It can be understood that the field of view of the upper-line scanning component 51 is toward the second surface of the board to be sorted.

[0107] In this embodiment, the online scanning component 51 can detect the first surface of the plate to be sorted, and the offline scanning component 52 can detect the second surface of the plate to be sorted; only when the first surface and the second surface are both qualified, can the plate to be sorted be determined to be a qualified part; when the first surface and / or the second surface is unqualified, the plate to be sorted is determined to be an unqualified part, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the conveying detection device for the plate to be sorted.

[0120] Specifically, when the second pick-and-place mechanism 7 absorbs the panels to be sorted from the conveying mechanism 4 and drives the panels to be sorted to move, the panels to be sorted will pass through the shooting station of the offline scanning component 52, so that the offline scanning component 52 will detect the second surface of the panels to be sorted; when the panels to be sorted are unqualified products, the second pick-and-place mechanism 7 will transfer the unqualified panels to be sorted to the waste storage mechanism 9; when the panels to be sorted are qualified products, the second pick-and-place mechanism 7 will transfer the qualified panels to be sorted to the finished product storage mechanism 8.
