Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a bushing orientation identification mechanism, which includes a base plate 1. The base plate 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire mechanism, ensuring that all components can be stably installed and operated. A movable component 2 is provided on one side of the base plate 1, an identification component 3 is provided on one side of the movable component 2, and a rotating component 4 is provided on the side of the identification component 3 away from the movable component 2.

[0022] The moving assembly 2 includes a pair of slide rails 21 symmetrically arranged on the base plate 1. The slide rails 21 provide a smooth track for the slider 22 to slide, ensuring that the fixture fixing plate 23 and the product 27 being tested on it can move linearly. The slider 22 is slidably mounted on the two slide rails 21, and the slider 22 provides a mounting base for the fixture fixing plate 23. The fixture fixing plate 23 is bolted to the slider 22, and the fixture fixing plate 23 provides a mounting base for the seated bearing 24 and is bolted to ensure stability. A seated bearing is bolted to the middle of the fixture fixing plate 23. Bearing 24, the mounted bearing 24 provides stable support for the tooling fixed shaft 25 and supports the rotation of the tooling fixed shaft 25, reducing friction and wear. The tooling fixed shaft 25 is set in the bearing inner hole of the mounted bearing 24. The tooling fixed shaft 25 provides the mounting base for tooling 26. Tooling 26 is threadedly connected to the middle of the tooling fixed shaft 25. The product to be measured 27 is set on tooling 26. Tooling 26 has a round rod that matches the middle hole of the product to be measured 27 so that the product to be measured 27 can be accurately placed on the step of tooling 26.

[0023] A cylinder mounting base plate 28 is bolted on the base plate 1 on one side of the two slide rails 21. The cylinder mounting base plate 28 provides the mounting foundation for the cylinder 29. The cylinder 29 is bolted on the cylinder mounting base plate 28. The cylinder 29 provides power through the telescopic rod to push the tooling fixing plate 23 and the product under test 27 to move along the slide rail 21. The top of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 29 is threaded with a floating joint 210. The floating joint 210 connects the telescopic rod of the cylinder 29 and the cylinder connecting plate 211, allowing a certain degree of floating to adapt to different positions and angles of movement. A cylinder connecting plate 211 is provided on one side of the tooling fixing plate 23. The side of the floating joint 210 away from the cylinder 29 is connected to the cylinder connecting plate 211. The cylinder connecting plate 211 transmits the power of the cylinder 29 to the tooling fixing plate 23.

[0024] The identification component 3 includes a light source mounting bracket 31 bolted to the base plate 1. The light source mounting bracket 31 supports the light source mounting plate 32, ensuring stable illumination of the tested product 27 by the light source. The light source mounting plate 32 is located on one side of the light source mounting bracket 31, providing a mounting base for the light source 37 and the camera mounting bracket 33. The camera mounting bracket 33 is mounted on the light source mounting plate 32, supporting the slide 34 and the camera 35, ensuring stable imaging of the tested product 27 by the camera 35. A slide table 34 is provided on the side, which drives the camera 35 and lens 36 to move up and down to adjust the shooting distance. The camera 35 is located on the side of the slide table 34 away from the camera mounting bracket 33. The camera 35 captures an image of the product 27 under test for subsequent orientation recognition. The lens 36 is located at the bottom of the camera 35. The lens 36 works with the camera 35 to ensure that the captured image is clear and accurate. A light source 37 is located at the bottom of the light source mounting bracket 31. The light source 37 provides all-round illumination to ensure that the camera 35 can capture a clear image.

[0025] A sensor bracket 38 is provided on the side of the base plate 1 away from the light source mounting bracket 31. The sensor bracket 38 supports the sensor 39, which is used to detect whether the product under test 27 has reached the identification position. The sensor 39 is provided on the sensor bracket 38. The sensor 39 detects the position of the product under test 27 to ensure that the identification component 3 accurately identifies the bushing position.

[0026] The rotating assembly 4 includes several motor mounting posts 41 mounted on the base plate 1. The motor mounting posts 41 support the motor mounting plate 42, ensuring that the servo motor 43 can be stably installed and operated. The motor mounting plate 42 is mounted on the top of the motor mounting posts 41, providing a mounting base for the servo motor 43. The servo motor 43 is mounted on the bottom of the motor mounting plate 42, providing power to drive the friction wheel mounting shaft 44 and the friction wheel 45 to rotate. The transmission end of the servo motor 43 is clamped to the friction wheel mounting shaft 44 by bolts. The friction wheel mounting shaft 44 provides a mounting base for the friction wheel 45. The friction wheel 45 is mounted on the outside of the friction wheel mounting shaft 44. The friction wheel 45 contacts the product under test 27 and rotates it to a specific position through friction.

[0027] In use, the operator first needs to place the product to be tested 27 on fixture 26, so that the round rod on fixture 26 passes through the central hole of the product to be tested 27, and place the product to be tested 27 on the step of fixture 26. The telescopic rod of cylinder 29 extends and transmits power to the fixture fixing plate 23 and the slider 22 at its bottom through the floating joint 210 and the cylinder connecting plate 211, so that fixture 26 and the product to be tested 27 on it move along the slide rail 21, and move the product to be tested 27 directly below the camera 35 and the lens 36. After the sensor 39 detects that the product to be tested 27 has reached the recognition position, it starts the recognition component 3 to work.

[0028] Light source 37 provides all-around illumination to the product under test 27, ensuring clear and accurate images. Slide 34 drives camera 35 and lens 36 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between camera 35 and lens 36 and the product under test 27 to ensure that the product under test 27 is photographed at the optimal shooting distance. After the shooting is completed, the control system identifies the orientation of the product under test 27. After identification, the control system issues a command to servo motor 43. Servo motor 43 drives friction wheel mounting shaft 44 and friction wheel 45 to rotate to a specific position according to the command of the control system. When friction wheel 45 contacts the product under test 27, it can rotate the product under test 27 to the required direction. After the orientation of the product under test 27 is identified, the telescopic rod of cylinder 29 retracts, moving the product under test 27 out of the identification component 3 and into the standby position, ready for the next process.
