Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of visual inspection technology, and in particular to a comprehensive inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] After the heat sink, such as the VC heat sink, is manufactured, a comprehensive visual inspection of the dimensions and appearance of each side is required to ensure that it meets the standards for leaving the factory.
[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN201811433958.4 discloses a visual inspection device, including a feeding system, an unloading system, and a rotary table. The rotary table, along its rotation direction, is sequentially equipped with a feeding station, multiple first end-face inspection stations, a flipping station, multiple second end-face inspection stations, and an unloading station. The feeding system is used to feed the parts to be inspected into the feeding station. The multiple first end-face inspection stations are used to inspect the dimensions and defects of various parts on the first end face of the parts, and each first end-face inspection station is equipped with a first end-face inspection device matching the required inspection items of that station. The multiple second end-face inspection stations are used to inspect the dimensions and defects of various parts on the second end face of the parts, and each second end-face inspection station is equipped with a second end-face inspection device matching the required inspection items of that station. The flipping station is equipped with a flipping device to flip the parts from first end-face upward to second end-face upward, enabling the multiple second end-face inspection stations after the flipping station to inspect the second end face of the parts. The parts that have been inspected are transferred to the unloading station and sent out of the rotary table by the unloading system.
[0004] However, with the above structure, each station is closely arranged along a single rotary path, resulting in a fixed and compact layout. When it is necessary to add or adjust the testing items, the addition or reduction of stations and the adjustment of space will be severely restricted by the circular layout. The equipment has insufficient expandability and flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of flexible adjustment of testing processes or parallel testing. With multiple testing stations concentrated on the same rotary table, the limited space may cause interference between the light sources or fields of view of different testing devices, affecting the testing accuracy.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to overcome the aforementioned defects. Summary of the Invention

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a comprehensive inspection device corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a first X-axis transfer platform 100, including a first carrier plate 110 carrying products and a first X-axis module 120 driving the first carrier plate 110 to rotate along the X-axis direction; a second X-axis transfer platform 200, arranged side by side with the first X-axis transfer platform 100 along the Y-axis direction, including a second carrier plate 210 carrying products and a second X-axis module 220 driving the second carrier plate 210 to rotate along the X-axis direction; a first inspection device 300, located on the flow path of the first carrier plate 110, for visual inspection of the products; and a second inspection device... Device 400, located on the flow path of the second carrier plate 210, is used for visual inspection of products; feeding device 500, located on one side of the first X-axis transfer platform 100 and the second X-axis transfer platform 200 in the X-axis direction, is used to load the product to be inspected onto the first carrier plate 110, or to unload the inspected product from the second carrier plate 210; flipping device 600, located on the other side of the first X-axis transfer platform 100 and the second X-axis transfer platform 200 in the X-axis direction, is used to remove the product inspected by the first inspection device 300 from the first carrier plate 110, flip it, and place it into the second carrier plate 210.
[0065] The present invention adopts the above-described structure, which greatly improves the modularity and layout flexibility of the equipment compared with the traditional rotary scheme: the two transfer platforms can operate and expand independently, making it easy to freely add, remove or adjust the detection stations in the X-axis direction and adapt to different detection process requirements; in the present invention, the feeding device 500, the first X-axis transfer platform 100, the flipping device 600 and the second X-axis transfer platform 200 together constitute a highly compact material flow loop. This layout greatly saves the floor space, the flow path is clear and compact, and unnecessary movement is reduced; by distributing the first detection device 300 and the second detection device 400 at different transfer platforms, optical and spatial interference in the detection process is effectively avoided, thereby significantly improving the scalability, production cycle and overall reliability of the equipment while ensuring high-precision detection.
[0066] Furthermore, the infeed side of the first X-axis transfer platform 100 and the discharge side of the second X-axis transfer platform 200 are located on the same side, and the feeding device 500 is disposed on this side. The first X-axis module 120 and the second X-axis module 220 are both linear modules arranged along the X-axis direction. The first carrier plate 110 can be moved to the infeed side under the drive of the first X-axis module 120, and the second carrier plate 210 can be moved to the discharge side under the drive of the second X-axis module 220, so that the feeding device 500 can load the product to be inspected onto the first carrier plate 110 located on the infeed side, and remove the inspected product from the second carrier plate 210 on the discharge side.
[0067] The discharge side of the first X-axis transfer platform 100 and the infeed side of the second X-axis transfer platform 200 are located on the same side, and the flipping device 600 is located on this side. The first carrier plate 110 can be moved to the discharge side under the drive of the first X-axis module 120, and the second carrier plate 210 can be moved to the infeed side under the drive of the second X-axis module 220, so that the flipping device 600 can remove the product detected by the first detection device 300 from the first carrier plate 110 on the discharge side, flip it 180°, and place it on the second carrier plate 210 on the infeed side.
[0068] Furthermore, a first carrier assembly 130 is provided on the first carrier plate 110, and at least one first carrier assembly 130 is arranged side by side along the Y-axis direction. In this embodiment, there are two sets of first carrier assemblies 130 to accommodate two products simultaneously. A first Y-axis module 140 is connected between the first X-axis module 120 and the first carrier plate 110. The products on each first carrier assembly 130 are adapted to flow sequentially through the detection range of the first detection device 300 along the Y-axis direction under the drive of the first Y-axis module 140, ensuring that the products on each first carrier assembly 130 can be reliably detected. The first Y-axis module 140 is a linear module arranged along the Y-axis direction, which is a known structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0069] A second carrier plate 210 is provided with a second carrier assembly 230, and at least one second carrier assembly 230 is arranged side by side along the Y-axis direction. In this embodiment, there are two sets of second carrier assemblies 230 to accommodate two products simultaneously. A second Y-axis module 240 is connected between the second X-axis module 220 and the second carrier plate 210. The products on each second carrier assembly 230 are adapted to flow sequentially through the detection range of the second detection device 400 under the drive of the second Y-axis module 240, ensuring that the products on each second carrier assembly 230 can be reliably detected. The second Y-axis module 240 is a linear module arranged along the Y-axis direction, which is a known structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0070] Further, in this embodiment, the first detection device 300 includes a first size detection mechanism 310, a first appearance detection mechanism 320, and a first 3D detection mechanism 330 arranged sequentially along the X-axis. The first 3D detection mechanism 330 is closer to the flipping device 600 than the first size detection mechanism 310 and the first appearance detection mechanism 320. During detection, the product on the first carrier plate 110 first passes through the first size detection mechanism 310 for frontal size detection, then flows to the first appearance detection mechanism 320 for frontal appearance detection, and finally flows to the first 3D detection mechanism 330 for 3D detection of the front and edges of the product. Admittedly, in other embodiments, the above-mentioned detection mechanisms can be added, removed, or replaced according to actual needs, and the present invention does not limit this.
[0071] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the first size detection mechanism 310 is located outside the first X-axis module 120 in the Y-axis direction. It includes a first bracket 311 and a size detection camera 312 disposed on the first bracket 311. The size detection camera 312 is located above the first carrier plate 110, and its imaging end is arranged downwards. The first carrier plate 110 is adapted to flow directly below the size detection camera 312 under the drive of the first X-axis module 120. The product on the first carrier plate 110 is arranged with its front face upwards, so that the size detection camera 312 can acquire the front dimensions of the product.
[0072] The first appearance inspection mechanism 320 is located outside the first X-axis module 120 in the Y-axis direction. It includes a second bracket 321 and an appearance inspection camera 322 mounted on the second bracket 321. The appearance inspection camera 322 is located above the first carrier plate 110, with its imaging end facing downwards. The first carrier plate 110 is adapted to flow under the appearance inspection camera 322 under the drive of the first X-axis module 120, so that the appearance inspection camera 322 can capture the front appearance of the product.
[0073] The first 3D inspection mechanism 330 is located outside the first X-axis module 120 in the Y-axis direction. It includes a third support 331 and two first 3D cameras 332 mounted on the third support 331, arranged opposite each other along the Z-axis direction. The first carrier plate 110 is adapted to flow between the two first 3D cameras 332 under the drive of the first X-axis module 120. The upper first 3D camera 332 can acquire the front 3D outline of the product, while the two first 3D cameras 332 can complementaryly acquire the edge 3D outline of the product.
[0074] In this embodiment, the product is a VC heat spreader, and its non-edge areas are quite delicate. Preferably, the first support component 130 only contacts the edges of the product to avoid damaging it. However, this method can easily obscure the edges of the product, making it difficult for the first 3D camera 332 to accurately capture the complete 3D outline of the product's edges.
[0075] As a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each first carrier component 130 includes a first carrier 131 and a second carrier 132 arranged side-by-side along the X-axis. Both the first carrier 131 and the second carrier 132 have a first contouring portion 133 extending through them along the Z-axis, adapted to the outline of the product facing upwards. The first contouring portion 133 is a through hole, and its size is larger than the outer contour size of the product. The inner wall of the first contouring portion 133 has protruding support portions 134 for supporting the product edges. Several support portions 134 are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the first contouring portion 133. The first carrier plate 110 has a first clearance portion 111 extending through it along the Z-axis, adapted to the first contouring portion 133, to avoid obstructing the edges of the product. Both the upper and lower first 3D cameras 332 can clearly capture the edge outline of the product.
[0076] However, after the product is placed on the support portion 134, although the spaced-apart support portions 134 can avoid obstructing the product's edges, the product edges located on the support portions 134 will still be obstructed when the first 3D camera 332 below captures the product edges, affecting the shooting accuracy. Therefore, in this embodiment, the support portions 134 of the first carrier 131 and the support portions 134 of the second carrier 132 are staggered, that is, the product edges obstructed by the support portions 134 of the first carrier 131 are different from those obstructed by the support portions 134 of the second carrier 132. The product is first placed on the first carrier 131, and the first 3D camera 332 accurately captures the unobstructed edges. Then, the product is placed on the second carrier 132, and the first 3D camera 332 accurately captures the remaining unobstructed edges. The two combined form the complete edge of the product.
[0077] Furthermore, the top surface of the support portion 134 is preferably flush with the top surface of the first carrier 131, allowing the edges of the product to be exposed and improving shooting accuracy. Both the first carrier 131 and the second carrier 132 are vacuum adsorption carriers, and each support portion 134 has a first adsorption hole 135 on its top surface to reliably adsorb the product and prevent it from shifting position during transit. Preferably, the cross-section of the support portion 134 perpendicular to the Z-axis gradually increases from bottom to top, making the channel between two adjacent support portions 134 form a funnel-shaped structure, facilitating easier capture of the product's edges by the first 3D camera 332 below.
[0078] Because of the above structure, it is necessary to transfer the product from the first carrier 131 to the second carrier 132. In this embodiment, referring to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first inspection device 300 includes a first transport mechanism 340 arranged adjacent to the first 3D inspection mechanism 330. The first transport mechanism 340 is used to transfer the product from the first carrier 131 to the second carrier 132.
[0079] The first handling mechanism 340 includes a first pick-and-place gripper 341 and a first Z-axis module 342. The first pick-and-place gripper 341 is a vacuum nozzle structure located above the first carrier plate 110 and is used to pick up and place products. The nozzle portion of the first pick-and-place gripper 341 may adopt a flexible structure to avoid damaging the products. The first Z-axis module 342 is an axis module arranged along the Z-axis direction, which is suitable for driving the first pick-and-place gripper 341 to move closer to or away from the first carrier plate 110 along the Z-axis direction. Through the cooperation of the first X-axis module 120 and the first Z-axis module 342, the first pick-and-place gripper 341 can pick up the products on the first carrier 131 and transfer the products to the second carrier 132.
[0080] Since there are two first vehicles 131 and two second vehicles 132, there are also two first pick-up and place grippers 341. The first X-axis module 120 can drive the first vehicle 131 to flow directly below the first pick-up and place gripper 341, so that the first pick-up and place gripper 341 corresponds to the first vehicle 131 one by one. The first X-axis module 120 can also drive the second vehicle 132 to flow directly below the first pick-up and place gripper 341, so that the first pick-up and place gripper 341 corresponds to the second vehicle 132 one by one.
[0081] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the second detection device 400 includes a second size detection mechanism 410, a second appearance detection mechanism 420 and a second 3D detection mechanism 430 arranged sequentially along the X-axis direction. The second size detection mechanism 410 is closer to the flipping device 600 than the second appearance detection mechanism 420 and the second 3D detection mechanism 430.
[0082] Specifically, the second dimension detection mechanism 410 is located outside the second X-axis module 220 in the Y-axis direction, and has the same structure as the first dimension detection mechanism 310, to obtain the back dimension of the product. The second appearance detection mechanism 420 is located outside the second X-axis module 220 in the Y-axis direction, and has the same structure as the first appearance detection mechanism 320, to obtain the back appearance of the product.
[0083] The second 3D inspection mechanism 430 is located outside the second X-axis module 220 in the Y-axis direction. It includes a second 3D camera 431 located above the second carrier plate 210. The imaging end of the second 3D camera 431 is arranged downward to obtain the 3D profile of the back of the product.
[0084] Furthermore, in actual production, the product discharged from the feeding device 500 after detection may flow out face-up or back-up, depending on the actual process requirements. Preferably, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, each second carrier component 230 includes a third carrier 231 and a fourth carrier 232 arranged side by side along the X-axis direction. The third carrier 231 is used to accommodate the product with its back facing up, and the fourth carrier 232 is used to accommodate the product with its front facing up.
[0085] After the flipping device 600 flips the product, the third carrier 231 can receive the product and transfer it to the second inspection device 400 for various back-side inspections. After the inspections are completed, the product flows back to the feeding device 500. Alternatively, after the inspections are completed, the product can flow back to the flipping device 600, which flips the product and places it into the fourth carrier 232, then returns it to the feeding device 500. This allows the feeding device 500 to receive products with the front or back facing up as needed, while avoiding the need for additional flipping structures to flip the product, thus simplifying the structure.
[0086] Furthermore, the top surface of the third carrier 231 is a bearing surface, and it is recessed inward to form a second contoured portion 233 for avoiding non-edge areas of the product. The second contoured portion 233 can be a groove or a hole, and its contour matches the contour of the product with its back side facing upward. The top surface of the fourth carrier 232 is a bearing surface, and it is recessed inward to form a third contoured portion 234 for avoiding non-edge areas of the product. The contour of the third contoured portion 234 matches the contour of the product with its front side facing upward.
[0087] In this embodiment, the third carrier 231 and the fourth carrier 232 are both vacuum adsorption carriers. Their bearing surfaces are provided with a plurality of second adsorption holes 235 distributed along the edge of the product. The edge of the product is supported on the bearing surface and is adsorbed by the second adsorption holes 235, so as to prevent the product from shifting during the flow process.
[0088] Furthermore, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the feeding device 500 includes a loading mechanism 510, a first unloading mechanism 520, a second unloading mechanism 530, and a second conveying mechanism 540. The loading mechanism 510 is used to transport a tray 550 containing products to be tested to a loading station. The first unloading mechanism 520 is used to transport an empty tray 550 to a first unloading station. The second unloading mechanism 530 is used to transport an empty tray 550 to a second unloading station. The loading station, the first unloading station, and the second unloading station are preferably located on the same straight line parallel to the Y-axis. The second conveying mechanism 540 is adapted to convey products from the tray 550 at the loading station to a first carrier plate 110, and to convey qualified products from the second carrier plate 210 to the tray 550 at the first unloading station, and to convey unqualified products from the second carrier plate 210 to the tray 550 at the second unloading station.
[0089] The feeding mechanism 510, the first unloading mechanism 520, and the second unloading mechanism 530 have the same structure and are arranged side by side along the Y-axis. Taking the feeding mechanism 510 as an example, the feeding mechanism 510 includes a transfer platform 511 and a drive module 512. The transfer platform 511 is used to accommodate the material tray 550, and there are two of them, which are staggered. The drive module 512 is adapted to drive the two transfer platforms 511 to move in opposite directions along the X-axis, so that when one transfer platform 511 is in the feeding position, the other transfer platform 511 is in the picking and placing position of the material tray 550. The drive module 512 can use a motor and a synchronous belt to realize the synchronous reverse movement of the transfer platforms 511, which is a known structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0090] The second handling mechanism 540 includes a third Y-axis module 541, a third X-axis module 542, a second Z-axis module 543, a rotary module 544, and a second pick-and-place gripper 545. The third Y-axis module 541, the third X-axis module 542, and the second Z-axis module 543 are all linear modules. The third X-axis module 542 is drive-connected to the third Y-axis module 541, the second Z-axis module 543 is drive-connected to the third X-axis module 542, the rotary module 544 is drive-connected to the second Z-axis module 543, and the second pick-and-place gripper 545 is drive-connected to the rotary module 544. It is located above the loading mechanism 510, the first unloading mechanism 520, and the second unloading mechanism 530, and is used for picking up and placing products.
[0091] The second pick-and-place gripper 545 is a vacuum nozzle structure, suitable for moving along the X, Y, and Z axes under the drive of the aforementioned linear module, to transfer products between the loading mechanism 510, the first unloading mechanism 520, the second unloading mechanism 530, the first X-axis transfer platform 100, and the second X-axis transfer platform 200. The rotary module 544 can drive the second pick-and-place gripper 545 to rotate around the Z-axis to adjust the posture of the product and ensure that its position reliably flows to the corresponding mechanism. There are also two second pick-and-place grippers 545, so that two products can be placed into different first carriers 131 at the same time, or two products can be removed from different fourth carriers 232.
[0092] Furthermore, referring to Figure 12 As shown, the flipping device 600 includes a fourth Y-axis module 610, a third Z-axis module 620, a flipping module 630, and a third pick-and-place gripper 640. The fourth Y-axis module 610 and the third Z-axis module 620 are both linear modules. The third Z-axis module 620 is driveably connected to the fourth Y-axis module 610, the flipping module 630 is driveably connected to the third Z-axis module 620, and the third pick-and-place gripper 640 is driveably connected to the flipping module 630. The fourth Y-axis module 610 and the third Z-axis module 620 are adapted to drive the third pick-and-place gripper 640 to transfer the product from the first X-axis transfer platform 100 to the second X-axis transfer platform 200. The flipping module 630 is adapted to rotate the product 180° around the X-axis.
[0093] Furthermore, the third pick-and-place gripper 640 is a vacuum nozzle structure, and there are two of them, corresponding one-to-one with the second carrier 132 and / or the fourth carrier 232. Preferably, the third carrier 231 is closer to the flipping device 600 than the fourth carrier 232. The third carrier 231 and the second carrier plate 210 are recessed inward on the side facing the flipping device 600 in the X-axis direction to form a second clearance portion 236. The second clearance portion 236 extends upward along the Z-axis to the bearing surface of the third carrier 231. The second clearance portion 236 is used to avoid the flipped third pick-and-place gripper 640 so that the third pick-and-place gripper 640 can reliably place the flipped product in the third carrier 231.
[0094] The working process of the comprehensive testing equipment of the present invention is as follows: The feeding mechanism 510 conveys the tray 550 containing the product to be tested to the feeding station; the first unloading mechanism 520 and the second unloading mechanism 530 respectively convey the empty tray 550 to the first unloading station and the second unloading station; the first carrier plate 110 moves along the X-axis to the feeding side; the second conveying mechanism 540 conveys the product from the feeding station to the first carrier 131; the first carrier plate 110 moves along the X-axis to the discharge side and flows sequentially through the first size detection mechanism 310, the first appearance detection mechanism 320 and the first 3D detection mechanism 330 to obtain the front dimensions, front appearance and 3D contour of the product; after the first 3D detection mechanism 330 detects the product, the first conveying mechanism 340 picks up the front of the product to remove it from the first carrier 131 and places it in the second carrier 132; the first 3D detection mechanism 330 performs a second detection on the product to ensure that the entire edge contour of the product can be accurately detected. Preliminary inspection; after inspection, the first carrier plate 110 moves to the discharge side, the flipping device 600 picks up the front of the product on the second carrier 132 and rotates the product 180° so that its back side is turned up and transferred to the third carrier 231 of the second carrier plate 210. The second carrier plate 210 flows sequentially along the X-axis through the second dimension inspection mechanism 410, the second appearance inspection mechanism 420 and the second 3D inspection mechanism 430 to obtain the back dimension, back appearance and 3D contour of the product. When the product needs to return to the feeding device 500 with its front side facing up, the second carrier plate 210 first moves to the flipping device 600 so that the flipping device 600 picks up the front of the product and rotates the product 180° before placing the product into the fourth carrier 232. Then the second carrier plate 210 moves to the feeding device 500, and the second conveying mechanism 540 selectively places the product into the tray 550 of the first unloading mechanism 520 or the second unloading mechanism 530 according to the inspection structure.
