Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicone oil clutch detection devices, in particular to an automatic detection device for an electronically controlled silicone oil fan clutch. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development and technological advancements of the automotive industry are driving increasingly stringent performance requirements for various vehicle components, especially critical components that directly impact engine cooling efficiency, such as the silicone oil fan clutch. The silicone oil fan clutch is a crucial thermal management system component that optimizes engine cooling by adjusting fan speed, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. The performance of this clutch depends largely on its design and manufacturing quality, particularly the multiple toothed rings on its surface. The height of these toothed rings directly affects the clutch's ability to engage and disengage properly, which in turn impacts the efficiency and reliability of the entire cooling system.

[0003] However, in existing silicone oil fan clutch manufacturing processes, ring gear height is often measured manually or semi-automatically. These methods often rely on the operator's experience and technical skills, resulting in slow detection, poor consistency, and susceptibility to subjective interference. Furthermore, the market lacks automated testing equipment specifically designed for precise ring gear height measurement, posing significant challenges for manufacturers, particularly in today's pursuit of large-scale production and high-quality control.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems and meet the market demand for high-quality silicone oil fan clutches, the present application proposes an automatic detection device for an electronically controlled silicone oil fan clutch. Utility Model Content

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), such directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0034] The utility model provides an automatic detection device for an electronically controlled silicone oil fan clutch.

[0035] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1-4 The electronically controlled silicone oil fan clutch automatic detection device comprises:

[0036] A working box 1, comprising an upper box 2 and a lower box 3;

[0037] Detection mechanism 4, the detection mechanism at least includes a laser rangefinder and a high-definition camera;

[0038] A three-directional moving mechanism 5, which is connected to the detection mechanism 4 and is used to realize the three-directional movement of the detection mechanism;

[0039] A circulating conveying mechanism, comprising an upper linear conveying assembly 7, a lower linear conveying assembly 8, and a lifting conveying device 9 connected to both ends of the upper linear conveying assembly and the lower linear conveying assembly. The upper linear conveying assembly and the lower linear conveying assembly are provided with a base 10 for placing a clutch. The upper linear conveying assembly is provided through the upper box body, and the lower linear conveying assembly is provided through the lower box body.

[0040] The blocking mechanism at least includes a first blocking mechanism 11 located on the left side of the upper box body, a second blocking mechanism 12 located in the upper box body, and a third blocking mechanism 13 located on the right side of the upper box body.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the working box is composed of an upper box and a lower box, forming a relatively closed detection space, providing a closed and controlled detection environment, and ensuring that the detection process is not disturbed by external factors.

[0042] The detection mechanism is installed on a three-way moving mechanism and can move along the X, Y and Z axes, realizing the precise positioning of the detection mechanism in three-dimensional space and ensuring that all detection points of the clutch can be covered.

[0043] The detection mechanism includes a laser rangefinder and a high-definition camera, which enables comprehensive inspection of the clutch, including physical dimensions and appearance quality.

[0044] The upper linear conveying assembly and the lower linear conveying assembly in the circulating conveying mechanism pass through the upper box and the lower box respectively to realize automatic circulating conveying of the clutch. The design of the circulating conveying mechanism enables the clutch to automatically enter and leave the detection area, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0045] The blocking mechanism rationally arranges the flow of clutches during the inspection process, ensuring that each clutch can be fully inspected in sequence. The first blocking mechanism is mainly used to block the products that have completed inspection, facilitating manual or robotic unloading. The second blocking mechanism is used to block the products, so that they remain in the box and are inspected by the inspection mechanism. The third blocking mechanism blocks the subsequent products, making them wait outside the work box until the previous product has completed inspection, thus achieving orderly feeding and unloading of inspection products.

[0046] Specifically, a mounting plate 14 is provided on the table between the upper box body 2 and the lower box body 3, and the three-way moving mechanism includes a lifting beam 15 slidably set on the mounting plate through a slide rail slider assembly, a lifting drive module 16 connected to the lifting beam 15 for driving the lifting beam to perform lifting and lowering movements, a transverse driving module 17 fixed on the lifting beam, a mounting beam 18 fixed on the output end of the transverse driving module 17, a front and rear driving module 19 fixed on the mounting beam 18, and a detection base 20 fixed on the output end of the front and rear driving module 19, and the detection mechanism 4 is arranged on the detection base 20.

[0047] The setting of the three-way moving mechanism enables the detection device to move along the X, Y and Z axes, realizing the precise positioning of the detection mechanism in three-dimensional space and ensuring that all detection points of the clutch can be covered.

[0048] Specifically, it also includes multiple installation frames 21, and the upper linear transmission assembly and the lower linear transmission assembly are arranged parallel to each other on the installation frame. The upper linear transmission assembly and the lower linear transmission assembly both include a first conveyor belt assembly 22 and a conveyor belt side plate 23 fixed on the installation frame.

[0049] The mounting frame stably supports the upper and lower linear conveyor assemblies, ensuring the clutch's smooth movement during transport. The design of the conveyor belt assembly and conveyor side panels ensures the clutch's safety during transport. The clutch's base rests on the conveyor belt assembly, which includes the conveyor belt and its drive motor. This structure is standard in the conveyor belt industry.

[0050] Specifically, the lifting and conveying device includes a lifting frame 24, a lifting base 25 arranged on the lifting frame through a slide rail and slider assembly, and a second conveyor belt assembly 26 arranged on the lifting base.

[0051] The lifting conveyor device allows the clutch to smoothly transition between the upper and lower linear conveyor components, ensuring the continuity of the conveying process and enabling the entire circular conveying mechanism to convey the product in a cycle.

[0052] Specifically, a transition roller 27 is provided on the lifting frame on one side of the upper linear transmission assembly and the lower linear transmission assembly, and a limit buffer seat 28 is provided on the lifting base on the other side.

[0053] The transition roller helps the clutch transition smoothly between the lifting frame and the linear transmission component. The limit buffer seat acts as a limiter and buffer to prevent the clutch from sliding out of the other side after being sent from the linear transmission component into the lifting frame, thus protecting the clutch from damage.

[0054] Specifically, the blocking mechanism includes a blocking base plate 29 fixed on the conveyor belt side plate, a blocking cylinder 30 fixed on the blocking base plate 29, a connecting block 31 fixed to the output end of the blocking cylinder 30, and a blocking head 32 rotatably connected to the connecting block 31, and a roller mechanism 33 is provided on the blocking head 32.

[0055] The blocking mechanism effectively controls the flow of the clutch, ensuring an orderly inspection process. The roller mechanism reduces friction between the blocking head and the clutch, extending its service life. During operation, the blocking cylinder lifts the blocking head to block the base used to hold the clutch.

[0056] Specifically, it also includes a display computer 34, which can at least be used to display and store data collected by the detection mechanism.

[0057] The display computer can display the test data in real time, making it easy for operators to monitor the test process. The data storage function facilitates subsequent quality analysis and traceability.

[0058] Technical personnel please note: Although the utility model has been described according to the above specific implementation methods, the concept of the utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification using the concept of the utility model will be included in the scope of protection of this patent right.
