Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of printing technology, and more particularly to a defect detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Packaging boxes are essential for packaging all kinds of products, making them indispensable consumables. The outer surface of packaging boxes is often printed with various texts, letters, and patterns to identify product information, serve as warnings, and allow businesses to use these markings for advertising, increasing customer awareness of their products.
[0003] After the printed packaging box cardboard is cut, the printing effect needs to be checked to see if there are any missing areas, whether the printed markings are clear, and whether there are any defects such as ghosting.
[0004] Existing testing equipment is not convenient for online processing when detecting defects in printed packaging paperboard. There are generally two processing methods: one is to mark the defects and then sort them into qualified and unqualified products; the other is to stop the machine on-site and remove the unqualified products with defects. Both of these processing methods are cumbersome and affect production efficiency.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application discloses a defect detection device. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this application discloses a defect detection device.

[0011] More preferably, the defective product recycling mechanism includes a servo linear module, a collection box, and a first counter. The servo linear module is mounted on the machine platform below the second belt conveyor along the second direction. The collection box is connected to the servo linear module.

[0023] Example
[0024] To address the problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency in existing technologies for detecting printing defects on packaging cardboard, this paper refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application discloses a defect detection device, including a machine base 10, a first conveyor belt 20, a second conveyor belt 30, a third conveyor belt 40, a visual inspection mechanism 60, a defective product collection mechanism 70, and a qualified product collection mechanism 80. The first conveyor belt 20 and the second conveyor belt 30 are respectively arranged on both sides above the machine base 10 along a first direction. One end of the third conveyor belt 40 is rotatably connected to the conveying end of the first conveyor belt 20, and the other end is inclinedly provided with lifting drive mechanisms 50 on both sides below, and both lifting drive mechanisms 50 are hinged to the second conveyor belt 30 and the third conveyor belt 40. The visual inspection mechanism 60 is mounted above the conveying end of the first conveyor belt 20 for detecting defects on the product surface. The defective product collection mechanism 70 is located below the second conveyor belt 30 for receiving defective products unloaded from the third conveyor belt 40. The qualified product collection mechanism is located at the conveying end of the second conveyor belt 30 for receiving qualified products unloaded from the second conveyor belt 30.
[0025] Based on the above structure, the general operating principle of this application will be briefly explained below:
[0026] The defect detection device of this application is placed in the output section of the slitting equipment. The packaging cardboard cut by the slitting equipment falls into the first conveyor belt 20. Under the conveying of the first conveyor belt 20, the packaging cardboard is visually inspected by the vision inspection mechanism 60 when it passes through the vision inspection mechanism 60 to determine whether there are missing printing areas, whether the printed markings are clear, and whether there are defects such as ghosting in the printing. Based on the inspection results of the vision inspection mechanism 60, if the packaging cardboard fails the inspection, when the packaging cardboard is sent from the first conveyor belt 20 to the second conveyor belt 30, the two lifting drive mechanisms 50 will drive one side of the third conveyor belt 40 to descend and tilt. After that, the third conveyor belt 40 will convey the packaging cardboard to the defective product recycling mechanism 70 for recycling. If the packaging cardboard passes the inspection, when the packaging cardboard is sent from the first conveyor belt 20 to the second conveyor belt 30, the two lifting drive mechanisms 50 will not operate, and the third conveyor belt 40 will send the packaging cardboard to the second conveyor belt 30. Finally, the second conveyor belt 30 will send the packaging cardboard to the qualified product recycling mechanism 80 for stacking.
[0027] In addition to the above structure, in order to achieve precise positioning of the slit packaging cardboard and enable the vision inspection mechanism 60 to accurately detect defects in the printed parts, this application provides a first gantry 90 above the first conveyor belt 20 along the second direction. A bidirectional drive module 100 is provided below the crossbeam of the first gantry 90. Two baffles 110 arranged in a figure-eight shape are provided on the two drive parts of the bidirectional drive module 100, and the two baffles 110 are in contact with the first conveyor belt 20. Before use, according to the width of the packaging cardboard, the bidirectional drive module 100 drives the two baffles 110 to move closer or further apart to adjust the spacing until the corresponding width requirement of the packaging cardboard is met. Furthermore, by arranging the two baffles 110 in a figure-eight shape, the slit packaging cardboard can be quickly fed in.
[0028] It should be noted that the bidirectional drive module 100 can be either a bidirectional drive cylinder or a bidirectional servo screw module in actual use.
[0029] For example, the lifting drive mechanism 50 of this application is a linear cylinder, or other types of lifting drive mechanisms 50 may be used in this technical field, such as electric cylinders or hydraulic cylinders.
[0030] In one specific embodiment, the visual inspection mechanism 60 of this application includes a second gantry 61, a visual inspection camera 62, and a light box 63. The second gantry 61 is mounted above the first conveyor belt 20 along a second direction near the conveyor end of the first conveyor belt 20. The visual inspection camera 62 is located at the bottom of the crossbeam of the second gantry 61. The light box 63 is connected between the two legs of the second gantry 61 below the visual inspection camera 62. When the first conveyor belt 20 drives the packaging cardboard to the area below the light box 63, the light emitted by the light box 63 will illuminate the packaging cardboard. In this case, the visual inspection camera 62 will take pictures of the printed parts of the packaging cardboard through the light box 63 and send them to an external image processing system to analyze whether there are any defects in the printed parts.
[0031] In one specific implementation, the non-conforming product recycling mechanism 70 of this application includes a servo linear module 71, a collection box 72, and a first counter 74. The servo linear module 71 is arranged on the machine base 10 below the second conveyor belt 30 along the second direction. The collection box 72 is connected to the servo linear module 71. A vertical plate 73 is provided on one side of the collection box 72. The first counter 74 is installed inside the vertical plate 73. In actual use, the servo linear module 71 sends the empty collection box 72 into the area below the second conveyor belt 30, corresponding to the angle of the third conveyor belt 40 in its inclined state. When the second conveyor belt 30 unloads the packaging cardboard that has been detected as non-conforming, the first counter 74 counts it and then it falls into the collection box 72. When the number of non-conforming cardboard in the collection box 72 reaches a set value, the servo linear module 71 will drive the collection box 72 to move out of the area below the second conveyor belt 30. At this time, the operator can take out the non-conforming packaging cardboard.
[0032] In one specific implementation, the qualified recycling mechanism of this application includes a fourth belt conveyor 81, an L-shaped stop 82, and a second counter 83. The fourth belt conveyor 81 is arranged on the machine platform 10 along the second direction at the conveying end of the second belt conveyor 30. The L-shaped stop 82 is arranged above the conveying start of the fourth belt conveyor 81 facing the second belt conveyor 30. The second counter 83 is arranged above the inner side of any one side of the L-shaped stop 82.
[0033] Furthermore, the height of the fourth conveyor belt is lower than that of the second conveyor belt 30, while the height of the L-shaped stop 82 is higher than that of the second conveyor belt 30. When the second conveyor belt 30 unloads the packaging cardboard that has passed the inspection, the packaging cardboard will fall onto the fourth conveyor belt 81. During this process, the L-shaped stop 82 will block it, and the second counter 83 will count the falling qualified packaging cardboard. When the number counted by the second counter 83 reaches the set value, the fourth conveyor belt will send out the stacked packaging cardboard. At this time, the operator will take away the stacked qualified packaging cardboard.
