After continuous research, design, and repeated trial production of samples and improvement, the present utility model with practical value has finally been created.

The detection camera 1 can directly photograph and detect the front of the workpiece, and the mirror group 2 can refract the image of the back of the workpiece to the detection camera 1 through the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22, so that a detection camera 1 can detect the entire circumferential surface of the workpiece. A light source assembly 3 includes a first light source 31 and a second light source 32. The light-emitting side of the first light source 31 faces the first mirror 21, and the light-emitting side of the second light source 32 faces the second mirror 22; the first light source 31 and the second light source 32 are separated from each other to form a light channel, and the detection camera 1 is located in the light channel. The first light source 31 and the second light source 32 are used to better illuminate the workpiece. On the one hand, the first light source 31 and the second light source 32 can directly illuminate the side of the workpiece close to the detection camera 1; on the other hand, the light emitted by the first light source 31 is reflected by the first mirror 21, and the light emitted by the second light source 32 is reflected by the second mirror 22, so as to illuminate the side of the workpiece far from the detection camera 1, so that the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece can be better illuminated.

[0048] It should also be added that the first mirror 21 shoots the workpiece surface image through the light channel to the detection camera 1, and the second mirror 22 shoots the workpiece surface image through the light channel to the detection camera 1. The detection camera 1 is located in the interval between the first light source 31 and the second light source 32, and can also prevent the light of the light source assembly 3 from directly irradiating the detection camera 1 and affecting the detection accuracy.

In this embodiment, the detection camera 1 can also detect the top end of the workpiece at the same time to judge whether there are defects on the surface of the top end of the workpiece.

[0050] Optionally, the vision detection device further includes a second coaxial light source 5; the second coaxial light source 5 is installed on one side of the bottom of the mirror group 2 to illuminate the bottom end of the workpiece, and the second coaxial light source 5 is equipped with a beam splitter 44 to reflect the bottom end image of the workpiece to the detection camera 1.

[0051] Optionally, along the center line direction of the detection camera 1, the detection camera 1, the light source assembly 3, and the mirror group 2 are sequentially arranged at intervals. The mirror group 2 is opposite, and the detection camera 1 is located at the rear side of the light source assembly 3. At this time, the light source assembly 3 serves as a backlight assembly, which can effectively avoid interfering with the detection effect of the detection camera 1 and make the detection accuracy of the detection camera 1 better.

[0052] Optionally, the mirror surface of the first mirror 21 faces the first light source 31, and the mirror surface of the second mirror 22 faces the second light source 32.

[0053] Optionally, both the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22 are plane mirrors; in another specific embodiment, both the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22 are curved mirrors. The curved mirrors can refract the entire back image of the large workpiece more completely into the detection camera 1, which cannot be achieved by plane mirrors.

[0054] Optionally, the included angle between the mirror surfaces of the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22 is 120°, and the center line of the lens of the detection camera 1 forms an angle of 60° with both the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22. That is, the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the lens center line.

[0055] Optionally, a vertical gap 201 for the workpiece to pass through is formed between the first mirror 21 and the second mirror 22, and a horizontal gap 301 for the workpiece to pass through is provided between the first coaxial light source 4 and the second coaxial light source 5. In this way, the workpiece can be input to the set detection workpiece along an inclined direction to avoid bumping into other components. For example, the workpiece can be transported by passing through the vertical gap 201 and the horizontal gap 301 through a transparent conveyor belt.

[0056] Optionally, the first coaxial light source 4 includes a housing 41, a first lamp board 42, a diffusion plate 43, and a beam splitter 44; the first lamp board 42 and the diffusion plate 43 are both installed in the housing 41, and the light emitted by the first lamp board 42 sequentially passes through the diffusion plate 43 and the beam splitter 44 and is projected onto the workpiece; the structure of the second coaxial light source 5 is the same as that of the first coaxial light source 4.

[0057] Optionally, the first light source 31 includes an opaque housing 311 and a second lamp board 312; the second lamp board 312 is installed in the opaque housing 311; the opaque housing 311 is used to prevent the light emitted by the second lamp board 312 from directly irradiating the detection camera 1; the structure of the second light source 32 is the same as that of the first light source 31.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of the specification of this application, the patent protection scope of this application cannot be limited thereby. Any technical solutions obtained by equivalent structure or equivalent process substitution or modification based on the essential concept of this application and using the content recorded in the text and drawings of the specification of this application, as well as the direct or indirect implementation of the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, etc., are all included in the patent protection scope of this application.
