[0002] Metal products, as core components in building industrial systems, are widely used in key industries such as electronics and communications, construction engineering, and energy equipment. The quality of metal products directly affects product performance and safety. As market demands for product quality continue to rise, the quality inspection process for metal products is becoming increasingly critical, serving as a crucial checkpoint for ensuring the stable operation of the industrial chain.

[0003] Traditional metal product inspection mainly relies on manual operation. Inspectors use tools such as calipers and magnifying glasses to meticulously check the dimensional accuracy and surface defects of metal products one by one. This traditional inspection mode has many drawbacks. Inspectors are prone to visual fatigue due to repetitive work for long periods of time, leading to frequent missed inspections and misjudgments. Moreover, manual inspection is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the demands of large-scale production.

[0004] With the development of visual inspection technology, some metal product inspection equipment has incorporated high-speed cameras to improve inspection accuracy and efficiency. However, in existing visual inspection equipment, the placement, inspection, and unloading of metal products are fragmented and lack continuity. After inspection, metal products require manual intervention or complex mechanical structures for transfer, resulting in a significant increase in inspection time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated visual inspection device for metals, which aims to improve the problem of poor continuity in the inspection process of existing metal product inspection equipment, thereby affecting the inspection efficiency.

[0021] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an automated visual inspection device for metal includes an inspection housing 1. A horizontal slide rail 2 is arranged directly above the inspection housing 1. A movable seat 3 is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 2, and a drive component 20 for driving the movable seat 3 to move horizontally is also mounted on the horizontal slide rail 2. A high-speed camera 30 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the movable seat 3. A discharge shell 4 is also fixedly mounted on the inspection housing 1. A vertical frame assembly 5 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the discharge shell 4. A double-wheel rotating frame 6 is mounted in the middle of the vertical frame assembly 5. The double-wheel rotating frame 6 is rotatably connected to the vertical frame assembly 5, and a drive motor 50 for driving the double-wheel rotating frame 6 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the vertical frame assembly 5. Several placement frames 7 are evenly installed in the circumferential direction between the double-wheel rotating frames 6. The two ends of the placement frames 7 are rotatably connected to the double-wheel rotating frames 6. A pusher 8 for pushing the bottom placement frames 7 to flip is also slidably mounted on the discharge shell 4, and an electric cylinder 40 for driving the pusher 8 to move back and forth is fixedly mounted on the discharge shell 4. The horizontal movement of the movable seat 3 and high-speed camera 30 is achieved through the horizontal slide rail 2 and the drive component 20, enabling the inspection of metal products at different positions, thus improving the flexibility and comprehensiveness of the inspection. In actual use, it can achieve the purpose of rapid sequential inspection in rows. By fixing the stand frame assembly 5 on the upper end face of the discharge shell 4, the double-wheel rotating frame 6 can be stably installed in the stand frame assembly 5. It can also be ensured that the angle of the double-wheel rotating frame 6 can be adjusted by the drive motor 50 during use, and the double-wheel rotating frame 6 can be used to flip different placement frames 7 to the top for inspection. Therefore, through the setting of the double-wheel rotating frame 6 and the placement frames 7, metal products can be placed in an orderly manner and inspected cyclically by rotation, improving the inspection efficiency. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the push frame 8 and the electric cylinder 40, the inspected metal products can be pushed out from the placement frames 7, realizing automatic discharge and further improving the automation level of the device.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 20 includes a first pulley 201, a second pulley 202, and a transmission belt 203. The first pulley 201 and the second pulley 202 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the horizontal slide rail 2. The transmission belt 203 connects the first pulley 201 and the second pulley 202. An auxiliary motor for driving the first pulley 201 is also fixedly mounted on the horizontal slide rail 2. The drive unit 20 uses a pulley and transmission belt 203 structure. This transmission method has the advantages of smooth transmission and low noise, ensuring that the movable seat 3 moves smoothly on the horizontal slide rail 2. This results in clearer and more accurate images captured by the high-speed camera 30 during movement, improving detection accuracy. Simultaneously, the auxiliary motor drives the first pulley 201 to rotate, precisely controlling the moving speed and position of the movable seat 3 to meet different detection requirements.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the discharge shell 4 includes a top shell plate 41 and an inclined plate 42. The inclined plate 42 is installed on the lower end face of the top shell plate 41 and is integrally formed with the top shell plate 41. A feeding port 411 is provided in the middle of the top shell plate 41. The integrally formed design of the top shell plate 41 and the inclined plate 42 of the discharge shell 4 ensures that the overall structure is sturdy and durable. The opening of the feeding port 411 facilitates the better dropping of metal products onto the inclined plate 42, while the inclined plate 42 facilitates the smooth sliding of the tested metal products for discharge, ensuring smooth discharge and improving the efficiency of the entire testing process.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support frame assembly 5 includes a connecting middle plate 51 and a vertical panel 52. The vertical panel 52 is fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting middle plate 51 and is vertically fixed to the upper end face of the top shell plate 41. The structure of the connecting middle plate 51 and the vertical panel 52 of the support frame assembly 5 provides stable support for the double-wheel rotating frame 6, ensuring the stability of the double-wheel rotating frame 6 during rotation, so that the placement frame 7 can rotate smoothly and avoid affecting the placement and inspection effect of metal products due to shaking.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the double-wheel rotating frame 6 includes a central shaft 61, a wheel 62, and a positioning shaft 63 for the rotational mounting of the placement frame 7. The wheel 62 is fixedly mounted at both ends of the central shaft 61, and the positioning shaft 63 is evenly mounted on the inner surface of the wheel 62 along the circumferential direction, and is fixedly connected to the wheel 62. The structural design of the central shaft 61, wheel 62, and positioning shaft 63 of the double-wheel rotating frame 6 allows the placement frame 7 to be evenly distributed and stably mounted on the double-wheel rotating frame 6. The rotation of the wheel 62 drives the rotation of the placement frame 7, realizing the cyclic detection of metal products. The positioning shaft 63 ensures the rotational flexibility of the placement frame 7, ensuring that the metal products can accurately reach the detection position.

[0027] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the placement rack 7 includes a top plate 71, a V-shaped corner plate 72, and a load-bearing rod 73. The upper surface of the top plate 71 has several placement slots 711. The V-shaped corner plate 72 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top plate 71, and the load-bearing rod 73 is fixedly installed in the V-shaped corner plate 72. The placement slots 711 on the top plate 71 of the placement rack 7 can accurately position metal products, preventing them from shaking or shifting during rotation, thus ensuring the accuracy of images captured by the high-speed camera 30. The V-shaped corner plate 72 and the load-bearing rod 73 ensure that the placement rack 7 remains balanced during rotation, keeping the top plate 71 horizontal at all times, and allowing it to flip smoothly when pushed by the pusher 8, thus facilitating the unloading of metal products.

The pusher plate 82 is fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbar 81, and the lower end of the pusher plate 82 is slidably installed on the top shell plate 41. The structure of the crossbar 81 and the pusher plate 82 of the pusher 8 can stably push the bottom placement rack 7 to flip. The slidable installation of the lower end of the pusher plate 82 on the top shell plate 41 ensures the smooth movement of the pusher 8, enabling the pusher 8 to accurately push the placement rack 7 and realize the automatic unloading of metal products.

[0029] Working principle: The metal products to be inspected are placed in the placement slot 711 of the placement rack 7. The drive motor 50 is started, driving the double-wheel rotating frame 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the placement rack 7 to rotate, causing the metal products to move sequentially below the high-speed camera 30. The auxiliary motor is started, driving the pulley 201 to rotate, which drives the movable seat 3 to move on the horizontal slide rail 2 via the transmission belt 203, allowing the high-speed camera 30 to continuously photograph and inspect a row of metal products sequentially. After the inspection is completed, when the placement rack 7 rotates to the bottom, the electric cylinder 40 is started, driving the pusher 8 to move forward. The push plate 82 of the pusher 8 pushes the bottom placement rack 7 to flip, pouring the inspected metal products from the placement rack 7 onto the inclined plate 42 of the discharge shell 4, realizing automatic discharge. The above steps are repeated to achieve continuous inspection of metal products.
