[0057] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0058] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this solution provides an automatic inspection mechanism for shaft-type workpieces, comprising: a worktable 1; a loading unit 2 disposed on the worktable 1; a conveying unit 3 disposed on the worktable 1 for conveying the workpiece; an inspection unit 4 disposed to the side of the loading unit 2, having a drive wheel 5 and a support wheel 6 disposed opposite to each other, the drive wheel 5 being located above the support wheel 6, one end of the workpiece being placed between the drive wheel 5 and the support wheel 6, the drive wheel 5 being used to drive the workpiece to rotate, the support wheel 6 being used to provide support for the workpiece, and the inspection unit 4 being used to inspect the outer diameter of the workpiece; and a sorting unit 7 disposed to the side of the inspection unit 4 for classifying and sorting the inspected workpieces.

[0060] During operation, the conveying unit 3 transports the workpiece from the loading unit 2 to the location of the detection unit 4. At this time, one end of the workpiece is placed between the drive wheel 5 and the support wheel 6. The detection unit 4 detects the outer diameter of the workpiece. During the detection process, the support wheel 6 provides support for the workpiece, and the drive wheel 5, driven by the detection unit 4, rotates the workpiece through friction, thereby realizing continuous measurement of the outer diameter of the workpiece around its entire circumference. After the inspection is completed, the conveying unit 3 continues to transport the workpiece to the location of the sorting unit 7. The sorting unit 7 sorts the workpiece according to preset standards. Through the above structural design and process arrangement, the automatic detection mechanism in this solution realizes the fully automated operation from workpiece loading and outer diameter detection to sorting, which not only significantly improves detection efficiency and accuracy, but also effectively ensures the consistency of product quality and reduces labor costs.

[0061] Furthermore, the detection unit 4 also includes: a support base 8, with support bases 8 on both sides of the workbench 1, and support wheels 6 on both sides of the support base 8, with a drive wheel 5 on one of the support bases 8; a first drive member 9, with a pulley assembly at its output end, the drive wheel 5 being connected to the pulley assembly, the first drive member 9 driving the drive wheel 5 to rotate through the pulley assembly; and a second drive member 10, connected to one of the support bases 8, with a support block 11 at its output end, the first drive member 9 and the drive wheel 5 being connected to the support block 11, the second drive member 10 driving the first drive member 9 and the drive wheel 5 to move vertically through the support block 11; the first drive member 9 is preferably a motor, and the second drive member 10 can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0062] Furthermore, the pulley assembly includes: a driving pulley 12, which is disposed at the output end of the first driving member 9; a driven pulley 13, on which a connecting shaft 14 is disposed, one end of which is connected to the driven pulley 13 and the other end of which is connected to the driving pulley 5; and a belt 15, which is sleeved between the driving pulley 12 and the driven pulley 13. During operation, the first driving member 9 is started, and the driving pulley 12 at its output end begins to rotate. The rotation of the driving pulley 12 is transmitted to the driven pulley 13 through the belt 15 sleeved on it. Since the driven pulley 13 and the driving pulley 5 are rigidly connected through the connecting shaft 14, when the driven pulley 13 is rotated by the power transmitted from the belt 15, it will directly transmit the torque to the driving pulley 5 through the connecting shaft 14, thereby causing the driving pulley 5 to rotate synchronously.

[0063] During operation, the conveying unit 3 transports the workpiece to the support base 8. The second drive component 10, located on one side of the support base 8, is activated, driving the first drive component 9 and the drive wheel 5 to move vertically downwards through the support block 11 until the drive wheel 5 is in close contact with the workpiece. At this time, one end of the workpiece is clamped between the drive wheel 5 and the support wheel 6 on one side, while the other end is assisted by the support wheel 6 on the other side of the support base 8. The second drive component 10 stops driving, and the first drive component 9 is activated, transmitting power to the drive wheel 5 through the pulley assembly. As the drive wheel 5 rotates, it drives the workpiece to rotate synchronously through friction. Driven by the first drive component 9, the drive wheel 5 drives the workpiece to rotate one revolution through friction, thereby enabling the detection unit 4 to continuously measure the outer diameter of the workpiece around its entire circumference.

[0064] Furthermore, the detection unit 4 also includes: a support platform 16, which is mounted on a support base 8 on the other side; a first contact block 17 and a second contact block 18 are mounted on the support platform 16, the first contact block 17 is fixed on the support platform 16, and the second contact block 18 is movably mounted on the support platform 16, with the first contact block 17 and the second contact block 18 respectively moving against the two sides of the workpiece in the radial direction; a third driving member 19, which is mounted on the support platform 16, with a driving rod 20 at the output end of the third driving member 19, a first connecting part 21 on the first contact block 17, and a second connecting part 22 on the second contact block 18, with one end of the driving rod 20 passing through the first connecting part 21 and connecting to the second connecting part 22, and the third driving member 19 driving the second contact block 18 to move through the driving rod 20; and a measuring member 23, with a push rod 24 at its sensing end, one end of which passes through the first connecting part 21 and connects to the second connecting part 22, for real-time detection of the displacement of the second contact block 18, thereby reflecting the change in the outer diameter of the workpiece.

[0065] During operation, the conveying unit 3 transports the workpiece to the location of the detection unit 4. The workpiece is placed on the support base 8, with one end held by the drive wheel 5 and a support wheel 6 on one side, and the other end located between the first contact block 17 and the second contact block 18. The third drive component 19 is activated, driving the second contact block 18 towards the workpiece via the drive rod 20 until the first contact block 17 and the second contact block 18 contact the two sides of the workpiece in the radial direction. At the same time, the push rod 24 of the measuring component 23 moves synchronously with the second contact block 18, recording its displacement changes in real time. Subsequently, the drive wheel 5 rotates under the drive of the first drive component 9, and drives the workpiece to rotate synchronously for one revolution through friction. During this process, the first contact block 17 and the second contact block 18 always maintain contact with the workpiece. The measuring component 23 indirectly obtains the external contour information of the workpiece by detecting the displacement change of the second contact block 18, thereby realizing continuous measurement of its outer diameter accuracy throughout the entire circumference. Finally, the workpiece is judged to be qualified according to the preset tolerance range. The third drive component 19 can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder, and the measuring component 23 is preferably an electronic ruler.

[0066] Furthermore, the feeding unit 2 includes: a hopper 25; a pusher plate 26, one end of which is movably inserted into the hopper 25 and movably abuts against one side of the inner wall of the hopper 25, for pushing the workpiece out of the hopper 25; and a fourth drive member 27, the end of the pusher plate 26 away from the hopper 25 is connected to the output end of the fourth drive member 27, and the fourth drive member 27 is used to drive the pusher plate 26 to move.

[0067] Furthermore, the feeding unit 2 also includes: a first conveyor belt 28, a guide slope 29 is inclinedly provided on one side of the hopper 25, the first conveyor belt 28 is located below the guide slope 29, and is used to receive the workpieces sliding down along the guide slope 29 and transport them; and a detection component 30, which is set on the first conveyor belt 28, and is used to detect whether the workpiece has moved to a preset position.

[0068] During operation, the fourth drive component 27 drives the push plate 26 to move vertically upward, pushing out the bottommost shaft-type workpieces. Under the action of gravity, the workpieces slide down the guide slope 29 and fall onto the first conveyor belt 28 for transport. When the workpiece is transported to the preset position by the first conveyor belt 28, the detection component 30 identifies it, at which point the workpiece is within the gripping range of the transport unit 3. Through the linkage control of the push plate 26 and the fourth drive component 27, combined with the collaborative design of the guide slope 29 and the first conveyor belt 28, stable transport of shaft-type workpieces can be achieved, effectively avoiding jamming or misalignment problems and ensuring the continuity of the inspection process. In addition, the design of the push plate 26 closely fitting the inner wall of one side of the hopper 25 helps to prevent the shaft-type workpieces from tilting or jamming during the pushing process, improving the reliability and consistency of the feeding process. The fourth drive component 27 can be a motor, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder; the detection component 30 can be a displacement sensor or other sensing device.

[0069] Furthermore, the conveying unit 3 includes: a pneumatic gripper 31, which is movably disposed above the first conveyor belt 28 for gripping and conveying workpieces on the first conveyor belt 28; a first movable seat 32, on which a plurality of pneumatic grippers 31 are disposed, and the first movable seat 32 is used to drive the pneumatic grippers 31 to move; a fifth driving member 33, on which the first movable seat 32 is connected, and the fifth driving member 33 is used to drive the first movable seat 32 to move in the vertical direction; and a sixth driving member 34, on which the fifth driving member 33 is connected, and the sixth driving member 34 drives the first movable seat 32 to move in the horizontal direction through the fifth driving member 33.

[0070] When the first conveyor belt 28 transports the workpiece to the preset gripping position, the pneumatic gripper 31 is directly above the workpiece. At this time, the fifth drive unit 33 is activated, driving the first moving seat 32 and the pneumatic gripper 31 to move downwards in the vertical direction. After reaching the gripping position, they stop, and the pneumatic gripper 31 clamps the workpiece. Subsequently, the fifth drive unit 33 reverses its action, driving the gripper to rise, so that the workpiece is released from the first conveyor belt 28. At the same time, the sixth drive unit 34 is activated, driving the fifth drive unit 33 and the first moving seat 32 to move in the horizontal direction, realizing the transport of the clamped workpiece. The fifth drive unit 33 and the sixth drive unit 34 are preferably intersecting linear guide rails.

[0071] Furthermore, the sorting unit 7 includes: a second movable seat 35, which is movably disposed below the movement path of the workpiece after inspection, for receiving the workpiece and classifying it; a baffle 36, which is fixed on the second movable seat 35; a rotating shaft 37, which is rotatably disposed on the second movable seat 35, and a rotating block 38 is connected to the rotating shaft 37. The rotating block 38 and the baffle 36 form a placement groove 39. The rotating block 38 and the baffle 36 have a closed state and an open state.

[0072] Furthermore, the sorting unit 7 also includes: a seventh drive member 40, with a rotating shaft 37 connected to the output end of the seventh drive member 40, the seventh drive member 40 being used to drive the rotating shaft 37 to rotate; and an eighth drive member 41, with a second movable seat 35 connected to the eighth drive member 41, the eighth drive member 41 being used to drive the second movable seat 35 to move; wherein, the seventh drive member 40 may be a motor or a cylinder, and the eighth drive member 41 is preferably a linear guide rail.

When the workpiece transported by the pneumatic gripper 31 is a qualified product, firstly, the pneumatic gripper 31 releases the workpiece, and the workpiece falls into the placement slot 39 on the second movable seat 35. Then, the seventh drive unit 40 is activated, driving the rotating shaft 37 to rotate, causing the rotating block 38 connected to the rotating shaft 37 to separate from the baffle 36. The qualified product in the placement slot 39 falls from the second movable seat 35 into the second conveyor belt 42, and the second conveyor belt 42 transports the qualified product to... Designated position; when the workpiece transported by the pneumatic gripper 31 is a defective product, firstly, the pneumatic gripper 31 releases the workpiece, and the workpiece falls into the placement groove 39 on the second moving seat 35 below the pneumatic gripper 31; then, the eighth drive unit 41 is activated, driving the moving seat to move horizontally above the collection unit 43; subsequently, the seventh drive unit 40 is activated, driving the rotating shaft 37 to rotate, so that the rotating block 38 connected to the rotating shaft 37 and the baffle 36 are separated, the placement groove 39 has a gap, and the workpiece falls from the second moving seat 35 into the collection unit 43.
