[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Such asFigures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the embodiments of the present utility model include:

[0019] An automatic optical inspection device, including a machine platform 1, a through-hole backlight 2, a vision camera 3, a clamping air claw 4, a six-axis manipulator 5, a loading tooling 6, and a commutation tooling 7. A through-hole backlight 2 is arranged on the machine platform 1, a vision camera 3 is horizontally arranged at the center of the through-hole backlight 2, a clamping air claw 4 is matched within the field of view of the vision camera 3, the clamping air claw 4 is installed on the six-axis manipulator 5, a loading tooling 6 and a commutation tooling 7 are arranged within the operating range of the six-axis manipulator 5, a first clamping space 8 for matching the clamping air claw 4 is reserved in the X-axis direction on the loading tooling 6, and a second clamping space 9 for matching the clamping air claw 4 is reserved in the Z-axis direction on the commutation tooling 7.

[0020] Wherein, an auxiliary light source 10 is arranged on the machine platform 1, and the auxiliary light source 10 and the through-hole backlight 2 are distributed around the clamping air claw 4 at an interval of 90°.

[0021] Furthermore, the loading tooling 6 is composed of a pair of opposite-side shelves 11 horizontally erected on the machine platform 1. A first clamping space 8 is formed between the opposite-side shelves 11, and a limiting block 12 and an avoidance opening 13 are arranged on the opposite-side shelves 11.

[0022] Furthermore, the commutation tooling 7 is composed of a rotary cylinder 14 horizontally arranged on the machine platform 1 and a pair of upright limiting seats 15 carried on the rotary cylinder 14. A profiling slot 16 is opened on the upright limiting seats 15, a C-shaped retaining wall 17 is formed around the profiling slot 16 on the upright limiting seats 15, and a second clamping space 9 is formed between the upright limiting seats 15.

[0023] Furthermore, the upright limiting seats 15 semi-surround to form a product vertical accommodation space 18, and first fiber optic sensors 19 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower edges of the product vertical accommodation space 18.

[0024] Furthermore, the surface of the opposite-side shelf 11 is semi-surrounded by the limiting block 12 to form a product horizontal accommodation space 20, and second fiber optic sensors 21 are respectively arranged on both sides in the X-axis direction of the product horizontal accommodation space 20.

[0025] This device uses a six-axis manipulator 5 to grab the frequency converter for optical inspection. The main body shape of the frequency converter is close to a flat cuboid. During the loading process, one side of the frequency converter must be placed on the upper surface of one of the opposite-side shelves 11, and at the same time, it is aligned and tightly abutted against the surrounded area of the limiting block 12, and the other side is placed on the upper surface of the other opposite-side shelf 11, thereby realizing positioning and calibration, which is convenient for the manipulator to accurately grab the material.

[0026] The clamping gripper 4 on the six-axis manipulator 5 is equipped with a clamping plate 41, and a urethane rubber is installed on the clamping plate 41. The surface of the urethane rubber is designed with 45° oblique lines. The clamping plate 41 will be loaded by the six-axis manipulator 5 to the first clamping space 8 to grab the frequency converter. The clamping plate 41 acts on the first pair of sides 42 of the frequency converter and is sent to the field of view of the vision camera 3 for photographing. The surface where the first pair of sides 42 clamped by the clamping gripper 4 is located and the surface facing the clamping gripper 4 will both be blocked. Therefore, the six-axis manipulator 5 also has to transfer the frequency converter to the commutation tooling 7, place the frequency converter vertically on the upright limit seat 15, and the C-shaped retaining wall 17 provides lateral balance support. During the transfer process, the rotary cylinder 14 flips the surface originally facing the clamping gripper 4 by 180 degrees. At the same time, the six-axis manipulator 5 rotates the clamping gripper 4 by 90 degrees to match the position of the clamping plate 41 to the second clamping space 9, and then clamps the second pair of sides 44 to expose the first pair of sides 42 in the field of view of the vision camera 3. Thus, the six surfaces of the frequency converter can be correctly collected. To solve the abnormality caused by the skew and misalignment of the frequency converter, the device also adds a first fiber optic sensor 19 and a second fiber optic sensor 21 on both sides of the first clamping space 8 and the second clamping space 9. Through the first fiber optic sensor 19 and the second fiber optic sensor 21, it can automatically judge whether the position of the material is accurate. In order to avoid the upright limit seat 15 blocking the detection of the first fiber optic sensor 19, a pair of avoidance openings are opened on the C-shaped retaining wall 17 so that the optical path passes through the upright limit seat 15 to realize automatic skew determination.

[0027] In summary, the present utility model provides an automatic optical inspection device. By means of temporarily placing the material on the upright limit seat 15 to realize the commutation of the clamping gripper 4, and the rotary cylinder 14 exchanges the positions of the front and back of the product, it can automatically realize the acquisition and shooting of six views, thus significantly improving the optical inspection efficiency.

[0028] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
