Furthermore, it achieves consistent inspection of power adapters, preventing inspection deviations between power adapters.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the power adapter visual inspection device of this embodiment includes a positioning unit 10 and a detection unit 20. The positioning unit 10 positions the power adapter, and then the detection unit 20 performs visual inspection on the power adapter.

[0028] In this embodiment, the power adapter visual inspection device further includes a conveyor line 40, the positioning part 10 is located on the conveyor line 40 and moves along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 40, the conveyor line 40 conveys the positioning part 10 to the position to be tested, so that the power adapter reaches the position to be tested, and then visual inspection is performed.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning unit 10 of this embodiment includes two positioning blocks 11 with adjustable spacing. The power adapter is located between the two positioning blocks 11. A carrier 41 is provided on the conveyor line 40, and an adjustment unit 50 is provided on the carrier 41 to adjust the spacing between the two positioning blocks 11. In this embodiment, the two positioning blocks 11 with adjustable spacing can perform positioning processing on power adapters of different specifications, thereby improving the versatility of this device to meet the visual inspection of power adapters of different specifications.
