[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "setting", "connection", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the internal parts of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood based on specific circumstances.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The metal mesh appearance inspection device of this embodiment includes a machine platform 1, a loading platform mounted on the machine platform, a movable module, an inspection module, and a housing 2. The machine platform 1 consists of a tabletop and a frame below. The inspection module is movably mounted above the loading platform 3 via a movable module. The loading platform 3 is mounted above the machine platform 1. An inspection window 32 is defined in the center of the loading platform 3. This inspection window 32 is constructed of transparent, flat, tempered glass 321, which supports the metal mesh 100 to be inspected, meeting testing conditions requiring backlighting. Tempered glass provides more stable structural properties, with improved hardness, rigidity, and impact resistance. It shatters into small, passive particles upon impact, ensuring safety. A light source 4 is located below the inspection window 32. This flat-panel light source covers the entire inspection window. A leveling module 5 is located below the loading platform 3 for fine-tuning the level of the loading platform 3. The loading platform 3 also has movable windows 33, located on either side of the inspection window 32, serving as passageways for the columns 8.
[0023] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4Specifically, the support frame 31 is connected to the lower side of the detection window 32 of the loading platform 3. The horizontal adjustment module 5 acts on the support frame 31 to perform fine-leveling of the loading platform. There are four horizontal adjustment modules 5, which are respectively arranged at the four end corners of the rectangular support frame 31. Furthermore, the horizontal adjustment module 5 includes a connecting block 51, a threaded sleeve 52, a bolt 53, and a spherical gasket 54. The connecting block 51 is an L-shaped structure, in which the vertical section is fixed to the support frame 31, and a fixing hole is opened in the center of the horizontal section. The spherical gasket 54 is arranged on the machine 1, and the fixing hole is pressed on the spherical gasket 54. The threaded sleeve 52 is embedded in the fixing hole and reaches the surface of the spherical gasket 54. The bolt 53 passes through the through holes in the center of the threaded sleeve 52 and the center of the spherical gasket 54 to fix the connecting block 51 to the machine 1. By loosening the bolt 53, the threaded sleeve 52 can be adjusted to change the position angle of the connecting block 51, thereby adjusting the horizontality of the loading platform 3. The inner ring of the fixing hole of the connecting block 51 is provided with a thread, and the outer ring of the threaded sleeve 52 is provided with an external thread that matches the inner ring thread of the fixing hole. The lower end surface of the threaded sleeve 52 is arc-shaped and contacts the spherical gasket 54.
[0024] Due to the special structure of the horizontal adjustment module 5, when it is found that the levelness of the loading platform 3 deviates, the horizontal adjustment modules 5 at the four corners can be adjusted independently. The rotating threaded sleeve 52 drives the connecting block 51 to change the height of the support frame 31, and the setting of the spherical gasket 54 allows the connecting block 51 to produce a slight rotation of ±1° along the spherical gasket 54. The platform is adjusted to an ideal horizontal state in conjunction with the micrometer measurement. After the adjustment is completed, the bolts 53 are tightened and fixed to the machine 1. The horizontal adjustment mechanism can effectively compensate for the processing errors and assembly cumulative errors in the mechanical structure, and achieve a higher actual flatness level.
[0025] Furthermore, the mobile module includes a Y-axis mobile module 6, an X-axis mobile module 7, a column 8 and a crossbeam 9. The Y-axis mobile module 6 is arranged on the machine table 1, and the X-axis mobile module 7 is arranged on the crossbeam 9. The crossbeam 9 is arranged on the Y-axis mobile module 6 through the column 8, and performs Y-axis linear motion under the drive of the Y-axis mobile module 6. The detection module is arranged on the X-axis mobile module and performs X-axis linear motion under the drive of the X-axis mobile module. In this embodiment, the Y-axis mobile module 6 and the X-axis mobile module 7 use ironless linear motors as power, which can better eliminate the frustration force and provide greater acceleration and driving force, thereby realizing continuous measurement under long-term high-speed and frequent motion. Specifically, there are two Y-axis mobile modules 6, which are arranged in parallel on both sides of the machine table. The column 8 is fixed on the moving slides of the linear motors of the two Y-axis mobile modules through the moving plate 61, and the two Y-axis linear motors work synchronously.
[0026] Preferably, the table top, crossbeam 9 and column 8 of the machine 1 are all made of marble. Marble has the advantages of acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and small thermal expansion coefficient. After years of natural aging, it has no internal stress, stable structure, will not rust, and has outstanding characteristics of no local deformation when subjected to external force, ensuring the permanent stability of the main structure of the test function and is not affected by temperature, humidity and external force. The marble surface used in this embodiment adopts 000-level precision level, and the flatness is controlled below 1.5μ. This level reaches the highest level of precision after marble grinding.
[0027] The detection module includes a detection camera 10 and a Z-axis lifting module 11. The detection camera 10 is arranged on the X-axis moving module 7 through the Z-axis lifting module 11. Specifically, the detection camera 10 is detachably arranged on the Z-axis lifting module 11 through a mounting block. An annular light source 12 is arranged below the detection camera 10. The annular light source 12 is also arranged on the Z-axis lifting module 11 and moves synchronously with the detection camera 10. The detection camera 10 adopts a 2000W pixel array camera with a 3.0 magnification circular lens 101 to meet high-speed and high-definition measurement. The detection camera 10 is arranged on the XYZ three-axis linear module, which is convenient for automatic adjustment to be compatible with different products and different working distances. In addition, the detection camera is quick-detachable, and the test instruments and parts can be quickly replaced according to the test requirements of different test grids without major adjustments on the mechanical structure. The compatibility and interchangeability advantages are outstanding.
[0028] The hood 2 is a fully enclosed open-door structure with opening and closing doors 22 at the inlet and outlet, and a separate maintenance window 23 at the linear motor maintenance area. A fan filter unit 21 is provided on the top of the hood 2 to ensure the cleanliness of the test while accelerating the circulation of air, which is beneficial to the dissipation of the working heat of the linear motors of the Y-axis moving module 6, the X-axis moving module 7, and the Z-axis lifting module 11, ensuring a clean environment and zero interference during long-term testing, and meeting the requirements of dust-free testing of semiconductors, chips, grids and other products. The fan filter unit here uses existing technology and will not be elaborated on here. The frame of the machine is spliced on four sides and can be disassembled separately, facilitating equipment maintenance and debugging to the greatest extent.
[0029] The linear motor, linear guide rail, sensor, etc. of this equipment are covered under the accordion cover 200, and the marble platform and cable drag chain are covered under the painted sheet metal, which facilitates manual loading and unloading of materials and ensures the neatness and uniformity of the overall structure of the machine. The whole machine has a compact structure and high space utilization rate. The targeted design of the appearance of the marble platform has greatly reduced the volume of the entire machine.
[0030] In addition, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. The understanding of this specification should be based on technical personnel in the relevant technical field. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technical personnel in this field should understand that technical personnel in the relevant technical field can still modify or replace the present invention with equivalents, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
