[0003] Surface defect detection of hub motor parts is a critical step in the production process. Surface defects of hub motor parts will affect several aspects of their use: If there are scratches, dents and other defects on the surface of hub motor parts, it will cause uneven flow of current, increase resistance, and thus reduce the conversion efficiency of the motor; if there are serious defects on the surface of motor parts, it will accelerate internal wear and shorten service life;

[0004] Hub motors are all judged manually, which has the following disadvantages: relying on manual labor, it is impossible to complete the detailed distribution of defects in various areas; it is impossible to complete the quantitative analysis of the severity of defects in each component; defects rely on manual experience, and there are differences in manual experience, and it is impossible to form a stable and unified defect quantification result; the lack of the above-mentioned refined distribution, severity quantification and unified quantification reduces the efficiency and accuracy of defect detection; the defect detection process is completed by manual experience, and the relevant experience of defect processes and smart factory systems cannot be effectively accumulated;
