[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] First embodiment:

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment provides an online visual inspection mechanism for automotive sunroof guide rails, which includes a support mechanism 1, the support mechanism 1 including a conveyor frame 11, the conveyor frame 11 being used to support and fix the entire device;

[0031] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying component 21 and a pusher plate 23. The conveying component 21 is used to convey the guide rail, and the pusher plate 23 is used to limit and push the guide rail.

[0032] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping member 32, which is used to clamp the guide rail.

[0033] The pushing mechanism 4 includes a first pushing member 43, which is used to connect the transmission to realize the clamping member 32 clamping the guide rail;

[0034] The detection system 5 includes a vision detection component 52 and a second connector 53. The vision detection component 52 is used for visual detection of the guide rail, and the second connector 53 is used to connect the transmission to realize the movement detection of the vision detection component 52.

[0035] The function of support mechanism 1 is to support and fix the mechanisms in the device. The function of conveying mechanism 2 is to convey the guide rail and connect with other mechanisms to achieve transmission. The conveying component 21 consists of multiple pulleys connected to a conveyor belt. The pulleys are rotatably connected to the surface of the conveyor frame 11. The push plates 23 are arrayed and connected to the surface of the conveyor belt. The guide rail can be placed between two push plates 23, thereby separating adjacent guide rails and better pushing the guide rail forward during clamping. The function of clamping mechanism 3 is to clamp the guide rail. There are two clamping members 32. The relative movement of the two clamping members 32 can achieve clamping of the guide rail. The push mechanism 4... The function is to achieve relative movement of the clamping member 32 through transmission. There are two first pushers 43, which are installed at the left and right ends of the conveyor frame 11 respectively. The function of the detection system 5 is to connect the transmission to detect the guide rail. Depending on the detection requirements, different resolutions, frame rates and types of vision detection components 52 can be selected. Appropriate lenses, such as fixed-focus lenses and zoom lenses, can also be selected according to the detection accuracy requirements, field of view and working distance to ensure that the guide rail is captured clearly and accurately. There are two second connectors 53, which are connected to the left and right ends of the vision detection component 52 respectively, and the other end face is a slope.

[0036] A support frame 12 is connected to the top of the conveyor frame 11, and a first drive member 22 is connected to one end of the conveyor 21. The support frame 12 is used to support and fix the detection system 5, and the first drive member 22 is used to drive the conveyor 21 to move.

[0037] The support frame 12 is composed of multiple support rods fixedly connected to the bottom of a plate. The support rods are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor frame 11. The first driving component 22 can be a motor, an electric motor, or an internal combustion engine, preferably a motor. The first driving component 22 is connected to a pulley in the conveyor component 21. The pulley is driven to rotate by the first driving component 22, and the conveyor belt meshes with the pulley to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of the guide rail.

[0038] The surface of the clamping member 32 is connected to an elastic member 31 and a first connecting member 33. The elastic member 31 is used to reset the clamping member 32, and the first connecting member 33 is used to connect with the first pushing member 43 to realize the clamping member 32 clamping the guide rail.

[0039] The elastic element 31 can be a spring slide rod, a spring telescopic rod, or an elastic sheet, preferably a spring slide rod. There are two spring slide rods, which are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the support frame 12. The front and rear ends of the two clamping elements 32 are respectively connected to the two support frames 12. There are two first connecting elements 33, which are respectively connected to the surfaces of the two clamping elements 32. When the first connecting element 33 is not connected to the first pushing element 43, the elastic element 31 gives the two clamping elements 32 an outward pushing force. When the first pushing element 43 moves, the first pushing element 43 is connected to the inclined surface of the first connecting element 33, giving the two elastic elements 31 an inward pushing force, thereby clamping and fixing the guide rail.

[0040] The left and right ends of the conveyor frame 11 are connected to a first transmission component 41 and a second transmission component 42. The first transmission component 41 is used to drive the first pusher 43 to move back and forth, and the second transmission component 42 is used to connect the transmission to realize the movement of the first transmission component 41.

[0041] The first transmission component 41 can be a reciprocating threaded rod, a transmission belt, or a transmission chain, preferably a reciprocating threaded rod. The second transmission component 42 is composed of two meshing bevel gears. Each end of the two first transmission components 41 is connected to a second transmission component 42, and another bevel gear in the second transmission component 42 is connected to the pulley in the conveyor 21. Thus, when the conveyor 21 conveys the guide rail, it can drive the two bevel gears in the second transmission component 42 to mesh and rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the first transmission component 41 and the forward and backward movement of the first pusher 43. According to the operation of the conveyor 21 and the distance between the two adjacent push plates 23, a suitable size of the second transmission component 42 and a suitable length and pitch of the first transmission component 41 can be selected to ensure that when the guide rail moves to the bottom of the support frame 12, the first pusher 43 is just connected to the first connecting component 33 to push the elastic component 31 to move.

[0042] The surface of the vision inspection component 52 is connected to a protective box 51 and a third pusher 54. The protective box 51 is used to support, protect and limit the vision inspection component 52. The third pusher 54 is used to connect with the clamping component 32 and the second connecting component 53 to realize the movement of the vision inspection component 52 out of the interior of the protective box 51 for inspection.

[0043] The protective box 51 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the top support plate of the support frame 12, and the protective box 51 is equipped with an elastic member 31. When the first pusher 43 is not connected to the first connector 33, the visual inspection component 52 can be completely embedded in the interior of the protective box 51 under the action of the elastic member 31.

[0044] The working principle of this first embodiment is as follows:

[0045] First, the first driving component 22 is activated to drive the conveyor component 21 to move. Then, the guide rail is placed between the two push plates 23, and its rear end is connected to the surface of the push plate 23. The conveyor component 21 then drives the guide rail to move forward. During this process, the pulley in the conveyor component 21 drives the bevel gear in the second transmission component 42 to rotate and mesh. The second transmission component 42 then drives the two first transmission components 41 to rotate, causing the first push component 43 to move back and forth and connect with the first connecting component 33, giving the two elastic components 31 an inward push force. At this time, the guide rail just moves to the bottom of the support frame 12. The two elastic components 31 then clamp the guide rail, and the two elastic components 31 drive the two third push components 54 to move relative to each other and connect with the two second connecting components 53, giving the vision inspection component 52 a downward push force. The vision inspection component 52 then moves downward out of the interior of the protective box 51 and performs visual inspection on the guide rail passing through its bottom.

[0046] Second embodiment:

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The difference in the second embodiment of the online visual inspection mechanism for automotive sunroof guide rails is that the surface of the first pushing member 43 is provided with a clamping adjustment mechanism 6. The clamping adjustment mechanism 6 includes an adjusting member 61, a second driving member 62, and a moving member 63. The adjusting member 61 is used to drive and adjust the position of the moving member 63, the second driving member 62 is used to drive the adjusting member 61 to move, and the moving member 63 is used to clamp guide rails of different sizes.

[0048] The connection between the adjusting member 61 and the second driving member 62 can be a threaded rod drive, an electric telescopic rod, or a hydraulic cylinder, preferably a threaded rod drive. The two adjusting members 61 are movably connected to the tops of the two first pushing members 43, and the two second driving members 62 are fixedly connected to one end of the two adjusting members 61. The moving member 63 is U-shaped and is movably connected to the tops of the two first pushing members 43 and connected to the two adjusting members 61. By driving the two adjusting members 61 to rotate through the second driving member 62, the two moving members 63 can be driven to move towards or relative to each other, thereby changing the distance of the moving member 63 pressing against the first connecting member 33.

[0049] The working principle of this second embodiment is as follows:

[0050] Before testing, based on the width of the guide rail, the second driving members 62 on the surfaces of the two first pushing members 43 are activated to drive the two adjusting members 61 to move. The adjusting members 61 then drive the two moving members 63 to move towards or relative to each other until they move a suitable distance. Thus, during testing, the moving members 63 connect with the first connecting member 33, which can push the clamping member 32 to move relative to each other to different distances, thereby achieving the clamping of guide rails of different sizes. In this second embodiment, by driving the adjusting members 61 to move through the second driving member 62, the distance between the two moving members 63 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the clamping of guide rails of different sizes.

[0051] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
