Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present patent can be further understood through the specific embodiments given below, but they are not intended to limit the present patent.
[0023] Example 1: A surface defect detection device includes: a detection platform 200 for placing a product 100 to be inspected and a spray unit 300 disposed above the detection platform 200. The spray unit 300 for spraying onto the surface of the product 100 to be inspected includes: a body 1 vertically disposed above the detection platform 200; a spray guide groove 2 is formed on the lower end surface of the body 1; a feed chamber 3 is formed inside the body 1 and above the spray guide groove 2; the lower end of the feed chamber 3, which is spaced apart from the spray guide groove 2, forms a gap with the spray guide groove 2. A partition layer 4 is formed, and several through holes 41 are spaced apart on the partition layer 4 to connect the feed chamber 3 and the spray guide channel 2. The upper end of the feed chamber 3 is connected to the outlet end of a three-way connector 6. The two inlet ends of the three-way connector 6 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe. Several heating rods 5 are embedded and installed in the body 1 and located outside the feed chamber 3. The feed chamber 3 is filled with heat-conducting particles. A mesh layer 7 is provided on the upper surface of the partition layer 4. The mesh size of the mesh layer 7 covering the through holes 41 is smaller than the outer diameter of the heat-conducting particles.
[0024] When in use, place the product to be inspected on the inspection platform. First, spray the surface of the product to be inspected through the spray unit. During the spraying process, when the area of the surface to be inspected is large, the spray unit can be moved or the inspection platform can be moved to make relative movement between the spray unit and the surface to be inspected, so as to achieve full-area spraying of the surface to be inspected.
[0025] Unlike conventional spray valves, the spray unit of this application introduces liquid (such as distilled water, ethanol, etc.) into the feed chamber. The feed chamber is maintained at a constant temperature (e.g., 200°C, which can be adjusted according to the physicochemical properties of the liquid in the feed chamber) by the heating rod. The liquid entering the feed chamber vaporizes under high temperature. During this process, the heat-conducting particles filling the feed chamber greatly increase the contact area between the liquid and the heat source, which can also improve the uniformity of liquid heating, thereby improving the vaporization speed and efficiency as well as the uniformity of steam formation.
[0026] The lower end of the aforementioned body 1 is equipped with an atomizing nozzle 9 that communicates with the spray guide groove 2. The atomizing nozzle 9 is used to spray onto the surface of the product 100 to be inspected.
[0027] The aforementioned testing platform 200 is a mobile platform.
[0028] The above also includes a visual inspection unit disposed above the inspection platform 200. The visual inspection unit, located behind the spray unit 300 in the direction of movement of the product to be inspected 100, is used to photograph the surface of the product to be inspected 100 after spraying.
[0029] The aforementioned product 100 to be inspected is a display screen for an electronic product.
[0030] The aforementioned mesh layer 7 is a metal mesh layer.
[0031] The aforementioned body 1 is a metal thermally conductive body, and the thermally conductive particles are metal particles.
[0032] Example 2: A surface defect detection device includes: a detection platform 200 for placing a product 100 to be inspected and a spray unit 300 disposed above the detection platform 200. The spray unit 300 for spraying onto the surface of the product 100 to be inspected includes: a body 1 vertically disposed above the detection platform 200; a spray guide groove 2 is formed on the lower end surface of the body 1; a feed chamber 3 is formed inside the body 1 and above the spray guide groove 2; the lower end of the feed chamber 3, which is spaced apart from the spray guide groove 2, forms a gap with the spray guide groove 2. A partition layer 4 is formed, and several through holes 41 are spaced apart on the partition layer 4 to connect the feed chamber 3 and the spray guide channel 2. The upper end of the feed chamber 3 is connected to the outlet end of a three-way connector 6. The two inlet ends of the three-way connector 6 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe. Several heating rods 5 are embedded and installed in the body 1 and located outside the feed chamber 3. The feed chamber 3 is filled with heat-conducting particles. A mesh layer 7 is provided on the upper surface of the partition layer 4. The mesh size of the mesh layer 7 covering the through holes 41 is smaller than the outer diameter of the heat-conducting particles.
[0033] The rapidly vaporized hot steam, under the influence of the gas entering the feed chamber through the three-way connector, is blown out of the spray unit through the spray guide channel and evenly dispersed onto the surface of the product to be inspected. The hot steam carrying heat cools and forms a fine and uniform liquid particle film on the surface to be inspected. The particle size of the liquid particles is much smaller than that of the spray particles from the spray valve, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the surface to be inspected and the detection effect on minor defects. It can also ensure the accuracy and consistency of the steam spray volume, and improve the consistency of inspection of the surface of different products to be inspected.
[0034] The lower end of the aforementioned body 1 is equipped with an atomizing nozzle 9 that communicates with the spray guide groove 2. The atomizing nozzle 9 is used to spray onto the surface of the product 100 to be inspected.
[0035] The aforementioned product 100 to be inspected is a glass cover for an electronic product.
[0036] The aforementioned mesh layer 7 is a metal mesh layer.
[0037] A temperature sensor 8 is embedded in the aforementioned body 1.

[0039] The feed baffle 11 has a feed hole 111 extending along its length. The pressure block 12 has a feed groove 121 that mates with the feed hole 111 on its lower surface facing the feed baffle 11. The feed groove 121 is connected to the outlet end of the tee connector 6 through a pipeline.
[0040] The length of the feed groove 121 is the same as the length of the feed hole 111, the width of the feed groove 121 is greater than the width of the feed hole 111, and the length of the feed hole 111 is the same as the width of the upper end of the feed chamber 3.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0042] When in use, place the product to be inspected on the inspection platform. First, spray the surface of the product to be inspected through the spray unit. During the spraying process, when the area of the surface to be inspected is large, the spray unit can be moved or the inspection platform can be moved to make relative movement between the spray unit and the surface to be inspected, so as to achieve full-area spraying of the surface to be inspected.
[0043] Unlike conventional spray valves, the spray unit of this application introduces liquid (such as distilled water, ethanol, etc.) into the feed chamber. The feed chamber is maintained at a constant temperature (e.g., 200°C, which can be adjusted according to the physicochemical properties of the liquid in the feed chamber) by the heating rod. The liquid entering the feed chamber vaporizes under high temperature. During this process, the heat-conducting particles filling the feed chamber greatly increase the contact area between the liquid and the heat source, which can also improve the uniformity of liquid heating, thereby improving the vaporization speed and efficiency as well as the uniformity of steam formation.
[0044] The rapidly vaporized hot steam, under the influence of the gas entering the feed chamber through the three-way connector, is blown out of the spray unit through the spray guide channel and evenly dispersed onto the surface of the product to be inspected. The hot steam carrying heat cools and forms a fine and uniform liquid particle film on the surface to be inspected. The particle size of the liquid particles is much smaller than that of the spray particles from the spray valve, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the surface to be inspected and the detection effect on minor defects. It can also ensure the accuracy and consistency of the steam spray volume, and improve the consistency of inspection of the surface of different products to be inspected.
[0045] When using the above-mentioned surface defect detection device, the liquid in the feed chamber is vaporized by high temperature, and the contact area between the liquid and the heat source in the feed chamber and the uniformity of heating are increased by heat-conducting particles to improve the vaporization speed, efficiency and uniformity. Then, the vaporized steam is sprayed out from the spray guide channel to the surface of the product to be inspected by the high-pressure gas entering the feed chamber. The hot steam carrying heat forms a fine and uniform thin film layer on the surface to be inspected when it is cooled, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the surface to be inspected and the detection effect of small defects.
