[0022] This invention provides a stable foundation for subsequent testing by installing a mounting plate 2 and a fixture 4 at the top of the frame 1. The product column 5 is stably placed, and the fixture 4 is secured to ensure that the relative positions of the two are fixed during testing, thereby improving the testing accuracy. The CCD cameras 6 arranged around the perimeter can comprehensively detect the gap between the product column 5 and the fixture 4 from different directions, thereby achieving accurate measurement of the gap and ensuring that the product quality meets the standards.

[0023] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a Z-axis slide rail 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 via a slide rail bracket 20; a slider 8 is slidably connected to the Z-axis slide rail 7, a lifting column 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 8, a servo electric screwdriver 10 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the lifting column 9, and a thread bit 11 for locking the product column 5 and the fixture 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo electric screwdriver 10.

[0024] By setting a locking mechanism, the Z-axis slide rail 7 cooperates with the slider 8, allowing the lifting column 9 to slide up and down along the Z-axis, driving the servo electric screwdriver 10 and the thread bit 11 to achieve lifting and lowering movements, making it convenient to adjust the height to meet the locking requirements of the column 5 and the fixture 4 of different product specifications.

[0025] Furthermore, in another embodiment, a scanning mechanism is provided on one side of the top of the frame 1. The scanning mechanism includes a vertical slide bar 12, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the frame 1 via a connecting block 13. A lifting block 14 is slidably connected to the vertical slide bar 12. A horizontal slide bar 15 is slidably connected to one side of the lifting block 14. A first locking bolt 16, which restricts the vertical sliding of the lifting block 14, is threadedly connected to one side of the lifting block 14. A second locking bolt 17, which restricts the forward and backward sliding of the horizontal slide bar 15, is threadedly connected to the other side of the lifting block 14. One end of the horizontal slide bar 15 holds a barcode scanner 19 via a fixing clamp 18.

[0026] By setting up a scanning mechanism, the vertical slide bar 12 and the lifting block 14 can adjust the height of the barcode scanner 19, and the horizontal slide bar 15 can adjust the front and rear position of the barcode scanner 19. The first locking bolt 16 and the second locking bolt 17 respectively fix the position of the lifting block 14 and the horizontal slide bar 15, so that the barcode scanner 19 can be flexibly adjusted to the optimal scanning position to adapt to the scanning needs of different products, improve the accuracy and convenience of scanning, facilitate product identification and data recording, and bind and save the test results and QR codes to the industrial computer database for easy traceability.

[0027] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the fixture 4 has a first connecting hole 401 for connecting with the threaded bit 11, and the top of the fixture 4 is connected to an insert block 402 for cooperating with the product column 5; the bottom of the product column 5 has an insertion hole 501 for cooperating with the insert block 402 and a second connecting hole 502 for cooperating with the first connecting hole 401.

[0028] By setting the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 502, the threaded bit 11 can easily lock and fix the fixture 4 and the product column 5. By setting the insert block 402 and the insert hole 501, the relative position of the product column 5 and the fixture 4 is accurate, and the stability of the connection is increased.

[0029] Furthermore, in another embodiment, two sealing plates 21 are provided above the mounting plate 2, and the two sealing plates 21 together form a through hole 22 for the product column 5 to pass through; and a handle 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plate 21.

[0030] By setting a sealing plate 21, external dust and debris are prevented from entering the detection area and affecting the detection accuracy. At the same time, the handle 211 makes it easy for operators to move the sealing plate 21, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the product column 5 and improves the convenience of equipment operation.

[0031] Furthermore, in another embodiment, an industrial computer 24 is connected to the top of the rack 1 via a rotating bracket 23.

[0032] By setting up an industrial computer, operators can easily view and operate the equipment, enabling real-time processing, analysis, and storage of data collected by the CCD camera. The industrial computer also facilitates equipment control and parameter settings, improving the equipment's intelligence and ease of operation.

[0033] The working principle of one embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] First, the insertion hole 501 at the bottom of the product column 5 is aligned with the insertion block 402 at the top of the fixture 4, and inserted to initially position the product column 5. Simultaneously, the second connecting hole 502 of the product column 5 is aligned with the first connecting hole 401 of the fixture 4. Then, the locking mechanism begins operation. The Z-axis slide rail 7 drives the slider 8 to lower the lifting column 9, allowing the thread bit 11 of the servo electric screwdriver 10 to insert into the first connecting hole 401 and the second connecting hole 502. The servo electric screwdriver 10 locks and fixes the product column 5 to the fixture 4 with a set torque. After the product column 5 is fixed to the fixture 4, the CCD cameras 6 around the fixture 4 capture images of the gap between the product column 5 and the fixture 4. The image data is transmitted to the industrial computer 24. The industrial computer 24 analyzes whether the gap meets the preset standard using image processing algorithms. Simultaneously, the barcode scanner 19 of the scanning mechanism scans the product, identifying and recording the data. The detection results and QR code are then bound and saved to the database of the industrial computer 24 for easy traceability.
