[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, the present utility model discloses a tape appearance detection device 10, which includes a cabinet 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a detection mechanism 300 and a blanking mechanism 400. The conveying mechanism 200, the detection mechanism 300 and the blanking mechanism 400 are respectively arranged on the top of the cabinet 100. Among them, the conveying mechanism 200 extends from one end to the other end of the top of the cabinet 100. The detection mechanism 300 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 200, and the blanking mechanism 400 is arranged at the end of one end of the conveying mechanism 200. Thus, the conveying mechanism 200 can convey the tape products to be detected. When the tape products are conveyed to the detection mechanism 300, the detection mechanism 300 can detect the appearance of the tape products, such as whether there are defects such as abnormal winding, defects, burrs, tears, bubbles, foreign objects, wrinkles, etc. of the tape, and can measure the dimensional parameters of the tape products to determine whether the tape products meet the factory requirements. When the tape products pass the appearance detection and meet the factory requirements, they are blanked through the blanking mechanism 400. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 200 includes a first conveying unit 210 and a second conveying unit 220. The first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 are connected end to end to form a circulating conveying path. Among them, the detection mechanism 300 and the blanking mechanism 400 are both arranged on one side of the first conveying unit 210, so that the tape products can be conveyed to the detection mechanism 300 through the first conveying unit 210 for detection and conveyed to the blanking mechanism 400 for blanking. The second conveying unit 220 is used to circulate the order products with abnormal initial appearance detection to the input end of the first conveying unit 210 for re-conveying to the detection mechanism 300 for secondary detection, so as to improve the accuracy of the detection results.

[0033] Further, the conveying mechanism 200 further includes a plurality of carriers 230, and the plurality of carriers 230 are respectively connected to the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 in a cooperative manner. Thus, the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 can cooperate to drive the plurality of carriers 230 to move cyclically along the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220. Specifically, each carrier 230 includes a carrier plate 231 and a positioning member 232. The carrier plate 231 is mounted on the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220, so that the carrier plate 231 can move cyclically along the first conveying unit 210, the second conveying unit 220, and the first conveying unit 210 in sequence; the positioning member 232 is cooperatively installed on the top surface of the carrier plate 231. In practical applications, the positioning member 232 can cooperate with the tape product, so that the tape product can be stably connected to a preset position on the surface of the carrier plate 231 through the positioning member 232, in order to cooperate with the acquisition end of the detection mechanism 300, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the detection mechanism 300. In one embodiment, the positioning member 232 and the tape product are in a socket connection relationship, that is, the tape product is socketed to the outer surface of the positioning member 232, so as to be limited to a preset position on the surface of the carrier plate 231; in one embodiment, the positioning member 232 is arranged at the geometric center of the carrier plate 231, which is more conducive to the full utilization of the bearing area of the carrier plate 231 and can also maximize the avoidance of interference between the tape product and the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220, thus affecting the normal progress of appearance detection.

[0034] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 200 further includes two material transfer components 240. The two material transfer components 240 are respectively connected to two connection points between the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220. That is, one of the material transfer components 240 is disposed between the output end of the first conveying unit 210 and the input end of the second conveying unit 220, and the other material transfer component 240 is disposed between the output end of the second conveying unit and the input end of the first conveying unit. The tape products are conveyed transitively between the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220 through the corresponding material transfer components 240. Specifically, each material transfer component 240 includes two lifting units 241 and a pushing unit 242; the four lifting units 241 are respectively disposed at the head and tail ends of the first conveying unit 210 and the head and tail ends of the second conveying unit 220; the pushing unit 242 is mounted on the top sides of the corresponding two lifting units 241; the output end of each lifting unit 241 is correspondingly matched with each carrier plate 231. In practical applications, when the detection mechanism 300 detects that the tape product carried by a carrier 230 has an abnormal appearance, the carrier 230 is conveyed to the top side of the lifting unit 241 at the output end of the first conveying unit 210. The output ends of the corresponding adjacent two lifting units 241 rise to lift the carrier 230 and the tape product. At this time, the pushing unit 242 pushes the carrier 230 carrying the tape product to the adjacent lifting unit 241, so as to realize the transit conveying between the first conveying unit 210 and the second conveying unit 220. Subsequently, the lifting unit 241 at the input end of the second conveying unit 220 drives the carrier 230 to descend until it cooperates with the second conveying unit 220 for subsequent conveying, and then it is cyclically conveyed to the first conveying unit 210 through another material transfer component 240 for a second appearance inspection to improve the detection accuracy. If the second appearance inspection result of the tape product is still abnormal, an unqualified appearance inspection result is output.

[0035] Furthermore, each material transfer component 240 further includes a transition plate 243. The transition plate 243 is disposed between two adjacent lifting units 241. When the carrier 230 is conveyed transitively through the material transfer component 240, the pushing unit 242 pushes the carrier 230 to move from one lifting unit 241 to another lifting unit 241 via the transition plate 243, so as to ensure the stable progress of the pushing process. In one embodiment, the lifting unit 241 is set as a lifting cylinder; in one embodiment, the pushing unit 242 is set as a first linear guide rail, and the slider of the first linear guide rail is connected with a push plate. When the corresponding lifting unit 241 drives the carrier 230 to rise, the push plate cooperates and abuts against the corresponding carrier 230, so that the first linear guide rail can drive the push plate to push the carrier 230 to the adjacent lifting unit 241.

[0036] Further, the detection mechanism 300 is set as a CCD appearance detection device. The CCD appearance detection device is arranged on one side of the first conveying unit 210. Moreover, the CCD camera and the CCD light source of the CCD appearance detection device are arranged on the top side of the corresponding carrier 230 passing through the detection mechanism 300 to perform appearance detection on the tape product carried by the carrier 230.

[0037] Further, the blanking mechanism 400 includes a handling component 410 and a blanking component 420. The handling component 410 is arranged at the output end of the first conveying unit 210. That is to say, the handling component 410 is arranged at the rear end of the detection mechanism 300 along the material conveying direction of the first conveying unit 210, so that the handling component 410 can handle the tape products with qualified appearance detection; the blanking component 420 is arranged at the output end of the handling component 410. Driven by the handling component 410, the blanking component 420 can clamp the product from the output end of the first conveying unit 210 and then move to an externally adapted blanking chute for discharging, thereby completing the blanking of qualified products. Specifically, the handling component 410 is set as a second linear guide rail, and the second linear guide rail is connected to the top of the cabinet 100 through a mounting bracket; the blanking component 420 is set as a pneumatic gripper, and the pneumatic gripper is connected to the surface of the slider of the second linear guide rail through a driving cylinder, so that the pneumatic gripper can perform a certain range of lifting movement relative to the handling component 410 to facilitate the picking and placing of qualified products by the pneumatic gripper. In practical applications, the products with qualified appearance after being detected by the detection mechanism 300 are blanked through the blanking mechanism 400 at the output end of the first conveying unit 210; the initially unqualified pieces in appearance detection can be circularly conveyed to the first conveying unit 210 through the second conveying unit 220 for secondary appearance detection; if the secondary appearance detection is qualified, it is blanked through the blanking mechanism 400, and if it is still unqualified, it is determined as a defective product, and then it is blanked through the second conveying unit 220 in combination with an external material taking device or manually recycled separately.

[0038] In summary, the tape appearance inspection device disclosed in the utility model can convey the tape product to be inspected through a conveying mechanism; when the tape product is conveyed to the inspection mechanism, the inspection mechanism can inspect the appearance of the tape product, such as whether there are defects such as abnormal winding, defects, burrs, tears, bubbles, foreign matter, wrinkles, etc. of the tape, and can measure the size parameters of the tape product to determine whether the tape product meets the factory requirements; when the tape product passes the appearance inspection and meets the factory requirements, it is unloaded through the unloading mechanism. Specifically, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying unit and a second conveying unit, and the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit are connected end to end to form a circular conveying path, wherein the inspection mechanism and the unloading mechanism are both arranged on one side of the first conveying unit, so that the tape product can be conveyed to the inspection mechanism for inspection through the first conveying unit, and conveyed to the unloading mechanism for unloading; the second conveying unit is used to circulate the delivery product with abnormal appearance in the initial inspection to the input end of the first conveying unit, so as to be conveyed to the inspection mechanism for secondary inspection again, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection result.
