[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a device for detecting whether the assembly of wheel hub decorative parts and copper inlays is qualified, including:

[0034] Base 100;

[0035] Gripper 200 is used to grip the workpiece 300 to be tested;

[0036] The three-axis moving assembly 400 connects the base 100 and the gripper 200 and is used to drive the gripper 200 to move along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.

[0037] The test piece support assembly 500 includes a support member 510 and a first bracket 520 disposed above the base 100. The top of the support member 510 is provided with a contoured groove 511 for accommodating the test piece 300. The support member 510 is provided with a plurality of through holes 512, and the through holes 512 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the copper inlay 310. The first bracket 520 is connected between the support member 510 and the base 100.

[0038] The detection assembly 600 includes a lifting component 610 (e.g., an electric cylinder), a detection plate 620, multiple probe groups 630, and a second bracket 640; the second bracket 640 is connected between the base 100 and the lifting component 610. The detection plate 620 is connected to the top of the lifting component 610, and the lifting component 610 drives the detection plate 620 to move up and down; the detection plate 620 is insulated; the probe groups 630 are arranged one-to-one with the copper inserts 310; each probe group 630 includes two probes 631, which are connected to the detection plate 620, with their top and bottom ends extending above and below the detection plate 620, respectively; the probes 631 are used to conduct electricity to the copper inserts 310. The two probes 631 are respectively connected to the common 0V and 5V voltage outputs of the driver at the signal input terminal; when both probes 631 contact the copper inserts 310, a current loop is formed, so that the driver can receive the conducting current signal.

[0039] Since the wheel hub trim (i.e., the test piece 300) is made of plastic, while the copper inlay 310 is made of copper, this application provides a three-axis moving assembly 400, a gripper 200, and a test piece support assembly 500 to detect whether the copper inlay 310 is assembled on the wheel hub trim. The three-axis moving assembly 400 drives the gripper 200 to move along three axes to grip the test piece 300 and place it in the contour groove 511 of the test piece support assembly 500. This application also provides a detection assembly 600. After the lifting component 610 of the detection assembly 600 drives the detection plate 620 and the probe 631 to rise, the two probes 631 can contact the copper inlay 310. If the copper inlay 310 is assembled on the wheel hub trim, the probes 631 can conduct through the copper inlay 310; if the copper inlay 310 is not assembled on the wheel hub trim, the probes 631 cannot conduct through the copper inlay 310. Therefore, this application can determine whether the copper insert 310 is assembled on the wheel hub trim by whether the probe 631 is connected to the copper insert 310, so as to detect defective products in time and process them in time, thereby improving the pass rate of wheel hub trim.

[0040] Further, the present application further includes a control component (not shown in the figure), and the control component is electrically connected to the three-axis moving component 400, the gripper 200, and the detection component 600. Specifically, in this embodiment, the control component can achieve linkage, so as to perform full-automatic detection.

[0041] Further, the gripper 200, the test piece support component 500, and the detection component 600 are respectively two; the gripper 200, the test piece support component 500, and the detection component 600 are correspondingly arranged to form a set of detection components. It can be seen that there are two detection components in this embodiment, so that two test pieces 300 can be detected at one time, and the detection efficiency is high. In some embodiments, the three-axis moving component 400 can be one (that is, one three-axis moving component 400 can realize the three-axis moving function of two detection components). Of course, the three-axis moving component 400 can also be two, and one three-axis moving component 400 corresponds to one detection component, so that the two three-axis moving components 400 respectively drive the corresponding detection components to move in three axes.

[0042] Further, the present application further includes a sensor 530 for identifying whether the test piece 300 is placed in the profiling groove 511; the sensor 530 is arranged on the support member 510, and the sensor 530 is electrically connected to the control component. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sensor 530 can identify whether the test piece 300 is placed in the device, and then it is convenient to perform automatic detection.

[0043] Furthermore, the three-axis moving assembly 400 includes a first moving component for driving the gripper 200 to move along the Y-axis; the first moving component includes a first power unit 410, a lead screw 420, a lead screw nut 430, and a guide rod 440. The first power unit 410 is connected to the base 100, and the output end of the first power unit 410 is connected to the lead screw 420, and the first power unit 410 is used to drive the lead screw 420 to rotate; both ends of the lead screw 420 are rotatably connected to the base 100, and the lead screw nut 430 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 420; the guide rod 440 is arranged parallel to the lead screw 420, and the guide rod 440 is slidably connected to the lead screw nut 430; the gripper 200 is connected to the lead screw nut 430. The three-axis moving assembly 400 also includes a second moving component 450 connected to the lead screw nut 430; in some embodiments, the lead screw nut 430 and the second moving component 450 are connected by a connector 460. The output end of the second moving component 450 is connected to the gripper 200, and the output end of the second moving component 450 drives the gripper 200 to move along the X-axis. The three-axis moving assembly 400 also includes a third moving component 470 for driving the gripper 200 to move up and down along the Z-axis; the third moving component 470 is connected to the output end of the second moving component 450, and the output end of the third moving component 470 is connected to the gripper 200. In some embodiments, the second moving component 450 and the third moving component 470 can be an electric cylinder or a linear guide, etc. Specifically, this embodiment has a simple structure and stable and reliable operation.

[0044] Furthermore, the top of the base 100 is provided with a storage area 110 for storing defective products. In some embodiments, the storage area 110 is formed by a downward recess from the upper surface of the base 100. Specifically, this application facilitates the collection of defective products and then facilitates centralized processing.

[0045] Furthermore, the side wall of the support member 510 is provided with a clearance groove 513 for avoiding the gripper 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the clearance groove 513 is provided so that the gripper 200 can release the test piece 300 after placing it completely in the contour groove 511, thereby protecting the test piece 300.

[0046] Furthermore, the gripper 200 is an electric gripper 200.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
