Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine vision inspection technology, and in particular to an inspection light source and a pin inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] Machine vision uses machines to perform measurements and judgments instead of human eyes. It involves capturing images of a target using a camera, transmitting the images to a dedicated image processing system. This system converts the images into digital signals based on pixel distribution, brightness, color, and other information to detect defects in the workpiece. In modern automated production processes, machine vision systems are widely used in areas such as process monitoring, finished product inspection, and quality control.

[0003] Different products require different light sources for inspection. Taking pins in electronic products as an example, a planar light source typically shines light downwards onto the pin location on the workpiece, and then a camera captures the image to check for pin misalignment, deformation, or breakage, etc. However, under planar light, it is difficult to highlight the pin tips, resulting in low inspection accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a detection light source and pin detection device to improve the detection accuracy of pins.

[0005] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0040] Example 1

[0041] In view of the aforementioned deficiencies in existing detection 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, has actively conducted research and innovation in order to create a technology that can overcome the deficiencies in the existing technology and make the detection 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.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model embodiment provides a detection light source, including an annular housing 1, a first light-emitting component 2, and a second light-emitting component 3. The annular housing 1 serves a supporting function.

[0043] The annular housing 1 has a through detection hole 101. The first light-emitting component 2 is installed in the detection hole 101 and emits light downwards, thereby illuminating the workpiece from top to bottom. At this time, the pins of the workpiece are vertically upwards.

[0044] The second light-emitting component 3 includes a light-emitting slit 31 disposed on the annular housing 1 and a second lamp bead 32 for emitting light through the light-emitting slit 31, with the light-emitting slit 31 parallel to the bottom side of the first light-emitting component 2. The second light-emitting component 3 emits light through the light-emitting slit 31, forming a local bright area at the tip of the workpiece's pin, thus making it easier for the camera to photograph and detect the tip of the workpiece. After the pin is misaligned, deformed, or broken, the number and position of the local bright area will change significantly, which helps to improve the detection accuracy.

[0045] In this embodiment, the detection light source first illuminates the top of the workpiece through the first light-emitting component 2, and then illuminates the pin tip laterally through the second light-emitting component 3, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of pin detection.

[0046] Optionally, the first light-emitting component 2 includes a light guide plate 21, a group of first LED beads 22, and a circuit board 23; the light guide plate 21 is installed in the detection hole 101, and the first LED beads 22 in the group of first LED beads 22 surround the light guide plate 21; the first LED beads 22 are installed on the circuit board 23. A reflective recess is formed on the top surface of the light guide plate 21, the reflective recess is filled with reflective material, and the top surface of the reflective material is coated with a light-absorbing material.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first LED bead 22 projects light into the interior of the light guide plate 21 from all sides. The light is reflected by the reflective material in the light-emitting recess, causing the light to shine downwards onto the workpiece. The camera is positioned at the top of the light guide plate 21 and takes pictures of the workpiece through the light guide plate 21. The light-absorbing material effectively avoids reflection problems and improves image quality.

[0048] Optionally, the second light-emitting assembly 3 further includes a condensing lens 33, the number of which is the same as the number of second lamp beads 32, and the condensing lenses 33 are installed on the light-emitting side of the corresponding second lamp beads 32. The light emitted from the second lamp beads 32 is focused by the condensing lenses 33 and then emitted from the light-emitting slit 31, thereby improving the light intensity. Optionally, the condensing lens 33 is located between the light-emitting slit 31 and the second lamp beads 32, making the focusing effect of the condensing lens 33 better.

[0049] Optionally, both the first LED 22 and the second LED 32 are mounted on the circuit board 23, which helps to reduce the difficulty of installation.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, the detection hole 101 is a rectangular hole, and the circuit board 23 is provided with four rectangular holes.

[0051] Optionally, the annular housing 1 has a first annular surface 301 and a second annular surface 302, the first annular surface 301 being parallel to the second annular surface 302, and a light-emitting slit 31 being formed between the first annular surface 301 and the second annular surface 302; the first annular surface 301 is parallel to the bottom side surface of the first light-emitting component 2. Preferably, the distance between the first annular surface 301 and the second annular surface 302 is not greater than 0.5 mm.

[0052] Optionally, a heat sink 102 is provided on the outer periphery of the annular housing 1, and a cooling fan 4 is provided on the side of the annular housing 1. The heat sink 102 increases the heat dissipation area and improves the heat dissipation effect on the circuit board 23.
