[0031] The working principle is that the conveying belt on the conveying table 1 drives the nut to move forward, the nut moves to the front of the gantry 2, the camera 3 collects the image of the nut, the image preprocessing module performs grayscale processing on the image, converts the color image into a grayscale image by using the weighted average method, etc., filters the grayscale image to remove noise, enhances the image contrast by using the histogram equalization method, the feature extraction module performs edge detection and shape feature extraction, judges whether the nut shape is normal according to these parameters, calculates the texture features of the thread by using the gray level co-occurrence matrix method, performs template matching at different positions and scales to calculate the matching degree, compares the matching degree with a threshold value to judge whether the nut is qualified, and displays the detection result of the nut on the screen.

The qualified products and smaller sizes fall onto the second screen plate 73, and the smaller sizes fall below the second screen plate 73. The qualified products slide down through the qualified product outlet 75 onto the conveying table 1, so that the detection system only needs to detect the qualified products of the qualified size, thereby avoiding the situation that due to various reasons in the nut production process, larger or smaller size defective products may be produced.

Starting the first motor 711, the output shaft of the first motor 711 can drive the disc 712 to rotate, making the operation more convenient. The two limiting rods 82 can guide the nuts to always be located in the middle position of the conveying table 1, and the distance between the two limiting rods 82 can be adjusted according to the size of the nut, so that the nuts pass one by one, facilitating detection. The guide wheel 83 can reduce the friction between the guide wheel 83 and the nut, preventing affecting the forward movement of the nut. Starting the second motor 86, the output shaft of the second motor 86 drives the rotating rod 84 to rotate, and under the action of the two gears 85, the rotating rod 84 and the rotating shaft 81 are synchronously and reversely rotated. The rotation of the rotating rod 84 drives a belt pulley 87 to rotate, and the two belt pulleys 87 are synchronously rotated under the action of the transmission belt 88, thereby synchronously and reversely rotating the two rotating shafts 81, making the adjustment operation more convenient.
