Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) circuit board testing technology, and in particular to the field of UAV flight control board appearance testing equipment in a production line. Background Technology
[0002] Circuit boards are a common product in the industrial field. By integrating various components onto circuit boards, automated control of various industrial products can be achieved, saving space. The integration of control functions helps to reduce product size and weight. With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, industrial and consumer-grade drones are experiencing explosive growth. As a highly versatile series of drone flight control systems, production efficiency is a particularly prominent issue. In particular, the drone flight control board is the heart of the drone flight control system. After production, the flight control board needs to undergo multiple inspection processes. Therefore, detecting surface quality defects such as exposed copper, scratches, and component misalignment on the circuit board surface is one of the key steps to ensure circuit board quality, thereby preventing these appearance defects from being carried over to subsequent production processes, which would increase production cycle and inspection costs.
[0003] However, existing methods for detecting visual defects in drone flight control boards have the following drawbacks: After inspecting one side of the board, it's impossible to inspect the other side. The board must be flipped over manually or with a robotic arm for inspection, resulting in long inspection distances and potential for scratches, abrasions, and other uncontrollable factors during transport, increasing the risk of defective products. Furthermore, the visual inspection results of existing drone flight control boards require image comparison using a vision system, manual confirmation, and manual operation to complete the sorting process for boards with visual defects, leading to low production efficiency.

[0071] Working principle:
[0072] When the flight control board 101 to be tested on the first conveyor belt 2 reaches the designated position, the translation motor 408 of the first detection module 4 drives the translation slider 405 to move to the left, the first mini telescopic cylinder 415 extends to its maximum length, the first vacuum suction cup 417 flips downward to a vertical position, and the front and rear positions of the first side rail cylinder 410 are adjusted. The suction force generated by the vacuum generator fixes the flight control board 101 to be tested. Then, the first mini telescopic cylinder 415 is shortened to its shortest stroke, and the translation slider 405 moves to the right until the second laser positioner 508 of the second detection module 5 detects the designated positioning point of the flight control board and stops moving. After receiving the photo-taking command issued by the background control system, the second industrial camera 509 collects the front image data of the flight control board and compares and analyzes the collected image with the image of a qualified UAV flight control board. The background control system records the front detection result of the flight control board. The translation slider 405 continues to move to the right until it reaches a position directly opposite the second vacuum suction cup 513 of the second detection module 5 and stops moving. The positions of the first side rail cylinder 410 and the second side rail cylinder 506 are adjusted so that the second vacuum suction cup 513 contacts the surface of the flight control board. The vacuum generator connected to the second vacuum suction cup 513 generates an adsorption force to fix the flight control board, and the vacuum generator connected to the first vacuum suction cup 417 releases the flight control board, completing the handover and surface-changing adsorption of the flight control board. Then, the translation slider 405 continues to move to the left until the first laser positioner 412 of the first detection module 4 detects the designated positioning point of the flight control board and stops moving. After receiving the photo-taking command from the background control system, the first industrial camera 413 collects the image data of the back of the flight control board and compares and analyzes the collected image with the image of a qualified UAV flight control board. The background control system records the detection results of the back of the flight control board and, by combining the detection results of the front and back sides, determines whether there are any defects in the appearance of the flight control board. If there are no defects in the flight control board, a command is sent to the second detection module 5 to extend the second mini telescopic cylinder 511 to its maximum length, flip the second vacuum suction cup 513 downward to a vertical position, and adjust the front and rear positions of the second side rail cylinder 506. The suction force is disconnected by the vacuum generator, and the flight control board with no defects is then removed. The flight control board 102 is placed back on the first conveyor belt 2. If the flight control board is defective, a command is sent to the second detection module 5 to make the rotary motor 503 work, driving the gear 504 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the driven gear 505, the rotating bracket 502 drives the second side rail cylinder 506 and the structural components mounted on it to turn to the second conveyor belt 3. After rotating 90°, it stops, and the second mini telescopic cylinder 511 is extended to its maximum length. The second vacuum suction cup 513 flips downward to a vertical position, and the front and rear positions of the second side rail cylinder 506 are adjusted. The suction force is disconnected by the vacuum generator, and the defective flight control board 103 is transferred to the second conveyor belt 3. Thus, the double-sided appearance defect detection and sorting of defective flight control boards 103 of the UAV flight control board in the production line are automatically realized.After completing the above actions, the first detection module 4 and the second detection module 5 return to their initial state and prepare for the next test of the flight control board 101.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
