Specific implementation manner
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment is a keyboard light transmission detection device 100, which includes a detection tooling 1, a first horizontal transfer module 2 that drives the detection tooling 1 to move horizontally between the loading station, the detection station, and the unloading station, a vision inspection unit 3 provided at the detection station, and an unloading handling unit 4 located at the unloading station.
[0032] This embodiment further includes a frame 5. At the loading station, there are a safety light curtain 51, a barcode scanner 52, and a start / stop switch button 53 installed on the frame 5. There is also a display 54 installed on the frame 5.
[0033] The detection tooling 1 includes a first support plate 11 driven by the first horizontal transfer module 2 to move horizontally, a second support plate 12 rotatably arranged on the first support plate 11, a motor 13 fixed on the first support plate 11 and driving the second support plate 12 to rotate around a horizontal axis, a keyboard positioning fixture 14 arranged on the second support plate 12, and a backlight source 15 arranged on the second support plate 12 and located below the keyboard positioning fixture 14.
[0034] For defects such as surface cracks, or for more precise identification of the side profile of the keycap, sometimes the upper vision camera alone cannot clearly identify them, and there is a risk of defective products flowing out due to defect or contour recognition failure. In this embodiment, a second support plate 12 capable of rotational movement is configured in the detection tooling 1, which can drive the keyboard positioning jig 14 to adjust the angle of the keyboard, so that the upper light source can irradiate the keyboard surface at a certain angle, thereby improving the accuracy and comprehensive coverage of the upper vision camera to capture crack defects or identify the contour, and improving the reliability of the detection result.
[0035] A support and limit plate 16 for supporting one side of the second support plate 12 to keep it horizontal is provided on the first support plate 11.
[0036] In order to achieve quick replacement of the keyboard positioning jig 14 and improve the versatility of the detection device, the structure of the detection tooling 1 is optimized in this embodiment. Specifically, a support and positioning structure 17 for facilitating quick replacement of the keyboard positioning jig 14 is provided on the second support plate 12. The support and positioning structure 17 together forms a support platform for supporting the keyboard positioning jig 14. The support and positioning structure 17 includes a first support block 171 for supporting the front side edge of the keyboard positioning jig 14, second support blocks 172 for supporting the left and right side edges of the keyboard positioning jig 14, and a third support block 173 for supporting the rear side edge of the keyboard positioning jig 14. A limit baffle 1731 for limiting the contour position of the rear side edge of the keyboard positioning jig 14 is provided on the third support block 173. Guide chutes 1721 for the keyboard positioning jig 14 to slide into the support platform are provided on the opposite side surfaces of the two second support blocks 172 on the left and right. The keyboard positioning jig 14 slides into the support platform from the front side along the guide chutes 1721, and is positioned by limiting the sliding depth through the limit baffle 1731. At the same time, the guide chutes 1721 can also limit the up and down freedom of the keyboard positioning jig 14 to realize the position limitation of the keyboard positioning jig 14, and can also lift the keyboard positioning jig 14 up by a certain height, so that there is enough height space below to set the backlight source 15.
[0037] In order to further improve the position stability of the keyboard positioning jig 14 on the support platform, a magnetic block 1732 can be provided on the vertical surface of the limit baffle 1731 according to requirements, and a magnetic block or a magnetic conductive block is provided at the corresponding position on the keyboard positioning jig 14, and the magnetic block 1732 is used to fix the position of the keyboard positioning jig 14.
[0038] In addition to the above structure, the support and positioning structure 17 can also adopt other mechanisms that can achieve quick change. For example, the support and positioning structure 17 includes several positioning pins (not marked in the figure) fixed on the second support plate 12 and a pressing member (not marked in the figure) that presses the keyboard positioning jig 14 onto the second support plate 12. The keyboard positioning jig 14 is provided with several positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning pins for positioning.
[0039] The keyboard positioning jig 14 includes a jig plate 141, a keyboard bearing area 142 provided on the jig plate 141, several positioning posts 143 arranged around the keyboard bearing area 142 and used for positioning the peripheral contour of the keyboard 200, and a key light connector module 144 provided on the jig plate 141 and used for lighting the key lights. The keyboard bearing area 142 is provided with several hollow slots 145 corresponding to the positions of the keycaps on the keyboard. The hollow slots 145 are used to allow the light of the backlight source 15 below to pass through and irradiate the lower surface of the keycaps, so as to detect items such as cracks and fissures.
[0040] The left and right sides of the jig plate 141 are provided with guiding step structures 1411 that cooperate with the guiding chute 1721.
[0041] The key light connector module 144 includes a lighting main board (not marked in the figure) provided on the jig plate 141, a pressing plate 1441 that is movably arranged up and down on the jig plate 141 and is located above the lighting main board, and a first air cylinder 1442 that drives the pressing plate 1441 to move up and down. During the test, the first air cylinder 1442 drives the pressing plate 1441 to move up and down according to the requirements of the test time nodes, so as to realize the conduction or disconnection of the circuit between the lighting main board and the keyboard.
[0042] The backlight source 15 completely covers the keyboard bearing area 142.
[0043] In order to ensure the stable position of the keyboard at the detection station and avoid the influence of areas outside the keyboard on the detection results, a cover plate module 18 is also provided at the detection station. The cover plate module 18 includes a cover plate 181 and a second air cylinder 182 fixed on the frame 5 and driving the cover plate 181 to move up and down. In the initial state, the cover plate 181 is in the high position. After the detection tooling 1 reaches the detection station, the cover plate 181 switches to the low position and covers the keyboard positioning jig 14. The cover plate 181 is provided with an avoidance slot 183 that exposes the keyboard area.
[0044] Since the keyboard positioning fixture 14 needs to tilt at a certain angle with the keyboard during the detection process, in order to prevent the positional stability of the keyboard in the tilted state, the cover plate 181 needs to tilt together with the keyboard positioning fixture 14. To achieve this function, a positioning structure for maintaining the closed state is provided on the relative surfaces of the fixture plate 141 and the cover plate 181. The positioning structure includes a first positioning member 1412 provided on the fixture plate 141 and a second positioning member (not marked in the figure) provided on the cover plate 181 and cooperating with the first positioning member 1412. In one embodiment, the first positioning member 1412 is a magnetic attraction block, and the second positioning member is a magnetic conductive block. In another embodiment, the first positioning member 1412 is a positioning hole, and the second positioning member is a positioning pin. A support seat 184 is provided at the movable end of the second cylinder 182, and a support positioning groove 1841 for supporting the end of the cover plate 181 is provided on the support seat 184. When the second cylinder 182 drives the support seat 184 to the high position, both ends of the cover plate 181 are seated in the support positioning groove 1841, and the cover plate 181 is lifted upward by the support seat 184; when the detection tooling 1 moves to the detection station, the second cylinder 182 drives the support seat 184 to move to the low position. At this time, the cover plate 181 is seated on the keyboard positioning fixture 14, and the relative positions of the two are stably closed through the positioning structure. When the keyboard positioning fixture 14 tilts at a certain angle, the cover plate 181 also tilts accordingly to meet the detection requirements.
[0045] The vision detection unit 3 includes a vision camera 31, an upper light source module (not marked in the figure), and a protective cover 32 that encloses the detection station to form a vision detection space.
[0046] The blanking handling unit 4 includes a second horizontal transfer module 41, a third support plate 42 driven by the second horizontal transfer module 41 to move horizontally, a third cylinder 43 fixed on the third support plate 42, and an adsorption module 44 driven by the third cylinder 43 to move up and down.
[0047] The working process of a keyboard light transmission detection device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: At the loading station, the keyboard 200 to be detected is placed on the detection tooling 1, and the barcode scanner 52 scans the code; the first horizontal transfer module 2 drives the detection tooling 1 to move to the detection station, and the cover plate 181 descends and closes on the detection tooling 1; according to the detection sequence, the backlight source 15 and the upper light source module are respectively lit, and the motor 13 drives the keyboard 200 to tilt at a certain angle, and each detection item is completed by using the vision camera 31; after the detection is completed, the cover plate 181 rises; the first horizontal transfer module 2 drives the detection tooling 1 to move to the blanking station, and the keyboard 200 is taken away through the blanking handling unit 4 to achieve automatic blanking.
[0048] The above are only some embodiments of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
