Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection equipment, in particular to an automatic visual detection component for springs. Background Art

[0002] Visual inspection of springs is a method that uses machine vision technology to detect spring size, appearance defects, and position status. This method uses high-resolution image acquisition equipment and advanced image processing algorithms to achieve automated and high-precision inspection of springs. The machine vision system obtains image data of the spring through a high-resolution camera and uses image processing and analysis algorithms to detect the spring.

[0003] When using existing spring automated visual inspection equipment, the visual inspection camera is often fixed by a fixed bracket so that the visual inspection camera and the detection end of the inspection equipment correspond to each other. The fixed bracket is not convenient for adjusting the position of the visual inspection camera when installing the visual inspection camera. Therefore, the detection range of the visual inspection camera is fixed. When springs of different sizes need to be inspected, it is easy to miss some parts of the spring or the detection image may have large areas of blank space, which can easily affect the accuracy of the inspection during use.

[0004] Therefore, a spring automatic visual inspection component is proposed. Utility Model Content
