Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coating detection technology, specifically the coating detection of ceramic carriers. Background Technology

[0002] After the surface coating of the honeycomb ceramic substrate is applied, visual inspection equipment is often needed to check the coating quality. Currently, existing inspection devices are generally located directly on top of a shelf, with the honeycomb ceramic substrate to be inspected placed on a platform. This inspection method requires the ceramic substrate to be placed in and out of the platform each time, resulting in a long waiting time.

[0003] Authorized publication number CN221124285U discloses a honeycomb ceramic carrier coating detection device, including an assembly base, a conveying mechanism mounted above the assembly base, a bracket fixedly connected to the top of the assembly base, a side plate mounted on one side of the bracket, a clamping structure mounted on the other side of the bracket, a threaded drive assembly fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, and a belt drive structure between the threaded drive assembly and the clamping structure. This device fixes the ceramic carrier through the cooperation of the side plate and the clamping plate, and the threaded drive assembly can drive a baffle to descend, forming a sealed space with the bracket to prevent the honeycomb ceramic carrier from being affected by external light.

[0004] However, even with side plates and clamps to intercept and fix the ceramic carriers during transport, the conveyor belt continues to operate, causing friction between the bottom of the ceramic carrier and the moving conveyor belt, which can easily lead to wear on the bottom of the ceramic carrier. Furthermore, if the conveyor belt is required to stop immediately after the ceramic carrier reaches a designated position, a complex electrical control system is needed, resulting in higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic carrier coating testing device that, through structural optimization, aims to eliminate the problem of wear on the bottom of the ceramic carrier caused by friction between the ceramic carrier and the conveyor belt during the testing process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A ceramic carrier coating inspection device includes a support frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the support frame, and an inspection unit mounted on the support frame. The inspection unit includes two side plates mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt, a top plate mounted on the upper end of the two side plates, and a visual inspection instrument mounted on the top plate. It also includes a base placed on the conveyor belt for supporting the ceramic carrier, a mounting plate mounted on the side end of the base and parallel to the side plates, a hook rod mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate, a fixing structure slidably connected to the side plates for engaging with the hook rod, and a driving structure mounted on the side plates for moving the fixing structure.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing structure includes a fixing block, which is disposed on the fixing block and has an opening opposite to the transport direction of the conveyor belt and is used to insert the clamp of the hook rod; the driving structure includes an inclined cylinder, which is disposed on the cylinder output end and connected to the end of the fixing block away from the clamp.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this invention, the fixed block is driven by the cylinder to have an initial state and a working state; in the initial state, the fixed block is located near the end of the side plate and has a first height; in the working state, the fixed block is located at the lower end of the vision inspection instrument and has a second height; the first height is less than the second height.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing block and the driving block are connected by a hinge; the fixing structure also includes a limiting rod disposed on the surface of the fixing block near the side plate, and a limiting slide rail disposed on the surface of the side plate and matching the limiting rod; the extending direction of the limiting slide rail matches the driving stroke of the cylinder.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing structure further includes an enlarged slot disposed at the end of the limiting slide near the cylinder; the limiting rod is rotatable within the enlarged slot with the hinge as its rotation center.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing structure further includes a vertical rod disposed at the upper end of the fixing block, and a positioning rod disposed vertically on the surface of the side plate and located at the upper end of the enlarged slot for abutting the vertical rod.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the side wall of the mounting plate near the side plate, and the hanging rod is disposed on the surface of the adjustment plate near the side plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention, through the cooperation of a detection unit, a base, a fixing structure, and a driving structure, enables the separation of the ceramic carrier from the conveyor belt during detection, eliminating friction between the ceramic carrier and the running conveyor belt during the detection process and avoiding the problem of wear on the bottom of the ceramic carrier.

[0018] This invention optimizes the structure, eliminating the need for frequent start-stop operations of the conveyor belt and enabling continuous assembly line operation, thus greatly improving work efficiency.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] As attached Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a ceramic carrier coating inspection device, which mainly includes a support 1, a conveyor belt 2, an inspection unit 3, a vision inspection instrument 4, a base 5, a fixing structure 6, and a driving structure 7.

[0033] The support frame 1 serves as the structural support for the entire equipment. It is constructed from welded steel profiles and possesses sufficient strength and rigidity. The conveyor belt 2, mounted on the support frame 1 and driven by a motor, is used to transport the base 5, which carries the ceramic carrier a. The conveyor belt 2 is made of a material with a moderate coefficient of friction, ensuring stable transport of the base 5 while allowing relative sliding between the base 5 and the conveyor belt 2 during the operation of the fixed structure 6.

[0034] The detection unit 3 is mounted on the support 1 and includes two side plates 31 and a top plate 32. The two side plates 31 are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2 and are parallel to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 2. The top plate 32 connects the upper ends of the two side plates 31 to form a gate-like structure. The vision inspection instrument 4 is mounted on the top plate 32, facing the inspection station below.

[0035] The visual inspection instrument 4 is a commonly used inspection instrument in this field, so its structure and configuration will not be described in detail. The visual inspection instrument 4 can measure the pixel size of each channel to determine whether it is within the allowable tolerance range; it can identify whether there are blockages by analyzing the light transmittance of the channel (under backlight) or the internal image (under front light); it can measure whether the wall thickness between adjacent channels is uniform and meets the standard; it can check whether the channel is a regular square, hexagon, etc., and identify whether there are deformation defects such as crushing and collapse.

[0036] The base 5 is placed on the conveyor belt 2 to support the ceramic carrier a. Mounting plates 51 are provided at both ends of the base 5, parallel to the side plates 31. Hanging rods 52 are provided at the upper ends of the mounting plates 51 for connecting with the fixing structure 6. Furthermore, there are two mounting plates 51, symmetrically arranged on both ends of the base 5 near the side plates 31, and there should also be two fixing structures 6, symmetrically arranged on the two side plates 31. Further, to fix the ceramic carrier a, at least two clamping plates 54 for fixing the ceramic carrier a are provided on the ends of the base 5 opposite to where the mounting plates 51 are located; alternatively, grooves for embedding the bottom of the ceramic carrier a can be provided on the upper surface of the base 5.

[0037] The fixing structure 6 is slidably connected to the side plate 31 and includes a fixing block 61. The fixing block 61 has a clamping opening 62, the opening direction of which is opposite to the transport direction of the conveyor belt 2, for inserting the hook rod 52. The driving structure 7 is disposed on the side plate 31 and is used to drive the fixing structure 6 to move. The driving structure 7 includes an inclined cylinder 71 and a driving block 72. The output end of the cylinder 71 is connected to the driving block 72, and the driving block 72 is connected to the end of the fixing block 61 away from the clamping opening 62.

[0038] Driven by cylinder 71, the fixed block 61 has two working states: initial state and working state.

[0039] In the initial state, the fixing block 61 is near the end of the side plate 31, and is at its first height position. This position is lower than the working height, facilitating the smooth entry of the base 5 into the inspection area along with the conveyor belt 2. The hanging rod 52 on the mounting plate 51 can dock with the fixing structure 6. After the rod 52 docks with the fixing structure 6, the cylinder 71 starts working, pushing the drive block 72 upward. Since the cylinder 71 is tilted, the movement trajectory of the drive block 72 is a straight line motion diagonally upward. The drive block 72 pushes the fixing block 61 to slide upward along the side plate 31, and the height of the fixing block 61 gradually increases. In the working state, the fixing block 61 moves directly below the vision inspection instrument 4, and is at its second height position (the second height is greater than the first height). At the second height, the ceramic carrier a can be suspended above the conveyor belt 2, ensuring that the bottom of the ceramic carrier a will not wear out in the static state of the inspection.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, this embodiment describes in detail the guiding mechanism of the fixed structure 6 and the resetting mechanism of the ceramic carrier.

[0042] As attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the fixing block 61 and the driving block 72 are connected by a hinge; the fixing structure 6 also includes a limiting rod 63 disposed on the surface of the fixing block 61 near the side plate 31, a limiting slide 64 disposed on the surface of the side plate 31 and matching the limiting rod 63, and an enlarged slot 65 disposed at the end of the limiting slide 64 near the cylinder 71; the extending direction of the limiting slide 64 matches the driving stroke of the cylinder 71; the limiting rod 63 rotates around the hinge and can rotate within the enlarged slot 65.

[0043] The sliding trajectory of the limiting rod 63 is restricted by the limiting slide rail 64, ensuring that the fixed block 61 will not rotate during the process from the initial state to the working state, thus ensuring the stability of the movement of the ceramic carrier a. After the test is completed, the cylinder 71 can continue to drive the fixed block 61 to move, causing the limiting rod 63 to enter the enlarged slot 65. At this time, since the enlarged slot 65 has no limiting effect on the limiting rod 63, the fixed block 61 rotates downward under the action of gravity, which causes the opening direction of the clamp 62 to gradually rotate towards the surface of the conveyor belt 2. The hook rod 52 falls off from the clamp 62, thereby causing the fixing effect of the fixed block 61 on the base 5 to fail. The base 5 falls back onto the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and continues to move under the conveyor belt 2.

[0044] It is worth noting that at the second height, the base 5 will not detach too far from the conveyor belt 2, so the impact force of the base 5 falling is insufficient to damage the ceramic carrier a. Of course, structures such as a buffer layer or buffer springs on the base 5 can be used to further reduce the impact force of the fall. These are all conventional settings in the field, so they will not be elaborated further.

[0045] As a further preferred embodiment, the fixing structure 6 also includes a vertical rod 66 disposed on the upper end of the fixing block 61, and a positioning rod 67 vertically disposed on the surface of the side plate 31 and located at the upper end of the enlarged slot 65 to abut against the vertical rod 66. The positioning rod 67 is used to act on the fixing block after the work is completed when the fixing block 61 is in the working state at its rear end. Driven by the cylinder 71, the fixing block 61 moves further in a straight line. At this time, the limiting rod 63 enters into the enlarged slot 65, and the positioning rod 67 begins to abut against the vertical rod 66, thereby driving the fixing block 61 to rotate, which is used to supplement the force to avoid the situation where the gravity is insufficient to make the fixing block 61 rotate.

[0046] As a further preferred embodiment, an adjusting plate 53 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the side wall of the mounting plate 51 near the side plate 31, and a hanging rod 52 is disposed on the surface of the adjusting plate 53 near the side plate 31. The adjusting plate 53 is parallel to the mounting plate 51, so that the mounting plate 51 has the function of gravity adaptation adjustment under the trajectory of inclined movement, ensuring that the ceramic carrier a always remains perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0047] It is understood that the detection unit 3 of this application can also be provided with a structure for shading light. This structure can refer to the content disclosed in the document with authorization announcement number CN221124285U. The specific way of applying it to this embodiment is to slide two baffles on the top plate 32 on both sides of the two side plates 31. The baffles are driven to rise and fall by an additional power structure. During detection, the two baffles and the two side plates 31 enclose a sealed space to eliminate the interference of ambient light. During transportation, the baffles rise to avoid affecting the transportation of the ceramic carrier a.

Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
