Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection device technology, specifically a visual inspection system for surface defects of mechanical parts. Background Technology

[0002] Most mechanical equipment is assembled from various mechanical parts, which require high dimensional accuracy and quality. After the mechanical parts are manufactured, they need to be inspected to ensure their quality and dimensional accuracy, preventing substandard parts from entering the market and affecting the quality of the assembled mechanical equipment. Visual inspection is the main method for detecting surface defects in mechanical parts.

[0003] A search revealed a patent document with publication number CN222232354U, which discloses a surface defect detection device for engineering machinery parts. The device includes a frame, an adjustment mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. A vision inspection device is installed at the upper inner end of the frame, and the adjustment mechanism is located on top of the vision inspection device. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the frame, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame. A rotary motor is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame. This invention, through its structural design of the frame, fixing plate, fixing groove, rotary motor, U-shaped frame, vision inspection device, and adjustment mechanism, enables rapid detection of both sides of the parts to be inspected, thereby improving detection efficiency. It solves the problem that after one side of a part has been inspected, it is necessary to manually flip the part and then fix it again, which is cumbersome and reduces detection efficiency.

[0004] Based on the search of the above information, the existing technology can perform rotational inspection on the parts to be inspected. However, the clamping end face may be obscured during inspection, resulting in missed inspections of the end face. Therefore, a new visual inspection system for surface defects of mechanical parts is proposed to optimize the existing technology. Utility Model Content

The U-shaped frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the back side of the rotating stage 6. The back side of the rotating stage 6 is circumferentially connected with a transmission rod 10. The transmission rod 10 slides through the corresponding driving stage 9. The driving stage 9 has a circular hole for the transmission rod 10 to slide through. The driving stage 9 is equipped with a driving mechanism on its outer side. The U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly connected to a first electric telescopic rod 11 on each side of the supporting round frame 5. The telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the supporting round frame 5.

A second motor 24 is fixedly mounted on one end plate 22 corresponding to the end of the bidirectional threaded rod 23. The output end of the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 23.

[0036] The second motor 24 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 23 to rotate, and under the guidance of the second guide rod 29, the two chucks 21 can move synchronously, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the parts to be tested.

[0037] The drive mechanism includes a third motor 25 and a drive shaft 26. The drive shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame 2.

A second gear 28 is fixedly connected to the drive platform 9. The second gear 28 meshes with the first gear 27 for transmission.

[0038] The third motor 25 drives the drive shaft 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 28 through the first gear 27, thereby driving the two drive tables 9 to rotate. This allows the two clamping mechanisms to rotate synchronously, maintaining a 90° misalignment, thus facilitating the formation of a face-changing clamping effect.

The workpiece is placed in the clamping mechanism of the rotating table 6 on one side, and the bidirectional threaded rod 23 is rotated by the second motor 24. Under the guidance of the second guide rod 29, the two chucks 21 can move synchronously, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the parts to be inspected.

Visual inspection can continue to be performed by the first visual inspection device 3 and the second visual inspection device 7, thereby achieving comprehensive inspection.
