[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example:
[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 5A TOP panel loading and inspection device includes a base 1. A tray feeding assembly 2 for storing trays and a tray collection bin 3 for collecting empty trays are fixedly connected to the base 1. A support plate 31 for placing empty trays is fixedly connected horizontally within the tray collection bin 3. Empty trays are placed directly on the support plate 31 located in the tray collection bin 3. A placement plate 6 for placing panels and a tray handling assembly 7 for transporting trays and panels are also movably connected horizontally to the base 1 based on a first lead screw sliding assembly 4 and a second lead screw sliding assembly 5. A panel inspection device for detecting panels is also fixedly connected to the base 1. The panel conveying assembly 8 and the panel inspection assembly 9 are used for panel conveying. The panel on the tray is attracted to the placement plate 6 by the tray handling assembly 7. Then, the panel on the placement plate 6 is conveyed to the panel inspection assembly 9 by the panel conveying assembly 8 for inspection and assembly. At the same time, the tray handling assembly 7 transports the tray from the tray feeding assembly 2 to the tray collection bin 3 for collection. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the unloading conveyor belt 10 for unloading defective panels near the panel conveying assembly 8. If the panel fails the inspection by the panel inspection assembly 9, the unqualified panel is conveyed to the unloading conveyor belt 10 by the panel conveying assembly 8 for unloading.
[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 3Specifically, the material tray feeding assembly 2 includes a material tray feeding bin 21 fixedly connected to the base 1 and a lifting screw sliding table 22 fixedly connected to the base 1 in the vertical direction.

A mechanism for rotating the adjusting screw 214 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The lead screw drive motor 216 drives the adjusting lead screw 214 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting block 215 and the side positioning block to move in opposite directions. This adjusts the gap between the side positioning plates 212 to adapt to the feeding requirements of different sized trays, increasing adaptability. The adjusting lead screw 214 is composed of two lead screws with the same axis but opposite spiral directions, so that the adjusting blocks 215 on both sides can move in opposite directions synchronously. A guide rod 217 is also fixedly connected to the base 1. A guide block 218 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 215 and slidably connected to the guide rod 217.

The positioning plate 912 can be detached from the rotating shaft to adapt to the positioning requirements of panels of different sizes. The rotary detection motor 911 drives the positioning plate 912 to rotate, thereby rotating the panel and performing step-by-step detection of different positions on the panel to improve detection accuracy. The panel flipping assembly 92 includes a lifting screw slide 921 fixedly connected to the base 1 along the vertical direction and a lifting screw slide 921 fixedly connected to the lifting screw slide 921. The flip motor 922 on the 1 has a flip mounting plate 923 fixedly connected to its rotating end. A synchronous clamping cylinder 924 is fixedly connected to the flip mounting plate 923. The synchronous clamping cylinder 924 is symmetrically equipped with clamping jaws 925 on both sides of the panel. When the panel is placed upside down, the synchronous clamping cylinder 924 drives the clamping jaws 925 to clamp both ends of the panel. Then, the flip motor 922 drives the panel to rotate 180 degrees so that the front of the panel is facing up. After the front of the panel is detected, the panel is picked up by the panel conveying component 8 and placed directly above the lower detection camera 93 for visual inspection of the bottom surface of the panel.
[0029] Brief description of the usage process: The panel on the tray is picked up by the tray transfer component 7 and placed onto the placement plate 6. Then, the panel on the placement plate 6 is transported to the panel detection component 9 by the panel conveying component 8 for detection and assembly.
