Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece inspection, and in particular to a pneumatic module scanning mechanism and inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the inspection of automotive parts is mainly achieved through cameras and moving mechanisms. These moving mechanisms include telescopic cylinders, guide rails, lead screws, and linear modules. Such structures generally suffer from drawbacks such as poor repeatability, slow inspection speed, and high cost. Among these mechanisms, linear modules with cameras for scanning are common. Electric linear modules mainly consist of servo motors, couplings, ball screws, moving sliders, and frames. During use, the ball screw's linear motion speed is low. Prolonged high-speed motion can lead to problems such as motor overheating alarms, ball screw overheating, and peeling of the surface hardened layer. Furthermore, the use, maintenance, and cost of precision components like ball screws are relatively high.
[0003] The main problems with similar institutions in the existing market are as follows:
[0004] 1. Traditional structural testing is slow, and the vehicle cannot achieve high-speed movement;
[0005] 2. Linear modules use servo motors, ball screws, and other mechanisms, resulting in high costs;
[0006] 3. Prolonged high-speed operation of servo motors and ball screws can lead to problems such as motor overheating, low linear motion speed of the ball screw, and peeling of the hardened layer.
[0007] 4. Location cannot be monitored in real time during movement;
[0008] In summary, traditional testing institutions cannot meet actual production needs, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0009] To address the aforementioned problems with existing testing institutions, this paper aims to provide a pneumatic module scanning mechanism and testing device that achieves high-speed and stable motion scanning through the drive of a pneumatic slide table, thereby improving the level of automation and intelligence.

[0019] The aforementioned pneumatic module scanning mechanism further includes: a base frame, wherein the pneumatic slide, the linear guide rail, and the grating are all mounted on the base frame.
[0020] In the aforementioned pneumatic module scanning mechanism, the base frame is provided with a bellows cover, which covers the linear guide rail and the grating.
[0021] The pneumatic module scanning mechanism described above includes a bellows cover comprising a first cover and a second cover, wherein the first cover and the second cover are respectively mounted on both sides of the slide assembly.
