Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass defect detection, and more specifically, to a glass defect detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass defects include bubbles, scratches, impurities, stress lines, etc. Each defect has different behaviors in terms of light reflection, scattering, or transmission. For example, scratches are more easily visible at specific angles due to light scattering. If a vertical viewing angle is used, there is a possibility of missing detection. Bubbles or impurities, on the other hand, require transmitted light or low-angle side light to highlight their internal structure.

[0003] In addition, for different types of glass, such as float glass, tempered glass, or glass with process defects, such as uneven coating, a combination of multiple angles is required for more accurate detection.

[0004] However, current glass defect detection equipment, especially visual inspection equipment, has a single detection location and cannot perform all-round defect detection.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the current visual inspection equipment to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a glass defect detection device includes a frame 1, a conveyor frame 2 disposed on the frame 1 for conveying glass, and a first detection frame, a second detection frame and a third detection frame arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor frame 2.

[0032] The first detection frame includes a first mounting frame 3 extending along the width direction of the conveyor frame 2 and a plurality of first detection units 6 distributed along the length direction of the first mounting frame 3. The first detection units 6 are inclined relative to the conveying direction of the conveyor frame 2.

[0033] The second detection frame includes a second mounting frame 4 extending along the width direction of the conveyor frame 2, at least one first movable frame slidably disposed along the length direction of the second mounting frame 4, and a second detection unit 7 fixedly disposed on the first movable frame, wherein the second detection unit 7 is inclined relative to the width direction of the conveyor frame 2;

[0034] The third detection frame includes a third mounting frame 5 extending along the width direction of the conveyor frame 2, at least one second movable frame slidably arranged along the length direction of the third mounting frame 5, and a third detection unit 8 fixedly arranged on the second movable frame. The third detection unit 8 is arranged perpendicularly to the plane where the conveyor frame 2 is located. Preferably, the first detection unit 6, the second detection unit 7 and the third detection unit 8 are all vision cameras.

[0035] Detection principle: The glass to be inspected is conveyed by the conveyor frame 2 and passes through the first inspection frame, the second inspection frame, and the third inspection frame in sequence. Since the first inspection frame is equipped with an inclined first inspection unit 6, scratches on the glass can be detected when passing through the first inspection unit 6. The second inspection unit 7 on the second inspection frame is inclined along the width direction, that is, it uses side light detection, so bubbles and impurities in the glass can be detected well. Moreover, during the inspection, the second inspection unit 7 can slide along the width direction of the glass, thus avoiding missed detections. Finally, it passes through the third inspection unit 8, which adopts high-position vertical detection, and can detect stains, stress lines, etc. on the glass surface, thereby realizing the complete detection of common glass defects.

[0036] To handle different types of glass inspection, a fourth inspection frame and a fifth inspection frame are also included. The fourth inspection frame is located between the second and third inspection frames, and the third inspection frame is located between the fourth and fifth inspection frames. Compared with the first inspection frame, the fourth and fifth inspection frames have different tilt angles. Therefore, by using a multi-angle combination inspection method, different types of glass can be handled, and the inspection is more comprehensive.

[0037] Specifically, the fourth detection frame includes a fourth mounting frame 9 extending along the width direction of the conveyor frame 2 and a plurality of fourth detection units 11 distributed along the length direction of the fourth mounting frame 9. The fourth detection units 11 are inclined relative to the conveying direction of the conveyor frame 2 and the inclination direction of the fourth detection units 11 is opposite to the inclination direction of the first detection unit 6.

[0038] Specifically, the fifth detection frame includes a fifth mounting frame 10 extending along the width direction of the conveyor frame 2 and a plurality of fifth detection units 12 distributed along the length direction of the fifth mounting frame 10. The fifth detection units 12 are inclined relative to the conveying direction of the conveyor frame 2 and their inclination direction is the same as that of the fourth detection unit 11. The inclination angle of the fifth detection unit 12 is greater than that of the fourth detection unit 11.

[0039] To facilitate the installation of the first detection unit 6, the second detection unit 7, and the third detection unit 8, the first mounting bracket 3, the fourth mounting bracket 9, and the fifth mounting bracket 10 each include mounting supports located on both sides and a first crossbeam fixedly disposed between the mounting supports on both sides. The first crossbeam has an installation slope, and the first detection unit 6, the fourth detection unit 11, and the fifth detection unit 12 are respectively fixedly disposed on the corresponding installation slope.

[0040] To adjust the height of the first detection unit 6, the second detection unit 7, and the third detection unit 8 for glass products of different thicknesses, lifting plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the first crossbeam. The lifting plates are slidably arranged vertically relative to the mounting bracket, and a locking mechanism is provided between the lifting plates and the mounting bracket to lock them in at least one working position. The specific structure of the locking mechanism is not the design focus of this utility model. Any locking mechanism that can lock two sliding parts in multiple positions can be used. For example, the locking mechanism in this embodiment includes a locking groove opened on the mounting bracket, and a locking bolt is provided on the lifting plate. The height of the lifting plate is adjusted by locking the lifting plate in different positions of the locking groove by the locking bolt.

[0041] Preferably, the second detection frame includes support frames located on both sides and a second crossbeam fixedly disposed between the two support frames. The first movable frame is slidably disposed along the length direction of the second crossbeam. A first driving mechanism for driving the first movable frame to slide is disposed between the first movable frame and the second crossbeam. The first driving mechanism can drive the first movable frame to reciprocate linearly along the second crossbeam. Its specific structure is not a design point. For example, in this embodiment, it includes a lead screw rotatably disposed on the second crossbeam. A screw sleeve that cooperates with the lead screw is fixedly disposed on the first movable frame. The lead screw is driven to rotate forward or backward by a motor, thereby realizing the reciprocating linear motion of the screw sleeve along the lead screw, thereby driving the first movable frame to move.

[0042] Preferably, the third detection frame includes fixed frames on both sides and a third crossbeam fixedly disposed between the two fixed frames. The second movable frame is slidably disposed along the length direction of the third crossbeam. A second driving mechanism for driving the second movable frame to slide is disposed between the second movable frame and the third crossbeam. Regarding the second driving mechanism, its specific structure is not a design focus. Its specific structure can be similar to the first driving mechanism. Alternatively, a rack can be fixedly disposed on the third crossbeam, and a gear that meshes with the rack can be rotatably disposed on the second movable frame. The gear is driven to rotate forward or backward by a motor, thereby realizing the second movable frame to perform linear reciprocating motion along the third crossbeam.

[0043] Finally, regarding the specific structure of the conveyor frame 2, the conveyor frame 2 includes several rotating rollers rotatably mounted on the frame 1. A first helical gear is fixedly mounted at the end of each rotating roller. A transmission rod is also rotatably mounted on the frame 1. A second helical gear corresponding to and cooperating with the first helical gear is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod. The transmission rod is driven to rotate by a drive motor. The glass to be conveyed is placed directly on the rotating rollers. The drive motor drives the transmission rod to rotate, thereby driving each second helical gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first helical gear to rotate, thus achieving synchronous rotation of each rotating roller. Of course, in addition to using helical gear transmission, chain or belt transmission can also be used to drive each rotating roller to rotate synchronously.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
