Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual aid assembly device technology, and in particular to a visual aid assembly device for automotive wiring harnesses. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive wiring harness vision-assisted assembly device is a crucial piece of equipment in the automotive wiring harness assembly process. The industrial camera is one of the core components of the vision system, capable of capturing images of automotive wiring harnesses at high resolution and high frame rate. For example, using a megapixel-level CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) industrial camera can clearly capture details of the wiring harness, such as the color, thickness, and shape of the connectors.
[0003] Different types of industrial cameras are suitable for different assembly scenarios. For production lines that need to quickly inspect a large number of wire harnesses, high-speed industrial cameras may be selected to ensure that sufficient image information is acquired in a short time. Currently, industrial cameras often have many shadows during use, which makes the outline and details of the wire harnesses unclear and is not conducive to ensuring the accuracy of image acquisition.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes a visual aid assembly device for automotive wiring harnesses. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a vision-assisted assembly device for automotive wiring harnesses, which solves the problem that existing industrial cameras often produce shadows during use, resulting in unclear outlines and details of the wiring harness and hindering the accuracy of image acquisition.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A vision-assisted assembly device for automotive wiring harnesses, comprising:
[0008] An industrial camera, wherein a U-shaped movable frame is provided on the back side of the industrial camera, and the U-shaped movable frame is fixed to the industrial camera by two first mounting bolts; and a ring light for supplementary lighting is provided at the front end of the industrial camera.
[0009] An adjustable mounting bracket assembly, mounted on a U-shaped movable frame, is used to mount industrial cameras while allowing adjustment of the tilt angle of the U-shaped movable frame;
[0010] Easy-to-install components are provided on industrial cameras and ring lights to facilitate the replacement and use of ring lights.
[0011] In one possible design, the adjustable mounting bracket assembly includes a U-shaped fixed bracket disposed within a U-shaped movable bracket. Both ends of the U-shaped movable bracket are provided with first positioning holes, and both ends of the U-shaped fixed bracket are provided with second positioning holes. The same first positioning bolt is disposed through the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole on the same side, and a matching locking nut is threaded onto the first positioning bolt.
[0012] In one possible design, both ends of the U-shaped movable frame are provided with arc-shaped adjustment holes centered on the first positioning hole, and both ends of the U-shaped fixed frame are provided with through holes. The same second positioning bolt for reinforcement is installed through the through hole and the arc-shaped adjustment hole on the same side, and a matching locking nut is threaded onto the second positioning bolt.
[0013] In one possible design, the convenient installation component includes a T-shaped block fixedly mounted on the top of the industrial camera, a locking block fixedly mounted on the back side of the ring fill light, a slot for engaging the locking block at the top front end of the T-shaped block, and the locking block and the T-shaped block being fixed together by a second mounting bolt connected by threads.
[0014] In one possible design, the side wall of the U-shaped fixing bracket is provided with multiple reserved mounting holes.
[0015] In one possible design, the lens of the industrial camera passes through the center of the ring-shaped fill light.
[0016] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
[0017] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:
[0018] During installation, insert the clip on the back of the ring light into the slot of the T-shaped block on the top of the industrial camera. Use the second mounting bolt to pass through the clip and the T-shaped block and tighten it to fix the ring light. After that, select the appropriate bolts to fix the U-shaped bracket to the appropriate position on the production line through the reserved mounting holes.
[0019] When adjusting the tilt, the shooting angle of the industrial camera is adjusted by rotating the U-shaped movable frame around the first positioning bolt. The angle is then locked by tightening the locking nut that comes with the first positioning bolt to fix the tilt of the U-shaped movable frame. If further reinforcement is needed, the position of the second positioning bolt in the arc-shaped adjustment hole is adjusted simultaneously while rotating the U-shaped movable frame. After tightening the locking nut that comes with the first positioning bolt, tighten the locking nut that comes with the second positioning bolt to further fix the U-shaped movable frame and prevent it from shaking during shooting. After turning on the industrial camera and the ring fill light, the industrial camera begins to capture images of the automotive wiring harness. The ring fill light provides uniform fill light to reduce shadows and improve image clarity.
[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] In this invention, the ring light provides uniform light to the front of the industrial camera lens, reducing shadows and making the outline and details of the wire harness clearer, thereby improving the accuracy of image acquisition. Furthermore, the convenient installation components make it simple and quick to replace the ring light. Users only need to loosen the second mounting bolt to easily remove and replace the ring light, improving maintenance efficiency.
[0022] The adjustable mounting bracket assembly of this invention allows users to adjust the tilt of the U-shaped movable bracket as needed, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the industrial camera. This flexibility enables the device to adapt to different production line requirements.
[0023] This invention, through the design of an adjustable mounting bracket assembly and a convenient installation assembly, enables the adjustment of the tilt angle of the industrial camera and the easy replacement of the ring fill light, effectively improving the accuracy of image acquisition and work efficiency.
