Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a detection device and detection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In current automated processing equipment, material conveying is typically done in a conveyor system, with workpieces passing through multiple stations sequentially for processing. This design is simple and easy to implement. However, the processing time at different stations varies significantly. If the processing time at a particular station is too long, material accumulation can easily occur, causing blockages in the conveyor line. This leads to a decrease in overall inspection efficiency, limited throughput, and disruption to production rhythm. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a detection device and detection equipment to address the above problems.

[0004] This application provides a detection device, which includes a detection line assembly, a first detection component, and a first transfer assembly. The detection line assembly includes a transport component, which includes a moving part and a supporting part. The moving part is movably disposed along a first direction, and the supporting part is used to carry a workpiece and is rotatably disposed on the moving part. The loading ends of at least two of the detection line assemblies are located in the same area. At least two of the first detection components are respectively located on one side of the movement trajectory of the transport component of the at least two detection line assemblies along the first direction, so as to detect the workpiece transported by the transport component. The first transfer assembly is located in the area where the loading end is located and is used to provide the workpiece.

[0005] This application also provides a testing device, which includes the testing apparatus described above.

[0006] In the aforementioned testing device, each testing line assembly includes a transport component comprising a moving part and a supporting part. The supporting part carries the workpiece and is rotatably mounted on the moving part. The moving part is capable of moving along a first direction, and the first testing component is located beside the movement trajectory of the transport component along the first direction. Thus, by moving the transport component relative to the first testing component while carrying the workpiece, the moving part exposes various areas of one side of the workpiece within the field of view of the first testing component, allowing the first testing component to comprehensively test one side of the workpiece. After testing one side of the workpiece is completed, by driving the supporting part to rotate, the other side of the workpiece can be switched to an orientation facing the side where the first testing component is located. At this time, operating the moving part to perform another transfer action exposes various areas of the other side of the workpiece within the field of view of the first testing component, allowing the first testing component to comprehensively test the other side of the workpiece.

[0007] In this application, the transport component can not only move the workpiece but also switch its posture, thus allowing at least two sides of the workpiece to be detected by the first detection component. Simultaneously, since the first transfer component is located in the area where the loading end of each detection line component is located, the first transfer component can provide workpieces to each detection line component. With this configuration, each detection line component can asynchronously acquire workpieces from the first transfer component; that is, while the transport component of one detection line component is carrying a workpiece for detection, the workpiece subsequently received from the first transfer component can be transferred to another detection line component. Therefore, at least two detection line components can alternately acquire workpieces from the first transfer component and alternately transport workpieces for detection by their respective first detection components, achieving complementarity and reducing the waiting time of workpieces at the first transfer component, thereby increasing workpiece throughput.

[0008] As described above, the transport component of a single inspection line assembly in this application can switch the workpiece posture, thereby relatively reducing the number of required first inspection components. Multiple inspection line assemblies can complement each other, reducing the waiting time for workpieces upstream. This configuration balances the limitations on the number of inspection elements with the requirement for workpiece throughput per unit time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0025] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0029] Current inspection devices typically include a conveying assembly and an inspection assembly. The conveying assembly transports the workpiece from upstream to downstream, while the inspection assembly comprises multiple inspection modules distributed sequentially from upstream to downstream, allowing the workpiece to pass through each inspection module in turn under the drive of the conveying assembly. However, current inspection methods require multiple inspection modules, each corresponding to a different inspection position on the workpiece or a different inspection type, resulting in a large overall space occupation, complex structure, and high cost. One traditional solution involves configuring the conveying assembly with a posture switching function. By switching the workpiece's posture, different sides of the workpiece can be exposed on the same inspection module, reducing the number of inspection modules required. However, this solution requires the workpiece to repeatedly change posture at the same station, resulting in long inspection times at that station and potential blockages in the conveying channel, thus limiting efficiency.

[0030] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a detection device comprising a first transfer component, a second transfer component, and multiple detection line components. Each of the multiple detection line components is used to transport workpieces and has a posture switching function, allowing for posture switching of the transported workpieces. The loading ends of the multiple detection line components are located in the same area as the first transfer component, thus the loading ends of each detection line component can acquire the workpieces at the first transfer component. The unloading ends of the multiple detection line components are located in the same area as the second transfer component, thus the second transfer component can acquire the workpieces at the unloading ends of each detection line component. In other words, the detection line components are connected in roughly parallel relationships between the first and second transfer components and can independently transport workpieces for detection. Therefore, the detection line components can alternately transport workpieces, achieving comprehensive detection with a smaller number of detection modules while reducing the dwell time of workpieces at the first transfer component. The detection device described in various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This diagram shows an isometric view of an inspection device 10 provided in one embodiment of this application. The inspection device 10 includes an inspection unit 20, which performs on workpieces, including but not limited to appearance inspection and dimensional measurement. Further, the inspection device 10 also includes a loading line assembly 30 and a unloading line assembly 40. The loading line assembly 30 transports workpieces and provides them to the inspection unit 20 for inspection. The unloading line assembly 40 receives the workpieces already inspected at the inspection unit 20 and unloads them. It should be noted that the inspection unit 20 can be configured to actively acquire workpieces from the loading line assembly 30, passively receive workpieces from the loading line assembly 30, or combine both of these methods of interacting with the workpieces from the loading line assembly 30. Similarly, the inspection unit 20 can be configured to actively transfer workpieces to the unloading line assembly 40, passively allow the unloading line assembly 40 to remove workpieces, or combine both of these methods of interacting with the workpieces from the unloading line assembly 40.

[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 5 An embodiment of this application provides a detection device 20 including a detection line assembly 100, a first detection component 200, and a first transfer assembly 300. The first detection component 200 can perform detection processing on workpieces located within its detection range. The first transfer assembly 300 can acquire workpieces conveyed by the feeding line assembly 30, and the detection line assembly 100 can acquire workpieces at the first transfer assembly 300.

[0033] The detection line assembly 100 includes a transport component 110. The transport component 110 includes a moving part 110a and a supporting part 110b. The moving part 110a is movably disposed along a first direction S1, and the supporting part 110b is used to support the workpiece and is rotatably disposed on the moving part 110a. The number of detection line assemblies 100 is at least two. At least two first detection components 200 are respectively located on one side of the movement trajectory of the transport component 110 along the first direction S1 of the at least two detection line assemblies 100, and facing the movement trajectory of the transport component 110, to detect the workpiece transported by the transport component 110. Thus, by moving the moving part 110a relative to the first detection component 200 while carrying the workpiece, various areas of one side of the workpiece can be exposed within the field of view of the first detection component 200, allowing the first detection component 200 to comprehensively detect one side of the workpiece. After inspection is completed on one side of the workpiece, the other side of the workpiece can be switched to face the side where the first inspection component 200 is located by driving the carrier 110b to rotate. At this time, the operating motion unit 110a performs a transfer action again, which exposes each area of ​​the other side of the workpiece to the field of view of the first inspection component 200, allowing the first inspection component 200 to fully inspect the other side of the workpiece. In this application, the carrier 110 can not only carry the workpiece to move, but also switch the posture of the workpiece, so at least two sides of the workpiece can be inspected by the first inspection component 200.

[0034] At least two inspection line components 100 have their loading ends 101 located in the same area, and a first transfer component 300 is located in the area where the loading ends 101 are located, for providing workpieces. Since the first transfer component 300 is located in the area where the loading ends 101 of each inspection line component 100 are located, the first transfer component 300 can provide workpieces to each inspection line component 100. With this configuration, each inspection line component 100 can asynchronously acquire workpieces from the first transfer component 300; that is, when the transport component 110 of one inspection line component 100 is carrying a workpiece for inspection, the workpiece subsequently received from the first transfer component 300 can be transferred to another inspection line component 100. Thus, at least two inspection line components 100 can alternately acquire workpieces from the first transfer component 300 and alternately transport workpieces for inspection by their respective corresponding first inspection components 200, achieving complementary material handling, thereby reducing the waiting time of workpieces at the first transfer component 300 and increasing workpiece throughput. It is understood that the "same area" where the loading ends 101 of each of the aforementioned inspection line components 100 are located refers to the area where the loading ends 101 of at least two inspection line components 100 meet the requirement of obtaining workpieces from the same first transfer component 300. For example, the aforementioned "same area" could refer to the area where the movement trajectories of the transport components 110 of each inspection line component 100 overlap. Figure 3The PL2 area is shown. When the first transfer component 300 has a motion function in the arrangement of the feeding end 101 of the multiple detection line components 100, the same area can refer to the area where the motion trajectory of the first transfer component 300 is located in the arrangement.

[0035] As described above, the transport component 110 of a single inspection line assembly 100 in this application can switch the workpiece posture, thereby relatively reducing the number of first inspection components 200 required. Multiple inspection line assemblies 100 complement each other, reducing the waiting time of workpieces upstream. This arrangement balances the requirement for a limited number of inspection elements with the requirement for workpiece throughput per unit time. It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the first inspection component 200 is used in conjunction with a rotatable, switchable bearing portion 110b for inspection, illustrating one scenario of long waiting times at a single inspection station. However, the layout of the first transfer component 300 with multiple inspection line assemblies 100 in this application is not limited to the long waiting time scenario exemplified in this application; it is also applicable to other scenarios, which will not be elaborated upon in each embodiment.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the above embodiments illustrate the example of at least two detection line assemblies 100 alternately transporting workpieces for inspection. However, the embodiments of this application do not limit the multiple detection line assemblies 100 to acquiring workpieces at the first transfer assembly 300 in an alternating manner. When the number of workpieces arriving at the first transfer assembly 300 is small or the arrival speed is slow, it is also possible to configure only one detection line assembly 100 to perform the transport function for a certain period of time.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the detection line assembly 100 further includes a transfer member 120, which carries the workpiece and drives it to change posture. The transfer member 120 is movably disposed along a second direction S2, which intersects with the first direction S1. The detection device 20 also includes second detection members 500, with at least two second detection members 500 respectively located on one side of the movement trajectory of the transfer members 120 of at least two detection line assemblies 100 along the second direction S2. Thus, by cooperating with the transfer member 120 and the second detection members 500, the comprehensiveness of the workpiece detection by the detection device 20 can be further improved.

[0038] Furthermore, the first direction S1 and the second direction S2 can be perpendicular to each other.

[0039] As described above, both the transport component 110 and the transfer component 120 have the function of driving the workpiece to change its posture. As one example, the workpiece can be a product with a roughly hexahedral shape. In this case, the carrier 110b can drive the front and rear sides of the workpiece to be exposed to the first detection component 200, and the transfer component 120 can drive the left and right sides of the workpiece to be exposed to the first detection component 200. It is understood that for a product with a roughly hexahedral shape, the two opposite sides (i.e., the front and rear sides, and the left and right sides) are usually roughly the same shape. Therefore, this arrangement ensures that the two sides detected by the first detection component 200 and the two sides detected by the second detection component 500 are roughly the same shape. This reduces the compatibility requirements of the first and second detection components 200 with the workpiece shape, facilitating the acquisition of accurate detection results. Meanwhile, compared to configuring the carrier component 110 to independently inspect the front, rear, left, and right sides of the workpiece with the first inspection component 200, this embodiment uses a two-stage conveying method with the carrier component 110 and the transfer component 120 to distribute the inspection task to the first inspection component 200 and the second inspection component 500, thereby alleviating the problem of excessively long waiting time for workpieces at a single workstation and taking into account the workpiece throughput.

[0040] Furthermore, as will be mentioned below, the unloading ends 102 of multiple testing line assemblies 100 are also located in the same area. Therefore, the two-stage conveying method makes the layout of the testing line assemblies 100 more flexible and facilitates the unloading ends 102 of each testing line assembly 100 to be located in the same area.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the carrier component 110 can also be configured to work with the first detection component 200 to independently detect the front side, rear side, left side and right side of the workpiece.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the transfer component 120 is disposed on the base 600, and the movement trajectory of the transfer component 120 overlaps with the movement trajectory of the transport component 110 in an area PL1, so that the transfer component 120 transfers the workpiece to the transport component 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the detection line assembly 100 may also be configured to have an intermediate transfer structure, through which the workpiece at the transfer component 120 is transferred to the transport component 110.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 Combined Figure 6In one embodiment, the inspection device 20 further includes a second transfer component 400, at which workpieces can be acquired by the unloading line component 40. The unloading ends 102 of at least two inspection line components 100 are located in the same area, and the second transfer component 400 is located in the area where the unloading ends 102 are located, for acquiring workpieces. With this configuration, multiple inspection line components 100 are arranged in parallel between the first transfer component 300 and the second transfer component 400, thus balancing the limitations on the number of inspection elements and the workpiece throughput per unit time. Simultaneously, the first transfer component 300 provides workpieces to each inspection line component 100 upstream, and the second transfer component 400 receives workpieces transferred from each inspection line component 100 downstream, ensuring that the inspection device 20 remains compatible with traditional single-line conveyor assembly line modes and can therefore be easily installed in existing production lines.

[0044] Furthermore, the second transfer component 400 is located between the movement trajectories of the transfer components 120 of at least two detection line components 100 to facilitate the acquisition of workpieces at each detection line component 100.

[0045] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the line connecting the locations of the first transfer component 300 and the second transfer component 400 serves as a boundary, with at least two detection line components 100 located on different sides of the boundary line L. This arrangement ensures that, with both ends of the detection line components 100 located in two identical areas, the other areas of the detection line components 100 are kept as far apart as possible, providing sufficient installation space for the structure comprising the detection line components 100.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the detection device 20 further includes a base 600, on which the aforementioned detection line assembly 100, first detection component 200, second detection component 500, first transfer assembly 300, and second transfer assembly 400 may all be mounted. Further, the detection device 20 also includes a gantry 700, which is mounted on the base 600. The gantry 700 is mounted above the base 600 along a third direction S3. The transport component 110 may be mounted on the gantry 700 so that components (e.g., the first detection component 200) arranged relative to each other on the platform of the base 600 in the third direction S3 are at a higher position. In this case, the first detection component 200 is not limited to detecting the side of the workpiece but can also be used to detect the bottom surface of the workpiece. The third direction S3 intersects with the first direction S1 and the second direction S2, respectively.

[0047] Furthermore, any two of the first direction S1, the second direction S2, and the third direction S3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0048] Please refer to 7, and combine them together. Figure 3In one embodiment, the inspection line assembly 100 further includes a transport component 150, which is located on the side of the gantry 700 opposite to the transport component 110, for transferring the workpiece at the transfer component 120 to the second transfer assembly 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the second transfer assembly 400 may also be configured to have an active workpiece-picking function to actively pick up the workpiece at the transfer component 120.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 For the detection device 20, after the first transfer component 300 acquires the workpiece transferred by the feeding line component 30, each detection line component 100 can asynchronously acquire the workpiece at the first transfer component 300. Subsequently, the transport component 110 transports the workpiece for detection by the first detection component 200. After the first detection component 200 completes its detection, the transport component 110 transfers the workpiece to the transfer component 120. The transfer component 120 transports the workpiece for detection of other areas of the workpiece by the second detection component 500. After the second detection component 500 completes its detection, the handling component 150 transfers the workpiece at the transfer component 120 to the second transfer component 400. The second transfer component 400 then transfers the workpiece to the unloading line component 40, thus unloading the workpiece.

[0050] Furthermore, in the inspection line assembly 100, the transport component 110 may actively pick up the workpiece at the first transfer component 300.

[0051] Please see Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the moving part 110a is movably disposed on the gantry 700, and the carrying part 110b is configured as a gripper for holding the workpiece. That is, the carrying part 110 is installed in an inverted form on the gantry 700, so that the picked-up workpiece can be suspended and moved within the detection range of the first detection part 200, so that the first detection part 200 can detect the side and bottom surfaces of the workpiece.

[0052] Furthermore, since the transport component 110 is configured as a suspended, inverted gripper, the transport component 110 can move above the transfer component 120 to coincide with the movement trajectory of the transfer component 120, which facilitates the direct transfer of the workpiece to the transfer component 120.

[0053] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the transport component 110 further includes a first shifting module 130, which is disposed on the gantry 700 and connected to the moving part 110a to drive the moving part 110a to move along the first direction S1.

[0054] Combination Figure 3At least two detection line assemblies 100 have their transport components 110 mounted on the gantry 700. The motion trajectories of the transport components 110 of the at least two detection line assemblies 100 have an overlapping region PL2 projected onto the base 600 along the third direction S3. The first transfer assembly 300 has an overlapping portion with the overlapping region PL2. Therefore, at least two moving parts 110a can move along the first direction S1 to the first transfer assembly 300 to obtain the workpiece.

[0055] Combination Figure 4 Furthermore, the movement directions of the moving parts 110a of at least two detection line assemblies 100 coincide. In this case, the at least two moving parts 110a can share the same first shift module 130, meaning the first shift module 130 can drive the at least two moving parts 110a to move along the first direction S1. As one example, the first shift module 130 can be configured as a multi-actuator linear motor module to drive each moving part 110a to move independently along the first direction S1.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the moving part 110a includes a mounting plate 111, a second shifting module 112, a first frame 113, and a first rotating module 114. The mounting plate 111 is connected to the first shifting module 113. The second shifting module 112 is disposed on the mounting plate 111 and connected to the first frame 113 to drive the first frame 113 to move along a third direction S3. The first rotating module 114 is disposed on the first frame 113 and connected to the bearing part 110b to drive the bearing part 110b to move along a first direction S1 and a third direction S3, and to drive the bearing part 110b to rotate. Further, the bearing part 110b can rotate along a first axis O1, which can be parallel to the third direction S3.

[0057] Please continue reading. Figure 5 In one embodiment, the support portion 110b includes a second frame 115, a gripper structure 116, and an elastic element 117, both of which are disposed on the second frame 115. The second frame 115 is connected to a first rotating module 114, and can move along a first direction S1 and a third direction S3 under the drive of the first rotating module 114, and rotate around a first axis O1 under the drive of the first rotating module 114. Further, the gripper structure 116 is slidably disposed on the second frame 115 along the third direction S3, and the elastic element 117 elastically abuts between the gripper structure 116 and the second frame 115, so that the gripper structure 116 can elastically float relative to the second frame 115 in the third direction S3, reducing the impact that may be generated on the workpiece when picking it up.

[0058] Furthermore, the gripper structure 116 can open and close to grip and release the workpiece. Multiple gripper structures 116 can be used to simultaneously pick up multiple workpieces, improving processing efficiency.

[0059] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first transfer assembly 300 includes a first conveying component 310 for conveying workpieces. Multiple first conveying components 310 are arranged side-by-side along a first reference direction for alignment with multiple feeding line assemblies 30. It is understood that the feeding line assemblies 30 are typically configured for multi-line feeding; therefore, arranging multiple first conveying components 310 side-by-side along the first reference direction can correspondingly receive workpieces transferred from multiple feeding line assemblies 30. The first reference direction can be matched with the arrangement direction of the multiple feeding line assemblies 30. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As one example, the first reference direction can be parallel to the first direction S1.

[0060] Please continue reading. Figure 8 Multiple first conveying components 310 are movably arranged along a first reference direction, allowing adjustment of the spacing between the conveyed workpieces in the first reference direction for pickup by the transfer component 120. In short, the first transfer assembly 300 also functions as a workpiece spacing adjuster. By adjusting the spacing of the workpieces in the first reference direction (i.e., the first direction S1), the workpiece spacing can be adapted to the arrangement of multiple gripper structures 116 in the transfer component 120, allowing for synchronous pickup by the multiple gripper structures 116. It is understood that the multiple gripper structures 116 can be arranged sequentially along the first direction S1 (i.e., the first reference direction). Furthermore, the number of first conveying components 310 can match the number of gripper structures 116, for example, they can be equal, or one of them can be an integer multiple of the other.

[0061] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first transfer component 300 further includes a transfer module 320, which is connected to a plurality of first conveying components 310 to drive the plurality of first conveying components 310 to move along a first direction S1 to achieve variable pitch.

[0062] Furthermore, the first transfer component 300 also includes a blocking component 330, with multiple blocking components 330 correspondingly disposed on multiple first conveying components 310. The blocking component 330 can block the workpiece conveyed by the first conveying component 310, keeping the workpiece fixed relative to the base 600, so that the transport component 110 can pick up the workpiece.

[0063] Please continue reading. Figure 8In one embodiment, the first conveying component 310 includes a first support 311 and a first conveying structure 312. The first conveying structure 312 is disposed on the first support 311 and is used to drive the workpiece to move, thereby conveying the workpiece. The blocking component 330 includes a blocking element 331 and a blocking driver 332. The blocking driver 332 is disposed on the first support 311 and connected to the blocking element 331 to drive the blocking element 331 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying structure 312, thereby blocking the workpiece conveyed by the first conveying structure 312.

[0064] As one example, the conveying direction of the first conveying structure 312 can be parallel to the second direction S2. The first conveying structure 312 can convey workpieces in a manner such as conveyor belt conveying, friction wheel conveying, and roller conveying.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first support 311 includes a first base frame 311a, a first guide member 311b, and a second guide member 311c. The first conveying structure 312 is disposed on the first base frame 311a, and the first guide member 311b and the second guide member 311c are also disposed on the first base frame 311a and located above the first conveying structure 312 to guide and limit the workpiece conveyed by the first conveying structure 312. The first guide member 311b and the second guide member 311c extend along the second direction S2 and are spaced apart in the first direction S1.

[0066] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10 Combined Figure 3 In one embodiment, the transfer component 120 includes a moving part 120a and a supporting part 120b. The moving part 120a is movably disposed along the second direction S2, and the supporting part 120b is used to support the workpiece. The supporting part 120b is rotatably disposed on the moving part 120a, and the movement trajectory of the moving part 120a overlaps with the movement trajectory of the moving part 110a in an area PL1. Thus, after the first detection component 200 completes detection, the moving part 110a can move above the moving part 120a, allowing the supporting part 110b to place the workpiece on the supporting part 120b.

[0067] Please see Figure 10 In one embodiment, the support portion 120b may also be configured to restrict the position of the workpiece in a clamping manner, so that the workpiece can perform translational and rotational movements accordingly.

[0068] Please see Figure 9In one embodiment, the detection line assembly 100 further includes a third shifting module 140, which is connected to the transfer member 120 to drive the transfer member 120 to move along the second direction S2. Further, there can be multiple transfer members 120, each carrying a workpiece and moving it along the second direction S2. It is understood that multiple transfer members 120 may share the same third shifting module 140. As one example, the third shifting module 140 can be configured as a multi-actuator linear motor module to drive each moving part 120a to move independently along the second direction S2.

[0069] Please refer to it again. Figure 10 In one embodiment, the moving part 120a includes a mounting frame 121 and a second rotating module 122. The second rotating module 122 is disposed on the mounting frame 121 and connected to the support part 120b to drive the support part 120b to rotate. Further, the support part 120b can rotate along a second axis O2, which is parallel to a third direction S3.

[0070] Furthermore, the support unit 120b includes a third frame 123, a clamping driver 124, and a clamping structure 125. Both the clamping driver 124 and the clamping structure 125 are located on the third frame 123, which is connected to the second rotating module 122. The clamping driver 124 is connected to the clamping structure 125 to drive the clamping structure 125 to open and close, thereby limiting the position of the workpiece.

[0071] Please see Figure 3 It is understandable that, with the line connecting the locations of the first transfer component 300 and the second transfer component 400 as the boundary, the transfer component 120 in the detection line component 100 is located in a region relatively far from the boundary line L.

[0072] Please see Figure 11 Combined Figure 3 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the conveying component 150 can convey the workpiece along the first direction S1, so that the workpiece at the transfer component 120 which is relatively far away from the dividing line L can return to the position relatively close to the dividing line L along the first direction S1, which facilitates the centralized unloading of the second transfer component 400.

[0073] Please see Figure 11In one embodiment, the conveying component 150 includes a fourth shifting module 151, a fifth shifting module 152, a fourth frame 153, a fifth frame 154, and a pickup component 155, which is used to pick up workpieces. The pickup component 155 is disposed on the fifth frame 154, and the fifth shifting module 152 is connected to the fifth frame 154 to drive the fifth frame 154 to move along a third direction S3. The fourth shifting module 151 is disposed on the gantry 700, and the fifth shifting module 152 is disposed on the fourth frame 153. The fourth shifting module 151 is connected to the fourth frame 153 to drive the fourth frame 153 to move along a first direction S1.

[0074] Please see Figure 6 Combined Figure 1 In one embodiment, the second transfer assembly 400 includes a second conveying component 410 for conveying workpieces. Multiple second conveying components 410 are arranged side-by-side along a second reference direction for alignment with multiple unloading line assemblies 40. Furthermore, the multiple second conveying components 410 are movably arranged along the second reference direction. In this embodiment, the multiple second conveying components 410 are configured to move along the second reference direction, which can, on the one hand, be used to adjust the distance of the conveyed workpieces to accommodate the spacing between the multiple unloading line assemblies 40. On the other hand, the movement of the second conveying components 410 along the second reference direction can also align the second conveying components 410 with different unloading line assemblies 40 to convey the workpieces to different unloading line assemblies 40, thereby achieving unloading and screening.

[0075] As one example, the number of handling components 150 and the number of second conveying components 410 can be matched with the number of inspection line assemblies 100, so that the workpieces at each inspection line assembly 100 can be transferred to the corresponding second conveying component 410 for targeted screening based on the inspection results of each inspection line assembly 100.

[0076] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second reference direction may be parallel to the first direction S1. Further, the second transfer assembly 400 also includes a screening module 420, which is connected to a plurality of second conveying components 410 to drive the plurality of second conveying components 410 to move along the first direction S1 and align with different feeding line assemblies 40 to achieve feeding and screening.

[0077] Please see Figure 12 In one embodiment, the second conveying component 410 includes a second support 411 and a second conveying structure 412. The second conveying structure 412 is disposed on the second support 411 and is used to drive the workpiece to move, thereby conveying the workpiece. The second conveying structure 412 can be configured to convey the workpiece by means of conveyor belt conveying, friction wheel conveying, roller conveying, etc.

[0078] Furthermore, the conveying direction of the second conveying structure 412 can be parallel to the second direction S2. The second support 411 includes a second base frame 411a, a third guide member 411b, and a fourth guide member 411c. The second conveying structure 412 is disposed on the second base frame 411a, and the third guide member 411b and the fourth guide member 411c are also disposed on the second base frame 411a and located above the second conveying structure 412 to guide and limit the workpiece conveyed by the second conveying structure 412. The third guide member 411b and the fourth guide member 411c extend along the second direction S2 and are spaced apart in the first direction S1.

[0079] Please see Figure 12 In one embodiment, the second transfer assembly 400 further includes a positioning component 430, which is disposed on the second base frame 411a. The positioning component 430 is located on one side of the third guide member 411b and the fourth guide member 411c, and abuts against the workpiece to contact the other, so as to position the workpiece conveyed by the second conveying structure 412, so as to facilitate the accurate and smooth entry of the workpiece into the corresponding unloading line assembly 40.

[0080] Please continue reading. Figure 12 Furthermore, the positioning component 430 includes a positioning element 431 and a positioning driver 432. The positioning driver 432 is located on the side where the first guide element 311b or the second guide element 311c is located. The positioning driver 432 is connected to the positioning element 431 to drive the positioning element 431 to move along the first direction S1, so that the positioning element 431 positions the workpiece.

[0081] Please see Figure 13 Combined Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first transfer component 300 further includes a third conveying component 340. At a position where the first conveying component 310 and the second conveying component 410 move relative to the third conveying component 340, the first conveying component 310, the third conveying component 340, and the second conveying component 410 are sequentially connected end-to-end. At this time, the workpiece can be directly conveyed from the first conveying component 310 to the second conveying component 410 via the third conveying component 340. That is, this embodiment is configured with the third conveying component 340 as described above, which can be connected between the first conveying component 310 and the second conveying component 410, so that the workpiece can be directly conveyed from the first transfer component 300 to the second transfer component 400 without passing through the detection line assembly 100. As one example, when the detection line assembly 100 is inspected and maintained, the third conveying component 340 can be operated to perform the connecting and conveying function, so that the detection device 20 does not need to be stopped for maintenance, reducing the losses that may be caused by the overall shutdown of the detection equipment 10.

[0082] Furthermore, the conveying directions of the first conveying component 310, the second conveying component 410, and the third conveying component 340 may be the same to improve the smoothness of the connecting conveying. Even further, the conveying directions of the first conveying component 310, the second conveying component 410, and the third conveying component 340 may be parallel to the second direction S2.

[0083] Please see Figure 6 Combined Figure 13 In one embodiment, in the second direction S2, the third conveying member 340 is located at the end of the first conveying member 310 near the second conveying member 410.

[0084] Please see Figure 13 In one embodiment, the third conveying component 340 includes a third support 341 and a third conveying structure 342. The third conveying structure 342 is disposed on the third support 341 and is used to drive the workpiece to move, thereby realizing the conveying of the workpiece. The third conveying structure 342 can be configured to convey the workpiece by means of conveyor belt conveying, friction wheel conveying, roller conveying, etc.

[0085] Please see Figure 13 Combined Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first transfer component 300 further includes a fourth conveying component 350, which is located at the end of the first conveying component 310 away from the third conveying component 340, and is used to dock with the feeding line component 30.

[0086] It is understood that the drive modules such as the shifting module, rotating module, transfer module 320, and screening module 420 described in various embodiments can be configured as linear motor modules or other modules with linear drive functions. The actuators described in various embodiments can be configured as linear actuators such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods.

[0087] The unloading line assembly 40 can transport workpieces to other workstations. Alternatively, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the inspection device 10 further includes a feeding table 50, to which the feeding line assembly 40 conveys workpieces for packaging processes such as traying and packing. As one example, of the multiple feeding line assemblies 40, only a portion extending to the feeding table 50 may be configured to convey workpieces that pass inspection. The remaining feeding line assemblies 40 are used to convey workpieces that fail inspection.

[0088] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
