The second mounting plate is located at the upper end of the first mounting plate, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The lifting plate is located at the upper end of the second mounting plate. The first snap-fit ​​groove is symmetrically located on both sides of the upper end of the lifting plate.

[0007] In a further improvement, the testing frame is equipped with an adjustment module, which includes a second slide rail and an adjustment component. The second slide rail is arranged perpendicularly to the first slide rail.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0016] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0017] Example 1 A mandrel stepping feeding and detection device includes a material rack 1 and a stepping detection mechanism 2. The material rack 1 has a lifting module 11 for lifting the mandrel on the side near the stepping detection mechanism 2. The stepping detection mechanism 2 includes a detection frame 21, a stepping module 22 for stepping and conveying the mandrel, and a detection module 23 for detecting the mandrel. The detection frame 21 has a slide rail 211. The stepping module 22 includes a moving component 221 that moves along the slide rail 211 and a support for supporting the mandrel. The support plate 222, the moving component 221 has lifting and horizontal translation functions to realize the transfer of the mandrel between the support plates 222, and its upper end is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 22151 for positioning the mandrel. The support plate 222 is disposed at both ends of the detection frame 21 and located outside the moving component 221. The upper end of the support plate 222 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 2221 that is adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove 22151. The detection module 23 is disposed on the outside of the snap-fit ​​groove 2221 near the material rack 1. The moving component 221 includes a mounting plate 2211, a lifting cylinder 2212, a translation cylinder 2213, a mounting plate 2214, and a lifting plate 2215. The lower end of the mounting plate 2211 is slidably mounted on a slide rail 2211. The lifting cylinder 2212 is located at the lower end of the mounting plate 2211, and its piston rod passes through the middle of the mounting plate 2211. The translation cylinder 2213 is mounted on the inspection frame 21 and is connected to the slide rail 2215. 11 is arranged horizontally, with the end of its piston rod connected to the lower end of mounting plate 2211 to drive mounting plate 2211 to slide along slide rail 211. Mounting plate 2214 is located on the upper end of mounting plate 2211 and its lower end is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod of lifting cylinder 2212. Lifting plate 2215 is located on the upper end of mounting plate 2214. The snap-fit ​​groove 22151 is symmetrically located on both sides of the upper end of lifting plate 2215.

[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the mandrel on the material rack 1 rolls to the lifting module 11 under its own weight. At this time, the lifting cylinder of the lifting module 11 is activated, driving the material support plate to move upward smoothly, accurately lifting the single mandrel and completing the lifting action; Next, the translation cylinder 2213 of the stepping module 22 starts working, driving the mounting plate 2211 to move towards the material rack 1 until the snap-fit ​​groove 22151 on the lifting plate 2215 is accurately aligned with the lower end of the mandrel. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 2212 starts, pushing the mounting plate 2214 upward, which in turn drives the lifting plate 2215 mounted on its upper end to rise synchronously. When the snap-fit ​​groove 22151 rises to contact the mandrel and smoothly lifts the mandrel from the lifting module 11 to the set height, the lifting cylinder 2212 stops, and the mandrel is stably supported in the snap-fit ​​groove 22151. Next, the translation cylinder 2213 is activated again. Since the end of its piston rod is connected to the lower end of mounting plate 2211, and the lower end of mounting plate 2211 is slidably mounted on slide rail 211, under the driving force of the translation cylinder 2213, mounting plate 2211 moves smoothly along slide rail 211 towards the detection module 23. When it reaches the position corresponding to the detection module 23, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 2212 retracts, causing mounting plate 2214, lifting plate 2215, and the spindle to descend synchronously. The spindle smoothly falls from the locking groove 22151 into the locking groove 2221 of the lower support plate 222. Subsequently, the detection modules 23 on both sides of the second snap-fit ​​slot 2221 are activated to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the mandrel. Simultaneously, the translation cylinder 2213 moves the mounting plate 2211 towards the material rack 1 again, repeating the lifting action to lift the second mandrel. Since the spacing between the two sets of snap-fit ​​slots 22151 is consistent with the spacing between the lifting module 11 and the snap-fit ​​slot 2221 located on the front side, the first mandrel, which has already completed its inspection, is simultaneously lifted during the process of lifting the second mandrel. After the lifting is completed, the device continues to repeat the above translational operation: the first mandrel is moved to the second set of locking slots 2221, and the second mandrel moves to the first set of locking slots 2221. Then, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 2212 retracts, and while the second mandrel is being inspected, the hoisting mechanism is activated to lift the first mandrel away and transfer it to the next process.

[0019] This practical information has the following beneficial effects: 1. Through the coordinated operation of the lifting module, stepping module, detection module, and hoisting mechanism, the entire process of mandrel loading, lifting, stepping conveying, detection, and transfer is fully automated. This eliminates the need for manual handling, positioning, and transfer of the mandrel, reducing labor intensity and preventing damage or detection errors caused by human error, thus improving overall production stability. 2. With the help of the moving components driven by the translation cylinder and the matching slot design, the device can simultaneously lift and move the next mandrel while inspecting the current mandrel, forming a continuous step-by-step operation process. This effectively shortens the inspection cycle of a single mandrel, increases the number of inspections per unit time, and meets the high-efficiency requirements of mass production.

[0020] As a further preferred embodiment, the testing frame 21 is provided with an adjustment module 3, which includes a second slide rail 31 and an adjustment component 32. The second slide rail 31 is arranged perpendicularly to the first slide rail 211. Two sets of support plates 222 are slidably mounted on the second slide rail 31, and one set of support plates 222 can be locked by a locking member. The adjustment component 32 includes a first rotating seat 321, a second rotating seat 322 and a lead screw 323. The first rotating seat 321 is located at the side end of the testing frame 21, and the second rotating seat 322 is located on the support plate 222 away from the first rotating seat 321. The two ends of the lead screw 323 are respectively rotatably mounted in the first rotating seat 321 and the second rotating seat 322, and one end of the lead screw 323 extends outward and passes through the first rotating seat 321. A rotating handwheel 324 is provided on the outwardly extending lead screw 323.

[0021] Specifically, since the rotating seat 322 is fixedly connected to the support plate 222, and the support plate 222 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 31, the rotation of the lead screw 323 is converted into the linear movement of the support plate 222 along the slide rail 31. When the handwheel 324 is turned clockwise, the lead screw 323 pushes the rotating seat 322 and the corresponding support plate 222 towards the rotating seat 321, reducing the distance between the two sets of support plates 222; when the handwheel 324 is turned counterclockwise, the support plate 222 moves away from the rotating seat 321, increasing the distance between the two sets of support plates 222. During the adjustment process, the operator can observe the distance between the two sets of support plates 222 in real time according to the actual length of the spindle until the appropriate position is reached. At this time, the handwheel 324 is stopped, and the movable support plate 222 is locked on the slide rail 31 by the locking device to ensure that the distance between the two sets of support plates 222 is fixed.

[0022] This invention allows for flexible adjustment of the spacing between two sets of support plates 222 by coordinating the slide rail 31 and the adjustment component 32 in the adjustment module 3. When dealing with mandrels of different lengths, the spacing between the support plates 222 can be precisely adjusted by rotating the handwheel 324, enabling the device to quickly adapt to the testing needs of mandrels of various sizes and greatly expanding the application range of the device.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, both the first snap-fit ​​groove 22151 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 2221 are V-shaped groove structures, and the groove angles and depths of the two are matched to achieve stable positioning of the mandrel.

[0024] Specifically, the inclined surfaces on both sides of the V-groove have a natural guiding function. When the mandrel contacts the V-groove, even if there is a slight deviation in the initial position, the mandrel will automatically slide along the inclined surface under its own gravity and eventually be stably locked at the bottom of the groove. This effectively avoids the mandrel shifting left or right during the transfer and placement process, ensuring that the mandrel is always in the preset precise position. This enhances the device's adaptability to mandrels of different diameters, eliminating the need to replace or adjust the groove for mandrels of different diameters.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, the mounting plate 2214 is provided with a slide rail 22141, and the lower end of the lifting plate 2215 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 22141.

[0026] Specifically, the lower end of the lifting plate 2215 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 22141, so that the distance between the two sets of lifting plates 2215 can be adjusted to meet the transportation needs of mandrels of different sizes.

[0027] As a further preferred embodiment, the mounting plate 2211 is provided with positioning holes 22111 at both ends, and the mounting plate 2214 is provided with positioning pins corresponding to the positioning holes 22111 at its lower end.

[0028] Specifically, by cooperating with the corresponding positioning holes 22111 and positioning pins, relative displacement between mounting plate 2211 and mounting plate 2214 is avoided when the translation cylinder 2213 pushes mounting plate 2211.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
