[0041] In this embodiment, since the taking and placing position is close to the edge of machine table 1, it is convenient for workers to manually take out product 100 from the visual inspection equipment or place product 100 on the visual inspection equipment;Since at first detection position, the upper surface of product 100 is opposite to image pickup device 2, image pickup device 2 can shoot the upper surface of product 100 and obtain the information of the upper surface of product 100 to detect the defects on the upper surface of product 100;Since at second detection position, the side of product 100 is opposite to image pickup device 2, image pickup device 2 can shoot the side of product 100 and obtain the information of the side of product 100 to detect the defects on the side of product 100;Since image pickup device 2 and mobile unit 3 are both arranged on machine table 1, the visual inspection equipment has an integrated structure, which is simple in structure and convenient to carry;The visual inspection equipment can automatically move product 100 by mobile unit 3 and shoot and detect each surface of product 100 by image pickup device 2, which has high automation degree and accurate detection results, and avoids human errors caused by manual detection.
[0042] Specifically, the general working process of the visual inspection equipment is as follows: the worker places product 100 to be detected at the taking and placing position of the visual inspection equipment, and then mobile unit 3 moves product 100 to first detection position, at which time the upper surface of product 100 is opposite to image pickup device 2, image pickup device 2 shoots the upper surface of product 100 and transmits the image to the externally connected computer, and the computer analyzes the defects on the upper surface of product 100 by image analysis software;Then mobile unit 3 moves product 100 to second detection position, at which time the side of product 100 is opposite to image pickup device 2, image pickup device 2 shoots the side of product 100 and transmits the image to the externally connected computer, and the computer analyzes the defects on the side of product 100 by image analysis software, and judges whether product 100 is qualified or not in combination with the analysis result of the upper surface;After the above process is completed, mobile unit 3 moves product 100, which has completed detection, to taking and placing position, and the worker classifies and places product 100 according to the detection result of product 100.
[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mobile unit 3 includes a Y-axis moving module 31 and an X-axis moving module 32, both of which are arranged on the machine table 1. The Y-axis moving module 31 can drive the product 100 to move along the Y-axis between the loading and unloading position and the first detection position, and the X-axis moving module 32 can drive the product 100 to move along the X-axis between the first detection position and the second detection position.

In this embodiment, the Z-axis moving module 34 has the same structure as the Y-axis moving module 31, and is a common screw guide rail device in the art, and the specific structure is not described here. The Z-axis moving module 34 is arranged on one sliding table of the X-axis moving module 32. The vacuum suction accessory 35 includes a vacuum pump and a suction head. The vacuum pump is connected with the suction head through a pipeline, so as to generate negative pressure at the port of the suction head, thereby sucking the product 100 and moving the product 100 between the first detection position and the second detection position.
[0048] In this embodiment, the screw motors of the X-axis moving module 32, the Y-axis moving module 31 and the Z-axis moving module 34 are automatically controlled by an external control system, without manual operation by the staff.
[0049] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the image taking device 2 comprises a first camera 21 and a second camera 22, the first camera 21 is arranged on the X-axis moving module 32, and the second camera 22 is arranged on the machine table 1; the first camera 21 is used for shooting the product 100 located at the first detection position, and the second camera 22 is used for shooting the product 100 located at the second detection position. Specifically, the X-axis moving module 32 has two sliding tables, one of which is provided with the first camera 21, and the other is provided with the Z-axis moving module 34, and each sliding table can move along the X-axis; since the first camera 21 can move along the X-axis, it can shoot products 100 of different sizes and specifications, greatly improving the practicability of the visual inspection equipment.
[0050] In order to improve the accuracy of detection, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 The visual inspection equipment further comprises a second light supplement lamp 6, which is arranged on the machine table 1, and the second light supplement lamp 6 is arranged opposite to the product 100 at the second detection position, and the second light supplement lamp 6 is used for illuminating the product 100 at the second detection position, ensuring that the second camera 22 can shoot clear images.
