[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a workpiece surface inspection device, including a first optical refracting mirror 1 and a second optical refracting mirror 2 arranged opposite to each other, and a first line laser 3.
[0049] For easier understanding, please refer to the following: Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of first refraction grooves 11 are arranged on the first optical refraction mirror 1, and a plurality of second refraction grooves 21 are arranged on the second optical refraction mirror 2. The first refraction grooves 11 and the second refraction grooves 21 are the same size.
[0050] The first refractive groove 11 has a first groove surface 111 and a second groove surface 112, and the first groove surface 111 and the second groove surface 112 are symmetrically arranged about a set vertical plane; the second refractive groove 21 has a third groove surface 211 parallel to the first groove surface 111 and a fourth groove surface 212 parallel to the second groove surface 112, and one side of the first groove surface 111 and one side of the third groove surface 211 are opposite to each other, and one side of the second groove surface 112 and one side of the fourth groove surface 212 are opposite to each other.
[0051] The first laser 3 is used to emit a line laser beam onto one of the first groove surfaces 111. The line laser beam forms a line spot on the first groove surface 111, which is parallel to the set vertical surface.
[0052] In this embodiment, the workpiece surface inspection device emits a linear laser beam from a first line laser 3 onto the first groove surface 111 of a first refractive groove 11. The first groove surface 111 then reflects the laser beam to a second groove surface 112, which in turn reflects it to a third groove surface 211 of a second refractive groove 21. The third groove surface reflects the laser beam to a fourth groove surface 212, which in turn reflects it to the first groove surface 111 of another first refractive groove 11. This results in a serpentine path for the laser beam: first refractive groove 11 – second refractive groove 21 – second first refractive groove 11 – second second refractive groove 21, and so on. When the laser beam is refracted from the first refractive groove 11 to the second refractive groove 21, a stripe-shaped light spot is formed on the workpiece surface. Similarly, when the laser beam is refracted from the second refractive groove 21 to the first refractive groove 11, a stripe-shaped light spot is also formed on the workpiece surface. This creates a striped light spot on the workpiece surface, which effectively and conveniently detects whether there are defects in the workpiece. The workpiece surface inspection device of this embodiment does not require a large number of line lasers, which can effectively reduce production costs.
[0053] It should be noted that the first groove surface 111 and the third groove surface 211 are of the same width and are parallel to each other. Similarly, the second groove surface 112 and the fourth groove surface 212 are of the same width and are parallel to each other.
[0054] Preferably, the first optical refracting mirror 1 is curved with its inner curved surface facing the second optical refracting mirror 2, and the second optical refracting mirror 2 is curved with its inner curved surface facing the first optical refracting mirror 1. This can reduce laser loss and help form a clear linear spot on the workpiece surface.
[0055] Optionally, the first line laser 3 is disposed on the second optical refracting mirror 2; at least two first line lasers 3 are disposed at intervals from top to bottom, and the center lines of all the first line lasers 3 are parallel to each other. Specifically, at least two first line lasers 3 are disposed, so that after the laser light is reflected by the first groove surface 111, more light can be reflected to the second groove surface 112, which helps to make the line of light spots on the workpiece clearer.
[0056] Optionally, the workpiece surface inspection device further includes a third optical refracting mirror 4 and a fourth optical refracting mirror 5 arranged opposite to each other, and a second line laser 6; the third optical refracting mirror 4 is provided with a plurality of third refractive grooves 41, and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5 is provided with a plurality of fourth refractive grooves 51, the third refractive grooves 41 and the fourth refractive grooves 51 being of the same size; the first optical refracting mirror 1, the second optical refracting mirror 2, the third optical refracting mirror 4 and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5 form a rectangular structure, thereby reducing laser leakage.
[0057] The third refractive groove 41 has a fifth groove surface 411 and a sixth groove surface 412, and the fifth groove surface 411 and the sixth groove surface 412 are symmetrically arranged about a set facade; the fourth refractive groove 51 has a seventh groove surface 511 parallel to the fifth groove surface 411 and an eighth groove surface 512 parallel to the sixth groove surface 412, and one fifth groove surface 411 and one seventh groove surface 511 face each other, and one sixth groove surface 412 and one eighth groove surface 512 face each other; the second line laser 6 is used to emit a line laser towards one of the fifth groove surfaces 411, and the line laser spot formed on the fifth groove surface 411 is parallel to the set facade; the third optical refracting mirror 4 is located on the top side of the first optical refracting mirror 1, and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5 is located on the bottom side of the first optical refracting mirror 1.
[0058] Similarly, the laser emitted by the second laser 6, after being refracted by the arranged third and fourth refractive grooves 41 and 51, can form striped light spots on both the bottom and bottom of the workpiece.
[0059] It should also be noted that there are cases where the laser beam is reflected by the first refractive groove 11 and then directed towards the third refractive groove 41 or the fourth refractive groove 51, before being reflected back to the second refractive groove 21. Therefore, the laser beam actually flows between the first refractive groove 11, the second refractive groove 21, the third refractive groove 41, and the fourth refractive groove 51 and continues forward, thereby forming striped light spots for detection on the surface of the workpiece.
[0060] Optionally, three second-line lasers 6 are provided, arranged alternately from left to right. It should be noted that the center lines of the second-line lasers 6 and the center lines of the first-line lasers 3 are on the same plane.
[0061] Optionally, the workpiece surface inspection device further includes an L-shaped connector 7; the top end of the first optical refracting mirror 1 and the third optical refracting mirror 4 are fixedly connected by the L-shaped connector 7; the top end of the second optical refracting mirror 2 and the third optical refracting mirror 4 are fixedly connected by the L-shaped connector 7. The bottom end of the first optical refracting mirror 1 and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5 are fixedly connected by the L-shaped connector 7; the bottom end of the second optical refracting mirror 2 and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5 are fixedly connected by the L-shaped connector 7. The L-shaped connector 7 is used to maintain the relative positions between the first optical refracting mirror 1, the second optical refracting mirror 2, the third optical refracting mirror 4 and the fourth optical refracting mirror 5, and to keep the entire workpiece surface inspection device stable.
[0062] Optionally, each L-shaped connector 7 is equipped with a detection camera 8, which can effectively detect the surface condition of the entire outer periphery of the workpiece.
[0063] Optionally, the workpiece surface inspection device also includes a connecting plate 9, and each L-shaped connector 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 9.
[0064] Optionally, the first optical reflecting mirror 1 is perpendicular to the third optical reflecting mirror 4.
[0065] Optionally, the workpiece surface inspection device also includes a light-shielding housing, in which the first optical reflecting mirror 1, the second optical reflecting mirror 2, and the first line laser 3 are all installed. The light-shielding housing is used to block and absorb the laser, preventing the laser from causing damage to the worker's eyes.
[0066] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. 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.
