[0019] The present invention will be further described and explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A CELL panel inspection machine includes a cabinet 10. A multi-axis robotic arm is provided inside the cabinet 10. A loading linear guide 30, an inspection table 40, and a unloading linear guide 50 are provided within the working range of the multi-axis robotic arm. A loading table 31 is provided on the loading linear guide 30. A detection jig 41 and a detection component are provided on the detection table 40. A unloading table 51 is provided on the unloading linear guide 50. The CELL panel 70 on the loading table 31 is transported to the detection jig 41 by the multi-axis robotic arm. The detection component is used to inspect the CELL panel 70 on the detection jig 41. The CELL panel 70 on the detection jig 41 is transported to the unloading table 51 by the multi-axis robotic arm.

[0021] In the above scheme, the CELL panel 70 on the loading table 31 is transported to the working range of the multi-axis robot arm through the loading linear guide 30, and the CELL panel 70 is moved to the detection fixture 41 of the detection table 40 by the multi-axis robot arm. The detection component detects the CELL panel 70. After the detection is completed, the CELL panel 70 is moved to the unloading table 51 by the multi-axis robot arm. The CELL panel 70 on the unloading table 51 is finally transported out of the cabinet 10 through the unloading linear guide 50, replacing manual panel detection, saving manpower, reducing costs, improving work efficiency, and maintaining a stable detection yield.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The multi-axis robotic arm includes a robotic arm body 20, and a suction cup assembly is provided at the end of the robotic arm body 20. Furthermore, two workstations are provided on the loading platform 31, the detection fixture 41 and the unloading platform 51. The suction cup assembly includes four first suction cups 21, and the number of the detection platforms 40 is two.

[0023] In the above scheme, two of the four suction cups at the end of the robot body 20 suck up two workpieces on the loading platform 31 and then move them to the inspection platform 40. The remaining two suction cups suck up the two workpieces that have been inspected on the inspection jig 41, and at the same time place the two workpieces to be inspected on the inspection jig 41. The two workpieces that have completed the inspection are then moved to the two workstations of the unloading platform 51. Then, the workpieces transported from the loading platform 31 are continuously sucked up, and the cycle is continued to keep workpieces on the inspection platform 40 for inspection, thereby improving the inspection efficiency. In addition, in order to further improve the inspection efficiency, the multi-axis robot arm is not allowed to standby while waiting for the workpiece to be inspected. An additional inspection platform 40 is provided to fully utilize the time for workpiece inspection, so that the multi-axis robot arm can continue to operate, further improving the inspection efficiency. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two inspection platforms 40 are respectively arranged on both sides of the multi-axis robot arm.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 3 The inspection jig 41 includes a hollow frame 411. A plurality of positioning holes 412 are provided on both sides of the inspection jig 41 along the length direction. A positioning bar 413 is provided on the inspection jig 41. The two ends of the positioning bar 413 match the positioning holes 412. The inspection component includes a detection camera 42 and a light source controller 43. The detection camera 42 is located above the inspection jig 41, and the light source controller 43 is located below the inspection jig 41. Furthermore, a pressure block 44 is provided above one side of the inspection jig 41. A slide rail 45 and a first lifting cylinder 46 are vertically provided on the inspection platform 40. The pressure block 44 slides on the slide rail 45. The first lifting cylinder 46 is used to drive the pressure block 44 to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0025] In the above scheme, the position of the positioning bar 413 is preset according to the size of the CELL panel 70 to be inspected, and the two ends of the positioning bar 413 are fixed by cooperation with the positioning through-hole 412, so that CELL panels 70 of different sizes can be placed. The first lifting cylinder 46 drives the pressure block 44 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, and the pressure block 44 presses the CELL panel 70 away from the positioning bar 413. Finally, the CELL panel 70 is inspected through the cooperation between the light source controller 43 and the detection camera 42.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 The cabinet 10 is provided with a material transfer linear guide 60 at the level corresponding to the position of the material loading linear guide 30 , and a second lifting cylinder 61 is provided on the material transfer linear guide 60 , and a second suction cup 62 is provided at the output end of the second lifting cylinder 61 .

[0027] In the above solution, the second suction cup 62 can move in the vertical and horizontal directions through the material transfer line and the second lifting cylinder 61, and can transport the CELL panel 70 after the previous process is completed to the loading platform 31, thereby improving the degree of automation and saving manpower.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A feed port and a discharge port are respectively provided on both sides of the cabinet 10. One end of the loading linear guide 30 extends to the feed port, and the other end of the loading linear guide 30 extends to the working range of the multi-axis robot arm. One end of the unloading linear guide 50 extends to the discharge port, and the other end of the unloading linear guide 50 extends to the working range of the multi-axis robot arm.

[0029] In the above scheme, the loading linear guide 30 extends to one end of the feed port to coordinate with the previous process, and the unloading linear guide 50 extends to one end of the discharge port to coordinate with the next process, thus ensuring a smooth transition between processes. It should be noted that both the loading platform 31 and the unloading platform 51 are equipped with suction cup structures to ensure that the CELL panel 70 remains stable during operation.

[0030] The utility model provides a CELL panel inspection machine, in which the CELL panel on the loading table is transported to the working range of a multi-axis robotic arm through a loading linear guide rail, the CELL panel is moved to the inspection fixture of the inspection table through the multi-axis robotic arm, and the inspection component inspects the CELL panel. After the inspection is completed, the CELL panel is transported to the unloading table through the multi-axis robotic arm, and the CELL panel on the unloading table is finally transported out of the cabinet through the unloading linear guide rail, thereby replacing manual panel inspection, saving manpower, reducing costs, improving work efficiency, and achieving a stable inspection yield.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
