The tensioner pulley...
[0003] Currently, after the tensioner is assembled, workers use measuring tools such as vernier calipers and micrometers to precisely measure its installation position, visually inspect its surface details and defects, and determine the height of the mounting plane. This entire inspection process requires a significant amount of time and personnel effort, impacting tensioner production efficiency.
[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the flatness detection device includes a fixed base, which is arranged on the table surface of the workbench, and the industrial camera is arranged on the fixed base.
[0009] Furthermore, the flatness detection device includes an infrared detector, which is mounted on the table surface of the workbench, and the height of the infrared detector is consistent with the height of the top surface of the tensioning wheel to be detected.
[0010] Furthermore, the rivet detection device includes a mechanical gripper, which is mounted on a worktable and located inside the industrial camera.
[0011] Furthermore, the marking device includes a column, which is vertically arranged on the worktable, and the laser marking machine is horizontally arranged at the top of the column.
[0012] Furthermore, a scanning galvanometer is provided at one end of the laser marking machine, and the scanning galvanometer faces directly downwards.

[0014] Furthermore, the turntable is provided with a plurality of platforms, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the turntable.
[0015] Furthermore, the flatness detection device, the rivet detection device, and the marking device are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. After the tension wheel is assembled, it first passes through a flatness detection device to check whether the screws of the tension wheel are tightened properly and the height of the tension wheel pulley to the installation plane. Then, a rivet detection device measures the rivet of the tension wheel. Finally, the tension wheel that has completed the inspection is laser-marked at the marking device. The inspection of the tension wheel is completed automatically, which greatly reduces the assembly and inspection time of the tension wheel and improves the inspection efficiency.
[0018] 2. At the flatness detection device, the infrared detector checks whether the screws are tightened properly, and the industrial camera captures the height of the pulley from the installation plane to complete the detection.

[0025] Example:
[0026] A tensioner assembly inspection device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a worktable 1, a flatness detection device 2, a rivet detection device 3, and a marking device 4. The flatness detection device 2, rivet detection device 3, and marking device 4 are installed on the worktable 1. During operation, the assembled tensioning wheel sequentially performs flatness and rivet detection, and finally, laser marking is applied to the detected tensioning wheel.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a turntable 11 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1, and the turntable 11 rotates clockwise during operation. Several platforms 111 are provided on the turntable 11, evenly distributed along its circumference, and each platform 111 supports a tensioning wheel. A flatness detection device 2, a rivet detection device 3, and a marking device 4 are arranged on the outer side of the turntable 11, and these devices are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable 11.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the flatness detection device 2 includes an industrial camera 21 and an infrared detector 23, which are mounted on the worktable 1. The industrial camera 21 is positioned on the outer side of the turntable 11, and the infrared detector 23 is positioned on the inner side of the turntable 11. A mounting base 22 is provided at the bottom of the industrial camera 21, which secures the worktable 1 and is located on the outer side of the turntable 11. The height of the detector is the same as the height of the top surface of the tensioning wheel to be inspected. During the inspection process, the infrared detector 23 checks whether there are protruding screws on the top surface of the tensioning wheel, thus determining whether the screws are tightened properly. The industrial camera 21 takes a side view of the height of the tensioning wheel's pulley from the mounting plane, compares it with the design dimensions, and then determines whether the tensioning wheel is installed correctly.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the rivet inspection device 3 includes an industrial camera 32 and a mechanical gripper 31. The industrial camera 32 is mounted on the worktable 1, positioned on the outer side of the turntable 11. The mechanical gripper 31 is mounted on the worktable 1, positioned on the inner side of the turntable 11. During the inspection process, the mechanical gripper 31 grips the tension wheel, aligns the rivet head of the tension wheel with the industrial camera 32, and takes a picture of the rivet head for measurement.
[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the marking device 4 includes a laser marking machine 42 and a support column. The support column is mounted on the table surface of the worktable 1, with the column 41 arranged vertically and the laser marking machine 42 arranged horizontally at the top of the column 41. A scanning galvanometer 421 is provided at one end of the laser marking machine 42, facing directly downwards and pointing towards the stage 111. When the tension wheel passes the detection point, the laser marking machine 42 marks on the tension wheel.
[0031] Specific work process:
[0032] After the tensioning wheel is assembled, the turntable 11 rotates, sending the tensioning wheel to the flatness detection device 2. The infrared detector 23 checks whether the screws are tightened properly, and the industrial camera 21 captures the height of the pulley from the mounting plane to complete the detection. Once the tensioning wheel passes the detection, the turntable 11 continues to rotate, sending the tensioning wheel to the rivet detection device 3. The mechanical gripper 31 activates, clamping the tensioning wheel to the industrial camera 32. The rivet position of the tensioning wheel is aligned with the industrial camera 32, and then a photo is taken for measurement and comparison. After the detection is qualified, the turntable 11 rotates, and the tensioning wheel is moved to the area below the scanning galvanometer 421 of the laser marking machine 42 for automatic marking.
[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
