[0002] An oil seal is a common term for general sealing components; simply put, it's a seal for lubricating oil. It's a mechanical component used to seal grease, isolating lubricated parts from power-generating parts in transmission systems to prevent lubricating oil leakage.

[0003] To ensure the quality of oil seals before they leave the factory, automated vision inspection equipment is needed to perform visual inspections. Existing automated vision inspection equipment includes a conveyor belt, a rotary table, and a CCD camera assembly. The oil seals are transported to the rotary table via the conveyor belt. The rotary table has multiple stations for processes such as loading, trimming, inspection, and unloading. When inspecting oil seals, it is necessary to wait for the processes at other stations to be completed before inspection can be carried out, resulting in low inspection efficiency.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tilting feeding mechanism for oil seal testing, which includes a frame 10, a tilting frame 20, a clamping assembly 30, a tilting drive assembly 40, and a testing platform 50. The tilting frame 20 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10. The drive end of the tilting drive assembly 40 is connected to the tilting frame 20. The tilting drive assembly 40 is configured to drive the tilting frame 20 to rotate to a first position or a second position. The clamping assembly 30 is disposed on the tilting frame 20 and is configured to clamp or release the oil seal to be tested. The testing platform 50 is disposed on one side of the frame 10 and is located below the second position. The testing platform 50 is configured to receive the oil seal to be tested. The tilting drive assembly 40 drives the clamping assembly 30 to rotate to the first position so as to clamp the oil seal to be tested on the conveyor line through the clamping assembly 30. The tilting drive assembly 40 drives the clamping assembly 30 and the oil seal to be tested clamped by the clamping assembly 30 to move to the second position so as to release the oil seal to be tested to the testing platform 50 through the clamping assembly 30.

[0038] As can be seen, through the cooperation of the flipping frame 20, the clamping component 30 and the flipping drive component 40, the oil seals can be grabbed from the conveyor line and directly transported to the inspection platform 50 for appearance inspection. The appearance inspection of the oil seals can be carried out without waiting for the subsequent process to be completed, which improves the loading efficiency of the oil seals and thus improves the inspection efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 30 includes a drive member 31, a first gripper 32, and a second gripper 33. The fixed end of the drive member 31 is disposed on the flipping frame 20, and the drive end of the drive member 31 is connected to the first gripper 32 and / or the second gripper 33. The drive member 31 is configured to drive the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33 to move closer or further away from each other along a first direction to clamp or release the oil seal to be tested.

[0040] As can be seen, by controlling the opening and closing of the two grippers through the drive component 31, the clamping force can be precisely adjusted, which can ensure that the oil seal does not fall off during transportation and avoid deformation and damage to the oil seal due to excessive clamping force.

[0041] In one embodiment, a limiting groove 34 is provided on the clamping surface of the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33, and the two limiting grooves 34 are provided correspondingly.

[0042] It can be seen that by setting the limiting groove 34, the oil seal is positioned by the cooperation of the two limiting grooves 34, ensuring the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0043] In one embodiment, the drive component 31 includes a cylinder and a guide assembly. The cylinder body is fixedly mounted on the tilting frame 20, and the drive end of the cylinder is connected to the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33. Guide assemblies are provided between the first gripper 32 and the tilting frame 20 and between the second gripper 33 and the tilting frame 20. The guide assemblies are configured to guide the movement of the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33 in a first direction.

[0044] It can be seen that by setting the guide component, the smooth movement of the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33 is achieved, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the gripping of the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33.

[0045] In one embodiment, the guide assembly includes a linear guide rail and a slider. The linear guide rail is fixedly mounted on the flipping frame 20, and sliders are fixed on both the first gripper 32 and the second gripper 33. The sliders are slidably mounted on the linear guide rail along a first direction, providing a guide assembly with a simple structure and easy implementation.

[0046] In one embodiment, the flipping drive assembly 40 includes a first motor 41 and a transmission assembly 42. Both ends of the flipping frame 20 along the first direction are rotatably mounted on the frame 10 via rotating shafts. The fixed end of the first motor 41 is mounted on the frame 10. The driving end of the first motor 41 is connected to the first end of the transmission assembly 42, and the second end of the transmission assembly 42 is connected to the rotating shaft at one end of the flipping frame 20.

[0047] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 42 includes a first synchronous pulley 420, a second synchronous pulley 421, and a synchronous belt 422. The first synchronous pulley 420 is coaxially connected to the shaft at one end of the tilting frame 20. The second synchronous pulley 421 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 and located below the first synchronous pulley 420. The drive shaft of the first motor 41 is coaxially connected to the second synchronous pulley 421. The synchronous belt 422 is sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 420 and the second synchronous pulley 421.

[0048] It can be seen that, through the cooperation of the first synchronous pulley 420, the second synchronous pulley 421, the synchronous belt 422, and the first motor 41, a transmission component with simple structure, high conveying efficiency, and high conveying accuracy is provided.

[0049] In one embodiment, the flip-type loading mechanism for oil seal testing also includes a lifting drive assembly 60, which is configured to drive the testing platform 50 to lift and move the oil seal to the receiving station and the testing station.

[0050] As can be seen, the lifting function can adjust the height of the testing platform 50 to accommodate different models of oil seals, thereby enabling testing with testing equipment and improving the flexibility and compatibility of the feeding mechanism.

[0051] In one implementation, the lifting drive assembly 60 includes a second motor, a ball screw, and a screw nut. The ball screw is vertically mounted on the frame and rotatably along its own axis. The screw nut is sleeved on the ball screw and is fixedly connected to the detection platform 50. The second motor is spaced apart on one side of the frame 10, and the shaft of the second motor is connected to the ball screw. The second motor is configured to drive the ball screw to rotate along its own axis. The second motor drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby raising and lowering the screw nut, and thus raising and lowering the detection platform 50.

[0052] As can be seen, the ball screw converts the rotational motion of the second motor into the linear motion of the screw nut, resulting in high transmission efficiency and small error, thus ensuring the positional accuracy of the detection platform 50 during lifting.

[0053] As one implementation, a sensing component 51 is provided on the detection platform 50. The sensing component is used to detect whether there is an oil seal on the detection platform 50, and then control the lifting drive component 60 to work.

[0054] Specifically, the sensing component 51 includes a transmitter and a receiver, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the detection platform 50. The transmitter is used to emit a light beam, and the receiver is used to receive the light beam emitted by the transmitter. When there is an oil seal on the detection platform 50, the oil seal will block the light beam emitted by the transmitter; otherwise, the receiver will receive the light beam emitted by the transmitter.

[0055] As can be seen, the sensing component 51 monitors the platform for oil seals in real time. The lifting drive component 60 is triggered only when an oil seal is detected, thus avoiding the platform from lifting or lowering without a load or malfunctioning, and improving the intelligence and efficiency of the process.

[0056] The working principle of the aforementioned tilting feeding mechanism for oil seal testing is as follows:

[0057] The clamping assembly 30 is rotated to the first position by the flipping drive assembly 40 to clamp the oil seal to be tested on the conveyor line. After clamping, the flipping drive assembly 40 drives the clamping assembly 30 and the oil seal to be tested clamped by the clamping assembly 30 to move to the second position, so that the oil seal to be tested can be released to the testing platform 50 located at the receiving station by the clamping assembly 30. The lifting drive assembly 60 drives the testing platform 50 to rise or fall, so as to move the oil seal from the receiving station to the testing station.

[0058] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0059] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples.
