[0044] Example 1

[0045] In view of the aforementioned defects in existing light sources, the applicant, based on years of extensive 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 technology that could overcome the defects in the existing technology and make the light source more practical. After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value was finally created.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figure 7 This utility model provides a light source that can illuminate workpieces at different distances, making it more practical and applicable.

[0047] The light source includes: housing 1, which serves as a support and has a downward-facing light outlet.

[0048] The backlight assembly 2 includes a lamp board 21 installed in the housing 1 and a diffuser plate 22 installed at the light outlet. The diffuser plate 22 is located on the light-emitting side of the lamp board 21. The lamp board 21 includes a circuit board 211 and an array of first lamp beads 212 installed on the circuit board 211. The light emitted from the lamp board 21 passes through the diffuser plate 22 and shines on the workpiece, providing a uniform illumination effect for the workpiece.

[0049] The high-brightness light source assembly 3 is provided in at least three sets, arranged in a circular array around the center line of the backlight assembly 2. The high-brightness light source assembly 3 emits light at an angle closer to the center line of the backlight assembly 2, and its luminous intensity is greater than that of the backlight assembly 2, thus illuminating workpieces at greater distances. Furthermore, the multiple high-brightness light source assemblies 3 arranged in a circular array around the center line of the backlight assembly 2 can effectively illuminate the top surface of workpieces at greater distances, and the angled light emitted further aids the inspection camera in better detecting surface defects on the workpiece.

[0050] The top end of the high-brightness light source assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the other end passes through the lamp plate 21 and the diffuser plate 22 in sequence to emit light. The light from the high-brightness light source assembly 3 does not need to pass through the diffuser plate 22, and can illuminate further.

[0051] Optionally, the high-brightness light source assembly 3 includes a cylindrical body 31, a high-brightness LED bead 32, a first condensing lens 33, and a second condensing lens 34. One end of the cylindrical body 31 has a light-emitting hole, and the high-brightness LED bead 32, the first condensing lens 33, and the second condensing lens 34 are sequentially installed in the cylindrical body 31 along the light-emitting direction. Specifically, the light emitted by the high-brightness LED bead 32 passes through the first condensing lens 33 and the second condensing lens 34, resulting in higher light intensity and a farther illumination range. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the backlight assembly 2 and the high-brightness light source assembly 3 can effectively illuminate the surface of workpieces both close to and far from the light source, thus expanding the applicability of the light source.

[0052] Optionally, the diffuser plate 22 is provided with a through hole 121, the cylinder 31 is inclined, and the wall of the through hole 121 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 31. Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the cylinder 31 is inclined and the wall of the through hole 121 fits against the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 31, thereby enabling the cylinder 31 to support the diffuser plate 22 and preventing the diffuser plate 22 from sagging due to lack of support in the middle. Preferably, the center line of the through hole 121 coincides with the center line of the cylinder 31.

[0053] It should be noted that if the cylinder 31 is inclined and the wall of the through hole 121 is attached to the outer circumference of the cylinder 31, then the diffuser plate 22 and the high-brightness light source assembly 3 need to be assembled first, and the high-brightness light source assembly 3 needs to be fixed relatively before fixing the high-brightness light source assembly 3 to the outer shell 1. The installation is more complicated.

[0054] Optionally, the diffuser plate 22 is provided with a through hole 121, and the distance between the wall of the through hole 121 and the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 31 is less than 0.5 mm. Specifically, the distance between the wall of the through hole 121 and the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 31 is less than 0.5 mm, which makes the installation of the cylinder 31 more convenient.

[0055] Optionally, the housing 1 includes a top plate 11 and a side frame 12 mounted on one side of the bottom of the top plate 11. The top plate 11 and the side frame 12 are combined to form a clamping groove 13 for clamping the circuit board 211. The outer periphery of the circuit board 211 extends into the clamping groove 13, and the circuit board 211 is in contact with the top surface of the lamp board 21.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the circuit board 211 is secured by the clamping groove 13, thereby achieving complete fixation of the circuit board 211. That is, the circuit board 211 needs to be placed directly above the side frame 12 first, and then the top plate 11 is placed on the side frame 12. The top plate 11 and the side frame 12 are then locked with screws, and the top plate 11 and the side frame 12 clamp the circuit board 211.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 6 The outer casing 1 has a camera detection hole 101, and the center line of the camera detection hole 101 coincides with the center line of the backlight assembly 2. The lamp plate 21 has a first through hole 201 corresponding to the camera detection hole 101, and the diffuser plate 22 has a second through hole 202 corresponding to the camera detection hole 101. The outer casing 1 also has a detection cylinder 110, one end of which is connected to the outer casing 1, and the other end extends sequentially into the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202. The wall of the second through hole 202 abuts against the outer periphery of the detection cylinder 110. The detection cylinder 110 does not protrude from the bottom surface of the diffuser plate 22 to avoid light blocking. The camera detection hole 101 allows the detection camera to be positioned at the top of the outer casing 1 and inspect the surface defects of the workpiece through the camera detection hole. Preferably, the wall of the second through hole 202 abuts against the outer periphery of the detection cylinder 110, and the friction between the detection cylinder 110 and the diffuser plate 22 allows the detection cylinder 110 to also provide some support for the diffuser plate 22.

[0058] Optionally, the high-brightness lamp bead 32 is an LED lamp bead.

[0059] Example 2

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.
