DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] The light guide plate detection device includes: a conveyor 10 for conveying the light guide plate 40, the conveyor 10 includes a feeding end and a discharging end; a second magnet 41, which is engaged and arranged on both sides of the light guide plate 40; a dust removal component, the dust removal component includes a dust removal frame 20 arranged on both sides of the conveyor 10 and a dust suction pipe 21 fixedly arranged on the dust removal frame 20, the dust suction pipe 21 has a dust removal cavity, and the dust suction pipe 21 is provided with an opening connected to the dust removal cavity at one end located outside the dust removal frame 20, and a through hole 211 connected to the dust removal cavity is provided on the dust suction pipe 21, a driving member is provided on the dust removal frame 20 and below the dust suction pipe 21, a sealing sleeve 25 is provided on the driving member, the sealing sleeve 25 is slidably connected to the surface of the dust suction pipe 21, and the driving member responds to the second magnet 41 to push the sealing sleeve 25 to move and open the through hole 211; a detection component is provided at the discharging end of the conveyor 10.

[0033] A dust collector is provided above the dust removal frame 20, and the second magnet 41 with a C-shaped cross-section is clamped to both sides of the light guide plate 40, which can effectively avoid the problem of corner collision during its transportation. When the light guide plate 40 enters from the feeding end of the conveyor 10 and the light guide plate 40 is transported on the conveyor 10, when the driving member on the conveyor 10 is adjacent to the second magnet 41, the driving member will move in the direction away from the second magnet 41. At this time, the driving member drives the sealing sleeve 25 to move and open the through hole 211, so that the opening of the corresponding dust suction pipe 21, under the action of negative pressure, sucks the dust on the surface of the light guide plate 40 into the dust suction pipe 21, and then enters the dust collector through the through hole 211. Figure 3 The driving members on the conveyor 10 can be opened one by one along the conveying direction of the light guide plate 40, and as the light guide plate 40 moves on the conveyor, the driving members separated from the light guide plate 40 will return to their initial positions, so that the sealing sleeve 25 seals the through hole 211. Figure 2 Therefore, the dust removal component on the conveyor 10 can be opened according to the position of the light guide plate conveyed, and efficient dust collection can be performed at a fixed point, which can reduce the waste of wind power, improve the surface smoothness of the light guide plate 40, and eliminate the influence of dust on the light guide plate 40 on the detection results of the light guide plate 40.

[0034] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The driving member includes a moving rod 22 that is movably plugged into the dust removal frame 20. A magnet 24 is provided at one end of the moving rod 22 located outside the dust removal frame 20. The corresponding surfaces of the magnet 24 and the magnet 2 41 have the same magnetic properties. A spring 23 is wound around the surface of the moving rod 22 and located between the magnet 24 and the dust removal frame 20. The end of the moving rod 22 located inside the dust removal frame 20 is fixedly connected to the sealing sleeve 25. Specifically, since the corresponding surfaces of the magnet 24 and the magnet 2 41 have the same magnetic properties, the magnetic repulsion The action of the dust collector will push the moving rod 22 to move away from the light guide plate 40, so that the moving rod 22 drives the sealing sleeve 25 to move on the surface of the dust suction tube 21, so that the through hole 211 on the dust suction tube 21 is opened. Under the action of the dust collector, dust can enter the dust suction tube 21 on the opened through hole 211. When the magnet 2 41 is separated from the magnet 1 24, under the action of the restoring elastic force of the spring 1 23, the spring 1 23 pushes the moving rod 22 to return to its initial position, and the moving rod 22 drives the sealing sleeve 25 to cover and close the through hole 211.

[0035] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The magnetic force between the magnet 1 24 and the magnet 2 41 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 1 23. When the magnetic repulsive force between the magnet 1 24 and the magnet 2 41 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 1 23, the moving rod 22 can be ensured to move and open the through hole 211.

[0036] In order to prevent the light guide plate 40 from being deflected by the driving member during the conveying process, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conveyor 10 is detachably connected to a baffle 11, which can limit the conveying direction of the light guide plate 40 to avoid deviation that affects the movement of the driving member.

[0037] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 The detection component includes an inspection platform 30 arranged at the discharge end of the conveyor 10, and a camera 36 is arranged directly above the inspection platform 30 through a bracket. A light source unit is provided on the inspection platform 30 and at one end away from the conveyor 10. Specifically, the conveyor 10 conveys the light guide plate 40 to the inspection platform 30, and the light source unit is turned on. The light source unit injects a light beam from one side of the light guide plate 40. When the light hits the various light guide points inside the light guide plate 40, the reflected light will diffuse to various angles and then be emitted from the front of the light guide plate 40, so that the surface of the light guide plate 40 is evenly illuminated. The camera 36 arranged vertically above the light guide plate 40 captures the luminous condition of the light guide plate 40, and analyzes the captured image through a computer to detect the optical performance of the light guide plate 40 and to determine whether the light guide plate 40 is qualified.

[0038] In order to avoid mutual influence of light sources, the light source unit includes a fixed base 31 arranged on the detection platform 30, and multiple groups of partitions are arranged in the cavity of the fixed base 31. The multiple groups of partitions divide the cavity of the fixed base 31 into multiple groups of placement cavities along the extension direction of the fixed base 31. Light sources 33 are arranged in the placement cavities, and the light sources 33 are separated by partitions to avoid the light emitted by two adjacent groups of light sources 33 affecting the shooting effect of the camera 36.

[0039] In order to turn on the light source 33 of the corresponding length according to the length of the light guide plate 40, so as to avoid the extra light source 33 affecting the detection effect, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The placement cavity is directly opposite to the conveyor 10 and is movably connected with a movable sleeve 32. The movable sleeve 32 is provided with a receiving cavity for the light source 33 to emit. The inner wall of the placement cavity is provided with a press switch 34 on both sides of the light source 33. The press switch 34 is electrically connected to the light source 33. The movable sleeve 32 is located in the placement cavity and has an enlarged end. The surface of the movable sleeve 32 is located in the placement cavity and is wound with a spring 2 35. Specifically, the movable light guide plate 40 squeezes the movable sleeve 32, and the movable sleeve 32 drives The expanded end pushes the press switch 34, at which time the light source 33 is powered on and turned on, and a light beam is emitted from the accommodating cavity of the movable sleeve 32. Without the movable sleeve 32 squeezed by the light guide plate 40, the light source 33 will not be powered on and turned on. Therefore, the light source unit of the corresponding length can be turned on according to the width of the light guide plate 40, and when the light guide plate 40 is separated from the movable sleeve 32, the restorative elastic force of the spring 2 35 will push the movable sleeve 32 to return to its initial position. At this time, since no press switch is pressed, the light source 33 will be powered off.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] In order to cooperate with the technical solution described in the first embodiment, a detection method of a light guide plate detection device is provided, which adopts any light guide plate detection device described in the first embodiment, including the following steps:

[0042] S1: clamp the second magnet 41 to both sides of the light guide plate 40, and then let the light guide plate 40 enter the conveyor 10 from the feeding end;.

[0043] S2: When the light guide plate 40 is transported on the conveyor 10, when the driving member on the conveyor 10 is adjacent to the second magnet 41, the driving member moves away from the second magnet 41. At this time, the driving member drives the sealing sleeve 25 to move, opening the through hole 211, so that the corresponding opening of the dust suction pipe 21 is sucked into the dust suction pipe 21 under the action of negative pressure, and then enters the dust collector through the through hole 211;

[0044] S3: As the light guide plate 40 moves on the conveyor 10, the driving member separates from the light guide plate 40 and returns to its initial position, so that the sealing sleeve 25 seals the through hole 211;

[0045] S4: The conveyor 10 conveys the conduit light to the detection component position for detection.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
