Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product testing, specifically to a continuous product testing device for a machining center. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous product inspection in machining centers is a real-time, dynamic monitoring technology that deeply integrates quality inspection into the machining process in modern intelligent manufacturing. By deploying multiple types of sensors and intelligent detection systems on the machining center, it collects and analyzes data immediately during or after workpiece processing, enabling immediate defect detection, automatic adjustment of process parameters, and closed-loop control of production quality. If defects or damage occur during the inspection process, feedback is provided through the continuous product inspection device to improve the product quality pass rate.

[0003] However, existing continuous product inspection devices only perform single-sided inspection, which limits the scope of inspection and may result in missed detections. Furthermore, they cannot correct the product's position during inspection, leading to product displacement and incomplete inspection areas, thus affecting the accuracy of product inspection and reducing the precision of the inspection process.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0010] One set of base frames is equipped with a photoelectric sensor at the top, and the other set of base frames is equipped with a positioning sensor at the top.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to drive the flipping component to flip under the action of the driving component, so that the product can be inspected from the reverse side after the front side is inspected, overcoming the limitation of traditional one-sided inspection, improving the inspection range and efficiency, realizing comprehensive inspection of both sides of the product to avoid missed inspections, and thus ensuring the quality of the product during processing, the inspection auxiliary component includes a mounting shell installed at one end of the working cover.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to drive the correction plate to push the product under the action of the electric push rod, and to correct the left and right deviation of the product in both directions, so as to achieve stable correction of the product when it deviates from the center line of the conveyor belt, effectively prevent the product from failing the inspection due to deviation during the inspection process, and improve the overall stability and reliability of conveying and inspection, the product correction component includes a bracket installed on one side of the working cover, with the electric push rod 1 symmetrically arranged on one side of the bracket, and the correction plate arranged on one side of the electric push rod 1.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to ensure that when the detector identifies a defect in a product, the electric push rod two can be driven by the control panel to quickly extend the push plate and contact plate from the side of the conveyor belt, accurately pushing the target defective product out of the conveyor path, thus achieving the purpose of rejection. This effectively ensures that all products entering subsequent processes are qualified products, eliminating the risk of defective products being used from the source, and ensuring product quality and production reliability. The product handling component includes a connecting frame installed on one side of the conveyor belt, an electric push rod two on one side of the connecting frame, a push plate on one side of the electric push rod two, and a contact plate connected to one side of the push plate.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a continuous product inspection device for a machining center is provided.

[0029] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the continuous product inspection device for machining center according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a conveyor belt 1 for conveying the processed products. Two sets of base frames 2 are provided at the bottom end of the conveyor belt 1, a control operating table 5 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 1, and a working cover 4 is provided at the top of the control operating table 5.

[0030] The working cover 4 is equipped with a detection auxiliary component 3 for adjusting the product status, and the top two sides of the working cover 4 are equipped with detectors 6 for continuous detection of the product status.

[0031] One side of the work cover 4 is equipped with a product correction component 7 that enables precise product positioning, and one side of the conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a product processing component 8 that enables defective product rejection based on the detection results of the detector 6.

[0032] One set of base frames 2 has a photoelectric sensor 9 installed at the top, and the other set of base frames 2 has a positioning sensor 10 installed at the top.

[0033] Specifically, the control console 5 is equipped with a human-machine interface and a PLC (programmable logic controller). The human-machine interface is the interaction interface between the operator and the automation system. Its main function is to display the real-time operating status and input control commands. The PLC is used to execute specific control tasks, such as switch and sensor signal acquisition and processing.

[0034] It should be noted that the photoelectric sensor 9 can be model E18-D808 or GP2Y0A21YK0F, and the positioning sensor 10 can be model SH-302 or SH-305, etc.

[0035] In one embodiment, the detection auxiliary component 3 includes a mounting shell 301 installed at one end of the working cover 4. A servo motor 302 is provided on one side of the mounting shell 301. A drive member 304 is provided through the output shaft of the servo motor 302 and extends through the mounting shell 301. A rotating rod 305 is provided in the middle of the drive member 304, and a flipping member 303 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 305. The contact area between the conveyor belt 1 and the flipping member 303 is a hollow structure. The drive member 304 includes a drive wheel 3041 installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 302. A locking rod 3042 and a grooved wheel 304 are provided on one side of the drive wheel 3041. 43, and the rotating rod 305 is connected to the middle of the grooved wheel 3043; the outer side of the grooved wheel 3043 is provided with an intermittent groove 3044, and the intermittent groove 3044 cooperates with the locking rod 3042; the flipping part 303 includes a connecting plate 3031 sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 305, and a clamping rod 3032 is provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 3031, so that the flipping part 303 can be driven to flip under the action of the driving part 304, so that the product can be inspected on the reverse side after the front side is inspected, solving the limitation of traditional inspection of only one side, improving the inspection range and efficiency, realizing comprehensive inspection of the front and back sides of the product to avoid missed inspection, and thus ensuring the quality of the product during the processing.

[0036] The working principle of the detection auxiliary component 3 is as follows: The servo motor 302 is started by controlling the operating console 5, and then the drive wheel 3041 is driven to rotate under the drive of the servo motor 302. During the rotation, it drives the locking rod 3042 to rotate as well. When the grooved wheel 3043 rotates intermittently, it drives the rotating rod 305 and the flipping part 303 on its outer side to flip. The contact area between the conveyor belt 1 and the flipping part 303 is a hollow structure, which can provide the flipping part 303 with room to move and prevent interference with the conveying. The product conveyed to the area of ​​the flipping part 303 contacts the clamping rod 3032. Under the action of the drive component 304, the clamping rod 3032 is driven to rotate, realizing the flipping of the product, which is convenient for the next step of detection.

[0037] It should be explained that the drive wheel 3041, locking rod 3042, grooved wheel 3043, and intermittent groove 3044 constitute the Geneva mechanical structure. When the drive wheel 3041 rotates until the locking rod 3042 is aligned with one of the intermittent grooves 3044 of the grooved wheel 3043, the locking rod 3042 begins to enter the intermittent groove 3044. The locking rod 3042 contacts the wall of the intermittent groove 3044 and begins to push. As the drive wheel 3041 continues to rotate, the locking rod 3042 slides along the inside of the intermittent groove 3044, and the grooved wheel 3043 is forced to rotate 90 degrees, thereby driving the flipping part 303 to rotate intermittently.

[0038] In one embodiment, the product correction component 7 includes a bracket 701 installed on one side of the working cover 4. An electric push rod 702 is symmetrically arranged on one side of the bracket 701, and a correction plate 703 is arranged on one side of the electric push rod 702. Under the action of the electric push rod 702, the correction plate 703 can be driven to push the product and correct the left and right deviation of the product in both directions. This enables stable correction of the product when it deviates from the center line of the conveyor belt 1, effectively preventing the product from failing the inspection due to deviation during the inspection process, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the conveying and inspection.

[0039] The working principle of the product correction component 7 is as follows: When the product is found to deviate from the center line of the conveyor belt 1, the electric push rod 702 is driven by the control panel 5 to move, so that the correction plate 703 pushes the product in the direction of deviation, and gradually adjusts it to the center line position of the conveyor belt 1. Since the electric push rod 702 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right, it can correct the left and right deviation of the product in both directions. And by precisely controlling the extension and retraction stroke of the correction plate 703, stable correction of products of different sizes can be achieved, thereby effectively preventing the product from failing the inspection due to deviation in the inspection process, and improving the overall stability and reliability of conveying and inspection.

[0040] In one embodiment, the product processing component 8 includes a connecting frame 801 installed on one side of the conveyor belt 1. An electric push rod 802 is provided on one side of the connecting frame 801, and a push plate 803 is provided on one side of the electric push rod 802. A contact plate 804 is connected to one side of the push plate 803. When the detector 6 identifies a defect in a product, the electric push rod 802 can be driven to move by the control panel 5, so that the push plate 803 and the contact plate 804 can quickly extend from the side of the conveyor belt 1, accurately pushing the target defective product out of the conveyor path, achieving the purpose of rejection. This effectively ensures that all products entering subsequent processes are qualified products, eliminating the risk of defective products being used from the source, and ensuring product quality and production reliability.

[0041] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0042] In practical applications, workers place the finished products from the machining center onto conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 moves the products, and during this movement, the control console 5 drives the product correction component 7 to correct the product's deviation and adjust it to the centerline of the conveyor belt 1. When the product is conveyed to the photoelectric sensor 9, the photoelectric sensor 9 triggers the detector 6 to capture an image of the front (back) of the product and transmits the image to the control console 5. Since the control console 5 has a built-in graphics processing unit and embedded image processing algorithm, it analyzes the state of the front (back) image of the product to determine whether there is any damage, cracks, or defects on the front (back) of the product. The identification result is sent to the control console 5 to display whether the product is qualified. If defects or damage are found, a control command is generated to trigger the product processing component 8.

[0043] Simultaneously, when the control console 5 receives the front (back) image of the product, the detection auxiliary component 3 is activated through the control console 5. The servo motor 302 is used to flip the product and trigger the detector 6 to capture the back (front) image of the product. The image is then transmitted to the control console 5. The image processing algorithm built into the control console 5 is used to analyze the state of the back (front) image of the product, determine whether there is any damage, cracks or defects on the front (back) of the product, and send the identification result to the control console 5 to display whether the product is qualified. If defects or damage are found, a control command is generated to trigger the product processing component 8.

[0044] The control console 5 receives the inspection results from both sides of the product. When defects are found on either side or both sides, the product processing component 8 is triggered. The positioning sensor 10 then uses RFID tags to obtain the location of the defective product. Based on the distance data read by the positioning sensor 10, the current position of the product is calculated and compared with the preset standard position. When the difference is within the specified distance range, the control console 5 adjusts the control parameters of the product processing component 8 and sends a start command through the human-machine interface (HMI). This command is transmitted to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) through the HMI. After receiving the command, the PLC drives the electric push rod 802, causing the push plate 803 to quickly extend from the side of the conveyor belt 1, accurately pushing the target defective product out of the conveyor path, thus achieving the purpose of rejection. This effectively ensures that all products entering the subsequent processes are qualified. After the rejection work is completed, the PLC drives the electric push rod 802 to return to the initial position.

[0045] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the structure is simple and the operation is convenient. It can realize the status detection of the product under the action of the detector 6, ensuring the quality of the product during processing. Furthermore, by setting the detection auxiliary component 3, the flipping component 303 can be driven to flip under the action of the driving component 304, allowing the product to be detected from the reverse side after the front side is detected. This overcomes the limitation of traditional methods that only detect one side, improving the detection range and efficiency, achieving comprehensive detection of both the front and back sides of the product to avoid missed detections, and thus ensuring the quality of the product during processing. This utility model, by setting the product correction component 7, can drive the correction plate 703 to push the product under the action of the electric push rod 702, performing bidirectional correction of the product's left and right deviations. This enables stable correction of the product when it deviates from the centerline of the conveyor belt 1, effectively preventing detection failure due to product deviation during the detection process, and improving the overall stability and reliability of conveying and detection. This invention, by setting up a product processing component 8, enables the detector 6 to identify a defect in a product. The control panel 5 can then drive the electric push rod 802 to move, causing the push plate 803 and contact plate 804 to quickly extend from the side of the conveyor belt 1. This precisely pushes the target defective product out of the conveyor path, achieving the purpose of rejection. This effectively ensures that all products entering subsequent processes are qualified, eliminating the risk of defective products being used from the source and ensuring product quality and production reliability.
