Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to an inspecting apparatus, more particularly to an inspecting apparatus with eddy current inspection.
    • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Referring to Fig. 1 , a conventional inspecting apparatus 1 for detecting material properties, such as hardness, mainly consists of a base 11, an inlet feeding system 12 for transporting objects 2 (for instance of screws or nuts), an inspecting rail 13 attached to the feeding system 12, an eddy current machine 14 disposed on the rail 13, and a determining device 15 communicating with the eddy current machine 14. By the concatenation of the above elements, the objects 2 are continuously introduced into the rail 13 by the feeding system 12 and inspected by passing through the eddy current machine 14. The eddy current machine 14 thus transmits the signals to the determining device 15 for the detail analyses.
  • In operation, for further defects detection such as external cracks are carried out by human visual inspection and handling; however, the obj ect 2 additionally requires appropriative apparatuses (not shown in the figure) for detecting other items thereof, for instance of the thread diameter or the pitch measurements, so that the detection of the object would be interrupted and the detecting speed thus is suspended while moving the object 2 to other apparatuses for multiple inspections, thus affecting the detecting speed. Moreover, the inlet feeding system 12 is not able to properly space the objects 2 apart while introducing them into the rail 13, which would facilely result in that the object thrusts to its front detecting object in time of feeding, thus affecting the detecting signals of the eddy current machine 14. Therefore, the determining device 15 may still have higher possibility of the inaccurate inspection. An inspection apparatus of the prior art is e.g. known from US-A-3,235,075 or GB-A-2 266 774 .
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The object of the present invention is to provide an inspecting apparatus with eddy current inspection which is conducive to obtain rapid speed detection and increase the inspecting efficiency.
  • The inspecting apparatus with eddy current inspection in conformity with the present invention essentially comprises a determining device, an inlet conveyer system, a turntable connecting to the inlet conveyer system, a shield board surrounding the turntable, an outlet conveyer system disposed beside the turntable and an eddy current sorting assembly engaged to the outlet conveyer system; wherein, the eddy current sorting assembly has a detecting entrance, a detector connected to the determining device, and a stopper mechanism and a dispensing system respectively disposed on the entrance. Therefore, the object is able to be sequentially introduced into the detecting entrance by assistance of the turntable and the outlet conveyer system, then detected under a nondestructive inspection and analyzed by the determining device; further the dispensing system sorts the object into defective or non-defective according to the analyzed record. Furthermore, the present invention performs preliminary examinations and discards non-conformed objects prior to the eddy current assembly, consequently, the amount of obj ects needed to pass through the assembly are reduced and thus higher sorting speed is obtained.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Before describing in greater detail, it should note that the like elements are denoted by the similar reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
  • Referring to Fig 2 , an inspecting apparatus 3 with eddy current inspection of the first preferred embodiment comprises a determining device 31, an inlet conveyer system 32 for orientating and aligning objects 5 (for instance of screws or nuts), a turntable 33 connecting to an exit of the inlet conveyer system 32, a shield board 34 surrounding the turntable to prevent drops of the objects 5, an outlet conveyer system 35 disposed at one side of the turntable 33, and an eddy current sorting assembly 4 engaged to the outlet conveyer system 35 and communicating with the determining device 31; wherein, the turntable 33 includes a plurality of cutout grooves 331 spaced around an outer periphery thereof to receive and position the objects 5 therein.
  • Still further, referring to Fig. 2 and 3 , the eddy current sorting assembly 4 provides with a detecting entrance 41 for the objects 5 traveling therein, a detector 42 disposed on an outer circumference of the detecting entrance 41 and communicating with the determining device 31, and a stopper mechanism 43 and a dispensing system 44 respectively mounted on the detecting entrance 41; wherein, the stopper mechanism 43 has a power motor 432, and a stopper rod 431 driven by the power motor 432 and laterally mounted through the detecting entrance 41 for resting the objects 5. Additionally, the dispensing system 44 is located below the stopper mechanism 43, whereby the objects 5 are able to remain shortly within the detector 42 till the nondestructive inspection process for the object 5 is finished and then be sorted into defectives or non-defectives based on analyses of the determining device 31. As shown in Fig. 4 , the outlet conveyer system 35 is adopted to include two guiding rails 45 and a channel 451 formed therebetween; that is, the two guiding rails 45 have their ends disposed below the turntable 33 and their other ends contacted with the inspecting entrance 41, so that the objects 5 are able to be sequentially transported from the turntable 33 to the eddy current sorting assembly 4.
  • While in detecting, referring to Fig. 2 to 5 , each object 5 is initially introduced into the cutout groove 331 by the inlet conveyer system 32, so that the turntable 32 can equidistantly transport the objects 5. Further, the output conveyer system 35 propels the object 5 to sequentially enter into the inspecting entrance 41 through the guiding rail 45 so as to prevent the shoving among the objects 5. Subsequently, the stopper rod 431 driven by the power motor 432 initially blocks each object 5 (shown in Fig. 5 ) and makes it stay within the detector 42 for a nondestructive inspection. The detector 42 receives the detecting signals and transmits them to the determining device 31 for analyzing the quality of the object 5. Finally, the stopper rod 431 frees the object 5 and passes it through the dispensing system 44 (shown in Fig. 6 ) for sorting the object 5 into defective or non-defective according to the analyzed record, thus achieving high speed detection and increasing the inspecting efficiency.
  • Referring to Fig. 7 , another preferred embodiment of the present invention still comprises a determining device 31, an eddy current sorting assembly 4, an inlet conveyer system 32, a turntable 33 with a shield board 34 disposed therearound, and an outlet conveyer system 35. Particularly, a camera 6 is mounted on the turntable 33 and electrically connected to the determining device 31; further, the outlet conveyer system 35 includes a pusher 352 separately disposed on the turntable 33 so as to initially discard the defective and malformed object 5. The pusher 352 is adopted as a jet of high pressure gas in this embodiment.
  • Still referring to Fig. 7 , the object 5 is firstly introduced into cutout groove 331 and sequentially transported by the turntable 33. The object 5 is then moved below the camera 6 for providing precedence to the optical detection, e.g. receiving the surface signal thereof, and the camera 6 transmits the signal to the determining device 31 to attain the initial analysis. Immediately, the outlet conveyer system 35 sorts the objects 5 into defectives and non-defectives based on the analysis, namely the pusher 352 directs its jet at the flaw object 5 to deviate it from the turntable 33 and keeps the retaining flawless objects 5 staying at their positions, the two guiding rails 45 thus guide the flawless objects 5 in sequence into the eddy current sorting assembly 4 along the channel 451, thereby preventing the problem of shoving. In this manner, the flawless objects 5 is initially selected by the camera 6 and detected once again under the nondestructive inspection of the eddy current sorting assembly 4, which is conducive to ensure more precise inspections and increase the detecting efficiency.
  • To sum up, the present invention takes advantages of the turntable transporting the objects and sequentially introducing them into the eddy current sorting assembly to have a nondestructive inspection and dispense the objects into defectives or non-defectives, thereby increasing the detecting speed. In addition, the present invention can also have the preliminary examination by the camera before guiding the objects into the eddy current sorting assembly, the initial flawless objects thus has dual detections, thereby promoting the inspection quality and efficiency.
  • While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
