Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of appearance inspection technology, and in particular to an appearance inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] In beverage production, the inspection of the appearance and markings on canned beverage bottles is an essential step in controlling product quality, ensuring compliance with standards, and preventing substandard products from entering the market. Currently, the industry generally integrates vision inspection mechanisms into automated production equipment; however, setting up multiple vision inspection stations within a single automated production line increases the need for mechanical hardware and other components, thus raising the cost of manufacturing such automated equipment.

[0003] Furthermore, defective products detected during beverage production and those generated during factory turnover require rework. Reworked products then undergo a second inspection for appearance and markings. Currently, this inspection can only be conducted manually or using automated production equipment. However, manual inspection is only feasible when the number of reworked products is small and cannot guarantee accuracy. When the number of reworked products is large, the automated production equipment must be paused, and visual inspection stations must be used instead. This disrupts the normal production flow and reduces efficiency. These shortcomings are what those skilled in the art hope to overcome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. This invention provides an appearance inspection device that improves production efficiency and reduces equipment costs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An appearance inspection device for inspecting the appearance and markings of canned beverage bottles, comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A conveyor mechanism, mounted on a frame, is used to transport canned beverage bottles;

[0009] An inspection mechanism, mounted on a frame, is used to inspect the appearance and markings of canned beverage bottles transported by a conveyor mechanism. The inspection mechanism includes a lightbox mounted above the conveyor mechanism, a light source assembly inside the lightbox that emits light into the lightbox, and multiple image acquisition components mounted on the lightbox. The lightbox has a first opening and a second opening on its two side walls, respectively. The first and second openings are positioned along the direction in which the canned beverage bottles are transported by the conveyor mechanism. The image acquisition components are positioned at different locations within the lightbox to capture images of the canned beverage bottles from different angles.

[0010] The control mechanism is mounted on the frame and is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism and the detection mechanism, respectively.

[0011] A conveying mechanism is used to transport canned beverage bottles. The detection mechanism includes a light box, a light source assembly, and multiple image acquisition components. The light box is positioned above the conveying mechanism, with a first opening and a second opening on each side wall. These openings are aligned with the conveying direction of the mechanism, allowing the conveying mechanism to transport the canned beverage bottles through the first opening into the light box for detection. After detection, the conveying mechanism outputs the canned beverage bottles through the second opening. The light source assembly illuminates the canned beverage bottles. Multiple image acquisition components positioned at different locations within the light box allow for simultaneous image capture and detection of the canned beverage bottles from various angles, improving work efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the frame is provided with an installation area; the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt disposed in the installation area and a conveyor belt fixing member disposed in the frame and used to fix the conveyor belt in the installation area.

[0013] Preferably, the conveyor belt is adapted to the installation area; the upper surface of the conveyor belt is higher than the top surface of the frame. This avoids the top surface of the frame blocking light, which could lead to poor imaging results.

[0014] Furthermore, the detection mechanism also includes a sensor assembly disposed at a predetermined position within the lightbox and electrically connected to the control mechanism; the sensor assembly is used to detect the canned beverage bottle and transmit a signal to the control mechanism; when the sensor assembly detects the canned beverage bottle, the control mechanism controls the conveying mechanism to stop operating and positions the canned beverage bottle at the predetermined position. Preferably, the image acquisition assembly includes a bracket disposed within the lightbox and a camera disposed on the bracket; the camera passes through the lightbox and faces the predetermined position. By setting the sensor assembly, the canned beverage bottle on the conveying mechanism stops after being transported to the predetermined position, and the canned beverage bottle is positioned at the predetermined position, facilitating subsequent photographic detection.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the light box is provided with a first diffuse reflection layer for diffuse reflection of light; the light source assembly includes a first light source element and a second light source element respectively disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism; the first light source element and the second light source element are disposed opposite each other and located at the bottom of the light box; both the first light source element and the second light source element are U-shaped and adapted to the shape of the bottom of the light box. By setting the light source assembly at the bottom of the light box and emitting light towards the inside of the light box, the first diffuse reflection layer on the inner wall of the light box diffuses the light, making the light inside the light box uniform and forming a high shadowless light effect, which is beneficial to improving the lighting effect on canned beverage bottles, thereby improving the image quality.

[0016] Furthermore, the detection mechanism also includes a first lifting door assembly disposed at the first opening and a second lifting door assembly disposed at the second opening;

[0017] The first lifting door assembly includes a first door panel slidably disposed outside the light box and used to cover the first opening, and a first drive unit electrically connected to the control mechanism and used to drive the first door panel to move up and down; the second lifting door assembly includes a second door panel slidably disposed outside the light box and used to cover the second opening, and a second drive unit electrically connected to the control mechanism and used to drive the second door panel to move up and down.

[0018] Preferably, the first lifting door assembly further includes a third sensor disposed at the bottom of both sides of the first opening and electrically connected to the control mechanism, for detecting canned beverage bottles and transmitting signals to the control mechanism; the control mechanism controls the first drive unit to drive the first door panel to perform lifting and lowering movements;

[0019] The second lifting door assembly also includes a fourth sensor, which is respectively disposed at the bottom of both sides of the second opening and electrically connected to the control mechanism, for detecting canned beverage bottles and transmitting signals to the control mechanism; the control mechanism controls the second drive unit to drive the second door panel to move up and down. By setting the third and fourth sensors, it is confirmed whether there are any objects interfering at the first and second openings. Subsequently, the control mechanism controls the first drive unit to drive the first door panel to move up and down, and the control mechanism controls the second drive unit to drive the second door panel to move up and down, thereby improving the automation level of the appearance detection device.

[0020] Preferably, both the side of the first door panel facing the interior of the light box and the side of the second door panel facing the interior of the light box are provided with a second diffuse reflection layer for diffuse reflection of light. When the first drive unit moves the first door panel downwards to cover the first opening, and the second drive unit moves the second door panel downwards to cover the second opening, the first door panel, the second door panel, and the light box form a sealed space. The second diffuse reflection layer provided on the side of the first door panel facing the interior of the light box and the side of the second door panel facing the interior of the light box makes the light inside the light box more uniform, further improving the lighting effect on the canned beverage bottle, thereby improving the image quality.

[0021] Furthermore, the appearance inspection device also includes a display mechanism mounted on the frame for displaying inspection results; the display mechanism includes a mounting bracket mounted on the frame and a display mounted on the mounting bracket; the display is electrically connected to the control mechanism. By setting up a display mechanism, the inspection results of the product can be displayed intuitively, which is beneficial for staff to make timely adjustments to deficiencies in the production process.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. An appearance inspection device of the present invention includes a conveying mechanism for transporting canned beverage bottles. The inspection mechanism includes a light box, a light source assembly, and multiple image acquisition components. The light box is positioned above the conveying mechanism, with a first opening and a second opening on each of its two side walls, arranged along the conveying direction of the mechanism. This allows the conveying mechanism to transport the canned beverage bottles from the first opening into the light box for inspection. After inspection, the conveying mechanism outputs the canned beverage bottles from the second opening. By using multiple image acquisition components positioned at different locations within the light box, the canned beverage bottles can be photographed from various angles. Simultaneous image acquisition by multiple image acquisition devices improves work efficiency. The appearance inspection device is suitable for inspecting reworked products with appearance defects. Reworked products do not need to be inspected in automated production equipment, thus avoiding disruption to the normal production process and improving production efficiency.

[0024] 2. The appearance inspection device is an independent module that can be used in conjunction with existing automated equipment, solving the problem of high costs associated with setting up multiple vision inspection stations in existing automated production equipment.

[0025] 3. By setting a first diffuse reflection layer on the inner wall of the light box, the light source component is located at the bottom of the light box and emits light towards the inside of the light box. The first diffuse reflection layer diffuses the light, making the light inside the light box uniform and forming a high shadowless light effect, which is beneficial to improving the lighting effect and imaging quality of canned beverage bottles, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
