[0042] Example 1

[0043] In light of the aforementioned shortcomings of existing arched light sources, the applicant, drawing on years of extensive practical experience and expertise in the design and manufacture of such products, combined with applied theory, has actively engaged in research and innovation, hoping to develop a technology that can address these shortcomings and make arched light sources more practical. Through continuous research and design, repeated trial production and refinement, the applicant has finally created the present utility model, which possesses proven practical value.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model provides an arched light source, comprising: an arched plate 1, the inner side of which is an arc-shaped reflecting surface 11, and a through groove 12 is provided on the arched plate 1; two light-emitting units 2, respectively located on the bottom side of the opposite two edges of the arched plate 1; the light-emitting units 2 emit light toward the arc-shaped reflecting surface 11, and the arc-shaped reflecting surface 11 reflects the light emitted by the light-emitting units 2, so that the light is irradiated downward from between the two light-emitting units 2 onto the surface of the product; a linear light source 3 is installed on the outer side of the arched plate 1, and the emitted light passes through the through groove 12 to form a linear light spot on the surface of the product.

[0045] In actual applications, the light emitted by the light-emitting unit is reflected by the curved reflective surface 11 onto the product surface, thereby revealing larger defects. Furthermore, the linear light source 3 can form a linear light spot on the product, making small scratches on the product surface more clearly visible. Users can choose to turn the linear light source 3 on or off according to actual inspection needs, thereby meeting the lighting requirements of different inspections and expanding the applicability of the arched light source. It should be noted that the light emitted by the linear light source 3 in this embodiment can pass through the through-slot 12 and be directed toward the bottom surface of the product, thereby enabling both large-area defect detection and high-precision surface inspection of the product at a single inspection station.

[0046] It should be further explained that the camera 300 can be set on one side of the end of the arched light source to take pictures of the product at an angle; or a detection port 13 can be directly opened on the arched plate 1, and the camera 300 can take pictures of the product through the detection port 13.

[0047] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the arched plate 1 is also provided with an inspection port 13; the arcuate reflective surface 11 is symmetrically arranged about the central symmetric plane 100, and the two light emitting units 2 are symmetrically arranged about the central symmetric plane 100, so that the light reflected by the arcuate reflective surface 11 can be more evenly irradiated on the surface of the product; the camera 300 takes pictures of the workpiece through the inspection port 13 for inspection. Figure 2 It can be clearly seen that the detection port 13 is tilted and can accurately capture the area where the linear light spot is located. The detection port 13 and the linear light source 3 are located on both sides of the central symmetry plane 100 respectively.

[0048] Optionally, the arched light source also includes two end mounting plates 4, each provided with an arcuate slot 41. The opposing ends of the arched panel 1 fit into the arcuate slots 41 of each end mounting plate 4. The end mounting plates 4 support the arched panel 1, and the provision of the arcuate slots 41 simplifies assembly between the arched panel 1 and the end mounting plates 4. Furthermore, the end mounting plates 4 provide a light shielding effect, reducing the impact of stray light on detection.

[0049] Optionally, the light emitting unit 2 includes a lamp board 21, which includes a circuit board and an array of lamp beads arranged on the circuit board; the lamp beads are arranged parallel to the central symmetry plane 100. The lamp beads emit light onto the curved reflective surface 11, which then reflects the light, causing it to be emitted from between the two light emitting units 2. Preferably, the circuit board is arranged at an angle, so that the lamp beads emit light at an angled upward.

[0050] Optionally, the light emitting unit 2 also includes a reflective plate 22 arranged on the light emitting side of the lamp bead. The reflective plate 22 is tilted, and the tilt angle of the reflective plate 22 is adjustable, which can better adjust the angle of the light reflected on the curved reflective surface 11, thereby producing different lighting effects to meet the detection lighting needs of different products.

[0051] Optionally, a heat sink 6 is mounted on the arched plate 1, and the light board 21 is mounted on the heat sink 6. The heat sink 6 dissipates heat from the light board 21, thereby preventing the light board 21 from overheating. Furthermore, an air cooling device 7 is provided on one side of the bottom of the heat sink 6 for cooling the heat sink 6. The air cooling device 7 can further reduce the temperature of the light board 21, thereby increasing the luminous power of the light board 21.

[0052] Optionally, the arc-shaped reflecting surface 11 is curved around a set center line 200, and the two light-emitting units 2 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the set center line 200, such as Figure 2 As shown. Set the center line 200 perpendicular to Figure 2 The centerline position is magnified for ease of understanding. In this embodiment, the curved reflective surface is actually a portion of the wall of a circular hole.

[0053] Optionally, the through slot 12 is parallel to the set center line 200 .

[0054] Example 2

[0055] This embodiment discloses a visual inspection device, including the arched light source as described in the first embodiment.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the camera 300 is an example installation position, and the camera 300 takes pictures to inspect the product through the inspection port 13.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concepts of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
