Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection equipment technology, specifically a probe detection image projection system. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as industrial production and scientific research testing, accurate detection of the internal structure or surface characteristics of objects is crucial. Existing probe detection projection systems on the market have some shortcomings. On the one hand, they lack compatibility, as they can only use one type of camera system. When using cameras from other manufacturers, it is necessary to replace the camera support rod and the light source support rod, which is inconvenient to use and involves a large amount of work. On the other hand, if a cover plate is installed under the probe, separate control circuits and corresponding cylinders are generally required, which increases the cost and control volume.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a probe detection image projection system, including a vertical plate 1. A large cover 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 1. Inside the large cover 2, from front to back, a probe mounting linear guide rail 3, a probe driving cylinder 4, and a magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 are sequentially fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 1. A probe arm 6 that can move up and down is installed on one side of the probe mounting linear guide rail 3 via a slider. A detection probe 7 is installed at the lower end of the probe arm 6. A floating block 8 connected to the telescopic rod of the probe driving cylinder 4 is installed behind the lower end of the probe arm 6. A meshable gear 9 and rack 10 are installed between the floating block 8 and the vertical plate 1. A cover plate is installed at the lower end of the large cover 2 via a hinge. 11. A double-bar connecting rod 12 is installed between the cover plate 11 and the gear 9. A lighting linear guide rail 13 is installed on one side of the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5. A vertically movable lighting arm 14 is installed on one side of the lighting linear guide rail 13 via a slider. A lighting crossbar 15 is hinged to the lower end of the lighting vertical arm 14. A slidable slide block 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the lighting crossbar 15. A lighting cover 17 is installed below the slide block 16 via screws. A hinge shaft 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the upright plate 1. A camera crossbar 19 is sleeved on the upper end of the hinge shaft 18. A camera connecting plate 20 is fixedly installed below the end of the camera crossbar 19. A camera cover 21 is installed below the camera connecting plate 20 via screws.
[0025] Specifically, the workpiece to be inspected is fixed directly below the inspection probe 7. Before the inspection begins, the inspection probe 7 is lifted by the probe drive cylinder 4 and kept hidden inside the large cover 2. The illumination cover 17 is also lifted by the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 and kept at a high position. The magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 and the probe drive cylinder 4 use a pressure-holding connector to prevent the telescopic rod and slider from falling down by gravity when the air supply is cut off.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 The camera crossbar 19 has a through hole at its end that is clearance-fitted with the hinge shaft 18. A clamping groove is provided in the middle of the through hole. Two screws that can change the spacing between the clamping grooves are provided on the outside of the clamping groove. When the screws are tightened, the camera crossbar 19 can clamp the hinge shaft 18.
[0027] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the camera, simply loosen the screw at the end of the camera crossbar 19 that is used to clamp the hinge shaft 18, and then move the camera crossbar 19 to rotate the camera. After adjusting the angle, tighten the screw again.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 The camera connecting plate 20 has arc-shaped slots around its perimeter, and the camera cover 21 has screw holes on its top. The camera connecting plate 20 and the camera cover 21 are fixedly connected by screws and their angles can be changed. A vertically downward-facing camera is installed inside the camera cover 21.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle of the camera, simply loosen the screws that fix the camera cover 21 to the camera connecting plate 20. Since the screw gap hole of the camera connecting plate 20 is an arc-shaped slot, the camera cover 21 can be rotated after the screws are loosened to adjust the shooting angle of the camera. The camera is installed inside the camera cover 21. When replacing the camera, the entire camera cover 21 is replaced directly.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The slide block 16 is clearance-fitted with the lighting crossbar 15. Multiple threaded holes are provided on the upper part of the lighting crossbar 15. The upper part of the slide block 16 is fixedly connected to the lighting crossbar 15 by screws. Arc-shaped slots are provided around the periphery of the slide block 16. Screw holes are provided on the top of the lighting cover 17. The lighting cover 17 is fixedly connected to the slide block 16 by screws and the angle can be changed. A vertically downward lighting lamp is installed inside the lighting cover 17. One side of the lighting vertical arm 14 is fixedly connected to the slider of the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 by screws. When the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 is working, it can drive the lighting vertical arm 14 to move up and down.
[0031] Specifically, by unscrewing the screws above the slide block 16 and the lighting crossbar 15, the slide block 16 can be slid to change its position on the lighting crossbar 15, thereby changing the distance between the lighting lamp and the detection probe 7. Moving the lighting crossbar 15 can change the lighting angle. Loosening the screws connecting the lighting cover 17 and the slide block 16 can also rotate the lighting lamp, so that the lighting lamp can be adjusted in both angle and position, so that it can better provide illumination for the camera and the workpiece.
[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 6 The rack 10 is fixedly connected to the floating block 8 and moves up and down synchronously. The two ends of the gear 9 are provided with central shafts and connected to the vertical plate 1 through bearing seats. One end of the central shaft of the gear 9 is fixedly connected to the double rod 12. When the rack 10 moves up and down, it drives the gear 9 to rotate. When the gear 9 rotates, it drives the cover plate 11 to open and close through the double rod 12.
[0033] Specifically, the rack 10 is very short and only engages with the gear 9 when the probe drive cylinder 4 begins to extend downwards and retract to its upper end. Furthermore, the rack 10 can only drive the gear 9 to rotate 90 degrees. That is, the rack 10 immediately rotates the gear 9 as soon as the probe drive cylinder 4 begins to extend downwards. Once the gear 9 rotates 90 degrees, the cover plate 11 can be fully opened. Consequently, the cover plate 11 opens immediately when the probe drive cylinder 4 begins to drive the detection probe 7. When the cover plate 11 is fully open, the rack 10 has already been engaged due to its short length. The limitation is not on the rotation of gear 9. Ultimately, rack 10 moves downward with the telescopic rod. Similarly, when the telescopic rod of probe drive cylinder 4 retracts upward, rack 10 starts to rise from the bottom. At this time, rack 10 does not mesh with gear 9. Gear 9 and rack 10 only begin to mesh when the telescopic rod is about to fully lift the detection probe 7 into the large cover 2. That is, the cover 11 only begins to close when the detection probe 7 has entered the large cover 2. Therefore, the cover 11 can automatically open and close when the detection probe 7 is driven up and down by probe drive cylinder 4.
[0034] In use, first configure the camera and lighting. Specifically, each camera and accessory is installed inside the camera cover 21. When changing a camera, replace the camera cover 21 together. After installing the appropriate camera, open the camera to check the shooting effect. If the shooting effect is not ideal, adjust the focus and shooting angle. At the same time, move the camera lever 19 to change the shooting position so that the camera can take pictures of the workpiece directly below the detection probe 7. Further, change the height of the lighting lamp through the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5, change the distance between the lighting lamp and the workpiece through the sliding slide 16, and change the angle of the light by moving the lighting lever 15. At the same time, observe the shooting effect of the camera and adjust the lighting lamp to provide supplementary lighting for the camera and illuminate the workpiece. Then, the probe drive cylinder 4 drives the detection probe 7 to descend. When the detection probe 7 descends, the cover plate 11 immediately opens. Finally, the detection probe 7 contacts the workpiece, and the contact point is captured by the camera. After the detection is completed, the probe drive cylinder 4 and the magnetic couple rodless cylinder 5 are reset.
[0035] In summary, this probe detection image projection system, through the cooperation of the lighting crossbar 15 and the slide 16, allows the lighting cover 17 to not only rotate itself but also rotate 180° around the lighting vertical arm 14, with the radius of rotation adjustable. Through the cooperation of the camera crossbar 19 and the camera connecting plate 20, the camera cover 21 can not only rotate itself but also rotate 360° around the hinge axis 18. Moreover, the entire camera can be replaced simply by unscrewing the screws that fix the camera cover 21. Then, the camera angle and the angle and height of the light can be adjusted according to the camera requirements, thus enabling shooting regardless of which manufacturer's camera is installed. Through the cooperation of gear 9, rack 10, and double rod 12, this probe detection image projection system achieves the effect of low cost by eliminating the need for a separate cylinder and control circuit for the opening and closing of the cover 11. Through the cooperation of gear 9, rack 10, and double rod 12, the opening and closing of the cover 11 can be synchronously driven by the lifting and lowering of the probe, thus eliminating the need for a separate cylinder and control circuit for the opening and closing of the cover 11, thereby reducing costs.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
