Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication structure technology, and in particular to a communication structure for industrial vision systems. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial automation inspection, industrial vision systems achieve efficient inspection of product quality through image acquisition and analysis. However, traditional systems have many limitations in practical applications. On the one hand, the core industrial control computer and PLC controller are prone to performance degradation due to poor heat dissipation during long-term operation, and may even experience communication delays or failures. At the same time, the lack of standardized cable management structure and protective design in the equipment installation area, as well as environmental factors such as dust, can affect the stable operation of core components, resulting in insufficient reliability of the communication link of the entire vision system, making it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-stability inspection requirements in industrial production. On the other hand, the target size and posture in the inspection scenario are diverse, and existing vision components often have insufficient field of view coverage due to inflexible angle adjustment, making it difficult to accurately adapt to different inspection needs. Moreover, camera cables are often exposed, making them susceptible to environmental interference or data instability due to excessive transmission distance. Therefore, we have introduced a new communication structure for industrial vision systems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a communication structure for industrial vision systems, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A communication structure for an industrial vision system includes a support frame. A heat dissipation mechanism is mounted at the lower end of the support frame, and a protective cover is mounted at the upper end of the support frame. A first motor is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the support frame, and a lead screw is fixedly mounted at the output end of the first motor. A bracket is movably mounted on the outer surface of the lead screw. A rotating groove is provided on the left inner side of the bracket, and a rotating vision component is disposed inside the rotating groove. A display is mounted on the upper left side of the heat dissipation mechanism, and an industrial computer and a PLC controller are respectively disposed on the left and right inner sides of the heat dissipation mechanism.
[0006] Preferably, the rotating vision component includes a second motor, a rotating rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor, a rotating ball is provided at the right end of the rotating rod, a mounting shell is fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer surface of the rotating ball through a connecting column, a first wiring port is provided at the upper left part of the mounting shell, and an opening groove is provided on the lower inner wall of the mounting shell, and a data acquisition camera is detachably installed inside the opening groove.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating ball is rotatably mounted inside the rotating groove.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible rotation function of the rotating component is realized, and the cooperation between the rotating ball and the rotating groove provides multi-dimensional angle adjustment.
[0009] Preferably, the second motor is fixedly mounted on the left end of the bracket.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating parts are directly driven by the motor output shaft to achieve automated angle adjustment.
[0011] Preferably, the bracket extends to the left side where the heat dissipation mechanism is installed.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the bracket and the heat dissipation installation mechanism are spatially connected.
[0013] Preferably, the installation of the heat dissipation mechanism includes an installation box, with installation ports provided at the middle of the left and right ends of the installation box. A fixing frame is provided inside each of the two installation ports, and a heat dissipation fan and an exhaust fan are respectively provided at the right ends of the two fixing frames. Protective doors are movably installed at the left and right front ends of the installation box via hinges. A ventilation plate is provided in the middle of the inner surface of the installation box, with a second wiring port at the lower left end of the ventilation plate, and a wiring hole is provided at the upper left end of the installation box.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions: the cooling fan and the exhaust fan form a convection air duct, which accelerates the air circulation inside the installation box and efficiently removes the heat generated by the operation of the equipment. The protective door is designed with hinges to make it easy to open and close, which facilitates the installation, inspection and maintenance of the equipment.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The second motor drives the rotating ball to rotate in the rotating slot through the rotating rod, realizing multi-angle precise adjustment of the acquisition camera to adapt to the viewing angle requirements of different detection targets. At the same time, the first cable outlet, together with the bracket extending to the left side of the heat dissipation mechanism, allows the camera cable to be routed to the mounting box in an orderly manner through the bracket. This reduces the interference risk caused by exposed and messy cables, and shortens the transmission distance between the acquisition camera and the industrial control computer, ensuring stable and efficient image data transmission, and taking into account both detection flexibility and communication reliability.
[0019] 2. By installing ventilation panels inside the enclosure, the industrial control computer and PLC controller are divided into left and right sections. With the left cooling fan and the right exhaust fan forming a convection airflow, the operating temperature of the equipment is effectively reduced, avoiding communication delays or failures caused by high temperatures. At the same time, the second cable port and cable hole standardize the cable connection between the equipment and the outside, and the protective door provides dust protection. From both heat dissipation and protection aspects, the stable operation of the core control equipment is guaranteed, and continuous and reliable hardware support is provided for the communication link.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] A communication structure for an industrial vision system includes a support frame 1. A heat dissipation mechanism 2 is installed at the lower end of the support frame 1, and a protective cover 3 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 1. A first motor 4 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support frame 1, and a lead screw 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 4. A bracket 6 is movably installed on the outer surface of the lead screw 5. A rotating groove 7 is provided on the left side inside the bracket 6, and a rotating vision component 8 is installed inside the rotating groove 7. A display 9 is provided on the upper left side of the heat dissipation mechanism 2, and an industrial control computer 10 and a PLC controller 11 are respectively provided on the left and right sides inside the heat dissipation mechanism 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rotating vision component 8 includes a second motor 81. A rotating rod 82 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 81. A rotating ball 83 is provided at the right end of the rotating rod 82. A mounting shell 84 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer surface of the rotating ball 83 through a connecting post. A first wiring port 85 is provided on the upper left part of the mounting shell 84. An opening groove 86 is provided on the lower inner wall of the mounting shell 84. A data acquisition camera 87 is detachably installed inside the opening groove 86. The rotating ball 83 is rotatably installed inside the rotating groove 7. The second motor 81 is fixedly installed on the left end of the bracket 6. The bracket 6 extends to the left side of the heat dissipation mechanism 2.
[0031] Through the above scheme: after the second motor 81 starts, its output end drives the rotating rod 82 to rotate, and the rotating rod 82 in turn drives the rotating ball 83 to rotate flexibly in the rotating groove 7. The rotating ball 83 drives the mounting shell 84 and the internal acquisition camera 87 to rotate synchronously through the connecting column, so as to realize the multi-angle adjustment of the acquisition camera 87 to accurately align with the detection target. The first cable outlet 85 facilitates the standardized exit of the cable of the acquisition camera 87. The opening groove 86 facilitates the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the acquisition camera 87. The bracket 6 extends to the left side of the heat dissipation mechanism 2, so that the cable can pass from the acquisition camera 87 through the bracket 6 to the heat dissipation mechanism 2, reducing cable clutter and shortening the transmission distance.
[0032] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 2 is installed in a mounting box 21. Mounting ports 22 are provided at the middle of the left and right ends of the mounting box 21. Fixing frames 23 are installed inside each mounting port 22. A cooling fan 24 and an exhaust fan 29 are respectively installed at the right ends of the two fixing frames 23. Protective doors 25 are movably installed at the left and right front ends of the mounting box 21 via hinges.

A wiring hole 28 is provided at the upper left end of the mounting box 21. The industrial computer 10 and the PLC controller 11 are respectively installed on the left and right sides inside the mounting box 21.
[0033] Through the above scheme: In the heat dissipation mechanism 2, the mounting box 21 provides installation space for the industrial computer 10 and PLC controller 11. The left cooling fan 24 draws in external cold air and the right exhaust fan 29 exhausts internal hot air. Together with the ventilation plate 26, they form a convection air duct, which efficiently dissipates heat for the industrial computer 10 and PLC controller 11 installed in the left and right partitions. The protective door 25 opens and closes with a hinge, which facilitates equipment maintenance and is dustproof and moistureproof. The second cable port 27 and cable hole 28 facilitate cable connection between the industrial computer 10, PLC controller 11 and external equipment.
[0034] It should be noted that this utility model is a communication structure for an industrial vision system. During use, when the acquisition height needs to be adjusted, the first motor 4 starts and drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, causing the bracket 6 to move up and down along the lead screw 5, thereby adjusting the height of the rotating vision component 8 to accommodate different sized detection targets. When the rotating vision component 8 is working, the second motor 81 drives the rotating rod 82 to rotate, and the rotating rod 82 drives the rotating ball 83 to rotate flexibly in the rotating groove 7. This, in turn, drives the mounting shell 84 and the internal acquisition camera 87 to rotate synchronously through the connecting column, achieving multi-angle precise alignment of the acquisition camera 87. The first cable routing port 85 allows the cable of the acquisition camera 87 to pass through in a standardized manner, and the opening groove 86 facilitates the quick disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the acquisition camera 87. The bracket 6 extends to the left side of the mounting heat dissipation mechanism 2, allowing the cable to orderly run from the acquisition camera 87 through the bracket 6 to the mounting heat dissipation mechanism 2, reducing cable clutter and shortening signal transmission time. Distance is reduced to minimize interference; in the heat dissipation mechanism 2, the mounting box 21 provides a closed installation space for the industrial computer 10 and PLC controller 11. The left cooling fan 24 draws in external cold air from the mounting port 22, and the right exhaust fan 29 exhausts hot air from the other mounting port 22. Together with the ventilation plate 26, they form an efficient convection air duct to cool the industrial computer 10 and PLC controller 11 installed in the left and right sections, avoiding the impact of high temperature on the stability of operation. The protective door 25 opens and closes with a hinge for easy equipment maintenance and dust prevention. The second cable port 27 and cable hole 28 are used to connect the industrial computer 10, PLC controller 11 and external equipment to realize the orderly transmission of detection data and control commands. The display 9 displays the detection screen and system status in real time. The overall structure can be adapted to various detection scenarios through flexible adjustment of height and angle. Combined with standardized cable management and efficient heat dissipation design, it ensures stable communication links and reliable equipment operation.
