Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product visual inspection technology, and in particular to a device for inspecting the sealing strip of a control box housing. Background Technology
[0002] A control box is a housing that provides dust and water protection for its internal circuit boards. For example, automotive control boxes are core components of automobiles and are in high demand. Due to the complex operating conditions of automobiles, a sealing strip needs to be applied to the outer contour of the control box. Defects in this sealing strip can affect the dust and water resistance of the control box. Therefore, to ensure the control box's airtightness, the shape of the sealing strip needs to be visually inspected. Currently, the inspection of the sealing strip on the outer contour of automotive control boxes is mostly done manually, which is prone to omissions and errors, and is difficult to standardize.

[0005] A control box housing sealing strip testing device includes a feeding mechanism, a testing mechanism, and a discharging mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes two parallel Y-axis servo modules and a fixture mounted on each Y-axis servo module to support the product to be tested. The testing mechanism includes a gantry, an X-axis servo module, a Z-axis servo module, a rotary module, and a scanning head. The gantry spans above and is perpendicular to the Y-axis servo modules. The X-axis servo module is mounted on the gantry and drives the Z-axis servo module to move back and forth in the X-axis direction. The rotary module is connected to the Z-axis servo module and moves back and forth in the Z-axis direction under the drive of the Z-axis servo module. The scanning head is connected to the rotary module and rotates under the drive of the rotary module.
