Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a float testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system, the SCR urea tank sensor is an essential component. The urea tank sensor detects the urea concentration, level, and temperature within the tank and can also thaw frozen urea. It typically consists of a plastic head, heating element, float-type level sensor, and urea tubing. The float-type level sensor includes a vertical guide rod and a float that is movably mounted on the guide rod. The float's movement up and down within the urea tank detects the level. Before assembly, the float's circumference, end face, and the inner wall of its central hole must be inspected for flatness to ensure smooth movement along the vertical guide rod as the level changes. However, current float inspection methods are mostly manual. Manual inspection is inefficient, as operators often rely on their own habits, leading to missed or incorrect checks and ultimately inaccurate results from the assembled float-type level sensor.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pontoon testing device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the float detection equipment provided by this utility model has the following technical advantages:

[0022] The float inspection device provided by this utility model involves transferring the float to an inner wall inspection mechanism via a transfer mechanism. A test rod in the inner wall inspection mechanism penetrates the central hole of the float to inspect the flatness of the inner wall of the central hole.

The clamping and flipping mechanism clamps and fixes the float, and a second scanning component scans the float and its opposite end face. After the second scanning component completes its scan, the clamping and flipping mechanism rotates the float 180°, so that the other end face of the float faces the second scanning component, thus enabling the second scanning component to scan both end faces of the float. The entire testing process is fully automated, requiring no human intervention. It can comprehensively inspect the inner wall, circumference, and end face of the central hole of the float, which not only improves the testing efficiency of the float but also solves the problem that existing manual testing is prone to omissions and errors in testing items, resulting in inaccurate test results from the assembled float-type liquid level sensor.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; 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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a pontoon inspection device, including an inner wall inspection mechanism 6, an outer wall inspection mechanism 7, an end face inspection mechanism 8, and an auxiliary inspection mechanism. The auxiliary inspection mechanism includes a transfer mechanism 5. The inner wall inspection mechanism 6 includes a test rod 64, which can selectively extend into the central hole of the pontoon 100. The inner wall inspection mechanism 6 then inspects the flatness of the inner wall surface of the central hole of the pontoon 100. The outer wall inspection mechanism 7 includes a rotating component 71 and a first scanning component 72. The rotating component 71 can drive the pontoon 100 to rotate, and the first scanning component 72 is used to scan the outer wall of the pontoon 100, thereby scanning the outer circumferential surface of the pontoon 100 to determine the flatness and whether the outer wall of the pontoon 100 is damaged. The end face inspection mechanism 8 includes a clamping and flipping assembly 81, which can clamp the pontoon 100 and drive it to rotate 180°. The second scanning component 82 can scan the end face of the pontoon 100. The transfer mechanism 5 is used to transfer the float 100.

[0046] In the float inspection device provided in this embodiment, the float 100 is transported to the inner wall inspection mechanism 6 via the transfer mechanism 5. The test rod 64 in the inner wall inspection mechanism 6 passes through the center hole of the float 100 to complete the flatness inspection of the inner wall of the center hole of the float 100. Then, the transfer mechanism 5 transports the float 100 that has completed the inner wall inspection mechanism 6 to the outer wall inspection mechanism 7, specifically placing it on the rotating part 71 of the outer wall inspection mechanism 7. The rotating part 71 drives the float 100 to rotate. The first scanning part 72 is opposite to the rotating part 71 and scans the outer peripheral surface of the float 100 to detect the flatness of the outer peripheral surface of the float 100. Subsequently, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the float 100 from the outer wall detection mechanism 7 to the end face detection mechanism 8, specifically placing it in the clamping and flipping assembly 81. The clamping and flipping assembly 81 clamps and fixes the float 100. The second scanning element 82 scans the float 100 and its opposite end face. After the second scanning element 82 completes the scan, the clamping and flipping assembly 81 drives the float to rotate 180°, so that the other end face of the float 100 faces the second scanning element 82, thereby realizing that the second scanning element 82 scans both end faces of the float 100. The entire detection process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, and can comprehensively detect the inner wall, circumferential surface, and end face of the center hole of the float 100. This not only improves the detection efficiency of the float 100 but also solves the problem that existing manual detection is prone to missed or incorrect detection items, leading to inaccurate detection results in the assembled float-type liquid level sensor.

[0047] In this embodiment, the float detection device further includes a vibration mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, and a tilting mechanism 4. The float 100 is placed on the vibration mechanism 2, which is used to adjust the float 100 to a horizontal state. Specifically, the vibration mechanism 2 vibrates during operation, and the vertical float 100 eventually transforms into a horizontal state under the action of vibration. The feeding mechanism 3 is located between the vibration mechanism 2 and the tilting mechanism 4, that is, the output end of the vibration mechanism 2 is connected to the feeding mechanism 3. The float 100 conveyed from the vibration mechanism 2 enters the feeding mechanism 3. The output end of the feeding mechanism 3 is connected to the tilting mechanism 4, and the horizontal float 100 is conveyed to the tilting mechanism 4 through the feeding mechanism 3. The tilting mechanism 4 is used to tilt the float 100. The transfer mechanism 5 can transfer the float 100 located in the tilting mechanism 4 to the inner wall detection mechanism 6. After the tilting mechanism 4 tilts the float 100, the placement angle of the float 100 is more convenient for the transfer mechanism 5 to pick it up. The setup of vibration mechanism 2, feeding mechanism 3 and tilting mechanism 4 can further improve the automation level of the pontoon testing equipment. The staff only needs to put the pontoon 100 into vibration mechanism 2, and the remaining process can be completed automatically by the pontoon testing equipment, thereby further freeing up labor and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0048] For example, the vibration mechanism 2 is a vibratory feeder. A vibratory feeder is a feeding device that automatically and orderly arranges disordered workpieces or parts through vibration and conveys them to the next process step. This allows the vibratory mechanism 2 to sequentially and orderly transmit the floats 100 to the loading mechanism 3 in a horizontal position. The working principle of the vibratory feeder mainly relies on the cooperation of a pulse electromagnet and a spring plate. The pulse electromagnet under the hopper causes the hopper to vibrate vertically, while the inclined spring plate drives the hopper to torsion around its vertical axis. The parts inside the hopper are subjected to this vibration and rise along a spiral track. During the ascent, they undergo a series of track selections or posture changes, ultimately automatically entering the assembly or processing position in a uniform state according to the assembly or processing requirements. Vibratory feeders are widely used in the electronics, hardware, plastics, watchmaking, battery, food, connector, medical device, pharmaceutical, toy, stationery, and daily necessities manufacturing industries. They are conventional equipment used in these industries and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the float inspection equipment also includes a frame 1, a vibration mechanism 2 located on one side of the frame 1, and a feeding mechanism 3, an inner wall inspection mechanism 6, an outer wall inspection mechanism 7, and an end face inspection mechanism 8 all located on the frame 1. These components are arranged at intervals along a first direction, which not only makes the float inspection device layout reasonable and minimizes its space requirements, but also facilitates the movement of the float 100 between the inner wall inspection mechanism 6, the outer wall inspection mechanism 7, and the end face inspection mechanism 8 by the transfer mechanism 5. Furthermore, a tilting mechanism 4 is located at the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 3, enabling the rapid tilting of the horizontally placed float 100, while also making the layout of the feeding mechanism 3 and the tilting mechanism 4 more compact and reasonable. The transfer mechanism 5 is positioned opposite the inner wall detection mechanism 6, the outer wall detection mechanism 7, and the end face detection mechanism 8, so that the transfer mechanism 5 can quickly transfer the float 100 between the inner wall detection mechanism 6, the outer wall detection mechanism 7, and the end face detection mechanism 8, thereby improving the rationality of the transfer path of the float 100 between the inner wall detection mechanism 6, the outer wall detection mechanism 7, and the end face detection mechanism 8.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt assembly 31 and two side baffles 32. The conveyor belt assembly 31 is positioned below the transmission plate and fits against the side of the transmission plate, used to convey the float 100 to the tilting mechanism 4. The two side baffles 32 are respectively positioned on both sides of the conveyor belt assembly 31 to prevent the float 100 from falling during the conveying process, ensuring that the float 100 is stably conveyed on the conveyor belt assembly 31. The conveyor belt assembly 31 includes two rotating parts and a conveyor belt. The two rotating parts are spaced apart and rotate at the same speed. The conveyor belt assembly 31 is driven between the two rotating parts. As the two rotating parts rotate synchronously, they drive the conveyor belt to rotate, thus conveying the float 100 of the vibration mechanism 2 to the tilting mechanism 4. The rotating parts include a drive motor and a rotating wheel. The rotating wheel is located at the output end of the drive motor, and the drive motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate.

[0051] For example, the flipping mechanism 4 includes a first lifting member 41, a flipping member 42, and an insert 43. The first lifting member 41 is driven to the flipping member 42, and the first lifting member 41 can drive the flipping member 42 to reciprocate along a third direction, that is, the first lifting member 41 can adjust the position of the flipping member 42 in the height direction. The insert 43 is connected to the flipping member 42, and as the first lifting member 41 drives the flipping member 42 to move, the height of the insert 43 can be adjusted. The insert 43 includes a main body and an output end. The main body is connected to the flipping member 42, and the flipping member 42 can drive the insert 43 to flip, so that the output end is selectively opposite to the float 100 in the feeding mechanism 3, and the output end can be inserted into the central hole of the float 100. Specifically, when the float 100 conveyed by the feeding mechanism 3 is flipped by the flipping mechanism 4, the flipping component 42 is first operated so that the output end of the insert 43 faces the float 100 in the feeding mechanism 3. The first lifting component 41 is then operated to adjust the height of the insert 43 so that the output end is aligned with the center hole of the float 100. The insert 43 is then driven so that the output end is inserted into the center hole of the float 100. The flipping component 42 is then operated again so that the insert 43 drives the float 100 to flip, adjusting the float 100 from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The first lifting component 41 includes a first bracket and a lifting motor. The lifting motor is fixedly mounted on the first bracket. The flipping component 42 is connected to the output end of the lifting motor. The flipping component 42 includes a rotating motor and a turntable. The turntable is connected to the output end of the rotating motor. The rotating motor can drive the turntable to rotate. The main body of the insert 43 is fixedly connected to the turntable. When the rotating motor drives the turntable to rotate, the insert 43 can be flipped. The specific structure and working principle of the lifting motor and the rotating motor can be found in existing technology and will not be elaborated further here. In this embodiment, the third direction is the direction of the Z-axis.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the feeding mechanism 3, the inner wall detection mechanism 6, the outer wall detection mechanism 7, and the end face detection mechanism 8 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, which not only makes the layout of the float 100 detection device reasonable, but also facilitates the transfer mechanism 5 to drive the float 100 to move between the inner wall detection mechanism 6, the outer wall detection mechanism 7, and the end face detection mechanism 8.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a first driving member 51, a first placement plate 52, a second driving member 53, a second placement plate 54, a connecting beam 55, multiple grippers 56, and a third driving member 57. The first placement plate 52 is opposite to the outer wall detection mechanism 7. The first driving member 51 is driven to the first placement plate 52 and is used to drive the first placement plate 52 to reciprocate along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the first driving member 51 can drive the first placement plate 52 closer to or further away from the direction where the outer wall detection mechanism 7 is located. The second placement plate 54 is placed on the first placement plate 52, and the second driving member 53 is placed on the second placement plate 54. The second driving member 53 is driven to the connecting beam 55, which is placed along the first direction. The second driving member 53 is used to drive the connecting beam 55 to reciprocate along the first direction. The multiple grippers 56 are spaced apart on the connecting beam 55. The third driving member 57 is placed vertically and connected to the driving member of the second placement plate 54. The third driving member 57 is used to drive the second placement plate 54 to reciprocate in a third direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is the X-axis direction, and the second direction is the Y-axis direction.

[0054] Specifically, when the float 100 at the tilting mechanism 4 needs to be transferred, the first drive member 51 is operated to align the connecting beam 55 with the tilting mechanism 4, the second drive member 53 is operated to move the gripper 56 on the connecting beam 55 closer to the tilting mechanism 4, the insert member 43 is operated to retract the output end, and then the gripper 56 is driven to clamp the float 100. The second drive member 53 is operated again to align the gripper 56 holding the float 100 with the inner wall detection mechanism 6, and the first drive member 51 is operated again to move the float 100 closer to the inner wall detection mechanism 6 until it is located within the inner wall detection mechanism 6. Both the first drive member 51 and the second drive member 53 can be driven by cylinders. The first drive member 51 can be fixed to the platform of the frame 1 by a support to ensure the stability of the first drive member 51 assembly. The specific structure and working principle of the gripper 56 can be referred to in existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0055] Preferably, the transfer mechanism 5 further includes a first guide assembly and a second guide assembly. The first guide assembly includes a support base, a first guide portion, and a second guide portion. The first guide portion is disposed on the support base, and the second guide portion is disposed on the bottom surface of the first placement plate 52. The first placement plate 52 is located above the support base. The first guide portion and the second guide portion cooperate to guide each other, so that the first placement plate 52 can move smoothly when the first driving member 51 drives the first placement plate 52 to move. One of the first guide portion and the second guide portion is a guide rail, and the other is a guide block. The second guide assembly includes a third guide portion and a fourth guide portion. The third guide portion is disposed on the front side of the second placement plate 54, and the fourth guide portion is disposed on the connecting beam 55 to ensure that the connecting beam 55 can move smoothly when the second driving member 53 drives the connecting beam 55 to move along the second direction. Specifically, one of the third guide portion and the fourth guide portion is a guide rail, and the other is a guide block.

[0056] The third driving component 57 is located below the first placement plate 52 and on one side of the support base. A through hole is provided on the first placement plate 52, and the output end of the third driving component 57 passes through the through hole and connects to the second placement plate 54. The main body of the third driving component 57 is fixed to the first placement plate 52. The third driving component 57 can be a cylinder.

[0057] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 5 also includes a guide member 58, which includes a fixedly connected pad 581 and a guide post 582. A guide hole is provided on the first placement plate 52. The pad 581 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second placement plate 54, and the guide post 582 is placed within the guide hole. Thus, when the third drive member 57 drives the second placement plate 54 to move in a third direction, the guide post 582 moves along the guide hole, guiding the movement of the second placement plate 54 and making it move more smoothly in the third direction, improving the stability of the transfer mechanism 5 during operation. On the other hand, when the output end of the third drive member 57 retracts, the pad 581 can support the second placement plate 54, preventing excessive localized stress on the second placement plate 54 at the connection point with the output end of the third drive member 57, and ensuring uniform stress distribution on the second placement plate 54. When the second driving member 53 drives the connecting beam 55 to move along the second direction, the side of the connecting beam 55 with more extended area relative to the second placement plate 54 has a greater weight. At this time, the local stress on the second placement plate 54 will increase. In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 5 includes four guide members 58, which are respectively placed at the four corners of the second placement plate 54. The first placement plate 52 is provided with four guide holes, which correspond one-to-one with the guide posts 582 in the four guide members 58. In this way, the four corners of the second placement plate 54 can be supported, thereby further reducing the local stress on the second placement plate 54 and improving the uniformity of the overall stress on the second placement plate 54.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall detection mechanism 6 also includes a first placement member 61, a clamping member 62, and a second lifting member 63. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the float 100 located on the flipping mechanism 4 to the first placement member 61. The clamping member 62 is opposite to the first placement member 61. When the transfer mechanism 5 moves the float 100 to the first placement member 61, the clamping member 62 can selectively clamp the float 100 and fix it. The first placement member 61 is located below the test rod 64 and can drive the float 100 to rotate. The second lifting member 63 is drivenly connected to the test rod 64. The second lifting member 63 can make the test rod 64 move along a third direction, that is, the second lifting member 63 can make the test rod 64 reciprocate in the height direction, thereby allowing the test rod 64 to selectively extend into the central hole of the float 100. Specifically, when using the inner wall detection mechanism 6 to inspect the inner wall of the float 100, the float 100 has already been moved by the transfer mechanism 5 from the flipping mechanism 4 to the first placement member 61, driving the clamping member 62 to move, so that the clamping member 62 clamps the float 100 and fixes it; the second lifting member 63 operates to insert the test rod 64 into the center hole of the float 100 to inspect the inner wall of the center hole of the float 100; the second lifting member 63 operates to move the test rod 64 out of the center hole of the float 100, the clamping member 62 operates to release the float 100, the first placement member 61 operates to rotate the float 100, and then the second lifting member 63 operates to extend the test rod 64 into the center hole of the float 100 to inspect the inner wall of the float 100 in different placement states, so as to improve the accuracy of the flatness detection of the inner wall of the center hole of the float 100. The specific structure and working principle of the second lifting member 63 can be referred to in the prior art, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0059] The clamping member 62 includes two first rotating components 621, a conveyor belt 622, two clamping parts 623, and a driving component 624. The driving component 624 is drivenly connected to one of the first rotating components 621. The conveyor belt 622 is drivenly connected to the two first rotating components 621. The two clamping parts 623 are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 622 and extend outward to the same side of the conveyor belt 622. When the driving component 624 rotates forward, the two clamping parts 623 can approach each other and clamp the float 100 located on the first placement member 61. When the driving component 624 rotates in the opposite direction, the two clamping parts 623 can move away from each other and release the float 100 located on the first placement member 61. The first placement member 61 includes a second rotating component and a placement groove. The placement groove is fixedly connected to the second rotating component. When the second rotating component runs, it drives the placement groove to rotate. The float 100 is located in the placement groove, and thus, when the second rotating component rotates, it can drive the float 100 to rotate. The driving component 624 can be a drive motor, and the first rotating part 621 can be a rotating wheel, which is located at the output end of the drive motor. The second rotating component includes a drive motor and a rotating wheel, with the rotating wheel located at the output end of the drive motor, and a placement slot fixedly connected to the rotating wheel.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating component 71 and the first scanning component 72 in the outer wall detection mechanism 7 are arranged opposite each other, specifically in the second direction. The transfer mechanism 5 can transfer the float 100 of the first placement component 61 to the rotating component 71. The rotating component 71 can selectively fix the float 100 and drive the float 100 to rotate. The first scanning component 72 includes a pushing component 721 and a first scanning camera 722. The pushing component 721 is drivenly connected to the first scanning camera 722. The pushing component 721 can make the first scanning camera 722 move closer to or away from the rotating component 71. The setting of the pushing component 721 can adjust the focal length of the first scanning camera 722 and the rotating component 71, so as to achieve focusing of the first scanning camera 722 and the float 100, and ensure that the first scanning camera 722 can accurately scan the float 100. The working principle of the outer wall detection mechanism 7 is as follows: When the transfer mechanism 5 places the float 100 on the rotating component 71, the pusher 721 is operated to make the first scanning camera 722 focus on the float 100. Then, the rotating component 71 is operated to make the float 100 rotate 360°, so that the first scanning camera 722 can scan the circumference of the float 100 from all directions. The pusher 721 can be a cylinder.

[0061] Regarding the transfer mechanism 5 transferring the float 100 of the first placement member 61 to the rotating member 71, specifically, the two first rotating components 621 are operated to move the two clamping parts 623 away from each other, the second driving member 53 is operated to make one of the grippers 56 on the connecting beam 55 face the first placement member 61, the first driving member 51 is operated to make the gripper 56 on the connecting beam 55 facing the first placement member 61 move closer to the first placement member 61, the gripper 56 is controlled to clamp the float 100 on the first placement member 61, the first driving member 51 is operated to move the float 100 clamped by the gripper 56 away from the first placement member 61, the second driving member 53 is operated to make the clamped float 100 face the rotating member 71 in the outer wall detection mechanism 7, the third driving member 57 is operated to adjust the height of the clamped float 100, the first driving member 51 is operated to move the clamped float 100 closer to the rotating member 71, and the third driving member 57 is operated to place the float 100 on the rotating member 71. The rotating component 71 includes a third rotating part and a fixing fixture. The fixing fixture is positioned above and fixedly connected to the third rotating part. The fixing fixture has a protruding post and a magnetic inlet hole on the end face of the float 100. The third driving component 57 adjusts the height of the float 100 to prevent it from colliding with the protruding post when the first driving component 51 drives the clamped float 100 close to the rotating component 71. Specifically, the protruding post in the fixing fixture is inserted into the magnetic inlet hole of the float 100 to ensure the float 100 is stably placed on the fixing fixture of the rotating component 71. The third rotating part can drive the fixing fixture to rotate, thereby causing the float 100 placed on the fixing fixture to rotate. The third rotating part can be a rotary motor.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the end face detection mechanism 8 further includes a second placement member 83, which is used to place the float 100. The clamping and flipping assembly 81 includes a clamp 811 and a rotating wheel 812. The rotating wheel 812 includes a rotating wheel, and the clamp 811 is connected to the rotating wheel. The transfer mechanism 5 is used to move the float 100 on the rotating member 71 to the second placement member 83. The two clamping plates of the clamp 811 are respectively placed on both sides of the second placement member 83. When the float 100 is placed on the second placement member 83, the clamp 811 is moved to bring the two clamping plates closer together, clamping and fixing the float 100. The second scanning member 82 includes a third lifting member 821 and a second scanning camera 822. The third lifting member 821 can drive the second scanning camera 822 to move along a third direction, that is, the second scanning camera 822 is placed at the output end of the third lifting member 821. During the movement of the second scanning camera 822 by the third lifting member 821, the focal length between the second scanning camera 822 and the float 100 placed on the second placement member 83 can be adjusted. The second scanning camera 822 is rotatably connected to the third lifting member 821, and the second scanning camera 822 faces the end face of the float 100, thus enabling the second scanning camera 822 to scan the float 100 and its opposite end face more comprehensively. The control principle of the end face detection mechanism 8 is as follows: When the float 100 is placed on the second placement member 83, the running clamp 811 clamps and fixes the float 100. Then, the third lifting member 821 in the second scanning member 82 is run to adjust the focal length of the second scanning camera 822 and the float 100 placed on the second placement member 83. Then, the second scanning camera 822 is used to scan the float 100 and its opposite end face. Then, the rotating wheel member 812 is run to make the rotating wheel rotate and drive the clamp 811 to flip, so that the other end face of the float 100 is opposite to the second scanning camera 822. Then, the second scanning camera 822 is used to scan the other end face of the float 100.

[0063] To facilitate clearer and more comprehensive scanning, the end face detection mechanism 8 includes two second scanning elements 82 and two second placement elements 83. The two second scanning elements 82 and the two second placement elements 83 are placed in a one-to-one correspondence. When the rotating wheel 812 rotates and the clamp 811 causes the float 100 to flip, the float 100 is transferred from one second placement element 83 to the other second placement element 83. The two second scanning elements 82 scan the upper and lower end faces of the float 100 respectively, so as to achieve a clearer scan of the two end faces of the float 100.

[0064] Preferably, the pontoon testing equipment also includes a placement platform 12, which is placed along the first direction and located between the transfer mechanism 5 and the outer wall testing mechanism 7. The first placement component 61 in the inner wall testing mechanism 6, the rotating component 71 in the outer wall testing mechanism 7, and the second placement component 83 in the end face testing structure are all set on the placement platform 12, making the layout of the pontoon testing equipment more rational.

[0065] In this embodiment, the float inspection equipment also includes a control panel, which is electrically connected to the vibration mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 3, the tilting mechanism 4, the transfer mechanism 5, the inner wall inspection mechanism 6, the outer wall inspection mechanism 7, and the end face inspection mechanism 8. The control panel has multiple control buttons, which can be used to control the working status of different mechanisms. When inspecting the float 100, operators can control the operation of different mechanisms by operating different control buttons, enabling the inspection of the inner wall, outer peripheral surface, and end face of the float 100's central hole, reducing the difficulty of operating different mechanisms. Preferably, a control module can be added to the control panel, and a control program can be input into the control module to enable the float inspection equipment to operate automatically according to the control program, further reducing the difficulty of operation for operators. The control module and control program are conventional technical means in the field of electrical control and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0066] In this embodiment, the float inspection equipment further includes a first recovery box 9, a second recovery box 10, a third recovery box 11, and a hopper. The first recovery box 9 is used to recover floats 100 that fail the inner wall inspection, the second recovery box 10 is used to recover floats 100 that fail the outer wall inspection, and the third recovery box 11 is used to recover floats 100 that fail the end face inspection. This allows for the classification of defective floats 100, facilitating subsequent repairs. The hopper is used to hold floats 100 that pass the inspection.

[0067] The detection steps of the float detection device in this embodiment are as follows: The float 100 to be detected is placed in the vibration mechanism 2. The vibration mechanism 2 is started to allow the float 100 to enter the feeding mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 3 is run to transfer the float 100 to the tilting mechanism 4. The tilting mechanism 4 tilts the horizontally placed float 100 to a vertical position. Subsequently, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the float 100 placed in the tilting mechanism 4 to the inner wall detection mechanism. The test rod 64 in the inner wall detection mechanism 6 detects the inner wall of the center hole of the float 100. If the inner wall of the float 100 passes the detection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the float 100 with the passed inner wall to the outer wall detection mechanism 7. If the inner wall of the float 100 fails the detection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the float 100 with the failed inner wall to the first recycling box 9. Subsequently, the rotating part 71 in the outer wall detection mechanism 7 drives the inner wall of the float 100 to the outer wall detection mechanism 7 to detect the inner wall of the float 100. The float 100 that passes the wall inspection rotates, and the first scanning element 72 performs a full-range scan of the outer circumference of the float 100 to inspect the outer wall of the float 100. For floats 100 that pass the outer wall inspection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers them to the end face inspection mechanism 8. For floats 100 that fail the outer wall inspection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers them to the second recycling bin 10. Subsequently, the second scanning element 82 in the end face inspection mechanism 8 scans the opposite end face of the float 100 that has passed the outer wall inspection. Then, the clamping and flipping mechanism 4 flips the float 100 180°, and the second scanning element 82 scans the other end face of the float 100. For floats 100 that pass the end face inspection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers them to the hopper. For floats 100 that fail the end face inspection, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers them to the third recycling bin 11.
