[0002] A pencil cap, also known as a pencil sleeve or pencil cover, is a metal part that fits over one end of a pencil (usually the eraser end), and is mostly made of aluminum alloy. Its main functions are: securing the eraser: firmly fixing the eraser to one end of the pencil, preventing it from falling off during use; decorative appeal: different shapes and surface treatments of aluminum caps can enhance the overall aesthetics and sophistication of the pencil, improving the product's visual appeal and perceived quality; and pencil protection: providing some protection to the pencil end, preventing damage during daily use, transportation, or storage.

[0003] The auxiliary testing device for producing aluminum pencil hoops is mainly used to ensure that the quality of the aluminum hoops meets the production standards. It generally tests the following aspects: dimensional accuracy, appearance defects, etc.

[0004] In the existing technology, during the pencil production process, it is not possible to inspect whether the pattern surface of pencil aluminum hoops of different diameters is standard, which affects the production efficiency. Therefore, we have made an improvement and proposed a fully automatic processing auxiliary inspection device for pencil aluminum hoops. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in current pencil production designs where the patterned surfaces of aluminum hoops of different diameters cannot be inspected to ensure they meet standards, thus affecting production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully automated auxiliary inspection device for pencil aluminum hoop processing was developed to address the aforementioned issues.

[0008] The application is as follows:

[0009] The fully automatic auxiliary inspection device for pencil aluminum hoop processing includes an auxiliary inspection instrument and an aluminum hoop conveyor belt. The upper end of the auxiliary inspection instrument is equipped with an inspection rod, the lower end of the inspection rod is equipped with an empty slot and a positioning rod, the inner end of the empty slot is equipped with a sliding rod, the upper end of the sliding rod is equipped with a linkage spring, the upper and lower ends of the sliding rod are respectively equipped with a positioning seat and a linkage ring, a linkage rod group and an inspection block are connected between the linkage ring and the positioning seat, the two ends of the inspection block are equipped with linkage inclined rods, the outer end of the linkage inclined rod is equipped with an inclined groove, the outer end of the inspection block is equipped with a contact inspection plate, and the outer end of the inspection block is equipped with a vision inspection cover.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the detection rod and the positioning rod are fixedly connected. The positioning rods are arranged in a circular array along the lower end of the detection rod. The positioning rods are movably connected to the detection block through a linkage inclined rod and an inclined groove. The linkage inclined rod is fixed to the outer surfaces of both ends of the detection block.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer end of the linkage rod slides against the inclined groove, the inclined groove is embedded in both ends of the positioning rod, the positioning seat is fixed at the lower end of the empty groove, and the linkage ring is fixed at the tail end of the slide rod.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning seat and the upper end of the detection block, and the linkage ring and the lower end of the detection block are movably connected by a linkage rod group, and the outer end of the detection block is fixedly connected to the contact detection plate.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the contact detection plate is connected to the auxiliary detector via signal connection, and the outer end of the detection block is connected to the vision inspection cover via signal connection.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer end of the visual inspection cover is provided with an electric push rod, which moves back and forth along the auxiliary inspection instrument.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In the scheme of this application:

[0017] By moving the detection rod downwards, the linkage group at the outer end of the slide rod pushes the detection block outwards, which can automatically detect pencil hoops of different diameters. When the detection block moves outwards, the contact detection plate located at the outer end of the detection block contacts the inner pattern of the pencil hoop to detect whether its uneven surface is qualified. At the outer end of the pencil hoop, the external pattern is detected by a visual inspection cover. This ensures that the inner and outer patterns of the pencil hoop are detected simultaneously, ensuring the processing and leaving standards of the pencil hoop and improving the efficiency of leaving the factory.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely illustrates some embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments, features, and technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a fully automatic auxiliary inspection device for pencil aluminum hoop processing, including an auxiliary inspection instrument 1 and an aluminum hoop conveyor belt 2. The upper end of the auxiliary inspection instrument 1 is provided with an inspection rod 3, the lower end of the inspection rod 3 is provided with an empty slot and a positioning rod, the inner end of the empty slot is provided with a sliding rod 4, the upper end of the sliding rod 4 is provided with a linkage spring 5, the upper and lower ends of the sliding rod 4 are respectively provided with a positioning seat 6 and a linkage ring 7, a linkage rod group 8 and an inspection block 9 are connected between the linkage ring 7 and the positioning seat 6, the two ends of the inspection block 9 are provided with linkage inclined rods 11, the outer end of the linkage inclined rods 11 is provided with an inclined groove 12, the outer end of the inspection block 9 is provided with a contact inspection plate 10, and the outer end of the inspection block 9 is provided with a visual inspection cover 13.

[0029] The detection rod 3 and the positioning rod are fixedly connected. The positioning rods are arranged in a ring array along the lower end of the detection rod 3. The positioning rods are movably connected to the detection block 9 through the linkage inclined rod 11 and the inclined groove 12. The linkage inclined rod 11 is fixed on the outer surface of both ends of the detection block 9.

[0030] The outer end of the linkage diagonal rod 11 slides against the inclined groove 12. The inclined groove 12 is embedded in both ends of the positioning rod. The positioning seat 6 is fixed at the lower end of the empty groove. The linkage ring 7 is fixed at the tail end of the slide rod 4.

[0031] The positioning seat 6 and the upper end of the detection block 9, and the linkage ring 7 and the lower end of the detection block 9 are movably connected through the linkage rod group 8, respectively, and the outer end of the detection block 9 is fixedly connected to the contact detection plate 10.

[0032] The contact detection board 10 is connected to the auxiliary detector 1 via signal connection, and the outer end of the detection block 9 is connected to the vision inspection cover 13 via signal connection.

[0033] Once the contact detection board 10 is successfully attached to the uneven surface, the data acquisition system is activated. The system will collect the contact status information of each contact point in real time, that is, whether each contact point is in contact with the uneven surface, and convert these analog signals into digital signals for storage to ensure that sufficient and complete data is obtained.

[0034] During the data acquisition process, it is essential to closely monitor the operational status of the acquisition system to ensure the accuracy and stability of the data acquisition. If any issues such as abnormal signals or acquisition interruptions occur, the cause must be investigated promptly and the acquisition process should be repeated.

[0035] The collected data is transmitted to analysis software on a computer. The software first preprocesses the data, including removing noise and filling in missing values, to improve data quality.

[0036] Then, the data is analyzed according to preset acceptance criteria. These criteria are usually based on product design requirements, such as stipulating that all contacts in certain critical areas must be in contact, or allowing a certain percentage of non-critical contacts to be uncontacted but still considered acceptable. The software compares and calculates the collected data according to these criteria to determine whether the embossed pattern meets the requirements.

[0037] After the analysis is complete, the software will generate a detailed test report, which includes the test results (pass or fail), contact statistics for each contact point, and information on potential problem areas. If the test result is fail, the report will also provide relevant analysis suggestions to help operators identify the problem and take appropriate corrective measures.

[0038] The existing software for detecting uneven surfaces synchronizes the data information detected by the contact detection board 10 to the background, generates a planar image, compares it with the corresponding standard pattern, and thus realizes the pattern detection of uneven surfaces.

[0039] The outer end of the visual inspection cover 13 is equipped with an electric push rod, which moves back and forth along the auxiliary inspection instrument 1.

[0040] The visual inspection cover 13 uses existing visual inspection technology, which uses a visual camera and visual inspection software for inspection. In this case, it is sufficient to detect the appearance pattern.

[0041] In use, the detection rod 3 moves down to push the linkage rod group 8 at the outer end of the slide rod 4, which in turn pushes the detection block 9 outward. When the detection block 9 moves outward, the contact detection plate at the outer end of the detection block 9 contacts the inner pattern of the pencil aluminum hoop to detect whether its uneven surface is qualified. Furthermore, the external pattern is detected by the visual inspection cover 13 at the outer end of the pencil aluminum hoop. This ensures that the inner and outer patterns of the pencil aluminum hoop are detected simultaneously, ensuring that the pencil aluminum hoop is standardized when it leaves the factory, thus improving the factory efficiency.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
