Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graphic recognition, in particular to a graphic recognition-based sorting device. Background Art
[0002] Circuit boards make circuits miniaturized and intuitive, and play an important role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layout. In actual use, some components need to be protected, usually with conformal coatings.
[0003] Generally, after the components of the circuit board are installed, the surface of the circuit board is sprayed with conformal coating. When spraying the conformal coating, the circuit board needs to be heated after the conformal coating is sprayed during the manual placement process. Because the circuit board surface is overheated and the conformal coating is not completely dry, the staff may not pay attention and touch the circuit board components, which may cause the components to fall off. In addition, during the painting process of the circuit board, different circuit boards need to be programmed with different programs, which may cause errors in the running trajectory of the conformal coating nozzle. Some components of the circuit board need to be painted, but some components should not be sprayed with conformal coating. In order to prevent the conformal coating nozzle from being in a high position and causing the conformal coating spray to scatter and fall on other components, the conformal coating nozzle will be adjusted to a very low position to ensure accurate spraying of the conformal coating, but at the same time, the conformal coating nozzle may hit the components on the circuit board during operation, causing the components on the circuit board to fall off.
[0004] After spraying the three-conformal paint, inspection is still required. Some factories use ultraviolet light for irradiation and then manual observation. However, the manual inspection method is easily affected by factors such as the environment and the subjective state of people, which leads to missed inspections during the inspection process. Manual inspection not only reduces the progress of product production and increases human resources, but also mainly inspects the spraying position of the three-conformal paint after spraying the three-conformal paint. Based on the fact that the components have been inspected before, the components on the circuit board have not been inspected again in time. In addition, some existing inspection agencies have a single inspection of the three-conformal paint of components, and often focus on the inspection of the position of the three-conformal paint. The components on the circuit board are not inspected in time, resulting in product defects. In addition, some existing agencies have a single inspection of the three-conformal paint and the circuit board. All components have been tested, and during rework, the circuit boards with problems will be reworked uniformly, but the problems are different, and the rework work areas are also different. It is necessary to waste manpower to classify the products according to different problems, and then transport the circuit boards to the three-defense area and component area according to different errors. Due to the different minor errors and the possibility of multiple errors, there are problems with the reworked products, but the work area staff do not know what went wrong, so the work area staff modify it according to their own inspections. However, due to the wide variety of circuit boards and inconsistent standards worked by the work area staff, there may be manual errors in the inspection of different circuit boards, resulting in some errors in the reworked circuit boards not being resolved in a timely manner, which may cause secondary rework.
[0005] To this end, the utility model provides a sorting device based on graphic recognition to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A plurality of ultraviolet lamps are arranged on the inner side wall of the detection box 31. A fixed frame 33 is arranged on the inner side of the detection box 31.

[0037] A collecting box 5 is placed on the conveyor belt 21 . A PCB board 4 is arranged inside the collecting box 5 . Numbers are set on the collecting box 5 .
[0038] Working process:
[0039] When the collection box 5 is transported to the designated position inside the detection box 31, it is detected by the infrared device 34, so that the conveyor belt 21 stops conveying, the industrial camera 394 starts shooting, and the industrial computer 32 gives electrical signals to the first drive motor 35 and the second drive motor 36, and causes the first transmission belt 37 and the second transmission belt 38 to transmit. The transmission of the first transmission belt 37 drives the Y moving plate 391 to move along the Y guide rail 393, and the transmission of the second transmission belt 38 drives the X moving plate 39 to move along the X guide rail 392, so that the industrial camera 394 fully inspects the collection box 5. After one inspection, the industrial computer 32 starts the ultraviolet lamp on the inner side wall of the detection box 31, and the industrial camera 394 shoots again to avoid secondary inspection and avoid errors in components caused by ultraviolet rays during shooting. The three-proof paint coating on the PCB board 4 is inspected against the standard, and any problems are recorded and transmitted to the work area.
[0040] Categorize the problem boards:
[0041] The conveyor belt 21 conveys the collection box 5 to the inside of the detection box 31, and the industrial camera 394 takes a picture and transmits it to the industrial computer 32. After the image analysis, the arrangement of components in the PCB board 4 is automatically identified, and the detection standard of the PCB board 4 is automatically found. When it is detected that the components of the PCB board 4 are damaged and detached, according to the program set by the industrial computer 32, an electrical signal is given to the motor inside the multi-directional sorting board 22, so that the multi-directional sorting board 22 and a motor inside the multi-directional sorting board rotate forward, so that the rotating sorting board 23 as a whole rotates The left side rotates 90 degrees and another motor is used to drive the inclined guide wheel 24, so it is kept started, so that the transmission shaft 25 rotates, and the rotation of the transmission shaft 25 drives the inclined guide wheel 24 to rotate, so that the collection box 5 on the multi-directional sorting plate 22 is transported to the left conveyor belt 21, so that the collection box 5 is transported from the left conveyor belt 21 to the designated position and collected in sequence, and the industrial computer 32 compiles and counts the number and the defect information that occurs, so as to facilitate the subsequent transmission of the information directly to the work area. When an error is detected in the spraying of the three-proof paint of the PCB board 4, according to the industrial computer industrial The program set in the computer 32 gives an electrical signal to the motor inside the multi-directional sorting plate 22, so that the multi-directional sorting plate 22 and a motor inside the multi-directional sorting plate rotate forward, so that the rotating sorting plate 23 rotates 90 degrees to the right as a whole. Another motor is used to drive the inclined guide wheel 24, so it is always kept started, so that the transmission shaft 25 rotates, and the rotation of the transmission shaft 25 drives the inclined guide wheel 24 to rotate, thereby transporting the collection box 5 on the multi-directional sorting plate 22 to the left conveyor belt 21, so that the collection box 5 is transported from the right conveyor belt 21 to the designated position and collected in sequence. It is convenient for subsequent rework to be compared one by one. When it is detected that the three-proof paint and components on the PCB board 4 are all wrong, the PCB board 4 passes through the first multi-directional sorting plate 22 to the second multi-directional sorting plate 22 and is collected. When the inspection side collection box 5 is accurate, the inclined guide wheel 24 on the multi-directional sorting plate 22 does not deflect. According to different problems, the circuit board is transported to different positions, which is convenient for rapid rework of the circuit board. When the inspection is qualified, the rotating sorting plate 23 does not deflect, driving the inclined guide wheel 24 to keep running, so that the product is transported to the specified position.
