[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-2 The gas cylinder quick-insertion C-ring detection equipment includes a feeding fixture 1, a clamping mechanism 2 located outside the feeding fixture 1, and a conveyor line 3. A horizontal camera 4 horizontally connected to the upper end of the conveyor line 3 and a vertical camera 5 vertically connected to the upper end of the conveyor line 3 are also fixedly installed near the conveyor line 3. A defective product box 6 and a display screen 8 are also fixedly installed near the conveyor line 3. A good product baffle 7 connected to the upper end of the conveyor line 3 is also fixedly installed on the outer side near the end of the conveyor line 3. A pushing robot 61 connected to the upper surface of the conveyor line 3 is also fixedly installed on the upper end of the defective product box 6. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a gripper mechanism 21, an X-axis servo module 22, a Y-axis servo module 23, and a Z-axis servo module 24. The gripper mechanism 21 is fixed... The bottom of the Z-axis servo module 24 is connected to the X-axis servo module 22, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket. The Y-axis servo module 23 is slidably disposed on the outside of the X-axis servo module 22, and the Z-axis servo module 24 is slidably disposed on the outside of the Y-axis servo module 23. The gripper mechanism 21 is slidably disposed on the outside of the Z-axis servo module 24. Linear slide rails with different directions are fixedly disposed on the outside of the X-axis servo module 22, the Y-axis servo module 23, and the Z-axis servo module 23. Fixed sliders that are slidably connected to the linear slide rails are fixedly connected to the outside of the Y-axis servo module 23, the Z-axis servo module 24, and the gripper mechanism 21. Cylinders that drive the sliders to slide along the linear slide rails are also disposed on the outside of the X-axis servo module 3, the Y-axis servo module 4, and the Z-axis servo module 5.

[0020] Based on the above structural configuration, when using this device, the manual operator fills the unloading fixture 1 with quick-connect C-rings from the air cylinders, totaling 18*18=356 pieces. Then, the clamping mechanism 2 moves above the unloading fixture 1 and sequentially clamps the quick-connect C-rings from the air cylinders, placing them on the upper end of the conveyor line 3. (Specifically, the position of the quick-connect C-rings gripped by the gripper mechanism 21 is adjusted by sliding the X-axis servo module 22, Y-axis servo module 23, and Z-axis servo module 24 to facilitate precise and automated gripping and conveying of the quick-connect C-rings from the air cylinders.) Once the quick-connect C-rings for the gas cylinder are in place, horizontal camera 4 and vertical camera 5 take pictures. The existing visual system on the production line analyzes the inspection results based on the pictures. The control system displays OK or NG on the display screen 8 based on the inspection results. Good gas cylinder quick-connect C-rings that display OK continue to be conveyed by the conveyor line 3 and are blocked by the good product baffle 7. Defective gas cylinder quick-connect C-rings are pushed out by the pusher 61 and temporarily stored in the defective product box 6. The quick-connect C-rings for the gas cylinder can then be manually removed from the position of the good product baffle 7 for use.

[0021] Among them, the feeding fixture 1, the clamping mechanism 2, the conveyor line 3, the horizontal camera 4, and the vertical camera 5 are all fixedly installed on the ground by brackets.
