[0025] Example:

[0026] See also Figure 1-4 An AOI optical inspection device for SMT includes a workbench 1, a conveyor 2 and two support frames 3 are fixedly connected to the workbench 1, and the conveyor 2 is located between the two support frames 3, and a three-axis slide 4 is provided on the two support frames 3. A detection camera 5 is slidably connected to the three-axis slide 4, and the detection camera 5 corresponds to the conveyor 2. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected in the conveyor 2, and a drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side end of the conveyor 2, and the output end of the drive motor 7 moves through the fixed connection of the conveyor 2. At one end of the rotating shaft 6, two first clamps 8 and two second clamps 9 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6, and the two first clamps 8 correspond to the two second clamps 9 respectively. Elastic components 10 are respectively arranged between the two first clamps 8 and the two second clamps 9. A group of limiting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the two first clamps 8 and the two second clamps 9, and the two groups of limiting plates 11 are staggered. Two groups of limiting columns 12 are fixedly connected in the conveying device 2, and the two groups of limiting columns 12 correspond to the two groups of limiting plates 11 respectively.

[0027] In this embodiment, the double-sided PCBA product is transported by the conveying device 2. During the transportation process, it first enters between the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9. The three-axis slide rail 4 controls the detection camera 5 to move and detect the corresponding PCBA product. After the single-sided detection of the PCBA product is completed, the driving motor 7 controls the rotation shaft 6 to rotate. The rotation shaft 6 drives the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9 to rotate. The two first clamping plates 8 lift the PCBA product. At the same time, a group of limiting plates 11 on the two second clamping plates 9 are away from a group of limiting columns 12. Under the action of the elastic force of the two elastic components 10, the two second clamping plates 9 are matched. The two first clamps 8 are closed to clamp the PCBA product, and the rotating shaft 6 flips the clamped PCBA product 180° and places it on the conveying device 2. The inspection camera 5 performs optical inspection on the other side of the flipped PCBA product. During the flipping and placement of the PCBA product, a group of limiting plates 11 on the two first clamps 8 contact a group of limiting columns 12. A group of limiting columns 12 restricts the two first clamps 8 through a group of limiting plates 11, canceling the clamping of the two second clamps 9 and the two first clamps 8 on the PCBA product, so that the double-sided PCBA product can be sent out on the conveying device 2 after optical inspection.

[0028] Specifically, each elastic component 10 includes two through-holes 101, a sliding column 102 and two springs 103. The two through-holes 101 are respectively opened on a first clamping plate 8 and a second clamping plate 9. The sliding column 102 is movable through the two through-holes 101. The two springs 103 are both sleeved on the circumferential surface of the sliding column 102, and the two springs 103 correspond to a first clamping plate 8 and a second clamping plate 9 respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sliding column 102 passes through a first clamping plate 8 and a second clamping plate 9 through two through-holes 101, so that the two springs 103 are stabilized on the side away from the first clamping plate 8 and the second clamping plate 9, and the elastic force is applied to the first clamping plate 8 and the second clamping plate 9, so that the first clamping plate 8 and the second clamping plate 9 can clamp the PCBA product during the rotation process.

[0030] Specifically, two rotation slots 13 are defined on the rotation shaft 6 , and one end of the two first clamping plates 8 and one end of the two second clamping plates 9 are rotatably connected to the two rotation slots 13 , respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two rotation grooves 13 enable the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9 to rotate on the rotation shaft 6 by a certain angle, thereby eliminating the clamping of the PCBA product.

[0032] Specifically, the adjacent ends of the two first splints 8 and the two second splints 9 are fixedly connected to the limiting protrusions 14 , and the adjacent ends of the two first splints 8 and the two second splints 9 are provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the PCBA product enters between the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9 , the four limiting protrusions 14 limit the PCBA product so that the PCBA product is accurately clamped between the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9 .

[0034] Specifically, a top end of a support frame 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed slide rail 15 , and the three-axis slide rail 4 is slidably connected to the fixed slide rail 15 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed slide rail 15 assists the sliding of the three-axis slide rail 4 , so that the three-axis slide rail 4 can stably adjust the detection position of the detection camera 5 .

[0036] Working principle: Double-sided PCBA products are transported through the conveying device 2. During the transportation process, they first enter between the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9. The three-axis slide 4 controls the inspection camera 5 to move and inspect the corresponding PCBA products. After the single-sided inspection of the PCBA products is completed, the driving motor 7 controls the rotation shaft 6 to rotate. The rotation shaft 6 drives the two first clamping plates 8 and the two second clamping plates 9 to rotate. The two first clamping plates 8 lift the PCBA products. At the same time, a group of limit plates 11 on the two second clamping plates 9 move away from a group of limit columns 12. Under the action of the elastic force of the two elastic components 10, the two second clamping plates 9 are aligned. The two first clamps 8 are closed to clamp the PCBA product, and the rotating shaft 6 flips the clamped PCBA product 180° and places it on the conveying device 2. The inspection camera 5 performs optical inspection on the other side of the flipped PCBA product. During the flipping and placement of the PCBA product, a group of limiting plates 11 on the two first clamps 8 contact a group of limiting columns 12. A group of limiting columns 12 restricts the two first clamps 8 through a group of limiting plates 11, canceling the clamping of the two second clamps 9 and the two first clamps 8 on the PCBA product, so that the double-sided PCBA product can be sent out on the conveying device 2 after optical inspection.

[0037] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and improved ideas of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
