Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of quality inspection devices, and in particular to a vertically adjustable intelligent quality inspection device for flexible manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] As global manufacturing accelerates its transformation towards intelligent and personalized production, traditional rigid production lines are increasingly revealing their limitations in handling multi-variety, small-batch customized production. Flexible manufacturing, as a core model of the next generation of intelligent manufacturing, is widely used due to its ability to quickly switch between multiple product models. However, in flexible manufacturing scenarios, traditional quality inspection equipment is mostly fixed in structure, typically relying on manual experience or a single inspection path, lacking dynamic adjustment and automated identification capabilities. This makes it difficult to adapt to complex and ever-changing inspection needs, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Quality inspection, as a crucial link in the manufacturing process, directly affects product qualification rate and corporate brand reputation. Existing quality inspection equipment is mostly custom-developed based on specific workpiece dimensions and structures, with relatively fixed structures and inspection procedures. When product specifications change, it typically requires prolonged downtime and manual mechanical adjustments and parameter resetting, resulting in low efficiency, large errors, and severely impacting a company's rapid response capabilities in flexible manufacturing models.

[0004] Furthermore, while some existing technologies incorporate visual inspection elements to enhance the intelligence of inspection, they mostly employ fixed camera and inspection head structures, which cannot flexibly cover all angles of the object being inspected. This is particularly problematic for the comprehensive inspection of complex structural products, where blind spots remain, leading to frequent missed detections and misjudgments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quality inspection device that is flexible in structure, precise in positioning, rapid in response, and highly intelligent, to meet the high demands of flexible manufacturing for the quality inspection of diverse products.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor has specifically designed a vertically adjustable intelligent quality inspection device for flexible manufacturing, which leads to this invention. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0022] This invention provides a vertically adjustable intelligent quality inspection device for flexible manufacturing. Its core concept lies in constructing a testing platform integrating rotation, lifting, lateral adjustment, and intelligent recognition to achieve efficient and automated quality inspection of products of different specifications, shapes, and models at multiple angles, heights, and positions. This device is particularly suitable for multi-variety, small-batch customized flexible production lines, effectively improving the response speed and accuracy of the quality inspection process.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a base assembly 1, a lifting assembly 2, a telescopic component 3, a drive module 4, and a data transmission module 5.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a base 11, a support plate 12, a first drive motor 13, and a rotating mechanism 14. The rotating mechanism 14 is mounted on the base 11, and the support plate 12 is disposed on the rotating mechanism 14. The first drive motor 13 is connected to the rotating mechanism 14 and is used to drive the support plate 12 to rotate relative to the base 11 about a vertical axis. Preferably, the rotating mechanism 14 includes components such as a rotating central shaft 141, a driven gear 142, a ball bearing 143, and a height compensation ring 144. The rotating central shaft 141 is rotatably engaged with the base 11 through an angular contact bearing 145 and is rigidly connected to the support plate 12 through a flange 146. The driven gear 142 is connected to the rotating central shaft 141 through a flat key 6 to ensure effective torque transmission. A number of ball bearing seats 7 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the lower part of the bearing plate 12. Each ball bearing seat 7 contains a ball bearing 143. The outer wall of the ball bearing 143 contacts the annular groove guide rail 8 provided on the base 11, thereby providing support and guidance when the bearing plate 12 rotates, ensuring stable rotation and accurate positioning.

[0025] The lifting assembly 2 is positioned above the base 11 and mainly includes a column 21, a transmission screw 22, a lifting block 23, and a second drive motor 24. A through-type moving groove is provided on one side of the column 21, and the upper and lower ends of the transmission screw 22 are rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the moving groove, respectively. The lifting block 23 is threadedly engaged with the transmission screw 22 via a threaded sleeve 91. The second drive motor 24 is mounted on the top of the column 21, and its output shaft passes through a bushing 92 at the top of the column 21 and connects to the top of the transmission screw 22, driving the transmission screw 22 to rotate, thereby causing the lifting block 23 to move vertically up and down along the column 21. This structure allows for precise adjustment of the vertical position of the detection device to accommodate products of different heights.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, to further enhance the positioning flexibility and angle adjustment capability of the detection head 31, a telescopic component 3, preferably an electric telescopic rod, is installed on the side wall of the lifting block 23. One end of the telescopic component is fixedly connected to the lifting block 23, and the other end is connected to the dual gimbal 33 by bolts. The dual gimbal 33 has multi-dimensional adjustment capabilities, and its two ends are used to install the machine vision industrial camera 32 and the detection head 31, respectively. It can achieve fine-tuning in the horizontal direction, expand the detection coverage area, and improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection.

[0027] The drive module 4 is electrically connected to the first drive motor 13 and the second drive motor 24, respectively, and is used to control the rotation of the support plate 12 and the movement of the lifting block 23 according to the detection command. Preferably, the drive module 4 includes an electronic control unit 41 and a power interface 42. The electronic control unit 41 can automatically adjust the rotation and lifting actions according to the received external commands, thereby improving the automation level of the detection.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the machine vision industrial camera 32 is used for identification and structural scanning of the product to be inspected. Its output image information is sent to an external system via the data transmission module 5. The external system analyzes the image and generates an inspection plan. The inspection head 31 performs the corresponding quality inspection task, and its inspection results are also transmitted to the external system in real time via the data transmission module 5 for recording, tracking, and evaluation. The data transmission module 5 includes a communication interface 51, which supports wireless or wired communication, establishing an efficient and stable data interaction channel with the external system.

[0029] During use, the product to be inspected is placed on the carrier plate 12, and the carrier plate 12 is slowly rotated by the first drive motor 13, so that the product is exposed to the inspection head 31 and vision camera one by one along the circumference, realizing automatic rotation inspection without manual movement of the product. When the inspection height needs to be adjusted, the lifting component 2 is driven by the second drive motor 24 to make fine adjustments to the vertical position; if fine adjustments are needed in the lateral or angular direction, the electric telescopic rod and the dual gimbal 33 are used to achieve planar fine-motion control.

[0030] In summary, this invention achieves automatic product rotation through the rotating mechanism 14, adjusts the detection height through the lifting component 2, and achieves lateral positioning and angle adjustment through the telescopic component 3 and the dual gimbal 33. Furthermore, by combining visual recognition and data processing technologies, it enables efficient, comprehensive, and automated quality inspection of different products in flexible manufacturing scenarios. Compared to traditional fixed inspection equipment, this invention offers significant advantages such as flexible structure, precise control, strong adaptability, and high efficiency, making it particularly suitable for the current rapid inspection needs of small-batch, diverse products in the manufacturing industry.

[0031] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
