[0011] a shell;

[0012] A pushing mechanism is arranged in the shell and includes a pushing member and a sensor. The pushing member is slidingly connected to the shell. The sensor is connected to or disconnected from the pushing member. When the pushing member pushes the material towards the detection unit, the sensor is disconnected from the pushing member. When the pushing member stops pushing the material, the sensor is connected to the pushing member.

[0013] A first elastic member is arranged between the outer circumferential surface of the pushing member and the shell to automatically reset the pushing member; and / or,

[0014] A connecting rod penetrates the pushing member and extends to the outer circumferential surface of the pushing member. The shell is provided with a clearance groove on both sides. The two ends of the connecting rod are slidingly arranged in the clearance grooves, respectively; and,

[0015] A folding mechanism includes a first rotating member arranged on one side of the shell, a second rotating member arranged on the side of the first rotating member away from the shell and rotatingly connected to the first rotating member, a clamping portion arranged on the first rotating member, and a positioning member arranged on the second rotating member and detachably connected to the clamping portion.

[0016] Further, the pushing unit further includes a guide mechanism arranged on one side of the shell, which includes:

[0017] A guide frame is recessed from the upper surface of the guide frame towards the interior of the guide frame to sequentially form a first groove and a second groove. The shell is arranged in the first groove.

[0018] A guide support wheel is rotatingly arranged in the second groove to support the shell slidingly fitted in the first groove.

[0019] Further, the pushing unit further includes:

[0020] A support frame is oppositely arranged between the shell and the first rotating member.

[0021] A first driving mechanism is connected to the shell to drive the shell to move the pushing mechanism to push the material.

[0022] The folding mechanism, the guide mechanism, and the first driving mechanism are arranged in the support frame.

[0023] Further, the discharging unit includes:

[0024] A pushing arm;

[0025] A pushing plate is connected to the pushing arm and encloses a clearance groove.

[0026] The pushing block is arranged on one side of the pushing plate facing the pushing arm, is arranged in the avoiding groove, and is hinged to the pushing plate to adjust the distance of the stop block relative to the material.

[0027] Through the cooperative design of the pushing arm, the pushing plate and the pushing block, the distance relative to the material can be adjusted, the pushing position of the material can be flexibly controlled, the movable arrangement of the pushing block enables the stop block to adapt to materials of different sizes or positions, the adjustability of the distance of the stop block is realized, the universality of the discharging is improved, and the avoiding groove avoids structural interference. The combined design of the avoiding groove and the pushing block solves the problem of inconvenient adjustment of the traditional fixed stop block.

[0028] The pushing block is hinged to the pushing plate, so that the pushing block can be rotated to adjust the position of the stop block, the operation is simple and the structure is stable, and the pushing block is suitable for scenes requiring frequent adjustment and reduces mechanical wear. Thus, the hinged design enables the pushing block to be rotatable to adjust the position of the stop block, and the operation is simple; the stop block rotates between the pushing plate and the avoiding groove to avoid structural interference.

[0029] Further, the pushing block comprises a first matching block and a second matching block connected to each other, the first matching block is movably arranged in the avoiding groove, and the stop block is arranged at one end of the first matching block away from the second matching block.

By protruding from the end of the pushing plate away from the avoiding groove, the stop block can effectively block the material when blocking the material, so as to avoid material leakage or position deviation and improve the discharging accuracy.

[0035] The pusher plate engages with either the first mating block or the second mating block to achieve bidirectional limiting, ensuring balanced force distribution during pusher block movement. The second mating block's engagement with the pusher plate enhances stability and prevents wobbling. A magnetic structure secures the pusher block during material blocking, preventing displacement due to vibration or impact, and eliminates the need for additional locking components, simplifying operation. When not in use, the stop block is retracted between the pusher plate and the clearance groove, preventing interference with materials or equipment, saving space, and preventing damage from accidental collisions.

[0036] Furthermore, the detection unit is an automatic optical detection unit, used to analyze whether the material has poor solder joints and / or voids. If poor solder joints and / or voids are present, the material is deemed unqualified; otherwise, the material is deemed qualified.

The feeding unit is used to feed material to the detection unit or stop feeding material. The detection unit is used to collect images of the material, analyze whether the material is qualified based on the images, and transport qualified material to the discharging unit.

Therefore, this solder joint void detection system significantly improves reliability and material handling efficiency in automated production lines through its modular, adaptive, and low-interference design.
