The second driving assembly 212 extends along the third direction Z and is connected with the carrier 22. That is, the carrier 22 is directly connected with the second driving assembly 212 and indirectly connected with the first driving assembly 211 through the second driving assembly 212. The first driving assembly 211 and the second driving assembly 212 can realize driving the carrier 22 to move along the first direction X and the third direction Z, respectively, which has high flexibility. Moreover, driving the carrier 22 to move along the third direction Z, i.e., the height direction, by the second driving assembly 212 can adjust the relative position of the material loading part and the moving channel 111, so as to adjust the surface steam covering effect of the material to be detected, thereby ensuring the detection effect.

[0082] For example, the first driving assembly 211 can be a linear motor and extend along the first direction X to drive the carrier 22 to move along the first direction X through the second driving assembly 212. For example, the second driving assembly 212 can also be a linear motor and extend along the third direction Z to drive the carrier 22 to move along the third direction Z.

[0083] For example, the first driving assembly 211 can include a first driving member 2111, a first sliding rail 2112 and a first sliding block 2113. The first sliding rail 2112 extends along the first direction X. The first sliding block 2113 is slidably connected to the first sliding rail 2112. The first driving member 2111 is connected with the first sliding rail 2112 and drives the first sliding block 2113 to slide along the first sliding rail 2112. The second driving assembly 212 can include a second driving member 2121, a second sliding rail 2122 and a second sliding block 2123. The second sliding rail 2122 extends along the third direction Z and is fixedly connected with the first sliding block 2113. The second sliding block 2123 is slidably connected to the second sliding rail 2122. The second driving member 2121 is connected with the second sliding rail 2122 and drives the second sliding block 2123 to slide along the second sliding rail 2122. The carrier 22 is fixedly connected with the second sliding block 2123.

[0084] For example, the first driving member 2111 and the second driving member 2121 can be motors, air cylinders or the like, and are preferably motors. The first sliding rail 2112 and the second sliding rail 2122 can be linear sliding rails, ball screws or the like.

[0085] Further, in some embodiments, the carrying module 2 further comprises a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure), and the end of the carrier 22 away from the driving mechanism 21 is provided with a material loading part, and the top of the material loading part is provided with a plurality of suction holes, the vacuum generator is connected with the carrier 22 and communicates with the suction holes. The vacuum generator and the suction holes are used to realize vacuum adsorption of the material to be inspected, so as to ensure the stability of the relative position of the material to be inspected, and further ensure the reliability of the detection.

[0086] Among them, the end surface of the material loading part facing the moving channel 111, that is, the top surface is used for adsorbing and fixing the material to be inspected, and the plurality of suction holes are arranged on the top surface of the material loading end.

[0087] Exemplarily, the material of the material loading part can be polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and the size of the material loading part is matched with the size of the material to be inspected, so as to be able to adsorb and fix the material to be inspected.

[0088] In some embodiments, the carrier 22 is movably arranged along the third direction Z, such as moving along the third direction Z by the second driving assembly 212.

[0089] Although the embodiments of the present application are described in conjunction with the drawings, various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and changes fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
