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

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a vision detection device, including: a detection camera 1, arranged on one side at the top of a set detection station, for taking pictures and detecting directly above a workpiece 100; a backlight source 2, arranged on one side at the bottom of the set detection station, for emitting light towards the detection camera 1 along a first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the central axis of the lens of the detection camera 1; the set detection station is located between the backlight source 2 and the detection camera 1, so that the detection camera 1 can better detect whether there are serrated protrusions or protrusions of other shapes on the outer edge contour of the workpiece 100, improving the accuracy of detection. Figure 1 In , the first direction is the vertically upward direction.

[0038] As Figure 1 , the backlight source 2 includes a first lamp board 21 and a first Fresnel lens 22 arranged on the light-emitting side of the first lamp board 21. The first Fresnel lens 22 is used to form parallel light from the light emitted by the first lamp board 21 and emit it upward, so as to emit light towards the workpiece 100 along the first direction. As Figure 1 In , the first direction is the vertically upward direction.

[0039] It should be particularly noted that when the backlight is incident obliquely on the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 100, the protrusions on the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 100 will reflect light, so that it is easy to reflect the light into the detection camera 1, resulting in local bright spots in the detection image of the detection camera 1. In this embodiment, the backlight source emits light along the central axis of the lens, so that the light is not easily reflected into the lens, effectively reducing the bright spots in the detection image and being beneficial to improving the detection accuracy of the contour of the workpiece 100.

[0040] It should also be particularly noted that the workpiece 100 is generally a columnar workpiece 100, and when the workpiece 100 is placed at the set detection station, the central axis of the workpiece 100 is parallel to the central axis of the lens. Preferably, the central axis of the workpiece 100 coincides with the central axis of the lens.

[0041] Optionally, the visual detection device further includes an annular light source assembly 3 surrounding the set detection station; the annular light source assembly 3 includes a support plate 31, and a second light board 32 and a beam splitter 33 both mounted on the support plate 31, and the beam splitter 33 is located between the second light board 32 and the set detection station; the second light board 32 is used to emit light towards the set detection station along a second direction, the light emitted by the second light board 32 passes through the beam splitter 33 and is projected towards the set detection station, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the beam splitter 33 is used to reflect the peripheral image of the workpiece 100 in the set detection station to the detection camera 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, using one camera can meet the need of detecting the outer contour and the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 100. There is no need to set more cameras, which is beneficial to saving the cost of the visual detection device and meeting the need of detecting the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 100.

[0043] Optionally, the support plate 31 is horizontally arranged, the beam splitter 33 is inclined 45° relative to the support plate 31, and an absorbing plate 301 is arranged on the side surface of the support plate 31 close to the beam splitter 33; the absorbing plate 301 is located directly below the beam splitter 33. The absorbing plate 301 can reduce the stray light image projected towards the detection camera 1, which is beneficial to improving the imaging quality of the detection camera 1.

[0044] Optionally, the backlight source 2 further includes a first diffuser plate 23, the first diffuser plate 23 is located between the first light board 21 and the first Fresnel lens 22, and the first diffuser plate 23 is parallel to the first light board 21. Specifically, the first diffuser plate 23 converts the point and line light sources on the first light board 21 into a soft and uniform surface light source, improving the uniformity of the light emitted by the first light board 21.

[0045] Optionally, the annular light source assembly 3 further includes a second diffuser plate 34, the second diffuser plate 34 is located between the second light board 32 and the beam splitter 33, and the second diffuser plate 34 is parallel to the second light board 32.

[0046] Optionally, the annular light source assembly 3 further includes a second Fresnel lens 35, the second Fresnel lens 35 is located between the second light board 32 and the beam splitter 33. Similarly, the second Fresnel lens 35 is used to improve the uniformity and softness of the light source emitted by the annular light source assembly 3, thereby facilitating the improvement of the accuracy of visual detection.

[0047] Optionally, there are two second light boards 32, and the two second light boards 32 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the set detection station.

[0048] Optionally, there are at least three second light boards 32, and all the second light boards 32 are arranged in a circumferential array around the set detection station.

[0049] Optionally, the vision detection device further includes a support frame for supporting the workpiece 100 at a set detection station. Generally, the support frame is a transparent support frame or a hollowed-out support frame.

[0050] Optionally, the highest point of the annular light source assembly 3 is higher than the top surface of the workpiece 100 at the set detection station. Preferably, the height difference between the highest point of the annular light source assembly 3 and the top surface of the workpiece 100 at the set detection station is not greater than 5 mm. This can effectively prevent light from shining on the top surface of the workpiece 100 and improve the detection accuracy of the outer edge contour of the workpiece 100, especially the columnar workpiece 100.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of the specification of the present application, the patent protection scope of the present application cannot be limited thereby.
