Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy die casting technology, specifically to a device for inspecting aluminum alloy die casting blanks. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloys are one of the most widely used metal structural materials in industry, and are extensively used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and chemical industries. With the rapid development of the industrial economy, the demand for aluminum alloys is increasing, which has led to in-depth research on aluminum alloy materials. Moreover, aluminum alloys are the most widely used alloys, especially in the bicycle industry, where the requirements for the quality and strength of bicycle parts are constantly increasing. Bicycle parts made of aluminum alloy forging materials are beginning to receive attention. In the current technology, bicycle parts are generally made of aluminum alloy materials by die casting equipment.

[0003] During the die casting process of aluminum alloys, due to improper control of die casting conditions, improper operation, excessive impurities in raw materials, or poor molds, some defects may appear on the surface or inside of the die castings, such as porosity, eddy holes, shrinkage cavities, shrinkage porosity, slag holes, inclusions, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the aluminum alloy die castings.

[0004] Application number "202121935943.5" describes "a mobile detection device for defects in aluminum alloy die castings, relating to the field of aluminum alloy die casting technology. It addresses the problem that existing aluminum alloy die casting defect detection devices can only perform detection when the object is moved to the detection position, resulting in low overall detection efficiency and making it difficult for users to change the detection surface of the part. The mobile detection mechanism includes a mobile detection platform below it; it also includes: a mobile guide rail mounted above the mobile detection platform, a mobile slider on the lower surface of the mobile guide rail, an electric lifting rod below the mobile slider, a lifting mounting frame at the lower end of the electric lifting rod, and a detection box at the middle position of the lifting mounting frame; a top mounting box mounted above the mobile guide rail, a driven column below the top mounting box, and a drive motor inside the top mounting box."

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for inspecting aluminum alloy die-casting blanks, comprising:

[0024] Testing station 1;

[0025] The conveying mechanism 2 is located on the testing table 1. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveyor 201, multiple movable frames 202 and multiple sets of fixed components. The conveyor 201 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the testing table 1. Each movable frame 202 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the conveyor 201. Each set of fixed components is located on the movable frame 202.

[0026] Visual inspection camera 3 is installed on the top of the outer wall of inspection table 1;

[0027] The sorting mechanism 4 is located on the testing table 1. The sorting mechanism 4 includes a collection box 401, a non-conforming box 402, and a moving part. The collection box 401 is located on the moving part, the non-conforming box 402 is located on the moving part, and the moving part is located on the testing table 1.

[0028] In this implementation scheme: the conveyor mechanism 2 on the inspection table 1 can sequentially transport the aluminum alloy die-cast blanks to be inspected to below the vision inspection camera 3. The vision inspection camera 3 inspects the surface defects of the die-cast blanks. The conveyor mechanism 2 can significantly improve production efficiency by transporting the die-cast blanks, allowing for more efficient processing of large quantities of die-cast blanks and meeting production needs. This avoids the need for manual placement and removal of die-cast blanks, which is labor-intensive and reduces production efficiency. The movable frame 202 on the conveyor 201 is used to place the aluminum alloy die-cast blanks to be inspected. The movable frame 202 is installed on the conveyor belt of the conveyor 201. Fixed components on each movable frame 202... It can clamp and fix the aluminum alloy die-cast blank to be inspected, increasing the stability of the die-cast blank inspection. It can also rotate the die-cast blank during the inspection process, enabling comprehensive inspection of the die-cast blank and avoiding inspection of only one side of the die-cast blank. Through the classification mechanism 4, the die-cast blanks that pass the inspection and those that fail are classified and collected. The collection box 401 and the non-conforming box 402 are driven back and forth by the moving parts, so that the die-cast blanks that have completed the inspection can enter the moving collection box 401 and the non-conforming box 402 respectively. The collection box 401 collects the qualified die-cast blanks, and the non-conforming box 402 collects the unqualified die-cast blanks.

[0029] Specifically, each set of fixed components includes a forward and reverse motor 203, a bidirectional threaded rod 204, two movable plates 205, and a clamping assembly. The forward and reverse motor 203 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the movable frame 202. The bidirectional threaded rod 204 is rotatably embedded in the inner wall of the movable frame 202 and is fixedly set at the output end of the forward and reverse motor 203. Each movable plate 205 is threaded to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 204, and each movable plate 205 is slidably engaged with the movable plate 205. The clamping assembly is set on the movable plate 205.

[0030] In this embodiment: when the forward and reverse motor 203 is energized, it drives the bidirectional threaded rod 204 to rotate on the moving frame 202, which can drive the two moving plates 205 to move closer or further apart from each other. The two moving plates 205 are respectively symmetrically arranged on the left-hand thread and the right-hand thread of the bidirectional threaded rod 204. With the help of the clamping assembly, the die-cast blank can be clamped and fixed.

[0031] Specifically, each clamping assembly includes two rotating shafts 206, two clamping parts 207, and a rotary motor 208. Each rotating shaft 206 is rotatably embedded in the outer wall of the moving plate 205, and each clamping part 207 is fixedly disposed on one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 206. The rotary motor 208 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of one of the moving plates 205, and one of the rotating shafts 206 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the rotary motor 208.

[0032] In this embodiment: as the two moving plates 205 approach each other, the clamping member 207 on the rotating shaft 206 clamps and fixes the die-cast blank. After clamping, by starting the rotating motor 208, the rotating motor 208 can drive one of the rotating shafts 206 to rotate. Since the two rotating shafts 206 are in close contact with the die-cast blank, the two rotating shafts 206 can rotate on the moving plate 205, which can comprehensively inspect the surface of the die-cast blank and avoid only being able to inspect one side of the die-cast blank.

[0033] Specifically, the moving parts include a movable plate 403, a moving cylinder 404, and two sets of guide components. The movable plate 403 is mounted on the guide components, the moving cylinder 404 is mounted on the top of the outer wall of the testing platform 1, the movable plate 403 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the moving cylinder 404, each set of guide components is mounted on the testing platform 1, the collection box 401 is mounted on the top of the outer wall of the movable plate 403, and the defective box 402 is mounted on the top of the outer wall of the movable plate 403.

[0034] In this embodiment: the movable plate 403 is driven by the movable cylinder 404 to move between the two sets of guide components, which can change the position of the collection box 401 and the defective box 402. According to the detection result of the vision inspection camera 3, the collection box 401 or the defective box 402 can be moved to the lower part of the discharge end of the conveyor 201 to collect the die-cast blanks after inspection. The guide components guide the movement of the movable plate 403.

[0035] Specifically, each guide assembly includes a slide rail 405 and a slider 406. The slide rail 405 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the testing table 1, and the slider 406 is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the slide rail 405.

[0036] In this embodiment, the slide rail 405 and the slider 406 facilitate the movement of the movable plate 403 and guide the movement of the movable plate 403.

[0037] Specifically, each slider 406 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the outer wall of the movable plate 403.

[0038] In this embodiment, the movable plate 403 is fixedly disposed between the two sliders 406, which guides the movement of the movable plate 403 and increases the stability of the movement of the movable plate 403.

[0039] In use, the aluminum alloy die-cast blank to be inspected is first placed between two clamping pieces 207. The forward and reverse motors 203 are then activated, driving the bidirectional threaded rod 204 to rotate. This brings the rotating shafts 206 on the two moving plates 205 and the clamping pieces 207 closer together, clamping and fixing the die-cast blank. Next, the conveyor 201 is activated, intermittently transporting the fixed die-cast blank to below the vision inspection camera 3. The vision inspection camera 3 then inspects the surface of the die-cast blank to check for any defects. If holes or cracks are present, during the inspection process, the rotary motor 208 will be activated to drive the rotary shaft 206 and the die-cast blank to rotate, allowing inspection to be performed on all four sides of the die-cast blank, avoiding the limitation of only inspecting one side of the die-cast blank. Based on the inspection results, the moving cylinder 404 will drive the two sliders 406 on the movable plate 403 to move within the two slide rails 405, so that the collection box 401 or the defective box 402 is moved below the discharge end of the conveyor 201. After the inspection is completed, the die-cast blank will enter the collection box 401 or the defective box 402 respectively.

[0040] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
