Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a light inspection station, including an inspection platform 3 that receives the discharge port 2 of the material tank 1. The inspection platform 3 is provided with a light-emitting inspection area, and also includes an observation device with magnification function, which is mounted above the inspection area; there is space between the observation device and the inspection area for inspection personnel to operate.
[0026] An observation device with magnification is installed above the testing area, and there is space between the observation device and the testing area for testing personnel to operate. The observation device can magnify the capsules placed in the testing area, so that testing personnel can better detect abnormal capsules and avoid missed detections.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the observation device is a transparent plate 6 mounted above the detection area, and the transparent plate 6 is provided with Fresnel threads. The Fresnel threads have a magnifying effect, which can magnify the capsules placed in the detection area, so that the inspectors can better detect abnormal capsules. Support plates are provided on both sides of the transparent plate 6 to abut against the detection table 3, so that the observation device can be detachably mounted on the detection table 3.
[0028] In other embodiments, the observation device may also include a high-definition camera mounted above the detection area that can adjust the magnification, and a visualization display board electrically connected to the high-definition camera, wherein the visualization display board is a high-definition display screen; similarly, it can enable the inspectors to better detect abnormal capsules and thus pick them out.
[0029] In this embodiment, the detection area includes a white polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) light-transmitting plate 4 and a light source 5 with adjustable brightness disposed under the light-transmitting plate 4. The PTFE light-transmitting plate 4 can directly contact the capsule. The adjustable brightness light source 5 allows the testing personnel to switch the brightness of the light source according to the on-site environment and the shape of the capsule, thereby enabling better display of the capsule.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a viewing window 7 is provided on the side of the material trough 1 opposite to the inspector, and the viewing window 7 is provided with a scale displaying the height of the material to be inspected in the material trough 1. This allows the inspector to promptly determine whether the capsules in the material trough 1 need to be replenished. Preferably, it also includes an automatic feeding device (not shown in the figures) and a first sensing device electrically connected to the automatic feeding device for detecting the height of the material to be inspected in the material trough 1. In one embodiment, it can be configured such that when the first sensing device detects that the height of the capsules in the material trough 1 is less than or equal to 1 / 4, the automatic feeding device starts feeding, and when it detects that the height of the capsules in the material trough 1 is greater than or equal to 2 / 3, feeding stops.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inspection table 3 has a feeding port 8, a feeding track 9 connected to the feeding port 8, and a transfer bucket (not shown in the attached drawing) receiving the material under the feeding track 9 on the side closest to the operator. A metal sensor (not shown in the attached drawing) is installed on the feeding track 9. A three-color indicator light 10 is also included to display the operating status of the inspection table. It consists of three colors: red, yellow, and green, with an external lampshade. Green represents normal, red represents abnormal, and yellow represents caution. It is electrically connected to the metal sensor; if a metallic foreign object is detected in the capsule, the red indicator light on the table will remain lit, indicating that the inspection should be stopped.
[0032] A second sensing device is installed under the testing platform 3 to detect the height of the material inside the transfer barrel, so as to prevent the capsules from overflowing due to the testing personnel not noticing in time. Both the first and second sensing devices are infrared sensors.
[0033] In this embodiment, a transfer cart (not shown in the attached figure) is also included, which supports the transfer barrel under the testing platform 3. The transfer cart facilitates the transfer of the transfer barrel filled with capsules. Preferably, a platform scale is installed on the transfer cart; the platform scale can provide an indication when the transfer barrel is filled to a preset weight. For example, the platform scale can be set to sound an alarm when the weight reaches 20kg. This avoids the need for subsequent manual weighing and repackaging, saving the step of having a dedicated person for additional weighing and repackaging.
