[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent visual inspection devices, specifically an intelligent visual inspection device for cable sheath defects. Background Technology

[0002] As a vital carrier for power transmission and communication, the quality and reliability of cables are of paramount importance. The cable sheath, as the outermost protective structure of the cable, not only serves functions such as insulation, moisture protection, and wear resistance, but also directly affects the cable's appearance and service life. However, during the cable production process, due to various factors such as raw materials, production processes, and equipment precision, various defects often appear on the cable sheath, such as dents, bulges, scratches, damage, and uneven coloring.

[0003] In existing technologies, the inspection of cable sheaths involves placing the cable on an inspection workbench and then using a vision inspection device to complete the inspection. When the cable to be inspected is long, the detection range of traditional vision inspection devices is limited, and they cannot achieve full coverage of the cable sheath. Due to blind spots in the detection, some sheath defects are missed, making it difficult to meet the complete inspection requirements of long cable sheaths. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent visual inspection device for cable sheath defects includes an inspection workbench 1, an outer circular plate 4 fixedly installed on the upper end of the inspection workbench 1, an angle adjustment component 2 for adjusting the angle of the visual inspection device is provided on the upper end of the outer circular plate 4, a visual inspection mechanism 5 is provided above the angle adjustment component 2, and a control console 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the inspection workbench 1 near the center.

[0022] In a specific embodiment, the cable to be inspected is placed at the center of the outer circular plate 4 on the inspection workbench 1. The outer circular plate 4 is fixed to the upper end of the inspection workbench 1. The angle adjustment component 2 is installed on the upper end of the outer circular plate 4. The function of the angle adjustment component 2 is to adjust the inspection angle of the vision inspection mechanism 5. The vision inspection mechanism 5 needs to observe cable sheath defects from different angles. After the vision inspection mechanism 5 adjusts the angle, it images the cable sheath placed on the inspection workbench 1. The camera will capture images of the cable sheath. These images contain various features of the cable sheath, including color, texture, and possible defect information. For example, for defects such as sheath damage, bubbles, and protrusions, the vision inspection mechanism 5 transmits the acquired image signals to the control console 3. The control console 3 is the control center of the entire device. It contains an image processing system. Common vision inspection mechanism 5 models in the prior art are In-Sight 5705 and In-Sight 5705C.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, the angle adjustment component 2 includes a fixing plate 21. One side of the fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the detection workbench 1, and a servo motor 22 is fixedly installed on the other side of the fixing plate 21. The output shaft of the servo motor 22 is driven to connect a rotating rod 23. One end of the rotating rod 23 is fixedly installed with a conical tooth 24, and an annular tooth 213 is meshed with the outer side of the conical tooth 24.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the detection angle of the vision inspection mechanism 5, the servo motor 22 receives the instruction and the output shaft starts to rotate, driving the rotating rod 23 to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating rod 23 drives the conical tooth 24 at its end to rotate. The conical tooth 24 meshes with the ring tooth 213, transmitting the rotational motion to the ring tooth 213. The ring tooth 213 rotates around its center, driving the vision inspection mechanism 5 above it to rotate as a whole, thereby realizing the adjustment of the detection angle.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, an inner circular plate 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer circular plate 4. Fixing holes 26 are opened through the interior of both the outer circular plate 4 and the inner circular plate 27. A bushing 29 is fixedly sleeved inside the multiple fixing holes 26. A rolling column 210 is sleeved inside the multiple bushings 29. The multiple rolling columns 210 are located inside the space between the outer circular plate 4 and the inner circular plate 27. An annular groove 28 is formed between the outer circular plate 4 and the inner circular plate 27. An annular ring 212 is in contact with the upper outer surface of the multiple rolling columns 210. The annular ring 212 is movably sleeved inside the annular groove 28. The upper end of the annular ring 212 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the annular tooth 213.

[0026] Furthermore, a curved tooth 214 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the annular ring 212, and a rectangular bracket 25 is slidably fitted onto the curved tooth 214. A through-hole 211 is opened through the interior of the rectangular bracket 25. A vision inspection mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the rectangular bracket 25. A gear 218 is meshed with the outer side of the curved tooth 214. A rotating rod 217 is fixedly fitted inside the gear 218. Both the gear 218 and the rotating rod 217 are fitted inside the through-hole 211. An electric motor 216 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating rod 217. The output shaft of the electric motor 216 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 217. One end of the electric motor 216 is fixedly installed on one side of the rectangular bracket 25.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the outer circular plate 4 and the inner circular plate 27 are fixedly connected by a fixing hole 26 and a bushing 29. The rolling column 210 is located in the annular groove 28, and the annular ring 212 is movably fitted inside the annular groove 28. Its upper end is fixedly connected to the annular tooth 213, and its lower end contacts the rolling column 210. When it is necessary to adjust the detection angle of the vision inspection mechanism 5, it further drives the annular tooth 213 to rotate around its center, thereby driving the annular ring 212 to rotate on the surface of multiple rolling columns 210. At the same time, the multiple rolling columns 210 can support the annular ring 212 and the annular tooth 213. The rolling action of the ring 212 reduces friction. When the rotation angle of the ring ring 212 and the ring tooth 213 is adjusted, the curved tooth 214 is driven to rotate. This further drives the rotating rod 217 to rotate via the electric motor 216, which in turn drives the gear 218 to rotate. When the gear 218 rotates on the curved tooth 214, it drives the rectangular bracket 25 and the vision inspection mechanism 5 to rotate on the curved tooth 214. The rotation adjustment of the ring ring 212 and the ring tooth 213, and the gear 218 and the curved tooth 214 achieves the angle adjustment of the vision inspection mechanism 5.

[0028] In use, when the detection angle of the vision inspection mechanism 5 needs to be adjusted, the servo motor 22 receives the command and its output shaft begins to rotate, driving the rotating rod 23 to rotate as well. The rotation of the rotating rod 23 causes the conical tooth 24 at its end to rotate. The conical tooth 24 meshes with the ring tooth 213, transmitting the rotational motion to the ring tooth 213. The ring tooth 213 rotates around its center, causing the entire vision inspection mechanism 5 above it to rotate, thus adjusting the detection angle. This further causes the ring tooth 213 to rotate around its center, which in turn causes the ring ring 212 to rotate on the surface of multiple rolling columns 210. At the same time, the multiple rolling columns 210 can support the ring. The rolling action of the ring 212 and the ring tooth 213, and the rolling column 210 reduces friction. When the ring 212 and the ring tooth 213 are rotated at an angle, the curved tooth 214 is driven to rotate. This, in turn, drives the electric motor 216 to rotate the rotating rod 217, which in turn drives the gear 218 to rotate. When the gear 218 rotates on the curved tooth 214, it drives the rectangular bracket 25 and the vision inspection mechanism 5 to rotate on the curved tooth 214. By adjusting the rotation of the ring 212 and the ring tooth 213, and the gear 218 and the curved tooth 214, the angle of the vision inspection mechanism 5 can be adjusted.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
