[0047] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic inspection device for suspended conveyor lines, which can realize automatic inspection of suspended conveyor lines, improving inspection efficiency, accuracy, and safety. The automatic inspection device includes a base frame 1, a soundprint detector 2, and a controller 3.
[0049] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting section 13 is provided on the base frame 1. The suspended conveyor line is equipped with a traveling mechanism that is movable along its conveying direction. The traveling mechanism is used to mount the product to be conveyed (e.g., a washing machine drum) and move it along the suspended conveyor line. The mounting section 13 is configured to connect with the traveling mechanism, which can drive the base frame 1 to move along the suspended conveyor line. A voiceprint detector 2 is provided on the base frame 1, and at least one is provided on the base frame 1. The voiceprint detector 2 is used to collect the sound information of the component to be detected on the suspended conveyor line. A controller 3 is provided on the base frame 1 and is communicatively connected to the voiceprint detector 2.
[0050] The automatic inspection device for suspended conveyor lines provided in this embodiment uses a mounting part 13 on the base frame 1. The mounting part 13 can be connected to the traveling mechanism of the suspended conveyor line. By controlling the traveling mechanism to move along the suspended conveyor line, the automatic inspection device can move along the conveying direction of the suspended conveyor line. Since the traveling mechanism is an existing component of the suspended conveyor line, there is no need to configure a separate drive mechanism for the automatic inspection device, which simplifies the structural design of the automatic inspection device, reduces its size, and lowers costs. Furthermore, by directly connecting the base frame 1 to the traveling mechanism, the automatic inspection device can be suspended on the suspended conveyor line without occupying space below the suspended conveyor line, thus not affecting the normal operation of the production line.
[0051] As the automatic inspection device moves along the suspended conveyor line, the acoustic fingerprint detector 2 collects the sound information of the components to be inspected (such as track 200, motor, bearing, etc.) on the suspended conveyor line in real time and transmits it to the controller 3. By analyzing the sound data, the fault condition of the components to be inspected can be determined, such as abnormal noise of track 200, vibration and abnormal noise of motor, abnormal noise of bearing, etc. Based on the abnormal noise, potential faults of the components to be inspected can be predicted in advance, so as to avoid safety hazards caused by potential faults that are not easily detected by humans, improve the accuracy of inspection, provide a guarantee for the reliable operation of the suspended conveyor line, and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
[0052] This automatic inspection device, connected to the traveling mechanism of the suspended conveyor line, can automatically collect the sound information of the components to be inspected, realizing automatic inspection of the suspended conveyor line without the need for manual climbing, thus improving inspection efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
[0053] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The traveling mechanism includes a drive unit (not shown) and a bracket 100. The bracket 100 is provided with a connecting part 101, which is detachably connected to the mounting part 13 by fasteners. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the bracket 100 and is used to drive the bracket 100 to move along the suspended conveyor line. Specifically, the suspended conveyor line includes a track 200. The drive unit is used to drive the bracket 100 to slide along the track 200. During inspection, the mounting part 13 of the base frame 1 is connected to the connecting part 101 of the bracket 100, and the drive unit is started to make the bracket 100 drive the automatic inspection device to move along the track 200.
[0054] For example, fasteners such as bolts and nuts can be used to fix the mounting part 13 and the connecting part 101. The mounting part 13 is provided with a connecting hole 131, and the connecting part 101 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the connecting hole 131. The threaded part of the bolt passes through the through hole and the connecting hole 131. After tightening the nut on the threaded part, the mounting part 13 and the connecting part 101 can be fixed, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In other embodiments, the base frame 1 can also be suspended by a hanging method. For example, a hook is provided on the hanger 100, and a hanging ring or hanging hole is provided on the mounting part 13. The hook can be hooked onto the hanging ring or hanging hole.
[0055] Optionally, at least two voiceprint detectors 2 are provided. After the base frame 1 is connected to the traveling mechanism, there is at least one voiceprint detector 2 on each of the opposite sides of the suspended conveyor line. In this embodiment, see [reference]. Figure 3A soundprint detector 2 is installed on each side of the base frame 1. When the automatic inspection device moves along the track 200 of the suspended conveyor line, the two soundprint detectors 2 can collect sound information in the areas on both sides of the track 200 respectively, ensuring that abnormal noises generated during the operation of the suspended conveyor line can be collected, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection results.
[0056] In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the voiceprint detection elements 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, one, three, four, etc. can be set, and the number and distribution are not limited to those listed above.
[0057] Optionally, the voiceprint detection device 2 includes a voiceprint sensor. The voiceprint sensor can detect very subtle changes in sound, has high sensitivity, and can cover a wide frequency range, enabling the detection of various sound signals. Simultaneously, the voiceprint sensor has strong anti-interference capabilities, making it suitable for environments with high noise levels and ensuring accurate detection results.
[0058] Furthermore, the voiceprint detection element 2 can be a piezoelectric voiceprint sensor, a capacitive voiceprint sensor, an optical fiber voiceprint sensor, etc.
[0059] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The base frame 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a protective shell 12 surrounding the mounting plate 11. A receiving cavity is formed between the protective shell 12 and the mounting plate 11. The controller 3 is located within the receiving cavity, and the voiceprint detector 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 11. The mounting plate 11 provides a mounting base for the voiceprint detector 2. The mounting part 13 is disposed on the mounting plate 11, and the detection end of the voiceprint detector 2 faces the suspended conveyor line, facilitating the collection of sound information from each component to be tested. The protective shell 12 protects the controller 3, ensuring the reliability of the inspection device.
[0060] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting plate 11 has a first mounting hole 111 communicating with the accommodating cavity. First fixing plates 112 are provided on both sides of the first mounting hole 111 on the mounting plate 11. The voiceprint detector 2 is fixed to the first fixing plate 112, and the detection end of the voiceprint detector 2 is exposed through the first mounting hole 111. That is, the detection end of the voiceprint detector 2 is exposed and not obstructed, ensuring clearer acquisition of sound information.
[0061] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the orientation of the device, the top surface of the soundprint detector 2 in the area on both sides of the mounting plate 11 is not higher than the top surface of the mounting plate 11. That is, the main body of the soundprint detector 2 is completely hidden inside the protective shell 12, which can prevent the soundprint detector 2 from being collided with external objects during the movement of the automatic inspection device, and the entire device is relatively neat and beautiful.
[0062] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The voiceprint detector 2 is located between two first fixing plates 112. The outer shell 21 of the voiceprint detector 2 is fixedly connected to the two first fixing plates 112 to ensure that the voiceprint detector 2 is securely installed. Optionally, the first fixing plate 112 is located inside the protective shell 12 and includes a first plate body 1121 and a second plate body 1122 that are connected and arranged at an angle. The first plate body 1121 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11, and the second plate body 1122 extends away from the mounting plate 11. The outer shell 21 of the voiceprint detector 2 is connected to the second plate body 1122. Exemplarily, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a strip-shaped fixing hole 116, through which fasteners such as bolts or screws can be passed to connect to the first plate body 1121 to fix the first plate body 1121 to the mounting plate 11.
[0063] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The automatic inspection device also includes a power storage module 4 and a charging module 5 housed within the accommodating cavity. The power storage module 4 supplies power to the voiceprint detector 2 and the controller 3, ensuring the stable and reliable operation of these electrical components. The charging module 5 charges the power storage module 4, enabling it to be charged promptly and ensuring sufficient power supply.
[0064] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The input terminal of the charging module 5 is electrically connected to a charging plug 51, which is fixed to the protective shell 12. The charging plug 51 is used to connect to a power source to charge the energy storage module 4 through the charging module 5.
[0065] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The protective shell 12 is provided with a first inspection port 122 facing the energy storage module 4, and a first inspection door 123 that can be opened and closed is provided at the first inspection port 122. The first inspection port 122 and the first inspection door 123 are provided to facilitate the later inspection and maintenance of the energy storage module 4 and the charging module 5. For example, the first inspection door 123 is a pull-out type, which can be opened by pulling it out, making it easy to operate.
[0066] See Figure 3 The protective shell 12 is provided with heat dissipation vents, and a cooling fan 20 is installed at the heat dissipation vents. The cooling fan 20 enables air convection heat exchange between the inside and outside of the protective shell 12, ensuring a suitable temperature inside the protective shell 12, which is beneficial to the stable operation of components such as the controller 3, the energy storage module 4, and the charging module 5.
[0067] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 The protective housing 12 is provided with a second inspection port 124 facing the controller 3, and a second inspection door 125 that can be opened and closed is provided at the second inspection port 124. The second inspection port 124 and the second inspection door 125 are provided to facilitate the debugging and maintenance of the controller 3 in the future.
[0068] Optionally, the automatic inspection device also includes a first visual inspection element 6 mounted on the base frame 1. The suspended conveyor line includes multiple sections connected in sequence, each section having an indicator mark. The indicator mark indicates the position of the corresponding section on the suspended conveyor line, and the first visual inspection element 6 can capture images of the indicator marks. That is, the multiple sections of the suspended conveyor line are numbered, and each indicator mark corresponds to a number (e.g., the indicator mark is a sticker with a number). As the inspection device moves along the track 200 of the suspended conveyor line, the first visual inspection element 6 captures images of the indicator marks in real time. The controller 3 identifies the number of the indicator mark based on the captured image to determine the current position of the inspection device on the suspended conveyor line. The controller 3 integrates the sound information collected in the current section with the obtained position information, so that the sound information collected in different sections carries position information, which facilitates the determination of the location of the component to be inspected that is generating abnormal noise during subsequent analysis.
[0069] For example, the indicator can be placed at the bottom of the track 200 to facilitate image acquisition by the first visual detection element 6. Of course, in other embodiments, the indicator can also be placed in other locations, as long as the first visual detection element 6 can acquire the image of the indicator.
[0070] In other alternative implementations, the suspended conveyor line can be designed as follows: The suspended conveyor line comprises multiple sequentially connected sections, each equipped with an electronic tag. The electronic tag indicates the corresponding section's position on the suspended conveyor line. An identification unit is mounted on the base frame 1, capable of recognizing the electronic tags. That is, the multiple sections of the suspended conveyor line are numbered using electronic tags. As the inspection device moves along the track 200 of the suspended conveyor line, the identification unit determines the current position of the inspection device on the suspended conveyor line by recognizing the electronic tags. The controller 3 integrates the sound information collected within the current section with the position information collected by the identification unit, thus attaching position information to the sound information collected from different sections.
[0071] For example, the identification unit is an RFID reader, the electronic tag has an encoding, and the RFID reader is able to identify the encoding of the electronic tag.
[0072] See Figure 4 and Figure 7The automatic inspection device also includes a wireless communication module 9 and a monitoring center 10. The wireless communication module 9 is mounted on the base frame 1 and is communicatively connected to the controller 3. The wireless communication module 9 has a transmitter, and the monitoring center 10 has a receiver, which are communicatively connected. The controller 3 processes the sound information collected by the acoustic signature detector 2 and the obtained location information, so that the sound information carries location information. Then, the sound information with location information is transmitted to the monitoring center 10 through the wireless communication module 9. The monitoring center 10 analyzes these sound data to determine the fault information of each component to be inspected and to determine the specific location of the faulty component.
[0073] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 9 is located inside the protective shell 12, and the antenna 91 of the wireless communication module 9 is located outside the protective shell 12. The wireless communication module 9 and the controller 3 are arranged side by side, and the wireless communication module 9 can be inspected and maintained through the second inspection port 124.
[0074] Optionally, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The automatic inspection device also includes a first visual inspection element 6, a second visual inspection element 7, and a third visual inspection element 8 installed on the base frame 1. During the movement of the automatic inspection device along the suspended conveyor line, the first visual inspection element 6 collects visible light images of the components to be inspected (such as track 200, soft roller shaft, belt, etc.) on the suspended conveyor line in real time and transmits them to the controller 3. The second visual inspection element 7 collects infrared images of the components to be inspected (such as motor, bearing, etc.) in real time and transmits them to the controller 3. The third visual inspection element 8 collects video images of the area below the suspended conveyor line in real time and transmits them to the controller 3.
[0075] Analyzing visible light images can determine the defects in the components under inspection, such as cracks or breaks in track 200, wear or breakage in the soft roller shaft, and cracks or breakage in the belt, facilitating precise maintenance of the suspended conveyor line based on the defect conditions. Analyzing infrared images can determine the malfunctions of the components under inspection, such as whether the motor's operating temperature is too high, indicating a motor malfunction or overload; and whether the bearing's operating temperature is too high, indicating excessive bearing wear. Analyzing video images can determine whether there are operators in the area below the suspended conveyor line, preventing operators from being in hazardous environments during operation.
[0076] The setup of the first visual inspection component 6, the second visual inspection component 7, and the third visual inspection component 8 enables the automatic inspection device to not only analyze the fault conditions of various parts of the suspended conveyor line through sound information, but also to analyze the fault conditions of various components through image information, and to promptly detect unsafe behaviors of operators, thereby realizing fully automatic intelligent inspection of the suspended conveyor line and one-stop management of the safety inspection work of the suspended conveyor line.
[0077] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A first visual inspection element 6 is installed in the middle area of the base frame 1, directly opposite the track 200, to acquire visible light images of the track 200. A first visual inspection element 6 is installed on each side of the base frame 1 to acquire visible light images of the components to be inspected within the areas on both sides of the track 200, ensuring that visible light images of the components to be inspected in each area of the suspended conveyor line can be acquired. For example, the first visual inspection element 6 is a visible light camera.
[0078] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 3 Three second-vision detection elements 7 are provided, respectively arranged in the middle area and the two side areas of the base frame 1. The second-vision detection element 7 in the middle area is directly opposite the track 200 and is used to collect infrared images of the parts to be detected in the middle area of the suspended conveyor line. The second-vision detection elements 7 in the two side areas are used to collect infrared images of the parts to be detected in the two side areas of the suspended conveyor line, respectively, to ensure that the infrared images of the parts to be detected in each area can be collected. For example, the second-vision detection element 7 is an infrared camera.
[0079] In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the first visual detection element 6 and the second visual detection element 7 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, one, two, four, etc. can be set, and the number and distribution are not limited to those listed above.
[0080] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting plate 11 has a second mounting hole 113 communicating with the accommodating cavity. The first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 on both sides of the mounting plate 11 are fixed within the second mounting hole 113, and the detection ends of both the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 face the suspended conveyor line to facilitate the acquisition of visible light and infrared images. (Refer to...) Figure 3 In the orientation of the mounting plate 11, the top surfaces of the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 in the areas on both sides of the mounting plate 11 are not higher than the top surface of the mounting plate 11, resulting in a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0081] Furthermore, the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 are arranged in pairs, with each pair of the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 fixed within a mounting housing 14. The mounting housing 14 can be installed and removed as a whole from the mounting plate 11, making the installation and removal of the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 more convenient. (See reference) Figure 4 A second fixing plate 114 is provided on both sides of the second mounting hole 113. The second fixing plate 114 is located inside the protective shell 12. The mounting shell 14 is located between the two second fixing plates 114. The mounting shell 14 can be connected and fixed to the second fixing plate 114 by bolts or other fasteners.
[0082] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of first visual detection elements 6 and second visual detection elements 7 may not be equal, and the first visual detection elements 6 and second visual detection elements 7 may be fixed separately on the mounting plate 11 of the base frame 1.
[0083] See Figure 3 A first mounting bracket 115 is provided in the middle area of the mounting plate 11, and the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 in the middle area are mounted and fixed on the first mounting bracket 115. Specifically, the first mounting bracket 115 includes a first support plate 1151 and a second support plate 1152 arranged at intervals. The mounting housing 14 is located between the first support plate 1151 and the second support plate 1152. The mounting housing 14 can be fixed to the first support plate 1151 and the second support plate 1152 by fasteners such as bolts, so as to fix the first visual inspection element 6 and the second visual inspection element 7 as a whole on the first mounting bracket 115.
[0084] For example, both the first support plate 1151 and the second support plate 1152 are L-shaped plates. The shorter plate of the L-shaped plate is fixed to the mounting plate 11 by fasteners such as bolts, and the longer plate of the L-shaped plate extends vertically, with the mounting housing 14 fixed to the longer plate. Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is connected between the longer and shorter plates of the L-shaped plate to improve the support stability of the first support plate 1151 and the second support plate 1152.
[0085] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 A second mounting bracket 121 is provided on the protective shell 12, and the third vision detection component 8 is fixed to the second mounting bracket 121. The second mounting bracket 121 provides a mounting base for the third vision detection component 8, and the mounting angle of the third vision detection component 8 can be easily adjusted. For example, the second mounting bracket 121 is a rectangular frame structure fixedly installed on the side of the protective shell 12 facing away from the mounting plate 11.
[0086] Optionally, the third vision inspection component 8 includes a camera that can capture video images of the area below the suspended conveyor line in real time.
[0087] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 The first visual inspection component 6, the second visual inspection component 7, and the third visual inspection component 8 are all communicatively connected to the controller 3. The controller 3 processes the acquired visible light images, infrared images, video images, and obtained position information, adding position information to the image information. Then, the visible light images, infrared images, and video images with position information are transmitted to the monitoring center 10 via the wireless communication module 9. The monitoring center 10 analyzes these image data to determine the defects and faults of each component under inspection and to pinpoint the specific location of the defective or faulty component. The power storage module 4 is electrically connected to the first visual inspection component 6, the second visual inspection component 7, and the third visual inspection component 8, providing power to them and ensuring their stable and reliable operation.
