Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing device technology, and in particular to a single-station ceramic testing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of lithium battery covers, there is an assembly process where workers manually assemble ceramic components of varying sizes in a specific order. After assembling each component, employees must visually inspect it before proceeding to the next step. During this self-inspection process, long hours and repetitive tasks can lead to visual fatigue among workers, making it difficult to promptly identify defective components with missing ceramic parts. This results in missed or incorrect inspections. Furthermore, since the ceramic parts are encased within the product after assembly, visual re-inspection is impossible, potentially leading to defective products being released and resulting in customer complaints and rework.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a single-station ceramic testing device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, this utility model provides a single-station ceramic inspection device that can effectively reduce the intensity of manual labor, reduce the generation of defective products, and reduce the possibility of subsequent customer complaints and rework.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A single-station ceramic inspection device includes: a pressing mechanism, comprising a base plate, a support frame mounted above the base plate, a pressure plate mounted on the support frame and capable of being raised and lowered, a power source one for driving the pressure plate to rise and fall, a track mounted on the base plate and a tooling base that can slide along the track, and a power source two for driving the tooling base to move; a vision inspection component, comprising an L-plate mounted on one side of the support frame and a vision camera mounted on the L-plate, the vision camera being connected to an image processing device; a control box containing a PLC for receiving signals from the image processing device and controlling the actions of power source one and power source two according to the signals; and a button box, comprising a vision trigger button, a start button, and a buzzer, wherein the vision trigger button is connected to the control terminal of the vision camera, and the start button and the buzzer are connected to the PLC.

[0007] Preferably, the power source is an electric push rod fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, whose output shaft is connected to the pressure plate and controlled by a PLC to realize the lifting and lowering movement of the pressure plate.

[0008] Preferably, the second power source is a cylinder fixedly mounted on the base plate, whose output shaft is connected to the tooling base, and the extension and retraction of the cylinder is controlled by the PLC to drive the tooling base to move along the track.

[0009] Preferably, multiple limiters are installed on the track to limit the travel of the tooling base.

[0010] Preferably, the L-plate has an elongated mounting hole, and a knob is installed in the mounting hole. By sliding the L-plate up and down and tightening the knob, the height of the vision camera can be adjusted so that the distance between its bottom lens and the tooling base reaches a suitable shooting distance.

[0011] Preferably, when the image processing device determines that there are no missing ceramic parts, it sends an OK signal to the PLC, and the PLC powers on the start button. After the start button is pressed, the PLC controls the second power source to move the tooling base, and then controls the first power source to lower the pressure plate to press the ceramic parts below before raising and resetting.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the single-station ceramic inspection device provided by this utility model includes: a pressing mechanism 1, a control box 2, and a button box 3; the pressing mechanism 1 includes a base plate 11, and a pressing assembly and a visual inspection assembly are arranged above the base plate 11; the pressing assembly includes a support frame 12 installed on the top of the base plate 11, and a lifting pressure plate 13 is installed on the support frame 12. The pressure plate 13 is driven by a power source. A track 15 is installed on the base plate 1, and a tooling base 16 that can slide along the track 15 is installed on the track 15. Ceramic parts are placed on the top of the tooling base 16 at the pressing position. The pressing position is different for different ceramic parts. The position directly below the pressure plate 13 is the pressing position, and the side away from the pressing position is the unloading position. Figure 2-3As shown, the tooling base 16 is driven by power source two. The vision inspection component includes an L-plate 18 installed on one side of the support frame 12, with a vision camera 19 mounted on the L-plate 18. The vision camera 19 is connected to an image processing device. The vision camera 19 takes pictures of the ceramic parts at the feeding position and transmits the photos to the image processing device. The image processing device compares the photos with stored reference photos to determine if any ceramic parts are missing. For example, if an algorithm or AI program calculates that the image information of the photo and the reference photo are basically consistent, it is automatically determined that no ceramic parts are missing. The image processing device sends an OK signal to the PLC in the control box 2, and then sends a start signal to the PLC through the button box 3. The PLC controls power source two to move the tooling base 16 to the clamping position. Then, the PLC controls power source one to lower the pressure plate 13 to clamp the ceramic parts below, and then raises it to reset, completing the product clamping operation. The clamped product then returns to the feeding position. If any ceramic parts are missing, subsequent actions cannot continue. By automatically determining whether ceramic parts are missing using a machine, the intensity of manual labor can be effectively reduced, and defective products with missing parts can be mistakenly pressed together. This can effectively reduce the generation of defective products and the possibility of subsequent customer complaints and rework. It is worth noting that image processing equipment is a mature technology, and related products are also relatively mature, so we will not go into details here. You can choose the appropriate product according to your actual needs. The so-called reference image is a standard image that accurately places the ceramic parts. Machine recognition does not suffer from fatigue, has a higher accuracy rate, and is suitable for long-term use.

[0024] By setting up a pressing mechanism 1, a control box 2, and a button box 3, and setting up a pressing structure 1 including a pressing component and a vision inspection component, the vision camera 19 takes a picture of the ceramic parts to be pressed, and the corresponding equipment automatically compares and judges whether the ceramic parts are missing, thereby effectively reducing the intensity of manual labor, avoiding the incorrect pressing of products with missing ceramic parts, effectively reducing the generation of defective products, and reducing the possibility of subsequent customer complaints and rework.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the power source includes an electric push rod 14 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 12. The low-end output shaft of the electric push rod 14 is connected to the pressure plate 13 to drive the pressure plate 13 to rise and fall. The electric push rod 13 is electrically connected to the PLC in the control box 2 and is controlled by the PLC. The PLC controls the rise and fall of the electric push rod 13, thereby driving the pressure plate 13 to rise and fall. When the pressure plate 13 falls, it can press the ceramic parts below.

[0027] By setting an electric push rod 14 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 12, the lifting and lowering operation of the pressure plate 13 can be easily driven.

[0028] Example 3:

[0029] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the second power source includes a cylinder 17 fixedly mounted on the base plate 11. The output shaft of the cylinder 17 is connected to one side of the tooling base 16, and the solenoid valve on the air supply line of the cylinder 17 is electrically connected to the PLC in the control box 2. In use, the PLC controls the air circuit of the cylinder 17 through the solenoid valve, so that the output shaft of the cylinder 17 can extend and retract, thereby driving the tooling base 16 to move along the track 15.

[0030] The tooling base 16 can be easily driven to move along the track 15 by the cylinder 17 fixedly installed on the base plate 11.

[0031] Example 4:

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple limiters 150 are installed on the track 15. The limiters 150, located on both sides of the tooling base 16, limit the travel of the tooling base 16, ensuring it reaches the correct position. It is worth noting that the position of the limiters 150 is adjustable.

[0033] By installing multiple limiters 150 on the track 15, the travel of the tooling base 16 can be limited.

[0034] Example 5:

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, an elongated mounting hole 180 is made on the L plate 18, and a knob 185 is installed in the mounting hole 180. The knob 185 is threadedly connected to the support frame 12, and the L plate 18 is pressed and fixed to one side of the support frame 12. By sliding the L plate 18 up and down and then tightening the knob 185, the height of the visual camera 19 can be easily adjusted so that the bottom lens can reach a suitable shooting distance from the tooling base 16.

[0036] By setting the mounting hole 180 and installing the knob 185, the height of the visual camera 19 can be easily adjusted, as can the distance between its bottom and the tooling base 16.

[0037] Example 6:

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the button box 3 includes a housing 31, on which a visual trigger button 32, a start button 33, and a buzzer 34 are installed. The visual trigger button 32 is connected to the control terminal of the visual camera 19. When the visual trigger button 32 is pressed, the visual camera 19 automatically takes a picture of the image below and transmits the picture to the image processing device. The start button 33 and the buzzer 34 are connected to the PLC in the control box 2. When the image processing device determines that there are no missing ceramic parts, it sends an OK signal to the PLC, and the PLC powers on the start button 33. At this time, when the start button 33 is pressed, the PLC receives the start signal and automatically controls the action of the electric push rod 14 and the cylinder 17. When the image processing device determines that there are missing ceramic parts, it sends an NG signal to the PLC. After receiving the NG signal, the PLC turns on the power to the buzzer 34, and the buzzer 34 sounds an alarm. At this time, even if the start button 33 is pressed (the start button 33 is de-energized), the PLC will not perform the next action until the alarm is manually cleared.

[0039] The device can be easily used by setting up a button box 3 that includes a housing 31, a visual trigger button 32, a start button 33, and a buzzer 34.

[0040] Working principle: During use, after placing ceramic parts on the fixture base 16, press the vision trigger button 32 on the control box 3. The vision camera 19 takes a picture and compares it with the reference image. If there are no missing ceramics, the image processing device sends an OK signal to the PLC in the control box 2. The PLC outputs a start signal to the normally open contact of the start button 33. Pressing the start button 33 causes the cylinder 17 to move the fixture base 16 to the clamping position. The electric push rod 14 moves the pressure plate 13 down and then up to clamp the product. After the product is clamped, the cylinder 17 moves the fixture base 16 back to the unloading position. If there are missing ceramics, the image processing device sends an NG signal to the PLC in the control box 2. The PLC outputs an alarm signal to the buzzer 34, and the buzzer sounds. After replacing the product, press the vision trigger button 32 again to take a picture and compare it with the reference image. The following process is the same as above. If the product is not replaced, the buzzer 34 will keep sounding. Pressing the start button 33 will not cause any response from the equipment, and assembly cannot continue.
