Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thermos cup production, specifically relating to a thermos cup size detection device suitable for dual-station operation. Background Technology

[0002] Insulated water bottles, a common household item, maintain the temperature of their contents for extended periods, making them popular for their convenience in serving hot or cold beverages. During the production of insulated water bottles, various parameters, such as dimensions, are inspected to improve product quality. Due to the numerous dimensional parameters, visual inspection equipment is typically used to enhance efficiency. However, most existing visual inspection equipment is only compatible with single-station production lines, resulting in relatively low efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the patent document with publication number CN214502363U, a visual inspection device is disclosed, including a rotating positioning disk, a visual inspection mechanism and a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism picks up the thermos cups and places them on the positioning turntable, which then transports the thermos cups to the visual inspection mechanism for inspection. However, the feeding mechanism of this inspection device can only pick up thermos cups from one station, resulting in low inspection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model proposes a size detection device for thermos cups with two workstations. The device is located between the transfer robots on the thermos cup production line, with the transfer robots on both sides of the detection device. The detection mechanism is symmetrically arranged and corresponds to the transfer robots, making the detection device suitable for the thermos cup production line with two workstations and improving the detection efficiency of the device.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: A size detection device for thermos cups suitable for dual-station production lines is installed between two transfer robots on a dual-station thermos cup production line; it includes a frame; the frame is equipped with a detection device, which includes two symmetrically arranged detection mechanisms; on the one hand, by placing the detection device between the transfer robots on the thermos cup production line, the transfer robots are positioned on both sides of the detection device, avoiding interference with the movement of the transfer robots, thus eliminating the need for the transfer robots to avoid obstacles during movement, improving the loading and unloading speed of thermos cups, and consequently improving the detection speed; on the other hand, the symmetrically arranged detection mechanisms adapt the detection device to the dual-station production line, further improving the detection efficiency.

[0006] Each testing mechanism includes a first testing component and a second testing component arranged vertically, as well as a first adjustment component and a second adjustment component corresponding to the first and second testing components, respectively. The first and second testing components drive the first and second testing components to move longitudinally, so that the testing ranges of the first and second testing components partially overlap and cover the thermos cup. The first and second adjustment components are used to adjust the testing ranges of the first and second testing components, so that the testing mechanism can be applied to thermos cups of different sizes, thereby improving the compatibility and practicality of the testing mechanism. By partially overlapping the testing ranges of the first and second testing components, the mechanism prevents some dimensions of the thermos cup from being missed, thus improving the reliability of the testing mechanism.

[0007] The detection device also includes a light source assembly, which is located between the two detection mechanisms and includes light-emitting surfaces on both sides, which face the two detection mechanisms respectively. The light source assembly is used to illuminate the thermos cup during detection, making it easier for the detection mechanisms to capture the outline of the thermos cup, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanisms.

[0008] The detection device also includes positioning components corresponding to the detection mechanism. The positioning components are located between the light-emitting surface and the detection mechanism, so that the thermos cup is positioned between the light-emitting surface and the detection mechanism during detection. This causes the light source component to form backlight. By using the backlight, the outline of the thermos cup can be illuminated while the body of the thermos cup is darkened, thus creating a strong color difference and making the outline of the thermos cup clearer. This further improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning component includes a driving unit, and the output end of the driving unit is provided with a positioning member. The positioning member rotates at a constant speed under the drive of the driving unit. By rotating the positioning member at a constant speed, the thermos cup rotates with the positioning member during inspection, thereby enabling the inspection mechanism to inspect all dimensions around the thermos cup, avoiding omissions and misjudgments, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection mechanism.

[0010] Specifically, the positioning component includes an upwardly protruding positioning boss, the top of which gradually slopes inward from bottom to top to form a guide portion. When the positioning component positions the thermos cup, the outer wall of the positioning boss abuts against the inner wall of the thermos cup. The guide portion guides the thermos cup during positioning, preventing positioning failure due to dimensional errors in the thermos cup, thus improving the convenience and reliability of positioning. When the outer wall of the positioning boss abuts against the inner wall of the thermos cup, a long pin positioning is formed between the positioning boss and the thermos cup, preventing the thermos cup from tilting during positioning and improving positioning accuracy.

[0011] Preferably, the detection mechanism further includes a mounting frame, which comprises a plurality of parallel guide rods slidably connected to the first detection component and the second detection component. The guide rods guide the first and second detection components during adjustment, ensuring the direction of movement of the first and second detection components and improving the ease of adjustment.

[0012] Specifically, both the first and second detection components are equipped with locking members that are adapted to the guide rod. When the first and second detection components are adjusted to their proper positions, the locking members clamp the guide rod. Once the first and second detection components are properly adjusted, they are fixed in place by the locking members, preventing accidental slippage and improving their reliability.

[0013] Specifically, the mounting bracket includes a base plate with a first adjustment groove; it also includes adjustment blocks on both sides of the base plate, each adjustment block having a threaded hole in its center. By screwing a screw into the threaded hole, the screw abuts against the base plate, driving the mounting bracket to slide back and forth along the extension direction of the first adjustment groove. The adjustment blocks are used to adjust the position of the testing mechanism during production transitions, enabling the testing mechanism to be compatible with different sizes of thermos cups, thus improving the compatibility and practicality of the testing mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, both the first detection component and the second detection component include a camera and a lens. The first detection component further includes a first lens mount, on which the lens of the first detection component is mounted. The first lens mount is also provided with a first camera mount, on which the camera of the first detection component is mounted and connected to the lens on the first lens mount. The first lens mount and the first camera mount are used to mount the lens and the camera, respectively, which improves the stability of the lens and the camera, avoids blurry images caused by lens and camera shake, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the first detection component.

[0015] The second detection component further includes a second lens mount, on which the lens of the second detection component is mounted; the second lens mount also has a second camera mount, on which the camera of the second detection component is mounted and connected to the lens on the second lens mount. Similarly, the second lens mount and the second camera mount improve the accuracy and reliability of the second detection component.

[0016] Specifically, the first lens mount is provided with a second adjustment groove extending along the detection direction of the first detection component, and the second lens mount is provided with a third adjustment groove extending along the detection direction of the second detection component. The second and third adjustment grooves are used to independently adjust the positions of the first and second detection components, facilitating focusing of the first and second detection components and improving their adjustment convenience.

[0017] Preferably, both the first and second adjusting components include a lead screw structure. The lead screw structure includes a trapezoidal lead screw and a transmission unit screwed onto the trapezoidal lead screw. The transmission unit is connected to the first or second adjusting component. The trapezoidal lead screw has a self-locking function, which prevents the first or second detection component from accidentally sliding without external force after adjustment, thus improving the reliability of the first and second adjusting components.

[0018] Specifically, the drive end of the trapezoidal lead screw is equipped with a handwheel. The handwheel lengthens the lever arm when driving the trapezoidal lead screw, thereby reducing the driving force required to drive the trapezoidal lead screw and improving the convenience of driving the trapezoidal lead screw.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The utility model proposes a size detection device for thermos cups suitable for dual-station production. First, by placing the detection device between the transfer robots of the thermos cup production line, the transfer robots of the thermos cup production line are located on both sides of the detection device, avoiding interference in the movement of the transfer robots. This allows the transfer robots to move without having to avoid obstacles, thus improving the loading and unloading speed of thermos cups. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged detection mechanism makes the detection device adaptable to the dual-station production line. The two work together to improve the detection efficiency.

[0021] Secondly, by using the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component to partially overlap the detection ranges of the first detection mechanism and the second detection mechanism, the detection ranges of the thermos cup are prevented from being missed in some dimensions, thus improving the reliability of the detection mechanism.

[0022] Furthermore, by placing the positioning component between the light-emitting surface and the detection mechanism, the light source component forms a backlight. Through the backlighting method, the outline of the thermos cup becomes clearer, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a size inspection device for thermos cups suitable for dual-station production lines is installed between two transfer robots Z1 on a dual-station thermos cup production line. It includes a frame 1, within which a detection device 2 is installed. The detection device 2 includes symmetrically arranged detection mechanisms 21. On one hand, by placing the detection device between the transfer robots Z1 on the thermos cup production line, the transfer robots Z1 are positioned on either side of the detection device, avoiding interference with the movement of the transfer robots Z1. This eliminates the need for the transfer robots Z1 to avoid obstacles during movement, increasing the loading and unloading speed of thermos cups and thus improving the inspection rate. On the other hand, the symmetrically arranged detection mechanisms 21 adapt the detection device to the dual-station production line, further improving inspection efficiency.

[0035] Each detection mechanism 21 includes a first detection component 211 and a second detection component 212 arranged vertically, and a first adjustment component 213 and a second adjustment component 214 corresponding to the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212, respectively. The first detection component 211 and the second adjustment component 214 drive the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 to move longitudinally, so that the detection ranges of the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 partially overlap and cover the thermos cup. The first adjustment component 213 and the second adjustment component 214 are used to adjust the detection ranges of the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212, so that the detection mechanism 21 can be applied to thermos cups of different specifications, thereby improving the compatibility and practicality of the detection mechanism 21. By partially overlapping the detection ranges of the first detection mechanism 21 and the second detection mechanism 21, the detection mechanism 21 prevents some dimensions of the thermos cup from being missed, thereby improving the reliability of the detection mechanism 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism 21 further includes a mounting bracket 215, which includes a plurality of parallel guide rods 2151. The guide rods 2151 are slidably connected to the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212. The guide rods 2151 are used to guide the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 during adjustment, ensuring the direction of movement of the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212, and improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0037] Specifically, both the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 are equipped with locking members 2113 that are adapted to the guide rod 2151. When the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 are adjusted to the correct position, the locking members 2113 clamp the guide rod 2151. After the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 are adjusted, they are fixed by the locking members 2113, which prevents the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 from sliding accidentally, thereby improving the reliability of the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting bracket 215 includes a base plate 2152 with a first adjustment groove 2154; it also includes adjustment blocks 2153 on both sides of the base plate 2152, each with a threaded hole in the center. By screwing a screw into the threaded hole, the screw abuts against the base plate 2152, driving the mounting bracket 215 to slide back and forth along the extension direction of the first adjustment groove 2154. The adjustment blocks 2153 are used to adjust the position of the testing mechanism 21 during production transitions, enabling the testing mechanism 21 to be compatible with different sizes of thermos cups, thus improving the compatibility and practicality of the testing mechanism 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212 include a camera and a lens. The first detection component 211 further includes a first lens mount 2111, on which the lens of the first detection component 211 is mounted. The first lens mount 2111 is also provided with a first camera mount 2112, on which the camera of the first detection component 211 is mounted and connected to the lens on the first lens mount 2111. The first lens mount 2111 and the first camera mount 2112 are used to mount the lens and the camera, respectively, which improves the stability of the lens and the camera, avoids blurry images caused by lens and camera shake, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the first detection component 211.

[0040] The second detection component 212 further includes a second lens mount 2121, on which the lens of the second detection component 212 is mounted; the second lens mount 2121 also has a second camera mount 2122, on which the camera of the second detection component 212 is mounted and connected to the lens on the second lens mount 2121. Similarly, the second lens mount 2121 and the second camera mount 2122 improve the accuracy and reliability of the second detection component 212.

[0041] Specifically, the first lens mount 2111 is provided with a second adjustment groove extending along the detection direction of the first detection component 211, and the second lens mount 2121 is provided with a third adjustment groove extending along the detection direction of the second detection component 212. The second and third adjustment grooves are used to individually adjust the positions of the first detection component 211 and the second detection component 212, respectively, facilitating focusing of the first and second detection components 211 and improving the adjustment convenience of the first and second detection components 211 and the second detection component 212.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the first adjusting component 213 and the second adjusting component 214 include a lead screw structure. The lead screw structure includes a trapezoidal lead screw and a transmission unit screwed onto the trapezoidal lead screw. The transmission unit is connected to either the first adjusting component 213 or the second adjusting component 214. The trapezoidal lead screw has a self-locking function, which prevents the first detection component 211 or the second detection component 212 from accidentally sliding without external force after adjustment, thus improving the reliability of the first adjusting component 213 and the second adjusting component 214.

[0043] Specifically, the drive end of the trapezoidal lead screw is equipped with a handwheel 2131. The handwheel 2131 lengthens the lever arm when driving the trapezoidal lead screw, thereby reducing the driving force required to drive the trapezoidal lead screw and improving the convenience of driving the trapezoidal lead screw.

[0044] The detection device 2 also includes a light source assembly 22, which is disposed between the two detection mechanisms 21 and includes light-emitting surfaces on both sides, which face the two detection mechanisms 21 respectively. The light source assembly 22 is used to illuminate the thermos cup during detection, so that the detection mechanism 21 can more easily capture the outline of the thermos cup, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism 21.

[0045] The detection device 2 also includes positioning components 23 corresponding to the detection mechanism 21. The positioning components 23 are disposed between the light-emitting surface and the detection mechanism 21, so that the thermos cup is located between the light-emitting surface and the detection mechanism 21 during detection, thereby enabling the light source component 22 to form backlight. Through the backlighting method, the outline of the thermos cup can be illuminated, while the body of the thermos cup is darkened, thereby forming a strong color difference, making the outline of the thermos cup clearer, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism 21.

[0046] In this embodiment, the positioning component 23 includes a driving unit 231, and the output end of the driving unit 231 is provided with a positioning member 232. The positioning member 232 rotates at a constant speed under the drive of the driving unit 231. By rotating the positioning member 232 at a constant speed, the thermos cup rotates with the positioning member 232 during detection, thereby enabling the detection mechanism 21 to detect all dimensions around the thermos cup, avoiding omissions and misjudgments, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism 21.

[0047] Specifically, the positioning component 232 includes an upwardly protruding positioning boss 2321. The top of the positioning boss 2321 is gradually inclined inward from bottom to top, forming a guide portion 2122. When the positioning component 232 positions the thermos cup, the outer wall of the positioning boss 2321 abuts against the inner wall of the thermos cup. The guide portion 2122 is used to guide the thermos cup during positioning, avoiding positioning failure due to dimensional errors of the thermos cup, thus improving the convenience and reliability of thermos cup positioning. When the outer wall of the positioning boss 2321 abuts against the inner wall of the thermos cup, a long pin positioning is formed between the positioning boss 2321 and the thermos cup, preventing the thermos cup from tilting during positioning and improving positioning accuracy.
