[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] In the existing method of inspecting the transparent material 100 by observing the reflected or diffused light of the light source, the reflected light is easy to cause interference, and the diffused light is too weak, so only defects at specific angles can be observed, and subtle defects cannot be detected.

[0037] Based on this, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a transparent material defect detection device, referring to Figure 1 The device comprises a supporting platform 1, a light source 2, an optical module 3, a projection screen 4 and an image acquisition component 5, wherein:

[0038] The supporting platform 1 is used to carry the material 100 to be inspected;

[0039] The optical module 3 is arranged at the light-emitting end of the light source 2 to optimize the light;

[0040] The light emitted by the light source 2 is irradiated onto the material 100 through the optical module 3 and forms a projection pattern on the projection screen 4;

[0041] The image acquisition component 5 is arranged opposite to the projection screen 4 and is used for acquiring the projection image on the projection screen 4 .

[0042] The above-mentioned device is used to detect defects in transparent materials 100, and its operating principle is: the light emitted by the light source 2 is irradiated onto the material 100 through the optical module 3, and a projection pattern is formed on the projection screen 4. When the transmitted light passes through the defects on the material 100, it will affect the imaging of the original transmitted light, and finally be superimposed and presented on the projection screen 4; the optical module 3 can optimize the passing light and improve the clarity of the projection pattern; the image acquisition component 5 can be a camera, which can capture the projection pattern on the projection screen 4. By analyzing the image captured by the image acquisition component 5, it can be detected whether there are defects on the surface of the material.

[0043] The present application adopts a detection method of analyzing the projection pattern of the material 100, thereby avoiding the problem of overexposure of the camera orientation caused by too strong light; and the optical module 3 can optimize the passing light, thereby forming a clear projection pattern on the projection screen 4; by identifying and analyzing the projection pattern, it is possible to detect subtle defects on the material 100, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the transparent material 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, the light source 2 is a surface light source; the light source 2 is arranged opposite to the supporting platform 1, and the light source 2 and the projection screen 4 are arranged at opposite ends of the supporting platform 1, respectively.

[0045] Furthermore, the optical module 3 includes a telecentric lens group. Specifically, the light source 2, the telecentric lens group, the support platform 1, the projection screen 4 and the image acquisition component 5 are arranged in sequence along the direction of the light emitted by the light source 2. When working, the light emitted by the surface light source vertically penetrates the material 100 on the support platform 1 through the telecentric lens group to form a projection light, and the projection light is directly imaged on the projection screen 4; the image acquisition component 5 captures the projection pattern on the projection screen 4, and the defect detection result on the material 100 is obtained by analyzing the image captured by the image acquisition component 5.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , the defect detection device further includes a polarizer 6, which is arranged between the light source 2 and the supporting platform 1;

[0047] And / or, it also includes a polarizer 7, which is arranged between the image acquisition component 5 and the projection screen 4.

[0048] In the above structure, the light emitted by the light source 2 becomes linear polarized light with a vibration direction consistent with the polarization direction of the polarizer 6 after passing through the polarizer 6. The analyzer 7 is used to allow light with a specific vibration direction to pass through. Specifically, when the vibration direction of the linear polarized light formed by the polarizer 6 is parallel to the vibration direction of the analyzer 7, it can pass through completely; if it is not parallel or perpendicular, it can pass through partially or not at all. The polarizer 6 and the analyzer 7 can screen the light, thereby strengthening the defects on the material 100, which is convenient for subsequent identification and analysis.

[0049] In this embodiment, the light source 2, the optical module 3, the polarizer 6, the supporting platform 1, the projection screen 4, the analyzer 7 and the image acquisition component 5 are arranged in sequence.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 A clamping assembly for fixing the material 100 is provided on the support platform 1. The clamping assembly is used to limit the position of the material 100 to prevent the material 100 from shifting during the detection process and affecting the detection result.

[0051] Specifically, the support platform 1 includes a supporting plate 13, and the clamping assembly is installed on the supporting plate 13; the clamping assembly includes a plurality of clamping jaws 11 for clamping the material 100, and the plurality of clamping jaws 11 are arranged around the periphery of the material 100 on the supporting plate 13 for centering the material 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, the supporting plate 13 includes two supporting parts arranged at intervals, and a clamping claw 11 is respectively installed at both ends of each supporting part; the outer edge of the material 100 is overlapped on the two supporting parts; the four clamping claws 11 respectively clamp and fix the four positions around the material 100, thereby fixing the material 100 on the supporting platform 1.

[0053] In other embodiments, the material 100 may be suspended and fixed by a plurality of clamps 11 to prevent the support plate 13 from obstructing the passage of light, thereby enabling defect detection at the edge of the material 100 .

[0054] In this embodiment, an elastic pad 12 is provided between each clamping jaw 11 and the material 100; the provision of the elastic pad 12 can avoid damaging the material 100 on the one hand, and can increase the friction between the clamping jaw 11 and the material 100 on the other hand, further preventing the displacement of the material 100. The shape of the elastic pad 12 is adapted to the shape of the outer edge of the material 100, so that the outer edge of the material 100 can fit tightly with the elastic pad 12.

[0055] Furthermore, each clamping jaw 11 is provided with a fixed long hole. When placing the material 100, one end of the bolt is passed through the fixed long hole and screwed on the bearing plate 13, so that the clamping jaw 11 is installed on the bearing plate 13; the position of each clamping jaw 11 can be adjusted through the fixed long hole, so that the material 100 is clamped between multiple clamping jaws 11, and the centering limit of the material 100 is achieved.

[0056] In the above structure, due to the provision of the fixed long holes, the support platform 1 can be suitable for materials 100 of different sizes.

[0057] In other embodiments, each clamp 11 may be configured to be controlled to move by a driving source such as a cylinder or a motor; a plurality of clamps 11 may be driven by the driving source to move closer or farther synchronously to clamp or release the material 100 together.

[0058] Embodiment 2

[0059] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a transparent material defect detection device, which is different from the device provided in the first embodiment mainly in that the form of the light source 2 is different.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the light source 2 is a point light source, and the optical module 3 includes a light homogenizer. When working, the light emitted by the point light source passes through the light homogenizer to form a relatively uniformly distributed light, thereby forming a clear projection image on the projection screen 4.

[0061] Further, the light emitted by the light source 2 forms an acute angle with the material 100. Optionally, the angle between the light emitted by the light source 2 and the material 100 ranges from 30° to 60°, for example, the angle between the light emitted by the light source 2 and the material 100 can be 30°, 40°, 50° or 60°.

[0062] Specifically, the projection screen 4 and the image acquisition component 5 are arranged opposite to each other, and the support platform 1 and the light source 2 are arranged on one side of the projection screen 4 and the image acquisition component 5 to avoid interfering with the shooting of the image acquisition component 5. The light source 2, the optical module 3 (light homogenizer), the polarizer 6, the support platform 1 and the projection screen 4 are arranged in sequence along the direction of the light emitted by the light source 2, so that the light emitted by the light source 2 passes through the optical module 3 (light homogenizer), the polarizer 6 and the material 100 in sequence and is projected onto the projection screen 4.

[0063] Since an acute angle is formed between the incident light and the material 100 , an enlarged projection image of the material 100 can be formed on the projection screen 4 ; accordingly, minute defects on the surface of the material 100 are also magnified, thereby facilitating subsequent identification and analysis of the defects.

[0064] The rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment and will not be described again.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
