As the rotating disk rotates, the product then passes through the QR code marking unit for laser QR code marking of the qualified product. Finally, the barcode reading unit reads the barcode of the qualified product and records it. During these tests, if an NG (unqualified) item is detected during any inspection, the display on the device control panel will indicate the defective item. The defective product will not be QR-coded when passing the QR code marking unit. The product will be transferred to the defective product station, where a robotic arm will automatically pick it up and place it in the defective product box. The equipment will then read the barcode of the qualified product and record the data. Once all tests pass, the product returns to the opening (i.e., the manual position), and the qualified product is removed from the product carrier. The cycle repeats again, with uninspected products placed in the carrier. This allows for simultaneous appearance and functional continuity testing of the product and automatic rejection of defective products, saving time and effort while achieving excellent inspection results.

[0017] 3. The connector appearance inspection device is provided with universal wheels, which makes it easy to move the connector appearance inspection device and effectively adjust the position, saving time and effort. After the position adjustment of the connector appearance inspection device is completed, the threaded rod is rotated to make the lower end of the threaded adjustment foot contact the ground, further ensuring the stability of the connector appearance inspection device.
