Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts inspection technology, and in particular to a heat shield integrated visual inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] The turbocharger heat shield is a critical protective component for automotive turbochargers. Its structural stability and assembly accuracy directly affect the turbocharger's performance. Turbocharger heat shield products require the attachment of various accessories such as clips, nuts, rivets, and brackets. Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the installation position, orientation and integrity of accessories are subject to extremely high requirements. Loss, reverse installation or incorrect installation of accessories will lead to assembly failure and even safety hazards. Therefore, it is currently necessary to use technical means to effectively detect the installation of many parts.

[0003] Currently, the control method for conventional turbocharger heat shields in China is to visually inspect the assembly status of sub-components. Manual final inspection relies on visual judgment, which is prone to problems such as reversed or missing accessories due to fatigue and negligence. Furthermore, it cannot achieve 100% full inspection, posing a quality risk. Therefore, photographic equipment is needed for error prevention inspection. Obviously, manual final inspection relies on visual judgment, which has insufficient error prevention capabilities and is prone to problems such as reversed or missing accessories due to fatigue and negligence, posing a quality risk.

[0004] The conventional production process for turbocharger heat shields is as follows: heat shield stamping → accessory riveting → photographing and inspecting sub-parts → laser marking QR codes → QR code scanning → pressing status code marking → shipment. This process has the following defects:

[0005] Low production efficiency: Traditional processes require multiple workstations such as visual inspection, laser marking, barcode scanning, and status code stamping. Products need to be manually transferred between workstations, which not only occupies a lot of space and increases the number of operators, but also extends the production cycle due to handling and waiting during the transfer process.

[0006] There are many potential quality risks: During the multi-station turnover process, products are prone to secondary damage such as deformation and scratches due to collisions and friction. In addition, the equipment at each station operates independently, and information from inspection, coding, and labeling cannot be linked, making it difficult to achieve full-process quality monitoring.

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to design an integrated device that combines detection, coding, labeling, and traceability functions to improve production efficiency, reduce quality risks, and save costs. Utility Model Content

[0008] This invention aims to address the technical problem of the lack of integrated inspection equipment for turbocharger heat shields in existing technologies. It addresses issues such as insufficient error prevention capabilities, poor traceability, low production efficiency, and numerous quality risks in the production of turbocharger heat shields by providing an automated device that integrates visual inspection, laser marking, status code stamping, and barcode scanning traceability. This device achieves integrated processing throughout the entire process, improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A heat shield integrated visual inspection device, comprising:

[0011] The frame consists of crossbeams and longitudinal beams connected to form a square frame, and the interior of the frame forms a detection space.

[0012] The front side of the frame has an open opening, and mounting beams are arranged on the crossbeams and longitudinal beams. Visual inspection equipment and alarm equipment are mounted on the mounting beams.

[0030] Preferably, it further includes:

[0031] Longitudinal column;

[0032] The longitudinal column is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame, and a QR code scanning lens is connected to the longitudinal column.

[0039] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. Significantly improved error prevention capability: The camera performs 100% inspection of the installation position, orientation, and integrity of workpiece accessories through a visual inspection lens, replacing manual inspection and avoiding missed or incorrect inspections due to fatigue or negligence. At the same time, an alarm is triggered in real time and the conveying is stopped to ensure that unqualified products do not flow into the next stage, achieving "100-piece error prevention before leaving the factory".

[0041] 2. Enhanced traceability: Laser marking creates a unique QR code on the workpiece surface, containing information such as product batch and production time. Combined with a scanning unit, the QR code is associated with and stored with the inspection image and status code, enabling full lifecycle traceability of the product. In case of quality problems, the cause can be quickly located.

[0042] 3. Significantly improved production efficiency: The integrated processing module combines visual inspection, laser marking, status code stamping, and barcode scanning functions into one, eliminating the need for multiple independent workstations and reducing space occupation; at the same time, the conveyor mechanism automatically turns over workpieces, replacing manual handling, saving the number of operators and shortening the production cycle;

[0043] 4. Improved quality stability: Integrated processing reduces the number of times workpieces are turned over between multiple workstations, reducing the risk of secondary damage caused by handling and collisions; and the control system links information from each unit to achieve full-process quality monitoring, making it easier to detect and resolve problems in the processing in a timely manner.

[0044] 5. Costs are significantly reduced. Integrated design saves on site, equipment, labor and turnover costs. At the same time, the reduction in quality problems reduces rework and scrap losses, resulting in significant overall economic benefits.

[0045] 6. Strong functional scalability: The control system can be upgraded with software to add data statistics and analysis functions (such as production qualification rate, equipment failure rate, etc.), which facilitates production management; QR code information can be integrated with the enterprise's MES system to realize intelligent production traceability.

[0046] 7. Strong functional expandability: By changing the tooling and adjusting the program, multiple products can be universally tested using only one device. Attached Figure Description

[0096] Status code stamping assembly 500, the status code stamping assembly 500 is arranged on one side of the workpiece fixture 100;

[0097] The status code stamping assembly 500 includes:

The output end of the stamping cylinder 502 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and connected to a status code stamping header 501. The status code stamping assembly is electrically connected to the control system and includes a stamping cylinder and a status code stamping header 501. The status code stamping header has character status codes 1-9 corresponding to the product status. The stamping unit is used to stamp status codes at preset positions on the workpiece surface according to the instructions of the control system after laser marking is completed, so as to intuitively identify the product status.

[0099] The control system (terminal equipment) uses a PLC controller or industrial computer and is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism, integrated processing module, and alarm module. The control system is used to receive the detection results of the vision inspection unit and the QR code information of the barcode scanning unit, control the start and stop of the laser marking unit and the stamping unit, and adjust the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism. At the same time, the control system has a built-in storage module to store data such as the detection image of the workpiece, QR code information, status code information, and processing time, which can be displayed in real time through an external display screen.

[0100] Technical requirements for the integrated visual inspection equipment in this heat insulation cover:

[0101] This equipment can detect the presence or absence of relevant detection points on the heat insulation cover (as shown in the attached document). Figure 8 , 9 As shown in the figure), the current detection status is displayed on the display 900. When the detection is qualified, a status code is automatically marked. When the detection is unqualified, an audible and visual alarm is triggered (manual intervention is required to manually press the button to cancel the alarm and check the workpiece).

[0102] The visual inspection equipment integrated into this heat shield can perform the following visual inspection items:

[0103] Please see the appendix Figure 8 , 9 As shown:

[0104] Second detection position 2, to check for the presence or absence of rivets; The seventh inspection point 7 checks for the presence or absence of rivets; The third detection position 3 checks for the presence or absence of clips; The eighth inspection point, 8, checks for the presence of welded nuts (by thread inspection); The fourth inspection point 4 checks for the presence or absence of rivets; The ninth detection position 9 checks for the presence or absence of a support bracket; The fifth detection position 5 is used to check the presence and orientation of the support bracket. The tenth detection position 10 checks for the presence or absence of a support bracket; The eleventh inspection point 11 checks for the presence or absence of a support;

[0107] The workflow steps of the integrated visual inspection equipment for this heat insulation cover are as follows:

[0108] Step S1: The workpiece to be processed is conveyed to the processing area of ​​the integrated processing module by the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism stops and the workpiece is fixed by the workpiece fixture 100.

[0109] Step S2: Visual inspection (photographic visual inspection lens 700) is started to acquire images of the workpiece surface accessories. The image recognition algorithm is used to detect whether the accessories are missing or installed backwards, and the detection results are sent to the control system.

[0110] Step S3: If the inspection is qualified, the control system instructs the laser marking (QR code scanning lens 400) to start, and a unique QR code is engraved at a preset position on the workpiece surface; if the inspection is unqualified, the control system triggers the alarm module, and manual handling is required.

[0111] Step S4: After the laser marking is completed, the vision detection unit collects the QR code image again, the scanning unit recognizes the QR code information (such as batch and time), and sends it to the control system.

[0112] Step S5: If the QR code recognition is successful, the control system instructs the stamping unit to start and stamp a "qualified" status code at a preset position on the workpiece surface; if the QR code recognition fails, the alarm module is activated and manual handling is required.

[0113] Step S6: After the status code stamping is completed, the vision inspection unit acquires the status code image, associates it with the QR code information and the accessory detection image, and stores it in the control system.

[0114] Step S7: Once all processes are completed, the conveying mechanism is activated to transport the workpiece to the next stage, and the equipment enters the next work cycle.

[0115] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
