Each ring of lamps includes at least three lamps spaced apart, with the lamps in the same group arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the ring circuit board. All lamps are located on the same side of the ring circuit board, emitting light downwards to illuminate the workpiece. While the aforementioned ring light source offers good light uniformity, it cannot focus the light on a specific area and therefore cannot increase the illumination intensity of a designated area.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a ring light source and detection device that can help improve the light intensity of the designated area.

[0044] Example 1
[0045] In view of the aforementioned defects in existing ring light sources, the applicant, based on years of rich practical experience and professional knowledge in the design and manufacture of such products, and in conjunction with the application of theoretical principles, actively conducted research and innovation in order to create a ring light source that can solve the defects in the existing technology and make the ring light source more practical. After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value has finally been created.
[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model embodiment provides a ring light source, including: a housing 1; a first ring light-emitting component 2, including a first ring circuit board 21 mounted on the housing 1 and at least two rings of first lamp groups mounted on the first ring circuit board 21, and each ring of first lamp groups includes a plurality of first lamp beads 22 arranged at intervals; each first lamp bead 22 has a light guide column 101 on its light-emitting side, and the optical axis of all light guide columns 101 intersects with a set point 100 on the center line of a ring circuit board 21.
[0047] In this embodiment, by providing light guide pillars 101 on the light-emitting side of all the first LED beads 22, and ensuring that the optical axes of all the light guide pillars 101 pass through a set point 100 on the center line of the first annular circuit board 21, the light emitted by the first LED beads 22 in all the first annular light-emitting components 2 converges towards the set point 100, thereby significantly improving the illumination intensity of the set point 100 and its vicinity, which is equivalent to improving the illumination intensity of the set area. The optical axis of the light guide pillar 101 refers to the center line of the light beam emitted along the light guide pillar 101.
[0048] The ring light source in this embodiment expands the applicable environment of the ring light source, enabling it to be used in more scenarios.
[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ring light source also includes a second ring light-emitting component 3; a first ring step 11 and a second ring step 12 are formed on the housing 1, a first ring circuit board 21 is mounted on the first ring step 11, and a second ring circuit board 31 is mounted on the second ring step 12.
[0050] The center lines of the first annular step 11 and the second annular step 12 both coincide with the center line of the first annular circuit board 21; the center line of the second annular circuit board 31 coincides with the center line of the first annular circuit board 21.
[0051] The second annular light-emitting component 3 includes a second annular circuit board 31 mounted on the second annular step 12 and at least two rings of second lamp groups mounted on the second annular circuit board 31. Each ring of second lamp groups includes at least three second lamp beads 32 arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the first annular step 11, and each second lamp bead 32 has a light guide column 101 on its light-emitting side.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first annular circuit board 21 is installed on the first annular step 11, and the second annular circuit board 31 is installed on the second annular step 12. This allows the light from the first annular light-emitting component 2 and the second annular light-emitting component 3 at different heights to be directed to the set point 100 through the light guide column 101, so that the area where the set point 100 is located is illuminated by light at different angles, further improving the lighting effect and making it easier to detect surface defects of the workpiece.
[0053] Optionally, the light guide column 101 includes a first straight extension segment 1011 and a second arc-shaped extension segment 1012 connected in sequence; the tail end of the second arc-shaped extension segment 1012 away from the first straight extension segment 1011 forms a spherical light-emitting surface. The second arc-shaped extension segment 1012 extends in an arc shape, so that the light-emitting surface is directly facing the set point 100. It should also be noted that the position of the set point 100 can be set according to actual needs, and in this case, the curvature and bending length of the second arc-shaped extension segment 1012 of different light guide columns 101 need to be adjusted accordingly.
[0054] Optionally, the first straight extension 1011 is provided with a receiving groove 1013 for surrounding a first LED bead 22. In this way, all the light from the first LED bead 22 enters the light guide post 101, and then the light guide post 101 guides the light to the set point 100.
[0055] Optionally, the light guide post 101 is plugged into the first annular circuit board 21, and a reflective coating is provided on the outer periphery of the light guide post 101; the housing 1 is provided with a plug-in positioning hole, and the plug-in pin 1014 of the light guide post 101 passes through the first annular circuit board 21 and is inserted into the plug-in positioning hole.
[0056] Specifically, the connector pin 1014 passes through the first annular circuit board 21 and is inserted into the insertion positioning hole on the housing 1, thereby making the installation of the light guide post 101 more stable, reducing the force exerted by the light guide post 101 on the first annular circuit board 21, and helping to reduce the deformation of the first annular circuit board 21 during long-term use. Preferably, the connector pin 1014 and the insertion positioning hole are connected and fixed.
[0057] It should also be noted that the light guide post 101 located on the light-emitting side of the second LED bead 32 is also connected to the housing 1 through the second annular circuit board 31 via the connector pin 1014.
[0058] Optionally, the housing 1 is further provided with a third annular step 13 and a third annular light-emitting assembly 4 mounted on the third annular step 13; the third annular light-emitting assembly 4 includes a third annular circuit board 41 mounted on the third annular step 13 and at least two rings of third lamp groups mounted on the third annular circuit board 41, the third lamp group including at least three third lamp beads 42 arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the first annular step 11; each third lamp bead 42 is provided with a light guide column 101 on its light-emitting side.
[0059] Furthermore, light can be directed at the set point 100 from three different heights, making it easier to reveal surface defects in the workpiece.
[0060] Optionally, in the first annular light-emitting assembly 2, the light guide column 101 is longer the further away from the center of the first annular circuit board 21.
[0061] Optionally, the housing 1 is provided with a cooling channel 50, and a water supply connector 51 communicating with the cooling channel 50 and a water outlet connector 52 communicating with the cooling channel 50 are installed on the housing 1. The housing 1 is cooled by the coolant in the cooling channel 50, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the ring light source. Preferably, the cooling channel 50 undulates in a serpentine pattern around the center line of the first ring circuit board 21.
[0062] Optionally, the housing 1 is also provided with a detection hole 6, the center line of which coincides with the center line of the first annular circuit board 21.
