Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of testing mechanisms, and in particular to a steel needle diameter and length testing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Steel needles, as a fundamental industrial component, play an indispensable role in numerous fields. Manual inspection is the most traditional method for measuring the dimensions of steel needles. Operators use measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers to measure the diameter and length of the needles by visual inspection and manual operation. This method has many drawbacks: low inspection efficiency, limited manual operation speed, and inability to meet the needs of rapid product inspection in large-scale production, leading to extended production cycles and increased production costs for enterprises. Therefore, efficient inspection equipment is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a steel needle diameter and length detection mechanism that improves the efficiency of steel needle detection and enhances ease of use.

[0004] This utility model discloses a steel needle diameter and length detection mechanism, which improves the efficiency and ease of use of steel needle detection. It includes a vibrating discharge plate assembly and a machine body. The vibrating discharge plate assembly is located on the side of the machine body and is connected to it. It also includes a material-picking rotation mechanism, a diameter measuring mechanism, a length measuring mechanism, a detection camera, a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and positions A, B, and C. The material-picking rotation mechanism, diameter measuring mechanism, length measuring mechanism, and detection camera are respectively mounted on the outer wall of the machine body. The first cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the machine body, corresponding to positions A and B. The second cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the machine body, corresponding to position C. The material-picking rotation mechanism corresponds to position C. The vibrating discharge plate assembly conveys the steel needles. Upon entering the machine body, the steel needle moves to position A. Then, the first cylinder moves the needle from position A to position B. The needle is then picked up by a rotating pick-up mechanism. A camera takes a picture of the needle to check its orientation. When the needle is in the correct position, the rotating pick-up mechanism directly picks it up to position C. When the needle is in the wrong position, the rotating pick-up mechanism rotates the needle 180° and transports it to position C. The second cylinder then moves the needle from position C further, facilitating the diameter and length measurement mechanisms. After measurement, the needle is unloaded, and then fed again by a vibrating discharge plate assembly for the next needle measurement. This improves the efficiency and ease of use of the steel needle inspection process.

[0005] Preferably, it also includes position D, position E, and a servo module. Position D is located to the side of position C, position E is located to one side of position D, and the servo module is installed on the outer wall of the machine body, with the servo module corresponding to the position of position D. When the second cylinder pushes the steel needle at position C to continue moving, the steel needle moves to position D, and then the servo module drives the steel needle to move to position E, thereby facilitating the detection of the degree and diameter of the steel needle by the diameter measuring mechanism and the length measuring mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the diameter measuring mechanism includes a third cylinder mounted on the outer wall of the machine body, and the length measuring mechanism includes a fourth cylinder mounted on the outer wall of the machine body. The positions of the third and fourth cylinders are matched with position E. The third cylinder pushes the steel needle to the hard limit. At this time, the length of the steel needle is detected by detecting the moving distance of the moving end of the third cylinder and converting it into the length of the steel needle. The diameter of the steel needle is detected by pressing down the steel needle by the moving end of the fourth cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, displacement sensors are respectively provided on the moving ends of the third cylinder and the fourth cylinder; the moving distance of the moving end of the third cylinder is detected by the displacement sensors, so as to facilitate the conversion of the moving distance of the moving end of the third cylinder into the length of the steel needle, and the moving distance of the moving end of the fourth cylinder is detected by the displacement sensors, so as to facilitate the conversion of the moving distance of the moving end of the fourth cylinder into the diameter of the steel needle, thereby improving the convenience of automatic detection of the length and diameter of the steel needle and improving work efficiency.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the steel needle is conveyed to the machine body by the vibrating discharge plate assembly. The steel needle enters the machine body and moves to position A. Then, the moving end of the first cylinder pushes the steel needle at position A to move to position B. Then, the picking and rotating mechanism clamps and picks up the steel needle. The detection camera takes a picture of the steel needle to detect its orientation. When the position of the steel needle is positive, the picking and rotating mechanism directly clamps the steel needle to position C. When the position of the steel needle is negative, the picking and rotating mechanism drives the steel needle to rotate 180° and then conveys it to position C. Then, the second cylinder pushes the steel needle at position C to continue to move, which facilitates the diameter measuring mechanism and the length measuring mechanism to measure the length and diameter of the steel needle. After the steel needle is measured, it is unloaded. Then, the vibrating discharge plate assembly is used to load the next steel needle for measurement, which improves the efficiency of steel needle detection and improves the convenience of use.

[0015] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a steel needle diameter and length detection mechanism, which improves the detection efficiency and ease of use of steel needles. It includes a vibrating discharge plate assembly 1 and a machine body 17. The vibrating discharge plate assembly 1 is located on the side of the machine body 17 and is connected to the machine body 17. It also includes a material picking and rotating mechanism 2, a diameter measuring mechanism 3, a length measuring mechanism 4, a detection camera 5, a first cylinder 6, a second cylinder 7, positions A8, B9, and C10. The material picking and rotating mechanism 2, the diameter measuring mechanism 3, the length measuring mechanism 4, and the detection camera 5 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the machine body 17. The first cylinder 6 is installed on the outer wall of the machine body 17, corresponding to positions A8 and B9. The second cylinder 7 is installed on the outer wall of the machine body 17, corresponding to position C10. The material picking and rotating mechanism 2 corresponds to position C10.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes position D12, position E13 and servo module 18. Position D12 is located to the side of position C10, position E13 is located to one side of position D12, and servo module 18 is installed on the outer wall of the body 17. The position of servo module 18 corresponds to that of position D12.

[0019] In this embodiment, the steel needle is conveyed to the machine body 17 by the vibrating discharge plate assembly 1. The steel needle enters the machine body 17 and moves to position A8. Then, the moving end of the first cylinder 6 pushes the steel needle at position A8 to move to position B9. The steel needle is then picked up by the material picking and rotating mechanism 2. The detection camera 5 takes a picture of the steel needle to detect its orientation. When the position of the steel needle is positive, the material picking and rotating mechanism 2 directly picks up the steel needle to position C10. When the position of the steel needle is negative, the material picking and rotating mechanism 2 drives the steel needle to rotate 180° and then conveys it to position C10. Then, the second cylinder 7 pushes the steel needle at position C10 to continue moving, so that the diameter measuring mechanism 3 and the length measuring mechanism 4 can measure the length and diameter of the steel needle. After the steel needle is measured, it is unloaded. Then, the vibrating discharge plate assembly 1 is used to load the next steel needle for measurement, which improves the efficiency of steel needle detection and improves the convenience of use.

[0020] Example 2

[0021] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a steel needle diameter and length detection mechanism. The diameter measuring mechanism 3 includes a third cylinder 15, which is installed on the outer wall of the machine body 17. The length measuring mechanism 4 includes a fourth cylinder 16, which is installed on the outer wall of the machine body 17. The positions of the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 are matched with position E13.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, displacement sensors are respectively provided on the moving ends of the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16;

[0023] In this embodiment, after the second cylinder 7 pushes the steel needle at position C10 to continue moving, the steel needle moves to position D12. Then, the servo module 18 drives the steel needle to move to position E13, so that the diameter and length of the steel needle can be detected by the diameter measuring mechanism 3 and the length measuring mechanism 4. The third cylinder 15 pushes the steel needle to the hard limit. At this time, the length of the steel needle is detected by detecting the moving distance of the moving end of the third cylinder 15 and converting it into the length of the steel needle. The diameter of the steel needle is detected by pressing down the moving end of the fourth cylinder 16.

[0024] This utility model discloses a steel needle diameter and length detection mechanism. During operation, a vibrating discharge plate assembly 1 transports a steel needle to the machine body 17. The steel needle enters the machine body 17 and moves to position A8. Then, the moving end of the first cylinder 6 pushes the steel needle at position A8 to move to position B9. The steel needle is then clamped and picked up by 11. A detection camera 5 takes a picture of the steel needle to detect its orientation. When the steel needle is in the correct position, 11 directly clamps it to position C10. When the steel needle is in the reverse position, 11 rotates the steel needle 180° and transports it to position C10. Then, the second cylinder 7 pushes the steel needle at position C10 to continue moving, facilitating the diameter measuring mechanism 3 and the length measuring mechanism 4 to measure the length and diameter of the steel needle. After the steel needle measurement is completed, it is unloaded, and then the vibrating discharge plate assembly 1 loads the next steel needle for measurement.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
