This robotization piano plate equipment based on current vortex adopts current vortex mode to detect steel ball surface and inherent vice simultaneously, wherein launch rotating disk 4 and carry out circular-rotation under the driving of the second drive unit 5, launch rotating disk 4 also to move horizontally under the driving of the 3rd drive unit 10, by launching the circular-rotation of rotating disk 4 and moving horizontally rubbing steel ball to be checked and launch completely in the test chamber 13 corresponding to eddy current probe 11 simultaneously.When adopting eddy current probe 11 to piano plate to be checked, scope detected by it is the ball-crown body part of steel ball to be checked, when expansion rotating disk 4 carries out circular-rotation rubbing to steel ball to be checked, namely steel ball rolling to be checked completes the detection of a longitude range to steel ball to be checked for one week, when expansion rotating disk 4 moves horizontally rubbing to steel ball to be checked, steel ball to be checked is orthogonal is rolled into next longitude range place to be checked, and so forth, eddy current probe 11 is made to carry out the detection of multiple different longitude range to steel ball to be checked, thus guarantee the completely covering of eddy current probe 11 to the whole spheroid of steel ball to be checked.
This is based on the robotization piano plate equipment of current vortex, and launch rotating disk 4 carries out accurately and stably translation while smooth rotation to select the driving mechanism of the formation of screw mandrel 9, slide block 7 and guide rail 8 to guarantee.
First drive unit 3 is vertically connected with rotating shaft 15, this rotating shaft 15 is arranged with the axle sleeve 16 can located along its up-down adjustment, and feeding rotating disk 2 is fixedly connected with this axle sleeve 16.Being coordinated for regulating the relative height launching rotating disk 4 of feeding rotating disk 2 by axle sleeve 16 and rotating shaft 15, adapting to different steel balls to be checked to make feeding rotating disk 2.
Eddy current probe 11 is multiple, and the plurality of eddy current probe 11 is a corresponding test chamber 13 or the corresponding multiple test chamber 13 of difference simultaneously.The program repeatedly can be rechecked steel ball to be checked, to guarantee the accuracy of testing result.Such as, two symmetrically arranged eddy current probes 11 are adopted to be obliquely installed with the relative test chamber 13 of miter angle, these two eddy current probes 11 detect same steel ball to be checked simultaneously, further, the eddy current probe 11 of one of them can also be set to laser probe (not shown), on the laser beam irradiation that laser probe sends to the surface of steel ball to be checked and then reflection can the laser receiver of laser probe, laser detecting apparatus is utilized to judge whether steel ball surface has defect according to the reflection lasering beam that it receives, laser probe and eddy current probe 11 all belong to high-accuracy detecting sensor, laser probe is only limitted to the surface imperfection detecting steel ball to be checked, or respectively respectively directly over two adjacent test chamber 13 arrange one or more eddy current probe 11, these two eddy current probes 11 detect two steel balls to be checked respectively, and namely same steel ball to be checked carries out twice detection respectively simultaneously.
Some test chamber 13 circumferentially decile are arranged, some test chamber 13, in multiple concentric circumference, are often enclosed and are circumferentially provided with eddy current probe 11 described at least one.Wherein, different test chamber 13 diameter circumferentially can be the same or different, and when difference test chamber 13 diameter is circumferentially identical, namely on feeding rotating disk 2, arrange multiple detection station, the plurality of detection station synchronously detects, and can improve detection efficiency; When difference test chamber 13 diameter is circumferentially different, as shown in Figure 4, namely feeding rotating disk 2 is applicable to the steel ball to be detected of different-diameter, and feeding rotating disk 2 only need be regulated relatively to launch the height of rotating disk 4, and not needing replacing feeding rotating disk 2 to detect, its versatility is stronger.
The discharge end of discharging mechanism 12 is also connected with sorting unit 17, and sorting unit 17 carries out sorting according to the test result of eddy current detection instrument to steel ball to be detected, so that pick out underproof steel ball to be checked.
First drive unit 3, second drive unit 5 and the 3rd drive unit 10 are stepping actuating motor, are convenient to PLC programming Control, and drive precision higher.
Launch rotating disk 4 to flush with the upper surface of pallet 6, avoid steel ball to scratch steel ball when entering pallet 6 from expansion rotating disk 4 or entering launch rotating disk 4 from pallet 6.
This is based on the robotization piano plate equipment of current vortex, its principle of work and process as follows:
Steel ball to be checked enters in the test chamber 13 of feeding rotating disk 2 from feeding mechanism 1 one by one, and the first drive unit 3 drives feeding rotating disk 2 step-by-step movement rotating disk, and feeding rotating disk 2 often rotates a step pitch, and feeding mechanism 1 completes a charging, when gold gives dish running clearance transfixion, launch rotating disk 4 and carry out circular-rotation under the driving of the second drive unit 5, launch rotating disk 4 also to move horizontally under the driving of the 3rd drive unit 10 simultaneously, particularly, 3rd drive unit 10 drives screw mandrel 9 to rotate, and screw mandrel 9 and slide block 7 threaded engagement, therefore when screw mandrel 9 rotates, the position-limiting action that slide block 7 is subject to guide rail 8 moves along guide rail 8, again because the second drive unit 5 and pallet 6 are all fixedly installed on slide block 7, therefore the second drive unit 5, expansion rotating disk 4 and pallet 6 move integrally with slide block 7, by launching the circular-rotation of rotating disk 4 and moving horizontally rubbing steel ball to be checked and launch completely in the test chamber 13 corresponding to eddy current probe 11, in steel ball expansion process to be checked, eddy current probe 11 remains detected state, and detection data are transferred to eddy current detection instrument carry out analyzing and processing, the whether qualified judgement signal of this steel ball to be checked is provided again by eddy current detection instrument, when this steel ball to be checked to turn to discharging opening 14 place of pallet 6 with feeding rotating disk 2, steel ball to be checked falls in the sorting unit 17 of discharging mechanism 12 from test chamber 13, this sorting unit 17 carries out sorting according to the detection signal of eddy current detection instrument to this steel ball to be checked, pick out underproof steel ball to be checked.
The above, it is only preferred embodiment of the present utility model, not any restriction is made to technical scope of the present utility model, therefore every above embodiment is done according to technical spirit of the present utility model any trickle amendment, equivalent variations and modification, all still belong in the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
