DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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.
[0023] Example 1: This example aims to solve the problem that the existing shuttle car needs to transport the molded grille with inspection to the inspection point for inspection on the production line, but the existing shuttle car may not be able to effectively fix the molded grille during transportation, resulting in displacement or shaking of the molded grille during movement. Figure 1-Figure 4 The molded grille quality automatic detection shuttle includes a transmission track 110 and a shuttle body 111.
[0024] The shuttle has a placement slot 140 within it, housing the motor 125. A rotation slot 141 is defined at the bottom of the placement plate 113, corresponding to the rotation rod 124. The bottom of the rotation rod 124 is connected to the motor 125 via the rotation slot 141. The shuttle body 111 slides onto the transport track 110, ensuring stable operation. The shuttle is activated and moves along the transport track 110 to the designated inspection point.
[0025] The molded grille is placed into the groove 112 on the shuttle body 111. A placement plate 113 matching the shape of the molded grille is located within the groove 112 to ensure the molded grille can be stably placed on the shuttle. When the molded grille is placed into the groove 112, the control assembly 120 begins operation. The control assembly 120 drives the motor 125 via the control panel 122, and the rotating rod 124 drives the driving rod 123, causing the locking rod 115 to slide from the chute 114 and insert into the fixed position of the molded grille. The locking rod 115 is in the shape of a barb, which can effectively clamp the molded grille to prevent it from shifting or shaking during transportation.
[0026] The telescopic cylinder 131 drives the extension and retraction of the driving rod 121, thereby pushing the locking rod 115 to the fixed position of the molded grille. The telescopic cylinder 131 in the telescopic slot 130 of the driving rod 121 adjusts the position of the locking rod 115 as needed to ensure that the molded grille is fastened. The limit block 132 slides in the limit slot 133 to ensure that the driving rod 121 moves within a certain range to maintain the stability and precise position of the locking rod 115. The motor 125 drives the driving rod 123 through the rotating rod 124, thereby controlling the movement of the locking rod 115. The motor 125 is arranged in the placement slot 140 in the shuttle car, and the rotating rod 124 is connected to the motor 125 through the rotating slot 141 to ensure that the motor 125 can accurately control the movement of the locking rod 115.
[0027] The shuttle continues to move along the transport track 110, transporting the fixed molded grating to the inspection point. At the inspection point, the molded grating undergoes quality inspection through an automatic inspection system. Because the molded grating has been effectively fixed during transportation, the inspection system can obtain accurate data.
[0028] After the inspection is completed, the shuttle moves to the unloading area. The control assembly 120 drives the locking rod 115 to be retracted, and the molded grid can be taken out or the next operation is carried out. The shuttle body 111 returns to the initial position and is ready for the transportation and inspection of the next molded grid.
[0029] In this embodiment: the control component 120 drives the motor 125 and the rotating rod 124 to accurately control the insertion position of the locking rod 115, thereby achieving stable fixation of the molded grille. The driving rod 121 is driven by the telescopic cylinder 131, so as to further push the locking rod 115 to the accurate position, thereby avoiding displacement of the molded grille due to unfixedness during transportation. The molded grille has been firmly fixed during transportation, thereby avoiding detection errors caused by shaking or displacement, and improving the accuracy of data acquired by the automatic detection system. The system is driven by the motor 125 and the rotating rod 124 drives the driving rod 123 to automatically control the movement of the locking rod 115, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.
[0030] Example 2: This example aims to solve the problem that the motor 125 and the control component 120 generate heat during the operation of the shuttle, which may cause the equipment to overheat and affect the performance and life. This example is an improvement made on the basis of Example 1. For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 Heat sinks 142 are mounted on the sides of the placement plate 113 and the shuttle body 111. Heat sinks 142 are provided with a number of heat dissipation holes 143. A buffer plate 144 is located within the chute 114, with buffer springs 145 attached to its sides. One side of the buffer plate 144 contacts the side of the locking rod 115, while the other side of the buffer plate 144 contacts the buffer spring 145. The arrangement of the buffer plate 144, the locking rod 115, and the buffer spring 145 effectively absorbs and mitigates impact forces during transportation.
[0031] In this embodiment: a heat sink 142 is installed on the side of the shuttle body 111 by placing the plate 113, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes 143 are opened on the heat sink 142. The heat dissipation holes 143 opened on the heat sink 142 can help to effectively dissipate heat, so as to keep the operating temperature of the motor 125 and the control system within a reasonable range, thereby preventing performance degradation or failure due to overheating.

[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
