DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a device for improving the uniformity of LED light sources includes an LED light group, a reflector 3 and a cavity 4. A shooting component 6 is placed in a closed cavity 4. In this embodiment, the material of the cavity 4 is aluminum alloy. The cavity 4 is a cuboid with a length, width and height of 15mm×10mm×24mm respectively. There are two shooting components 6, which are divided into an upper shooting component and a lower shooting component. Both adopt oblique angle shooting and are arranged above and below the cigarette pack conveying track 7, and are axially symmetrically distributed. The upper shooting component is located above the cigarette pack conveying track 7, at an angle of about 45° to the cigarette pack conveying track 7, and the lower shooting component is located behind the cigarette pack conveying track 7, at an angle of about 45° to the cigarette pack conveying track 7.

[0021] The LED light group is a cylinder, and each LED light group is composed of 9 LED lamp beads 9, which are arranged linearly. The LED lamp beads 9 are placed in the LED lamp cover 10. The LED lamp cover 10 is made of cylindrical acrylic material with a diameter of 10mm, which is conducive to the uniform scattering of the light source. The LED light groups are fixed on the cavity 4 and are respectively located on both sides of the shooting component 6. The first LED light group 1 is installed on the left side of the shooting component 6 above the cigarette package conveying track 7, and the second LED light group 2 is installed on the right side to form an LED light group. In this embodiment, the overall position of the first LED light group 1 is about 70mm higher than the shooting component 6, and the overall position of the second LED light group 2 is about 50mm higher than the shooting component 6, and they are arranged in an "L" shape. The LED light groups are all parallel to the shooting component 6, that is, the optical axis of the LED light group is parallel to the optical axis of the shooting component 6. The reflectors 3 are rectangular parallelepiped, respectively located above and below the cigarette pack conveying track 7, and parallel to the cigarette pack conveying track 7. In this embodiment, the distance between the reflectors 3 and the cigarette pack conveying track 7 is 30 mm, and the horizontal distance between the two sets of reflectors 3 is the width of the cigarette pack, which is 66 mm. The reflectors 3 can be adjusted left and right by loosening the fixing nuts 8 to find the best reflection effect.

[0022] When the device is in working state, the visual inspection system first locates the cigarette package to be inspected. After the cigarette package enters the inspection area, the camera assembly 6 is triggered to take a photo, and the LED light group is triggered to flash at the same time. The LED light source is scattered to the surface of the cigarette package and the reflector 3, so that the surface of the cigarette package is evenly illuminated, the light contrast is reduced, and the lighting is uniform. Through the cooperation of the LED light group and the camera assembly 6, the position of the light source is adjusted by adjusting the position of the LED light group. The camera assembly senses the cigarette package at a certain angle, analyzes the cigarette package image with the help of image analysis software, and removes unqualified cigarette packages.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
