Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quality inspection technology, and specifically refers to a visual inspection device for appearance defects of sheet metal. Background technology:
[0002] Appearance defects in sheet materials refer to surface defects caused by problems with raw materials, processes, and equipment during production or processing, such as scratches, cracks, bubbles, and dimensional deviations, which directly affect product quality and performance. Detecting these defects is crucial for ensuring product safety, optimizing processes, and reducing production costs. Current detection methods include traditional physical means such as manual visual inspection and magnetic particle testing, as well as intelligent detection technologies based on machine vision, laser scanning, and infrared thermal imaging. For example, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN 118988784 A discloses a board surface defect detection and rejection device, which includes a conveying mechanism, a flipping mechanism, an inspection mechanism, and a handling robot. This device uses the conveying mechanism and the flipping mechanism to flip the board surface on a complete conveyor line. With the assistance of front and back inspection components, the same board surface can be inspected on both sides on the same conveyor line, improving inspection efficiency and avoiding inspection errors caused by misplacement of boards during the inspection process. The intermittently rotating flipping mechanism allows the conveying mechanism and the flipping mechanism to form a continuous conveyor line, enabling continuous conveying of boards and simultaneous front and back inspection. The handling robot is used to handle and reject boards with defects, achieving the classification and categorization of qualified and defective boards.
[0003] In the aforementioned existing technologies, the appearance of boards is still mainly inspected manually by comparing them with samples. This method is inefficient and cannot guarantee quality. While visual inspection equipment for detecting and removing surface defects in boards requires flipping the boards during inspection, which necessitates a long production line and cannot inspect the sides of the boards, leading to missed defects.
[0004] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility Model Content:
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a visual inspection device for defects in the appearance of sheet materials.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a second support frame for mounting the left detection module and the right detection module is provided inside the housing, and a first X-axis motion module for driving the right detection module to move horizontally is provided on the second support frame.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a fresh air system is provided on the top of the enclosure, and a control computer is also provided on the outer wall of the enclosure.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the side-push correction module includes a left positioning guide wheel module disposed on one side of the first transmission belt module, a second X-axis motion module spanning across the first transmission belt module, and a right positioning guide wheel module suspended below the second X-axis motion module and used to cooperate with the left positioning guide wheel module to correct the plate. The right positioning guide wheel module is set at the same height as the left positioning guide wheel module, and the right positioning guide wheel module can move closer to and away from the left positioning guide wheel module as the second X-axis motion module moves.
[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the left positioning guide wheel module includes a support beam, an elastic buckle that can be detachably fastened to the support beam, multiple roller pins that are vertically mounted in parallel on the elastic buckle, and at least two guide wheels that are sleeved on the roller pins, wherein the guide wheels on adjacent roller pins are staggered.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the two ends of the elastic buckle are respectively provided with grooves and protrusions that can be fastened to each other. There are two grooves symmetrically arranged and located on the inner side, and two protrusions symmetrically arranged and capable of being fastened to the two grooves.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, a back inspection module, a front inspection module, a left inspection module, and a right inspection module are used to perform visual inspection on the board material in four directions in sequence. After the board material is passed through the first transmission belt module, the second transmission belt module, and the third transmission belt module, multiple defects on the board material can be detected in time. This allows for timely detection of scratches, bumps, stains, and other defects on the board material. It also helps to identify whether there are any cut defects on the board material's edges, whether the edge banding is scratched, bumped, poorly attached, or not properly attached, and whether there is any glue leakage. Furthermore, it helps to identify defects such as the diameter and position of the openings, the width and position of the grooves, and whether there are any defects in the openings and grooves.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a visual inspection device for sheet metal appearance defects includes: a first transmission belt module 1, a second transmission belt module 2, and a third transmission belt module 3 for connecting and transferring sheet metal A; a back inspection module 4 disposed between the first transmission belt module 1 and the second transmission belt module 2 for inspecting the bottom of sheet metal A; a front inspection module 5 disposed above the second transmission belt module 2 for inspecting the top of sheet metal A; a left inspection module 6 and a right inspection module 7 disposed between the second transmission belt module 2 and the third transmission belt module 3 for inspecting both sides of sheet metal A; and a side-pushing correction module 8 disposed above the first transmission belt module 1 for correcting the position of sheet metal A. The back inspection module 4, front inspection module 5, left inspection module 6, and right inspection module 7 are used to perform visual inspection on the four sides of the board A in sequence. This allows for the detection of defects on multiple sides of the board A after it is passed through the first transmission belt module 1, the second transmission belt module 2, and the third transmission belt module 3. This promptly identifies scratches, dents, stains, and cut defects on each side of the board A. It also checks for scratches, dents, improper adhesion, or glue leakage on the edge banding, as well as defects such as the diameter and position of openings, the width and position of grooves, and any chipping or breakage at the openings and grooves. Furthermore, the side-push correction module 8 on the first transmission belt module 1 corrects the position of the incoming board A, ensuring that boards A of different sizes remain flush against the left side of the transmission module and at the appropriate angle to each inspection module.
[0025] The second and third transmission belt modules 2 and 3 are covered by a housing 9 to support the front detection module 5, the left detection module 6, and the right detection module 7. Inside the housing 9 is a first support frame 91 for mounting the front detection module 5, and a first Z-axis motion module 92 for driving the front detection module 5 to move up and down. Inside the housing 9 is a second support frame 93 for mounting the left detection module 6 and the right detection module 7, and a first X-axis motion module 94 for driving the right detection module 7 to move horizontally. A fresh air system 95 is installed on the top of the housing 9, and a control computer 96 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 9. By using the first Z-axis motion module 92 and the first X-axis motion module 94 in the housing 9 to drive the front detection module 5 up and down and the right detection module 7 left and right, respectively, the detection of sheet materials A of different sizes and thicknesses can be achieved.
[0026] The side-push correction module 8 includes a left positioning guide wheel module 81 disposed on one side of the first transmission belt module 1, a second X-axis motion module 82 spanning across the first transmission belt module 1, and a right positioning guide wheel module 83 suspended below the second X-axis motion module 82 and used to cooperate with the left positioning guide wheel module 81 to correct the plate A. The right positioning guide wheel module 83 is set at the same height as the left positioning guide wheel module 81, and the right positioning guide wheel module 83 can move closer to and away from the left positioning guide wheel module 81 as the second X-axis motion module 82 moves.
[0027] The left-side positioning guide wheel module 81 includes a supporting beam 811, an elastic buckle 812 that is detachably fastened to the supporting beam 811, multiple roller pins 813 vertically mounted side-by-side on the elastic buckle 812, and at least two guide wheels 814 sleeved on the roller pins 813, wherein the guide wheels 814 on adjacent roller pins 813 are staggered. The elastic buckle 812 has interlocking grooves 812A and protrusions 812B at both ends, with two symmetrically arranged grooves 812A located on the inner side, and two symmetrically arranged protrusions 812B that can be fastened to the two grooves 812A. The elastic buckle 812 has multiple slots 812C for fastening the roller pins 813, and the roller pins 813 are also fitted with isolation sleeves 815 for separating the guide wheels 814.
[0028] In summary, during operation, the present invention places sheet A on the first transmission belt module 1, which then transfers sheet A to the second transmission belt module 2. The side-push correction module 8 guides and positions sheet A, ensuring that the transferred sheet A is oriented in the same direction and close to one side. Furthermore, when sheet A passes the back detection module 4, the back detection module 4 detects defects on the bottom of sheet A. Furthermore, when sheet A passes the front detection module 5, the front detection module 5 detects defects on the top surface of sheet A. Furthermore, when sheet A passes between the left detection module 6 and the right detection module 7, the left detection module 6 and the right detection module 7 respectively detect defects on both sides of sheet A. Moreover, when sheet A passes the back detection module 4, the front detection module 5, the left detection module 6, and the right detection module 7, the front and back of sheet A can be detected, thereby completing the appearance defect detection of each side of sheet A.
