Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection equipment, and in particular relates to a product side wall appearance detection device. Background Art
[0002] In conventional product side appearance inspection equipment, a visual camera parallel to the product side wall is mainly used to photograph the product side wall, and then a software system (i.e., visual software) is used to identify the photographed photo to determine whether there are defects in the product side wall.
[0003] With the improvement of the aesthetics of electronic devices and the pursuit of a better grip, electronic equipment manufacturers nowadays generally chamfer, round or other design features on the outer edges of electronic devices. Since the design features on the outer edges are generally not on the same parallel plane as the side walls of the products, when the visual camera shoots the side walls of the products, the outer edges (i.e. the design features) of the side walls of the products shown in the photos are deformed, displaced or blocked, thus affecting the accuracy of appearance inspection.
