[0002] Before electronic components leave the factory, they need to be inspected for defects on their surfaces. Most connectors in the liquid crystal industry are three-dimensional structures. Compared with products with planar structures or relatively single inspection surfaces, the inspection of three-dimensional connectors 90 is somewhat difficult. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, some connectors are composed of a cube 91 and a tubular body 92. The tubular body 92 is integrally formed on the upper end face of the cube 91. The left side 91a, the right side 91b, and the front side 91c of the cube 91 are all planar structures, and its top surface 91d is connected to the tubular body 92.
