[0010] Further, the driving unit is installed on one side of the detection support, and the second sensor can be extended to the side of the spring hook to be detected under the driving of the driving unit.

[0011] Further, the first sensor and the second sensor are infrared sensors or visual sensors.

[0012] The detection driving member is used to drive the detection top pressing rod to move up and down so as to press the spring hook short section, the first sensor is installed on the detection support and located above the clamping device, and is used to detect whether the spring hook can be pressed open and whether it can be reset, the driving unit can drive the second sensor to move linearly and reciprocally, so that when the second sensor is in the detection state, the driving unit extends the second sensor to one side of the rotating disc clamping device, so that the second sensor is located on one side of the spring hook and is used to detect whether the short section and the long section are left-right deviated, and when the second sensor is in the non-detection state, the driving unit retracts the second sensor to the outside of the rotating disc to avoid interfering with the rotation of the rotating disc.

[0013] The spring hook detection device provided by the embodiment of the application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The application can realize full-automatic and comprehensive detection of the spring hook, detect the deviation of the spring hook and the opening and resetting of the short section through the detection device, so as to facilitate subsequent targeted correction, improve production efficiency, guarantee product quality and reduce the waste rate.
