Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air spring testing equipment, and in particular to a visual inspection device for defects in air spring airbags. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global demand for environmental protection and energy conservation, traditional automotive deceleration systems (such as mechanical braking systems) have many shortcomings in terms of energy consumption, cost, and performance. Air springs, as a new type of deceleration technology, are gradually gaining attention due to their advantages such as lightweight design, high efficiency, and safety, as the market increasingly demands higher levels of comfort, durability, and safety in vehicles.

[0003] With the development of automotive technology, air springs have become widely used in automobiles. Currently, the inspection of air spring defects is generally done manually. Traditional manual inspection has disadvantages such as low efficiency and poor accuracy, and it cannot be carried out continuously for long periods of time. Therefore, there is a need for an air spring defect inspection device capable of inspecting different types of air springs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome at least one of the problems mentioned above, this utility model provides a visual inspection device for air spring airbag defects, which simultaneously inspects the inside and outside of the airbag, fully acquires image information from all sides of the airbag, and improves inspection accuracy.

[0006] The base is used to fix the air spring and provide lifting and lowering movement;

[0007] The endoscope is mounted on the base and can rotate. An air spring airbag sleeve holds the endoscope in the middle, and the endoscope acquires images from inside the air spring airbag.

[0008] An external mirror is mounted on a base, which has an annular slide rail located at the outer edge of the air spring bladder. The external mirror can move on the annular slide rail to capture images of the outside of the air spring bladder.

[0009] The base includes a base, a support column, a linear lifting rail, and a clamping ring seat. The support column is located on the upper part of one side of the base, the linear lifting rail is located on the upper part of the support column, and the annular slide rail is located on one side of the support column. A lifting slider is provided on the linear lifting rail, and a clamping ring for installing an air spring is provided on the lifting slider, which fixes the air spring.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting drive device is also included.

[0011] Preferably, the base has a support rod for mounting the endoscope in the middle, and the support rod is equipped with a rotation drive device for controlling the rotation of the endoscope.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: a visual inspection device for air spring airbag defects, which inspects all sides of the airbag. Only the motion control device needs to support the clamping ring and moving parts to acquire surface images of the airbag's interior and exterior, improving sorting efficiency. The airbag only needs to move up and down, allowing for simultaneous inspection of both the interior and exterior, fully acquiring image information from all sides of the airbag. This facilitates the inspection agency's judgment of the airbag's quality based on the images, improving inspection accuracy.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 The air spring airbag defect visual inspection device shown consists of a base, on which an endoscope 61 and an exoscope 62 are installed. After the air spring is installed, the endoscope 61 and the exoscope 62 respectively collect and inspect the inside and outside of the air spring airbag, and provide a motion control device to collect image data from all directions.

[0025] Its endoscope 61 and external scope 62 are industrial cameras.

[0026] The base is used to fix the air spring and provide lifting movement, allowing the image acquisition points of the endoscope 61 and the exoscope 62 to correspond to different height positions. The base consists of a base 10, a support column 3, a linear lifting rail 2, and a clamping ring 5. The support column 3 is located on the upper part of one side of the base 10, the linear lifting rail 2 is located on the upper part of the support column 3, and the annular slide rail 8 is located on one side of the support column 3. A lifting slider 1 is provided on the linear lifting rail 2, and a clamping ring 5 is provided on the lifting slider 1 for installing the air spring. The clamping ring 5 fixes the air spring.

[0027] In one embodiment, the lifting slider 1 is controlled to move up and down by a lifting drive device.

[0028] The clamping ring 5 has multiple grippers 4 around its circumference for clamping the air spring. See [reference needed]. Figure 2 Different types of airbags 50 can be secured by extending and retracting the gripper 4. In one embodiment, the gripper 4 is driven by a motor, and the control system controls the extension and retraction of the gripper 4 to secure different types of air spring airbags 50.

[0029] In this embodiment, the endoscope 61 is mounted on the base and can rotate. The air spring bladder 50 covers the endoscope 61 in the middle. The endoscope 61 collects images inside the air spring bladder 50. The base 10 has a seat rod 9 in the middle for mounting the endoscope 61. The seat rod 9 is equipped with a rotation drive device to control the rotation of the endoscope 61 and support the industrial camera to rotate inside the air spring bladder 50.

[0030] In this embodiment, the external mirror 62 is mounted on a base, which has an annular slide rail 8 located at the outer edge of the air spring bladder 50. The external mirror 62 can move along the annular slide rail 8 to capture images of the outside of the air spring bladder 50. One side of the annular slide rail 8 has an extension block 81 connected to one side of the support column 3. A translational sliding block 7 is provided on the annular slide rail 8, and the external mirror 62 is mounted on the translational sliding block 7 with its imaging direction pointing towards the center of the annular slide rail 8.

It inspects all sides of the airbag. As long as the motion control device supports the operation of the clamping ring and moving parts, it can acquire surface images of the inside and outside of the airbag, improving sorting efficiency. The airbag only needs to move up and down, allowing for simultaneous inspection of both the inside and outside of the airbag, fully acquiring image information from all sides. This facilitates the inspection agency in determining whether the airbag is qualified based on the images, improving inspection accuracy.

[0033] Its industrial control system also includes a display device for displaying image data collected by endoscopes and exoscopes.
