[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-type license plate quality inspection mechanism, including a workbench 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed at the top of the workbench 1, a first support frame 3 fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the workbench 1, a knob 4 provided at the top of the first support frame 3, a rotating shaft 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the knob 4, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first support frame 3, a first locking tooth 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first support frame 3, a second locking tooth 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5, the first locking tooth 6 and the second locking tooth 7 engaging, a turntable 8 rotatably connected to the top of the second locking tooth 7, a first spring 9 fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 8, the top of the first spring 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first support frame 3, a gear 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 5, toothed plates 11 meshing with both sides of the outer wall of the gear 10, the top of the toothed plates 11 slidably connected to the inner wall of the first support frame 3, and a limiting plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the toothed plates 11.

[0026] Specifically, the workbench 1 is equipped with a motor to drive the conveyor belt 2. The gear 10 is relatively long. When the knob 4 is moved upward, the gear 10 will also move upward. However, the gear 10 is relatively long and still meshes with the toothed plates 11 on both sides. The turntable 8 rotates between the turntable and the second tooth 7. This ensures that when the rotating shaft 5 drives the second tooth 7 to rotate, it will not affect the first spring 9. The rotating shaft 5 passes through the turntable 8 and the first tooth 6 without contacting them.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A second support frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top left of the workbench 1. Two sliding rods 14 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the second support frame 13. A control plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 14. Two connecting rods 22 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the front and rear control plates 15. The opposite ends of the fixed plates 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the connecting rods 22. A second spring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 14. One end of the second spring 17 is connected to the control plate 15, and the other end of the second spring 17 is connected to the second support frame 13. Electric push rods 18 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the second support frame 13. The driving ends of the electric push rods 18 are fixedly connected to the moving plates 19. A data acquisition camera 20 and a metal sensor 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the second support frame 13. The metal sensor 21 is located at the right end of the data acquisition camera 20.

[0028] Specifically, there is a large space between the control plate 15 and the fixed plate 16. When the moving plate 19 moves, it releases the limit on the control plate 15. The second spring 17 then pushes the fixed plate 16 to the outside of the license plate, which can accommodate different types of license plates. A control console is installed on the workbench 1. The control console controls the conveyor belt 2, the electric push rod 18, the data acquisition camera 20, and the metal sensor 21 through electrical connection. After the metal sensor 21 detects the license plate, it will activate the electric push rod 18 through the control console. After the data acquisition camera 20 captures the license plate image, it will send it to the control console for image recognition processing, output string information, and match it with the information searched in the database. If they match, the quality inspection is passed. If they do not match, a warning is issued.

[0029] Working principle: During use, adjust the distance between the upper limit plates 12 of the conveyor belt 2 according to the type of license plate to be detected. Move the knob 4 upward, so that the knob 4 drives the second locking tooth 7 upward through the rotating shaft 5, causing the second locking tooth 7 to disengage from the first locking tooth 6. At the same time, the second locking tooth 7 drives the turntable 8 upward and compresses the first spring 9. Then rotate the knob 4, so that the knob 4 drives the gear 10 to rotate through the rotating shaft 5. The gear 10 drives the toothed plates 11 on both sides to slide inside the first support frame 3. The toothed plates 11 drive the limit plates 12 to move, changing the distance between the front and rear limit plates 12, which can guide different types of license plates. Then release the knob 4, and the first spring 9 returns to its original position. Turntable 8 drives the second locking tooth 7 to move downwards and engage with the first locking tooth 6, fixing the rotating shaft 5 and thus fixing the limiting plate 12. Then, the license plate is placed on the conveyor belt 2, which will move the license plate to the left. When the metal sensor 21 detects the license plate, the electric push rod 18 will be activated, driving the moving plate 19 to move towards the middle of the conveyor belt 2, so that the moving plate 19 can release the restriction on the control plate 15. The second spring 17 moves the control plate 15 towards the middle of the conveyor belt 2, and the control plate 15 will drive the fixing plate 16 to move closer to the outside of the license plate through the connecting rod 22, so that the fixing plate 16 fixes the license plate. Then, the data acquisition camera 20 will take a picture of the license plate.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
