Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat casting inspection technology, specifically a flat casting inspection fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and manufacturing process of flat castings, accurate detection of the flatness of the casting working surface is a key step to ensure product quality. In the existing technology, the flatness of the casting working surface is verified by a fixed three-dimensional laser scanner.

[0003] However, in the prior art, after the plate is placed on the support platform, the flat casting is in close contact with the upper outer surface of the support platform, which makes it inconvenient to pick up and put down the material. Moreover, the prior art is not stable enough after the flat casting is placed on the support platform. When the support platform moves, the flat casting is prone to relative displacement with the support platform. Especially for castings with smooth surfaces or heavy weight, the position may be shifted due to inertia or vibration, which will affect the detection accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a tooling for inspecting flat castings. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] This embodiment is a tooling for inspecting flat castings.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a substrate 1 and a top plate 2. A first support plate 3 is fixedly installed between the left and right ends of the upper outer surface of the substrate 1 and the left and right ends of the lower outer surface of the top plate 2. A material support structure 10 is provided at both the left and right ends of the upper outer surface of the top plate 2. The material support structure 10 includes a second support plate 16, a boom 17, a hydraulic rod 18, a material support platform 19, and a sliding hole 20. Guide rails 4 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the upper outer surface of the top plate 2. Limiting blocks 5 are fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the upper outer surface of the guide rails 4. A moving structure 9 is slidably connected in the guide rails 4. The moving structure 9 includes a moving plate 11, a sliding groove 12, a handle 13, an electromagnet 14, and a through groove 15. A drag chain groove 6 is fixedly installed on the rear outer surface of the top plate 2. A support frame 7 is fixedly installed on the rear outer surface of the substrate 1. A fixed three-dimensional laser scanner 8 is fixedly installed at the front end of the upper part of the support frame 7, and the fixed three-dimensional laser scanner 8 is located above the middle of the top plate 2.

[0026] The sliding groove 12 is formed on the front and rear sides of the lower outer surface of the movable plate 11. The movable plate 11 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 4 through the sliding groove 12. The handle 13 is fixedly installed on the front outer surface of the movable plate 11. There are two sets of electromagnets 14, which are embedded and fixed on the front and rear sides of the upper outer surface of the movable plate 11. The through groove 15 is formed in the middle of the upper outer surface of the movable plate 11 and extends to the lower outer surface of the movable plate 11. There are two sets of material support structures 10, and two sets of sliding holes 20 are formed on the upper outer surface of the top plate 2. At both ends of the material support platform 19, the outer wall of the material support platform 19 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 20; the hydraulic rod 18 is fixed between the middle of the upper outer surface of the second support plate 16 and the middle of the lower outer surface of the material support platform 19; the boom 17 is fixed between the outer surfaces of both sides of the second support plate 16 and the lower outer surface of the top plate 2; the planar dimension of the material support platform 19 is smaller than the opening dimension of the through groove 15, and when the material support platform 19 rises to the highest position, its top plane is higher than the upper surface of the moving plate 11; when it falls to the lowest position, its top plane is lower than the upper surface of the top plate 2.

[0027] It should be noted that this utility model is a tooling for inspecting flat castings. During loading, the moving plate 11 in the moving structure 9 is moved to one side of the limit stop 5 on the upper right side of the guide rail 4. The limit stop 5 limits the movement. Then, the hydraulic rod 18 in the right-side material support structure 10 drives the material support platform 19 to rise along the sliding hole 20. The upper part of the material support platform 19 extends through the sliding hole 20 to the upper part of the moving plate 11. The flat casting is then placed on the upper outer surface of the material support platform 19. The hydraulic rod 18 drives the material support platform 19 to descend, causing the upper end of the material support platform 19 to move into the sliding hole 20. The flat casting descends with the material support platform 19, causing the material support platform 19 to remain on the upper outer surface of the moving plate 11. The flat casting is then fixed by the electromagnet 14. The moving plate 11 is then manually moved along the sliding groove 12. The guide rail 4 slides, moving the flat casting to the lower end of the fixed 3D laser scanner 8. The fixed 3D laser scanner 8 inspects the flat casting by scanning the surface of the object with a laser beam and recording the 3D coordinate data (point cloud data) of each point on the surface. The collected point cloud is compared with the ideal plane, and the deviation value is calculated to evaluate the flatness. Since the fixed 3D laser scanner 8 is existing technology, it is readily available to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. After that, the inspected moving structure 9 is moved to the position of the left end limit block 5 on the upper outer surface of the guide rail 4. Then, the hydraulic rod 18 in the left-side material support structure 10 drives the material support platform 19 to rise. The electromagnet 14 is de-energized and demagnetized. The material support platform 19 lifts the flat casting on the upper end of the moving plate 11, making it easier to unload the flat casting.
