Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive sheet metal parts inspection tools, specifically a high-precision automotive sheet metal parts inspection tool. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets, including shearing, punching / cutting / combined cutting, bending, welding, riveting, splicing, and forming. Its most significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Products processed through sheet metal work are called sheet metal parts. Automotive sheet metal parts generally require inspection during production to ensure they meet standards and can be shipped smoothly.

[0003] In existing technologies, 3D scanners are generally used to scan automotive sheet metal parts, analyze and process the shape, size, and precision of the sheet metal parts, and complete the 3D data of the workpiece to be inspected through non-contact dynamic measurement, and provide an inspection report.

[0004] However, this detection method is limited by the scanning angle and cannot complete a full scan of the sheet metal part in one go. For example, the bottom of the sheet metal part will be blocked and cannot be scanned directly. Therefore, in actual detection, it is necessary to flip the workpiece. However, manual flipping is not very practical, and the cost of flipping with a robotic arm is too high. In view of this, in-depth research was conducted to address the above problems, which led to this case. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-precision automotive sheet metal parts inspection tool to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of the inability to complete a comprehensive scan of sheet metal parts in a low-cost and efficient manner.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-precision automotive sheet metal parts inspection tool, comprising a base, a detection component disposed on one side of the top of the base, two uprights disposed on one side of the top of the base, and a movable seat disposed between one side of the two uprights, a drive component disposed at the bottom of the movable seat and the uprights, a first placement plate disposed between one side of the uprights, and a high-torque motor mounted on one side of one of the uprights, the output end of the high-torque motor being fixed to one side of the first placement plate, and the other side of the first placement plate being connected to one side of the uprights via a rotating shaft, an electric push rod disposed at the bottom of the movable seat, and the output end of the electric push rod extending above the movable seat and disposed on a second placement plate, and multiple electromagnets disposed at the adjacent ends of the second placement plate and the first placement plate.

[0007] Preferably, the detection component includes a top plate, which is disposed on one side of the top of the base, and support plates are fixed at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the top plate. The bottom ends of the support plates are fixed to the top of the base. A scanner is installed at the center of the bottom of the top plate, and a control box is installed on one side of the top of the top plate.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a first electric guide rail, two first electric guide rails are installed on the top of the base, and two second electric guide rails are installed between one side of the two first electric guide rails. A first electric guide block is installed on the top of the first electric guide rail, and the top of the first electric guide block is fixed to the bottom of the stand. A second electric guide block is installed on the top of the second electric guide rail, and the top of the second electric guide block is fixed to the bottom of the movable seat.

[0009] Preferably, the maximum stroke of the electric push rod is greater than half the width of the first placement plate, and the maximum distance between the top of the first placement plate and the top of the second placement plate is greater than the maximum stroke of the electric push rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of each of the two sets of electromagnets is on the same horizontal plane as one end of the second placement plate or the first placement plate, and the electromagnets are distributed in a rectangular array at one end of the second placement plate and the first placement plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] By loading the sheet metal part onto a second placement plate, a scan can be completed by moving it under the scanner. Subsequently, the first and second placement plates can be aligned so that the electromagnet on the first placement plate can attract the sheet metal part, and the electromagnet on the second placement plate can be released. Then, the first placement plate can be used to rotate the sheet metal part. This inspection operation can be repeated to quickly complete a comprehensive inspection of the sheet metal part.

Electromagnet Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4 A high-precision automotive sheet metal parts inspection tool includes a base 6, a detection component is provided on one side of the top of the base 6, two uprights 5 are provided on one side of the top of the base 6, and a movable seat 9 is provided between one side of the two uprights 5. A drive component is provided at the bottom of the movable seat 9 and the uprights 5. A first placement plate 15 is provided between one side of the uprights 5, and a high-torque motor 4 is installed on one side of one of the uprights 5. The output end of the high-torque motor 4 is fixed to one side of the first placement plate 15, and the other side of the first placement plate 15 is connected to one side of the upright 5 through a rotating shaft. An electric push rod 10 is installed at the bottom of the movable seat 9, and the output end of the electric push rod 10 extends to the top of the movable seat 9 and is installed on a second placement plate 13. Multiple electromagnets 16 are installed at the close ends of the second placement plate 13 and the first placement plate 15.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, electromagnets 16 are provided at both the second placement plate 13 and the first placement plate 15 for adsorbing sheet metal parts. The sheet metal parts adsorbed on the first placement plate 15 can be flipped along with the first placement plate 15. By controlling the lifting and lowering of the second placement plate 13 with the help of the electric push rod 10, and controlling the opening and closing of the two sets of electromagnets 16, the transfer of sheet metal parts between the second placement plate 13 and the first placement plate 15 can be completed.

[0021] The detection assembly includes a top plate 1, which is located on one side of the top of the base 6. Support plates 14 are fixed at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the top plate 1. The bottom ends of the support plates 14 are fixed to the top of the base 6. A scanner 2 is installed at the center of the bottom of the top plate 1, and a control box 3 is installed on one side of the top of the top of the top plate 1.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, scanner 2 is a product of the prior art, capable of scanning sheet metal parts passing beneath it and providing corresponding data for computer analysis.

[0023] The drive assembly includes a first electric guide rail 7, two first electric guide rails 7 are mounted on the top of the base 6, and two second electric guide rails 8 are mounted between one side of the two first electric guide rails 7. A first electric guide block 12 is mounted on the top of the first electric guide rail 7, and the top of the first electric guide block 12 is fixed to the bottom of the upright 5. A second electric guide block 11 is mounted on the top of the second electric guide rail 8, and the top of the second electric guide block 11 is fixed to the bottom of the movable seat 9.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first electric guide rail 7 and the first electric guide block 12, as well as the second electric guide rail 8 and the second electric guide block 11, belong to the guide rail equipment in the prior art. The first electric guide rail 7 can drive the first electric guide block 12 to move in a directional manner, thereby driving the upright 5 to move and completing the position control of the first placement plate 15. The second electric guide rail 8 completes the position control of the second placement plate 13 in the same way.

[0025] The maximum stroke of the electric push rod 10 is greater than half the width of the first placement plate 15, and the maximum distance between the top of the first placement plate 15 and the top of the second placement plate 13 is greater than the maximum stroke of the electric push rod 10.

[0026] Specifically. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this design ensures that the first placement plate 15 can rotate smoothly without being obstructed.

[0027] One end of each of the two sets of electromagnets 16 is on the same horizontal plane as one end of the second placement plate 13 or the first placement plate 15, and the electromagnets 16 are distributed in a rectangular array at one end of the second placement plate 13 and the first placement plate 15.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, this design allows the electromagnet 16 at the corresponding position to be activated to attract the sheet metal parts as needed.

[0029] Working Principle: When using this device, the sheet metal part is first placed above the second placement plate 13, and the electromagnets 16 in appropriate positions are activated to electromagnetically attract the sheet metal part. Each electromagnet 16 is independently powered and controlled, and its control principle is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. After the second placement plate 13 has attracted the sheet metal part, the second electric guide rail 8 is activated, which drives the second electric guide block 11 to move the movable seat 9, allowing the sheet metal part to pass under the scanner 2 at a uniform speed. The scanner 2 is also a mature device in existing technology. After one scan is completed, the movable seat 9 returns to its initial position. At this time, the first placement plate 15 and the second placement plate 13 are aligned, and then the electric... Push rod 10 pushes the second placement plate 13 up a suitable distance. It should be noted that the control of electric push rod 10 is also a very basic existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here. Until the top of the sheet metal part is close to the first placement plate 15, the electromagnet 16 on the first placement plate 15 is activated to attract the sheet metal part. After the attraction is completed, the power to the electromagnet 16 at the second placement plate 13 is disconnected. Then, the electric push rod 10 pulls the second placement plate 13 down to the maximum displacement, and then drives the high torque motor 4 to drive the first placement plate 15 to rotate half a revolution. At this time, the sheet metal part is flipped. Subsequently, the first electric guide rail 7 drives the first electric guide block 12 so that the sheet metal part can repeat the above scanning operation.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
