Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve island inspection technology, specifically a robotic device for visual inspection of valve island products. Background Technology
[0002] A valve terminal is a pneumatic-electromechanical integrated control component composed of multiple electrically controlled valves, invented by the German company Festo in the 1980s. Its core function is to integrate signal input / output and control modules, simplifying pneumatic system wiring through multi-pin interfaces or fieldbus technology, and it is widely used in automation. Valve terminals are a new generation of pneumatic-electromechanical integrated control components, evolving from initial valve terminals with multi-pin interfaces to those with fieldbus capabilities, and subsequently to programmable and modular valve terminals. The combination of valve terminal technology and fieldbus technology not only ensures easy wiring of electrically controlled valves but also greatly simplifies the debugging, performance testing, diagnosis, and maintenance of complex systems. Leveraging the high-level integrated information system of fieldbus, the advantages of both are fully utilized, resulting in broad application prospects. As global manufacturing accelerates towards Industry 4.0, production efficiency, product quality, and production safety have become key indicators of core competitiveness for enterprises, making intelligent manufacturing a core direction for industry upgrading. As a core component of pneumatic control systems, valve islands are widely used in critical fields such as automobile manufacturing, electronic assembly, and automated production lines. Their quality directly affects the stability and safety of the entire fluid control system, placing stringent requirements on inspection accuracy and efficiency. Against this backdrop, traditional manual inspection methods can no longer meet the demands of modern production, necessitating intelligent visual inspection equipment to achieve technological innovation.
[0003] Most existing valve island visual inspection equipment relies on manual inspection, which has certain limitations, such as low inspection accuracy, low efficiency, and operator fatigue. At the same time, some existing equipment has a relatively low degree of automation in the inspection process, making it difficult to improve inspection efficiency and making it inconvenient to carry out inspection work better.

By controlling the electric push rod and motor 3, the device easily clamps and fixes objects on the conveyor table. Then, controlling motor 1 rotates gear 1, which in turn drives gears 2 and 3. Gear 3 then drives gear 4 and the threaded rod. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the sliding seat to slide and adjust, allowing the sliding seat to move the gripping frame and the valve island to be inspected up and down, facilitating inspection by the visual inspection device. During the inspection process, controlling motor 2 allows the gripping frame and the valve island to be inspected to be flipped, enabling a more comprehensive inspection and improving inspection accuracy and efficiency.
[0013] 2. This robotic equipment for visual inspection of valve island products uses a PLC controller, electric cylinder, pusher plate, and material table in conjunction. When the inspection fails, the visual inspection equipment sends a signal to the PLC controller, which then controls the electric cylinder to push the pusher plate to push the defective valve island onto the material table for easy recycling and processing, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

In this embodiment, gear 49 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 2 via a bearing. The bottom of gear 49 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 10, and gear 49 meshes with gear 38. The rotation of gear 38 can drive gear 49 and threaded rod 10 to rotate, which facilitates transmission. In this embodiment, the sliding seat 11 is provided with a threaded hole inside. The sliding seat 11 is threadedly slidably connected to the threaded rod 10 through the threaded hole. The sliding seat 11 can be adjusted up and down by rotating the threaded rod 10, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the clamping frame 14. In this embodiment, a motor 1401 is fixedly installed at one end of the clamping frame 14, a bidirectional lead screw 1402 is provided inside the clamping frame 14, a slider 1403 is sleeved on the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 1402, a clamping plate 1404 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 1403, the output end of the motor 1401 is connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 1402, a threaded hole is provided inside the slider 1403, and the slider 1403 is threadedly slidably connected to the bidirectional lead screw 1402 through the threaded hole.
