Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of badminton production, specifically a quality inspection device for badminton shuttlecock feathers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, badminton shuttlecocks are generally made from either natural or artificial feathers. However, the flight performance of artificial feathers differs significantly from that of natural feathers. Artificial feathers can be made to be uniform in size, while natural feathers vary considerably in terms of feather width, length, and curvature. If these feathers are used on shuttlecocks without being sorted, their flight performance will be affected. In the past, feathers were manually sorted to obtain feathers of roughly the same size. This required a large amount of manpower, increasing both product and management costs.

[0003] Therefore, a CCD vision camera was introduced to screen feathers. The main principle is as follows: the CCD detects the width, length, and surface contaminants of the feathers in the vertical direction. Feathers are conveyed via a conveyor belt; when they reach the detection position, a sensor sends a signal to the computer, simultaneously triggering the CCD to acquire an image. The image signal is then digitized by an image acquisition card and sent to the computer's memory, where it is further processed by image processing software. This image detection method is non-contact, and accuracy can be improved by adjusting the lens magnification or using a high-resolution camera. However, during the detection process, the CCD camera can only capture and detect one side of the feather at a time, resulting in poor image detection quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quality inspection device for badminton shuttlecock feathers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0021] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 A quality inspection device for badminton shuttlecock feathers includes a fixing mechanism 1. The fixing mechanism 1 includes an L-shaped plate 101, with a rotating seat 102 rotatably connected inside the L-shaped plate 101. A rectangular hole 103 is formed inside the rotating seat 102, and guide rods 104 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the rectangular hole 103. The rectangular hole 103 is designed to accommodate the guide rods 104. Clamping plates 105 are symmetrically slidably connected inside the two sets of guide rods 104. The guide rods 104 guide the sliding of the clamping plates 105, allowing the feathers to be clamped and fixed when the two sets of clamping plates 105 move relative to each other. Rubber pads 107 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two sets of clamping plates 105, and multiple rubber protrusions 106 are evenly fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two sets of rubber pads 107. The rubber protrusions 106 and rubber pads 107 reduce the probability of feather displacement during clamping and improve the clamping stability of the feathers.

[0023] The detection mechanism 2 includes an L-shaped plate 101 with a compression plate 201 fixedly connected to one side. Reinforcing ribs 208 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the compression plate 201. Both sets of reinforcing ribs 208 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 101. The reinforcing ribs 208 are used to further connect and fix the compression plate 201 and the L-shaped plate 101, thereby improving the connection stability between the compression plate 201 and the L-shaped plate 101. A sliding block 203 is slidably connected inside the compression plate 201. A CCD vision inspection camera 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 203. The CCD vision inspection camera 204 is used to photograph and inspect feathers when the machine starts working. An adjusting screw 202 is threadedly connected inside the sliding block 203. The adjusting screw 202 is rotatably connected to the compression plate 201. The adjusting screw 202 is used to move the sliding block 203 and the CCD vision inspection camera 204 when rotated, thereby adjusting the shooting position of the CCD vision inspection camera 204.

[0024] A worm gear 205 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating base 102. A worm 206 is meshed with the outer side of the worm gear 205. The worm 206 is rotatably connected to the L-shaped plate 101. The worm 206 is configured to drive the worm gear 205 and the rotating base 102 to rotate when rotating, thereby causing the clamping plate 105 and the feathers held by the clamping plate 105 to rotate as well, thus facilitating the imaging and inspection of different sides of the feathers. A stepper motor 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 101. The output end of the stepper motor 207 is fixedly connected to the worm 206. The stepper motor 207 is configured to drive the worm 206 to rotate when starting operation.

[0025] Each of the two sets of clamping plates 105 is rotatably connected to one side of a traction rod 108. The ends of the two traction rods 108 furthest from the clamping plates 105 are rotatably connected to a U-shaped block 109. When the U-shaped block 109 moves, it can pull the two sets of clamping plates 105 to rotate relative to or away from each other via the two sets of traction rods 108. A vertical plate 111 is fixedly connected to the top side of the L-shaped plate 101. A diagonal tie rod 112 is symmetrically fixed through the interior of the vertical plate 111. Both ends of the two sets of diagonal tie rods 112 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 101. The diagonal tie rods 112 are used to further connect and fix the vertical plate 111 and the L-shaped plate 101, thereby improving the connection stability between the vertical plate 111 and the L-shaped plate 101. A cylinder 110 is fixedly fixed through the interior of the vertical plate 111. The output end of the cylinder 110 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped block 109. The cylinder 110 is used to pull the U-shaped block 109 to move when starting operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the CCD visual inspection camera 204 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In use, the feather to be inspected is placed between two sets of rubber protrusions 106. Then, the cylinder 110 is activated, causing it to move the U-shaped block 109 away from the rotating seat 102. This allows the U-shaped block 109 to pull the two clamping plates 105 and the two rubber protrusions 106 relative to each other via two traction rods 108, thus clamping and fixing the feather in place. Then, the CCD vision inspection camera 204 is activated, allowing it to capture an image of one side of the feather being clamped. Then, the stepper motor 207 can be started, which can drive the worm gear 206 to rotate when it starts working. When the worm gear 206 rotates, it can drive the worm wheel 205 and the rotating seat 102 to rotate. When the rotating seat 102 rotates, it can drive the guide rod 104 and the two sets of clamping plates 105 to rotate, thereby causing the clamped feather to flip over and turn to the other side. Then, the CCD vision inspection camera 204 is started, which can take pictures and inspect the other side of the feather, thereby effectively improving the quality inspection effect of the feather.

[0028] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
