Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polyolefin pipe production technology, specifically to a device for real-time monitoring of the appearance of polyolefin pipes based on grating interference. Background Technology

[0002] For manufacturing companies, the appearance of a product is of paramount importance, an essential part of quality control, no less so than the product's performance. To a large extent, the first impression a product's appearance makes on consumers directly influences their acceptance of the product and their subsequent purchasing decisions.

[0003] However, in current continuous extrusion production of polyolefin pipes, the methods for visual inspection of the pipes are very traditional, often relying on manual, intermittent sampling and visual inspection to judge the finished pipes within a certain time period. This sampling inspection method has a significant risk of missed inspections. Judging the appearance of products based on individual visual inspection is prone to large human errors and cannot achieve standardized inspection. Furthermore, if a quality problem is found in the pipes at a certain point in the sampling process, it may be necessary to unpack and re-inspect the previous packages, which consumes labor and time costs and does not allow production operators to make timely and effective adjustments to the production process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a device for real-time monitoring of the appearance of polyolefin pipes based on grating interference. This device has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can perform all-round, full-time inspection of the appearance of polyolefin pipes with high accuracy. It can also adjust the production process in a timely manner, significantly reducing the production of defective products, saving manpower, and lowering costs.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A device for real-time monitoring of the appearance of polyolefin pipes based on grating interference includes a frame, a dark box, a support and guide mechanism, and a grating detection mechanism.

The grating detection mechanism includes a grating support, a grating cylinder, and a grating. The grating cylinder is mounted in the dark box through the grating support. There are multiple pairs of gratings, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the grating cylinder. The grating includes a light-emitting component and a signal-receiving component. Each pair of light-emitting components and signal-receiving components are respectively mounted on the inner wall of the grating cylinder, and the light-emitting components and signal-receiving components are distributed along the axial direction of the grating cylinder. The two support and guide mechanisms are symmetrically arranged about the grating cylinder, and the two support and guide mechanisms are located outside the two ends of the grating cylinder. The two support and guide mechanisms and the grating cylinder are linearly distributed along the direction of movement of the polyolefin pipe.

[0007] The supporting and guiding mechanism includes a lifting bracket and a guide roller. The guide roller is a V-shaped roller and includes a roller body and a roller shaft. The roller body is rotatably mounted on the roller shaft. The roller shaft is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the polyolefin pipe and is horizontally set.

[0010] The aforementioned dark box includes a dark box body with an open top and a dark box cover. The dark box cover covers the open top of the dark box body and forms a closed space with the dark box body.

[0011] The main body of the dark box is square, and the cross-section of the cover is arc-shaped. The cover and the main body are hinged together by a hinge.

[0012] The bottom of the dark box cover is provided with a sealing and light-blocking strip, and a handle is provided on the side of the dark box cover facing away from the hinge.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] The structure of the device for real-time monitoring of the appearance of polyolefin pipes based on grating interferometry provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a frame, a dark box, a support and guidance mechanism, and a grating detection mechanism.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the darkroom includes a darkroom body 1 with an open top and a darkroom lid 2. The darkroom body 1 is square, and the darkroom lid 2 has an arched cross-section. One side of the darkroom lid 2 is hinged to the top of the darkroom body 1, and the darkroom lid 2 closes onto the open side of the darkroom body 1, forming a closed dark space. A handle 4 is provided on the other side of the darkroom lid 2, allowing it to be easily opened. A black sealing light-shielding strip 5 is attached to the bottom of the darkroom lid 2 to prevent external light sources from affecting the grating detection.

[0025] Symmetrical perforations are provided on both sides of the main body 1 of the darkroom, and soft rubber gaskets 6 are fixed to each perforation by bolts. The perforations are partially sealed by black soft rubber gaskets 6, with only a center hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the polyolefin pipe left on the black soft rubber gaskets 6. When the polyolefin pipe 18 passes through the black soft rubber gaskets 6 into the darkroom, the black soft rubber gaskets 6 can effectively block light.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame includes four support legs 7 and four adjusting feet 8. The four support legs 7 are arranged in a square shape, and their upper ends are welded to or riveted to the four corners of the bottom of the dark box body 1. The lower outer sides of the four support legs 7 are each provided with horizontally arranged connecting lugs 9. The four connecting lugs 9 are arranged in a square shape, and the four adjusting feet 8 pass through the four connecting lugs 9 and are threadedly connected to the four connecting lugs 9. The height of the support legs 7 is adjusted by the cooperation of the adjusting feet 8 and the connecting lugs 9.

[0027] The grating inspection mechanism includes a grating support, a grating cylinder 15, and a grating. The grating support includes four second support rods 14, which are arranged in a square pattern. The lower ends of the four second support rods 14 are fixed to the bottom of the dark box body 1. The upper ends of two of the second support rods 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of one end of the grating cylinder 15, and the upper ends of the other two second support rods 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the other end of the grating cylinder 15. The grating cylinder 15 is supported and fixed by the grating support, making the grating cylinder 15 coaxial with the polyolefin pipe 18.

[0028] There are six pairs of gratings, evenly distributed along the circumference of the grating cylinder. The grating includes a light-emitting component 16, a signal-receiving component 17, and a controller. Each pair of light-emitting components 16 and signal-receiving components 17 is mounted on the inner wall of the grating cylinder 15, and they are distributed along the axial direction of the grating cylinder 15. The light-emitting component 16 contains a light source and a condenser lens. The condenser lens converts the radial light emitted by the light source into parallel light, which illuminates the polyolefin pipe located at the center of the grating cylinder 15. After reflection from the surface of the polyolefin pipe 18, the light is received by the signal-receiving component 17. The signal-receiving component 17 is connected to the controller via wires. An internal sensor in the signal-receiving component 17 displays the interference image formed by the reflected light on the controller. The controller's software algorithm identifies the interference image; if significant distortion or warping occurs, an alarm indicator light illuminates, triggering a visual defect alarm.

[0029] The structure and principle of the grating here are similar to the defect detection system disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent "A Defect Detection System and Defect Detection Method" (patent number 202010146627.3), in which the light-emitting component 16 is equivalent to the light source module and beam splitting module, and the receiving component is equivalent to the detection module.

[0030] There are two support and guide mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged about the grating cylinder. The two support and guide mechanisms are located outside the two ports of the grating cylinder 15, and the two support and guide mechanisms and the grating cylinder 15 are distributed in a straight line along the direction of movement of the polyolefin pipe 18.

[0031] The supporting and guiding mechanism includes a lifting bracket and guide rollers, which are V-shaped rollers. Each guide roller includes a roller body 11 and a roller shaft 12, with the roller body 11 mounted on the roller shaft 12 via bearings. The roller shaft 11 is horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the polyolefin pipe 18. The lifting bracket includes a pair of first supporting vertical rods 10, the lower ends of which are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the dark box body 1. Multiple pairs of mounting holes 13 are symmetrically provided on each pair of first supporting vertical rods 10, distributed sequentially along the vertical direction. The two ends of the roller shaft 11 are respectively engaged with the corresponding pair of mounting holes 13. The height of the guide rollers can be adjusted using the lifting bracket. Adjusting the height of the two guide rollers ensures that the axis of the polyolefin pipe 18 is aligned with the axis of the grating cylinder, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of grating detection.
