Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surface inspection technology for parts, and in particular discloses a planar inspection platform structure. Background Technology
[0002] Planar inspection platforms play a crucial role in modern manufacturing and automated industries, widely used in areas such as workpiece surface quality inspection and post-processing of precision machining. With increasing demands for high-precision machining, traditional inspection platforms often employ fixed robotic arms or relatively simple moving mechanisms for surface inspection. However, these existing technologies have several shortcomings: Firstly, due to the limitations of a single drive system, existing platforms often cannot achieve comprehensive and accurate inspection of the workpiece surface, especially when inspecting large or complex-shaped workpieces, frequently resulting in blind spots or uncovered areas. Secondly, the control systems of existing platforms are generally rudimentary, unable to provide real-time and accurate feedback and position control, leading to unstable inspection accuracy. Furthermore, the poor operational flexibility and low degree of automation of traditional equipment also limit their application in modern, efficient production.
[0003] Therefore, how to improve detection accuracy and efficiency through precise mechanical design and intelligent control system without increasing equipment complexity has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of planar inspection platforms. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the number of the first drive units is at least two sets, with the two sets of first drive units respectively set on the top two sides of the support platform.

[0014] Furthermore, the planar detection platform structure also includes a position feedback component, which includes a grating detection unit. The grating detection unit includes a grating ruler disposed on the support platform and a sensor disposed on the power output end of the first robotic arm assembly. The first robotic arm assembly is electrically coupled to the electronic control component via the sensor. The sensor is used to sense the light signal generated by the grating ruler, thereby detecting the movement position of the detection device driven by the first robotic arm assembly, and feeding back the movement position information to the electronic control component.

[0015] Furthermore, the sensing element includes a zero-position exciter, a reading head disposed on the zero-position exciter, and a signal processor.

[0033] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 8As shown, the planar inspection platform structure of this utility model includes several core components, such as a mounting frame, a first robotic arm assembly, a support platform, and an electrical control assembly. It aims to provide a high-precision, high-efficiency inspection platform, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies in workpiece surface inspection. First, the core component of the platform is the mounting frame, which is used to limit the workpiece to be inspected and ensure its stability and positional accuracy throughout the inspection process. The first robotic arm assembly, which works in conjunction with the mounting frame, supports external inspection devices and can precisely drive these devices to inspect the workpiece surface. The first robotic arm assembly reciprocates along the X, Y, and Z axes on the support platform, with each movement along the X, Y, and Z axes controlled by a corresponding drive unit. The electrical control assembly, through electrical cooperation with the first robotic arm assembly, can precisely regulate the movement of the robotic arm, ensuring that the inspection device accurately covers the workpiece surface for inspection.
[0035] In the specific design of the first robotic arm assembly, the first drive unit includes a first slide rail mounted on a support platform, a first slider slidably mounted on the slide rail, a first mover mounted on the slider, and a first stator mounted on the support platform. The stator includes a stator mounting frame on the support platform and two sets of permanent magnets on the inner wall of the stator. This design allows the first mover to slide precisely between the two sets of magnets, achieving high-precision movement control. Compared to existing technologies, using a permanent magnet drive method can significantly improve the stability and reliability of the drive unit, while reducing mechanical friction and energy loss in traditional electric drive systems, thus improving system efficiency and lifespan. To further enhance system precision, the first drive unit is equipped with at least two sets of drive units, respectively located on both sides of the top of the support platform. Through the coordinated action of these drive units, precise control of the platform along the X, Y, and Z axes is ensured.
[0036] Specifically, the third drive unit is designed with multiple components, including a connecting block located at the power output end of the second drive unit, a second slide rail, a first lead screw, and a second slider screwed to it. This design enables the third drive unit to move precisely back and forth in the Z-axis direction, driving the detection device to complete the workpiece detection task. Compared with existing technologies, the three-axis linkage drive design provides higher flexibility and accuracy, and is particularly suitable for the detection of large-sized or complex-shaped workpieces, ensuring comprehensive coverage and precise positioning of the workpiece surface by the detection device.
[0037] The support platform employs a gantry structure, with a first through-hole in the base and a second through-hole in the mounting bracket. These two sections are connected via the through-hole, ensuring that the portion of the workpiece to be inspected is exposed. This structural design not only guarantees that the inspection device can perform surface inspection from all angles without blind spots but also flexibly handles workpieces of different shapes and sizes, improving the platform's applicability and flexibility. The overall structure of the support platform is robust and reliable, capable of withstanding high loads and providing precise motion control.
[0038] To further improve the accuracy and stability of the detection process, this invention also includes a position feedback component, which comprises a grating detection unit and a photoelectric sensor. The grating detection unit works electrically with the electronic control unit to accurately sense the light signal generated by the grating ruler, detecting and feeding back the movement position of the first robotic arm assembly. Based on the feedback information, the electronic control unit adjusts the travel and speed of the first robotic arm assembly in real time, ensuring precise positioning of the detection device on the workpiece surface. The photoelectric sensor is used for target detection, further improving the accuracy and stability of the platform system. Combined with the high-precision displacement measurement of the grating ruler, this forms a dual guarantee, improving the system's reliability and control accuracy. Through this feedback mechanism, the platform can achieve real-time self-adjustment during the detection process, ensuring high accuracy and stability even in complex operating environments.
[0039] Furthermore, this invention takes into account the system's safety and protection by specifically designing anti-collision components. These components are installed at both ends of the first slider in the direction of movement and are integrally molded from silicone material. They effectively prevent collisions during movement, protecting mechanical parts and detection devices from damage, thereby improving the equipment's durability and stability. The use of anti-collision components also reduces equipment maintenance costs and failure rates, extending the platform's service life.
[0040] In terms of overall design, this utility model also includes a second robotic arm assembly, which has the same structure as the first robotic arm assembly. The mounting bracket is located at the power output end of the second drive unit of the second robotic arm assembly. The first and second robotic arm assemblies are located on the upper and lower sides of the support platform, respectively, ensuring that both the front and back sides of the workpiece can be fully inspected. The Z-axis drive unit of the second robotic arm allows the inspection device to move up and down reciprocally within the second through hole of the base, effectively achieving simultaneous inspection of both the front and back sides of the workpiece and further improving inspection efficiency.
[0041] In summary, this invention provides a highly efficient and precise planar inspection platform through the combination of precise mechanical design and an intelligent control system. This platform, with its three-axis linkage drive system, high-precision feedback mechanism, and protective design, not only improves inspection accuracy and work efficiency but also provides higher reliability and stability in practical applications. Compared to existing technologies, this invention has significant advantages and can better meet the needs of modern precision manufacturing and automated inspection fields.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
