By arranging an auxiliary air bag in the detection strip and connecting the auxiliary air bag with a control module, active driving and passive compensation are accurately coordinated. The second driving mechanism forms an arc-shaped state below the detection strip. Compared with an existing pure active system, the display screen defect detection equipment effectively solves the problem of insufficient curvature adaptation caused by rigid structure in the process of upward driving, avoids the compatibility problem of the traditional passive system which needs to reconstruct the equipment architecture, and significantly improves the adaptability of the detection equipment to multiple types of curved screens.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is a display screen defect detection device, belonging to the field of detection technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global consumer electronics industry, curved displays (such as OLED and AMOLED flexible screens) have been widely used in smartphones, smartwatches, automotive displays, and high-end TVs. These displays are highly favored by the market for their immersive visual experience and stylish design. However, their curved edge structure is extremely prone to micron-level defects during manufacturing, such as scratches, bright spots, dark spots, light leakage, or uneven edges. These defects not only affect the product's aesthetics but may also lead to functional failures or user health risks (such as excessive blue light exposure). Therefore, high-precision testing is essential before the product leaves the factory.

[0003] However, traditional flat panel display testing equipment cannot effectively cope with the unique challenges of curved screens. Due to the complex light reflection path caused by the curved structure, the camera viewing angle is distorted, and the curvature (i.e., radius of curvature) of different display models varies significantly (e.g., from 5R to 8R).

[0004] Existing display screen defect detection equipment generally uses a one-piece rigid detection strip, such as a metal or hard plastic structure, with a fixed shape that cannot dynamically bend according to the actual curvature of the display screen. This is because traditional equipment is mainly designed for flat panel screens and lacks forward-looking consideration for curved screens. When inspecting curved screens, the rigid detection strip cannot cover the display screen surface, especially its curved sides. However, the raised parts of the curved surface are overexposed due to the close proximity, while the recessed parts will have shadow areas. Because the overexposed areas are too bright, they can easily mask small defects, such as dark spots, while the shadowed areas are prone to generating false defect signals, such as misjudged scratches, due to insufficient brightness. Since existing detection equipment cannot adapt to the curvature of the display screen, it is easy to make misjudgments when inspecting curved screens. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a display screen defect detection device to solve the problems of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] A display screen defect detection device, comprising:

[0008] The machine base, the workbench set on the machine base, the workpiece fixing mechanism on the workbench for fixing the display screen, the detection strip located above the workbench, the first drive mechanism for driving the detection strip to move laterally, the second drive mechanism for driving the two ends of the detection strip to adjust the curvature, the third drive mechanism for controlling the lifting and lowering of the detection strip, multiple detection lights and multiple cameras installed on the detection strip, the recognition module for recognizing the curvature of the display screen, and the control module for controlling the second drive mechanism, the third drive mechanism and the detection lights;

[0009] The detection strip includes multiple rotatable and adjustable detection blocks at both ends, with adjacent detection blocks connected by a rotatable mechanism.

[0010] The control module is configured as follows:

[0011] The third driving mechanism controls the lifting height of the detection strip to the detection height. Based on the edge curvature data of the recognition display screen identified by the recognition module, the second driving mechanism is driven to adjust the curvature of both ends of the detection strip to match the edge curvature of the display screen.

[0012] The second driving mechanism includes auxiliary airbags disposed between adjacent detection blocks. Each auxiliary airbag is connected to a first air pump through a microchannel. Each microchannel is equipped with a solenoid valve that controls the inflation / deflation of all auxiliary airbags. The opening and closing time of the solenoid valve is controlled by the control module.

[0013] As a further improvement, the auxiliary airbag includes an outer sleeve, and a plurality of vertically arranged metal wires are arranged inside the outer sleeve. The ends of the metal wires are welded together. The outer sleeve is a sealing sleeve made of rubber material. Reinforcing wires are arranged between adjacent metal wires in the upper region.

[0014] As a further improvement, the second driving mechanism includes a first magnetic sheet disposed on one side of the detection block, a second magnetic sheet fixed inside the auxiliary airbag, and a third magnetic sheet disposed on the adjacent side of the adjacent detection block. The first and third magnetic sheets are of the same level and face each other. Through the cooperation of the second magnetic sheet, they simultaneously form an adsorption magnetic field with the first and third magnetic sheets.

[0015] As a further improvement, a directional lamp cover is provided on the outside of the detection lamp, and the camera is located on one side of the detection lamp. The directional lamp cover constrains the width of the illumination edge of the detection lamp, and the inclination angle inside the directional lamp cover is 20°-35°.

[0016] As a further improvement, an elastic strip is embedded and fixed in the lower region between adjacent detection blocks. A pleated part is provided in the middle of the elastic strip, and several traction strips are provided inside the pleated part. When the angle of the detection block is adjusted, the traction strips are stretched to unfold the pleated part, stabilizing the lower connection area of ​​the two detection blocks.

[0017] As a further improvement, an arc-shaped piece is installed on one side of the detection block adjacent to another detection block. The adjacent detection block has an arc-shaped groove on the side facing the arc-shaped piece, which mates with the arc-shaped piece. The arc-shaped piece is movably inserted into the adjacent arc-shaped groove. Several sensing pieces are embedded in the side of the arc-shaped piece, and a sensor is embedded in the side of the arc-shaped groove. The sensor is electrically connected to the control module. When the curvature of the detection block is adjusted, the arc-shaped piece is partially pulled out of the arc-shaped groove. The sensing pieces pass through the sensor, and the sensor determines the length of the arc-shaped piece pulled out. When the arc-shaped piece is pulled out by a preset length, the detection block reaches a preset curvature.

[0018] As a further improvement, a reset rope is provided at the end of the arc-shaped piece, and a micro motor is provided inside the detection block. The micro motor's rotating shaft is wound around the reset rope. The micro motor is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module controls the micro motor to drive the reset rope to wind up, thereby pulling the arc-shaped piece to reset.

[0019] As a further improvement, the first drive mechanism includes a guide rail fixedly installed inside the machine tool, a support frame laterally slidable inside the guide rail, a bidirectional motor installed above the inside of the machine tool, and a threaded rod installed at the drive end of the bidirectional motor. A threaded sleeve is provided inside the support frame, and the threaded rod is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve. The bidirectional motor is electrically connected to a control module. Through the cooperation of the control module and the bidirectional motor, the threaded rod is controlled to rotate forward / reverse, thereby cooperating with the threaded sleeve to drive the support frame to move laterally.

[0020] As a further improvement, the first drive mechanism includes an electric guide rod, the top of which is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the upper part of the middle of the detection strip. The electric guide rod is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module cooperates with the electric guide rod to control the vertical lifting and lowering of the detection strip.

[0021] As a further improvement, the workpiece fixing mechanism includes an adsorption nozzle disposed on the worktable, the adsorption nozzle corresponding to the positioning area below the display screen, the adsorption nozzle being connected to a second air pump installed in the machine tool, and the second air pump being electrically connected to the control module.

[0022] The recognition module is set on a recognition camera on one side of the working platform, and the recognition camera detects the curvature of the side of the display screen.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] This invention utilizes a second air pump in the workpiece fixing mechanism to drive the suction nozzle for precise adsorption of the positioning area below the display screen, eliminating mechanical vibration and displacement interference and ensuring stable optical path throughout the inspection process. It avoids light reflection disturbances caused by display screen movement, significantly reduces the masking effect of overexposure in raised areas on dark spots, and reduces scratch false signals caused by shadows in recessed areas, increasing the detection rate of micron-level defects to 99.5% and reducing production line setup time by 30%.

[0025] The detection strip dynamic curvature adjustment mechanism utilizes the synergistic effect of auxiliary airbags and magnetic adsorption. An embedded metal wire skeleton within the outer sheath constrains the deformation path, and the first, second, and third magnetic sheets form a closed-loop adsorption magnetic field, achieving real-time angle locking between detection blocks. This structure controls the curvature adaptation accuracy within ±0.02mm, completely eliminating the hysteresis and angle drift inherent in traditional pneumatic adjustments. This ensures uniform illumination without overexposure in raised areas and stable, shadow-free lighting in recessed areas, reducing the misjudgment rate of light leakage and edge unevenness defects by 55%.

[0026] By precisely constraining the beam width of the detection lamp with an internal tilt angle of 20°-35° using a directional lampshade, the light is perpendicularly incident on the curved screen at a critical angle, suppressing specular reflection and stray light interference. The matching between the incident angle and typical curvature radius is optimized, avoiding glare from large-curvature screens such as automotive displays and uneven illumination from small-curvature screens in smartwatches. Simultaneously, the camera captures high-contrast images, improving the image signal-to-noise ratio by 40%, significantly enhancing the reliability of identifying bright spots and light leakage defects.

[0027] By embedding elastic strips in the connecting area under the detection block, the traction strips built into the pleats unfold evenly under force during angle adjustment, providing dynamic elastic tension. This smoothly transitions the mechanical connection gaps, suppresses interference from high-frequency vibrations on optical components, controls the continuity deviation of the detection surface within ±0.01mm, eliminates image blurring caused by micro-displacement, extends the life of the equipment's mechanical components by 35%, and adapts to the quality inspection needs of automotive displays in high-vibration scenarios.

[0028] By integrating a sensing element and sensor through a structure that combines an arc-shaped plate and an arc-shaped groove, the system monitors the extension length of the arc-shaped plate in real time and feeds it back to the control module. Combined with a micro-motor driving the reset rope, precise reset is achieved. This avoids overshoot caused by airbag pressure fluctuations, compresses the curvature matching error to ±0.005mm, ensures that the detection block instantly locks onto the target curvature, and achieves a single adjustment response time of less than 50ms. The false judgment rate is further reduced by 25%, improving the repeatability and stability of detection across the entire curvature range.

[0029] The third drive mechanism uses a bidirectional motor to precisely engage the threaded rod and threaded sleeve, achieving smooth lateral displacement of the support frame within the guide rail. The first drive mechanism uses an electric guide rod to control the vertical lifting and lowering of the detection strip, and, combined with real-time curvature data acquired by the recognition camera, dynamically positions the detection lamp and camera to the optimal working distance. This coordination mechanism ensures that the optical path deviation is less than ±0.01mm, eliminates uneven illumination caused by height mismatch, and maintains a stable micron-level defect detection rate of over 99.6%. It is compatible with all product lines from smartphones to high-end TVs, reducing equipment maintenance costs by 40%. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] In the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-11 As shown, a display screen defect detection device includes:

[0046] The machine base 1, the workbench 11 set on the machine base 1, the workpiece fixing mechanism 27 on the workbench 11 for fixing the display screen 28, the detection strip 2 located above the workbench 11, the first drive mechanism for driving the detection strip 2 to move laterally, the second drive mechanism 3 for driving the two ends of the detection strip 2 to adjust the curvature, the third drive mechanism 26 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the detection strip 2, the multiple detection lights 23 and multiple cameras 4 installed on the detection strip 2, the recognition module for recognizing the curvature of the display screen 28, and the control module 5 for controlling the second drive mechanism 3, the third drive mechanism 26 and the detection lights 23;

[0047] The detection strip 2 includes multiple rotatable and adjustable detection blocks 21 at both ends, and adjacent detection blocks 21 are rotatably connected.

[0048] The control module 5 is configured as follows:

[0049] The third driving mechanism 26 is driven to control the lifting height of the detection strip 2 to the detection height. Based on the edge curvature data of the recognition display screen 28 obtained by the recognition module, the second driving mechanism 3 is driven to adjust the curvature of the two ends of the detection strip 2 to match the edge curvature of the display screen 28.

[0050] The second driving mechanism 3 includes auxiliary airbags 22 disposed between adjacent detection blocks 21. Each auxiliary airbag 22 is connected to the first air pump 275 through a microchannel 273. Each microchannel 273 is provided with a solenoid valve 274 for controlling the inflation / deflation of all auxiliary airbags 22. The opening and closing time of the solenoid valve 274 is controlled by the control module 5.

[0051] The recognition module acquires the edge curvature data of the display screen 28 in real time, and the control module 5 drives the second drive mechanism 3 accordingly. The auxiliary airbag 22 between adjacent detection blocks 21 is connected to the first air pump 275 and the solenoid valve 274 through the microchannel 273. The control module 5 precisely controls the opening and closing time of the solenoid valve 274 to control the inflation and deflation of the airbag, so that the rotation angle between the detection blocks 21 dynamically matches the curvature of the display screen 28.

[0052] For example, when detecting a small radius of curvature, the airbag inflates to push the detection block 21 inward; while the 8R screen with a larger radius of curvature deflates and slightly extends outward.

[0053] Simultaneously, the third drive mechanism 26 precisely raises and lowers the detection strip 2 to the optimal working height, ensuring uniform illumination by the detection lamp 23 and no distorted viewpoint by the camera 4. This eliminates blind spots caused by traditional rigid structures, prevents overexposure in raised areas to avoid missing dark spots, and eliminates shadows in recessed areas to prevent misjudgment of scratches, achieving reliable capture of micron-level defects such as light leaks and bright spots on the entire curved surface.

[0054] During operation, the display screen 28 is fixed to the worktable 11 by the workpiece fixing mechanism 27; the recognition module scans the edge and outputs the curvature data to the control module 5; the control module 5 first drives the third drive mechanism 26 to lower the detection strip 2 to the preset height, and then adjusts the airbag system based on the data command of the second drive mechanism 3 so that the curvature of the two ends of the detection strip 2 is adapted to the display screen 28 in real time.

[0055] Subsequently, the first drive mechanism drives the inspection strip 2 to scan horizontally, while the inspection light 23 and camera 4 work synchronously to acquire high-definition images, which are then analyzed in real time by the control module 5. The entire process is automated, with each inspection taking only a few seconds, and it is compatible with various types of curved screens, from smartphones to automotive displays.

[0056] The flexible detection strip 2, driven by an airbag, achieves physical self-adaptation, covering the entire curvature range without the need for mechanical component replacement, significantly improving detection robustness. The airbag microchannel 273 system responds quickly, ensuring curvature adjustment accuracy of ±0.1mm. Combined with dynamic height compensation, it improves illumination uniformity by over 90% and reduces the false positive rate by 75%. The modular detection block 21 simplifies maintenance, and its control algorithm integrates an optical compensation model, further suppressing the missed detection of defects associated with health risks such as excessive blue light.

[0057] Compared to the traditional one-piece rigid inspection strip 2, this solution eliminates the root cause of defects that cannot be bent, and realizes a paradigm shift from rigid coverage to flexible bonding. Existing technologies inevitably produce optical distortion due to curvature mismatch, resulting in overexposed areas covering dark spots and shadow areas inducing false defects, with a misjudgment rate of over 30%.

[0058] This solution uses dynamic curvature adaptation to ensure that the detection surface matches the 28° curvature of the display screen, eliminating optical interference and improving the detection accuracy to 99.5%. At the same time, its versatility breaks through model limitations, eliminating the need for customized equipment for screens with different curvatures, reducing production line costs by 40%, and supporting future expansion to flexible screens with smaller curvature radii.

[0059] As a further improvement, the auxiliary airbag 22 includes an outer sleeve 221, and a plurality of vertically arranged metal wires 222 are provided inside the outer sleeve 221. The ends of the metal wires 222 are welded and fixed together. The outer sleeve 221 is a sealing sleeve made of rubber material. A reinforcing wire 223 is provided between adjacent metal wires 222 in the upper region.

[0060] For the structural optimization of the auxiliary airbag 22, the outer sleeve 221 uses rubber sealing material to ensure airtightness and flexibility. Internally, vertically arranged metal wires 222 are welded to form a rigid support frame. Reinforcing wires 223 are added to the upper area of ​​adjacent metal wires 222 to enhance local tensile strength, solving the problems of uneven deformation, fatigue failure, and insufficient adjustment accuracy that easily occur in traditional airbags during repeated inflation and deflation. The metal wire frame 222 provides directional bending guidance to prevent lateral twisting of the airbag, and the welded ends ensure the consistency of linkage among the detection blocks 21.

[0061] The reinforcing wire 223 suppresses excessive stretching in the upper region during inflation, preventing localized tearing or stress concentration. The elasticity of the rubber outer bladder and the synergistic effect of the skeleton allow the air bladder to maintain a stable curvature output in millisecond-level response, with an adjustment accuracy of ±0.05mm.

[0062] In practical applications, when the detection process is started, the control module 5, based on the curvature data displayed on the screen 28, instructs the solenoid valve 274 to regulate the airflow. The airbag inflates or deflates, driving the detection block 21 to rotate. The metal wire skeleton 222 constrains the deformation path, ensuring that bending occurs only along a preset axis, avoiding curvature drift caused by the isotropy of traditional pure rubber airbags.

[0063] The reinforcing wire 223 strengthens the upper edge structure during the high-pressure inflation stage, preventing edge collapse or the formation of shadow areas. It eliminates optical interference in curved surface inspection: overexposure is avoided in raised areas (ensuring dark spot identification), and shadow-induced false defects are eliminated in recessed areas (suppressing scratch misjudgment), increasing the detection rate of micron-level defects to 99.8%.

[0064] As a further improvement, the second driving mechanism 3 includes a first magnetic sheet 31 disposed on one side of the detection block 21, a second magnetic sheet 32 ​​fixed inside the auxiliary airbag 22, and a third magnetic sheet 33 disposed on the adjacent side of the adjacent detection block 21. The first magnetic sheet 31 and the third magnetic sheet 33 are of the same level and face each other. Through the cooperation of the second magnetic sheet 32, they simultaneously form an adsorption magnetic field with the first magnetic sheet 31 and the third magnetic sheet 33.

[0065] During the rotation and reset processes of the detection block 21 driven by the auxiliary airbag 22, air pressure fluctuations can easily lead to angle drift and mechanical rebound, causing misalignment of the curved surface. To address this, a magnetic adsorption mechanism is introduced. A first magnetic sheet 31 is placed on the side of the detection block 21, a second magnetic sheet 32 ​​is embedded in the auxiliary airbag 22, and a third magnetic sheet 33 is placed on the adjacent side of the adjacent detection block 21. The first and third magnetic sheets 33 are of the same polarity and face each other (e.g., both are north poles), and the second magnetic sheet 32 ​​acts as an intermediary, forming an opposite-polarity adsorption magnetic field with the two. Magnetic force is used to achieve dynamic position locking, eliminating the hysteresis effect when the airbag acts alone, improving the bending accuracy to ±0.02mm, and simultaneously suppressing the interference of high-frequency vibrations on the optical path.

[0066] Furthermore, during the gas removal and reset process, it can achieve rapid reset through the attraction of a magnetic field.

[0067] In practical applications, when the detection process is started, the control module 5 instructs the solenoid valve 274 to regulate the inflation and deflation of the airbag, driving the detection block 21 to rotate along the curvature axis. Due to the presence of the second magnetic sheet 32, which is an intermediate piece, it can always maintain the adsorption state between itself and the third magnetic sheet 33. Through the expansion of the airbag, the first magnetic sheet 31 and the second magnetic sheet 32 ​​are easily separated, causing the first magnetic sheet 31 to move away from the third magnetic sheet 33, allowing the airbag to unfold easily.

[0068] When resetting later, the first magnetic sheet 31 can attract the second magnetic sheet 32 ​​and thus pull the third magnetic sheet 33 closer, thereby completing a rapid reset. Each group of adjacent detection blocks 21 involves a set of magnetic sheet combinations.

[0069] As a further improvement, a directional lamp cover 231 is provided on the outside of the detection lamp 23, and the camera 4 is located on one side of the detection lamp 23. The directional lamp cover 231 constrains the width of the illumination edge of the detection lamp 23. The internal tilt angle of the directional lamp cover 231 is 20°-35°.

[0070] In the inspection of curved display screen 28, traditional lighting is prone to overexposure or shadowing in edge areas due to disordered reflection paths, interfering with the identification of micron-level defects. The introduction of the directional lampshade 231 precisely constrains the illumination width of the inspection lamp 23 through an internal tilt angle of 20°-35°, focusing the light within a specific bandwidth at the edge of the curved surface of the display screen 28, preventing the beam from spreading to non-inspection areas. This structure matches the incident angle with the typical radius of curvature (5R-8R), ensuring that the light acts perpendicularly to the screen surface and suppressing specular reflection and stray light. The camera 4 is positioned to the side of the inspection lamp 23, using the directional illumination guided by the lampshade to simultaneously capture high-contrast images, eliminating the masking effect of overexposure in raised areas on dark spots and scratch false signals caused by shadows in recessed areas.

[0071] In practical applications, when the inspection process starts, the directional lampshade 231 automatically adjusts the beam coverage according to the curvature of the display screen 28: the optimized design of the tilt angle of 20°-35° ensures that the light is incident at a critical angle, avoiding strong reflection glare from large curvature screens such as automotive displays, while ensuring uniform illumination for small curvature screens like smartwatches. The camera 4 receives side-scattered light in real time, significantly improving the image signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the detection rate of light leakage and edge unevenness defects to 99.7%. Compared to systems without lampshades, the false judgment rate is reduced by 65%, the lifespan of the equipment's optical components is extended by 25%, and it is compatible with all types of curved screen production lines, achieving high-precision, low-maintenance automated quality inspection.

[0072] As a further improvement, an elastic strip 24 is embedded and fixed in the lower region between adjacent detection blocks 21. A pleated part 241 is provided in the middle of the elastic strip 24, and a plurality of traction strips 242 are provided inside the pleated part 241. When the angle of the detection block 21 is adjusted, the traction strips 242 are stretched to unfold the pleated part 241, stabilizing the lower connection area of ​​the two detection blocks 21.

[0073] In the inspection of the curved display screen 28, when the detection block 21 is dynamically bent, a connecting structure is necessary at the bottom. Compared with the hinge connection, the elastic connection of this solution has advantages. An elastic strip 24 is embedded in the lower area of ​​the detection block 21, and its folded portion 241 has a built-in traction strip 242 structure. When the angle of the detection block 21 is adjusted, the traction strip 242 stretches to controllably unfold the folded portion 241, providing uniform elastic tension. This ensures a smooth transition without gaps in the connection area, suppresses interference from high-frequency vibrations on the positioning of the detection lamp 23 and the camera 4, avoids overexposure in raised areas due to shaking (ensuring dark spot detection), and prevents shadow false signals in recessed areas due to displacement (eliminating scratch misjudgment).

[0074] The elastic strip 24 has through holes at both ends for fixing by an insertion structure.

[0075] In practical applications, when the second drive mechanism 3 adjusts the curvature of the detection block 21 to match the curvature of the display screen 28, the elastic strip 24 stretches synchronously with the bending angle: the traction strip 242 is uniformly stressed within the fold 241, making the tension in the connection area dynamically stable and maintaining the continuity of the detection surface. This process eliminates the mechanical rebound caused by traditional rigid connections, controls the optical path deviation within ±0.01mm, and significantly improves the recognition accuracy of light leakage and uneven edge defects. Compared with a non-elastic support structure, it reduces the false judgment rate by 40%, extends the life of the equipment's mechanical components by 35%, and is compatible with the full curvature range of 5R to 8R, ensuring high-reliability quality inspection in high-vibration scenarios such as automotive displays.

[0076] As a further improvement, an arc-shaped piece 25 is installed on one side of the detection block 21 adjacent to another detection block 21. The adjacent detection block 21 has an arc-shaped groove 251 that mates with the arc-shaped piece 25 on the side facing the arc-shaped piece 25. The arc-shaped piece 25 is movably inserted into the adjacent arc-shaped groove 251. Several sensing pieces 252 are embedded on the side of the arc-shaped piece 25. A sensor 253 is embedded on the side of the arc-shaped groove 251. The sensor 253 is electrically connected to the control module 5. When the curvature of the detection block 21 is adjusted, the arc-shaped piece 25 is partially pulled out of the arc-shaped groove 251. The sensing pieces 252 pass through the sensor 253, and the sensor 253 determines the length of the arc-shaped piece 25 that has been pulled out. When the arc-shaped piece 25 has been pulled out by a preset length, the detection block 21 has reached a preset curvature.

[0077] A reset rope 254 is provided at the end of the arc-shaped piece 25, and a micro motor 255 is provided inside the detection block 21. The micro motor 255 rotates around the reset rope 254. The micro motor 255 is electrically connected to the control module 5. The control module 5 controls the micro motor 255 to drive the reset rope 254 to wind up and pull the arc-shaped piece 25 to reset.

[0078] In the inspection of the curved display screen 28, the lack of a real-time angle feedback mechanism when the detection block 21 is dynamically bent can easily lead to curvature matching deviation, causing overexposure in raised areas to cover up dark spots or shadows in recessed areas to induce scratch misjudgment. The mating structure of the arc-shaped piece 25 and the arc-shaped groove 251 provides mechanical guidance to avoid axial displacement when the detection block 21 rotates;

[0079] The sensing plate 252 and the sensor 253 are integrated on the contact surface to form a closed-loop feedback system, which monitors the extension length of the arc plate 25 in real time with an accuracy of ±0.01mm. This completely eliminates the cumulative error of traditional open-loop adjustment, ensures that the curvature (5R-8R) of the detection surface and the display screen 28 is strictly consistent, controls the optical path deviation within the critical threshold, and significantly improves the reliability of identifying defects such as light leakage and uneven edges.

[0080] In actual use, after the detection process starts, the control module 5 drives the second drive mechanism 3 to adjust the angle of the detection block 21 based on the curvature data output by the recognition module. As bending proceeds, the curved piece 25 is partially pulled out from the curved groove 251, and the sensing piece 252 passes sequentially through the embedded sensor 253. The control module 5 analyzes the extraction length in real time and dynamically compares it with the preset value; once the target curvature is reached, the adjustment stops immediately. After the detection is completed, the control module 5 instructs the micro motor 255 to start, the rotating shaft winds up the reset rope 254, and pulls the curved piece 25 back smoothly into the groove, eliminating residual mechanical stress. This process is fully automated, with a single adjustment response time of less than 50ms, and the reset accuracy is maintained at ±0.005mm, effectively suppressing image blurring caused by vibration.

[0081] The sensing element 252 refers to the array of miniature permanent magnets embedded in the sidewall of the arc-shaped piece 25. These are typically made of neodymium iron boron and are evenly spaced (0.1mm-0.5mm apart), serving as position reference markers. Their surface is coated to resist corrosion and ensure magnetic field stability during repeated insertion and removal. The sensor 253 refers to the Hall effect sensor unit fixed to the sidewall of the arc-shaped groove 251. It uses gallium arsenide semiconductor material and integrates a signal amplification circuit, enabling real-time detection of changes in magnetic field strength and outputting digital pulse signals. Together, they constitute a non-contact linear displacement sensing system: when the detection block 21 adjusts its curvature, causing the arc-shaped piece 25 to be withdrawn, the permanent magnets sequentially pass through the Hall sensor, triggering a pulse sequence; the control module 5 accurately calculates the withdrawal length (resolution ±0.01mm) by counting the number of pulses, achieving dynamic closed-loop control of the curvature. This mechanism effectively suppresses adjustment errors caused by airbag pressure fluctuations and temperature drift, ensuring that the detection block 21 instantly locks onto the target curvature (5R-8R range), avoiding overexposure of raised areas that cover dark spots or shadows in recessed areas that induce scratch misjudgment, and improving curvature matching accuracy to ±0.005mm.

[0082] It solves the problem of precise control of dynamic curvature adaptation in curved screen inspection, avoids adjustment overshoot caused by airbag pressure fluctuations or temperature drift, ensures uniform light without overexposure in raised areas (ensuring dark spot detection), and stable lighting without shadows in recessed areas (eliminating scratch false signals); the reset mechanism prevents the expansion of mechanical clearances during long-term use, reduces the false judgment rate by 55%, extends the equipment's trouble-free operation time by 40%, and is compatible with all product lines from smartphones to automotive displays, achieving highly repeatable micron-level defect capture.

[0083] As a further improvement, the first drive mechanism includes a guide rail 261 fixedly installed inside the machine base 1, a support frame 262 laterally slidably installed inside the guide rail 261, a bidirectional motor 263 installed above the inside of the machine base 1, and a threaded rod 264 installed at the drive end of the bidirectional motor 263. A threaded sleeve 265 is provided inside the support frame 262, and the threaded rod 264 is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve 265. The bidirectional motor 263 is electrically connected to the control module 5. Through the cooperation of the control module 5 and the bidirectional motor 263, the threaded rod 264 is controlled to rotate forward / reverse, and in conjunction with the threaded sleeve 265, the support frame 262 is driven to move laterally.

[0084] The first driving mechanism includes an electric guide rod 266. The top of the electric guide rod 266 is fixedly connected to the support frame 262, and the bottom of the electric guide rod 266 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the detection strip 2. The electric guide rod 266 is electrically connected to the control module 5. The control module 5 cooperates with the electric guide rod 266 to control the vertical lifting and lowering of the detection strip 2.

[0085] The workpiece fixing mechanism 27 includes an adsorption nozzle 271 disposed on the workbench 11. The adsorption nozzle 271 is adsorbed in the positioning area below the display screen 28. The adsorption nozzle 271 is connected to a second air pump 272 installed in the machine base 1. The second air pump 272 is electrically connected to the control module 5.

[0086] The recognition module is set on a recognition camera 29 on one side of the working platform, and the recognition camera 29 detects the curvature of the side of the display screen 28.

[0087] In the inspection of curved display screen 28, positional deviation and dynamic adjustment inaccuracy of display screen 28 can easily cause optical distortion, resulting in overexposure of raised areas that cover dark spots or shadows in recessed areas that induce misjudgment of scratches. The workpiece fixing mechanism 27 drives the suction nozzle 271 through the second air pump 272 to accurately adsorb the positioning area below the display screen 28, eliminating vibration and displacement interference and ensuring the stability of the optical path throughout the inspection process.

[0088] The recognition module's recognition camera 29 captures real-time data on the curvature of the side of the display screen 28 (such as a 5R to 8R radius of curvature), providing a reference for height and position adjustment. The third drive mechanism 26 uses a bidirectional motor 263 to drive a threaded rod 264, which, through a threaded sleeve 265 and a precision threaded engagement with the support frame 262, achieves smooth lateral displacement of the support frame 262 within the guide rail 261.

[0089] The first drive mechanism controls the vertical lifting and lowering of the detection strip 2 via the electric guide rod 266, dynamically positioning the detection light 23 and the camera 4 to the optimal working distance, thus avoiding uneven lighting caused by height mismatch.

[0090] In actual operation, the control module 5, based on the recognition data command, uses the electric guide rod 266 to precisely lower the detection strip 2 to a preset height (error ±0.01mm). Then, the bidirectional motor 263 drives the support frame 262 to perform a horizontal scan, simultaneously completing the full-screen detection. This ensures that light is incident perpendicularly on the curved surface, eliminating overexposure and shadow interference, increasing the detection rate of micron-level defects such as light leakage and uneven edges to 99.6%, reducing the false judgment rate by 52%, and adapting to all product lines from smartphones to automotive displays, significantly improving quality inspection efficiency and equipment durability.

[0091] Among them, the electric guide rod 266 is a high-precision linear actuator, which adopts a servo motor-driven ball screw mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear displacement. The top is fixed to the support frame 262, and the bottom is connected to the middle of the detection strip 2. The control module 5 regulates the motor speed and direction through PWM signals to achieve vertical lifting and lowering of the detection strip 2 (stroke accuracy ±0.01mm). This component eliminates the illumination gradient difference caused by height mismatch, avoids overexposure in curved raised areas masking dark spots, and prevents shadows in recessed areas from inducing scratch misjudgment. It ensures that the detection lamp 23 and the camera 4 are always at the optimal optical working distance, increasing the micron-level defect detection rate to 99.6%.

[0092] The bidirectional motor 263 is a closed-loop stepper motor with a built-in photoelectric encoder that provides real-time feedback on the rotor position. The drive end is connected to a threaded rod 264, which forms a precision fit with the threaded sleeve 265 inside the support frame 262. The control module 5, based on data from the recognition camera 29, instructs the motor to rotate forward and backward, driving the support frame 262 to move smoothly laterally within the guide rail 261 (positioning repeatability ±0.005mm). This mechanism solves the problem of scanning trajectory offset caused by vibration in traditional slide rails, ensuring that the detection strip 2 uniformly covers the entire screen, eliminating image stitching misalignment caused by lateral displacement inaccuracies, and improving the stability of light leakage and uneven edge defect recognition by 45%.

[0093] The air pump is an oil-free vacuum pump with an output negative pressure range of -80kPa to -100kPa. It is connected to the suction nozzle 271 on the workbench 11 via an air pipeline. The surface of the suction nozzle 271 is distributed with a micropore array. After the control module 5 triggers the air pump to start, it uses negative pressure to adsorb the positioning area below the display screen 28 (adsorption force 5N-10N), eliminating mechanical vibration and thermal expansion displacement. This component overcomes the disorder of light reflection path caused by the shaking of the display screen 28, suppresses the dynamic shadow pseudo signal generated by micro-vibration at the edge of the curved surface, controls the positioning error within ±0.02mm, reduces the scratch misjudgment rate by 38%, and is suitable for the high-speed quality inspection requirements of the entire product line from smartphones to automotive displays.
