The invention relates to a chip type electronic element appearance inspection machine in the field of electronic element manufacturing and inspection. The chip type electronic element appearance inspection machine comprises a feed mechanism, a transparent turntable conveying mechanism, six sets of inspection mechanisms, a sorting mechanism and a control system; the feed mechanism comprises a disk feeder and a straight feeder; the transparent turntable conveying mechanism comprises a glass disk; each inspection mechanism comprises an inspection unit, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera unit, LED (light-emitting diode) illumination units and a focusing unit, and the six sets of inspection mechanisms are arranged over, under and on the edge of the transparent glass disk; and the sorting mechanism comprises a high-speed electromagnetic valve, an acceptable product bin, an unaccepted product bin and a reinspection bin. Since the glass disk is used by the chip type electronic element appearance inspection machine, the six sides of an electronic element can be inspected at high speed; since the sorting mechanism is used, the chip type electronic element appearance inspection machine has a simple structure, and is convenient to maintain; because the inspection mechanisms can directly shoot the six sides of the electronic element and transmit information, the chip type electronic element appearance inspection machine can be adapted to high-speed inspection operation; and manual operation is replaced, the inspection quality is stable, and the cost is low.
