[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a turntable inspection device, including an installation platform 1 and a turntable 2 rotatably installed on the installation platform 1. A feeding tray 3 is installed on the outside of the installation platform 1, and a valve 4 to be inspected is loaded into the feeding tray 3. A feeding mechanism 5 is provided on the installation platform 1 to grab the valve 4 of the feeding tray 3 and place it onto the upper surface of the turntable 2. On the installation platform 1, an inspection station 6, a recycling station 7, and a unloading station 8 are arranged sequentially around the turntable 2.

[0018] The rotary table 2 inspection device of this application is used to inspect the valve stem 4 for external defects such as holes, burrs, flash, and seams. The valve stems 4 to be inspected are first loaded into the loading tray 3. The loading tray 3 then transports the valve stems 4 one by one to its side. The loading mechanism 5 picks up the valve stems 4 transported from the loading tray 3 and places them one by one onto the upper surface of the rotary table 2. The rotary table 2 rotates, causing the valve stems 4 to flow between the inspection station 6, the recycling station 7, and the unloading station 8. The inspection station 6 inspects the valve stems 4. After inspection, the valve stems 4 flow to the next process. When the inspection station 6 finds a defective product, the recycling station 7 transfers the corresponding valve stem 4 from the rotary table 2 to the recycling station 7. Other qualified valve stems 4 are received by the unloading station 8. This process distinguishes between defective and qualified products. The rotary table 2 testing device operates in full automation, enabling automated production line testing of several valve stem parameters and accurate differentiation between qualified and unqualified products, thus achieving high testing efficiency.

[0019] The inspection station 6 includes several inspection cameras 9, which are arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the turntable 2 and respectively aimed at different inspection areas on the valve stem 4 on the turntable 2. The turntable 2 inspection device mainly uses CCD inspection cameras 9 to perform visual inspection on the relevant indicators of the valve stem 4's shape, primarily for detecting parameters such as holes, burrs, flash, and seams on the valve stem 4. On the turntable 2, the inspection cameras 9 are aimed at different parts of the valve stem 4 according to the different inspection requirements. When the turntable 2 rotates and delivers the valve stem 4 to each station, the inspection cameras 9 take detailed photographs and make comparative judgments on different parts of the valve stem 4.

[0020] The recycling station 7 includes a recycling air gun 10 and a recycling tray 11. The recycling tray 11 is located on the outer periphery of the turntable 2. The recycling air gun 10 blows air from the valve 4 on the turntable 2 towards the recycling tray 11. The unloading station 8 includes a unloading air gun 12 and a unloading tray 13. The unloading tray 13 is located on the outer periphery of the turntable 2. The unloading air gun 12 blows air from the valve 4 on the turntable 2 towards the unloading tray 13.

[0021] Both the recycling station 7 and the unloading station 8 are follow-up processing steps for the valve 4 after it has passed through the inspection station 6. When the inspection station 6 finds that the valve 4 is defective, the inspection device will record it. When the turntable 2 transfers the valve 4 to the recycling station 7, the recycling air gun 10 blows air at the defective valve 4 found in the previous inspection station 6, blowing the valve 4 down to the recycling tray 11. When the other qualified valves 4 are transferred to the unloading station 8, the unloading air gun 12 blows each valve 4 down to the unloading tray 13.

[0022] The feeding mechanism 5 includes a horizontally mounted transverse guide rail 14, a slider 15 slidably mounted on the transverse guide rail 14, a feeding cylinder 16 that drives the slider 15 to move along the transverse guide rail 14, a linear motor 17 vertically mounted on the slider 15, and a gripper 18 mounted on the linear motor 17.

[0023] The feeding cylinder 16 can drive the slider 15 to move laterally, which in turn drives the gripper 18 to move between the feeding plate 3 and the turntable 2. In conjunction with the gripper 18 moving up and down under the drive of the linear motor 17, the action of picking up the valve 4 one by one from the feeding plate 3 and placing them on the upper surface of the turntable 2 can be completed.

[0024] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
