The motor of the conveying mechanism 102 drives the conveying module 1021 to move, and the cylinder drives the gripper 1022 to clamp the sealing ring and place it in a designated position for the clamping mechanism 205 of the rotary conveyor 2 to pick it up for transport and testing. The motor 201 of the rotary conveyor 2 drives the turntable 202 to rotate, causing the clamping mechanism 205 to actuate and pick up the sealing ring. After this, the motor 203 drives the turntable 204 to rotate, transporting the picked-up sealing ring to... Figure 4 The first end-face inspection station 3 shown in the diagram uses a cylinder 301 to lift and pick up the sealing ring. A photoelectric sensor is used to locate the sealing ring, and an inspection camera 302 above the station captures an image of the first end face of the sealing ring for inspection. The rotary conveyor 2 continues to clamp and transport the sealing ring to...

The rotating conveyor 2 continues to clamp and convey the sealing ring to... Figure 6 The inner lip inspection station 5 shown in the diagram has a cylinder-lifting rotating assembly 501 that receives the sealing ring. After the sealing ring is placed in the photoelectric sensor position, the rotating assembly drives the sealing ring to rotate continuously. Cameras 502 and 503 on the side and above simultaneously acquire images of the inner lip of the sealing ring for inspection. The rotating conveyor 2 continues to clamp and convey the sealing ring to... Figure 7 The side inspection station 6 shown has a rotating table 601 that receives the sealing ring and drives it to rotate continuously. A slotted photoelectric control motor rotates the ring, and a side camera 602 acquires a side image of the sealing ring for inspection. The rotating conveyor 2 continues to pick up the sealing ring and transport it to the first flipping station. The flipping mechanism 7 of the first flipping station flips the sealing ring 180° up and down for inspection of the other end face. The inspection station for the other end face is set up the same as the first end face inspection station. The rotating conveyor 2 continues to pick up the sealing ring and transport it to the second end face inspection station 8 for inspection of the other end face. Then, the rotating conveyor 2 continues to pick up the sealing ring and transport it to the second flipping station. The other flipping mechanism 9 of the second flipping station flips the sealing ring.
