[0021] This utility model is as follows Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an inspection device for automotive headlight panels includes a worktable 10, a conveying mechanism 20 for conveying headlight panels, an appearance inspection mechanism 30 for performing appearance inspection on the headlight panels, and a continuity inspection mechanism 40 for performing continuity inspection on the headlight panels, wherein:

[0022] The conveying mechanism 20 is mounted on the workbench 10. The appearance inspection mechanism 30 and the continuity inspection mechanism 40 are distributed sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 20. The conveying mechanism 20 has a positioning component 21 for positioning the headlight panel and a blocking component 22 for blocking the headlight panel. The output end of the positioning component 21 abuts against the headlight panel. The output end of the blocking component 22 can rise and abut against the side wall of the headlight panel.

[0023] The conveying mechanism 20 conveys the headlight panel forward, the blocking component 22 stops the headlight panel, and the positioning component 21 first positions the headlight panel to ensure the positional accuracy of the headlight panel on the conveying mechanism 20. After positioning, the blocking component 22 moves backward, and the headlight panel continues to be conveyed forward to the area below the appearance inspection mechanism 30, which takes pictures of the appearance of the headlight panel. The headlight panel continues to be conveyed forward to the area below the continuity inspection mechanism 40, which tests the continuity of the headlight panel.

[0024] By employing a conveying mechanism 20, an appearance inspection mechanism 30, and a continuity inspection mechanism 40, the vehicle headlight panel is conveyed, its appearance is inspected, and its continuity is inspected, thus improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. By employing a positioning component 21, the vehicle headlight panel is positioned on the conveying mechanism 20, ensuring the positional accuracy of the vehicle headlight panel during conveying and improving inspection accuracy. By employing a stop component 22, the vehicle headlight panel is stopped, facilitating the inspection of the vehicle headlight panel.

[0025] The conveying mechanism 20 also includes a conveying drive motor and a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being installed at the output end of the conveying drive motor; the conveying mechanism 20 also includes a material sensor for detecting whether a headlight panel is passing by, the material sensor being a plurality of such sensors being spaced apart along the conveying direction of the headlight panel.

[0026] The conveyor belt is driven by a drive motor to achieve automated continuous conveying, reducing manual intervention and improving inspection efficiency; the conveyor belt has a simple and reliable structure and can adapt to the conveying needs of different sized vehicle headlight panels; by using material sensors to monitor the position of the vehicle headlight panels in real time, the system can accurately trigger stop, positioning and inspection actions to avoid false detection or missed detection; multi-sensor staged detection ensures coordinated operation of each workstation.

[0027] The positioning component 21 includes a positioning drive cylinder 211 and a push plate 212. The positioning drive cylinder 211 is longitudinally arranged on the worktable 10, and the push plate 212 is installed at the output end of the positioning drive cylinder 211. The push plate 212 can move longitudinally to abut against the headlight panel.

[0028] The positioning drive cylinder 211 drives the push plate 212 to longitudinally abut against the headlight plate, pushing the headlight plate to a specific position, so that the headlight plate is conveyed forward at a specific position, quickly completing the positioning and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent detection.

[0029] The stop assembly 22 includes a stop drive cylinder 221 and a baffle 222. The stop drive cylinder 221 is vertically mounted on the worktable 10, and the baffle 222 is mounted on the output end of the stop drive cylinder 221. The baffle 222 can rise and abut against the side wall of the headlight panel.

[0030] The stop assembly 22 consists of three sets, each corresponding to a positioning assembly 21, an appearance inspection mechanism 30, and a continuity inspection mechanism 40.

[0031] Three sets of stop-and-hold control mechanisms control the position of the headlight panel in stages, ensuring that the positioning, appearance inspection, and continuity inspection stations operate independently without interference. The stop-and-hold drive cylinder 221 drives the baffle 222 to rise and fall, with fast response and stable and reliable stop-and-hold, preventing the headlight panel from shifting or tipping over.

[0032] The appearance inspection mechanism 30 includes a horizontal drive assembly 31, a vertical drive assembly 32, and a CCD camera. The horizontal drive assembly 31 is mounted on the worktable 10, the vertical drive assembly 32 is mounted at the output end of the horizontal drive assembly 31, and the CCD camera is mounted at the output end of the vertical drive assembly 32, with the CCD camera facing the headlight panel.

[0033] The conductivity testing mechanism 40 includes a horizontal drive assembly 41, a vertical drive assembly 42, and a testing probe 43. The horizontal drive assembly 41 is mounted on the worktable 10, the vertical drive assembly 42 is mounted at the output end of the horizontal drive assembly 41, and the testing probe 43 is mounted at the output end of the vertical drive assembly 42. The testing probe 43 can be lowered to abut against the headlight panel.

[0034] Both the lateral drive assembly 31 and the lateral movement drive assembly 41 include a drive motor, a lead screw, and a sliding seat. The lead screw is mounted on the output end of the drive motor and rotates in conjunction with the sliding seat. Both the vertical drive assembly 32 and the vertical movement drive assembly 42 include a drive cylinder and a sliding seat. The sliding seat is mounted on the output end of the drive cylinder. The lead screw transmission has high precision, and the drive motor controls the lateral movement of the CCD camera to cover different areas of the headlight panel, achieving full surface detection.

[0035] The transverse and vertical movements of the detection probe 43 are achieved by using the transverse drive component 41 and the vertical drive component 42, thus satisfying the position movement requirements.

[0036] The continuity testing mechanism 40 uses a continuity tester to test the continuity of the vehicle headlight panel, and the test probe 43 is connected to the continuity tester.

[0037] The usage method and principle of this automotive headlight panel detection device are as follows:

[0038] The conveying mechanism transports the headlight panel forward, the blocking component stops the headlight panel, and the positioning component first positions the headlight panel to ensure its positional accuracy on the conveying mechanism. After positioning, the blocking component moves backward, and the headlight panel continues to be transported forward to the area below the appearance inspection mechanism, which takes pictures of the headlight panel's appearance. The headlight panel continues to be transported forward to the area below the continuity inspection mechanism, which tests the continuity of the headlight panel.

[0039] The key design features of this invention are: by employing a conveying mechanism, an appearance inspection mechanism, and a continuity inspection mechanism to achieve the conveying, appearance inspection, and continuity inspection of the vehicle headlight panel, the inspection efficiency and accuracy are improved; by employing a positioning component to position the vehicle headlight panel on the conveying mechanism, the positional accuracy of the vehicle headlight panel during conveying is ensured, thus improving the inspection accuracy; and by employing a stop component to stop the vehicle headlight panel, the inspection of the vehicle headlight panel is facilitated.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
