Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of optical detection, in particular to a defect detection system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the industrial production process, defect detection is an important step in many product quality inspection links. For example, for defect detection in the production process of mask blank substrates, the traditional detection method uses manual visual inspection to judge, which often consumes a lot of manpower and time. These manpower and time are reflected in the overall production cost in the long run. With the advancement of defect detection technology, automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems have emerged to detect defects, using optical lenses instead of human eyes for detection. However, in some factories, the mask blank substrates are manually moved for comprehensive inspection during the inspection process. The operators directly contact the products, and the particles of dust and other pollutants on the hands / body of the operators are easy to fall on the products. Moreover, one product is usually inspected at a time, and the inspection efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

In different embodiments of the present invention, the order of the steps can be adjusted according to the adjustment of the process.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a defect detection system includes a dust-free operating table 1, a product carrying device 2, a camera 3, an adjustable light source device 4, and an image processing device 5.

[0040] The dust-free operating table 1 comprises a work surface 11 , a side wall 12 and a supporting structure 13 below the work surface.

[0041] The product carrying device 2 is disposed on the work surface 11 and is used to carry the product to be tested. The product carrying device 2 includes a carrying structure 21 , a first track 22 , a second track 23 , and a third track 24 .

[0042] The supporting structure 21 includes a supporting body 25 and fourth rails 26 located at two ends of the supporting body 25 .

[0043] The first track 22 is fixedly connected to the work surface 11. The second track 23 is fixedly connected to the third track 24, and the third track 24 is located on the second track 23, and the two are perpendicular to each other. The second track 23 is slidably connected to the first track 22. The third track 24 is slidably connected to the fourth track 26 of the bearing structure 21.

[0044] The first track 22 and the second track 23 slide together so that the supporting structure 21 moves in the Y direction (moves forward and backward). The third track 24 and the fourth track 26 slide together so that the supporting structure 21 moves in the X direction (moves left and right).

[0045] The bearing body 25 includes a plurality of bearing slots 26, which have no bottom, which is equivalent to the bearing body 25 being hollowed out. The bearing slots 26 are configured to accommodate the product to be tested. The bearing slots are provided with card slots 27 on opposite sides thereof for fixing the product to be tested. During the test, the two sides of the product are fixed with a fixture or other fixing tool, and when the product is placed in the bearing slot 26, the fixture or other fixing tool is placed in the card slot 27. During the test, the operator pushes the bearing structure 21 to move in the X / Y direction so that the camera can capture the image of each product.

[0046] The bearing body 25 is provided with a plurality of bearing slots 26, which can increase the number of products inspected at one time and improve the inspection efficiency.

[0047] The camera 3 is disposed on the work surface 11 and is used to obtain images of the product.

[0048] The camera 3 is connected to the image processing device 5, and the camera 3 transmits the image of the product to the image processing device 5. The image processing device 5 has built-in image processing software, which detects whether the product has defects based on the image of the product. The image processing software includes AOI software and AI software. 80% of the defects are first detected by AOI software, while the defects that are difficult to identify and unclear are handed over to AI for final decision. AI can imitate humans to a certain extent and apply "rules of thumb" to image recognition, so that the remaining 20% ​​of the problems can be solved.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the image processing device 5 may be a computer, which is internally configured with image processing software, such as AIO software and AI software.

[0050] The adjustable light source device 4 is arranged on the work surface 11, and the light source emitting end of the adjustable light source device 4 is aimed at the product to be tested, so as to illuminate the product to be tested with oblique light. The light intensity emitted by the adjustable light source device 4 is adjustable, and the intensity of the light source is adaptively adjusted. In conjunction with the camera, the sensitivity and standard value of the detection are appropriately increased to reduce missed detection and over-killing.

[0051] Optionally, the defect detection system further includes a fixed light source, which is arranged on the side wall of the dust-free operating table 1 .

[0052] Optionally, the defect detection system further includes an air blowing device, which is arranged on the side wall of the dust-free operating table 1, and the air outlet is directly facing the product carrying device 2, so as to prevent dust particles from falling on the product surface during the detection process. A filter is arranged at the air outlet of the air blowing device to filter dust and prevent dust from being blown onto the product surface.

[0053] Optionally, the defect detection system further includes a wind speed detection device, which is arranged at the air outlet of the air blowing device, and is used to monitor the wind speed at the air outlet of the air blowing device and transmit data to the image processing device 5 so as to adjust the wind speed.

[0054] In another embodiment of the utility model, the product carrying device 2 can also be moved by electric control, by setting a servo motor and a transmission device to drive the bearing structure 21 of the product carrying device 2 to move in the X / Y direction, and a motor control module is set inside the image processing device 5 to control the operation of the servo motor, and the motor control module is connected to the servo motor. The servo motor is arranged on the dust-free operating table 1, the servo motor is connected to the transmission device, and the bearing structure 21 is connected to the transmission device, and the transmission device converts the rotational motion of the servo motor into a linear movement of the bearing structure 21. Two groups of servo motors and transmission devices are set, one of which is responsible for the X-direction movement of the bearing structure 21, and the other is responsible for the Y-direction movement of the bearing structure 21. The operation of the servo motor and the transmission device drives the second track 23 to slide with the first track 22, and the third track 24 to slide with the fourth track 26. The transmission device can be, for example, a conveyor belt.

[0055] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described in this application document, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only shown as examples. Under the guidance of the present invention, those skilled in the art can think of numerous variations, alternatives and improvements without exceeding the scope of the present invention.
