Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection robot technology, specifically a vision inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional assembly line production, the inspection of product labels or product appearance usually relies on manual visual inspection. Manual inspection is not only inefficient and prone to fatigue and missed inspections, but with the development of technology, visual inspection robots have emerged. These robots use machine vision to convert the captured target into image signals, which are then transmitted to a dedicated image processing system. Based on pixel distribution and information such as brightness and color, the signals are converted into digital signals. The image system performs various calculations on these signals to extract the target's features, and then makes judgments based on the results. However, most existing visual inspection robots are customized according to specific needs, and usually require large-scale modifications to the assembly line to integrate the inspection functions. This not only results in high costs but also increases the company's upgrade costs and production downtime, thus presenting certain shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

A second vision component 9 is installed on the sliding end of the first electric slide 8. A first vision component mounting plate 5 is installed between the two parallel columns of the U-shaped fixing frame 3. A first vision component 6 is installed on the bottom surface of the first vision component mounting plate 5. Sliding grooves 32 are provided on the side of the two parallel columns of the fixed frame 3 and the side of the two parallel columns of the sliding frame 4. Sliding blocks 5a are fixedly connected to both ends of the first vision component mounting plate 5. Threaded through holes are provided on the sliding blocks 5a. The sliding blocks 5a are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 32. The sliding blocks 5a are locked by locking bolts 14 and bolt grooves 33. An extension mounting plate 13 is fixedly installed on the sliding end of the second electric slide table 11. The third vision component 12 is installed at one end of the extension mounting plate 13. An extension mounting area 13a is provided at the other end of the extension mounting plate 13. The first vision component 6, the second vision component 9, and the third vision component 12 have identical structures, all consisting of a vision camera, auxiliary lighting, and a protective frame. The protective frame is located outside the vision camera. The vision camera is electrically connected to the circuit board inside the electrical control cabinet 2 via wires. A base 1 is installed at the bottom of the electrical control cabinet 2. Universal wheels 10 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1.
[0018] Furthermore, the U-shaped fixing bracket 3 has a notch on the column with the slider groove 32 for the slider 5a to be installed into the slider groove 32.
[0019] Furthermore, the first vision component 6, the first electric slide 8, the second vision component 9, the second electric slide 11, and the third vision component 12 are all electrically connected to the circuit board inside the control cabinet 2 via wires, and the wires of the first vision component 6, the first electric slide 8, and the second vision component 9 are reserved with sufficient length to ensure the normal adjustment of the first vision component 6 and the second vision component 9.
[0020] Furthermore, the extended installation area 13a is used to install push rods, spray guns, and other equipment used to detect defective products being pushed out or marked.
[0021] Furthermore, the U-shaped sliding frame 4 and the U-shaped fixed frame 3 are slidably connected by the sliding frame groove 31. The U-shaped sliding frame 4 can move along the sliding frame groove 31 to the outside of the U-shaped fixed frame 3, which facilitates the transportation of the device.
[0022] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this device is mainly used for the intelligent upgrading and transformation of traditional production lines. During use, the device is first flexibly adjusted according to the width and height of the production line. Pulling outwards the U-shaped sliding frame 4 adjusts the horizontal position of the second vision component 9. By controlling the operation of the second electric slide 11, the vertical height of the third vision component 12 can be adjusted. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the adjustment function of the first electric slide 8, the second and third vision components 9 and 12 are ensured to be at the optimal shooting distance, improving the accuracy of visual inspection. For the first vision component 6, its position on the U-shaped fixing frame 3 can be changed by sliding the first vision component mounting plate 5. Depending on the product, it can be inspected from above.
[0024] The second electric slide 11 is activated, which drives the extended mounting plate 13 and the third vision component 12 mounted on it to move vertically, enabling the third vision component 12 to accurately focus on the label position on the product surface. At the same time, the extended mounting area 13a can be equipped with push rods, spray guns and other equipment according to actual inspection needs. When a defective product is detected, the control program issues a command to drive the corresponding equipment to move, push the defective product out of the production line or mark it for subsequent processing. The automatic control program is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0025] The electrical control cabinet 2 serves as the control center of the entire device. Its upper touchscreen display provides operators with an intuitive interface for setting detection parameters and starting / stopping the detection program. Setting buttons enable quick functions such as taking photos and recording videos. The integrated circuit is responsible for high-speed processing and analysis of the image data transmitted from the vision components, determining whether the product labels meet requirements, and providing timely feedback. The lower power supply area uses relays, voltage regulators, and other components to ensure stable and reliable operation of the integrated circuit and other electrical components, preventing equipment failures due to voltage fluctuations.
[0026] All vision components are equipped with auxiliary lighting, providing ample illumination for the vision camera in low-light environments. This ensures the camera can clearly capture images of labels on product surfaces, thereby improving inspection accuracy. The protective frame effectively protects the vision camera from external impacts and other damage, extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0027] This device can be quickly adjusted according to the width and height of the production line, and can be used directly with the production line without the need for large-scale modification of the production line, which greatly reduces the upgrade cost for enterprises and improves production efficiency and the accuracy of product quality inspection.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
