[0033] In this embodiment, the pushing assembly 2 includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a fixing block 22 installed on the top left side of the detection table 1. A pushing plate 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the pushing cylinder 21 via a piston rod. A fixing rod 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the pushing plate 23. The surface of the fixing rod 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing block 22.

[0034] The pusher cylinder 21 is connected to an external air source through an air pipe; the fixing block 23 is used to slide and limit the fixing rod 24.

[0035] With the material discharge mechanism 7 installed, the material discharge plate 714 reciprocates on the top of the inspection table 1 under the drive of the drive motor 721. With the material pusher assembly 2 installed, the material pusher plate 23 reciprocates on the top of the inspection table 1 under the drive of the material pusher cylinder 21. Combined with the external computer's recognition and inspection results of the appearance of the car rearview mirror, qualified and unqualified products can be quickly classified. Qualified car rearview mirrors are pushed to the conveyor belt 4 for subsequent production processes, while unqualified car rearview mirrors are pushed to the collection box for centralized collection, which facilitates subsequent rework or recycling, thereby improving inspection efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detection component 3 includes a data display 31 and a device base 32 installed on the rear side of the top of the detection table 1, and an industrial camera 33 is installed on one side of the device base 32.

[0042] During operation, the car rearview mirror is first placed on top of the placement plate 6 by an external robotic arm or manually. Then, the rotary motor 51 is started to drive the rotary bevel gear 53 to rotate. The rotation of the rotary bevel gear 53 will drive the rotary bevel gear 54, support rod 52, placement plate 6 and car rearview mirror to rotate synchronously. Subsequently, two sets of industrial cameras 33 are started to take pictures of the appearance of the car rearview mirror and transmit the captured appearance data to an external computer.

When the inspection result is unqualified, the drive motor 721 is started to drive the drive screw 722 to rotate. The rotation of the drive screw 722 causes the sliding plate 712 to slide on the surface of the positioning rod 711. The sliding of the sliding plate 712 causes the sliding rod 713 and the discharge plate 714 to slide synchronously. The discharge plate 714 pushes the inspected car rearview mirrors from the top of the placement plate 6 onto the surface of the inclined plate, and guides them to the collection box for centralized collection, facilitating recycling or repair.
