Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal quality testing technology, and in particular relates to a device for testing the quality of aluminum ingots. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum ingots, due to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, are widely used in aerospace, power packaging, and manufacturing industries. However, in actual industrial production, the surface of aluminum ingots is easily damaged during high-temperature cooling or slag removal, leading to inclusions, flash, and burrs. These defects directly affect the strength, wear resistance, and aesthetics of the aluminum ingots, shortening their service life and causing significant economic losses to enterprises. Therefore, effective inspection of the surface quality of aluminum ingot alloys is crucial.
[0003] Currently, aluminum ingot quality inspection is generally carried out by a combination of manual and mechanical inspection. Existing inspection equipment cannot flip the aluminum ingots during inspection, and cannot perform a comprehensive inspection of the aluminum ingots in one go. In addition, although existing inspection equipment can detect unqualified products, the unqualified products will still be transported down the conveyor belt with qualified products, making it difficult to separate the unqualified products.

[0025] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a device for aluminum ingot quality testing, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is provided.
[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a device for aluminum ingot quality inspection, comprising a first conveyor belt 1, a turntable 3 above the first conveyor belt 1, two symmetrically distributed aluminum ingot openings 6 on the surface of the turntable 3, and a clamping mechanism for clamping the aluminum ingots is provided on one side of the upper surface of the turntable 3 at the aluminum ingot openings 6. The clamping mechanism includes a dual-axis motor 10, with lead screws 11 connected to both shafts of the dual-axis motor 10. The ends of the two lead screws 11, which are far apart from each other, are rotatably connected to a fixed seat 12 via bearings. The bottom of the fixed seat 12 is connected to the upper surface of the turntable 3. The surface is fixedly connected, and a limiting rod 13 parallel to the lead screw 11 is provided between the two fixed seats 12. A connecting plate 14 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 11, and a clamping block 15 is connected to the end of the connecting plate 14 through a connecting post. The surface of the connecting plate 14 is respectively provided with threaded holes for threaded connection with the lead screw 11 and limiting holes for sliding connection with the limiting rod 13. There is a gap between the bottom of the connecting plate 14, the connecting post and the clamping block 15 and the upper surface of the turntable 3. When the first conveyor belt 1 transports the aluminum ingot to the aluminum ingot opening 6 of the turntable 3, it is started. The dual-axis motor 10 on one side of the aluminum ingot opening 6 drives two lead screws 11 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the limiting rod 13, the two connecting plates 14 drive the two clamping blocks 15 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping and fixing the two ends of the aluminum ingot. At this time, when the turntable 3 rotates, the aluminum ingot will rotate with the turntable 3. First, it will rotate to the U-shaped opening 8 for inspection. When the inspection is qualified, the turntable 3 will rotate the qualified aluminum ingot to the end of the first conveyor belt 1, and then the clamping mechanism will release. At this time, the qualified aluminum ingot will pass through... When the first conveyor belt 1 delivers the aluminum ingots, the turntable 3 rotates the unqualified aluminum ingots to the head of the second conveyor belt 2. Then the clamping mechanism releases, and the unqualified aluminum ingots are delivered through the second conveyor belt 2, thus separating qualified and unqualified aluminum ingots and avoiding confusion and errors later. It also avoids the need for further screening of qualified and unqualified aluminum ingots, further improving work efficiency. The U-shaped frame 4 is equipped with a control system for electrical connection with the inspection camera 9, drive motor 5, and dual-axis motor 10.
[0027] A U-shaped frame 4 is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt 1. A drive mechanism for driving the turntable 3 to rotate is provided on the U-shaped frame 4. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 5, which is installed on the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 4. A connecting shaft 7 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the turntable 3. The top end of the connecting shaft 7 passes through the U-shaped frame 4 and is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 4 through a bearing. The shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the connecting shaft 7 through a reducer. By starting the drive motor 5, the connecting shaft 7 will drive the turntable 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the transfer of aluminum ingots between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. A U-shaped opening 8 is formed on the U-shaped frame 4. Inspection cameras 9 are installed on both the upper and lower side walls of the U-shaped opening 8. The turntable 3 is located inside the U-shaped opening 8, so that the two inspection cameras 9 are located on the upper and lower sides of the aluminum ingot opening 6. When the aluminum ingot at the aluminum ingot opening 6 of the turntable 3 is rotated to the U-shaped opening 8, the two inspection cameras 9 will inspect the upper and lower side surfaces of the aluminum ingot, thereby realizing the inspection of both sides of the aluminum ingot at one time, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency. The inspection camera 9 is an existing camera used for inspecting the surface of aluminum ingots, which will not be described in detail here.
[0028] A second conveyor belt 2 is provided on the other side of the first conveyor belt 1. The second conveyor belt 2 is perpendicular to the first conveyor belt 1, and both the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are located below the turntable 3. The second conveyor belt 2 is distributed opposite to the U-shaped frame 4. The head end of the first conveyor belt 1 is used to transport aluminum ingots to be inspected, the tail end of the first conveyor belt 1 is used to transport aluminum ingots that have passed the inspection, and the second conveyor belt 2 is used to transport aluminum ingots that have failed the inspection.
[0029] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
