[0025] See Figures 1-5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the automatic warhead casing detection device in the embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the feeding device structure in the embodiment. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the feeding mechanism and conveying mechanism in this embodiment. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the detection device structure in the embodiment. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the conveying mechanism and unloading device in the embodiment. An automatic cartridge case inspection device in this example includes a machine base 1, a feeding device 2, an unloading device 3, and an inspection device 4. The feeding device 2 is located at one end of the machine base 1, along the width of the machine base 1. The unloading device 3 is located at the other end of the machine base 1, parallel to the feeding device 2. The inspection device 4 is located on one side of the machine base 1, along the length of the machine base 1, with its two ends located at the feeding device 2 and the unloading device 3, respectively. The inspection device 4 includes a conveying mechanism 41 and an inspection mechanism 42. The inspection mechanism 42 is located directly above the conveying mechanism 41 and directly opposite the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 41. During operation, the feeding device 2 feeds the cartridge cases to the conveying mechanism 41, which then conveys the cartridge cases towards the unloading device 3. During this process, the inspection device 42 inspects the appearance, dimensions, and other parameters of the passing cartridge cases until they are conveyed to the unloading device 3 for collection. This achieves efficient cartridge case inspection, improves production efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0026] Specifically, the inspection mechanism 42 includes multiple sets of first inspection units 421 and multiple sets of second inspection units 422. The multiple sets of first inspection units 421 are arranged sequentially above the conveying mechanism 41 along the conveying direction and are used to inspect the surface appearance and dimensions of the product. The multiple sets of second inspection units 422 are located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 41 and face the conveying mechanism 41, and are used to inspect the appearance and dimensions of both ends of the product. In this example, the conveying mechanism 41 adopts a cam stepper feeder.

[0027] The first detection unit 421 includes two sets of height adjustment components 4211 and two sets of first detection elements 4212. The two sets of height adjustment components 4211 are arranged adjacent to each other and along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 41. The two sets of first detection elements 4212 are respectively driven onto the two sets of height adjustment components 4211 and face the conveying mechanism 41. The detection element 4212 near the outer side of the machine base 1 is located directly above the conveying mechanism 41 and faces the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 41. The first detection element 4212 near the inner side of the machine base 1 is inclined towards the conveyor. The conveying path of the mechanism 41, i.e., the two sets of first detection elements 4212, have an included angle, so that the cartridge case shell and the end can be detected respectively, improving the accuracy of the detection. The second detection unit 422 includes multiple sets of horizontal adjustment components 4221 and second detection elements 4222. The second detection elements 4222 are driven by the horizontal adjustment components 4221 and face the conveying mechanism 41. Both the first detection elements 4212 and the second detection elements 4222 are industrial cameras. In specific implementation, a ring light source can be set at the detection end of the second detection element 4222. In this example, the height adjustment component 4211 is composed of a knob, a lead screw and a slide rail slider assembly, and the horizontal adjustment component 4221 is composed of a slide rail slider assembly. It can be understood that in use, the height of the first detection element 4212 can be adjusted by adjusting the height adjustment component 4211, thereby adjusting the image clarity. Similarly, the distance between the second detection element 4222 and the conveying mechanism 41 can be adjusted by adjusting the horizontal adjustment component 4221 to adjust the clarity of the second detection element 4222.

[0028] Preferably, the first detection unit 421 further includes multiple sets of first lighting components 4213. The first lighting components 4213 are disposed between the conveying mechanism 41 and the first detection element 4212, and are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 41. Each component includes a frame 42131 and multiple first light strips 42132. The multiple first light strips 42132 are arranged sequentially end to end around the side of the frame 42131 facing the conveying mechanism 41. The first detection element 4212 is located directly above the center of the frame 42131. During detection, the first lighting components 4213 increase the ambient brightness, thereby improving the detection accuracy and enabling more accurate detection of problems such as rust, blackening, and pitting on the product surface.

[0029] Preferably, the first detection unit 421 further includes multiple sets of second lighting components 4214. These components are positioned between the conveying mechanism 41 and the first detection element 4212, and arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 41. Each set includes a bowl-shaped lampshade 42141 and multiple second light strips (not shown). The bowl-shaped lampshade 42141 faces the conveying mechanism 41, and has a through hole at its center. The first detection element 4212 is directly opposite the through hole. The multiple second light strips (not shown) are arranged along the curvature of the bowl-shaped lampshade 42141 on its inner wall. Similarly, the second lighting components 4214 increase ambient brightness, thereby improving detection accuracy and enabling more accurate detection of rust, blackening, pitting, and other defects on the tip of the cartridge case. The difference lies in the use of the bowl-shaped lampshade 42141, which adapts to the curvature of the cartridge case end, reducing reflections from the curved surface of the image and improving product image quality, thus enhancing detection rate and stability.

[0030] Furthermore, the feeding device 2 includes a feeding mechanism 21 and a feeding mechanism 22. The feeding mechanism 21 is located beside the machine base 1, and the feeding mechanism 22 is located on the machine base 1. The discharge end of the feeding mechanism 21 is located at the feeding mechanism 22, and one end of the conveying mechanism 41 is located at the feeding mechanism 22. The feeding mechanism 21 is used to convey the product to the feeding mechanism 22, and the feeding mechanism 22 is used to clamp the product to the conveying mechanism 41. In this example, the feeding mechanism 21 adopts a stepped pusher elevator.

[0031] The feeding mechanism 22 includes a first clamping mechanism 221, a first conveyor belt mechanism 222, and a second clamping mechanism 223. The first conveyor belt mechanism 222 is initially located near the conveying mechanism 41 and perpendicular to the conveying mechanism 41. The first clamping mechanism 221 is located above the first conveyor belt mechanism 222 and the feeding mechanism 21, and has a first gripper portion 2211. The first gripper portion 2211 moves above the first conveyor belt mechanism 222 and the feeding mechanism 21. The second clamping mechanism 223 is located at the initial end of the conveying mechanism 41, and has a second gripper portion 2231. The second gripper portion 2231 is located above the conveying mechanism 41 and the first conveyor belt mechanism 222, and moves above the first conveyor belt mechanism 222 and the feeding mechanism 21. In this example, the first conveyor belt mechanism 222 is a multi-belt synchronous conveyor, and the first gripper part 2211 has multiple pneumatic grippers 22111, the number of which corresponds to the number of conveyor belts of the first conveyor belt mechanism 222. The structure and principle of the second gripper part 2231 are the same as those of the first gripper part 2211.

[0032] Specifically, the first gripping mechanism 221 further includes a gripper displacement mechanism 2212. The gripper displacement mechanism 2212 includes a horizontally arranged first drive module 22121 and a vertically arranged second drive module 22122. The second drive module 22122 is driven by the first drive module 22121, and the first gripper portion 2211 is driven by the second drive module 22122. In this example, the first drive module 22121 is a lead screw drive module, and the second drive module 22122 is a cylinder drive assembly. The second gripping mechanism 223 has the same structure and principle as the first gripping mechanism 221, and will not be described further here.

[0033] Furthermore, the feeding device 3 includes a second conveyor belt mechanism 31, a pushing mechanism 32, and a collection box 33. The second conveyor belt mechanism 31 is arranged parallel to the first conveyor belt mechanism. The pushing mechanism 32 is located on the side of the conveying mechanism 41 facing away from the second conveyor belt mechanism 31. It includes a horizontal drive assembly 321 and a pushing assembly 322. The pushing assembly 322 includes a push plate 3221 and multiple push rods 3222. The push plate 3221 is tractively connected to the horizontal drive assembly 321. One side of the push plate 3221 faces the conveying mechanism 41. The multiple push rods 3222 are arranged on one side of the push plate 3221 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 41 and are directly opposite one end of the second conveyor belt mechanism 41. The collection box 33 is located at the end of the second conveyor belt mechanism 31 away from the conveying mechanism 41. One side of the collection box has an inlet 331, which is directly opposite one end of the second conveying mechanism 31. In this example, the horizontal drive assembly 321 adopts a screw drive module. During operation, when the conveying mechanism 41 transports the cartridge case to the unloading device 3, the push plate 3221 moves toward the conveying mechanism 41 under the drive of the horizontal drive component 321, so that the push rod 3222 pushes the cartridge case on the conveying mechanism 41 into the second conveyor belt mechanism 31. After the cartridge case moves to the end of the second conveyor belt mechanism 31, it falls into the collection box 33 through the inlet 331.

[0034] Preferably, the feeding device 3 further includes a waste collection section 34, which includes two blowing heads 341 and two waste collection boxes 342. The two waste collection boxes 342 are located on both sides of the second conveyor belt mechanism 31. Each waste collection box 342 has a collection port 3421, which faces the conveying path of the second conveyor belt mechanism 31. The two blowing heads 341 are mounted above the conveying path of the second conveyor belt mechanism 31 and are inclined towards the conveying path of the conveyor belt mechanism 31. In a specific implementation, the discharge head 341 can be connected to an air tank and a solenoid valve. In use, when a defective cartridge case passes through the second conveyor belt mechanism 31, the blowing head 341 blows air towards the waste collection box 342, causing it to roll into the collection port 3421 and be collected by the waste collection box 342.

[0035] In summary, this example demonstrates how the automatic feeding, conveying, detection, and unloading of cartridge cases are automated through the coordinated operation of the feeding, conveying, detection, and collection mechanisms. This effectively improves production efficiency while reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
