[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model; Figure 2 This is the structure of the copper plate clamping and positioning mechanism of this utility model.

[0022] Schematic diagram; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the non-conforming product blocking mechanism of this utility model.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a copper plate inspection machine includes a copper plate horizontal conveyor 1, a copper plate infeed mechanism 2, a CCD camera 3, a camera Y-axis moving mechanism 4, a copper plate clamping and positioning mechanism 5, a copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6, a defective product blocking mechanism 7, and a defective product removal mechanism 8. The copper plate horizontal conveyor 1 has a copper plate infeed mechanism 2 at its infeed end and a defective product blocking mechanism 7 and a defective product removal mechanism 8 at its outlet end. The camera Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is located above the copper plate horizontal conveyor 1, and a CCD camera 3 is mounted on the moving part of the camera Y-axis moving mechanism 4. The copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6 is located below the copper plate horizontal conveyor 1, and a copper plate clamping and positioning mechanism 5 is mounted on the moving part of the copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6.

[0024] Both the copper plate infeed mechanism 2 and the defective product outfeed mechanism 8 include a horizontal rodless cylinder 21, a gripper 22, and a gripper lifting cylinder 23. The cylinder body of the gripper lifting cylinder 23 is fixed on the slide of the horizontal rodless cylinder 21, and the gripper 22 is fixed on the piston rod of the gripper lifting cylinder 23.

[0025] The horizontal rodless cylinder 21 can drive the gripper 22 to move horizontally in a straight line, and the gripper lifting cylinder 23 can drive the gripper 22 to move vertically in a straight line. The gripper 22 is used to hold the copper plate.

[0026] The camera Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is a horizontal linear module, and the CCD camera 3 is connected to the slide of the horizontal linear module.

[0027] The camera Y-axis movement mechanism 4 drives the CCD camera 3 to move horizontally along the Y-axis. The CCD camera 3 can capture image information of the copper plate below and transmit this information to the PLC. The PLC then determines whether the copper plate is qualified.

[0028] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the copper plate clamping and positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning platform 51, a lifting cylinder 52, a blocking cylinder 53, a clamping cylinder 54, and a clamping block 55. The piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 52 is fixed to the positioning platform 51. The bottom of the positioning platform 51 is fixed to the cylinder body of the blocking cylinder 53 and the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 54. The positioning platform 51 is provided with a through hole for the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 53 to pass through. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 54 is fixed to the clamping block 55.

[0029] Initially, the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 53 is extended. During the copper plate conveying process, the copper plate will collide with the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 53 and stop moving. At this time, the lifting cylinder 52 drives the positioning table 51 to move upward, thereby lifting the copper plate away from the copper plate conveyor 1. Then, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 54 drives the clamping block 55 to move towards the copper plate until the copper plate is clamped and fixed between the clamping block 55 and the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 53.

[0030] The copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6 is a horizontal linear module one, and the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 52 is fixed on the slide of the horizontal linear module one.

[0031] The copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6 can drive the copper plate to move horizontally in a straight line along the X-axis.

[0032] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the non-conforming product blocking mechanism 7 includes a baffle and a baffle lifting cylinder, with the baffle fixed on the piston rod of the baffle lifting cylinder.

[0033] When the PLC determines that the detected copper plate is defective, it controls the baffle lifting cylinder to drive the baffle to move up, thereby blocking the copper plate from moving forward.

[0034] A non-conforming product horizontal conveyor 9 is provided on one side of the non-conforming product removal mechanism 8. The non-conforming product horizontal conveyor 9 is a belt conveyor.

[0035] The copper plate horizontal conveyor 1 is a double belt conveyor.

[0036] The working method of this application is as follows: First, the copper plate to be tested transfer mechanism 2 transports the copper plate to be tested onto the copper plate horizontal conveyor 1, which then horizontally conveys the copper plate forward. When the copper plate is blocked by the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 53, the copper plate clamping and positioning mechanism 5 clamps and lifts the copper plate. The copper plate X-axis moving mechanism 6 drives the copper plate to move horizontally along the X-axis, while the camera Y-axis moving mechanism 4 above drives the CCD camera 3 to move horizontally along the Y-axis, thereby realizing the detection of the copper plate.

[0037] If the copper plate is defective, the defective product blocking mechanism 7 blocks the copper plate, and the defective product removal mechanism 8 picks up the copper plate and places it on the defective product horizontal conveyor 9 to remove it.

[0038] If the copper plate is qualified, the copper plate horizontal conveyor 1 will continuously convey the copper plate forward to the qualified product picking station.

[0039] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
