Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A chain conveyor structure with detection function includes a support frame 1. Four pressure sensors 22 are installed at the top of the support frame 1, located at the four corners of the top of the support frame 1. A conveyor 21, specifically a chain conveyor, is installed at the top of the pressure sensors 22. The frame at the bottom of the conveyor 21 is connected to the support frame 1 via the pressure sensors 22. The pressure sensors 22 detect the weight of the workpiece. A sliding assembly 4 is installed inside the conveyor 21. A telescopic component is located at the front end of the sliding assembly 4, and a blocking component is located at the front end of the telescopic component. A measuring component is located on one side of the sliding assembly 4 to measure the length of the workpiece. A connecting assembly 9 is located inside the sliding assembly 4. A mounting frame 31 is installed outside the conveyor 21, and several cameras 32 are installed on the mounting frame 31. The cameras 32 detect whether the appearance of the workpiece is qualified, whether there are missing parts or damage, and also detect the size of the workpiece.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic component includes a measuring tape 61 fixed to the top frame and side of the conveyor 21. The outer end of the measuring tape 61 is fixed with a mounting plate 71. When the blocking component is pushed by the workpiece, it causes the measuring tape 61 to stretch. The bottom end of the mounting plate 71 is slidably provided with a support plate 51 fixedly connected to the frame of the conveyor 21. The support plate 51 is used to support the mounting plate 71 and support the blocking component above.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the blocking component includes a fixing plate 72 fixed to the top of the mounting plate 71. When the workpiece moves onto the conveyor 21, the fixing plate 72 moves by moving, thereby pulling out the tape of the measuring tape 61. A measuring plate 81 is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting plate 71, and the measuring plate 81 is located on one side of the fixing plate 72.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding assembly 4 includes a mounting box 41 located at the rear end of the measuring tape 61 and fixedly connected to the frame of the conveyor 21. A slider 42 is slidably disposed inside the mounting box 41. The top end of the slider 42 extends through the mounting box 41 to the top of the mounting box 41. An inclined surface is provided behind the top end of the slider 42. When the conveyor 21 moves the workpiece, it contacts the inclined surface at the rear end of the slider 42, thereby squeezing the slider 42 into the interior of the mounting box 41. The workpiece continues to move. A spring 46 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the slider 42 and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the interior of the mounting box 41. When the workpiece passes over the slider 42, the slider 42 rises due to the elastic force of the spring 46, thereby powering the distance sensor 45 through the connecting assembly 9 to measure the distance to the measuring plate 81.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the measuring component includes a distance sensor 45 fixed to one side of the mounting box 41. The distance sensor 45 is used to detect the distance between itself and the measuring plate 81 by infrared light. The distance sensor 45 is located behind the measuring plate 81.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The chain conveyor structure with detection function provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the connecting component 9 includes a connecting groove 91 opened at the front end of the slider 42 and located inside the mounting box 41. The connecting groove 91 is connected to the rear end of the slider 42. A first conductive sheet 92 is fixedly provided at the bottom end inside the connecting groove 91. A first connecting plate 10 is fixedly provided at the rear end inside the mounting box 41. A second conductive sheet 11 that contacts the first conductive sheet 92 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the first connecting plate 10. A power supply is provided outside the conveyor 21. The power supply is electrically connected to the second conductive sheet 11.

[0036] The front end of the mounting box 41 is fixedly equipped with a second connecting plate 12. The bottom end of the second connecting plate 12 is fixedly equipped with a third conductive plate 13 that contacts the first conductive plate 92. The third conductive plate 13 is electrically connected to the distance sensor 45. The power supply is transferred to the third conductive plate 13 through the contact between the second conductive plate 11 and the first conductive plate 92. Thus, the third conductive plate 13 provides power to the distance sensor 45, which emits infrared light to the measuring plate 81 to detect the distance and thus detect the size of the workpiece. By comparing the size with the size detected by the camera 32, if there is an error between the two detection results, it indicates that the measurement result needs further verification. At the same time, the equipment also needs to be adjusted to calibrate the detection results, making the detection results more rigorous and accurate.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] The chain conveyor structure with detection function provided in Examples 1 and 2 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a connecting groove 43 is provided at the top of the slider 42, and two pulleys 44 are rotatably arranged inside the connecting groove 43. When the workpiece guides the slider 42 into the mounting box 41 through the inclined surface, the workpiece will rub against the top of the slider 42. The pulleys 44 contact the workpiece and make the pulleys 44 roll, thereby reducing friction and avoiding excessive wear on the slider 42 and the workpiece.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, an anti-slip pad 73 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the fixing plate 72. The anti-slip pad 73 is specifically a rubber pad, which has an anti-slip function and can buffer a certain impact force to prevent the fixing plate 72 from detaching from the workpiece.

[0040] The usage process of the chain conveyor structure with detection function provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0041] When it is necessary to inspect the workpiece, the workpiece is placed on the conveyor 21, and the conveyor 21 is started to move the workpiece from back to front to contact the slider 42. The slider 42 is guided downward through the inclined plane into the mounting box 41. At the same time, the second conductive sheet 11, the third conductive sheet 13 and the first conductive sheet 92 inside the connecting groove 91 are separated, the power supply of the distance sensor 45 is disconnected, and then it contacts the anti-slip pad 73 and moves it forward. The measuring plate 81 also moves accordingly. The elastic force of the ruler spring in the tape measure 61 makes the anti-slip pad 73 have sufficient contact force with the workpiece. With the support of the support plate 51, the fixing plate 72 and the anti-slip pad 73 can be placed on the front end of the workpiece without falling off.

[0042] When the workpiece continues to move and completely passes over the slider 42, the slider 42 slides upward by the elastic force of the spring 46 and contacts the rear end of the workpiece. At the same time, the second conductive sheet 11, the third conductive sheet 13, and the first conductive sheet 92 come into contact again, so that the power supply is transferred through the second conductive sheet 11 to the first conductive sheet 92 and the third conductive sheet 13, thereby providing power to the distance sensor 45, so that the distance sensor 45 can detect the distance to the measuring plate 81 by infrared detection, thereby detecting the length of the workpiece.

[0043] The weight of the workpiece is then detected by pressure sensor 22, and the appearance and size of the workpiece are detected by camera 32. The size detected by camera 32 through vision function is compared with the size detected by distance sensor 45, thereby calibrating the detection results.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
