[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Compared with the common detection mechanism, the key point of the application is to detect a limited number of non-standard parts, and the conventional detection quantity is within 100 pieces / time. The application is mainly aimed at miniature metal bellows, and the classification is realized by analyzing and detecting the mature internal endoscopic detection mechanism.

[0038] In the application, the control system 7 is an existing scheme, and there are many optional schemes. The working principle is that the detection result is obtained, and the signal is output to the blanking cylinder 52 and the holding cylinder 32.

The working group, the control system 7 can use the commonly used circuit structure, which is not described in detail in the application.

[0039] Based on the requirements in the above background, the application proposes a semi-automatic endoscopic detection device, mainly including three parts, respectively: conveying assembly 2, positioning assembly 3, control system 7, and endoscopic assembly 4, as shown in the figure, the positioning assembly 3 is preferentially arranged at the end of the conveying assembly 2, and the endoscopic detection of the to-be-detected metal pipe is performed from both sides when the to-be-detected metal pipe is conveyed to the detection interval, the endoscopic assembly 4 is installed on one side of the conveying assembly 2, and the endoscopic assembly 4 detects the inside of the to-be-detected metal pipe.
