Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, specifically to an image measuring instrument for detecting the dimensions of aluminum profiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the quality control and inspection process of aluminum profiles, dimensional inspection is essential. The main dimensions to be inspected for aluminum profiles are length, width, height, and various cross-sectional dimensions. Cross-sectional inspection can obtain information such as thickness and corner radius.

[0003] In existing technologies, when using an image projector to inspect the dimensions of aluminum profiles, the rectangular aluminum profile is placed horizontally on a transparent worktable for inspection. Lights are installed below the transparent worktable, and there are also lights on the side of the lens assembly above the worktable, ensuring a clear outline of the aluminum profile. The lens assembly then captures an image of the aluminum profile, and the software then obtains the length, width, and height dimensions. However, when inspecting the cross-sectional dimensions of the aluminum profile, the cross-section needs to be directly facing the lens assembly. Since the aluminum profile used for inspection is usually a section, its cross-section is not necessarily perpendicular to its centerline. Therefore, placing the aluminum profile vertically on the transparent worktable results in an tilt, causing the image captured by the lens assembly above to be limited to the upper end of the aluminum profile. The inspected data cannot represent all cross-sections along the entire length of the aluminum profile, meaning the inspection data is inaccurate. Utility Model Content

[0066] See Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides an image measuring instrument for aluminum profile size detection, including a frame, a worktable 10, a glass plate 20, a strip baffle 30, a rotating arm 31, a lens group 32, a first lamp group, a second lamp group 33, and a first drive mechanism 40.

[0067] A workbench 10 is mounted on a frame, and a glass plate 20 is mounted on the workbench 10. The glass plate 20 is used to support the aluminum profile 70. A strip baffle 30 is connected to the workbench 10 and is located above the glass plate 20. Its side can block the side of the aluminum profile 70. When the aluminum profile 70 is pushed against the strip baffle 30, the side of the cuboid-shaped strip baffle 30 can block the side of the normally cuboid-shaped aluminum profile 70, thereby making the aluminum profile 70 and the strip baffle 30 parallel to each other.

[0068] The middle part of the rotating arm 31 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the rotating arm 31 is C-shaped.

[0069] The lens assembly 32 is disposed at the upper end of the rotating arm 31, and can be referred to in the prior art. The lens assembly 32 can slide vertically at the upper end of the rotating arm 31, thereby allowing the lens assembly 32 to move closer to or further away from the glass plate 20 to achieve lens focusing. The first lamp assembly is disposed at the upper end of the rotating arm 31, and specifically, the first lamp assembly can be disposed on the outer periphery of the lens assembly 32, referring to the prior art.

[0070] The second lamp group 33 is located at the lower end of the rotating arm 31, opposite to the lens group 32. The function of the second lamp group 33 is the same as that of the lamp group below the transparent worktable 10 of the existing influence measuring instrument. The first drive mechanism 40 is used to drive the rotating arm 31 to rotate. The first lamp group and the second lamp group 33 irradiate the aluminum profile 70 on the transparent glass plate 20 from the upper and lower sides, respectively, so that the lens can obtain the cleaned outline of the aluminum profile 70.

[0071] The glass plate 20 is located between the lens group 32 and the second lamp group 33, and the rotation center of the rotating arm 31 is located on the upper side of the glass plate 20.

[0072] In this embodiment, the aluminum profile 70 is placed on the transparent glass plate 20. After the lens group 32 obtains the image of the aluminum profile 70 from above, the rotating arm 31 is driven to rotate by the first driving mechanism 40, so that the lens group 32, the aluminum profile 70 and the second lamp group 33 are at the same level. At this time, the aluminum profile 70 is pushed to abut against the strip baffle 30, so that the line connecting the lens group 32 and the second lamp group 33 coincides with the center line of the aluminum profile 70, so that the lens group 32 obtains the shape of the cross section of the aluminum profile 70, and the detection data is more accurate.

[0073] In one embodiment, the frame includes an upright support column 50, and a base is connected below the support base 12.

[0074] The workbench 10 includes a connecting beam 11, a support base 12, a glass mounting base 13, and a second drive mechanism 14.

[0075] The connecting beam 11 is connected to the support column 50. The support base 12 is connected to the end of the connecting beam 11 away from the support column 50. The glass mounting base 13 is disposed on the support base 12.

[0076] Both ends of the strip baffle 30 are connected to the glass mounting base 13. A limiting window 15 is formed between the strip baffle 30 and the glass mounting base 13. The glass plate 20 is slidably disposed on the glass mounting base 13 along the length direction of the connecting beam 11. One end of the glass plate 20 slides through the limiting window 15. The second drive mechanism 14 is used to drive the glass plate 20 to slide on the glass mounting base 13.

[0077] In this embodiment, the glass plate 20 is driven by the second driving mechanism 14 to slide on the glass mounting base 13, thereby adjusting the position of the aluminum profile 70 on the glass plate 20 in one horizontal direction. Furthermore, when the rotating arm 31 rotates, the glass plate 20 can also be driven to slide by the second driving mechanism 14, thereby abutting the aluminum profile 70 on the glass plate 20 against the strip baffle 30. This causes the line connecting the lens assembly 32 and the second lamp assembly 33 to coincide with or be parallel to the center line of the aluminum profile 70. The glass plate 20 can also slide to adjust the position of the aluminum profile 70.

[0078] In one embodiment, the glass mounting base 13 includes two first mounting posts 131, two second mounting posts 132, and two side plates 133.

[0079] Two first mounting posts 131 are arranged parallel to each other. Two second mounting posts 132 are also arranged parallel to each other, with each end of the second mounting post 132 connected to the ends of the two first mounting posts 131, forming a square frame. Two side plates 133 are connected to the upper ends of the corresponding second mounting posts 132, located on both sides of the glass plate 20. Two ends of a strip baffle 30 are connected to the two side plates 133; a limiting window 15 is formed between the strip baffle 30, the two side plates 133, and the first mounting posts 131. The glass plate 20 is slidably mounted on the two second mounting posts 132.

[0080] In this embodiment, the glass plate 20 slides on the two second mounting posts 132 and between the two side plates 133, and one end of the glass plate 20 is located between the first mounting post 131 and the strip baffle 30. As the glass plate 20 slides, the aluminum profile 70 on the glass plate 20 can abut against the strip baffle 30.

[0081] In one embodiment, the support base 12 has a mounting groove 121. The image measuring instrument for aluminum profile size detection also includes a slider 60, a first drive rod 62, and a first motor 63.

[0082] The slider 60 is slidably disposed within the mounting groove 121. The slider 60 is connected to the lower end of the first mounting post 131, and a first hole 61 is formed on the slider 60. One end of the first drive rod 62 is threadedly connected to the first hole 61. The first motor 63 is connected to the support base 12. The output end of the first motor 63 is connected to the first drive rod 62. The axis of the first drive rod 62 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the glass plate 20. Furthermore, the slider 60 allows the glass mounting base 13 and the support base 12 to move relative to each other without separating.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first motor 63, which is mounted on the support base 12, drives the first drive rod 62 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 60 to slide in the mounting groove 121, which in turn causes the glass mounting base 13 to slide relative to the support base 12, thereby adjusting the position of the aluminum profile 70 on the glass plate 20 in one horizontal direction.

[0084] In one embodiment, a strip-shaped hole 21 is provided at one end of the glass plate 20 near the strip-shaped baffle 30. The length direction of the strip-shaped hole 21 is parallel to the axis of the first drive rod 62.

[0085] The second drive mechanism 14 includes a limit seat 141, a square rod 143, a second drive rod 145, and a second motor 146.

[0086] The limiting seat 141 is connected to the connecting beam 11, and a square hole 142 is provided on the limiting seat 141. One end of the square rod 143 is slidably disposed in the strip hole 21, and the other end of the square rod 143 passes through the square hole 142 and is provided with a coaxial second hole 144. Specifically, a groove is provided at the end of the square rod 143, and the end of the square rod 143 is engaged with the strip hole 21 through the side wall of the groove, realizing a sliding fit between the end of the square rod 143 and the strip hole 21. The second drive rod 145 is rotatably disposed on the support column 50, and the second drive rod 145 is threadedly connected to the second hole 144. Specifically, a through hole is provided on the support column 50, and the second drive rod 145 is rotatably disposed in the through hole. The second motor 146 is connected to the support column 50, and the output end of the second motor 146 is connected to the second drive rod 145.

[0087] In this embodiment, driven by the second motor 146, the second drive rod 145 rotates, thereby causing the square rod 143 to slide within the square hole 142, which in turn causes the glass plate 20 to slide.

[0088] In one embodiment, the second mounting post 132 has a plurality of mating grooves 16; the plurality of mating grooves 16 are distributed along the length direction of the second mounting post 132; each mating groove 16 is provided with a rotatable roller 17; the roller 17 abuts against the lower end of the glass plate 20. In addition, the roller 17 can be rotatably connected to the corresponding side plate 133, so that the roller 17 will not disengage from the mating groove 16.

[0089] In this embodiment, rollers 17 are provided to reduce the frictional resistance of the glass plate 20.

[0090] In one embodiment, the first drive mechanism 40 includes a rotating shaft 41 and a third motor 42.

[0091] A rotating shaft 41 is rotatably mounted on a support column 50, with one end of the shaft 41 connected to the middle of the rotating arm 31. Specifically, the connection method between the rotating shaft 41 and the support column 50 can be referenced from the connection method between the second drive rod 145 and the support column 50. A third motor 42 is mounted on the support column 50, and the output end of the third motor 42 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 41 away from the rotating arm 31.

[0092] In this embodiment, the third motor 42 drives the rotating arm 31 to reciprocate within a 90-degree range via the rotating shaft 41 so that the lens group 32 can acquire images of the aluminum profile 70 on the glass plate 20 from directly above and from the side.
