Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board testing technology, and in particular to a circuit board testing device. Background Technology
[0002] As circuit board designs become increasingly complex, their circuit layouts become more intricate, and the integration of components becomes higher. Traditional testing methods often struggle to accurately identify subtle defects such as minute open circuits, short circuits, and hidden defects like poor soldering or missing solder joints in some components. These minor flaws can lead to serious problems such as intermittent malfunctions, performance instability, or even complete failure of electronic devices. Furthermore, existing circuit board testing technologies are relatively unautomated. Most testing processes still rely on manual operation or only partially automate steps, resulting in low efficiency and susceptibility to human error. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of poor testing performance of existing circuit board testing equipment by providing a circuit board testing device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A circuit board inspection device includes a forward inspection module, the forward inspection module comprising:
[0006] The camera module includes a first detection camera and a second detection camera set at an angle to each other;
[0007] The light source module includes a first light source component, a second light source component, and a third light source component that illuminate the circuit board to be tested from different angles. The illumination light emitted by the third light source component is reflected by a beam splitter and then illuminates the circuit board to be tested. A first detection camera is positioned on the reverse extension line of the third light source component reflected by the beam splitter, and the first detection camera acquires image information of the circuit board to be tested transmitted from the beam splitter.
[0008] Preferably, the first light source component, the second light source component, and the third light source component are all line light sources, and the three line light sources overlap on the circuit board to be tested.
[0009] Preferably, the third light source component illuminates the circuit board to coordinate with the photographing action of the first detection camera, and the first light source component and the second light source component illuminate the circuit board to coordinate with the photographing action of the second detection camera.

[0010] Preferably, the shooting direction of the first detection camera is perpendicular to the circuit board to be detected.
[0011] Preferably, both the first light source assembly and the second light source assembly are connected to an angle adjustment mechanism, and the angle between the first light source assembly and the detection surface of the circuit board is smaller than the angle between the second light source assembly and the detection surface of the circuit board.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of a circuit board testing device includes a forward testing module, which comprises:
[0026] Camera module 1 includes a first inspection camera 101 and a second inspection camera 102 set at an angle. Both cameras can be high-resolution, high-frame-rate industrial cameras, capable of quickly and accurately acquiring image information of the circuit board. The first inspection camera 101 is perpendicular to the circuit board to be inspected, thus obtaining a front view of the circuit board surface, which is crucial for inspecting component layout and solder joint quality. The second inspection camera 102 is set at a certain angle to the first inspection camera 101, for example, between 30° and 60°. By shooting from different angles, the quality of the circuit board can be inspected more comprehensively, such as the side pin conditions of components.
[0027] The first inspection camera 101 and the second inspection camera 102 are both connected to the mounting base 4 by an adjustment seat 5. The adjustment seat 5 includes a first adjustment block arranged along the axis of the corresponding inspection camera and a second adjustment block perpendicular to the axis. The ends of the first adjustment block and the second adjustment block are provided with a tightening screw 501. By adjusting the tightening screw 501, the positions of the first inspection camera 101 and the second inspection camera 102 can be precisely adjusted to meet the inspection requirements of circuit boards of different sizes and types.
[0028] The light source module 2 includes a first light source assembly 201, a second light source assembly 202, and a third light source assembly 203 that illuminate the circuit board to be inspected from different angles. The first and second light source assemblies 201 and 202 are located on opposite sides above the circuit board and are arranged at an angle. The third light source assembly 203, together with the first and second light source assemblies 201 and 202, forms a left detection channel 204 and a right detection channel 205. The second inspection camera 102 performs photographic inspection of the circuit board through the left detection channel 204.
[0029] The first light source assembly 201, the second light source assembly 202, and the third light source assembly 203 are all line light sources. The three line light sources overlap on the circuit board to be tested, which is conducive to time-division strobe, making it easier to present different defects on the product surface and to help the camera capture clear images.
[0030] The third light source assembly 203 illuminates the circuit board to coordinate with the image-taking action of the first detection camera 101. The first light source assembly 201 and the second light source assembly 202 illuminate the circuit board to coordinate with the image-taking action of the second detection camera 102. The first detection camera 101 and the second detection camera 102 are configured to take pictures at preset time intervals, for example, the preset time interval can be between 0.1 seconds and 0.5 seconds. This allows for the rapid acquisition of multiple angle images of the circuit board under different light source illumination, improving detection accuracy.
[0031] Both the first light source assembly 201 and the second light source assembly 202 are connected to an angle adjustment mechanism. The angle between the first light source assembly 201 and the circuit board detection surface is smaller than the angle between the second light source assembly 202 and the circuit board detection surface. Specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism includes an arc-shaped adjustment groove 401 disposed on the mounting base 4. The first light source assembly 201 and the second light source assembly 202 are adjustablely connected to the arc-shaped adjustment groove 401 by screws. By adjusting the position of the screws in the arc-shaped adjustment groove 401, the illumination angle of the first light source assembly 201 and the second light source assembly 202 can be easily adjusted to achieve the best lighting effect.
[0032] The illumination light emitted by the third light source assembly 203 is reflected by the beam splitter 3 and then illuminates the circuit board to be tested. The first detection camera 101 is positioned on the reverse extension line of the third light source assembly 203 reflected by the beam splitter 3. The first detection camera 101 acquires image information of the circuit board to be tested transmitted from the beam splitter 3. The beam splitter 3 can use high-precision optical lenses to effectively split the light from the third light source assembly 203, meeting the imaging requirements of the first detection camera 101.
[0033] Both camera module 1 and light source module 2 are mounted on mounting base 4. Mounting base 4 is connected to a three-axis moving mechanism, which drives mounting base 4 to move along three axes, with one axis moving parallel to the circuit board conveying direction. The three-axis moving mechanism can employ high-precision linear guides and a motor drive system, enabling precise movement of mounting base 4 in the X, Y, and Z directions, with a movement accuracy of, for example, between 0.01mm and 0.1mm. Through the three-axis moving mechanism, the positions of camera module 1 and light source module 2 can be flexibly adjusted, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection.
[0034] The circuit board inspection equipment in this embodiment also includes a reverse inspection module, which includes a fourth light source assembly 6 and a fifth light source assembly 7 located below the circuit board and illuminating the circuit board to be inspected from different directions. A third inspection camera 8 is located below the fourth light source assembly 6 and the fifth light source assembly 7, and the shooting direction of the third inspection camera 8 is perpendicular to the circuit board to be inspected. The fourth light source assembly 6 and the fifth light source assembly 7 can also be line light sources. The third inspection camera 8 can acquire image information of the back of the circuit board and detect whether there are defects in the solder joints, circuits, etc. on the back of the circuit board.
[0035] The circuit board forward detection module and reverse detection module are spaced apart in the circuit board conveying direction. This allows for efficient and accurate detection of the front and back sides of the circuit board as it passes through the forward and reverse detection modules in sequence, thereby improving the detection efficiency and reliability of the entire detection equipment.
[0036] Through the above specific embodiments, the circuit board testing equipment of the present invention can effectively perform all-round, high-precision testing on circuit boards.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
