[0039] This utility model provides a shadowless light source and a vision detection system, which are applicable to the application scenario of performing shadowless illumination on a workpiece to complete vision detection, and can effectively solve the problem that the existing light source device is prone to form a shadow area due to a single irradiation direction, affecting the vision detection accuracy.

[0040] See Figure 1 , the vision detection system provided in this embodiment includes a shadowless light source for illuminating the workpiece 100 to be measured and an imaging component for performing vision detection on the workpiece 100 to be measured.

[0041] Among them, the shadowless light source includes an annular light source 1 and a central light source 2 located at the central position of the annular light source 1.

[0042] A central hole is provided at the center position of the annular light source 1, and a light-emitting surface 1012 with an inward concave arc surface structure is provided at the bottom of the annular light source 1 for obliquely irradiating the workpiece 100 to be measured downward; the central light source 2 is located at the central hole of the annular light source 1 for vertically irradiating the workpiece 100 to be measured downward.

[0043] For the shadowless light source provided in this embodiment, the central light source 2 irradiates the workpiece 100 to be measured vertically downward, and the light-emitting surface 1012 of the annular light source 1 has an inward concave arc surface structure so as to obliquely irradiate the workpiece 100 to be measured downward. Thus, the workpiece 100 to be measured can be irradiated from multiple angles, and further the problem that the existing light source device is likely to form a shadow area due to a single irradiation direction and affect the visual inspection accuracy is solved.

[0044] The annular light source 1 includes an annular light diffusing block 101, a ring-shaped lamp board 102, an annular light shielding plate 103, an annular heat dissipation base 104, an annular upper cover plate 105, and an annular lower cover plate 106.

[0045] On the side of the annular light diffusing block 101 away from the annular light source 1, a light incident surface 1011 is provided, and the light-emitting surface 1012 is located on the bottom surface of the annular light diffusing block 101. The thickness dimension of the annular light diffusing block 101 gradually decreases in the direction close to the central light source 2 so that the bottom surface of the annular light diffusing block 101 forms an inward concave arc surface structure.

[0046] The ring-shaped lamp board 102 is located on the side of the annular light diffusing block 101 away from the annular light source 1 and is disposed opposite to the light incident surface 1011. The annular light shielding plate 103 is located on the side of the annular light diffusing block 101 close to the central light source 2 to prevent the light inside the annular light shielding plate 103 from laterally entering the central light source 2.

[0047] The ring-shaped lamp board 102 is fixedly arranged inside the annular heat dissipation base 104; the annular upper cover plate 105 is fixedly arranged on the top of the annular heat dissipation base 104; the annular lower cover plate 106 is fixedly arranged on the bottom of the annular heat dissipation base 104.

[0048] The light emitted by the ring-shaped lamp board 102 is irradiated into the annular light diffusing block 101 through the light incident surface 1011. After the annular light diffusing block 101 diffuses the light, the workpiece 100 to be measured is obliquely illuminated downward through the light-emitting surface 1012 with an inward concave arc surface structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, the central light source 2 includes a central cover plate 201 fixedly connected to the annular light source 1, a planar lamp board 202 fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the central cover plate 201, and a planar diffusing plate 203 located below the planar lamp board 202 and fixedly connected to the central cover plate 201. The planar lamp board 202 emits light downward, and after passing through the planar diffusing plate 203, it can directly irradiate the workpiece 100 to be measured vertically downward.

[0050] In summary, the shadowless light source and the vision detection system provided in this embodiment have the following advantages: The central light source 2 irradiates the workpiece 100 to be measured vertically downward, and the light-emitting surface 1012 of the annular light source 1 has an inwardly concave arc surface structure so as to irradiate the workpiece 100 to be measured obliquely downward. Thus, the workpiece 100 to be measured can be irradiated from multiple angles, thereby solving the problem that the existing light source device is likely to form a shadow area due to a single irradiation direction, which affects the vision detection accuracy.

[0051] 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.
