Abstract

An automated tool detection apparatus comprises a machine, and a lens group, a feeding manipulator, a reclaiming manipulator and a control device all arranged on the machine. The machine is equipped with a rotary chuck. The first and the second lenses of the lens group are located on the upper left and right sides of the rotary chuck. The control device is used to control the actions of the rotary chuck, lens group, feeding manipulator and reclaiming manipulator, respectively. During the detection, the feeding manipulator takes an undetected tool and places it on the rotary chuck. The first and second lenses are used to photograph the appearance of the tool, and the image information of the tool is transmitted to the control device. The control device compares the image information of the tool with the preset detection setting value, and finally the detected good or defective tools are separately placed by the reclaiming manipulator to achieve automatic yield detection of tools.

Description

Automatic tool detection equipment and detection method thereof

The present invention relates to an automatic tool inspection equipment, in particular to take a picture of the appearance of the tool through a lens set, and transmit the image information of the tool to a control device, and the control device transmits the image information of the tool and the preset detection setting value After comparison, the reclaiming robot arm distinguishes and places the detected good or bad tools to achieve a fully automated yield detection mechanism for the tools.

Press, the drill bit is a necessary tool for drilling operations. Through the drill bit, various types of holes are drilled on the object to be processed, and other modes such as through-holes or non-penetrated blind holes are formed on the object to be processed; and , During the processing of the drill bit, the two helical cutting edges of the drill bit and the cutting end at one end of the two helical cutting edges are the necessary structure on the drill bit. The drill tip angle formed between the two cutting ends is more It determines the area range of the drill bit in contact with the object to be processed during cutting, and affects the smoothness of the cutting process. Depending on the size of the outer diameter of the drill bit, the angle of the drill tip angle will also change differently, which can be drilled on the object to be processed Holes of different sizes.

When the conventional drill is used for drilling, the cutting is mainly carried out by contacting the two cutting edges of the cutting end with the object to be processed, because the two cutting edges have inclined chip removal surfaces on both sides and extend to the two spiral chip removal grooves. The structural strength of the two cutting edges is insufficient, and it is easy to drill and cut In the process, the cutting edge is worn, chipped or bent.

Therefore, when the conventional drill bit is processed, the last yield detection procedure must be carried out; however, the conventional drill bit yield detection procedure uses all manual methods to measure the size of the drill bit after processing, whether the spiral cutting edge pattern is worn, and the drill bit. Whether it is bending or other phenomena for yield detection; or, the conventional drill bit yield detection procedure uses a semi-automatic method, and only the detection device first measures the size of the drill bit, and then manually cuts the drill bit in a spiral shape. Whether the blade pattern is worn, whether the drill bit is bent, etc., are used for yield detection, which causes the overall processing of the drill bit to be lengthy and human resources are relatively increased.

Therefore, how to develop a tool detection equipment that can perform yield detection on the size and appearance of tools (such as drills) (such as the appearance of the tool, whether the tool is bent) in a fully automated manner is what the present invention intends to solve The subject lies.
