Straight Conveying Inspection System for Separable Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing inspection systems for separable inspection objects, particularly those using rotary tables, lack flexibility and accuracy due to their fixed curved design, which complicates the inspection process and requires cumbersome modifications for different applications.
Innovation Solution
An inspection system with a conveying device featuring a straight section where inspection units can be placed, allowing for modular configuration and improved accuracy by eliminating the need to correct for curved paths, along with a feed and ejecting device that facilitates efficient handling of inspection objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a rotary table with curved inspection path is used, then the inspection system can handle separable inspection objects, but the inspection accuracy is limited and flexibility for different applications is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device transitions from a fixed curved rotary table path to a dynamic straight linear path, allowing inspection objects to move along a straight line past stationary inspection units. This dynamic configuration enables multiple inspection units to be positioned along the straight section, improving measurement precision while maintaining adaptability through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The inspection system is segmented into separate functional modules: feed device, conveying device with straight section, multiple inspection units positioned along the straight section, and ejecting device. This segmentation allows flexible configuration and adaptation to different inspection applications while maintaining high inspection accuracy
2Reliability
If multiple inspection units are added to inspect different properties, then inspection comprehensiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple inspection units are positioned along the straight section of the conveying device, each equipped with different sensors to inspect various properties of inspection objects simultaneously. This multi-functional arrangement improves inspection comprehensiveness while the modular straight-section design keeps system complexity manageable through standardized configurations

AI summary
An inspection system for a plurality of separable inspection objects, which may accommodate different inspection applications and facilitate the use of linear or straight sections in the conveying path. The inspection system may include a feed device for inspection objects, a conveying device for inspection objects, an inspection unit, and an ejecting device. The feed device is configured to feed the inspection objects to a feed position of the conveying device. The conveying device includes a plurality of receptacles, with each receptacle being configured and disposed such that exactly one inspection object of the plurality of inspection objects can be conveyed along a conveying path in said receptacle and that two respective inspection objects from the plurality of inspection objects have a spacing along the conveying path that is defined by the plurality of receptacles. The inspection unit is disposed at an inspection position on the conveying path.
