Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual reverse side detection technology, specifically a machine vision reverse side detection device. Background Technology

[0002] A machine vision reverse side inspection device is a device that uses machine vision technology to inspect the reverse side of an object. It is typically based on optical imaging principles, using a camera to capture image information of the object's reverse side, and then transmitting the image to a computer or a specialized image processing system. The system uses image processing algorithms to analyze, process, and extract features from the image, comparing it with preset standard models or parameters to determine whether there are defects, flaws, dimensional deviations, or other problems on the object's reverse side.

[0003] Based on the authorized patent "CN206725421U" machine vision reverse inspection device, it includes an inspection box, an inspection sample located directly above the inspection box, and a dome light source illuminating the inspection sample from below. A reflector is positioned at a 45° angle inside the inspection box to image the inspection sample. A camera is positioned on the side of the inspection box and aligned with the reflector. An optical glass for light transmission is provided on the top cover of the inspection box. A first air pipe is located above and to the side of the optical glass to blow away dust from it. A glass protective cover is located at the light source opening of the dome light source to isolate dust. A second air pipe is located on the side of the glass protective cover to remove dust from it. This invention removes dust from the optical glass and paper fibers from the product surface through the first air pipe, and removes dust from the top surface of the glass protective cover through the second air pipe, thereby completely eliminating dust that affects inspection and ensuring the normal operation of the inspection process.

[0004] In actual production, the materials and shapes of objects vary greatly, and their placement also differs. For example, in the food packaging industry, packaging containers of different shapes and materials need to be inspected for the sealing of their reverse sides and the correctness of label affixing; in the pharmaceutical manufacturing field, the clarity and integrity of information on the reverse side of medicine bottles, boxes, and other packaging also face many challenges.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] (1) This machine vision reverse side inspection device uses a CCD camera in the inspection mechanism, which has high image resolution and sensitivity, and can capture subtle features and defects on the reverse side of objects. The computer is electrically connected to the CCD camera through a connecting cable, and uses advanced image processing algorithms to analyze the acquired images.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 A machine vision reverse inspection device includes a worktable 1, a conveyor belt 2 inside the worktable 1, a gantry frame 3 fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1, an inspection mechanism 4 installed on the top of the worktable 1, and an adjustment mechanism 5 on the outside of the inspection mechanism 4.

[0029] The testing unit 4 includes a computer 41, a connecting cable 42 is fixedly connected to the outside of the computer 41, a CCD camera 43 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting cable 42, and a light source 44 is provided on the outside of the CCD camera 43.

[0030] The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a rotating box 51, a connecting plate 52 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating box 51, a rotating rod 53 rotatably connected between the connecting plates 52, and a connecting rod 54 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 53.

[0031] Furthermore: the bottom of the connecting rod 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the light source body 44, the inside of the operating box 51 is equipped with a bidirectional motor 55, the output end of the bidirectional motor 55 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 56, the outer side of the rotating shaft 56 is fixedly connected to a first gear 57, and the outer side of the first gear 57 is meshed with a second gear 58 and a third gear 59.

[0032] It should be noted that: the operating box 51 is slidably connected to the bottom of the gantry 3; the computer 41 is electrically connected to the CCD camera 43 through the connecting cable 42; the light source 44 is movably connected to the outside of the CCD camera 43 through the cooperation of the rotating rod 53 and the connecting rod 54; the light source 44 is symmetrically distributed on the outside of the CCD camera 43; the first gear 57 is symmetrically distributed on the outside of the operating box 51; the second gear 58 and the third gear 59 are respectively connected to the outside of the rotating rod 53, and the two are located at opposite ends.

[0033] Specifically: The reverse image information is acquired by the CCD camera 43 and then transmitted to the computer 41 via the connecting cable 42. The workpiece is illuminated by the light source 44. The bidirectional motor 55 is started, which causes the rotating shaft 56 to drive the first gear 57 to rotate, and then the first gear 57 drives the second gear 58 and the third gear 59 to rotate.

[0034] As a further improvement of this utility model, a moving mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the gantry frame 3. The moving mechanism 6 includes a moving groove 61. A slider 62 is provided on the top of the gantry frame 3. A sliding rod 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 62. An L-shaped plate 64 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 62. A threaded tube 65 is fixedly connected to the outside of the L-shaped plate 64.

The L-shaped plates 64 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the slider 62, and the positioning cover 67 is movably connected to the outside of the gantry 3 through the screw 66.

[0036] It should be noted that: by moving the slider 62 on the top of the gantry 3, the slide rod 63 drives the operating box 51 to move. When the screw 66 drives the positioning cover 67 to move to the outside of the gantry 3, the slider 62 can be fixed on the top of the gantry 3.

[0037] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Working principle: The conveyor belt 2 inside the workbench 1 starts to operate, transporting the object to be inspected to the inspection area below the gantry 3. The stable operation of the conveyor belt 2 ensures that the object can continuously and orderly enter the inspection range. The computer 41 in the inspection mechanism 4 is electrically connected to the CCD camera 43 through the connecting cable 42. When the object arrives at the inspection area, the CCD camera 43, with the illumination assistance of the light source 44, acquires an image of the reverse side of the object. The light source 44 provides stable and uniform illumination, ensuring that the CCD camera 43 can clearly capture the image details of the reverse side of the object. The acquired image data is transmitted to the computer 41 through the connecting cable 42. The computer 41 uses built-in image processing algorithms and programs to analyze and process the image to identify whether there are defects, flaws, dimensional deviations, or other problems on the reverse side of the object.

[0039] The operating box 51 in the adjustment mechanism 5 is equipped with a bidirectional motor 55. When the angle of the light source body 44 needs to be adjusted, the bidirectional motor 55 starts, and its output end drives the rotating shaft 56 to rotate. The first gear 57 on the outside of the rotating shaft 56 rotates accordingly. Since the first gear 57 is meshed with the second gear 58 and the third gear 59, the rotation of the first gear 57 will drive the second gear 58 and the third gear 59 to rotate. The second gear 58 and the third gear 59 are respectively connected to the outside of the rotating rod 53 and are located at opposite ends. Therefore, the two rotating rods 53 will rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the second gear 58 and the third gear 59. The connecting rod 54 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 53 will move with the rotation of the rotating rod 53. Since the bottom of the connecting rod 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the light source body 44, the light source body 44 will rotate around the rotating rod 53 under the cooperation of the rotating rod 53 and the connecting rod 54, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the light source body 44 to adapt to different detection needs.

[0040] In the moving mechanism 6, by driving the screw 66 to rotate, the threaded engagement between the screw 66 and the threaded tube 65 causes the threaded tube 65 to move linearly along the screw 66. The threaded tube 65 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 64, which is in turn fixedly connected to the slider 62. Therefore, the movement of the threaded tube 65 causes the slider 62 to slide on the moving groove 61 at the top of the gantry 3. The slide rod 63 at the bottom of the slider 62 moves together with the slider 62. The bottom of the slide rod 63 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating box 51, which is also associated with the detection mechanism 4. Therefore, the detection mechanism 4 will change its position as the slide rod 63 and the rotating box 51 move, thereby realizing the detection of objects at different positions.

[0041] Through the coordinated work of the above components, this machine vision reverse side detection device can efficiently and accurately detect the reverse side of an object, and flexibly adjust the light source angle and detection position according to actual needs.
