Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of resistance testing equipment technology, and in particular to a surface mount resistor appearance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Visual inspection is a crucial step in the production of surface mount resistors. It ensures quality, prevents defective components from entering the production line, and avoids subsequent problems. For example, a cracked resistor or poor soldering can cause the entire circuit board to fail. Visual inspection also includes checking the accuracy of markings and the clarity of resistance values ​​to ensure correct identification by the machine during automated placement. Furthermore, visual inspection of surface mount resistors also checks whether their dimensions conform to specifications; otherwise, installation problems will occur.

[0003] Existing visual inspection machines typically only have a single conveyor belt, allowing for the visual inspection of only one resistor sheet per inspection cycle, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the camera's inspection angle is difficult to adjust, making it inconvenient for visually inspecting surface mount resistors of different specifications. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a surface mount resistor appearance inspection device, which is equipped with dual conveyor belts and two sets of inspection camera modules to perform appearance inspection of two surface mount resistors within the same inspection cycle. In addition, the adjustment structure of the camera is improved to enhance the convenience of camera adjustment.

The X-axis camera unit is mounted on the X-axis support rod, and its shooting angle is perpendicular to the conveyor belt in the horizontal direction. The two X-axis camera units and the Y-axis camera unit are electrically connected to the control device. Within the same detection cycle, the camera modules on both sides capture images of the resistive sheet placed on the conveyor belts on both sides. At least three different perspective images are obtained from each resistive sheet, and the images are sent to the control device for screening and detection.

[0006] In a further technical solution, the Y-axis camera unit includes a connecting sleeve that is fitted onto the Y-axis support rod. One Y-axis camera unit in the same camera module has its shooting angle set vertically downwards to form a top-down view sample acquisition source. The shooting angle of the other Y-axis camera unit is set at an angle and faces the adjacent conveyor belt to form an oblique view sample acquisition source. The X-axis camera unit includes another connecting sleeve with a right-angle connector at its bottom. The X-axis camera unit is fixed to the outer end of the right-angle connector. The shooting angle of the X-axis camera unit is always perpendicular to the conveyor belt in the horizontal direction to form a side view sample acquisition source.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the conveyor belt device includes two rollers located at the feeding end and the discharging end of the conveyor belt device, respectively. Two conveyor belts are wound around these two rollers, and a drive motor is drivenly connected to either roller. The drive motor is electrically connected to a control device.

[0009] In a further technical solution, a hollow space is formed between the two conveyor belts, and a dust collection device is installed in the middle of the hollow space; an illumination lamp device is installed on each side of the hollow space, and the illumination angle of the illumination lamp device is set at an upward angle.

Combined with symmetrically arranged camera modules, it can simultaneously collect multi-angle data on two resistors within the same detection cycle, improving the detection efficiency by about 100% compared to traditional single conveyor belt equipment, thus meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0017] 2. Each camera module integrates three detection perspectives: top-down (vertical Y-axis), oblique (tilted Y-axis), and side-view (horizontal X-axis).

The suspension bracket includes a fixed support 31, an X-axis support rod 32 and a Y-axis support rod 34 arranged horizontally. The fixed support 31 is fixedly installed on the machine body 1 or the conveyor belt device 2. One end of the X-axis support rod 32 is connected to the top of the fixed support 31, and the extension direction of the X-axis support rod 32 is perpendicular to the conveyor belt. The Y-axis support rod 34 is fixed to the outer end of the X-axis support rod 32, and the Y-axis support rod 34 is located directly above the corresponding conveyor belt.

A single inspection can acquire high-definition images of key parts such as the top, side, and solder joints of the resistor, avoiding missed detections due to a single angle.
