Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printed matter quality detection, in particular to a printing quality detection device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, packaging boxes are typically fully printed on all six sides, effectively enhancing brand value and providing key information to ensure compliance with market and legal regulations, thereby improving the product's overall competitiveness. After the packaging box has been printed, it is particularly important to conduct print quality inspections. This inspection process ensures that the printing on each side meets high standards, avoiding potential defects or inconsistencies, thereby maintaining brand image and enhancing consumer trust and satisfaction. Through rigorous print quality inspections, product performance can be guaranteed and the company's sustainable development can be promoted.
[0003] Existing packaging box printing quality inspection equipment usually includes a conveying structure with inspection cameras installed on the conveying structure (generally, inspection cameras are installed directly above the conveying structure and on both sides). When in use, the packaging box is placed on the conveying mechanism, and the conveying structure continuously transports the packaging box. During the process, the packaging box passes by the camera, thereby completing the printing quality inspection of the packaging box.
[0004] However, the detection equipment provided by the above patent still has the following deficiencies during use:
[0005] During the conveying process, the sides of the packaging box are prone to deviation from the conveying direction. When passing the side detection camera, the camera and the side of the packaging box are not perpendicular, and the image may be distorted due to the perspective effect. This distortion will cause part of the actual printed content to be blurred or distorted, reducing the accuracy of recognition.
[0006] The bottom surface of the packaging box is in contact with the conveying structure, making it difficult to complete the inspection of all surfaces in a single inspection process. Usually, a second placement inspection is required, which reduces the inspection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0039] 1. During the transportation of the packaging box, the packaging box enters between U-shaped frame 1 and U-shaped frame 2 under the guidance of the guide component. At this time, the packaging box is supported by two groups of conveying components. When the packaging box is directly under camera 3, the control module controls the conveying mechanism to stop running, and controls the front and rear detection components to descend to detect the front and back of the packaging box.

[0040] 2. The present invention coordinates the side limit assembly and the top limit assembly so that each side of the packaging box is perpendicular to the detection angle between the cameras at the corresponding positions, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results.
[0041] 3. In the correction component, the two electric push rods perform synchronous telescopic movement, so that the electric push rods perform periodic rotation movement about the pin shaft. The periodic rotation of the two correction plates can actively correct the packaging box, thereby ensuring that the packaging box can smoothly enter between the two side limit plates, thereby improving the working stability of the present invention.
[0042] 4. The synchronous downward sliding of the two connecting rods drives cameras 5 and 6 to inspect the front and back of the packaging box. During the process, the pressure strip is limited and blocked on the top surface of the packaging box. The spring is in a compressed state. The restoring elastic force of the spring causes the pressure strip to elastically press the joint between the two movable plates on the top surface of the packaging box, making the top surface of the packaging box in a stable and flat state, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the top surface of the packaging box.

[0066] Among them, the adjustment component includes a motor 13 electrically connected to the control module 6 and two fixed seats 12, the two fixed seats 12 are fixedly installed at the two end positions of the bottom surface of the U-shaped frame 2 11, a bidirectional screw 15 is rotatably installed between the two fixed seats 12, and two slide rods 16 symmetrically arranged about the bidirectional screw 15 are fixedly connected between the two fixed seats 12, and two slide seats 14 symmetrically distributed about the middle position of the bidirectional screw 15 are installed on the outer periphery of the bidirectional screw 15 in a through-threaded manner, and the slide seat 14 and the slide rod 16 are through-slidingly connected;

[0080] Among them, the front and rear detection components include an electric telescopic rod 38 fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the U-shaped frame 5. The electric telescopic rod 38 is electrically connected to the control module 6. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 38 is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 39 arranged parallel to the side panel 1. The bottom end of the mounting plate 39 is fixedly installed with a vertical connecting rod 40. The bottom end of the connecting rod 40 slides through the top surface of the U-shaped frame 5 to be fixedly installed with a mounting plate 41. The opposite sides of the two mounting plates 41 are respectively installed with a camera 5 47 and a camera 6 43;
[0081] A flattening assembly is installed between the two connecting rods 40 .
[0082] Existing inspection equipment can cause the sides of boxes to deviate from the conveyor direction during transport. As the boxes pass through the side inspection cameras, the camera is not perpendicular to the box's side, and the image may be distorted due to perspective. This distortion can blur or distort the actual printed content, reducing recognition accuracy. Furthermore, the bottom of the box contacts the conveyor structure, making it difficult to inspect all sides in a single inspection. A second placement inspection is often required, reducing inspection efficiency.
[0083] The printing quality detection device provided by the present invention is used:
[0084] Place the feeding end of the packaging box 42 on the conveying mechanism. During the conveying process, the packaging box 42 will pass between the U-shaped frame 1 5 and the U-shaped frame 2 11;
[0085] Before the inspection, the control module 6 is used to set the control adjustment component to adjust the distance between the two sets of side limit components to adapt to the length or width of the packaging box 42; at the same time, the control module 6 is used to set the working height of the top limit component to adapt to the height of the packaging box 42;
[0086] During the conveying process of the packaging box 42, the packaging box 42 enters between the U-shaped frame 1 5 and the U-shaped frame 2 11 under the guidance of the guide assembly. At this time, the packaging box 42 is supported by two groups of conveying assemblies. When the packaging box 42 is directly below the camera 3 10, the control module 6 controls the conveying mechanism to stop running, and controls the front and rear detection assemblies 7 to descend to detect the front and back sides of the packaging box 42. At the same time, the camera 3 10 detects the top surface of the packaging box 42, the camera 2 44 detects the bottom surface of the packaging box 42, and the camera 1 8 and the camera 4 28 respectively detect the two sides of the packaging box 42, so that the six sides of the packaging box 42 can be synchronously detected at the same time, effectively improving the detection efficiency.
[0087] Furthermore, by coordinating the side limiting components and the top limiting components, each side of the packaging box 42 is perpendicular to the detection angle between the cameras at the corresponding positions, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results.
[0088] In the conveying mechanism, the packaging box 42 is placed on the conveying roller 3, and the rotation of multiple conveying rollers 3 conveys the packaging box 42. When placing it, it should be noted that the joint of the top surface of the packaging box 42 needs to be parallel to the side panel 1, and it needs to be placed as centered as possible between the two side panels 1, so as to ensure the smooth entry of the packaging box 42 between the two side limit plates 23, and ensure the effectiveness of the top surface limit component in limiting the packaging box 42.
[0089] After the packaging box 42 enters between the two side limit plates 23, the two sides of the packaging box 42 contact the inner side surfaces of the two side limit plates 23, so that the left and right sides of the packaging box 42 can be parallel to the two sides of the U-shaped frame 5. As the packaging box 42 gradually enters the U-shaped frame 5, the bottom surface of the packaging box 42 gradually loses the support provided by the conveyor rollers 3, and is supported by the two sets of conveyor components on both sides of the bottom surface.
[0090] Specifically, in the conveying assembly, the second motor 37 drives the first pulley 19 to rotate, and cooperates with the second pulley 21 to keep the conveying direction of the belt 20 consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying roller 3. When the packaging box 42 is directly below the third camera 10, the packaging box 42 is completely supported by the two belts 20. At this time, the control module 6 controls the second motor 37 to stop running, so that the packaging box 42 is guaranteed to be in a position directly below the third camera 10.
[0091] The top surface of the packaging box 42 is usually in an unsealed state. Therefore, the two movable panels on the top surface of the packaging box 42 are normally in an inclined state, that is, there is an angle between them and the top surface. At this time, the camera 3 10 cannot detect at the optimal detection angle. The present invention solves the above problem by setting up a top surface limit assembly. Specifically, when the packaging box 42 enters between the two side limit plates 23, the two sides of the top surface of the packaging box 42 will be limited below the two upper limit plates 26, so that the two movable panels on the top surface of the packaging box 42 are in a flush state, allowing the camera 3 10 to detect the top surface of the packaging box 42 at a vertical angle.
[0092] When the packaging box 42 is directly below the camera three 10, the camera three 10, the camera two 44, the camera one 8 and the camera four 28 detect the corresponding sides of the packaging box 42, and at the same time, the electric telescopic rod one 38 is controlled to retract until the camera five 47 and the camera six 43 are respectively located at the front and back sides of the packaging box 42, thereby realizing the simultaneous and vertical detection angle detection of the six sides of the packaging box 42, thereby improving the detection efficiency and the accuracy of the detection results.
[0093] After the detection is completed, the control module 6 controls the front and rear detection components 7 to reset, and then moves the next packaging box 42 to the bottom of the camera 3 10, and repeats this process to achieve continuous detection.
[0094] The control module 6 may use a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The technology of using PLC to control the operation of the motor, electric telescopic rod and electric push rod belongs to the scope of existing technology. This control method has been widely used in the control systems of industrial automation, robots and various mechanical equipment.
[0095] Among them, detecting printing quality by using a camera is also an existing technology. Usually, the camera connects the collected images to a dedicated image processing computer or controller through USB, Ethernet or other interfaces for subsequent data processing, analysis and quality evaluation.
[0096] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 4 to 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11On the basis of Example 1, the correction component includes a U-shaped groove 29 provided at the end of the side limit plate 23, the U-shaped groove 29 is aligned with and penetrates the avoidance groove 31, and a pin 48 is fixedly installed between the top and bottom surfaces of the U-shaped groove 29;
[0097] It also includes a correction plate 30 and a mounting seat 32 fixedly mounted on the outer side of the side limit plate 23, and a hinge seat 34 fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting seat 32 at one end away from the side limit plate 23;
[0098] One end of the correction plate 30 is rotatably connected to the pin 48. A second hinge seat 35 is fixedly mounted on the side of the correction plate 30 near the side plate 1. An electric push rod 33 is mounted between the second hinge seat 35 and the first hinge seat 34. The electric push rod 33 is electrically connected to the control module 6. The electric push rod 33 is hinged to the correction plate 30 and the mounting seat 32 through the second hinge seat 35 and the first hinge seat 34 respectively.
[0099] When the electric push rod 33 is in the extreme extended state, the correction plate 30 is parallel to the side limit plate 23 , and the inner side surface of the correction plate 30 is flush with the inner side surface of the side limit plate 23 .
[0100] When the packing box 42 enters between the two side limit plates 23, the packing box 42 usually does not enter in a completely aligned state, so the following may occur: Figure 10 In the entry state shown, the packaging box 42 is blocked between the two guide plates 36;
[0101] In this embodiment, the control module 6 controls the two electric push rods 33 to perform synchronous telescopic movements, so that the electric push rods 33 perform periodic rotational movements about the camera six 43. The periodic rotation of the two correction plates 30 can actively correct the packaging box 42, thereby ensuring that the packaging box 42 can smoothly enter between the two side limit plates 23, thereby improving the working stability of the present invention.
[0102] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 9 On the basis of Example 2, the flattening assembly includes a pressure strip 45 provided between the two connecting rods 40, and both ends of the pressure strip 45 are respectively connected to the periphery of the two connecting rods 40 in a penetrating sliding manner;
[0103] Springs 46 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top surface of the pressure strip 45. The springs 46 are sleeved on the periphery of 49 at the corresponding positions, and the top of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the U-shaped frame 5.
[0104] After the packaging box 42 moves to the position directly below the camera 3 10, the two sets of top surface limiting components limit the two movable plates on the top surface of the packaging box 42 at both sides of the top surface of the packaging box 42, so that the top surface of the packaging box 42 tends to be flat. However, the cardboard material has a certain toughness, and in order not to affect the comprehensiveness of the camera 3 10 in detecting the top surface of the packaging box 42, the width of the upper limit plate 26 is selected to be a small value. Therefore, the butt joint side between the two movable plates on the top surface of the packaging box 42 may be tilted, resulting in the top surface of the packaging box 42 still being uneven after limiting, thereby adversely affecting the detection results.
[0105] In this embodiment, the synchronous downward sliding of the two connecting rods 40 drives camera five 47 and camera six 43 to detect the front and back of the packaging box 42. During the process, the pressure strip 45 is limited and blocked on the top surface of the packaging box 42, and the spring 46 is in a compressed state. The restoring elastic force of the spring 46 causes the pressure strip 45 to elastically press the joint between the two movable plates on the top surface of the packaging box 42, so that the top surface of the packaging box 42 is in a stable and flat state, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the top surface of the packaging box 42.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
