Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a visual inspection light source and defect detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Machine vision is a rapidly developing branch of artificial intelligence. It uses a camera to capture digital images of the target object, and then identifies and judges the workpiece based on pixel distribution, brightness, color, and other features in the image to determine whether the workpiece is qualified. This process typically requires a light source to illuminate the workpiece, ensuring the surface to be inspected receives a satisfactory image.

[0003] Different light sources are needed to meet different inspection requirements. Taking 3D inspection as an example, existing inspection light sources usually use ring light sources to illuminate the workpiece. Although this can detect the 3D information of the workpiece well, it is difficult to detect small surface defects on the workpiece surface.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a visual inspection light source and defect detection device that can conveniently detect the three-dimensional information of the workpiece as well as the small surface defects of the workpiece.

[0005] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value has finally been created.

Preferably, the annular cavity is a sealed cavity, which can better protect the light-emitting plate 12 and reduce the possibility of damage to the light-emitting plate 12. The top edge of the arc-shaped diffuser plate 113 is fixed to the top plate 111, and the bottom edge is fixed to the annular side plate 112, and the arc-shaped diffuser plate 113 faces the center line of the first through hole 101.

The L-shaped buckle 31 and the L-shaped slot 102 make the installation of the cylinder 3 and the annular light source 1 faster and the installation positioning effect more accurate.

[0053] Optionally, the parallel light source 2 includes a light-emitting element 21 and a parallel mirror group 22 disposed on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 21, with the light-emitting end of the parallel mirror group 22 facing the first through hole 101.
