Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts inspection technology, specifically to a rotary tooling for continuous visual inspection of automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] Existing visual inspection devices for automotive parts typically use a rotating disk structure to move the parts through the shooting area. However, the parts can often only pass through the camera in a fixed posture, resulting in image acquisition only on a single surface close to the camera. This makes it impossible to switch the shooting position by rotating the parts in front of the lens, which limits the number of inspection surfaces and inspection efficiency. Therefore, a rotating fixture for continuous visual inspection of automotive parts is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a rotary tooling for continuous visual inspection of automotive parts.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a rotary tooling for continuous visual inspection of automotive parts. The rotary tooling includes a rotary table and a support base. The rotary table is disposed on the top of the support base. The top outer periphery of the rotary table has cavities for storing parts at equal intervals. An annular sleeve is fitted around the outer periphery of the rotary tooling. A feed port for parts to enter the cavities is opened on one side of the annular sleeve. A secondary rotary table is embedded in the bottom surface of the cavity. The bottom of the secondary rotary table is rotatably connected to the rotary table through a bearing. A driven rubber wheel is bolted from the center of the bottom of the secondary rotary table to the bottom of the rotary table.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, a rotating tooling mechanism consisting of a rotating table and a support base, along with a ring sleeve, is provided for the visual inspection of automotive shaft parts. This mechanism enables continuous visual inspection of automotive parts by the visual inspection equipment. While allowing the automotive parts to pass through visual inspection lenses at different angles in sequence, the parts can also rotate further under the inspection lenses, allowing them to be displayed 360° under the lenses, thus improving the comprehensiveness of the display.

[0006] Specifically, a stepper motor is installed at the top of the support base, and a flange is welded to the top of the drive end of the stepper motor. The bottom of the rotary table is rotatably connected to the support base through a bearing, and the flange is fixedly installed at the center of the rotary table by bolts.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating table is driven to rotate by a stepper motor, so that the automotive parts entering the cavity of the rotating table can pass through the lens of the vision inspection equipment in sequence with the rotating table.

[0008] Specifically, a drive assembly is provided on the outer periphery of the support base. The drive assembly includes a servo electric cylinder. The tail of the servo electric cylinder is inserted into the support base, and a flange ring is welded to the outer periphery of the servo electric cylinder. The servo electric cylinder is bolted to the support base through the flange ring.

[0009] Specifically, the output end of the servo electric cylinder is bolted to a corner bracket, the top of the corner bracket is rotatably connected to a drive rubber wheel via a bearing, and the bottom of the corner bracket is bolted to a servo motor, the drive end of the servo motor being connected to the rotation shaft of the drive rubber wheel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the corner code can be pushed and pulled through the setting of the servo electric cylinder, so that the active rubber wheel on the corner code can contact the driven rubber wheel under the sub-turntable in the cavity that is rotating and moving to the lens of the vision inspection equipment. Thus, after the servo motor drives the active rubber wheel, the active rubber wheel can drive the driven rubber wheel to rotate, so that the sub-turntable drives the car parts entering the cavity to rotate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By combining a rotating fixture consisting of a rotating table and a support base with an annular sleeve, a rotating fixture mechanism is provided for the visual inspection of automotive axle parts. This mechanism enables continuous visual inspection of automotive parts in conjunction with visual inspection equipment. The rotating table drives the parts to revolve, allowing them to pass through different camera stations in sequence. Simultaneously, the drive component controls the parts to rotate at designated inspection positions, achieving multi-angle and omnidirectional image acquisition of the parts during the visual inspection process. This significantly improves the comprehensiveness and automation level of the inspection and is suitable for the continuous visual inspection needs of automotive parts such as axles.

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention discloses a rotary tooling for continuous visual inspection of automotive parts, comprising a rotary tooling 2, which includes a rotary table 22 and a support base 21. The rotary table 22 is disposed on the top of the support base 21. The top outer periphery of the rotary table 22 has cavities 221 for storing parts at equal intervals. The rotary tooling 2 is fitted with an annular sleeve 1. One side of the annular sleeve 1 has a feed port 11 for parts to enter the cavity 221. A secondary rotary table 222 is embedded in the bottom surface of the cavity 221. The bottom of the secondary rotary table 222 is rotatably connected to the rotary table 22 via a bearing, and a driven rubber wheel 223 is bolted from the bottom center of the secondary rotary table 222 to the bottom of the rotary table 22.

[0016] The present invention also includes a stepper motor 211 installed on the top of the support base 21, a flange 212 welded to the top of the drive end of the stepper motor 211, and the bottom of the rotary table 22 being rotatably connected to the support base 21 via a bearing, and the flange 212 being fixedly installed at the center of the rotary table 22 by bolts.

[0017] In use, the stepper motor 211 drives the rotary table 22 to rotate, so that the car parts entering the cavity 221 of the rotary table 22 can pass through the lens of the vision inspection equipment in sequence with the rotary table 22.

[0018] The present invention further includes a drive assembly 23 disposed on the outer periphery of the support base 21. The drive assembly 23 includes a servo electric cylinder 231. The tail of the cylinder body of the servo electric cylinder 231 is inserted into the support base 21, and a flange ring is welded to the outer periphery of the cylinder body of the servo electric cylinder 231. The cylinder body of the servo electric cylinder 231 is bolted to the support base 21 through the flange ring. The bottom of the support base 21 is reserved with wire holes for the servo electric cylinder 231 and the stepper motor 211.

[0019] The present invention also includes a corner bracket 232 bolted to the output end of the servo electric cylinder 231, a drive rubber wheel 233 rotatably connected to the top of the corner bracket 232 via a bearing, and a servo motor 234 bolted to the bottom of the corner bracket 232, the drive end of the servo motor 234 being connected to the rotation shaft of the drive rubber wheel 233.

[0020] In use, based on the setting of the servo electric cylinder 231, the corner code 232 can be pushed and pulled so that the active rubber wheel 233 on the corner code 232 can contact the driven rubber wheel 223 below the sub-turntable 222 in the cavity 221 that has rotated and moved to the lens of the vision inspection equipment. Thus, after the servo motor 234 drives the active rubber wheel 233, the active rubber wheel 233 can drive the driven rubber wheel 223 to rotate, so that the sub-turntable 222 drives the car parts that have entered the cavity 221 to rotate.

[0021] Furthermore, during use, the annular sleeve 1 and the support base 21 are assembled on the work platform in the work area, and the camera component of the visual inspection equipment to be used is installed along the outer periphery of the annular sleeve 1. The installation position of the drive component 23 is assembled according to the shooting position of the visual inspection equipment, or the shooting camera of the visual inspection equipment is assembled according to the position of the drive component 23. A conveyor or vibrating plate is provided, and the discharge end of the conveyor or vibrating plate is arranged corresponding to the inlet 11, so that the conveyor or vibrating plate feeds the automotive parts to be inspected into the cavity 221 of the rotary table 22 through the inlet 11. The automotive parts that have completed the visual inspection can be picked up and unloaded by a robotic arm or manually picked up and unloaded.

[0022] In use, the rotary table 22 is driven by a stepper motor 211 to achieve intermittent rotation. An annular sleeve 1 is fitted over the outside of the rotary table 22 to prevent parts entering the rotary table 22 from falling out. The feed port 11 of the rotary table 22 is connected to a vibratory feeder or conveyor to achieve automatic feeding. When a car enters a cavity 221 through the feed port 11, the rotary table 22 rotates stepwise to move the parts to the vision inspection station. At this time, the servo cylinder 231 pushes the corner code 232 to make the active rubber wheel 233 contact the driven rubber wheel 223 at the bottom of the current cavity. The servo motor 234 drives the active rubber wheel 233 to rotate, thereby driving the auxiliary rotary table 222 and the parts on it to rotate, realizing multi-angle image acquisition. After the inspection is completed, the parts are rotated to the discharge position with the rotary table 22 and picked up by a robot or manually.
