Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a testing equipment for oil pan components. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, components such as seals and bushings for automotive engine oil pans are assembled using traditional semi-manual methods. This traditional manual or semi-automatic assembly method requires individual inspection of each component on the oil pan after assembly to ensure it is properly installed. However, this individual inspection is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Furthermore, human fatigue can easily lead to missed inspections. Therefore, a device capable of inspecting the oil pan is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention proposes an oil pan component testing device, which solves the problems of low efficiency and easy omissions in the manual testing of oil pan components in the prior art.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An oil pan component inspection device is provided. The inspection device includes an inspection machine, a clamping fixture disposed on the inspection machine, and a vision inspection component. The clamping fixture is used to support the oil pan. The vision inspection component includes a first vision unit, a second vision unit, and a third vision unit. The first vision unit and the third vision unit are oriented towards component one of the oil pan with different acquisition directions, and the second vision unit and the third vision unit are oriented towards component two of the oil pan with different acquisition directions.
[0006] The testing equipment also includes a proximity switch, which is mounted on the testing machine platform and faces the internal component of the hole on the oil pan.
[0007] The testing equipment also includes a laser marking unit, which includes a marking bracket and a laser marking head. The marking bracket is mounted on the testing machine platform, and the laser marking head is mounted on the marking bracket and located directly above the oil pan.
[0008] The first vision unit, the second vision unit, and the third vision unit all include a support frame and a vision acquisition head, wherein the vision acquisition head is angle-adjustable and mounted on the support frame.
[0009] The mounting fixture includes multiple support blocks, which have a stepped structure and are located around the oil pan.
[0010] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] This utility model discloses an oil pan component inspection device. Specifically, a clamping fixture is set on the inspection machine for positioning and placing the oil pan. Component 1 and Component 2 are installed on the oil pan. It should be noted that Component 1 and Component 2 can be sealing rings, but are not limited to this and can also be other components. The vision inspection component is equipped with a first vision unit, a second vision unit, and a third vision unit. The first and second vision units are used to acquire images of Component 1 from different angles and compare them with standard images to determine whether Component 1 is installed correctly. Similarly, the second and third vision units acquire images of Component 2 from different angles and compare the images to determine whether Component 2 is installed correctly. The above scheme can relatively efficiently and accurately inspect the installation of oil pan components, thereby solving the problems of low efficiency and easy omissions in the manual inspection of oil pan components in the prior art.

[0016] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an oil pan component inspection device. The inspection device includes an inspection platform 1, a clamping fixture 2 mounted on the inspection platform 1, and a vision inspection component. The clamping fixture 2 is used to support the oil pan. The vision inspection component includes a first vision unit 3, a second vision unit 4, and a third vision unit 5. The first vision unit 3 and the third vision unit 5 are oriented towards a component of the oil pan with different acquisition directions, and the second vision unit 4 and the third vision unit 5 are oriented towards a component of the oil pan with different acquisition directions.
[0018] This embodiment discloses an oil pan component inspection device. Specifically, a clamping fixture 2 is provided on the inspection machine 1 for positioning and placing the oil pan. Component 1 and Component 2 are installed on the oil pan. It should be noted that Component 1 and Component 2 can be sealing rings, but are not limited to this and can also be other components. The vision inspection component is provided with a first vision unit 3, a second vision unit 4, and a third vision unit 5. The first vision unit 3 and the second vision unit 4 are used to acquire images of Component 1 from different angles and compare them with a standard image to determine whether Component 1 is installed correctly. Similarly, the second vision unit 4 and the third vision unit 5 acquire images of Component 2 from different angles and compare the images to determine whether Component 2 is installed correctly. The above scheme can relatively efficiently and accurately inspect the installation of oil pan components.
