Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument panel component inspection technology, and more specifically, to a visual inspection device for instrument panel components. Background Technology

[0002] The secondary dashboard is the interior panel between the driver's and passenger's seats in a car, consisting of a main panel and left and right side panels. It serves to store items, house the gear shift lever, and also enhances the aesthetics of the car's interior by concealing internal wiring. The left and right side panels of the secondary dashboard are secured with plastic clips.

[0003] In production, the plastic clips in the sub-dashboard components play an important role. The plastic clips in the sub-dashboard components are the parts that fix the left and right side panels. By aligning the clips with the holes and pressing them in, the elasticity of the plastic can lock them in place, making them secure. The plastic clips are key small parts used to fix the side panels, and during production inspection, they are usually inspected manually.

[0004] In existing technologies, some sub-instrument components are inspected manually and marked. However, manual inspection requires checking each clip in the sub-instrument component one by one, which is time-consuming and wastes manpower. In addition, manual inspection is prone to omissions, which can lead to incomplete assembly in subsequent processes. It is impossible to quickly and accurately inspect sub-instrument components. A visual inspection device for sub-instrument components is proposed to solve the above problems, which can not only improve the effect and efficiency but also save labor costs.

[0025] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a visual inspection device for sub-dashboard components, including a base 1, a support frame 2, and a visual camera 3. Positioning blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the base 1. Multiple movable plates 6 are movably connected to the inner wall of the base 1. Extension plates 7 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple movable plates 6. Elastic element 10 and elastic element 3 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the movable plates 6. A clamping plate 9 is movably connected to the inner walls of the movable plates 6.

[0027] When inspecting workpieces, the visual camera 3, controller 4, and positioning block 5 work together to achieve rapid and automatic inspection of workpieces, which not only improves inspection efficiency and effect but also saves labor costs. At the same time, with the cooperation of the clamping plate 9 and the elastic element 13, the expansion plate 7 in the movable plate 6 can be used to inspect workpieces of different shapes, thus expanding the scope of use of the equipment.

[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate rapid inspection of the workpiece, a controller 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic element 10 away from the movable plate 6, an elastic element 2 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 8, a plurality of slots 15 are provided on the inner wall of the movable plate 6, the end of the card plate 9 away from the movable plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 8, the end of the elastic element 10 away from the movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate 8, the end of the connecting plate 8 away from the elastic element 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the extension plate 7, and the outside of the connecting plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 6.

[0029] By placing the left and right side panels of the S203 auxiliary instrument, i.e., the workpiece, within the area of ​​the four positioning blocks 5 above the base 1, and considering that the S203 auxiliary instrument has 37 plastic clips on its left and right side panels, manual inspection and marking are currently used. Each clip takes approximately 1 second, so 37 clips take 37 seconds. With a daily production target of 300 sets, the inspection time is 3.1 hours, resulting in significant manpower waste. Manual inspection is prone to omissions, leading to improper assembly in subsequent processes. Therefore, by placing the assembled product within the area of ​​the four positioning blocks 5 and pressing the controller 4, the equipment will make a judgment within 1 second. After the product inspection is passed, a date traceability code will be printed and then affixed to the product. Conversely, if the product inspection is NG (not working), no barcode will be printed, the NG location will be displayed on the image, and the employee will be notified of the NG location until the inspection is completed. The entire process takes no more than 5 seconds, thus achieving automatic detection of the workpiece. During this time, the vision camera 3 stores the image of the product to be detected, compares and checks the product with the original image, makes a judgment, and outputs it to the PLC. The PLC integrates the signal given by the vision camera 3 and then transmits the data to the printer. Subsequently, the product outputs a barcode printing instruction, and the printing content is transmitted to the printer through the HMI to realize the barcode required by the product. No data is output for NG products. Through this operation, the operator's workload is reduced, the original situation of incorrect or missing installations is reduced, and the operation time and labor costs are saved.

[0030] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the movement of the extension plate 7, the end of the elastic element 3 13 away from the movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to the locking post 12. The inner wall of the base 1 is provided with a limiting groove 14. The end of the elastic element 2 11 away from the movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking plate 9. The end of the locking plate 9 away from the connecting plate 8 is engaged with the inner wall of the locking groove 15. The end of the locking post 12 away from the elastic element 3 13 is engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove 14. The outside of the locking post 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 6. The end of the locking post 12 away from the movable plate 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the base 1.

[0031] When inspecting workpieces of different shapes, the movable plate 6 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the base 1. Then, the locking pin 12 is pulled to compress the elastic element 13. After reaching verticality, the locking pin 12 is released, and under the potential energy of the elastic element 13, the locking pin 12 is locked inside the limiting groove 14 in the base 1, thus locking the vertical state of the movable plate 6. Because workpieces have different shapes, such as arcs or bends, if placed in the base 1, the workpiece may become unstable and wobble during inspection, affecting the inspection results. Therefore, when inspecting workpieces, the workpiece is placed in the vertical movable plate 6, and the expansion plates 7 in each movable plate 6 can be adjusted... Adjustment allows the extension plate 7 to extend into the interior of the movable plate 6. By adjusting each adjustment, different workpiece shapes can be accommodated. This eliminates shaking during workpiece inspection, improving inspection accuracy and adapting to the inspection of various workpieces. When the extension plate 7 needs to be extended, it can be adjusted by pulling the clamping plate 9, which moves it upwards or downwards. When the clamping plate 9 is pulled, it compresses the elastic element 11, which then releases space, allowing the clamping plate 9 to disengage from the slot 15. This allows the extension plate 7 to move up and down. After the clamping plate 9 is released, it will lock into different positions within the slot 15.

[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] First, the left and right side panels of the S203 auxiliary instrument, i.e., the workpiece, are placed within the area of ​​the four positioning blocks 5 above the base 1. The left and right side panels of the S203 auxiliary instrument have 37 plastic clips. These are manually inspected and marked, taking approximately 1 second per clip, totaling 37 seconds. With a daily production target of 300 sets, the inspection time is 3.1 hours, resulting in significant manpower waste. Manual inspection is prone to omissions, leading to improper assembly in subsequent processes. Therefore, by placing the assembled product within the area of ​​the four positioning blocks 5 and pressing the controller 4, the equipment will make a judgment within 1 second. If the product passes inspection, a date traceability code will be printed and then affixed to the product. Conversely, if the product fails inspection, no barcode will be printed, the NG location will be displayed on the image, and the employee will be notified of the NG location until the inspection is complete. The entire process takes no more than 5 seconds, thus achieving automatic detection of the workpiece. During this time, the vision camera 3 stores the image of the product to be detected, compares and checks the product with the original image, makes a judgment, and outputs it to the PLC. The PLC integrates the signal from the vision camera 3 and then transmits the data to the printer. Subsequently, the product outputs a barcode printing instruction, and the printed content is transmitted to the printer through the HMI to realize the barcode required by the product. NG products do not output data. Through this operation, the operator's workload is reduced, the original situation of incorrect or missing parts is reduced, and the operation time and labor costs are saved. When it is necessary to detect workpieces of different shapes, the movable plate 6 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the base 1. Then, by pulling the locking pin 12, the elastic element 13 is squeezed. After it is vertical, the locking pin 12 is released, and under the action of the potential energy of the elastic element 13, the locking pin 12 is opened into the limiting groove 14 in the base 1, thus locking the vertical state of the movable plate 6. Due to the different shapes of the workpieces, such as arcs... When workpieces of various shapes, such as curved ones, are placed in the base 1, their shape can cause instability and wobbling during inspection, affecting the inspection results. Therefore, during inspection, the workpiece is placed in a vertical movable plate 6, and the extension plate 7 in each movable plate 6 can be adjusted to extend into the interior of the movable plate 6. By adjusting each one, different workpiece shapes can be accommodated, thus eliminating wobbling during inspection and improving the accuracy of the inspection. This also adapts to the inspection of different workpieces. When the extension plate 7 needs to be extended, it can be adjusted by pulling the clamping plate 9 and moving it up and down. When the clamping plate 9 is pulled, it compresses the elastic element 11, which then releases the space, allowing the clamping plate 9 to disengage from the slot 15. This allows the extension plate 7 to move up and down. After the clamping plate 9 is released, it will be locked in different positions inside the slot 15.
