Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of defect detection device technology, and in particular to a defect detection device for printed packaging products based on machine vision. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the modern printing industry, people have increasingly higher requirements for printing technology. Against this backdrop, fast and high-precision image detection and recognition algorithms are needed to meet the current demands for high speed and high accuracy in surface defect detection. From offline to online detection, this continuously drives the printing industry towards high quality, high efficiency, and low cost. Common surface defects include: missing prints, stains, scratches, ink smears, ink splatter, color difference, and misregistration. These issues lead to excessively high scrap rates, which seriously affect production quality. To strictly control the defect rate, it is necessary to inspect the printed surface during printing, removing as many defective products as possible during production.
[0003] Traditional inspection methods rely primarily on human visual inspection to identify and reject defective products. However, human visual inspection is prone to fatigue, slow, and inefficient. It also has a high rate of missed detection for small, densely packed markings and cannot guarantee consistent quality standards. Therefore, automated surface defect detection is gradually becoming an industry trend.
[0004] A machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products, disclosed in publication number CN206583819U, includes a production line for transporting product packaging. This production line is driven by a motor. Robotic arm control devices are located on both sides of the production line. A robotic arm assembly is positioned above the control devices. A camera adjustment mechanism is located at the front end of the robotic arm assembly. Above the camera adjustment mechanism are a CCD camera assembly and a positioning robotic arm. A fixing baffle assembly and a positioning baffle assembly are located at the control devices. A control box contains a display at the top and a power supply unit inside. The control box also houses the control unit. This device allows the packaging to be placed on the production line, positioned and rotated by the robotic arm, and photographed by the CCD camera during the process. Defect identification and display are then performed using the control box and the display.
[0005] While the aforementioned patent achieves the goal of simply placing the packaging on the assembly line, using a robotic arm to position and flip the product, taking photos with a CCD camera during the process, and then using a control box and display to identify and display defects, the device lacks a mechanism for sorting defective products to ensure product quality on the production line and improve production efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products that is highly practical, easy to operate, and has a simple structure, thus solving the problem of lacking a mechanism for sorting defective products mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products, comprising a worktable, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the top of the worktable, support blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the worktable surface, a motor housing fixedly connected to the top of the support blocks, a rotating mechanism fixedly connected inside the motor housing, a camera A fixedly connected to the top of the rotating mechanism, a sorting table fixedly connected to the back of the worktable, a drive mechanism fixedly connected inside the sorting table, a sorting tray threadedly connected to the top of the drive mechanism, a support plate fixedly connected to one edge of the top surface of the sorting table, a detection mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a camera B electrically connected to one side of the detection mechanism via a power cord, and a side of the camera A electrically connected to one end of the detection mechanism via a power cord.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a servo motor fixedly connected inside the motor housing, a transmission rod connected to the output end of the servo motor via a spline, a rotating rod fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod, and the camera A fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor fixedly connected inside the sorting table, and a U-shaped connector fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, the U-shaped connector being threadedly connected to the bottom of the sorting tray.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the detection mechanism includes an image processor fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, one side of the image processor is electrically connected to an integrated control panel via a power cord, and one side of the integrated control panel is electrically connected to one side of the camera B via a power cord.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two sets of baffles are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and the baffles are located on both sides of the conveyor belt.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, sliding rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the sorting table, and a collection bin is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rails.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the workbench is provided with four sets of threaded holes, and the internal threads of the threaded holes are connected to threaded columns.
[0015] This utility model provides a machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products, through the setup of a detection mechanism, camera B, drive mechanism, and sorting tray, allows the camera B on one side to take pictures of the products on the conveyor belt during transport. The captured images are transmitted to an image processor on one side for processing, and then the processed data is transmitted to an integrated control panel on one side. The integrated control panel then controls the drive motor inside the sorting tray to rotate forward and backward, so that the products falling onto the sorting tray will fall along multiple rollers on the sorting tray into the corresponding collection bins for unified storage. This eliminates the need for manual sorting, ensuring product quality on the production line and improving production efficiency.
[0017] 2. This machine vision-based defect detection device for printed packaging products, through the setting of a rotating mechanism and camera A, has cameras A set on both sides of the conveyor belt during use. The servo motor on the top can be activated, and the servo motor drives the camera A on the top rotating rod to rotate, thereby increasing the shooting range of camera A and enabling all-round defect detection of the product, reducing the possibility of missed or false detections.
