Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts inspection technology, and in particular to an automotive parts inspection device based on machine vision. Background Technology
[0002] Visual inspection of automotive parts refers to the process of using machine vision technology to perform high-precision inspection of automotive parts. By simulating the human visual system, machine vision can "see" the appearance of parts and "determine" whether defects exist. Its core principle is to acquire multi-angle, high-resolution images of parts using a camera, and then transmit the acquired image signals to a computer for processing and analysis. During processing, the system uses pre-programmed algorithms and models to analyze each pixel in the image, extracting key features such as shape, color, and texture, and comparing them with pre-stored standard features to determine whether defects exist. Visual inspection technology uses machine vision products (such as CMOS and CCD cameras) to convert the target to be inspected into image signals, which are then processed and analyzed by an image processing system.
[0003] An existing machine vision-based automotive parts inspection device has a complex overall structure. When the device is performing visual inspection of products, it is not easy to ensure the stability of the device during transmission on the conveyor line, thus affecting the efficiency of the device in performing visual inspection of products. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automotive parts inspection device based on machine vision.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a machine vision-based automotive parts inspection device, including a mounting bracket, a reinforcing crossbar fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket, a limiting screw connected internally to the mounting bracket, a limiting support plate fixedly connected to the top of the limiting screw, and a supporting upright fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting bracket;
[0006] An auxiliary crossbar is fixedly connected to the front of the support pole. A vision inspection component is fixedly connected inside the auxiliary crossbar. An installation frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting bracket. A cylinder is inserted into the installation frame. A lifting slide is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. Auxiliary support rods are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lifting slide. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary support rod. An auxiliary lighting lamp is fixedly connected to the surface of the auxiliary support rod.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of reinforcing crossbars is set to two, and the two reinforcing crossbars are symmetrically distributed vertically around the mounting bracket, with the limiting support plate located inside the mounting bracket.
[0008] Through the above technical solution, the two reinforcing crossbars are symmetrically distributed vertically around the mounting bracket, and the supporting uprights and auxiliary crossbars are symmetrically arranged horizontally to form a grid-shaped stable structure. The overall rigidity is improved, which effectively suppresses image jitter caused by external vibration during the detection process and ensures the stability of the images acquired by the vision inspection components. The modular assembly design allows the equipment to be quickly disassembled or reassembled to adapt to the layout requirements of different production lines.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting screw and the limiting support plate are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the mounting bracket as the center, and the limiting screw extends through the mounting bracket into the interior of the mounting bracket.
[0010] With the above technical solution, the limiting screw and the limiting support plate are symmetrically distributed left and right. Vertical fine adjustment is achieved through threaded engagement, which can quickly match the testing needs of automotive parts of different heights without replacing the base. The limiting support plate has built-in anti-slip texture to prevent the part under test from sliding.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the number of the supporting uprights and auxiliary crossbars is set to two, and the two supporting uprights and auxiliary crossbars are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the mounting bracket as the center.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the front of the cylinder contacts the rear end surface of the support column, the cylinder is located at the rear end of the mounting bracket, and the lifting slide plate is slidably connected to the surface of the support column.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of auxiliary support rods and limiting plates is set to two, and the two auxiliary support rods and limiting plates are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the mounting bracket as the center.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the auxiliary lighting lamp is located at the top of the mounting bracket, and the limiting plate is located at the top of the mounting bracket.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention uses a limiting plate fixed to the lifting slide plate by an auxiliary support rod to form a closed positioning area with the top of the mounting bracket. After the workpiece is placed, it can automatically align with the center line through the limiting plate. The plate is made of elastic material and the contact surface pressure is adjustable to avoid scratching the surface of precision parts. By setting the overall equipment to have a modular structure, automatic adjustment, precise positioning and integrated lighting, it solves the problems of poor stability, low efficiency and weak adaptability of traditional detection devices. It is especially suitable for the detection of multi-variety and high-precision automotive parts in flexible production lines, and has significant advantages such as high efficiency, reliability and easy maintenance.
[0017] This invention incorporates a visual inspection component nested inside an auxiliary crossbar, which forms a triangular support with the supporting upright. A cable channel is pre-reserved inside the crossbar to prevent exposed wiring from becoming tangled, extending the maintenance cycle to more than six months. Key components use standardized interfaces, reducing replacement costs and increasing equipment lifespan. Attached Figure Description
