[0002] Visual inspection is to use a camera instead of human eyes to perform inspection. It means that the appearance of the inspected object is converted into an analog signal through the machine's camera and transmitted to a dedicated image processing system. The system then converts the pixel distribution, brightness, color and other information in the image into digital signals. The image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the characteristics of the target, and then controls the equipment action on site based on the results of the judgment. This method is used to inspect the dimensional accuracy or appearance of the workpiece, which has the advantages of being fast, accurate and efficient compared to traditional manual inspection.

[0003] There are many institutions for product appearance inspection nowadays, but most of them can only clamp and inspect one surface at a time, and need to re-clamp the product to change the test surface.

When collecting the side appearance image, the rotating seat is controlled by the rotating motor to rotate 90° in sequence to complete the appearance image collection of the four sides of the product;

Its specific structure and working principle will not be further elaborated here.

[0058] The forward and backward moving mechanism 99 includes a moving block 991 which is movably arranged in the detection platform 91 and connected to the test platform 92, a moving cylinder 992 which is arranged on the detection platform 91 and connected to and drives the moving block 991 to move forward and backward, a limit seat 993 which is arranged on the detection platform 91 and is located below the test platform 92, and a limit hole 994 which is arranged in the limit seat 993, wherein the moving block 991 is movably arranged in the limit hole 994, and the structure of the forward and backward moving mechanism 99 is limited to achieve fine adjustment of the front and rear position of the product 10, so that the product 10 can be coaxially opposite to the fourth camera 972, ensuring that the fourth camera 972 completely scans and collects the front appearance graphics of the product 10.

[0059] A method for visual inspection of the multi-faceted appearance of a product, the inspection system described above performs inspection, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0060] Step 1, place one or more products 10 in one or more product slots 94 respectively, the negative pressure source 953 works to make the fixed suction nozzle 951 adsorb and fix the relative product 10, then the vertical moving mechanism 974 drives the fourth camera 972 to descend to the specified position, and at the same time, the front and rear moving mechanism 99 cooperates with the left and right moving component 982 to move the test platform 92 and the detection carrier 91 to the specified positions respectively, so that the product to be tested and the fourth camera 972 are coaxially opposite to each other up and down, and then the fourth camera 972 cooperates with the fourth coaxial light source 973 to scan and collect the front appearance image of the relative product 10, and then the left and right moving component 982 works to make the remaining multiple products move rightward one by one to the bottom of the fourth camera 972, and complete the scanning and collection of the front appearance image of the product to be tested;

[0061] Step 2, the left and right moving assembly 982 continues to work to drive the detection platform 91 to move rightward until the detection platform 91 and the fourth camera 972 are staggered up and down, the lateral driving mechanism 7 controls the moving seat 3 to drive the clamping device 4 to move above the detection platform, so that one or more clamping mechanisms 42 are opposite to one or more products 10 up and down, and then the lifting mechanism 43 controls the mounting frame 41 to drive one or more clamping mechanisms 42 to move downward to a certain position, the lifting cylinder 423 controls the lifting seat 422 to move downward so that the suction nozzle 425 at the front end of the rotating seat 424 adsorbs the front of the product 10, and then the lifting cylinder 423 controls the lifting seat 422 to move upward and reset, and the lifting mechanism 43 drives the mounting frame 41 to move upward and reset, completing the adsorption and clamping of the product 10, wherein, when the suction nozzle 425 adsorbs the product 10, the positioning column 4241 at the front end of the rotating seat 424 will first be embedded in the relative positioning hole 101 to limit the product 10, and the suction nozzle 425 then adsorbs the product 10 after the positioning column 4241 is limited;

[0062] Step 3, the lateral driving mechanism 7 drives the clamping device 4 to move above the first visual inspection device 5, so that one or more products are opposite to the first visual inspection device 5 up and down, and the lifting mechanism 43 controls the mounting frame 41 to move so that the side of the product 10 is opposite to the second visual inspection device 6, and the first camera 53 cooperates with the first coaxial light source 54 to scan and collect the appearance image of the back of the product, and then the second camera 63 cooperates with the second coaxial light source 64 to scan and collect the appearance image of the side of the product to be tested. After the image collection of the side to be tested is completed, the rotating motor 426 controls the rotating seat 424 to rotate 90° so that the other undetected side of the product 10 is opposite to the second camera 63 for appearance image scanning and collection, and the above operation is repeated until the appearance graphics scanning and collection of the four sides of the product 10 are completed;

[0063] Step 4, when the side of the product 10 needs to be tested for a limited inclination, the lateral driving mechanism 7 drives the clamping device 4 to move to the third visual inspection device 8, so that one or more products are opposite to one or more bottom cameras 81 up and down, and then the inclination angle between the third inspection frame 83 and the rotating seat 82 is adjusted to meet the limited inclination detection, and the lifting mechanism 43 controls the mounting frame 41 to move so that the side of the product 10 is opposite to the third camera 85, and then controls one or more auxiliary light sources 89 to work, so that the bottom camera 81 and the third camera 85 respectively scan and collect the appearance image of the bottom and side of the product. When collecting the side appearance image, the rotating seat 424 is controlled by the rotating motor 426 to rotate 90° in sequence to complete the appearance image collection of the four sides of the product 10;

[0064] Step 5: The graphics processing system processes the image information fed back by the first camera 53, the second camera 63, the bottom camera 81, and the third camera 85 to obtain multi-faceted appearance image information of the product.

[0065] The present application limits the structural composition of the visual inspection system, and through the vertically arranged first visual inspection device 5 and second visual inspection device 6, it can realize the appearance inspection of the back and four sides of the product 10 at one position, without the need to frequently change the inspection position; and specifically limits the structure of the clamping device 4, and further limits the structure of the clamping mechanism 42, and drives the rotating seat 424 to rotate 90° multiple times by the rotating motor 426, so as to perform appearance inspection on the four sides of the product 10 in turn, and the operation is simple, and there is no need to re-clamp the product 10 to replace the test surface. The overall equipment occupies a small space and is suitable for use in scenarios where equipment space is effective; in addition, a plurality of clamping mechanisms 42 are provided to facilitate the simultaneous clamping of multiple products 10 for inspection, thereby greatly improving the inspection speed.

That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
