Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light source devices, in particular to a slit light source device and a vision detection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The detection of existing workpieces is generally completed by a vision detection mechanism. The vision detection mechanism specifically includes a detection camera module and a light source device. Among them, the light source device is used to emit illuminating light onto the surface to be measured of the workpiece, and the detection camera module is used to obtain the light reflected from the surface to be measured to form an image.

[0003] At present, for the vision detection of workpieces with slits, a traditional linear light source device is still used. This type of light source device emits linear light and irradiates it onto the slits of the workpiece. Since the slits of the workpiece are usually narrow, most of the linear light emitted by the light source device only irradiates the two sides of the slit opening, and it is difficult for the light to reach the bottom of the slit, resulting in incomplete imaging and the technical problem that the workpiece cannot be accurately detected.

[0004] Therefore, finding a technical solution that can solve the above technical problems has become an important research topic for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The embodiments of the utility model disclose a slit light source device and a vision detection mechanism, which are used to solve the technical problem that the existing light source device cannot fully irradiate the bottom of the slit of the workpiece, resulting in poor imaging effect.

[0006] The embodiments of the utility model provide a slit light source device, including an outer housing, a light source body, and a light guide mirror;

[0007] A receiving cavity is arranged in the outer housing. The light source body is arranged in the receiving cavity. The light guide mirror is fixed to the outer housing. The light incident part of the light guide mirror extends into the receiving cavity. The light incident part is located at the light emitting end of the light source body. The light emitting part of the light guide mirror is exposed outside the outer housing. The opposite side surfaces of the light guide mirror are total reflection surfaces.

[0008] Optionally, reflective films are plated on the opposite side surfaces of the light guide mirror to form the total reflection surfaces.

[0009] Optionally, the light guide mirror is of a flat plate-like structure.

[0010] Optionally, the light source body is an LED light board.

[0011] Optionally, the LED light board includes a PCB board and at least one LED lamp bead electrically connected to the PCB board.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-section of the light incident part of the light guide mirror is an inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0013] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vision detection mechanism, including a detection camera, a lens connected to the detection camera, and the above-mentioned slit light source device.

[0014] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0015] The slit light source device in this embodiment is mainly aimed at workpieces with slits. The light source body conducts light through the light guide mirror and can directly irradiate the bottom of the slit. The opposite side surfaces of the light guide mirror are total reflection surfaces, enabling total internal reflection of light within the light guide mirror. The light output has high brightness and a narrow and thin light output surface, effectively reducing the interference of diffracted light and making the illumination at the bottom of the slit more uniform.

[0024] The slit light source device in this embodiment is mainly directed at a workpiece with a slit. The light emitted by the light source body 2 can be directly guided to the bottom of the slit through the light guide mirror 3. The opposite side surfaces of the light guide mirror 3 are total reflection surfaces 303, so that light undergoes total internal reflection in the light guide mirror 3, the light emitting brightness is high, the light emitting surface is narrow, the interference of diffracted light is effectively reduced, and the illumination at the bottom of the slit is more uniform.

[0025] Furthermore, reflection films are plated on the opposite side surfaces of the light guide mirror 3 in this embodiment to form the total reflection surfaces 303.

[0026] It should be noted that through the above design, the light emitted by the light source body 2 can achieve total internal reflection in the light guide mirror 3, the light emitting brightness is higher, the light emitting surface is narrow and effective, the interference of diffracted light is effectively reduced, and the illumination at the bottom of the slit is more uniform.

[0030] Specifically, the LED light board includes a PCB board 201 and at least one LED lamp bead 202 electrically connected to the PCB board 201.

[0031] It should be noted that the specific number of the LED lamp beads 202 is not limited in this embodiment, and designers can select an appropriate number of LED lamp beads 202 according to actual situations.

[0032] Furthermore, the cross section of the light incident portion 301 of the light guide mirror 3 in this embodiment has an inverted trapezoidal structure.
