Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive industry automation equipment technology, specifically, it is a fault-prevention mechanism that determines the presence or absence of a built-in copper ring based on visual photography. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, determining the presence of an internal copper ring relies primarily on manual inspection. Due to the inherent uncertainties of manual inspection, this often results in the omission of the internal copper ring, leading to product scrap. Using visual imaging to determine the presence of an internal copper ring can effectively solve this problem, reducing the defect rate within the process and improving product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of missing built-in copper rings in existing products, and to provide a mistake-proofing mechanism that determines the presence or absence of built-in copper rings based on visual photography.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A fault-prevention mechanism for determining the presence or absence of a built-in copper ring based on visual photography is characterized in that it includes a frame, a built-in copper ring placement device, a built-in copper ring placement visual photography mechanism, a built-in copper ring drop collection device, and a built-in copper ring drop visual photography mechanism.

[0006] The bottom of the rack is fixed with a built-in copper ring placement device; the built-in copper ring placement visual imaging mechanism is located directly above the built-in copper ring placement device and fixed to the top of the rack; the built-in copper ring drop collection device is fixed to the bottom of the rack; and the built-in copper ring drop visual imaging mechanism is fixed to the top of the rack.

[0007] The built-in copper ring placement device includes a base plate, a vertical plate, a positioning block, and a positioning pin; the base plate is fixed to the bottom of the frame with bolts, the vertical plate is fixed to the base plate with bolts, the positioning block is fixed to the base plate with bolts, and the positioning pin is fixed to the vertical plate with bolts.

[0008] The built-in copper ring houses the visual imaging mechanism, which includes a light source, a camera, a bracket, and a mounting plate. The light source and camera are fixed to the bracket with bolts, the bracket is fixed to the mounting plate with bolts, and the mounting plate is fixed to the top of the frame with bolts.

[0009] The built-in copper ring drop collection device includes a base plate, a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, and a right panel; the base plate is fixed to the frame with bolts, and the front panel, rear panel, left panel, and right panel are fixed to the base plate with bolts.

[0010] The built-in copper ring drop vision photography mechanism includes two light sources, two cameras, a light source mounting bracket, and a camera mounting bracket. The two light sources are fixed to the light source mounting bracket with bolts, and the two cameras are fixed to the camera mounting bracket with bolts. The light source mounting bracket and the camera mounting bracket are fixed to the top of the frame with bolts.

[0011] The working principle of this device is as follows: First, the first workpiece is placed on the positioning block of the built-in copper ring placement device. Then, the built-in copper ring is placed on the first workpiece. At this time, the built-in copper ring placement visual imaging mechanism identifies the presence or absence of the copper ring; this is the first layer of error prevention. Next, the second workpiece is placed on the built-in copper ring. If the built-in copper ring falls during placement, it will fall into the built-in copper ring fall collection device. The built-in copper ring fall visual imaging mechanism then identifies it. If it is detected, it proves that the copper ring has fallen; if it is not detected, it proves that the copper ring has not fallen; this is the second layer of error prevention. By determining the presence or absence of the built-in copper ring through two layers of visual imaging, the problem of missing copper rings is fundamentally solved. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The following provides a specific implementation of the error-proofing mechanism of this utility model that determines the presence or absence of a built-in copper ring based on visual photography.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a fault-prevention mechanism based on visual imaging to determine the presence or absence of a built-in copper ring. It includes a frame 1, a built-in copper ring placement device 2, a built-in copper ring placement visual imaging mechanism 3, a built-in copper ring drop collection device 4, and a built-in copper ring drop visual imaging mechanism 5. The built-in copper ring placement device is bolted to the bottom of the frame. The built-in copper ring placement visual imaging mechanism is located directly above the built-in copper ring placement device and bolted to the top of the frame. The built-in copper ring drop collection device is bolted to the bottom of the frame, and the built-in copper ring drop visual imaging mechanism is bolted to the top of the frame.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the built-in copper ring placement device, which includes a base plate 6, a vertical plate 7, a positioning block 8, and a positioning pin 9. The base plate is fixed to the bottom of the frame with bolts, the vertical plate is fixed to the base plate with bolts, the positioning block is fixed to the base plate with bolts, and the positioning pin is fixed to the vertical plate with bolts. First, the first workpiece is placed on the positioning block, and then the built-in copper ring is placed on the first workpiece 23. After the built-in copper ring placement vision imaging mechanism above has completed its recognition, the second workpiece 24 is then placed on the built-in copper ring.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a vision imaging mechanism for placing the built-in copper ring. It includes a light source 10, a camera 11, a bracket 12, and a mounting plate 13. The light source and camera are fixed to the bracket with bolts, the bracket is fixed to the mounting plate with bolts, and the mounting plate is fixed to the top of the frame with bolts. When the built-in copper ring 25 is placed on the first workpiece 23, the mechanism determines the presence or absence of the copper ring through vision imaging.

[0024] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a built-in copper ring collection device, which includes a base plate 14, a front panel 15, a rear panel 16, a left panel 17, and a right panel 18. The base plate is fixed to the frame with bolts, and the front, rear, left, and right panels are fixed to the base plate with bolts. When the second workpiece 24 is placed on the built-in copper ring, if the built-in copper ring falls during this process, the fallen copper ring will be collected by this device.

[0025] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a built-in visual imaging mechanism for detecting fallen copper rings. It includes two light sources (19), two cameras (20), a light source mounting bracket (21), and a camera mounting bracket (22). The two light sources are fixed to the light source mounting bracket with bolts, and the two cameras are fixed to the camera mounting bracket with bolts. The light source mounting bracket and the camera mounting bracket are fixed to the top of the frame with bolts. This mechanism is mainly used to identify copper rings that have fallen onto the built-in copper ring collection device. If a ring is detected, it proves that a copper ring has fallen; if no ring is detected, it proves that a copper ring has not fallen.

[0026] By using two visual photographs to determine the presence of the built-in copper ring, the problem of missing copper rings can be fundamentally solved.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
