Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inner ring carbon strip processing technology, specifically to an inner ring carbon strip testing device. Background Technology
[0002] With modern industry placing increasingly higher demands on motor performance and reliability, quality control of key internal components of motors has become particularly important. The inner carbon strip, as one of the core components of the motor slip ring system, directly affects the stability and efficiency of motor operation.
[0003] Traditionally, the inspection of inner ring carbon strips has relied mainly on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human factors, resulting in inaccurate and inconsistent test results. Manual inspection requires a lot of time and manpower, especially when facing mass production, as the inspection speed cannot meet the demand for rapid response. Due to factors such as human fatigue and visual limitations, manual inspection is difficult to maintain long-term consistency and high accuracy, and is prone to missed detections or misjudgments. Traditional inspection methods can usually only be used to inspect a single parameter, such as size, surface quality, and conductivity, which means that each inspection item needs to be performed separately, increasing complexity and time costs.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and 9The inner ring carbon strip detection device in this embodiment includes an operating table 1, on which a conveyor 7, a material transfer component 2, a vision inspection component 3, an outer cone inspection component 4, a cleaning component 5, and a sorting component 6 are installed.
[0028] In the above structure, the product to be inspected is moved to the designated position by the conveyor, and then the product is sent to the vision inspection component by the transfer component. Therefore, the transfer component enables automated feeding operation. At the same time, the vision inspection component completes the detection of external damage to the product. Then, it is moved to the outer cone detection component to complete the detection of the outer cone shape of the product. Then, it is sequentially moved to the cleaning component and the sorting component to clean the surface and inside of the product, improve the quality of the product, and finally complete the separation and placement of the superior and inferior products.
[0029] A baffle 8 is fixed at the tail end of the conveyor table 7, and the baffle 8 has a V-shape on the side facing the head end of the conveyor table 7. When the conveyor table transports products, the products will be moved into the V-shaped opening of the baffle, which can limit the product and prevent the product from deviating.
[0030] like Figure 2 The material transfer assembly 2 includes a stand 21 fixed on the operating table 1. A movable plate 22 is slidably connected to the front of the stand 21, and a push cylinder 23 connected to the movable plate 22 is installed on the top. Four sets of downward push cylinders 24 are installed on the surface of the movable plate 22. A small clamping cylinder 26 is installed at the ejection end of the rightmost downward push cylinder 24. An arc-shaped block 27 is fixed at the clamping end of the small clamping cylinder 26. The arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped block 27 faces outward. A large clamping cylinder 25 is installed at the ejection end of the other three sets of downward push cylinders 24. When the product is moved into the baffle, the two arc-shaped blocks are moved to the inside of the product by the cooperation of the push cylinder and the rightmost lower push cylinder. The small clamp cylinder drives the arc-shaped blocks to open, thereby fixing the product. Thus, the product can be taken out from the conveyor and placed into the vision inspection component. At the same time, the remaining lower push cylinders and the corresponding large clamp cylinders will also cooperate with the push cylinder to move the product to the outer cone inspection component, cleaning component and sorting component in sequence, realizing the function of automatic material transfer and loading.
[0031] like Figure 3 The visual inspection component 3 includes a stand 31 fixed on the operating table 1, a visual inspection device 34 installed thereon, and a drive motor 32 installed below and passing through the stand 31. The drive end of the drive motor 32 is fixed with a placement plate 33. A boss is formed on the top of the placement plate 33. A placement area is formed between the placement plate 33 and the boss. Therefore, the transfer component will first place the product in the placement area on the placement plate. The boss extends to the inside of the product to play a limiting role. Then, the drive motor rotates and cooperates with the visual inspection device to complete the detection of damage on the outside of the product.
[0032] like Figure 4-5 The external cone detection assembly 4 includes a frame 41 and a base 47 fixed on the operating table 1. A cylinder 48 is fixed to the top of the base 47, and an upper cylinder 49 is installed at the bottom. A frustum cylinder 410 extending into the cylinder 48 is fixed to the ejector end of the upper cylinder 49. An inner plate 411 is installed on the inner side of the cylinder 48. Three openings are provided on the outer side of the inner plate 411. An L-shaped plate 412 extending to the top of the cylinder 48 is hinged in the openings. A notch is provided on the side of the L-shaped plate 412 opposite to the inner wall of the cylinder 48. A convex ring is formed on the top of the cylinder 48. A placement area is also formed between the opening of the cylinder 48 and the convex ring. When the cross-section of the L-shaped plate 412 is in its natural state, it extends to halfway above the edge of the opening of the cylinder 48. A through-shaft cylinder 42 is also installed on the frame 41. An upper plate 44 is fixed to the top of the through-shaft cylinder 42. A column 46 passes through the upper plate 44. A limiting plate 45 is fixed to the top of the column 46 and is fixed to the top of the piston rod of the through-shaft cylinder 42. An inner conical disk 43 opposite to the cylinder 48 is fixed to the bottom of the piston rod of the through-shaft cylinder 42. The inner side of the inner conical disk 43 is conical.
[0033] Initially, the top cylinder drives the truncated cylinder upward, squeezing the three sets of L-shaped plates. This causes the three sets of L-shaped plates to converge inward, thus the transfer assembly moves the product onto the cylinder. The convex ring extends to the inner limit, allowing the product to move left and right. After the product is placed, the truncated cylinder retracts. Because the bottom of the L-shaped plates has a notch, the center of the L-shaped plates is at the top. Therefore, the three sets of L-shaped plates move in opposite directions, allowing the cross-section to move above the product for limit. During the resetting process of the inner conical plate, the product moves. Thus, through the cross-section of the L-shaped plates, the product can be separated from the inner conical plate by the limit. Then, the through-shaft cylinder drives the inner conical plate downward, and the inner cone completes the inspection of whether the outer cone of the product is qualified. At the same time, the column and the limit plate provide stability for the through-shaft cylinder to drive the inner conical plate to move up and down.
[0034] like Figure 6-7The cleaning component 5 includes a side frame 51 fixed to the operating table 1 and a lower cylinder 56 through which it is fixed. A cross-shaped post 57 is fixed inside the lower cylinder 56. The bottom of the cross-shaped post 57 is cross-shaped, and a column extending upwards from the center is formed. A support plate 58 is fixed to the top of the column. The support plate 58 is cross-shaped, and each of its four ends has a notch. A downward-pushing cylinder 52 and a pair of guide rods 53 are installed on the top of the side frame 51. The piston rod of the downward-pushing cylinder 52 is fixed to an upper cylinder 54 opposite to the lower cylinder 56. The upper cylinder 54 is also fixed to the guide rods 53. An air duct 55 is installed inside the upper cylinder 54. The notches on the support plate provide support and limit the product's movement. The downward-pushing cylinder moves the upper cylinder downwards, improving stability under the guidance of the guide rods until the upper and lower cylinders are in contact, thus enclosing the product. The air duct then cleans impurities from the outside of the product, improving its quality.
[0035] like Figure 8 The sorting assembly 6 includes a side-push cylinder 65 hinged to the operating table 1, a rotating shaft 66 fixed to the operating table 1, and a support cylinder 69. Two retaining rings 67 are fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 66, and a feeding tray 68 located between the two retaining rings 67 is rotatably connected. The feeding tray 68 is L-shaped, and its horizontal plate is located above the support cylinder 69 and in contact with the piston rod of the support cylinder 69. Three sets of strips 610 are fixed on the surface of the feeding tray 68, and the three sets of strips 610 form two placement areas on the feeding tray 68. After the product passes through the cleaning process, the transfer assembly places the product into one of the sections on the feeding tray. Then, the support cylinder retracts, and the feeding tray tilts due to its cross-sectional weight, allowing the product to be discharged. Simultaneously, when a defective product is placed in, the side-push cylinder pushes the feeding tray to move on the rotating shaft. Two retaining rings restrict the pushing position of the feeding tray, ensuring that the placement section is opposite to the defective product collection area, while also ensuring that there is always one placement section opposite to the qualified product collection area. When the position of the feeding tray is adjusted, the position of the placement section also changes accordingly. Finally, the product sorting and unloading is completed by the retraction of the support cylinder.
[0036] Further explanation: A support plate 61 is fixed to the right side of the operating table 1, and a pair of side plates 62 are fixed to the top. The cross-section of the support plate 61 is inclined. A slide 63, which is fixed to the support plate 61, is fixed between the two side plates 62. The slide 63 is inclined, and there are three sets of flow channels in the slide 63. The length of the middle set is greater than the length of the other two sets. A stop block 64 is fixed to the end of the longer flow channel. When the product is in the placement area of the feeding tray, the feeding tray is moved by the side-push cylinder. This can adjust the placement area to be aligned with the shorter flow channel of the slide, while also ensuring that one of the placement areas is aligned with the longer flow channel in the middle. Therefore, under the action of the slide, the shorter flow channel will guide the unqualified products out, while the longer flow channel will guide the qualified products down through the stop block for easy collection later.
[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0038] The product is moved to the baffle via a conveyor. A push cylinder then moves the moving plate forward until the curved block is positioned above the inside of the product. A corresponding lower cylinder then moves the small clamping cylinder downwards until the curved block is inside the product. The small clamping cylinder then opens, bringing the curved block close to the inside of the product, thus securing it. The push and lower cylinders work together to place the product to the upper limit of the placement tray. A drive motor rotates the placement tray, and a vision inspection device detects damage to the outer side of the product. This process is repeated. With the help of a large clamping cylinder, the inspected product is clamped and moved to the upper limit of the cylinder. Finally, an upper cylinder moves the cylinder back, and the three L-shaped plates move outwards. The movement allows the cross-section to be moved to the upper limit of the product. Then, the through-shaft cylinder drives the inner cone plate to move down, thus enabling the taper of the outer side of the product to be detected through the inner cone plate. Therefore, two sets of detections can be performed on one machine at the same time. The large clamp cylinder will then move the product to the carrier plate for placement. The downward push cylinder drives the upper cylinder to move down, so that the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder fit together, covering the product inside. The air duct can then clean the impurities on the outside of the product, improving the product quality. Subsequently, the large clamp cylinder will move the cleaned product to the placement area of the feeding tray. Then, the side push cylinder pushes the feeding tray to move, which can change the connection between the placement area and the slide. Therefore, qualified and unqualified products can be moved together to the designated slide for collection as needed.
