[0003] Such an approach may improve the measurement accuracy, but it cannot meet the requirements of the factory production line. For the workpieces produced rapidly and in large quantities in industry, they cannot be placed one by one on the carrier platform waiting for the film thickness detection device to complete the detection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a film thickness detection device applicable to the factory production line, especially the assembly line. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve various problems of the existing film thickness detection devices and propose a film thickness detection device for an assembly line.

[0005] To achieve the above and other purposes, the utility model proposes a film thickness detection device for an assembly line, which includes: a camera lens; a lifting module, including a pedestal and a lifting part, the lifting part moves relative to the pedestal along the axial direction; a rotation module, power-connected to the pedestal, the rotation module provides rotational power to make the pedestal rotate around the axial direction; and a pitching module, including a connecting part and a pitching part, the connecting part connects the lifting part, one side of the pitching part connects the camera lens, and the other side of the pitching part is movably connected to the connecting part to change the angle between the camera lens and the axial direction.

[0006] Optionally, the connecting part is provided with an arc surface, and the pitching part slides along the arc surface to change the angle between the camera lens and the axial direction.

[0007] Optionally, it further includes a programmable logic controller, which is signal-connected to the lifting part, the rotation module, the pitching part and the camera lens.

[0031] To fully understand the present utility model, the following specific embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will be used to describe the present utility model in detail. Those skilled in the art can understand the purpose, features, and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the present utility model can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the inventive point of the present utility model. In addition, the drawings of the present utility model are only simple schematic illustrations and are not drawn according to actual dimensions. The following embodiments will further detail the related technical content of the present utility model, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the claims of the present utility model. The description is as follows:

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the film thickness detection device 100 for an assembly line according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a camera lens 1, a lifting module 2, a rotating module 3, and a pitching module 4.

[0033] The camera lens 1 is, for example, a high-speed camera lens with a Charge-coupled Device (CCD), which can quickly capture images of a large number of high-quality workpieces S. The camera lens 1 can also be other types of optical lenses.

[0034] The lifting module 2 includes a pedestal 21 and a lifting part 22, and the lifting part 22 moves relative to the pedestal 21 along the axial direction d1. Generally, the axial direction d1 is the direction of gravity, and the lifting part 22 rises or falls in the direction of gravity. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the axial direction d1 can be adjusted to any suitable direction. The way the lifting part 22 moves relative to the pedestal 21 can be achieved by any component that can provide reciprocating power, such as a motor or a cylinder.

[0035] The rotating module 3 is power-connected to the pedestal 21, and the rotating module 3 provides rotational power to rotate the pedestal 21 around the axial direction d1. The rotating module 3 is, for example, a rotating motor or other component that can provide forward and reverse rotation. When the rotating module 3 rotates the pedestal 21, the lifting part 22 located on the pedestal 21 is also rotated accordingly.

[0036] The pitching module 4 includes a connecting part 41 and a pitching part 42. The connecting part 41 is connected to the lifting part 22, one side of the pitching part 42 is connected to the camera lens 1, and the other side of the pitching part 42 is movably connected to the connecting part 41 to change the angle between the camera lens 1 and the axial direction d1. The connecting part 41 is the part that is relatively fixed to the pitching part 42, but when the lifting part 22 rises and falls, it will also drive the connecting part 41 and the pitching part 42 to rise and fall together; and when the rotating module 3 rotates the pedestal 21, the lifting part 22, the connecting part 41, and the pitching part 42 are also rotated together.

[0037] Since the camera lens 1 is connected to the pitching part 42, the camera lens 1 forms an angle with the axis direction d1. When the pitching part 42 moves, the angle between the camera lens 1 and the axis direction d1 will also change accordingly. When the lifting part 22 moves up and down, the height of the camera lens 1 can be changed; and when the rotating module 3 rotates the turntable 21, the camera lens 1 will rotate around the axis direction d1.

[0038] In summary, the film thickness detection device 100 for the production line of the present utility model can freely adjust and change the multi-axes and multiple directions of the camera lens 1 to better cooperate with the workpieces S passing quickly on the production line. By slightly adjusting the camera lens 1, the film thickness on the workpiece S can be measured more accurately.

[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the connecting part 41 is provided with an arc surface 411, and when the pitching part 42 slides along the arc surface 411, the angle between the camera lens 1 and the axis direction d1 can be changed. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the pitching part 42 can change the angle between the camera lens 1 and the axis direction d1 in other ways.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the film thickness detection device 100 further includes a programmable logic controller 5 (PLC), which is signal-connected to the lifting part 22, the rotating module 3, the pitching part 42 and the camera lens 1. The programmable logic controller 5 analyzes the images captured by the camera lens 1 and correspondingly adjusts the moving strokes that the lifting part 22, the rotating module 3 and / or the pitching part 42 need to change, so as to better cooperate with various factors such as the type, conveying speed, and film thickness of the workpiece S on the production line.

[0041] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the film thickness detection device 100 further includes a discharging module 6, which is signal-connected to the programmable logic controller 5. The discharging module 6 is, for example, a knocking device with a cylinder or a jet head, which pushes the workpieces determined to be unqualified by the images captured by the camera lens 1 through the programmable logic controller 5 away from the production line; the discharging module 6 can also be, for example, a sorting device, which swings and separates on the production line to guide the unqualified workpieces to different positions. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the discharging module 6 can be of various forms to distinguish qualified and unqualified products on the production line.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it further includes a conveying module 7, which conveys the workpiece S along a conveying direction d2 different from the axis direction d1, and the camera lens 1 faces the surface of the conveying module 7 to capture the appearance of the workpiece S. The conveying module 7 is, for example, a conveyor belt, but the present utility model is not limited thereto.

[0043] The present utility model has been disclosed in the above with preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that any equivalent changes and substitutions to the embodiments should be set to be covered within the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the content scope defined by the claims.
