DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0037] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] A circuit board AOI equipment, such as Figure 1-11 As shown, it includes a chassis 1. Specifically, the two sides of the chassis 1 are a loading side and a unloading side, respectively. The worker loads the circuit board into the jig 3 on the loading side, and takes the circuit board out of the jig 3 on the unloading side. Specifically, the circuit board is the main control circuit board of the vehicle-mounted Dalian screen. The staff can also manually re-inspect the circuit board on the unloading side of the chassis 1 to further improve the accuracy of circuit board detection. An annular conveyor line 2 is arranged in the chassis 1, and a jig 3 for carrying the circuit board is arranged on the conveyor line 2. An AOI detection structure 4 is arranged on the inner side of the conveyor line 2 in the chassis 1, and a chromaticity detection structure 5 is arranged at the subsequent station of the AOI detection structure 4. Specifically, the AOI detection technology is an optical automatic detection technology, and the function of the chromaticity detection structure 5 is to optically re-inspect the circuit board. A fill light structure 6 is arranged between the bottom end of the AOI detection structure 4 and the conveyor line 2. The light emitted by the fill light structure 6 illuminates the surface of the circuit board, providing sufficient brightness for the AOI camera 401 to shoot, thereby avoiding the situation where the position on the circuit board is not illuminated clearly.

[0040] See also Figure 3-6 The fixture 3 includes a frame 301, a carrier plate 302 is arranged on the top surface of the frame 301, and a bottom plate 303 is arranged at the bottom end of the frame 301. The frame 301 is used to carry the circuit board body, and the bottom plate 303 in the frame 301 is used to place the circuit board. The carrier plate 302 on the frame 301 is used to provide a shooting frame for the AOI camera 401, so that the AOI camera 401 can shoot the circuit board more clearly, and at the same time, it also maintains the stable transportation of the circuit board on the conveyor line 2. Two parallel driving chains 202 are arranged in the conveyor line 2. The driving chain 202 is driven by the driving wheel 201. The driving wheel 201 makes the driving chain 202 circulate in a rotating state, and the fixture 3 is installed on the driving chain 202 and moves with the driving chain 202.

[0041] See also Figure 3-4 , Figure 7-11The AOI detection structure 4 includes an AOI camera 401 facing vertically downward. A horizontal adjustment structure is provided at the AOI camera 401. The AOI camera facing vertically downward is used to perform optical detection on the circuit board in the fixture 3, which effectively improves the detection accuracy of the circuit board and prevents the problems of missed detection and wrong detection in manual detection. A left-right adjustment mechanism 403 and a front-back adjustment mechanism 404 are provided on the mounting bracket of the AOI camera 401. The position of the AOI camera in the horizontal direction is adjusted by the front-back adjustment mechanism 404 and the left-right adjustment mechanism 403 of the AOI camera 401, so that the lens of the AOI camera can be aligned with the circuit board body in the fixture 3. A focusing mechanism 405 is provided in front of the lens of the AOI camera 401. The AOI camera 401 is focused by the focusing structure in front of the lens of the AOI camera 401, so that the picture taken by the AOI camera can be clearer, which can further improve the accuracy of AOI detection.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] A circuit board AOI equipment, such as Figure 1-11 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the difference from Example 1 lies in that the AOI detection structure 4 is provided with side cameras 402 on both sides of the AOI camera 401, and the side cameras 402 are arranged obliquely to the conveyor line 2. The side cameras 402 on both sides of the AOI camera 401 respectively shoot toward the fixture 3 at angles different from those of the AOI camera 401, and fully utilize the three-dimensional shooting angle of the components to fully and accurately shoot and detect the electronic components on the circuit board, thereby further improving the accuracy of AOI detection.

[0044] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the circuit board to be inspected is placed in the jig 3 at the feeding end of the chassis 1, the circuit board moves in the jig 3 along the direction of the conveyor line 2, and is inspected by the AOI inspection structure 4 and the chromaticity inspection structure 5 in turn, and finally is manually re-inspected at the unloading end of the chassis 1. After an accurate inspection result of the circuit board is obtained, the circuit board is removed from the jig 3, and the unloaded jig is transported along the conveyor line 2 for half a circle and then returns to the feeding end of the chassis 1.

[0045] Although an embodiment of the utility model has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is only an explanation of the utility model and is not a limitation of the utility model. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contribution as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the utility model. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the utility model, they are protected by patent law.
