Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment factory inspection, in particular to a switch pin detection device and system. Background Art

[0002] When a switch is tested at the factory, it is usually tested by plugging and unplugging. However, this plugging and unplugging method has some hidden dangers. If the staff does not plug and unplug the switch properly, it is easy to damage the pins. For example:

[0003] 1) The switch is a normal product and works normally when plugged in. In this case, the switch is considered good and can be shipped. However, improper unplugging can easily damage the pins. When the switch is delivered to the customer, the customer cannot determine whether it is a factory defect or a user error.

[0004] 2) The switch is a normal product. If the plug is inserted improperly, the pins may be damaged. In this case, the switch will not work properly. However, the inspection personnel cannot determine whether the fault is in the production process or the inspection process.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] This embodiment relates to a switch pin detection device of the present utility model.

[0066] An illustrative embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 and 2 As shown, a switch pin detection device 1000 includes a first guide unit 1010, a locking unit 1020, a plurality of second guide units 1030, at least one image capture unit 1040, and a motion unit 1050. The first guide unit 1010 is disposed on a horizontal surface and is used to guide a mobile device carrying a plurality of switches so that the mobile device moves to a first preset position. The locking unit 1020 is disposed at a first end of the first guide unit 1010 and is used to lock the mobile device to prevent movement when the mobile device moves to the first preset position. The plurality of second guide units 1030 are vertically spaced above the first guide unit 1010 and are used to guide the plurality of switches carried by the mobile device so that the switches move to second preset positions. The image capture unit 1040 is disposed at the first ends of the plurality of second guide units 1030 and is used to capture images containing pins of the plurality of switches. The motion unit 1050 is connected to the image capture unit 1040 and is used to drive the image capture unit 1040 to move in three-dimensional space.

[0067] Typically, a switch has several slots on one side, each containing a pin. Because the slots are approximately 40 mm deep, the interior of the slots is difficult for the human eye to see. Therefore, image acquisition unit 1040 is used to capture images of the interior of the slots.

[0068] In the present invention, the image acquisition unit 1040 includes at least a camera, a light source, and other structures for taking a picture of the side of the switch where the pins are located. The light source can illuminate the inside of the pins, and the camera takes a picture to obtain an image of the inside of the pins.

[0069] In some embodiments, there are multiple image acquisition units 1040. The image acquisition units 1040 are arranged in an array. Specifically, the image acquisition units 1040 are arranged in a rows and b columns, where a ≥ 1, b ≥ 1, and a*b > 1. For example, the image acquisition units 1040 are arranged in one row and multiple columns, multiple rows and one column, or multiple rows and multiple columns.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the first guide unit 1010 includes two first guide elements 1011. The two first guide elements 1011 are symmetrically arranged on a horizontal plane, and the distance between the first ends of the two first guide elements 1011 is no greater than the distance between the second ends of the two first guide elements 1011. The first guide unit 1010 is used to guide a mobile device carrying a plurality of switches to a first preset position.

[0071] The first guide element 1011 can be fixed to the ground or suspended on the ground. In the case of being fixed to the ground, the first guide element 1011 can be fixed by bolts.

[0072] In the present invention, the first guide unit 1010 includes the following forms:

[0073] 1) The distance between the two first guide elements 1011 remains constant from the first end to the second end, that is, the two first guide elements 1011 are arranged in parallel;

[0074] 2) The distance between the two first guide elements 1011 increases from the first end to the second end;

[0075] 3) The distance between the two first guide elements 1011 remains constant from the first end to the middle and increases gradually from the middle to the second end.

[0076] Taking form 3) as an example, the first guide element 1011 includes a first guide member and a second guide member. The first guide member is arranged parallel to the first guide member of the other first guide element 1011; the first end of the second guide member is connected to the second end of the first guide member, and the second guide member is arranged outwardly, that is, the second end of the second guide member is arranged away from the second end of the second guide member of the other first guide element 1011.

[0077] Taking form 3) as an example, using this method, the mobile device can move toward the switch pin detection device 1000 at different angles. It is not necessary for the mobile device to be strictly perpendicular to the switch pin detection device 1000. Under the guidance of the first guide element 1011, the mobile device can gradually become perpendicular to the switch pin detection device 1000.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first guide element 1011 includes but is not limited to a guide seat, a guide rail, a guide rod and other structures.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking unit 1020 includes a locking element 1021 and a first driving element 1022. The locking element 1021 is disposed at the first end of the first guide unit 1010 and is used to lock the mobile device to prevent it from moving when the mobile device moves to the first preset position; the first driving element 1022 is connected to the locking element 1021 and is used to drive the locking element 1021 to move under the action of the first driving element 1022, so that the locking element 1021 can lock or unlock the mobile device.

[0080] Specifically, the locking element 1021 is disposed at the first ends of the two first guide elements 1011 .

[0081] Generally, the locking element 1021 has no direct connection with the two first guide elements 1011 .

[0082] Generally, there is no limit to the number of the locking elements 1021 , which can be one or more. If there are more than one locking elements 1021 , the locking elements 1021 are spaced apart at the first ends of the two first guide elements 1011 .

[0083] In some embodiments, the locking element 1021 includes but is not limited to a locking rod, a locking buckle, etc.

[0084] The first driving element 1022 drives the locking element 1021 to move in the following ways: 1) the locking element 1021 reciprocates in the vertical direction; 2) the locking element 1021 rotates.

[0085] Taking manner 1) as an example, when the locking element 1021 moves to the high position, the locking element 1021 does not lock the moving device; when the locking element 1021 moves to the low position, the locking element 1021 locks the moving device.

[0086] Taking approach 2) as an example, the locking element 1021 and the first driving element 1022 are eccentrically designed, that is, the first end of the locking element 1021 is connected to the first driving element 1022. When the second end of the locking element 1021 is rotated to a high position, the locking element 1021 does not lock the moving device; when the second end of the locking element 1021 is rotated to a low position, the locking element 1021 locks the moving device.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first driving element 1022 includes but is not limited to a driving motor, a cylinder, etc.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, the second guide unit 1030 includes a support element 1031 and two second guide elements 1032. The support element 1031 is disposed at the first end of the first guide unit 1010 and is used to place the switch. The two second guide elements 1032 are symmetrically disposed on the support element 1031. The distance between the first ends of the two second guide elements 1032 is no greater than the distance between the second ends of the two second guide elements 1032. They are used to guide the switch to the second preset position.

[0089] Specifically, the supporting element 1031 is disposed at the first ends of the two first guiding elements 1011 and is located above the locking element 1021 .

[0090] In some embodiments, the support element 1031 includes but is not limited to a support plate.

[0091] In the present invention, the two second guide elements 1032 include the following forms:

[0092] 1) The distance between the two second guide elements 1032 remains constant from the first end to the second end, that is, the two second guide elements 1032 are arranged in parallel;

[0093] 2) The distance between the two second guide elements 1032 increases from the first end to the second end;

[0094] 3) The distance between the two second guide elements 1032 remains constant from the first end to the middle and increases gradually from the middle to the second end.

[0095] Taking form 3) as an example, the second guide element 1032 includes a third guide member and a fourth guide member. The third guide member is arranged parallel to the third guide member of the other second guide element 1032. The first end of the fourth guide member is connected to the second end of the third guide member. The fourth guide member is arranged outwardly at an angle, i.e., the second end of the fourth guide member is arranged away from the second end of the fourth guide member of the other second guide element 1032.

[0096] Taking form 3) as an example, using this method, the switch can be moved toward the switch pin detection device 1000 at different angles, without having to make the switch strictly perpendicular to the switch pin detection device 1000. Under the guidance of the second guide element 1032, the switch can gradually become perpendicular to the switch pin detection device 1000.
