[0023] The embodiment of the present disclosure aims to solve the problems of low detection efficiency and single direction detection of the existing visual detection equipment. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a visual detection equipment for fastener key parameters, which comprises a distribution structure 1, a workbench 2 and a detection structure 3. The workbench 2 is fixedly installed below a storage room 21. The workbench 2 is fixedly installed with a distribution structure 1. The workbench 2 is fixedly installed with a detection structure 3 on the surface. The distribution mechanism comprises an upper conveying belt 11, a material distribution body 12 and a lower conveying belt 13. The upper conveying belt 11 is fixedly inserted into the upper part of the storage room 21. The upper conveying belt 11 is fixedly installed with a material distribution body 12 of inverted Y-shaped structure below the end. The lower conveying belt 13 is symmetrically arranged below the material distribution body 12. The workbench 2 is provided with an operation position 22 on any symmetrical side. The storage room 21 is fixedly installed with a storage frame 211 near the operation position 22 at the bottom. The end of the lower conveying belt 13 is located above the storage frame 211.

[0024] The one end of the upper conveying belt 11 is used for conveying the completed fasteners to the front process, so as to convey the fasteners to the distribution body 12, the distribution body 12 is in the shape of inverted Y as a whole, so as to distribute the fasteners conveyed by the upper conveying belt 11 to two lower conveying belts 13 respectively, and then convey the fasteners to the storage frame 211 at the operating position 22 through the lower conveying belt 13, so that the completed fasteners enter the storage frame 211 for storage, and then the operator can take the fasteners to the workbench 2 to cooperate with the detection structure 3 to detect the appearance of the fasteners, so that the fasteners can be conveyed to the multi-station, and the multi-station can detect the size, surface defects such as cracks and shape of the fasteners at the same time.

[0025] The workbench 2 is rotatably provided with a bearing ring 23 in the middle, the bearing ring 23 is rotatably provided with a clamping tool 24, the bearing ring 23 is fixedly provided with a first tooth 231 on the surface, the workbench 2 is fixedly provided with a first motor 25 at the bottom, the output shaft of the first motor 25 is coaxially fixedly connected with a first gear 251, the first gear 251 is engaged with the first tooth 231, the clamping tool 24 is provided with a second tooth 241 at the bottom, the bearing ring 23 is coaxially provided with a driving body 26, the driving body 26 is provided with a third tooth 261 on the surface, the second tooth 241 and the third tooth 261 are engaged with each other, the driving body 26 is fixedly provided with a fourth tooth 262 on the lower surface, the storage room 21 is fixedly provided with a second motor 27 at the bottom, the output shaft of the second motor 27 is coaxially fixedly connected with a second gear 271, and the second gear 271 is engaged with the fourth tooth 262.

[0026] The inner wall of the clamping tool 24 is fixedly provided with an infrared detector, which is used for detecting whether the fastener is put in or not, so as to ensure that all the clamping tools 24 are put in the fastener before starting.

[0027] The detection structure 3 comprises a vertical arm 31, a CCD camera 32 and a fill light 33, the vertical arm 31 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 2 through bolts, the CCD camera 32 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the vertical arm 31, and the fill light 33 is fixedly installed on the surface of the vertical arm 31 and inclined towards the bearing ring 23.

[0028] It should be noted that the CCD camera 32 can also be selectively slidably or rotatably installed on the vertical arm 31, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the height position and angle of the CCD camera 32, thereby facilitating the flexibility of the CCD camera 32 in detecting the fastener, and improving the detection precision by detecting the fastener at the appropriate position.

[0029] The operator at the operating position 22 takes out the fastener and puts it into the clamping tool 24. After the infrared detector detects that all the clamping tools 24 are put into the fastener, the first motor 25 is started after several seconds. The first motor 25 drives the bearing ring 23 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the first gear 251 and the first tooth 231. The rotation of the bearing ring 23 drives the clamping tool 24 to rotate, so as to move from the operating position 22 to the CCD camera 32 for detection. After the clamping tool 24 moves to the detection structure 3, the second motor 27 is started. The second motor 27 drives the driving body 26 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the second gear 271 and the fourth tooth 262. After the rotation of the driving body 26, the third tooth 261 at the upper part is engaged with the second tooth 241 at the bottom of the clamping tool 24, so that the clamping tool 24 rotates during the rotation of the driving body 26. Thus, the CCD camera 32 can detect the fastener from above and below and horizontally, thereby reducing the number of CCD cameras 32 and avoiding detection dead angles, and improving the detection efficiency and accuracy of the fastener.

[0030] The clamping tool 24 is made of a material with high transparency and high impact resistance, such as polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene or polypropylene, so that the CCD camera 32 can directly detect the fastener in the clamping tool 24 during the rotation of the clamping tool 24, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the fastener.

[0031] The top and bottom of the clamping tool 24 are transparent structures, so that the CCD camera 32 can directly detect the top and bottom of the fastener.

[0032] The clamping tool 24 is a funnel structure for visual detection of the bolt, so that the bolt can be directly put into the clamping tool 24 and clamped. The transparent material around the clamping tool 24 and the transparent structure at the top and bottom ensure that the CCD camera 32 can directly detect the clamping tool 24 during the rotation of the clamping tool 24. The clamping tool 24 can also adopt any existing structure for clamping fasteners.

[0033] The electronic weighing scale 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage frame 211 and is electrically connected with the upper conveying belt 11 and the lower conveying belt 13. The electronic weighing scale 212 is used to detect the number of fasteners in the storage frame 211. Since the same model of fasteners is detected in a single batch, the weight of each fastener is the same. The number of fasteners in the storage frame 211 can be obtained by detecting the weight of the entire storage frame 211. When the fasteners stored in the storage frame 211 reach a predetermined amount, the electronic weighing scale 212 transmits an electrical signal to the control box, and the control box controls the upper conveying belt 11 to stop working, thereby avoiding the fasteners stored in the storage frame 211 from falling to the ground due to an excessive amount.

[0034] The CCD camera 32 is divided into an upper camera 321, a horizontal camera 322 and a lower camera 323. The vertical arm 31 is in a "コ" shape structure and penetrates through the workbench 2 and is located on the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping tool 24. The upper camera 321 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the vertical arm 31. The horizontal camera 322 is fixedly installed on the middle part of the vertical arm 31. The lower camera 323 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the vertical arm 31. The upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 are all directed towards the clamping tool 24. When the clamping tool 24 moves to the CCD camera 32, the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 simultaneously perform visual detection on the self-rotating bolt, and then analyze whether the key parameters such as the size, surface defects (e.g. cracks) and shape of the bolt are qualified.

[0035] The upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 are symmetrically arranged in at least two groups on both sides of the bearing ring 23. Each group of the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 is located on the side of the operating position 22 to form a detection position, and each group of the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 corresponds to each operating position 22. When the operator puts the fastener into the clamp tool in the operating position 22, the first motor 25 drives the bearing ring 23 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the first gear 251 and the first tooth 231. The rotation of the bearing ring 23 drives the clamping tool 24 to rotate, so that the clamping tool 24 rotates from the operating position 22 to the detection position. Then, the second motor 27 drives the driving body 26 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the second gear 271 and the fourth tooth 262. After the rotation of the driving body 26, the third tooth 261 on the upper part of the driving body 26 engages with the second tooth 241 on the bottom of the clamping tool 24. Therefore, the clamping tool 24 rotates during the rotation of the driving body 26, so that the fastener in the clamp tool can be located in the detection position and be detected by the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323.

[0036] In use, the fasteners produced by the previous process are first conveyed by the upper conveying belt 11, and then conveyed to the end part of the distribution body 12, and then distributed into the lower conveying belt 13, and then conveyed to the storage frame 211 at the operating position 22 by the lower conveying belt 13, and then taken by the operator. The operator places the fasteners in the storage frame 211 into the clamping tool, and after the infrared sensor detects that all the clamping tools are filled with the fasteners, the first motor 25 is started after several seconds, the first motor 25 drives the bearing ring 23 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the first gear 251 and the first tooth 231, and the bearing ring 23 drives the clamping tool 24 to rotate, so as to move from the operating position 22 to the detection position of the CCD camera 32.

[0037] After the clamping tool 24 moves to the detection position, the second motor 27 is started, the second motor 27 drives the driving body 26 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the second gear 271 and the fourth tooth 262, and after the driving body 26 rotates, the third tooth 261 on the upper part and the second tooth 241 on the bottom of the clamping tool 24 are engaged with each other, so that the clamping tool 24 rotates during the rotation of the driving body 26, and then the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 can simultaneously detect the fasteners from the top and bottom and the horizontal side, so as to reduce the number of CCD cameras 32 and avoid the detection dead angle, and then the detection efficiency and accuracy of the fasteners can be improved.

[0038] After the detection of the upper camera 321, the horizontal camera 322 and the lower camera 323 at the detection position is completed, the first motor 25 is started again, the first motor 25 drives the bearing ring 23 to rotate through the mutual engagement of the first gear 251 and the first tooth 231, and the bearing ring 23 drives the clamping tool 24 to rotate, so as to move the tool clamp from the detection position to the operating position 22, and then the operator takes out the detected fasteners in the clamping tool, and replaces the detected fasteners in the clamping tool with the undetected fasteners in the storage frame 211 to start the next round of detection, so as to complete the detection of the fasteners.

[0039] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model, and various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
