Detailed Implementation Methods
[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses a visual inspection device for a bowl basket, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a positioning component 2 for clamping and positioning the main body 100 of the bowl basket. The frame 1 is provided above the positioning component 2 for inspecting the upper part of the main body 100 of the bowl basket. The frame 1 is provided to the side of the positioning component 2 for inspecting the side of the main body 100 of the bowl basket. The frame 1 is provided with an illumination component 5 for illuminating the main body 100 of the bowl basket. The illumination component 5 is located below and behind the second detection component 4. The frame 1 is also provided with a cover 11 for covering the positioning component 2, the first detection component 3, the second detection component 4 and the illumination component 5. This invention, by setting up a first detection component and a second detection component, can perform inspections from the top and side of the main body of the bowl basket, respectively. This allows for a comprehensive inspection of whether the upper and side parts of the bowl basket are damaged or missing parts. The multi-angle inspection method avoids blind spots and ensures that no potentially problematic area is missed, greatly improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the inspection and effectively guaranteeing the quality of the bowl basket. In addition, the lighting component is located below and behind the second detection component. This layout provides good supplementary lighting for the main body of the bowl basket, helping the detection component to more accurately identify whether there are defects such as damage or missing parts in the main body of the bowl basket, improving the inspection accuracy and reducing the risk of misjudgment and missed detection.
[0034] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the two second detection components 4 and the lighting component 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning component 2, and the first detection component 3 is located between the two second detection components 4. By symmetrically distributing the second detection components on both sides of the positioning component, the details of the main body of the basket can be captured from different sides in all directions. For problems such as damage or missing parts that may occur on the side of the main body of the basket, a more comprehensive and thorough inspection can be carried out. Furthermore, the first detection component is located between the two second detection components, which can form a relatively compact and complete inspection layout. This allows for simultaneous inspection of the main body of the basket from above and both sides, effectively avoiding blind spots and improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the inspection.
[0035] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the frame 1 is provided with a detection drive component 6 for driving the first detection component 3 and the second detection component 4 to slide along the corresponding direction of the frame 1. The position of the detection components can be flexibly adjusted, and the device can quickly adapt to the size changes of the bowl basket body of different specifications or shapes, and align with the part to be detected, effectively improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0036] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the detection drive assembly 6 includes a Y-axis sliding block 62 mounted on the frame 1 and slidable along the Y-axis direction of the frame 1. A Y-axis drive member 61 for driving the Y-axis sliding block 62 to slide is provided between the Y-axis sliding block 62 and the frame 1. An X-axis sliding block 64 mounted on the Y-axis sliding block 62 and slidable along the X-axis direction of the frame 1 is provided. An X-axis drive member 63 for driving the X-axis sliding block 64 to slide is provided between the X-axis sliding block 64 and the Y-axis sliding block 62. A Z-axis sliding block 66 mounted on the X-axis sliding block 64 and slidable along the Z-axis direction of the frame 1 is provided between the Z-axis sliding block 66 and the X-axis sliding block 64. A Z-axis drive member 65 for driving the Z-axis sliding block 66 to slide is provided between the Z-axis sliding block 66 and the X-axis sliding block 64. The first detection assembly 3 is mounted on the Z-axis sliding block 66. The detection drive assembly enables the first detection component to move flexibly in three-dimensional space via sliding blocks on the Y, X, and Z axes and corresponding drive components. This three-dimensional adjustability allows the first detection component to be precisely positioned at any detection location on the upper part of the basket body, greatly enhancing the flexibility of detection, whether in height, left and right position, or front and back position.
[0037] In this invention, the driving component can be a rodless cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a motor lead screw drive, etc.
[0038] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the second detection component 4 is mounted on the Y-axis sliding block 62, allowing it to slide along the Y-axis direction. This increases the adjustability of the second detection component in the Y-axis direction, enabling it to more flexibly handle bowl basket bodies of different sizes and shapes.
[0039] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the second detection component 4 includes a second mounting vertical plate 41 whose lower end is connected to a Y-axis sliding block 62. A second connecting plate 42 is mounted on the second mounting vertical plate 41, and a second mounting plate 43 is mounted on the second connecting plate 42. A second detection camera 44 is mounted on the second mounting plate 43. An angle adjustment structure 45 for adjusting the detection angle of the second detection camera 44 is provided between the second mounting plate 43 and the second connecting plate 42, allowing for flexible adjustment of the detection angle of the second detection camera, reducing blind spots, and improving detection efficiency. During the detection process, the camera angle can be quickly adjusted according to the actual shape of the basket body and the detection requirements, optimizing the detection path and achieving efficient detection.
[0040] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the second mounting plate 43 is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 42. The angle adjustment structure 45 includes an adjustment arc groove 451 eccentrically disposed on the second mounting plate 43, and an adjustment locking rod 452 for connecting with the adjustment locking hole of the second connecting plate 42 is disposed within the adjustment arc groove 451. By cooperating with the adjustment arc groove and the adjustment locking rod, the detection angle of the second detection camera can be flexibly adjusted. When facing a basket body of different shapes or placement angles, the optimal detection angle can be quickly found, ensuring that the camera can fully capture image information of the side of the basket body, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the second connecting plate 42 is adjustablely connected to the second mounting vertical plate 41, thereby adjusting the lifting of the second detection camera.
[0042] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the lighting assembly 5 includes a lighting mounting bracket 51 mounted on the frame 1 and a lighting lamp body 52 mounted on the lighting mounting bracket 51. An X-axis adjustment structure 53 is provided between the lighting mounting bracket 51 and the frame 1, allowing the lighting mounting bracket 51 to slide along the X-axis direction of the frame 1. A Z-axis adjustment structure 54 is provided between the lighting lamp body 52 and the lighting mounting bracket 51, allowing the lighting lamp body 52 to slide along the Z-axis direction of the frame 1. Through the X-axis and Z-axis adjustment structures, the illumination angle and range of the lighting lamp can be precisely controlled. When inspecting basket bodies of different heights or depths, the position of the lighting lamp can be adjusted to ensure that the light illuminates the inspection area at the optimal angle, reducing shadows and reflections and improving inspection accuracy.
[0043] like Figure 5As shown, the X-axis adjustment structure 53 includes, but is not limited to, an adjustment slot 531 provided on the lighting mounting bracket 51. An adjustment locking rod is inserted into the adjustment slot 531 for locking with the adjustment locking hole of the frame 1. During adjustment, releasing the adjustment locking rod from the lighting mounting bracket 51 allows the lighting mounting bracket 51 to slide along the X-axis direction of the frame (approaching or moving away from the positioning component). The structure of the Z-axis adjustment structure 54 is the same as that of the X-axis adjustment structure 53, and will not be described further here.
[0044] like Figure 1-4 As shown, to facilitate loading and unloading, the positioning component 2 includes a positioning slide plate 21 that can slide along the Y-axis of the frame 1. The positioning slide plate 21 is provided with a positioning clip for positioning the basket body 100. A positioning drive component 22 is provided between the positioning slide plate 21 and the frame 1 to drive the positioning slide plate 21 to slide accordingly. A positioning guide component 23 is provided between the positioning slide plate 21 and the frame 1 to guide the sliding path of the positioning slide plate 21. The side of the cover 11 is provided with a side opening 111 for the positioning slide plate 21 to pass through. When the positioning clip positions the basket body to be inspected, the positioning drive component 22 drives the positioning slide plate 21 to slide into the inside of the cover 11 from the side opening 111 until it slides to the position to be inspected.
[0045] The positioning guide component 23 includes, but is not limited to, the use of a slider and a guide rail for guidance.
[0046] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a telescopic shielding cover 211 is provided between the side of the positioning slide plate 21 and the frame 1 to cover the positioning drive component 22 and the positioning guide component 23. One end of the telescopic shielding cover 211 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the side of the positioning slide plate 21. The telescopic shielding cover covers the positioning drive component and the positioning guide component, effectively preventing external dust, debris, or liquids from entering these critical component areas, thus avoiding contamination or damage. In industrial environments, equipment is often affected by various environmental factors, such as dust, oil, and water stains. The installation of the telescopic shielding cover can greatly reduce the risk of damage to the positioning drive component and the positioning guide component from these factors, extend the service life of the components, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
