Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a finished product testing device. Background Technology

[0002] After drilling through-holes into the wall of a tubular workpiece, the quality of the drilling process needs to be inspected to ensure that the finished product meets the standards. Traditionally, operators inspect the holes visually or using measuring tools, but manual inspection is often inefficient and prone to errors.

[0003] With the continuous development of technology, automated inspection equipment is gradually being applied to the inspection of pipe fittings after drilling. In the existing technology, image acquisition and processing technology is used to inspect finished products, which can effectively improve inspection efficiency and accuracy. However, in actual inspection operations, it is usually necessary to use two sets of image inspection equipment to inspect both sides of the finished product, or to design a related structure so that one set of image inspection equipment can inspect both sides separately, which makes the overall structure more complex and limits the inspection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a finished product testing device, which solves the technical problem of how to improve testing efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model provides a finished product inspection device, comprising: a transmission mechanism for conveying the pipe fitting along a first horizontal direction, wherein the perforation of the pipe fitting on the transmission mechanism faces a second horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction being perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; a positioning mechanism including a positioning rod movably disposed above the transmission mechanism, the positioning rod being used to descend and extend into the pipe fitting along its axial direction when the pipe fitting on the transmission mechanism is conveyed to a position where it is vertically opposite to the positioning rod, thereby positioning the pipe fitting on the transmission mechanism; and a detection mechanism including a detection rod capable of moving along the second horizontal direction; when the positioning rod extends into the pipe fitting, the detection rod faces the perforation and moves along the side closest to the perforation to detect the perforation.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the positioning rod is provided with clearance holes that penetrate both sides of the positioning rod in the second horizontal direction. When the positioning rod positions the pipe on the transmission mechanism, the clearance holes correspond and match the through holes.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the finished product testing device further includes a first track, a second track, a first unloading mechanism, and a second unloading mechanism; the first track and the second track are located on the same side of the transmission mechanism in the second horizontal direction, and both are used to connect the transmission mechanism to the outside; the first unloading mechanism is used to drive the pipe fittings that have been determined to be qualified products to fall into the first track, and the second unloading mechanism is used to drive the pipe fittings that have been determined to be unqualified products to fall into the second track.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission mechanism has a plurality of workstations arranged side by side in the first horizontal direction, and the workstations are connected to each other. The workstation that is vertically opposite to the positioning rod is a detection workstation. The first track is connected to the last workstation in the first horizontal direction, and the second track is connected to the next workstation adjacent to the detection workstation. The second track and the detection mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the transmission mechanism in the second horizontal direction.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the first unloading mechanism and the first track are respectively disposed on both sides of the transmission mechanism in the second horizontal direction. The first unloading mechanism includes a first driving member and a first push rod. The first driving member is used to drive the first push rod to push the pipe on the last station toward the first track. The second unloading mechanism and the second track are disposed on the same side of the transmission mechanism in the second horizontal direction. The second unloading mechanism includes a second driving member and a second push rod. The second driving member is used to drive the second push rod to bring the pipe of the next station adjacent to the detection station out of the transmission mechanism and make the pipe fall into the second track.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the finished product testing device further includes a feeding mechanism, which is arranged sequentially with the transmission mechanism in the first horizontal direction. The feeding mechanism is used to hold the pipe fitting, and the transmission mechanism is used to carry the pipe fitting on the feeding mechanism and continuously transport the pipe fitting forward.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder and a feeding track. The vibratory feeder is used to hold the pipe fitting, and the feeding track is used to receive the pipe fitting shaken off by the vibratory feeder. The transmission mechanism includes a transfer member and a transmission track. The transfer member is used to transfer the pipe fitting on the feeding track to the transmission track.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the transfer member includes a first moving member and a second moving member respectively disposed on both sides of the transmission track in the second horizontal direction. The first moving member can move along the second horizontal direction, and the second moving member can move along the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction. The second moving member is provided with a receiving groove.

[0014] The first moving member is used to receive the tube delivered from one end of the feeding track and drive the tube into the receiving groove from the second horizontal direction. The second moving member drives the tube to move in the first horizontal direction and enter the transmission track.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0016] In the finished product inspection device of this utility model embodiment, the transport mechanism is used to transport pipe fittings. On the one hand, it can drive uninspected pipe fittings for inspection; on the other hand, it can drive inspected pipe fittings to continue forward transport. When the pipe fitting is transported on the transport mechanism to a position where it is vertically aligned with the positioning rod, the positioning rod positions the pipe fitting on the transport mechanism, ensuring stable and accurate subsequent inspection. After the positioning rod extends into the pipe fitting and accurately positions it, the inspection rod begins inspection preparation. Since the perforation faces the second horizontal direction, the inspection rod can move along the second horizontal direction. Ideally, the inspection rod, facing the perforation and moving along the side closest to the perforation, can completely pass through the perforations on both sides of the pipe fitting. Under this ideal condition, the inspected pipe fitting can be determined to be a qualified product. If the inspection rod experiences resistance or cannot move further during its movement, it indicates that there is a deviation in the perforation processing of the pipe fitting, and the inspected pipe fitting is a defective product. Therefore, through the cooperation between the transportation mechanism, positioning mechanism and testing mechanism, a large number of pipe fittings can be tested in a short time. Moreover, only one testing mechanism is needed to test the processing quality of the perforations on both sides of the pipe fitting. This eliminates the problem of complex structure caused by setting up multiple testing structures or requiring the same structure to test from both sides of the pipe fitting separately. This simplifies the structure of the finished product testing device and improves the testing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Although the present invention can be readily embodied in various forms, only some specific embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings and will be described in detail in this specification. It is understood that this specification should be regarded as an exemplary illustration of the principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention to what is described herein.

[0030] Therefore, a feature pointed out in this specification is used to describe one feature of one embodiment of the present invention, and does not imply that every embodiment of the present invention must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly stated. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0031] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various elements of this invention are relative rather than absolute. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a finished product testing device for testing a pipe fitting 4. The pipe fitting 4 has a through hole 41 penetrating both sides of the pipe fitting 4. The finished product testing device includes a transmission mechanism 1, a positioning mechanism 2, and a testing mechanism 3. The transmission mechanism 1 is used to transport the pipe fitting 4 along a first horizontal direction D1, and the through hole 41 of the pipe fitting 4 on the transmission mechanism 1 faces a second horizontal direction D2, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1. The positioning mechanism 2 includes a positioning rod 21 that is vertically mounted above the transmission mechanism 1. The positioning rod 21 is used to descend and extend into the pipe fitting 4 along its axial direction when the pipe fitting 4 on the transmission mechanism 1 is transported to a position where it is vertically opposite to the positioning rod 21, thereby positioning the pipe fitting 4 on the transmission mechanism 1. The testing mechanism 3 includes a testing rod 31 that is movable along the second horizontal direction D2. When the positioning rod 21 extends into the pipe fitting 4, the testing rod 31 faces the through hole 41 and moves along the side closest to the through hole 41 to test the through hole 41.

[0033] In the finished product inspection device of this utility model embodiment, the transport mechanism is used to transport the pipe fittings 4. On the one hand, it can drive the uninspected pipe fittings 4 to be inspected, and on the other hand, it can drive the inspected ones to continue to be transported forward. When the pipe fitting 4 is transported on the transport mechanism 1 to a position where it is vertically aligned with the positioning rod 21, the positioning rod 21 positions the pipe fitting 4 on the transport mechanism 1, ensuring that the subsequent inspection can be carried out stably and accurately. After the positioning rod 21 extends into the pipe fitting 4 and accurately positions the pipe fitting 4, the detection rod 31 begins to prepare for inspection. Since the perforation 41 faces the second horizontal direction D2, the detection rod 31 can move along the second horizontal direction D2. Ideally, the process of the detection rod 31 facing the perforation 41 and moving along the side close to the perforation 41 can completely pass through the perforations 41 on both sides of the pipe fitting 4. Under this ideal condition, the inspected pipe fitting 4 can be determined to be a qualified product. If the detection rod 31 experiences resistance or cannot continue to move during the movement, it indicates that there is a deviation in the processing of the perforation 41 of the pipe fitting 4, and the inspected pipe fitting 4 is a defective product. Therefore, through the cooperation between the transportation mechanism, the positioning mechanism 2 and the inspection mechanism 3, a large number of pipe fittings 4 can be inspected in a short time. Moreover, only one inspection mechanism 3 is needed to inspect the processing quality of the perforations 41 on both sides of the pipe fitting 4. This eliminates the problem of complex structure caused by setting up multiple inspection structures or requiring the same structure to inspect from both sides of the pipe fitting 4 separately. This simplifies the structure of the finished product inspection device and improves the inspection efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figure 2In a specific embodiment, the positioning rod 21 has clearance holes 211 extending through both sides of the positioning rod 21 in the second horizontal direction D2. When the positioning rod 21 positions the pipe 4 on the transmission mechanism 1, the clearance holes 211 correspond and match the through holes 41. The clearance holes 211 provide a detection channel for the detection rod 31 to pass through, preventing the positioning rod 21 from obstructing the detection rod 31 when it moves along the second horizontal direction D2 to detect the through holes 41, thus ensuring the working efficiency and reliability of the finished product detection device.

[0035] It is conceivable that the positioning rod 21 positions the pipe 4 on the transmission mechanism 1. The pipe 4 could be a uniform cylinder, with the positioning rod 21 comprising a first portion extending into the pipe 4 and a second portion connected to the first portion. The second portion is larger than the first portion, and it can press the pipe 4 firmly onto the transmission mechanism 1 to fix the pipe 4. Alternatively, the pipe 4 could comprise a first section and a second section connected together, with the first section being larger than the second section. The positioning rod 21 could also comprise a first portion extending into the first section and a second portion extending into the second section, with the first portion being larger than the second portion. The first portion presses against the end face where the second section connects to the first section, thereby fixing the pipe 4 onto the transmission mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the pipe 4 and positioning rod 21 are configured in the latter manner.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 In a specific embodiment, the finished product inspection device further includes a first track, a second track, a first unloading mechanism 5, and a second unloading mechanism 6 (the first and second tracks are not shown in the drawings). The first and second tracks are located on the same side of the transmission mechanism 1 in the second horizontal direction D2, and both are used to connect the transmission mechanism 1 to the outside. The first unloading mechanism 5 is used to drive the pipe fittings 4 that have been inspected and determined to be qualified products into the first track, and the second unloading mechanism 6 is used to drive the pipe fittings 4 that have been inspected and determined to be unqualified products into the second track.

[0037] The setup of the first track, the second track, the first unloading mechanism 5, and the second unloading mechanism 6 enables the automatic classification of pipe fittings 4 after inspection, avoiding potential errors and mistakes that may be introduced by subsequent unified classification. The first track and the second track are located on the same side of the second horizontal direction D2, which facilitates the observation and control of the collection of qualified and unqualified products by the staff, thus improving convenience.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the transmission mechanism 1 has several stations arranged side-by-side in the first horizontal direction D1, and these stations are interconnected. The station vertically opposite the positioning rod 21 is the inspection station. The first track connects to the last station in the first horizontal direction D1, and the second track connects to the next station adjacent to the inspection station. The second track and the inspection mechanism 3 are respectively located on opposite sides of the transmission mechanism 1 in the second horizontal direction D2. When the pipe fitting 4 passes inspection at the inspection station, it continues to be transported along the transmission mechanism 1 to the last station. If the pipe fitting 4 is determined to be defective at the inspection station, it is transported to the next station adjacent to the inspection station, and then the second unloading mechanism 6 pulls the defective pipe fitting 4 into the second track. This arrangement can promptly separate defective products from the production process, preventing them from continuing to flow on the production line and reducing interference with subsequent processes.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the first unloading mechanism 5 and the first track are respectively located on both sides of the transmission mechanism 1 in the second horizontal direction D2. The first unloading mechanism 5 includes a first driving member 51 and a first push rod 52. The first driving member 51 is used to drive the first push rod 52 to push the pipe fitting 4 at the last station towards the first track. The second unloading mechanism 6 and the second track are located on the same side of the transmission mechanism 1 in the second horizontal direction D2. The second unloading mechanism 6 includes a second driving member 61 and a second push rod 62. The second driving member 61 is used to drive the second push rod 62 to bring the pipe fitting 4 from the next station adjacent to the detection station out of the transmission mechanism 1 and make the pipe fitting 4 fall into the second track.

[0040] The first feeding mechanism 5 and the first track are arranged opposite each other in the second horizontal direction D2. The second feeding mechanism 6 and the second track are arranged on the same side in the second horizontal direction D2, and are located on the opposite side of the detection mechanism 3. This layout not only meets the functional requirements, but also makes reasonable use of space and avoids mutual interference between components, so that the entire finished product detection device can operate efficiently in a limited space.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the finished product testing device further includes a feeding mechanism 7, which is sequentially arranged with the transmission mechanism 1 in the first horizontal direction D1. The feeding mechanism 7 is used to hold the pipe fittings 4, and the transmission mechanism 1 is used to carry the pipe fittings 4 on the feeding mechanism 7 and continuously transport the pipe fittings 4 forward. The cooperation between the feeding mechanism 7 and the transmission mechanism 1 ensures that the pipe fittings 4 can continuously enter the testing process, avoiding the idle time of the testing equipment due to the interruption of the supply of pipe fittings 4, and further improving the testing efficiency.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a vibratory plate 71 and a feeding track 72. The vibratory plate 71 is used to hold the pipe fitting 4, and the feeding track 72 is used to receive the pipe fitting 4 shaken off by the vibratory plate 71. The transmission mechanism 1 includes a transfer member 11 and a transmission track 12. The transfer member 11 is used to transfer the pipe fitting 4 on the feeding track 72 to the transmission track 12.

[0043] The vibratory feeder 71, feeding track 72, transfer component 11, and transmission track 12 work together to form a continuous feeding and transport production line. The vibratory feeder 71 continuously feeds the pipe 4 to the feeding track 72. The transfer component 11 accurately transfers the pipe 4 from the feeding track 72 to the transmission track 12 at a certain rhythm. The transmission track 12 is used to carry the pipe 4 and continuously transport it forward. During the transmission of the pipe 4 on the transmission track 12, the pipe 4 is positioned and detected. The clear division of labor and cooperation between the various components further improves production efficiency.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the transfer member 11 includes a first moving member 111 and a second moving member 112 respectively disposed on both sides of the transfer track 12 in the second horizontal direction D2. The first moving member 111 can move along the second horizontal direction D2, and the second moving member 112 can move along the first horizontal direction D1 and the second horizontal direction D2. The second moving member 112 is provided with a receiving groove. The first moving member 111 is used to receive the tube 4 delivered from one end of the feeding track 72 and drive the tube 4 from the second horizontal direction D2 into the receiving groove. The second moving member 112 drives the tube 4 to move in the first horizontal direction D1 and into the transfer track 12. The coordinated work of the first moving member 111 and the second moving member 112 enables the tube 4 to be accurately positioned and quickly and stably transferred during the transfer process from the feeding track 72 to the transfer track 12, further improving the working efficiency of the finished product testing device. The movement of the second moving member 112 in the second horizontal direction D2 ensures that the tube 4 can be successfully placed on the transfer track 12.

[0045] It is conceivable that in the above embodiments, when the empty spaces of each track are filled by new pipes 4, the pipes 4 in front can be pushed forward, thereby realizing the continuous forward transmission of the pipes 4.

[0046] The moving mechanisms involved in the above embodiments can be set with reference to the moving mechanisms in the prior art, such as using a cylinder or motor as the driving component, and moving and connecting through the cooperation between the slider and the slide block. These will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
