The marking assembly 8 includes a three-axis moving frame 81 and a marking head 82 fixed to the side of the three-axis moving frame 81. The three-axis moving frame 81 is fixed to the top of the detection table 1. The three-axis moving frame 81 is used to drive the marking head 82 to move back and forth, left and right, and up and down.

[0061] The detection steps of the intelligent appearance detection device for circuit boards are as follows:

[0062] Step 1: The right-end bracket 3 removes the circuit board from the storage part 9 and places it on the conveying mechanism 2 for forward conveyance;

[0063] Step 2: Perform appearance inspection and adjustment. The inspection mechanism 4 acquires the surface image of the circuit board, and the recognition and judgment module recognizes the wrinkles and dust on the surface of the circuit board. The flipping component 1 5 flips the circuit board that passes the inspection, and the cleaning mechanism 6 processes the circuit board that fails the inspection, including removing the dust and debris on the surface of the circuit board, stretching the circuit board, and flipping the circuit board;

[0064] Specifically, when the recognition and judgment module recognizes that the surface of the circuit board captured by the camera 43 is smooth and dust-free, it is considered to pass the inspection, and in other cases, it fails the inspection and is processed by the cleaning mechanism 6;

[0065] It should be noted that the surface captured by the left camera 43 is called the front side, and the surface captured by the right camera 43 after flipping is called the back side; the forward conveyance direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is from right to left.

[0066] When the front side of the circuit board passes the inspection, the right flipping component 1 5 flips the circuit board and then inspects the back side of the circuit board. When the back side also passes the inspection, the left flipping component 1 5 flips the circuit board again so that the front side of the circuit board faces up;

[0067] When the front side of the circuit board fails the inspection, the cleaning mechanism 6 processes the circuit board;

[0068] Specifically, when the recognition and judgment module recognizes that there is dust and wrinkles on the front side of the circuit board, the recognition and judgment module further recognizes and obtains the area ratio of the dust area and the area ratio of the wrinkle area. The area ratio of the dust area is denoted as a, and the area ratio of the wrinkle area is denoted as b. A threshold for the area ratio is set in the recognition and judgment module, and the threshold is denoted as N, and N is specifically set according to actual needs.

[0069] Case 1: When a ≥ N, the inside of the box body 611 is self-cleaned, and the cleaning part 7 performs rolling cleaning without flipping and then re-detection: ① The cleaning part 7 on the cleaning component 63 is close to the side of the inside of the box body 611 near the conveying mechanism 2 and is located above the flipping door 612; ② The flipping component two 62 clamps the circuit board. When the cylinder pushes the slider two 621 to slide towards the conveying mechanism 2, the movable plate 615 also moves towards the conveying mechanism 2 along with the slider two 621, discharging the gas inside the box body 611. Meanwhile, the driving part five 78 starts to drive the outer tube 73 to rotate clockwise by a small angle, so that part of the air passage 77 corresponding to the air outlet cavity 75 faces downwards, that is, the air passage 77 is still in communication with the air hole 76, but the air passage 77 is in a downward state; ③ The air pump connected to the air outlet cavity 75 starts to pump out the air inside the air outlet cavity 75. At this time, the pumped gas is the gas discharged from the inside of the box body 611, achieving the effect of self-cleaning and dust removal inside the box body 611; ④ When clamping the circuit board into the box body 611, maintain the above state until the circuit board completely enters the box body 611 and the flipping door 612 is closed; ⑤ The driving part five 78 starts to drive the outer tube 73 to rotate circumferentially, so that the brush hair 79 removes the dust and debris on the surface of the circuit board. Meanwhile, the air pump connected to the air inlet cavity 74 starts to introduce gas into the air inlet cavity 74, which can blow away the dust and debris on the surface of the circuit board. The air pump connected to the air outlet cavity 75 pumps out the air inside the air outlet cavity 75 to recover the blown dust and debris, achieving the effect of dust removal; ⑥ After the dust removal is completed, when the flipping component two 62 places the circuit board back on the conveying mechanism 2, maintain the state of step ③ above at the same time. The conveying mechanism 2 conveys reversely, and is re-photographed by the left camera 43, and this step is repeated.

[0070] Case 2: When a < N, the inside of the box body 611 is self-cleaned, and the cleaning part 7 flips after rolling cleaning: The processing method is based on Case 1, and step ⑥ is replaced by the flipping component two 62 clamping both ends of the circuit board and flipping the circuit board. Then, when placing the circuit board back on the conveying mechanism 2, maintain the state of step ③ above at the same time. At this time, the conveying mechanism 2 is still conveying forward;

[0071] Case 3: When b ≥ N, the circuit board is not processed, and the corresponding circuit board is scrapped and marked by the subsequent marking component 8;

[0072] Case 4: When b < N, the circuit board is stretched and then detected: The flipping component two 62 clamps the circuit board and enters the interior of the box body 611. When clamping the circuit board, the clamping force detected by the pressure sensor remains within the set range. The specific set range is set manually. At the same time, the driver five 78 starts to drive the outer tube 73 to rotate counterclockwise by a small angle, so that part of the air passage 77 corresponding to the air inlet chamber 74 faces downward, that is, the air passage 77 is still in communication with the air hole 76, but the air passage 77 is in a downward state. At the same time, the air pump connected to the air inlet chamber 74 starts, and the heating device heats up, and hot air is introduced into the air inlet chamber 74 to heat the surface of the circuit board; then the cylinder two 624 extends by a set elongation amount to stretch the clamped circuit board. The specific elongation amount is set manually; after the stretching is completed, the flipping component two 62 places the circuit board back on the conveying mechanism 2, and the conveying mechanism 2 conveys reversely, and is re-photographed by the left camera 43, and this step is repeated.

[0073] It should be noted that when there are both dust and wrinkles on the front side of the circuit board, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 4 can be carried out synchronously; when Case 3 occurs, if Case 1 and Case 2 occur simultaneously, it is still processed in the manner of Case 3, and Case 1 and Case 2 are not processed; in this step, the repeated detection is only carried out once. If the repeated detection is still unqualified, the abnormal area is marked by the marking component 8; after the front side of the circuit board is detected, the reverse side detection method is the same as the front side detection method.

[0074] Step 3: The marking component 8 marks the abnormal area on the surface of the circuit board.

[0075] Step 4: The left end bracket 3 lifts the detected circuit board into the storage part 9 for storage.

[0076] Through the above steps, the wrinkles and dust on the surface of the printed circuit board can be quickly detected, and the dust and wrinkles can be removed according to the area ratio of the wrinkles and dust, improving the appearance detection efficiency and quality of the printed circuit board.
