Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of physics, in particular to a visual detection technology, and specifically to a multi-camera detection module. Background Art

[0002] Visual inspection is a device that uses machines to measure and judge products instead of human eyes. The captured target is converted into an image signal through machine vision products and transmitted to a dedicated image processing system to detect whether the product has defects.

[0003] Existing visual inspection devices, however, only use a single camera, a single light source, and a single fixed angle. In actual testing, it's often necessary to capture images of objects with varying dimensions, materials, and colors. However, cameras with different parameters often have varying imaging quality for these features. A single camera cannot guarantee that all images of these diverse features are clear enough to meet testing requirements, resulting in reduced detection accuracy and increased rates of missed and false detections, which in turn impacts product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

A drive motor is mounted on the hollow rotating platform, and the driving end of the drive motor is connected to the mounting plate through a transmission member inside the hollow rotating platform;

[0007] A plurality of mounting brackets are evenly installed on the outer edge of the mounting plate, each mounting bracket is arranged in an arc-shaped structure, and the center points of the arcs intersect at one point, an arc-shaped slide rail is arranged on the side of the mounting bracket, and the outer surface of the arc-shaped slide rail is slidably connected to the sliding bracket, and the outer side surface of the sliding bracket is fixedly installed with a side camera, and the shooting route of each side camera intersects with the shooting route of the main camera at one point.

[0008] Preferably, a lampshade is fixedly installed below the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of notches are evenly opened on the side surface of the lampshade, and each notch corresponds to a shooting route of each side camera.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting frame includes an arc-shaped plate and a fixing plate which are arranged in an integrated structure. The fixing plate is fixedly installed at an outer edge position of the mounting plate, and the arc-shaped plate is arranged below the fixing plate.

The outer side of the sliding bracket 7 is fixedly installed with a side camera 8. The shooting route of each side camera 8 intersects with the shooting route of the main camera 2 at one point.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] When in use, the main camera 2 can directly pass through the through-hole in the center of the hollow rotating table 1 and the mounting plate 4 to perform visual inspection of the product directly below, and by providing four mounting frames 5, the four side cameras 8 can slide along the curved slide rails 6 on the sides of the four mounting frames 5 respectively.
