The application of visual inspection technology in tire inspection has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of inspection. When inspecting tire specifications, tire specification inspection devices can be used.

[0003] Traditional tire inspection relies primarily on manual methods, which suffer from high labor intensity, susceptibility to subjective factors, and high rates of missed and false detections. To address these shortcomings, a tire specification inspection method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium disclosed in existing technology (Chinese Patent Application No. CN201911354822.9, Publication Date 2020-05-08) can be referenced. This inspection apparatus determines priorities based on the confidence level of a polygonal target region that includes at least the tire specification, and then checks whether the tire specification matches a preset tire specification according to the priority. This allows for accurate and rapid tire specification inspection. Fully automated review not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the review process but also saves labor costs, avoiding the drawbacks of high cost, fatigue, and low accuracy associated with manual inspection, thus ensuring the fairness and transparency of the review process.

[0004] Although the above methods can detect tire specifications, there are still some shortcomings in the detection process. The detection requires scanning the tire, but as the conveyor rollers transport the tire, it may shift during the transport process, resulting in some errors during detection.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed that a tire specification testing device can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tire specification detection device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the current tire specification detection devices on the market require scanning the tire during detection, but the tire may shift during the conveying process as it is conveyed by the conveyor roller.

The barcode scanning assembly includes a guide rail installed on the left side of the powered roller conveyor, and a barcode scanner is fixed at the bottom of the guide rail. The barcode scanner mainly scans vehicles as they are stacked in the air to a designated position. The bottom two sides of the light-shielding box are open to facilitate the entry of car tires. An area scan camera assembly is installed above the light-shielding box. The area scan camera assembly takes pictures of the tires, obtains tire information, and analyzes it using an algorithm to determine whether it is qualified. In addition, a centering clamping assembly is installed below the light-shielding box to limit the tires inside the light-shielding box, facilitating subsequent image processing by the area scan camera assembly.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an identification mechanism is installed at the middle position of the power roller line, which can identify the basic information of the tire.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the upper end of the clamping rod is inserted into the roller inside the power roller line, and the two sets of clamping rods form a relative sliding structure with respect to the upper inner side of the connecting plate and the power roller line.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer side of the clamping rod is attached to the side of the tire, and the connecting plate is slidably positioned at the bottom outer side of the sunshade box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This tire specification detection device adopts modular and standardized commonly used parts, and its universal design makes it easy to produce and assemble. It also accurately detects tire specification information to ensure that it is within the technical standard range. This measure effectively prevents tire quality defects from flowing into the next process, improves production inspection efficiency, and reduces the misjudgment rate caused by long working hours during manual judgment. In addition, the centering clamping component can realize stable limiting treatment of the tire inside the light shield box, which facilitates subsequent information detection and processing. The specific details are as follows.

[0014] 1. A barcode scanning component is installed. The barcode scanner on one side of the component moves on the outside of the guide rail to scan the tire. In addition, the identification mechanism in the middle of the power roller line identifies the basic information of the tire and takes pictures through the area scan camera component. After algorithm analysis, the system makes a judgment and then selects to release or alarm according to the detection standard.

[0015] 2. A centering clamping assembly is provided. When the centering clamping assembly is in operation, the drive motor drives the rotating disk to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to move the connecting plate.

The area scan camera assembly 3 is located above the light shield 4, and scans the tires using the area scan camera assembly 3. After taking photos and obtaining tire information, the algorithm analyzes the data to determine whether the tires are qualified. In addition, a centering clamping component 2 is set at the bottom of the light shield box 4. The centering clamping component 2 limits the tires inside the light shield box 4 to facilitate the subsequent photo processing by the area scan camera component 3. An identification mechanism is installed in the middle of the power roller line 1. The identification mechanism can identify the basic information of the tires. The area scan camera component 3 includes a guide rail 301 fixed to the upper end of the light shield box 4. A slider 302 is slidably set on the outer side of the guide rail 301. The slider 302 is driven by an electric push rod. The area scan camera body 303 is fixed below the slider 302.

[0026] First, the vehicle is stacked in the air to a designated position and scanned by the barcode scanning component 5 to obtain feature values ​​and production formulas from the MES system, including wheel model, tire brand, and tire specification standard values. Then, the tire is conveyed to the middle position of the powered roller conveyor 1, where the identification mechanism can identify the basic tire information. The powered roller conveyor 1 continues to convey the tire into the light shield box 4, where the centering clamping component 2 performs initial positioning of the tire. The area array camera component 3 takes pictures to obtain the tire information. After algorithm analysis, a judgment is made, and then the vehicle is either released or alarmed according to the detection standards. The tire is then conveyed through the powered roller conveyor 1. After all four tires have been inspected, the vehicle awaits the next vehicle. Example

[0027] To address the issue that current tire specification inspection devices on the market require scanning the tire during inspection, but this can lead to tire misalignment during transport by the conveyor rollers, please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The centering clamping assembly 2 includes a drive motor 201 fixed at the bottom of the light-shielding box 4.

The inner sides of the other two sets of connecting plates 204 are connected to the disk via guide telescopic rods 206. The upper end of the clamping rod 205 passes through the roller inside the power roller line 1, and the two sets of clamping rods 205 form a relative sliding structure with respect to the upper inner side of the connecting plate 204 and the power roller line 1. The outer side of the clamping rod 205 is attached to the side of the tire, and the connecting plate 204 is slidably set at the bottom outer side of the light-shielding box 4.

[0028] After the tire moves into the interior of the sunshade box 4, the drive motor 201 is started, which drives the rotating disk 202 to rotate. The connecting rod 203 connected to the edge of the rotating disk 202 can drive the connecting plate 204 and the clamping rod 205 to slide between the rollers of the power roller line 1. In addition, the connecting plate 204 will be guided by the guide telescopic rod 206, so that the clamping rod 205 can limit the position of the car tire, which facilitates the detection work of the area array camera assembly 3.
