The progressive inspection and feeding mechanism sends the ball joint rods to the next adjustment station through the progressive drive component, realizing progressive feeding of multiple ball joint rods. During this process, the two support rollers of each adjustment station of the feeding support component rotate synchronously using synchronous belt drive, so that the ball joint rods placed at the adjustment station rotate smoothly. This allows the linkage inspection mechanism to perform a more comprehensive visual inspection of the overall shape of the ball joint rods. This inspection equipment achieves efficient automatic inspection by orderly transferring the ball joint rods to each inspection station, without manual intervention, avoiding the impact of oil and dust on the inspection accuracy, and improving inspection efficiency.

The incoming material processing mechanism 1 includes an incoming material frame 11, an incoming material conveyor 12, an incoming material lifting mechanism 13, an incoming material degreasing mechanism 14, and an incoming material transfer mechanism 15, all mounted on the incoming material frame 11. The incoming material conveyor 12 is a plate conveyor. Several incoming material placement racks 1201 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the incoming material conveyor 12 on the working surface of the incoming material conveyor 12. The upper parts of both sides of the incoming material placement rack 1201 have V-shaped slots, which allow the tie rod workpieces to be placed horizontally on the incoming material placement rack 1201. The incoming material conveyor 12 receives the ball joint tie rod 9 and transports the ball joint tie rod 9 to the incoming material lifting mechanism 13 and the incoming material transfer mechanism 15 in sequence. The incoming material frame 11 is provided with a first sensing device 1101 relative to the incoming material lifting mechanism 13, and the incoming material frame 11 is provided with a second sensing device 1102 relative to the incoming material transfer mechanism 15. Both the first sensing device 1101 and the second sensing device 1102 are used to sense the ball joint rod 9 on the corresponding incoming material placement rack 1201. Both the first sensing device 1101 and the second sensing device 1102 can be through-beam sensors to realize that the ball joint rod 9 stops at fixed points at the incoming material lifting mechanism 13 and the incoming material transfer mechanism 15, respectively.

[0036] The material receiving frame 11 is covered with a material receiving protective cover 1103. The material receiving lifting mechanism 13, the material receiving degreasing mechanism 14, and the material receiving transfer mechanism 15 are all located inside the material receiving protective cover 1103. The material receiving lifting mechanism 13 includes a material receiving lifting device 131, a clamping mounting plate 132, two clamping frames 133 arranged opposite to each other on the clamping mounting plate 132, two opening and closing translation devices 134, two clamping parts 135, and two docking rotation devices 136. The material receiving lifting device 131 is set on the inner wall of the material receiving protective cover 1103 to drive the clamping. The mounting plate 132 moves up and down. The material lifting device 131 is a telescopic cylinder or an electric slide. The opening and closing translation device 134 is set on the clamping mounting plate 132 to drive the corresponding clamping frame 133 to move horizontally. The opening and closing translation device 134 is a telescopic cylinder or an electric slide. The docking rotation device 136 is set on the clamping frame 133 to drive the corresponding clamping member 135 to rotate. The docking rotation device 136 is a rotary motor. The clamping member 135 is pivotally connected to the clamping frame 133. The docking rotation device 136 and the clamping member 135 are offset from each other. The docking rotation device 136 and the clamping member 135 are connected by a fourth synchronous belt 1301. The rotating shaft of the docking rotation device 136 and the pivot shaft of the clamping member 135 are located on the same side and both include docking synchronous belt pulleys 1302 for the fourth synchronous belt to engage. Preferably, the two docking rotation devices 136 are located on one side of the clamping mounting plate 132. One docking rotation device 136 is connected to the clamping member 135 on the same side by a fourth synchronous belt 1301, and the other docking rotation device 136 is connected to the clamping member 135 on the other side. The two clamping and mounting frames are connected by a fourth synchronous belt 1301, and the shaft of another docking rotating device 136 is sleeved and slidably engaged with the clamping frame 133 on the other side, thereby guiding the clamping and mounting frame on the other side to move horizontally. The two opening and closing translation devices 134 respectively control the two clamping frames 133 to move horizontally along the length direction of the clamping and mounting plate 132, so that the two clamping parts 135 cooperate with each other to clamp the ball head tie rod 9. The material lifting mechanism 13 is used to clamp the ball head tie rod 9 and lift the ball head tie rod 9 to the material degreasing mechanism 14 or lower it to the material conveyor 12.

[0037] The incoming material degreasing mechanism 14 includes a degreasing mounting frame 141 and an air blowing device 142 disposed on the degreasing mounting frame 141. The air blowing device 142 is located above the incoming material conveyor 12. The air blowing device 142 is an air blowing nozzle. The air blowing side of the air blowing device 142 extends along the width direction of the incoming material conveyor 12 so that an air curtain is formed on the air blowing side of the air blowing device 142.

[0038] When the incoming material conveyor 12 delivers the ball-head tie rod 9 to the incoming material lifting mechanism 13, the first sensing device 1101 senses the ball-head tie rod 9 on the incoming material placement rack 1201, the incoming material conveyor 12 stops, and the incoming material lifting device 131 drives the clamping mounting plate 132 to move downward. The two opening translation devices cooperate to adjust the distance between the two clamping frames 133, so that the two clamping pieces 135 are located at the two ends of the corresponding ball-head tie rod 9 and clamp the ball-head tie rod 9. After that, the incoming material lifting mechanism... Device 131 drives the clamping mounting plate 132 to move upward, so that the height position of the ball joint rod 9 corresponds to the air blowing side of the air blowing device 142. The incoming material degreasing mechanism 14 blows air to remove oil from the ball joint rod 9 held by the two clamping members 135 through the air blowing device 142. During this process, the two docking rotating devices 136 rotate synchronously, so that the two clamping members 135 drive the ball joint rod 9 to rotate, so that the air blowing device 142 can more comprehensively blow air to remove oil from the outer surface of the ball joint rod 9. The incoming material degreasing mechanism 14 effectively removes oil and dust from the surface of the ball joint rod 9 by blowing air, completing the cleaning treatment of the ball joint rod 9 before inspection and ensuring the accuracy of visual inspection. Preferably, the receiving frame 11 is also equipped with an oil collection device 16 corresponding to the receiving oil removal mechanism 14. The oil collection device 16 includes an oil collection bin 161, a cleaning roller 162 driven by a rotary motor, and a squeezing roller 163. The cleaning roller 162 is covered with a sponge layer. The cleaning roller 162 abuts against the ball joint rod 9 in the air blowing oil removal process to adsorb the oil stains blown off the ball joint rod 9. The cleaning roller 162 and the squeezing roller 163 cooperate with each other to squeeze out the oil stains and collect them in the oil collection bin 161 and discharge them for recycling. After the ball joint rod 9 has completed the cleaning process, the receiving lifting mechanism 13 puts the ball joint rod 9 back onto the receiving placement rack 1201 of the receiving conveyor 12. The first sensing device 1101 senses the ball joint rod 9 on the receiving placement rack 1201 again, and the receiving conveyor 12 starts to transport the ball joint rod 9 to the receiving transfer mechanism 15.

The transfer lifting device 153 is mounted on the translation end of the transfer translation device 152 to drive the transfer clamping device 154 to move up and down. The transfer lifting device 153 is a telescopic cylinder or an electric slide. The transfer clamping device 154 is used to clamp the ball joint rod 9 on the material receiving conveyor 12. The transfer clamping device 154 is a pneumatic gripper.

[0040] When the incoming material conveyor 12 delivers the ball-head pull rod 9 to the incoming material transfer mechanism 15, the second sensing device 1102 senses the ball-head pull rod 9 on the incoming material placement rack 1201, the incoming material conveyor 12 stops, and the transfer translation device 152 and the transfer lifting device 153 cooperate to adjust the position of the transfer clamping device 154, thereby transferring the cleaned ball-head pull rod 9 to the progressive detection feeding mechanism 2 for different types of visual inspection. During this process, after the second sensing device 1102 senses that the corresponding ball-head pull rod 9 on the incoming material placement rack 1201 has been removed, the incoming material conveyor 12 starts to send the next ball-head pull rod 9 to the incoming material transfer mechanism 15.

The support frames 301 are V-shaped and are used to support the end of the ball joint rod 9. The corresponding two support frames 301 cooperate with each other to horizontally support the ball joint rod 9.

[0048] When the progressive drive assembly 3 is in use, the two stroke translation devices 32 extend and retract synchronously, causing the two stroke plates 31 to move forward or backward synchronously along the length of the support plate 224, thereby synchronously adjusting the position of the two support frames 301. This continues until the corresponding two support frames 301 are positioned between the corresponding two adjustment tables 202, below the two ends of the ball joint rod 9 at the corresponding adjustment position. Then, the two progressive lifting devices 34 move upward or downward synchronously, causing the two progressive plates 33 to rise and fall synchronously. This continues until the corresponding two support frames 301 support the corresponding ball joint rod 9 and lift it to a position away from the adjustment position. At this point, the two stroke translation devices 32 extend and retract synchronously, causing the two stroke plates 31 to move forward or backward synchronously along the length of the support plate 224, thus sending the ball joint rod 9 to the next adjustment position. Afterward, the two progressive lifting devices 34 move downward synchronously, causing the two progressive plates 33 to descend synchronously, thereby disengaging the corresponding two support frames 301 from the corresponding ball joint rod 9 and avoiding interference with the rotation of the ball joint rod 9 at the adjustment position.

[0049] The linkage inspection mechanism 25 includes a linkage inspection frame 251, a linkage visual inspection device 252 mounted on the linkage inspection frame 251, and a linkage lighting device 253. The linkage to be inspected is positioned on the inspection frame 21 relative to the adjustment station. The inspection end of the linkage visual inspection device 252 and the illumination side of the linkage lighting device 253 are offset and both face the body 91 of the ball joint rod 9. The linkage visual inspection device 252 is an inspection camera, and the linkage lighting device 253 is a light. The linkage inspection mechanism 25 performs visual inspection on the appearance of the ball joint rod 9 at the adjustment station. The two linkage inspection mechanisms 25 complete the initial and re-inspection of the appearance of the ball joint rod 9, preventing defective products from being shipped out.

[0050] refer to Figures 1 to 12 The testing equipment transports the ball joint rod 9 through the incoming material handling mechanism 1, blows off the oil, and then sends it to the progressive testing feeding mechanism 2. The progressive testing feeding mechanism 2 sends the ball joint rod 9 to the next adjustment station through the progressive drive component 3, realizing the progressive feeding of multiple ball joint rods 9. During this process, the two support rollers 204 of each adjustment station of the feeding support component 22 rotate synchronously using synchronous belt drive, so that the ball joint rod 9 placed on the adjustment station rotates smoothly. This allows the connecting rod testing mechanism 25 to perform a more comprehensive visual inspection of the overall shape of the ball joint rod 9. The testing equipment achieves efficient automatic testing by orderly transferring the ball joint rod 9 to each testing station, without the need for manual intervention, avoiding the impact of oil and dust on the testing accuracy, and improving testing efficiency.

[0051] Preferably, the testing frame 21 is equipped with a controller 2102. The incoming material conveyor 12, the incoming material lifting mechanism 13, the incoming material degreasing mechanism 14, the incoming material transfer mechanism 15, the feeding support assembly 22, the progressive drive assembly 3, the rod end detection mechanism 23, the rod body 91 detection mechanism 24, the connecting rod detection mechanism 25, the first sensing device 1101 and the second sensing device 1102 are all connected to and controlled by the controller 2102.

[0052] Preferably, the testing frame 21 is also provided with a discharge mounting frame 4, and the discharge mounting frame 4 is also provided with two parallel and oppositely arranged discharge translation devices 401. The discharge translation device 401 can be a telescopic cylinder or an electric slide table. The translation end of the discharge translation device 401 is provided with a discharge lifting device 402. The discharge lifting device 402 can be a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod. The lifting end of the discharge lifting device 402 is provided with a discharge clamping device 403 for clamping the ball head pull rod 9. The discharge clamping device 403 is a pneumatic gripper.

[0053] The inspection frame 21 is equipped with a good product discharge mechanism 5 and a defective product discharge mechanism 6 on both sides. The infeed sides of the two discharge translation devices 401 are located on the inspection frame 21. The inspection frame 21 is covered with an inspection protective shell, which is partially through-holes of the good product discharge mechanism 5 and the defective product discharge mechanism 6, so that the discharge sides of the two discharge translation devices 401 extend above the good product discharge mechanism 5 and the defective product discharge mechanism 6, respectively. The good product discharge mechanism 5 is... The roller conveyor has a receiving box 7 for placing several ball-head pull rods 9 on the working surface of the good product discharge mechanism 5 and the working surface of the defective product discharge mechanism 6. The defective product discharge mechanism 6 is equipped with an electric slide table, and the translation end of the electric slide table is equipped with a movable plate. The movable plate is the working surface of the defective product discharge mechanism 6. The discharge translation device 401 and the discharge lifting device 402 cooperate to move the ball-head pull rods 9 on the adjustment position to the corresponding receiving box 7 by the discharge clamping device 403.

[0054] Preferably, the good product discharge mechanism 5 is equipped with two spaced-apart lifting and blocking cylinders 8. The piston rod of the lifting and blocking cylinder 8 is equipped with a stop block 801. The space between the two stops 801 corresponds to the discharge translation device 401, and the space between the two stops 801 is adapted to the receiving box 7. When the lifting and blocking cylinder 8 rises, the stop block 801 passes through the gap between two adjacent rollers of the roller conveyor and is higher than the surface of the roller, so as to prevent the receiving box 7 from continuing to move. When the lifting and blocking cylinder 8 descends, the stop block 801 returns to its original position and is lower than the surface of the roller, and the receiving box 7 can continue to be conveyed.

[0055] Preferably, the defective product processing mechanism is provided with a defective product protective cover, which is partially through the discharge translation device 401.

[0056] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
