Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of damage detection equipment, specifically a container body damage detection device. Background Technology

[0002] A shipping container is a large cargo container with a certain strength, rigidity, and specifications, specifically designed for repeated use. Using containers for cargo transport allows goods to be loaded directly at the shipper's warehouse and unloaded at the consignee's warehouse. When changing vehicles or ships en route, there is no need to remove the goods from the container for repackaging. Therefore, the shipping container is a great invention.

[0003] Current object appearance inspection equipment cannot detect the bottom surface of an object, so it is equipped with a flipping structure. By clamping and flipping the object, the bottom surface of the object can be turned towards the inspection equipment. Although this method is effective, when dealing with large or heavy objects, the clamping operation is prone to loosening and falling, which is a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A container body damage detection device includes a detection mechanism and a flipping mechanism. The detection mechanism includes a main belt conveyor, a support frame connected to the top of the main belt conveyor, a camera rotatably mounted at the bottom of the support frame, and a processor connected to the top of the support frame. The camera and the processor are electrically connected. The flipping mechanism includes two mirrors suspended from the top of the main belt conveyor, a cylinder located on one side of the main belt conveyor, a connecting frame connected to the movable end of the cylinder, a transparent plate connected to the top of the connecting frame, and a secondary belt conveyor connected to the transparent plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the container is transferred from the main belt conveyor to the transparent plate bearing surface, the moving end of the cylinder descends at a uniform speed under the control of the control system. The container is guided to complete the autonomous flipping by using the principle of gravity balance. After flipping, the bottom surface of the container faces the camera for secondary image acquisition, thereby completing the detection of the bottom surface of the container. The innovative autonomous flipping mechanism achieves safe flipping through the principle of physical mechanics, which not only avoids the collision risk that may be caused by the forced clamping flipping of traditional mechanical structures, but also simplifies the equipment structure configuration.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the transparent plate is L-shaped and tilted.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the main belt conveyor is provided with an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism including two frames respectively sleeved on the outer sides of the two mirrors, a support plate attached to the bottom of the frame and connected to the main belt conveyor, and a threaded rod screwed to the support plate, the inner end of the threaded rod being rotatably connected to the frame through a bearing.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the top of the pallet is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the main belt conveyor, the bottom of the frame is attached to the top of the main belt conveyor, and a material passage is left between the two frames.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two guide rods are slidably inserted into the tray, the two guide rods are respectively close to both ends of the tray, and the inner ends of the guide rods are connected to the frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a base plate is installed at the bottom of the main belt conveyor, a cylinder liner is installed at the top of the base plate, and the cylinder liner is sleeved on the bottom end of the cylinder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, when the container is transferred from the main belt conveyor to the transparent plate bearing surface, the moving end of the cylinder descends at a uniform speed under the control of the control system. The container is guided to complete the autonomous flipping by using the principle of gravity balance. After flipping, the bottom surface of the container faces the camera for secondary image acquisition, thereby completing the detection of the bottom surface of the container. The innovative autonomous flipping mechanism achieves safe flipping through the principle of physical mechanics, which not only avoids the collision risk that may be caused by the forced clamping flipping of the traditional mechanical structure, but also simplifies the equipment structure configuration.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the container is transported to the inspection station by the main belt conveyor. When the container passes under the camera, its top image is directly captured. At the same time, the mirrors set on both sides present the complete images of the side and end faces of the container through the principle of reflection. The camera records the multi-directional images reflected by the mirrors in real time. All image data is uploaded to the processor for image analysis in real time, realizing the synchronous detection of the top and side of the container. The acquisition of many surfaces other than the bottom is quick and convenient, ensuring the inspection efficiency of a single container. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a container damage detection device provided by this utility model.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a container body damage detection device, including a detection mechanism 100 and a flipping mechanism 200. The detection mechanism 100 includes a main belt conveyor 110, a support frame 120 connected to the top of the main belt conveyor 110, a camera 130 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the support frame 120, and a processor 140 connected to the top of the support frame 120. The camera 130 and the processor 140 are electrically connected.

[0032] The flipping mechanism 200 includes two mirrors 210 suspended above the main belt conveyor 110, a cylinder 220 located on one side of the main belt conveyor 110, a connecting frame 230 connected to the movable end of the cylinder 220, a transparent plate 240 connected to the top of the connecting frame 230, and a secondary belt conveyor 250 connected to the transparent plate 240.

[0033] Furthermore, the transparent panel 240 is L-shaped and tilted, and the layout design of the transparent panel 240 provides the conditions for the container to flip over when it falls.

[0034] Furthermore, the main belt conveyor 110 is provided with a spacing adjustment mechanism 300. The spacing adjustment mechanism 300 includes two frames 310 respectively sleeved on the outside of the two mirrors 210, a support plate 320 attached to the bottom of the frame 310 and connected to the main belt conveyor 110, and a threaded rod 330 screwed to the support plate 320. The inner end of the threaded rod 330 is rotatably connected to the frame 310 through a bearing. By rotating the threaded rod 330, the frame 310 and the mirror 210 can be moved to expand / contract the distance between the two frames 310, so that the device can adapt to containers of any size.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the pallet 320 is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the main belt conveyor 110, the bottom of the frame 310 is attached to the top of the main belt conveyor 110, and a material passage is left between the two frames 310. The connection method of the frames 310 makes its movement more stable.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, two guide rods 400 are slidably inserted into the tray 320. The two guide rods 400 are respectively close to both ends of the tray 320. The inner end of the guide rod 400 is connected to the frame 310. The guide rods 400 can make the frame 310 move more stably.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] Combination Figure 1 As shown in the above embodiment, a base plate 500 is installed at the bottom of the main belt conveyor 110, and a cylinder liner 600 is installed on the top of the base plate 500. The cylinder liner 600 is sleeved on the bottom end of the cylinder 220. The cooperation between the base plate 500 and the cylinder liner 600 can improve the stability of the overall structure of the device.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: Both the main belt conveyor 110 and the auxiliary belt conveyor 250 are suitable for conveying giant objects. When this device is put into actual use, the container is transported to the inspection station by the main belt conveyor 110. When the container passes under the camera 130, its top image is directly captured. At the same time, the mirrors 210 set on both sides present the complete images of the side and end faces of the container through the principle of reflection. The camera 130 records the multi-directional images reflected by the mirrors in real time. All image data is uploaded to the processor 140 in real time for image analysis, realizing the synchronous detection of the top and side faces of the container. After the first inspection is completed, the container is smoothly transferred to the bearing surface of the transparent plate 240 through the guide mechanism. At this time, the moving end of the cylinder 220 descends at a uniform speed under the control of the control system. Using the principle of gravity balance, the container is guided to complete the autonomous flipping. The bottom face of the flipped container faces the camera 130 for secondary image acquisition, thereby completing the full coverage inspection of the six sides of the container. This innovative autonomous flipping mechanism achieves safe flipping through the principle of physical mechanics, which not only avoids the collision risk that may be caused by the forced flipping of the traditional robotic arm, but also simplifies the equipment structure configuration.
