Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine vision lighting technology, and in particular to a machine vision gradient lighting device. Background Technology

[0002] Gradual illumination in machine vision inspection is an important technique for improving image quality and inspection accuracy. Gradual illumination gradually adjusts the brightness or intensity of the light source to adapt to the uneven characteristics of the object's surface, thereby reducing the impact of shadows and reflections on inspection.

[0003] However, current gradient lighting requires real-time calculation and adjustment of lighting parameters, which greatly increases the computational burden on the system, places extremely high demands on the performance of the light-emitting elements, and increases equipment costs. At the same time, since the gradient of the light source takes a certain amount of time, it is only suitable for static photography.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is necessary to design a machine vision gradient lighting device to solve the above problems.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solution of this utility model and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that the above content is known to those skilled in the art simply because it has been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0014] This utility model discloses a machine vision gradient lighting device.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a machine vision gradient lighting device, including a housing 1, a mounting frame 2 inside the housing, positioning blocks 3 symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 2, each positioning block 3 having an arc-shaped guide groove 31, an arc-shaped mounting plate 4 slidably connected in each arc-shaped guide groove 31, two arc-shaped mounting plates 4 symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected by a connecting rod 5, three strip light sources 6 uniformly arranged between the two arc-shaped mounting plates 4 along their arc surface direction, and the light intensity of the three strip light sources 6 arranged along the arc surface direction of the arc-shaped mounting plate 4 increases sequentially.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the usage method and principle of this utility model are as follows: In use, the three strip light sources 6 on the arc-shaped mounting plate 4 are focused to form an illumination spot. Since the intensity of the three strip light sources 6 increases sequentially, the brightness of the illumination spot generated after the beams of light emitted are focused gradually increases from one side to the other. When the object to be measured passes through the illumination spot, the characteristic parts of the object to be measured can be better highlighted, thereby improving the contrast and clarity of the image. When it is necessary to reduce the illumination range, the arc-shaped mounting plate 4 is slid along the arc-shaped guide groove 31 to change the horizontal distance between the three strip light sources 6, thereby compressing the range of the illumination spot.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to ensure the stability of the output beam, an arc-shaped focusing cover 7 is provided above the arc-shaped mounting plate 4. The arc-shaped focusing cover 7 is parallel to the arc surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate 4 and has the same curvature, so that the focusing effect will not change after the angle is adjusted.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate angle adjustment of the bar light source, both ends of the bar light source 6 are connected to the arc-shaped mounting plate 4 via mounting blocks 8, and both ends of the bar light source 6 can be rotatably connected to the mounting blocks 8 in the circumferential direction.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure the uniformity of light, a light guide plate 9 is provided below the strip light source 6. The outer periphery of the light guide plate 9 is detachably installed at the lower opening of the housing 1. The light guide plate 9 reduces light energy loss and converts the side light source into a surface light source, thereby improving the uniformity of light illumination.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the irradiation angle, a flipping mechanism 11 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1. The installation angle of the housing is changed by changing the flipping mechanism 11, thereby changing the irradiation angle.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, the housing 1 is provided with several heat dissipation holes 12, through which the internal hot gas is discharged to avoid heat accumulation and damage to the equipment.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
