Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware processing related products, specifically a testing device for hardware threaded parts. Background Technology
[0002] Hardware: Traditional hardware products, also known as "small hardware." It refers to the five metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin. Through manual processing, they can be made into works of art such as knives and swords, or other metal components. Modern hardware is much broader, including hardware tools, hardware parts, daily-use hardware, building hardware, and security products. During the production and processing of hardware parts, it is necessary to inspect the parts before processing.
[0003] However, the current method of inspecting threaded parts is to use manual full inspection. Because there are too many dimensions to be inspected, the inspection cost is too high, and it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to defects. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the front surface of the testing box is hinged with two oppositely arranged doors.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a coaxial light source is installed on the inner wall of the detection box on the side closest to the industrial camera.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] The inspection equipment for this hardware threaded part works by pouring the product to be processed into a vibrating tray. The vibrating tray arranges the product neatly through vibration and passes it through the tray conveyor belt. Then, a cylinder rises to lift the product to the PPU robot's pick-up position. Once in position, the PPU robot moves the product from the pick-up position to the turntable fixture. The divider turntable rotates the workpiece, and a tooth-checking servo motor is installed on the linear slide. The linear slide works in sync with the tooth-checking servo motor to check the teeth. The dimensions are checked using an industrial camera.
[0013] The testing equipment for this threaded hardware component, through the setting of automated testing devices, can be faster in terms of efficiency, effectively solving the problem of production capacity and reducing the testing cost of this product. Attached Figure Description
