Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weld inspection technology, specifically a machine vision inspection device for weld quality. Background Technology

[0002] A weld is the joint formed after welding. Seam welding is an important resistance welding method for forming welds. It uses a pair of roller electrodes instead of the cylindrical electrodes used in spot welding, which move relative to the workpiece to create overlapping, sealed weld nuggets. Seam welding is widely used in welding oil drums, cans, radiators, aircraft and fuel tanks, as well as sealed containers in jet engines, rockets, and missiles.

[0003] Currently, the inspection and processing of welds all adopt a single-sided scanning operation structure, which results in insufficient scanning penetration and inaccurate detection. At the same time, the fixed-point scanning structure requires the workpiece to be moved, making the inspection and processing more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a machine vision inspection device for weld quality, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, that the current weld inspection process uses a single-sided scanning structure, which results in insufficient scanning penetration and inaccurate inspection. At the same time, the fixed-point scanning structure requires the workpiece to be moved, making the inspection process more complicated.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A machine vision inspection device for weld quality includes a support base plate. A bottom pad is symmetrically threaded and fixed to the bottom surface of the support base plate. A horizontal top groove is formed on the top surface of the support base plate, and a support pad is attached to the top surface of the support base plate. A snap-fit ​​top groove is also formed on the top surface of the support base plate. A transmission motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the support base plate. A telescopic upright is vertically connected to the top surface of the support base plate. A bottom crossbar is horizontally fixed to one side of the telescopic upright. An end fixing box is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom crossbar. A horizontal connecting rod is horizontally connected to one side of the telescopic upright. A vertical connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal connecting rod, and a top fixing box is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical connecting rod. An adjusting screw is horizontally inserted into the inner side of the snap-fit ​​top groove. A bottom snap-fit ​​block is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support pad. An inner cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side of the telescopic upright. A side mounting hole is opened on one side of the telescopic upright. A snap-fit ​​moving block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic upright. A mating screw hole is opened on the side of the snap-fit ​​moving block. An installation end block is fixedly installed at one end of the horizontal connecting rod. The main scanning body is fixedly installed on the inner side of the end fixing box and the top fixing box.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of bottom pads is four, and the four bottom pads are all fixedly connected by screws on the top surface to the bottom surface of the support base plate near the four corner screw holes. The horizontal top groove is horizontally opened at the center line of the top surface of the support base plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: there are two support pads, and the bottom surfaces of the two support pads are both connected to the top opening end of the horizontal top groove. The top groove is horizontally opened on the top surface of the support base plate near one side. The output end of the transmission motor is horizontally fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting screw.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the bottom end of the telescopic pole is connected to the top opening end of the snap-fit ​​top groove, the bottom crossbar is horizontally fixed to the side of the telescopic pole near the bottom end using a telescopic rod structure, and one end of the horizontal connecting rod is connected to the opening end of the side mounting hole.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the vertical connecting rod is vertically fixedly connected at one end away from the telescopic pole, and the vertical connecting rod and the telescopic pole are arranged in parallel to each other. The top fixing box and the end fixing box are arranged in a superimposed and corresponding manner. The bottom end of the bottom locking block is locked in the inner side of the locking top groove, and the side mounting hole is opened on the side of the telescopic pole near the top.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the snap-fit ​​moving block is snap-fitted onto the inner side of the snap-fit ​​top groove, and is threadedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting screw in conjunction with the screw hole. One end of the mounting end block is fixedly snap-fitted onto the inner side of the side mounting hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention pushes two support blocks on the top surface of the support base plate, causing the bottom locking block on the bottom surface to move along the horizontal top groove. After the two support blocks move to a specified distance, the workpiece to be inspected is placed horizontally at the top of the support blocks. The bottom crossbar is then adjusted to extend and retract, causing one end fixing box to be horizontally positioned at the bottom of the workpiece weld. Then, with the coordinated extension and retraction of the telescopic upright, horizontal connecting rod, and vertical connecting rod, the top fixing box connected to the bottom end is positioned at the top surface of the weld. After the internal main scanning body is activated, visual inspection of the weld is performed through coordinated imaging from both above and below. The rotation of the side transmission motor causes the output end to drive the adjusting screw to rotate, causing the locking block to move horizontally along the locking top groove. This allows the telescopic upright to drive the upper and lower main scanning bodies to slowly move horizontally along the weld for scanning and inspection. The multi-directional adjustable structure allows for multi-point weld inspection, and the coordinated visual inspection from both above and below makes the inspection more accurate and efficient.
