Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial visual inspection, and in particular to an automated visual inspection device for defects in watch straps. Background Technology

[0002] In the watch manufacturing industry, the inspection of defects in watch straps mainly relies on manual visual inspection. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires a high level of experience and concentration from the inspectors. The inherent drawbacks of manual inspection, such as its strong subjectivity and susceptibility to fatigue, often lead to inconsistent inspection standards, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the results. This is especially true for minor defects such as tiny scratches, color differences, and deformations, where manual inspection often falls short and is inefficient.

[0003] In the field of watch strap inspection, visual inspection technology can quickly and accurately identify surface defects, greatly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. However, most existing visual inspection devices are designed for specific sizes or types of watch straps, lacking flexibility and making it difficult to adapt to the diverse needs of watch straps of different lengths in the market. This is mainly reflected in the limited range of adjustment of the fixing fixtures, camera position, and angle of the inspection device, making it impossible to effectively inspect watch straps of different widths and lengths without changing equipment or making complex adjustments. This limits the widespread application of visual inspection technology in watch strap defect detection.

[0004] Therefore, developing a visual inspection device that can automatically adapt to watch straps of different lengths and efficiently and accurately detect surface defects is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art to address the above-mentioned issues and improve the quality control level of watch manufacturing.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the equipment mainly includes a vision inspection unit 1, a fixture unit 2, a slide unit 3, and a supplementary lighting unit 4.

[0021] In the vision inspection unit 1, the first base 11 serves as the supporting foundation for the vision inspection unit. A telescopic bracket 12 is mounted on the first base 11 and is used to adjust the height and angle of the industrial camera 14. A camera clamp 13 is fixed above the telescopic bracket 12 to securely hold the industrial camera 14. The industrial camera 14 is mounted in the camera clamp 13, aligned with the clamping unit 2, and is responsible for capturing images of the watch strap for analysis.

[0022] In the clamping section 2, the clamping base 21 serves as the main support for the clamping section. A rotary cylinder 22 is mounted above the clamping base 21, driving the rotating platform 23 to rotate and achieve a full-range display of the watch strap. A fixing pin 24 is located on the left side of the rotating platform 23 to secure one end of the watch strap. A pneumatic parallel clamp 25 is located on the right side of the rotating platform 23 to clamp the other end of the watch strap. An L-shaped upright plate 27 is installed below the fixing pin 24 to raise the fixing pin 24, making it level with the pneumatic parallel clamp 25.

[0023] The manual slide 26 is mounted on the fixture base 21 and includes a slide base 261 and a slide 262 that can slide on it. The slide 262 is connected to the slide base 261 via a dovetail groove and is fixed in position by tightening the nut 263. A handle 264 is provided on the side of the tightening nut 263 for easy adjustment of the position of the slide 262.

[0024] In the slide section 3, the linear slide 31 serves as the moving track for the clamping section 2. A servo motor 32 is mounted on one side of the linear slide 31, driving the clamping section 2 to move left and right on the linear slide 31, controlling the position of the item being inspected, and realizing continuous inspection of the watch strap.

[0025] The second base 41 in the supplementary lighting section 4 serves as a support for the supplementary lighting section. The folding arm 42 is mounted above the second base 41 and has a double-arm folding structure, used to adjust the height and angle of the supplementary light 43. The supplementary light 43 is mounted above the folding arm 42 and is ring-shaped. The industrial camera 14 can photograph the watch strap clamped on the fixture section 2 through its internal circular hole, ensuring good lighting conditions.

[0026] Specific usage steps:

[0027] First, insert one end of the watch strap to be tested into the retaining pin 24 and secure it, while placing the other end in the pneumatic parallel clamp 25 and clamping it. Adjust the position of the manual slide 26 using the handle 264, allowing the slide 262 to slide on the slide base 261, thereby tensioning or loosening the watch strap to accommodate different lengths. After adjustment, tighten the tightening nut 263 to secure the position of the slide 262. If necessary, adjust the height and angle of the supplementary light 43 using the folding arm 42 to ensure uniform and sufficient illumination.

[0028] The starting device activates the rotary cylinder 22, which drives the rotating platform 23 to rotate, exposing the watch strap to the industrial camera 14 from all angles. Simultaneously, the servo motor 32 drives the clamping unit 2 to move left and right on the linear slide 31, moving the watch strap to be inspected to the position where the industrial camera will capture the image. The industrial camera 14 captures a high-definition image of the watch strap through the internal circular hole of the supplementary light 43, and transmits the image data to the processing system for analysis, thereby quickly and accurately identifying defects on the watch strap.
