After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value has finally been created.
[0043] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 3 This utility model embodiment provides a detection light source, including a coaxial light source 100 and a reflector 200 mounted on the light-emitting side of the coaxial light source 100. The reflector 200 is used to reflect the light emitted from the coaxial light source 100 onto the surface of the workpiece to be inspected. The reflector 200 includes a first reflective surface 201 and a second reflective surface 202 symmetrically arranged along a vertical plane of symmetry 300, and the included angle between the first reflective surface 201 and the second reflective surface 202 is greater than 180°. The light-emitting center line of the coaxial light source 100 is located on the vertical plane of symmetry 300. The light-emitting center line refers to the center line of the light-emitting range; for example, the light-emitting center line of a flashlight is the center line of the cone-shaped illumination range in space.
[0044] It should be noted that the light emission effect of the LED beads in the coaxial light source 100 is roughly conical. The brightness is highest at the center of the illumination area of an LED bead, decreasing further away from the center. Therefore, the light emission effect of the coaxial light source 100 also shows that the brightness is higher at the center of the illumination area and lower on the sides. In this embodiment, by making the angle between the first reflective surface 201 and the second reflective surface 202 greater than 180°, the relatively concentrated light emitted from the coaxial light source 100 in the center can be more dispersed to the sides of the workpiece, resulting in more uniform illumination.
[0045] Preferably, the included angle between the first reflective surface 201 and the second reflective surface 202 is no greater than 190°. Specifically, the included angle between the first reflective surface 201 and the second reflective surface 202 is 185±2°.
[0046] Optionally, the coaxial light source 100 includes a housing 110, a lamp plate 120 mounted in the housing 110, and a beam splitter 130 mounted on the light-emitting side of the lamp plate 120; the light-emitting port of the housing 110 faces the reflector 200, and the center line of the light-emitting port coincides with the light-emitting center line. The cross-section of the light-emitting port is circular.
[0047] The light emitted from the lamp panel 120 passes through the beam splitter 130 and then shines on the reflector 200. The first reflector 201 and the second reflector 202 then reflect the light onto the surface of the workpiece, achieving the effect of moderately dispersing the relatively concentrated light emitted from the coaxial light source in the center.
[0048] Optionally, the lamp board 120 includes a circuit board 121 and surface mount LEDs 122 mounted on the circuit board 121; a diffuser 140 is installed between the lamp board 120 and the beam splitter 130.
[0049] Optionally, the housing 110 has a camera inspection port located on the top side of the beam splitter 130 and extending through the housing 110; an intensifying lens 150 is installed in the camera inspection port, and a light-absorbing plate 160 is installed on the bottom side of the beam splitter 130. The inspection camera can take pictures of the workpiece for inspection through the camera inspection port.
[0050] Optionally, the top wall of the housing 110 is provided with an insertion slot 101 for inserting the beam splitter 130; the housing 110 is also provided with a support slot 102 for supporting the beam splitter 130, the beam splitter 130 can be inserted into the support slot 102 along the insertion slot 101, and the top of the beam splitter 130 fits against the slot wall of the insertion slot 101.
[0051] Specifically, the beam splitter 130 is directly inserted into the support slot 102 from the insertion slot 101, making installation more convenient.
[0052] Optionally, the top wall plate of the housing 110 has a pressing groove 103 that connects to the insertion slot 101. A pressing block is installed in the pressing groove 103 to press and position the beam splitter 130. The pressing block (not shown) presses and fixes the beam splitter 130 to prevent the beam splitter 130 from shifting during use.
[0053] Optionally, the clamping block has a V-groove for matching the beam splitter 130, with the V-groove opening facing downwards; the clamping block is an elastic block. Specifically, the top corner of the beam splitter 130 is embedded in the V-groove, thereby completely fixing the beam splitter 130. Furthermore, the clamping block being an elastic block also allows the V-groove to better fit the top corner of the beam splitter 130.
[0054] Optionally, the housing 110 has a heat dissipation section 170, and the lamp plate 120 is mounted on the heat dissipation section 170 by connecting bolts 180; the distance between the lamp plate 120 and the heat dissipation section 170 is adjustable. The heat dissipation section 170 serves to dissipate heat and reduce the internal temperature of the housing 110.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
