[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a support device, which includes a base 1, a support shaft 2, a support frame 3, and a positioning device. The positioning device includes a positioning hole 7 fixed relative to the position of the support shaft 2, and a positioning pin 5 adapted to the positioning hole 7. The top end of the support shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 3. The base 1 has a sliding groove adapted to the cross-section of the support shaft 2. The support shaft 2 slides in contact with the sliding groove on the base 1. The base 1 also has an installation hole 6 for the positioning pin 5 to pass through. The positioning pin 5 passes through the installation hole 6 and engages with the positioning hole 7 to position the support shaft 2 that is slidably set in the sliding groove. The support frame 3 has an opening with a V-shaped cross-section, and the opening is set upward to support a rubber bend placed on the opening.
[0030] Among them, the support shaft 2 can slide in the groove on the base 1, which makes it easy to directly adjust the height of the support frame 3 according to the support height requirements of the rubber bend, ensuring the height accuracy of the rubber bend; in addition, during use, there is no need to replace the support device. Just adjust the height of the support frame 3, and then use the positioning pin 5 of the positioning device to lock the positioning hole 7 for positioning, which can support rubber bends with different height requirements, making it more applicable and greatly reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0031] Furthermore, the positioning device also includes a positioning plate 4, which is fixedly connected to the support shaft 2 and located on one side of the support shaft 2. The positioning plate 4 and the support shaft 2 constitute a support shaft assembly. The sliding groove opened on the base 1 is adapted to the cross-section of the support shaft assembly. The positioning hole 7 is opened on the positioning plate 4. Multiple sets of positioning holes 7 are opened and are distributed in a straight line along the axis of the support shaft 2. At the same time, the inner diameter of the positioning hole 7 is the same as the outer diameter of the positioning pin 5. During use, after determining the height of the support frame 3, the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 7 by passing through the mounting hole 6. It is convenient to use and quick to install.
[0032] Furthermore, two sets of support shafts 2 are provided, and the positioning plate 4 is located between the two sets of support shafts 2 and is fixedly connected to the two sets of support shafts 2. By setting two sets of mutually parallel support shafts 2, a more stable support effect can be provided for the support frame 3, reducing the shaking problem of the support shaft assembly during the height adjustment of the support frame 3 and improving the height adjustment accuracy of the support frame 3.
[0033] As an embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 of the support device and the support frame 3 can also be connected by a structure of miniature telescopic cylinder, crank connecting rod mechanism or worm gear, so as to achieve the adjustable height of the support frame 3 relative to the base 1.

The support device is fixed on the working platform 11 and arranged along the shape of the rubber bend. In use, the base 1 of the support device is fixedly installed on the working platform 11, and then the height of the support frame 3 is adjusted to a suitable height. After the rubber bend is placed in position, the port image information and the shape image information of the rubber bend are captured by the port camera 9 and the shape camera 10, which are positioned opposite each other.
[0037] Once the rubber bend to be inspected enters the designated position, the sensor is triggered to activate the image acquisition device. Subsequently, the captured image information of the rubber bend port and the shape image information are transmitted to the processor for real-time analysis and processing. Finally, based on the set judgment criteria, it is determined whether the rubber bend is qualified and the operator is informed in the corresponding feedback form.
[0038] Preferably, the port camera 9 is fixedly connected to the working platform 11 via an L-shaped support rod 12, and the port camera 9 and the L-shaped support rod 12 are detachably connected. The profile camera 10 is fixedly connected to the working platform 11 via a camera bracket 13. The camera bracket includes a vertical pole 131, a horizontal beam 132, a support beam 133, and a vertical connecting rod 134. Two vertical poles 131 are provided and are vertically arranged on the same side of the working platform 11.
