During the production process, it is usually necessary to inspect the appearance of the positive and negative current collector plates of the batteries to ensure the qualified rate of the production of the positive and negative current collector plates.

[0003] During the appearance inspection of the positive and negative current collecting discs, a conveyor belt is usually used to move the product to be inspected to the position of the inspection camera, and a 3D camera is used to collect product images, and the image images are analyzed and processed. The 3D camera inspection method makes the efficiency and accuracy of the appearance inspection of the positive and negative current collecting discs low. Moreover, when the positive and negative current collecting discs after the inspection are transferred from the conveyor belt to the unloading conveyor belt, due to the friction resistance between the positive and negative current collecting discs and the belt, and the speed difference between the conveyor belt and the unloading conveyor belt, the positive and negative current collecting discs are easily blocked at the connection position between the conveyor belt and the unloading conveyor belt, which is not convenient for the transportation of the product to be inspected and the inspection of the positive and negative current collecting discs.

The product rotates with the rotating tray to the turntable detector, and the appearance of the product is detected.

[0057] (2) After the product is inspected by the present invention, it moves to one end of the unloading belt along with the rotating material tray, and the driving motor is used to drive the fixed plate and the movable block to rotate, so that one of the movable blocks is driven to move to the upper surface of the rotating material tray.

[0058] (3) In the present invention, when the movable block slides into the inner cavity of the fixed block, one end of the fixed block presses the limit block so that the limit block rotates around the fixed axis and enters the inner cavity of the accommodating groove.
