Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ceramic testing technology, and more specifically, to a rotary ceramic testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic products are very common and widely used in all aspects of production and daily life. The quality of ceramic products requires rigorous inspection. For example, ceramic slabs need to be inspected for defects such as blemishes, cracks, and stains on their appearance; for defects such as air pockets and impurities inside; for defects such as missing parts around the edges; and for the flatness of their upper and lower surfaces to meet requirements.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to address the issue that detection efficiency and automation levels still need improvement, the prior art patent with publication number CN112161988B provides an automatic ceramic plate detection device, which has a working platform. The working platform is provided with a pre-loading station, a transfer station, and a detection station. The pre-loading station is provided with a pre-loading platform, the transfer station is provided with a transfer mechanism, and the working platform is also provided with a conveying mechanism. The detection station is provided with a first camera and a second camera in sequence along the moving direction of the transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a transfer platform, a support plate, a light-transmitting plate, and a limiting block. The support plate is provided with mounting grooves corresponding to each light-transmitting plate, and the light-transmitting plates are fixed in the mounting grooves.

[0004] Although the existing technical solutions mentioned above are efficient and practical in inspecting ceramic plates for defects and flatness by using a combination of a first camera and a second camera, the existing ceramic inspection equipment cannot rotate and switch in time to inspect the lower layer of the ceramic plate, resulting in a long and inefficient process for comprehensive inspection of the ceramic plate.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a rotary ceramic testing device. Utility Model Content

[0006] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a rotary ceramic testing device that solves the technical problem that existing ceramic testing devices cannot rotate and switch in time to test the lower layer of the ceramic plate when testing the upper layer of the ceramic plate, resulting in a long and inefficient process for comprehensive testing of the ceramic plate. The device also achieves the technical effect of wastewater recycling and dust reduction.

[0008] 2. Technical Solution

[0009] This application provides a rotary ceramic inspection device, including a conveyor frame, a first visual inspection box, and a second visual inspection box. The first and second visual inspection boxes are arranged on the same horizontal line, and the conveyor frame passes vertically through the interiors of both boxes. A flipping assembly is provided on one side of the conveyor frame where the second and first visual inspection boxes are close to each other. The flipping assembly includes a vertical rail fixed to one side of the conveyor frame, a moving block slidably disposed inside the vertical rail, a rotary cylinder disposed on the side of the moving block, and a slide rail disposed on the side of the rotary cylinder away from the moving block. An upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate are symmetrically slidably disposed inside the slide rail. Ceramic parts are conveyed by the conveyor frame. When passing through the second visual inspection box, the top side is inspected. After inspecting one side, the ceramic parts are flipped by the flipping assembly and then enter the first visual inspection box for inspection of the back side, achieving double-sided inspection. This allows for rapid completion of a comprehensive inspection, facilitating the direct rejection of defective products.

[0010] Furthermore, a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably installed inside the slide rail. Symmetrical threads on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw penetrate the interior of the upper and lower clamping plates, respectively. A drive motor is installed at the top of the slide rail, and a hydraulic component is installed at the top of the vertical track, with the output end of the hydraulic component connected to the top of the moving block. The upper and lower clamping plates, driven by the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw, move linearly to clamp the ceramic component relative to each other. The drive motor rotates the bidirectional lead screw, and the rotary cylinder rotates the entire slide rail, upper clamping plate, and lower clamping plate, achieving a 360-degree flip.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor frame has a notch or slot located below the flipping assembly to accommodate the lower clamping plate, so that the height of the lower clamping plate is lower than the height of the conveying roller inside the conveyor frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotation direction of the rotary cylinder drives the upper and lower clamping plates to rotate counterclockwise. A limit rod is provided on one side of the upper clamping plate, and an insertion block is provided on one side of the lower clamping plate. The limit rod can be inserted through the insertion block. By rotating counterclockwise, even if a ceramic plate is not securely clamped, it will be intercepted by the rotary cylinder and the limit rod, preventing the ceramic plate from falling and reducing the cost of rotation and flipping.

[0013] 3. Beneficial effects

[0014] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0015] (1) This application is equipped with a first vision inspection box, a second vision inspection box and a flipping component. The ceramic parts are transported by a conveyor frame. When passing through the second vision inspection box, the top of the ceramic parts can be inspected. After inspecting one side, the ceramic parts are flipped by the flipping component and then enter the first vision inspection box to inspect the back side. After double-sided inspection, the full inspection is completed quickly, which makes it convenient to directly reject defective products.

[0016] (2) This application is equipped with an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate. Under the rotation drive of the bidirectional screw, the linear motion can clamp the ceramic parts. The drive motor can drive the bidirectional screw to rotate, and the rotary cylinder can drive the entire slide rail, upper clamping plate and lower clamping plate to flip, realizing the flipping of the surface. Rotating counterclockwise, even if there is no stable ceramic plate being clamped, it will be intercepted by the rotary cylinder and the limit rod to prevent the ceramic plate from falling and reduce the cost loss of rotation and flipping.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a rotary ceramic inspection device, comprising a conveyor frame 110, a first visual inspection box 120, and a second visual inspection box 130. The first and second visual inspection boxes 120 and 130 are arranged on the same horizontal line. The conveyor frame 110 passes vertically through the interiors of the second and first visual inspection boxes 120 and 130. A flipping assembly 200 is provided on one side of the conveyor frame 110 where the second and first visual inspection boxes 120 are close to each other. The flipping assembly 200 includes a vertical track 211 fixed to one side of the conveyor frame 110. A moving block 217 is slidably disposed inside the vertical track 211. A rotary cylinder 218 is disposed on the side of the moving block 217. A slide rail 213 is disposed on the side of the rotary cylinder 218 away from the moving block 217. An upper clamping plate 215 and a lower clamping plate 216 are symmetrically slidably disposed inside the slide rail 213. (Reference) Figure 1 The ceramic parts are conveyed by the conveyor frame 110. When they pass through the second vision inspection box 130, they can be inspected from above. The existing vision inspection equipment for ceramic plates is based on machine vision technology. It uses an industrial camera with a light source to collect images of the ceramic plates, extracts features through edge detection and other algorithms, compares them with standard templates, and uses software to analyze parameters to determine whether they are qualified or not. The linked mechanical device sorts out defective products. After inspecting one side, the ceramic parts are flipped by the flipping component 200 and then enter the first vision inspection box 120 to inspect the back side. After double-sided inspection, the entire inspection is completed quickly, which makes it easy to directly reject defective products later.

[0026] refer to Figure 3 The slide rail 213 is internally equipped with a bidirectional lead screw 214, with symmetrical threads on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 214 penetrating the interior of the upper clamping plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 216 respectively. A drive motor 212 is installed at the top of the slide rail 213, and a hydraulic component 210 is installed at the top of the vertical rail 211, with the output end of the hydraulic component 210 connected to the top of the moving block 217. The upper clamping plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 216 can clamp the ceramic parts relative to each other by linear motion driven by the bidirectional lead screw 214. The drive motor 212 can drive the bidirectional lead screw 214 to rotate, and the rotary cylinder 218 can drive the entire slide rail 213, the upper clamping plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 216 to flip, achieving a 360-degree flip. To avoid interference during the flip, the hydraulic component 210 can drive the moving block 217 to rise first, flip and then lower, so that the lower clamping plate 216 returns to the notch of the conveyor frame 110.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 The rotation of the rotary cylinder 218 causes the upper clamping plate 215 and the lower clamping plate 216 to rotate counterclockwise. A limit rod 220 is provided on one side of the upper clamping plate 215, and an insertion block 219 is provided on one side of the lower clamping plate 216. The limit rod 220 can be inserted through the insertion block 219. (Reference: [Instructions for reference]) Figure 5 Even if there is no stable ceramic plate being held, it will be intercepted by the rotating cylinder 218 and the limit rod 220 to prevent the ceramic plate from falling and reduce the cost of rotation and flipping.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 The conveyor frame 110 has a notch or groove located below the flipping assembly 200 to accommodate the lower clamping plate 216, so that the height of the lower clamping plate 216 is lower than the height of the conveying roller inside the conveyor frame 110.
