DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] A device for detecting foreign matter on a surface 1, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 , including a detection component 4, the detection component 4 includes a first frame plate 47, a second frame plate 41, a guide column 44, a detection plate 42 and a sensor 45, the second frame plate 41 is installed on one side of the first frame plate 47; the guide column 44 is installed on the lower side of the first frame plate 47, and the detection plate 42 is slidably installed on the guide column 44; the sensor 45 is installed on the inner side of the first frame plate 47, and a shielding member 451 that cooperates with the sensor 45 is installed on the detection plate 42.

[0028] When the detection component 4 is attached or moved to the surface of the workpiece or mold, foreign matter on the surface causes the detection plate 42 to rise in the direction of the guide column 44, and the shielding member 451 on the upper side of the detection plate 42 rises accordingly. The sensor 45 detects the shielding change, thereby judging and detecting the foreign matter on the surface.

[0029] Specifically, when the detection plate 42 is located below the guide post 44, the upper end surface of the shielding member 451 is lower than the detection level of the sensor 45. When a foreign object is present, the detection plate moves upward. When the detection plate 42 is located above the guide post 44, the upper end surface of the shielding member 451 is higher than the detection level of the sensor 45. Shielding member 451 blocks sensor 45, and by detecting changes in the value / signal of sensor 45, the presence of a foreign object can be detected. More specifically, if the sensor amplifier displays no change in value, it indicates that there is no foreign object on the mold or product surface; if the value changes, it indicates that there is foreign object on the mold or product surface. The presence of foreign object on the mold surface is converted into a change in the height difference of the detection plate on the mold surface to determine whether there is any foreign object remaining on the mold surface, preventing damage to the mold caused by foreign object closing.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3A corresponding sensor 45 is provided on the inner side of the first frame plate 47 to ensure detection accuracy. A mounting block 43 is provided on the inner side of the second frame plate 41, and the guide column 44 is mounted on the lower side of the mounting block 43. The guide column 44 includes a guide member 441 and a stopper 442 mounted on the lower side of the guide member 441; the detection plate 42 is slidably mounted on the guide member 441. A bracket 46 is installed on the inner side of the second frame plate 41, and the sensor 45 is mounted on the bracket 46.

[0031] like Figure 2 The lower side of the detection plate 42 is provided with a fitting portion 421 that matches the product or mold 8. The detection plate 42 can be made of a flexible member, such as a nylon member. The profiling structure is designed according to the mold surface morphology to fit the mold surface.

[0032] The surface foreign body detection device of the present invention further includes a translation assembly 3, which includes a second linear module 37. A support rod 49 is provided on one side of the first frame plate 47. The support rod 49 is mounted on the sliding end of the second linear module 37. The translation assembly 3 drives the detection assembly 4 and its detection plate 42 to move horizontally.

[0033] The present invention also includes a lifting assembly 2, comprising a mounting plate 24 and a first linear module 25 mounted thereon. A second linear module 37 is mounted on a connecting plate 26, which is mounted on the sliding end of the first linear module 25. The lifting assembly 2 is used to adjust the height of the translation assembly 3, the detection assembly 4, and its detection plate 42. The linear module is driven by a servo motor, which drives a coupling and a ball screw, resulting in reciprocating motion at the drive end. The linear module is conventional technology and can be used with existing commercial products. This invention will not elaborate further on this.

[0034] The utility model has a simple structure, reasonable design, and is easy to use. Through the lifting component 2 and the translation component, the overall lifting and translation movement of the detection component is ensured, the movement stability is maintained, and the detection part is ensured to enter and exit the mold, thereby realizing automated detection. It can well detect whether there are foreign objects on the surface of the object. It prevents the presence of foreign objects from damaging the mold 8 during mold closing, which is beneficial to downstream processing technology and improves product yield.

[0035] The detection plate and sensor arrangement can be adjusted according to the actual surface shape of the mold or product, making it compatible with the detection of different object surfaces.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
