[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the down-illuminated AOI detector for detection includes a bottom plate 1. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. A top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame 2. A material box 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top plate 3. An optical detector 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate 3. A motor 6 is arranged inside the support frame 2. The side wall of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bottom plate 1. The output end of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 7. A rotating plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 7. A pushing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate 8. A rotating column 10 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. A limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column 10. The side wall of the pushing plate 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting plate 11. A rotating frame 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating column 10. A groove is arranged inside the rotating frame 13. The bottom of the material box 4 is in contact with the bottom surface of the groove of the rotating frame 13. The rotating column 10 is provided with an auxiliary component for transferring the PCB board after detection. The auxiliary component includes a material receiving plate 12 and a slideway 14. The inner wall of the material receiving plate 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating column 10. The upper surface of the material receiving plate 12 is in contact with the lower surface of the rotating frame 13. The side wall of the slideway 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the material receiving plate 12. Four through holes are arranged inside the rotating frame 13. A material dropping port is arranged at the connection between the material receiving plate 12 and the slideway 14. The through holes and the material dropping port are of the same size;

[0032] When performing the PCB board detection task, the operator needs to first place the PCB board inside the bin 4. After that, the PCB board at the bottom layer will be closely attached to the surface of the rotating frame 13. Immediately afterwards, the operator needs to start the motor 6 to drive the rotating plate 8 to rotate. The baffle 9 on the rotating plate 8 will slide along the inside of the limiting plate 11 and drive the limiting plate 11 to rotate, so as to achieve the effect that the rotating plate 8 rotates one week and the limiting plate 11 rotates intermittently by 90 degrees. During the rotation of the limiting plate 11, through the action of the rotating column 10, it will drive the rotating frame 13 to rotate. At this time, the PCB board at the bottom layer inside the bin 4 will slide into the inside of the rotating frame 13. As the rotating frame 13 continuously rotates intermittently, the PCB boards inside the bin 4 will continuously fall into the inside of the rotating frame 13. During this process, whenever the PCB board passes under the optical detector 5, the optical detector 5 will detect it. The optical detector 5 is an existing technology that can be checked and will not be elaborated here. The PCB board after being detected by the optical detector 5 will slide along the slideway 14 and finally reach the surface of the conveyor belt 17.

[0033] Refer to Figures 3 - 4 , a fixed rod 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 16. A rotating arm 19 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 16. A reset assembly is arranged between the fixed rod 18 and the rotating arm 19. A rubber plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating arm 19. The reset assembly includes a spring 20. One end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed rod 18, and the other end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rubber plate 21. A slide rail 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. A collection box 23 is slidably connected to the side wall of the slide rail 22. The collection box 23 is arranged at the bottom on one side of the mounting frame 16. A handle 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 23.

[0034] During the process of the PCB board sliding on the slideway 14, when its inertia exceeds a certain degree, it will hit the rubber plate 21 located below the slideway 14. This impact causes the rotating arm 19 to perform a rotational movement. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating arm 19 also drives the spring 20, causing it to undergo corresponding deformation. Once the inertia of the PCB board is weakened, the spring 20 will begin to return to its original state, which ensures that the PCB board can always be located in the middle of the conveyor belt 17, avoiding its deviation or slipping out of the conveyor belt 17. The PCB board will finally fall into the inside of the collection box 23. A sponge pad is laid inside the collection box 23, which can effectively buffer the impact force generated when the PCB board falls, thus avoiding the possibility of the PCB board being damaged during the falling process. When the detection work is completed, the staff can transfer the collection box 23 to other work positions through the handle 24.

[0035] Working principle: When using this device to detect the PCB board, first place the PCB board inside the material box 4. At this time, the bottommost PCB board will be in contact with the surface of the rotating frame 13. Then start the motor 6 to drive the rotating plate 8 to rotate. At this time, the baffle 9 on the rotating plate 8 will slide into the inside of the limiting plate 11 and drive it to rotate, achieving the effect that when the rotating plate 8 rotates one week, the limiting plate 11 rotates intermittently by 90 degrees. When the limiting plate 11 rotates, it will drive the rotating frame 13 to rotate through the rotating column 10. At this time, the bottommost PCB board inside the material box 4 will slide into the inside of the rotating frame 13. As the rotating frame 13 rotates intermittently continuously, the PCB boards inside the material box 4 will continuously fall into the inside of the rotating frame 13. When the PCB board passes under the optical detector 5, the optical detector 5 will detect it. The detected PCB board will slide to the surface of the conveyor belt 17 through the slideway 14. During the sliding process of the PCB board, when the inertia is too large, it will hit the rubber plate 21, causing the rotating arm 19 to rotate and pulling the spring 20 to deform. When the inertia weakens, the spring 20 will reset, achieving the effect of ensuring that the PCB board is always placed in the middle of the conveyor belt 17. The PCB board will finally fall into the inside of the collection box 23. A sponge pad is laid inside the collection box 23 to avoid damage to the PCB board when it falls. After the detection work is completed, the staff can transfer the collection box 23 to other positions through the handle 24.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
