[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0033] This embodiment provides a lifting and rotating mechanism, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 5The system includes a lifting assembly and a rotating assembly. The lifting assembly includes an electric cylinder 111 and a first mounting plate 112A. A first connecting member 113A is connected to the top of the lead screw of the electric cylinder 111, and the left side of the first connecting member 113A is connected to the first mounting plate 112A. When the electric cylinder 111 drives the lead screw to lift, the first connecting member 113A, connected to its output end, drives the first mounting plate 112A to perform the lifting action. A second connecting member 113B is mounted on the left side of the first mounting plate 112A and is sleeved on the rotating assembly. When the first mounting plate 112A lifts, the second connecting member 113B can drive the rotating assembly to lift along with the first mounting plate 112A.

[0034] The rotating assembly includes a motor 121 and a rotating shaft 122. The rotating shaft 122 is connected to the output end of the motor 121, and the motor 121 drives the rotating shaft 122 to rotate. Furthermore, the rotating assembly is equipped with a proximity switch 123. When the motor 121 stops rotating, the proximity switch 123 detects whether the rotating shaft 122 has rotated to the correct position. If it has, the proximity switch 123 sends a signal to the PLC control module (not shown in the figure) to continue executing the next instruction. If it has not rotated to the correct position, the proximity switch 123 will not send a signal, and the instruction cannot be executed. In this embodiment, the electric cylinder 111 can be a parallel electric cylinder to drive the lifting motion, and the motor 121 can be a servo motor to drive the rotational motion. In actual industrial manufacturing, the types are not limited to these; other types can also be used, as long as they can achieve their corresponding functions.

[0035] As one example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a reducer 124 is mounted above the motor 121. The second connecting piece 113B is sleeved on the outside of the reducer 124 to connect the lifting assembly and the rotating assembly. The end of the reducer 124 furthest from the motor is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 122 via a coupling 125 or a key. Alternatively, a key can be fixedly connected to the coupling 125 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 122 to achieve transmission. It should be noted that the output end of the motor 121 is connected to the input end of the reducer 124, and the output end of the reducer 124 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 122 closest to the motor 121 via a coupling 125 and / or a key, thereby enabling the motor 121 to drive the rotating shaft 122 to rotate.

[0036] Above the second connector 113B, a first support 126A is sleeved on the outside of the coupling 125. A second support 126B is connected above the first support 126A. The end of the rotating shaft 122 near the motor 121 is inserted into the second support 126B through a bearing and can rotate relative to the second support 126B. In addition, an end cap is installed on the upper part of the second support 126B to protect the shaft end.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second support base 126B is further provided with a third connector 127 for mounting the proximity switch 123, and the rotating shaft 122 is further provided with a sensing pin 128 opposite to the proximity switch 123. When the motor 121 drives the rotating shaft 122 to rotate, the sensing pin 128 will rotate along with the rotating shaft 122. When the motor 121 drives the rotating shaft 122 to return to its original position, the motor 121 will stop rotating after completing the rotation angle, and the rotating shaft 122 and the sensing pin 128 will also stop. At this time, when the proximity switch 123 detects the sensing pin 128 within the sensing range, the proximity switch 123 will send a signal to the PLC control module to continue executing the next instruction; if the sensing pin 128 does not reach the sensing distance of the proximity switch 123 when rotating with the rotating shaft 122, the proximity switch 123 will not send a signal, and the instruction cannot continue to be executed, thereby realizing the verification of the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 122. In addition, a rotating plate 129 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 122 away from the motor 121, which is used to support the test piece or workpiece.

[0038] It should be noted that the proximity switch 123 can be an inductive proximity sensor, and the sensing pin 128 can be made of metal. The proximity switch 123 uses the metal composition of the sensing pin 128 to detect the approach of a metal object by changing the electromagnetic field of the sensor. In practical applications, the proximity switch 123 and the sensing pin 128 can also be made of other devices or materials that can achieve the same function.

[0039] The lifting and rotating mechanism provided in this embodiment, driven by the electric cylinder of the lifting component, causes the rotating component to rise and fall together with the first mounting plate and the second connecting piece. When the rotating component motor drives the rotating shaft to stop rotating, a proximity switch and a corresponding sensing pin are provided. The proximity switch can detect the sensing pin within its sensing range by sending or not sending a signal to continue executing or interrupt the command, thereby realizing the function of detecting the rotating shaft to be rotated into place and improving the safety of the device operation. Example 2

[0040] This embodiment provides a visual inspection device, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base frame 2, a conveying mechanism 3 mounted on the base frame 2, a visual inspection mechanism 4 mounted above the conveying mechanism 3, and a lifting and rotating mechanism 1 as provided in Embodiment 1; wherein, the conveying mechanism 3 is used to convey the workpiece 5 to be tested, the visual inspection mechanism 4 is used to perform visual inspection on the workpiece 5 to be tested, and the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 is located below the conveying mechanism 3 and is used to lift and rotate the workpiece 5 to be tested in order to adjust the position and posture of the workpiece 5 on the conveying mechanism 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the conveying mechanism 3 includes two parallel conveying frames 31, a tray 32, and a tray movement control assembly that controls the movement of the tray 32. Supports are provided at one end and the middle of each conveying frame 31 to fix the conveying mechanism 3 to the base frame 2. The tray 32, carrying the test piece 5, is placed on the conveying frame 31 and moved from right to left by the conveying frame 31. The tray movement control assembly includes a sensor 331 located at the other end of the conveying frame 31, which sends a signal to the PLC control module when it senses that the tray 32 on the conveying frame 31 is carrying the test piece 5. The pallet travel control assembly also includes a stop cylinder 332 disposed inside the conveyor frame 31 and a pallet position detector disposed outside the transmission frame 31. The pallet position detector is used to detect when a pallet 32 ​​is being conveyed on the conveyor frame 31 and after the pallet 32 ​​reaches the pre-lifted designated position, it sends a signal to the PLC control module to continue executing the next instruction. The stop cylinder 332 is always in the stop state. When the pallet 32 ​​is not carrying the test piece 5, the PLC control module only controls the stop cylinder 332 to release the pallet 32 ​​according to the signal from the pallet position detector. When the pallet 32 ​​carries the test piece 5, the PLC control module controls the stop cylinder 332 to continue to stop the pallet 32 ​​according to the signals from the sensor 331 and the pallet position detector.

[0042] In this embodiment, sensor 331 is a reflective photoelectric sensor, which may include an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, respectively disposed on both sides of the conveying frame 31. When the tray 32 on the conveying frame 31 carries the test piece 5, part of the signal emitted by the transmitter is reflected by the test piece 5 and cannot be received by the receiver. The receiver sends a signal to the PLC control module based on the strength of the received signal. It should be noted that sensor 331 may also be an ultrasonic sensor, or a sensor with an integrated transmitter and receiver, or other sensors with the same detection function.

[0043] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each side of the tray 32 has a positioning hole 321 on its left side. The rotating plate 129 has a positioning pin 1291 that is inserted into the positioning hole 321 to fix the tray 32 for smooth lifting and rotation operations. The rotating plate 129 also has a contact pin 1292 that contacts the bottom of the tray 32 to provide support for the tray 32. When the tray 32 is stopped by the stop cylinder 332, the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 begins to lift, and the rotating plate 129 in the rotating assembly also rises together. When the rotating plate 129 rises to a certain height, the positioning pin 1291 and the contact pin 1292 connect the tray 32, and the tray 32, together with the fixed test piece 5, is lifted up.

[0044] Furthermore, a hole can be provided on the base frame 2 below the conveyor frame 31 to facilitate the lifting and rotation of the tray 32 by the rotating plate 129 passing through the hole. The tray 32 can be provided with a fixing member for mounting the test piece 5; the fixing member can be an octagonal prism with a hole in the center for mounting the test piece 5. In addition, a groove can be provided in front of the positioning hole 321 to allow the stop cylinder 332 to pass through, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 The stop cylinder 332 is located on the left side of the conveyor frame 31. Therefore, when the tray 32 moves from right to left, after the side with the groove on the left side of the tray 32 passes the stop cylinder 332, the other side will be stopped by the stop cylinder 332.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the lifting assembly of the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 also includes second mounting plates 112B arranged parallel to both sides of the electric cylinder 111. One end of each second mounting plate 112B is connected to the first mounting plate 112A, and the other end is provided with a guide rail 114. A slider 115 is provided on the guide rail 114 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 114. The slider 115 is fixedly connected to the third support base 116, which is installed below the base frame 2. Therefore, when the electric cylinder 111 drives the first connecting member 113A to move, the slider 115 remains stationary, while the guide rail 114 moves up and down, thereby driving the rotating assembly to move up and down together. In addition, the electric cylinder 111 is also fixedly connected to the third support base 116 through the third mounting plate 112C, thereby fixing the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 and suspending it below the base frame 2.

[0046] In one embodiment, the visual inspection mechanism 4 includes fixed columns 41 placed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 3, sliding components 42, and two scanners 43. The sliding components 42 are mounted on the fixed columns 41 and include two parallel X-axis sliding components and a Y-axis sliding component connected between the two X-axis sliding components. The scanners 43, under the movement control of the sliding components 42, can scan the workpiece 5 conveyed on the conveying mechanism 3. The principle is that a cylindrical objective lens diffuses the laser light into a line laser, which is then projected onto the surface of the workpiece 5 to form diffuse reflection. The reflected light is then imaged on a CMOS sensor, and displacement and shape are measured by detecting changes in position and shape. Specifically, the visual inspection mechanism 4 can control the movement position of the scanners 43 through the X-axis and Y-axis sliding components, enabling the scanners 43 to scan workpieces 5 of different sizes.

[0047] The following is combined Figure 2 and Figure 5The working principle of the visual inspection device provided in this embodiment is explained as follows: The workpiece 5 to be tested is placed in the tray 32 and fixed, and then the tray 32 is placed on the conveying frame 31 so that it begins to be conveyed from left to right; when the tray 32 moves into the sensing range of the sensor 331, the sensor 331 sends a signal to the PLC control module through the intensity of the sensing signal; when the tray 32 moves to the pre-lifted designated position, the tray position detector sends a signal to the PLC control module to continue to execute the next instruction, and the PLC control module controls the stop cylinder 332 to continue to stop the tray 32 according to the signals of the sensor 331 and the tray position detector.

[0048] At this time, the PLC control module controls the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 to start lifting. The electric cylinder 111 drives the lead screw and the first connecting piece 113A to rise. The guide rail 114 moves upward through the slider 115. The first mounting plate 112A and the second mounting plate 112B also rise. The rotating assembly rises together through the second connecting piece 113B. When the rotating plate 129 rises to a certain height, the positioning pin 1291 is inserted into the positioning hole 321, and the contact pin 1292 contacts the bottom of the tray 32. The tray 32 and the fixed test piece 5 are lifted together to a certain height. Then, the visual inspection mechanism 4 drives the sliding assembly 42 to position the scanner 43 above the test piece 5 for the first scan inspection.

[0049] After the first scan is completed, the servo motor controller controls the motor 121 in the rotating assembly to work, which drives the rotating shaft 122 to rotate by a specified angle through the reducer 124 and coupling 125; the vision inspection mechanism 4 performs a second scan to eliminate scanning blind spots.

[0050] After the second scan is completed, when the rotating plate 129 and the tray 32 return to their initial state via the motor 121, the motor 121 will stop rotating after completing the rotation angle, and the rotating shaft 122 and the sensing pin 128 will also stop. At this time, when the proximity switch 123 detects the sensing pin 128 within its sensing range, the proximity switch 123 will send a signal to the PLC control module, thereby continuing to execute the next instruction. Then, the lifting assembly will place the tray 32 on the conveying frame 31, and the lifting and rotating mechanism 1 will descend to its original position. Finally, the PLC control module will control the stop cylinder 332 to release the tray 32, allowing it to continue moving to the right.

[0051] The visual inspection device provided in this embodiment uses a lifting and rotating mechanism to lift and rotate the workpiece under test, adjusting its position on the conveying mechanism. This facilitates a secondary scan of the workpiece by the visual inspection mechanism, filling in any missing areas from the first scan, reducing blind spots, and improving inspection efficiency. Furthermore, the lifting and rotating mechanism, equipped with a proximity switch, can detect when the rotating shaft has reached its designated position, enhancing operational safety. The visual inspection mechanism with a sliding component can move in multiple directions above the workpiece for scanning, adapting to workpieces of different sizes, offering strong versatility, and enabling flexible inspection. Besides its application in automated assembly inspection, such as detecting the quality and volume of adhesive application or the height and volume of solder joints, this embodiment can also be applied to other testing or measurement systems.
