[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0033] Furthermore, where the term "and / or" appears, "and / or" merely describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. Where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0037] See Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a conveying device 100 for conveying and inspecting a strip 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the strip 200 is a metal stamping strip. After being stamped by a stamping machine, it needs to pass through various inspection devices sequentially via the conveying device 100 to inspect the stamping effect, ensure product qualification rate, and finally be conveyed to the receiving machine.

[0038] In some embodiments, the conveying device 100 includes a slide assembly 110 and a power assembly 120, wherein the slide assembly 110 is used to limit the conveying direction of the material belt 200, and the power assembly 120 is able to pull the material belt 200 to move and limit the upward displacement of the material belt 200, thereby ensuring the stable conveying of the material belt 200.

[0039] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the slide assembly 110 has an input end 111, an output end 112, and two opposing slide grooves 113. The material belt 200 passes through the input end 111 and is routed through the slide grooves 113. The power assembly 120 is located at the output end 112. The power assembly 120 includes a drive member 121, a pressure roller 122, and a traction roller 123. The drive member 121 is connected to the traction roller 123, and the pressure roller 122 and the traction roller 123 are arranged opposite each other along the direction of gravity. The traction roller 123 has multiple protrusions on its circumference, and the protrusions are engaged with positioning grooves on the material belt 200.

[0040] Specifically, two chutes 113 are provided and arranged opposite to each other. The two chutes 113 extend along the direction from the input end 111 to the output end 112. The two sides of the material belt 200 are respectively inserted into the two chutes 113, thereby enabling it to move along the defined direction of the chutes 113. The driving member 121 can be a rotary motor, which drives the traction wheel 123 to rotate after being connected to it. The pressure wheel 122 is arranged opposite to the traction wheel 123 above it, and the material belt 200 passes between the pressure wheel 122 and the traction wheel 123. Of course, in other embodiments, the traction wheel 123 can also be arranged above the pressure wheel 122, which is not specifically limited here.

[0041] After the material belt 200 is stamped, it can be manually threaded into the chute 113, with the end of the material belt 200 positioned between the pressure roller 122 and the traction roller 123. Since the material belt 200 has equidistantly spaced positioning grooves on its sides, and the traction roller 123 has equidistantly spaced protrusions on its circumferential surface, each protrusion can engage with a positioning groove during the rotation of the traction roller 123. The material belt 200 moves towards the conveying end through the selection of the traction roller 123. However, the material belt 200 is relatively long and tends to tilt upwards, thus deviating from the chute 113. Therefore, this application positions the pressure roller 122 above the traction roller 123 to limit the upward deviation of the material belt 200 and ensure stable conveying of the material belt 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the slide assembly 110 includes a base plate 114 and two limiting plates 115, which are mounted opposite to each other on the base plate 114 and are spaced apart. The limiting plates 115 and the base plate 114 define a slide groove 113.

[0043] Understandably, the groove 113 can be formed on the limiting plate 115, or it can be disposed between the limiting groove and the base plate 114. For example, if only an L-shaped notch is formed on the side of the base plate 114, then after the planar limiting plate 115 is installed on the base plate 114, it forms a U-shaped groove 113 with the base plate 114. Of course, in other embodiments, the notch can also be disposed on the groove 113, and the base plate 114 can be disposed as a planar structure; no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] For example, two limiting plates 115 are installed at intervals on the base plate 114, so that after the two ends of the material belt 200 pass through the two sliding grooves 113, the middle part of the material belt 200 is exposed. When the conveying device 100 is applied to the stamping part inspection equipment 1000, the inspection devices located on the upper and lower sides of the material belt 200 can obtain the surface information of the exposed material belt 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the conveying device 100 further includes a correction component 130, which abuts against the material belt 200 in the direction of gravity.

[0046] For example, the correction component 130 is mounted above the base plate 114, so that when the conveyor belt 200 travels through the chute 113, the correction component 130 can press against the top surface of the conveyor belt 200. By setting the correction component 130, different parts of the long conveyor belt 200 cannot shift upwards, avoiding the problem of the rear end of the conveyor belt 200 tilting up under the clamping of the pressure roller 122 and the traction roller 123, so as to maintain a stable speed moving towards the output end 112.

[0047] Continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the correction assembly 130 includes a plurality of correction wheels 132, each correction wheel 132 being distributed opposite to each other on both sides of the material belt 200, and the correction wheels 132 abutting against the material belt 200.

[0048] For example, the guide rollers 132 are installed in the middle of the limiting plate 115 and are distributed in pairs on both sides of the conveyor belt 200. The guide rollers 132 are installed inside the fixing block, and an adjusting bolt is provided above the fixing block. One end of the adjusting bolt passes through the fixing block and is connected to the guide roller 132. The tension of the guide rollers 132 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolts to reasonably limit the conveyor belt 200, prevent the conveyor belt 200 from tilting upwards, and at the same time meet the conveying requirements of the conveyor belt 200, and prevent the conveyor belt 200 from locking due to excessive tightness of the guide rollers 132.

[0049] Furthermore, a spring can be installed between the adjusting bolt and the straightening wheel 132 to buffer the vibration of the straightening wheel 132 during the conveying process of the conveyor belt 200.

[0050] In some embodiments, the correction assembly 130 further includes two correction blocks 131, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the conveyor belt 200, and the correction blocks 131 are located at the end of the slide assembly 110 away from the power assembly 120.

[0051] For example, a fixing block is provided on both sides of the input end 111 of the slide assembly 110. Each fixing block is equipped with a correction block 131. The distance between the correction block 131 and the material belt 200 is adjusted by bolts so that when manually feeding, the material belt 200 passes under the correction block 131 and enters the slide 113, ensuring accurate feeding of the material belt 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the power assembly 120 further includes a bracket 124, an adjusting member 125, and an elastic member 126. One end of the adjusting member 125 passes through the bracket 124 and is connected to the pressure roller 122. The elastic member 126 is disposed on the outside of the adjusting member 125, and both ends of the elastic member 126 abut against the bracket 124 and the pressure roller 122, respectively.

[0053] For example, two brackets 124 are provided and are positioned opposite each other at the output end 112 of the slide assembly 110. Each bracket 124 is equipped with a pressure roller 122, and a corresponding traction roller 123 is provided below each pressure roller 122, so that the two sides of the material belt 200 are driven by the two traction rollers 123 respectively. A drive member 121 is installed on one side of the bracket 124 and is connected to the traction roller 123 for transmission, so as to drive the traction roller 123 to rotate. The adjusting member 125 can be a pin, which passes through the bracket 124 and is connected to the pressure roller 122. The elastic member 126 can be a spring, which is disposed between the bracket 124 and the pressure roller 122. In this way, during the conveying process of the material belt 200, the pressure roller 122 can vibrate slightly with the movement of the material belt 200, and the vibration force is absorbed by the elastic member 126 to ensure the stable conveying of the material belt 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the conveying device 100 further includes two guide plates 140, which are respectively disposed at the input end 111 and the output end 112.

[0055] For example, the guide plate 140 has a downward-facing, fully arc-shaped structure, so as not to block the input and output of the material belt 200, and to support the material belt 200 at the input end 111 and the output end 112, thereby further ensuring the stable conveying of the material belt 200.

[0056] Continue reading Figure 6 As shown, embodiments of this application also provide a stamping part inspection device 1000, including the conveying device 100, the first inspection device 300, and the second inspection device 400 as described in any of the above embodiments. The first inspection device 300 and the second inspection device 400 are both disposed at the output end 112 of the slide assembly 110, and the first inspection device 300 and the second inspection device 400 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the material belt 200 along the direction of gravity.

[0057] For example, both the first detection device 300 and the second detection device 400 are CCD (charge-coupled device) cameras, and are positioned opposite each other on the upper and lower sides of the strip 200 to detect the upper and lower sides of the stamped part and obtain the stamping quality. The lens of the first detection device 300 is located vertically above the strip 200, and three second detection devices 400 are provided, facing the same point on the strip 200 from different directions, to accurately acquire image information of the stamped part. Simultaneously, this application exposes the stamped part by using two spaced limiting plates 115. Since the first detection device 300 and the second detection device 400 are located on the upper and lower sides of the strip 200 respectively, they can acquire surface information of the stamped part through the gap between the two limiting plates 115, improving the detection effect.

[0058] This embodiment includes the conveying device 100 of any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the conveying device 100 of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In some embodiments, the stamping part inspection equipment 1000 further includes a cleaning device 500, a coding device 600, and a scanning device 700, which are distributed sequentially along the direction from the input end 111 to the output end 112.

[0060] For example, the cleaning device 500 is connected to an air compressor system via an air connector. After the material belt 200 is loaded, the cleaning device 500 sprays air onto the material belt 200 to clean surface dirt. The coding device 600 is located downstream of the cleaning device 500 to form an identification code on each stamped part by laser coding after cleaning. The scanning device 700 is located downstream of the coding device 600 to scan and identify the stamped part as it passes by, thereby cooperating with the subsequent first detection device 300 and second detection device 400 to accurately obtain the detection results of each stamped part.

[0061] In some embodiments, the stamping part inspection device 1000 further includes a plurality of sensors 800, each sensor 800 being disposed at an input terminal 111 and an output terminal 112, and the sensors 800 being electrically connected to the first inspection device 300 and the second inspection device 400, respectively.

[0062] For example, sensor 800 can acquire the position information of material belt 200, thereby acquiring the feeding and unloading information of material belt 200, and send the signal to control component, control component sends detection operation instructions to each first detection device 300 and second detection device 400.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
