Forming tool detection apparatus

Abstract

A forming tool detection device includes a reflector module, an image sensor and a backlight module respectively disposed on both sides of the reflector module with a detection space formed between the backlight module and the reflector module for the insertion of a forming tool for detection. The reflector module focuses the light projected by the backlight module and reflects the focused light toward the backlight module and is provided with a hollow portion for the image sensor to capture an image of the forming tool. The reflector module is used to reflect the light emitted by the backlight module so that the tool image captured by the image sensor can detect the length and outer diameter of the forming tool, thereby simplifying the tool detection process.

Claims

1. A forming tool detection apparatus, comprising an image sensor, a reflector and a backlight, wherein: said image sensor and said backlight are respectively disposed on opposite sides of said reflector, so that a detection space is formed between said backlight and said reflector for insertion of a forming tool for detection; wherein: said backlight is configured to project light toward said reflector; said reflector is configured to focus the light projected by said backlight and reflect the focused light toward said detection space, the reflector comprising a hollow portion for said image sensor to capture an image of said forming tool in said detection space; wherein the forming tool detection apparatus further comprises an adjustment module, the adjustment module comprising: a base, a lifting seat, a rail mount, a focal length adjustment mount holding said image sensor, and a focus adjustment mount holding said reflector, said lifting seat being connected to said base and vertically movable relative to said base, said rail mount being connected to said lifting seat, said focal length adjustment mount and said focus adjustment mount being connected to said rail mount and transversely movable relative to said rail mount.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(6) Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a forming tool detection apparatus in accordance with the present invention is shown. The forming tool detection apparatus comprises an image sensor 1, an adjustment module 2, a reflector module 3 and a backlight module 5.

(7) The image sensor 1 and the backlight module 5 are respectively disposed on both sides of the reflector module 3, so that a detection space 4 is formed between the backlight module 5 and the reflector module 3 for the insertion of a forming tool 6 for detection.

(8) The backlight module 5 projects light toward the reflector module 3, and the reflector module 3 focuses the light projected by the backlight module 5 and reflects it toward the backlight module 5. The reflector module 3 is provided with a hollow portion 31 for the image sensor 1 to capture an image of the forming tool 6 in the detection space 4.

(9) The adjustment module 2 comprises a base 21, a lifting seat 22, a rail mount 23, a focal length adjustment mount 24, and a focus adjustment mount 25. The lifting seat 22 is connected to the base 21 and can be vertically displaced relative to the base 21. The rail mount 23 is connected to the lifting seat 22. The focal length adjustment mount 24 and the focus adjustment mount 25 are connected to the rail mount 23 and can be transversely displaced relative to the rail mount 23.

(10) The image sensor 1 and the reflector module 3 are respectively connected to the focal length adjustment mount 24 and the focus adjustment mount 25. The reflector module 3 comprises a locating block 33 connected to the focus adjustment mount 25, and an arc-shaped focusing lens 32 provided on the locating block 33 to face toward the backlight module 5. The hollow portion 31 cuts through the locating block 33 and the arc-shaped focusing lens 32.

(11) Referring to FIGS. 1-5, when detecting the forming tool 6, as shown in FIG. 4, place the forming tool 6 in the detection space 4, then activate the backlight module 5 to emit light, enabling the arc-shaped focusing lens 32 of the reflector module 3 to focus the light emitted by the backlight module 5 and to project the focused light onto the surface of the forming tool 6 that faces toward the reflector module 3, so that the image of the forming tool 6 captured by the image sensor 1 can be used to clearly determine the outer diameter A of the forming tool 6 through the light source projected by the backlight module 5 toward the reflector module 3. The light source focused by the arc-shaped focusing lens 32 can make the chipping groove 61 on the surface of forming tool 6 clearly visible, so that the length of the forming tool 6 can be judged. Furthermore, the user can adjust the height of the image sensor 1 and the reflector module 3 through the lifting seat 22 of the adjustment module 2, and can also use the focal length adjustment mount 24 and the focus adjustment mount 25 to adjust the focal length of the image sensor 1 and the focal position of the reflector module 3, making the image of the forming tool 6 captured by the image sensor 1 more clear.
