Traditional inspection mechanisms typically use linear transport methods, which cannot guarantee transport accuracy. Therefore, the steel casing needs to be positioned before inspection to ensure proper placement and thus meet required accuracy. This necessitates the design of a separate positioning mechanism, resulting in a larger overall footprint and lower inspection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the drawings, not all of them.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between 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.
[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-4, the turret-type aerial photography detection mechanism of this embodiment includes a detection unit and a rotating transport and lifting unit. The detection unit includes a photographing component 1. The rotating transport and lifting unit includes a turntable 2 and M transport components. Each transport component includes a suction component 3 and a lifting component 4. The suction component 3 is mounted on the turntable 2 and can suction and release materials. The lifting component 4 is vertically mounted on the turntable 2 and abuts against the bottom surface of the material. Each transport component is configured to transport materials to the photographing position of the photographing component 1, where M is a positive integer greater than 1. This turret-type aerial photography detection mechanism replaces the existing linear reciprocating transport method with a rotating transport method, improving the accuracy of the transport position. It eliminates the need for a separate positioning mechanism, saving space and improving detection efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up M transport components, continuous detection of M materials can be achieved with one rotation of the turntable 2, resulting in higher detection efficiency.
[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, the value of M is 8. Of course, in other embodiments, the value of M can also be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 or other positive integers.
[0034] Optionally, there are N cameras 1, and the shooting positions of the N cameras 1 are set at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 2, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. That is, during one rotation of the turntable 2, the material can be sequentially transported to the N shooting positions, which can further improve the detection efficiency and detection accuracy.
[0035] Optionally, in this embodiment, the value of N is 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the value of N can also be 2, 3, 5, 6 or other positive integers.
[0036] Optionally, the imaging component 1 is a CCD camera to further improve detection accuracy.
[0037] To fix the positions of the N imaging elements 1, the detection unit may optionally include a support member with a curved wall 5. All N imaging elements 1 are connected to the curved wall 5, which is coaxially arranged with the turntable 2. Optionally, all imaging elements 1 are located above the turntable 2, and the curved wall 5 is also located above the turntable 2. All N imaging elements 1 are connected to the inner wall of the curved wall 5. Optionally, the curved wall 5 is provided with N slide rails, all extending vertically. The imaging elements 1 are connected to sliders to facilitate adjustment of the height of each imaging element 1.
[0038] To raise the lifting component 4 within the area containing the shooting element 1, thereby elevating the material to the shooting height, the rotating transport lifting unit may optionally also have an annular undulating surface 6. The annular undulating surface 6 faces the turntable 2 and is coaxially arranged with the turntable 2. The vertical distance between the annular undulating surface 6 and the turntable 2 first decreases and then increases circumferentially along the annular undulating surface 6. Each lifting component 4 is equipped with a rolling bearing 41. The outer ring of the rolling bearing 41 rolls with the annular undulating surface 6, and the inner ring of the rolling bearing 41 is connected to the lifting component 4. That is, the annular undulating surface 6 within the area corresponding to the shooting element 1 is relatively high, ensuring that the lifting component 4 entering this area rises to the appropriate position so that the material is precisely at the shooting height.
[0039] The annular undulating surface 6 is located below the turntable 2. Optionally, each lifting component 4 includes a support end 42 and a limiting rod 43 connected together. The support end 42 is used to support the material, and the limiting rod 43 passes through the through hole on the turntable 2 and is connected to the inner ring of the rolling bearing 41.
[0040] Optionally, each lifting component 4 is also provided with a connecting block 44 and an elastic component 45. The connecting block 44 is used to connect the limiting rod 43 and the inner ring of the rolling bearing 41. One end of the elastic component 45 abuts against the turntable 2, and the other end abuts against the connecting block 44, so that the rolling bearing 41 abuts against the annular undulating surface 6. This ensures that the height of the lifting component 4 in different areas depends entirely on the undulation shape of the annular undulating surface 6, and that the height of the lifting component 4 in the same area remains unchanged. This ensures that the material at the detection position corresponding to the rotation angle is necessarily located at the detection height, thereby ensuring detection accuracy.
[0041] Optionally, each lifting component 4 has two limiting rods 43, one end of each limiting rod 43 is connected to the support end 42, and the other end is connected to the connecting block 44, which ensures that the support end 42 receives a more balanced support force and prevents the material from tilting.
[0042] Optionally, a linear bearing 46 is fitted on the limiting rod 43, and the linear bearing 46 is located between the limiting rod 43 and the turntable 2 to ensure that there is a gap between the limiting rod 43 and the through hole of the turntable 2, so that the limiting rod 43 will not wear when it moves up and down in the through hole.
[0043] Optionally, each suction element 3 has a vacuum suction hole 311 on its suction surface 31. The vacuum suction hole 311 is connected to a vacuum pipeline, which is connected to a vacuum pumping mechanism 9. When the vacuum pipeline is connected, the material is suctioned onto the suction element 3. When the vacuum pipeline is disconnected, the suction element 3 releases the material. Since the vacuum pumping mechanism 9 is a conventional device, it will not be described in detail here. Optionally, multiple vacuum suction holes 311 are evenly distributed on the suction surface 31.
[0044] To ensure timely switching on and off of the vacuum pipeline, the turret-type aerial inspection mechanism may optionally include a fixed disk and a rotating disk with a sealed connection. The rotating disk rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 2, while the fixed disk does not rotate with the rotating disk 2; that is, the fixed disk and the rotating disk rotate relative to each other. Both the fixed disk and the rotating disk are circular to ensure that they remain in a sealed connection during relative rotation.
[0045] A vacuum groove is formed on the end face of the fixed disk facing the rotating disk. The vacuum groove is eccentrically positioned, and a connecting hole is formed at the bottom of the vacuum groove. The other end of the connecting hole is connected to the vacuum pumping mechanism 9. M through holes are formed on the end face of the rotating disk facing the fixed disk. The other ends of the M through holes are respectively connected to the vacuum adsorption holes 311 on the M suction components 3, so that the vacuum adsorption holes 311 can vacuum adsorb materials. That is, the vacuum adsorption holes 311 corresponding to the through holes connected to the vacuum groove have vacuum adsorption capabilities, while the vacuum adsorption holes 311 corresponding to the through holes not connected to the vacuum groove do not have vacuum adsorption capabilities.
[0046] Optionally, the other end of each through hole is located on the side wall of the rotating disk, and the other openings of the M through holes are evenly spaced on the side wall of the rotating disk. Optionally, a vacuum channel is provided inside the suction member 3, one end of which is the vacuum suction hole 311, facing the material, and the other end of the vacuum channel faces the center of the rotating disk 2. An interface is provided at this opening, and the interface is connected to the other opening of the through hole on the rotating disk through a pipe.
[0047] The vacuum groove is eccentrically positioned, corresponding to the area where material needs to be gripped. The through-hole of the suction member 3, which rotates into this area, connects to the vacuum groove, ensuring the suction member 3 grips the material promptly. Conversely, the through-hole of the suction member 3, which rotates out of this area, does not connect to the vacuum groove, allowing it to release the material promptly. Precise eccentric positioning of the vacuum groove ensures that the gripping and releasing actions of the suction member 3 accurately correspond to its rotation position. In practical use, this may include the material entry point, the material detection point, and the material transfer point downstream. The material entry and detection points must correspond to the vacuum groove position to ensure the suction member 3, rotating into this area, grips the material promptly. That is, the material is gripped by the suction member 3 as soon as it is transferred to the mechanism, and remains gripped throughout the detection process. However, when the material is transported downstream to a location without a vacuum groove, the suction member 3 releases the material promptly, allowing the downstream component to grip and transfer it downstream. The opening and closing of the vacuum pipeline is determined by whether the through hole is connected to the vacuum tank when the rotating disk rotates relative to the fixed disk.
[0048] Optionally, each suction element 3 has a magnetic block 32, and the material is made of ferromagnetic material, so that the magnetic block 32 can further enhance the attraction force of the suction element 3 on the material.
[0049] Optionally, the suction surface 31 of each suction element 3 is conformally shaped to the material. In this embodiment, the material is a steel shell 100, and the suction surface 31 is curved to fit the side wall of the cylindrical steel shell 100. The conformal shape of the suction surface 31 can increase the contact area between the suction element 3 and the material, thereby increasing the adsorption force. Furthermore, for the cylindrical steel shell 100, the conformal shape of the suction surface 31 can also fix the steel shell 100 from tilting, further improving the detection accuracy.
[0050] Optionally, the turret-type aerial photography detection mechanism also includes a driven gear 7, which is located below the turntable 2 and is coaxially arranged with the turntable 2 to ensure that the turntable 2 is driven to rotate around its own axis by the driven gear 7.
[0051] Optionally, each transport component also includes a cup 8, which is set on the turntable 2 and located below the lifting component 4. Unadsorbed material will fall into the cup 8.
[0052] The working process of this turret-type aerial photography detection mechanism is as follows: When the suction unit 3 and the lifting unit 4 rotate to the material receiving position, the material is placed on the lifting unit 4, and the suction unit 3 clamps the material. As the turntable 2 rotates, the material rotates towards the shooting position. At the same time, the lifting unit 4 is located on the upper slope of the annular undulating surface 6, and the material rotates and rises with the lifting unit 4 until the material is located at the shooting position. The material is photographed sequentially under the four shooting units 1. After the shooting is completed, the turntable 2 continues to rotate, and the material rotates towards the position to be transferred downstream. When the material is located at the position to be transferred downstream, the downstream component clamps the material, the suction unit 3 releases the material, and the material is transferred downstream. Then, as the turntable 2 rotates, the lifting unit 4 is located on the lower slope of the annular undulating surface 6, and the lifting unit 4 rotates and descends until it is located at the material receiving position.
[0053] This turret-type aerial inspection mechanism replaces the existing linear reciprocating transport method with a rotating transport method, which improves the accuracy of transport position, eliminates the need for a separate positioning mechanism, saves space, and increases inspection efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up M transport components, a single rotation of the turntable 2 can achieve continuous inspection of M materials, resulting in even higher inspection efficiency. The complete coordination of the M transport components ensures the stability of the inspection operation.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
