The industrial camera is mounted and fixed with a bracket and can replace manual labor to inspect barcode characters, cracks, packaging, surface coating integrity, dents, etc. Using a vision inspection system can effectively improve the inspection speed and accuracy of the production line, greatly increase output and quality, reduce labor costs, and prevent misjudgments caused by human eye fatigue.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, traditional industrial camera brackets mostly adopt fixed structures or simple mechanical adjustments, which cannot meet the multi-angle detection needs of complex workpieces, such as three-dimensional contour scanning of curved parts or dynamic tracking of high-speed moving objects, resulting in detection blind spots and image distortion problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that traditional industrial camera brackets, which mostly adopt fixed structures or simple mechanical adjustments, cannot meet the multi-angle inspection needs of complex workpieces, such as three-dimensional contour scanning of curved parts or dynamic tracking of high-speed moving objects, resulting in blind spots and image distortion. Therefore, a multi-angle industrial camera bracket for a vision inspection system is proposed.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-angle industrial camera bracket for a vision inspection system, including a fixed frame 1, an installation frame 3 installed inside the fixed frame 1, an electric cylinder 4 provided on one side of the installation frame 3, the electric cylinder 4 being connected to the installation frame 3 by transmission, a rotary mechanism 6 installed on the inner side of the installation frame 3, and an industrial camera body 5 installed at the output end of the rotary mechanism 6. The fixed frame 1 includes an outer frame plate 11, a guide rail 12, a slider 13, and a crossbar 14. The electric cylinder 4 is installed on the top surface of the crossbar 14. The guide rail 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer frame plate 11. Slider 2 31 is movably connected to both outer walls of the installation frame 3. Slider 2 31 is movably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 12. A limiting groove plate 32 is fixedly connected to the back of slider 2 31. Baffles 33 are fixedly connected to both ends of the limiting groove plate 32. A connector 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove plate 32. A traction block 41 is rotatably connected to one end of the connector 42. The traction block 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 4.

[0022] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. By controlling the electric cylinder 4 to push the traction block 41, the connector 42 slides within the limiting groove plate 32, cooperating with the limiting block of the baffle 33, so that the entire mounting frame 3 slides along the guide rail 12, thereby controlling the front and rear deflection angle adjustment of the industrial camera body 5. At the same time, in conjunction with the rotation mechanism 6, the industrial camera body 5 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the industrial camera body 5 to deflect left and right, realizing multi-angle adjustment control, ensuring that all areas of the workpiece surface can be captured by the camera, avoiding the blind spot problem of traditional single-view detection. The present invention is installed and fixed by the base plate 22, and the industrial camera body 5 installed in the fixing frame 1 is used for visual inspection.

[0023] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, slider 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer frame plate 11. A support plate 2 is provided on one side of slider 13. A guide rail 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 2. A base plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 2. Slider 13 is movably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 21. An adjusting bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer frame plate 11. The rotary mechanism 6 includes a rotary reducer 61, a servo motor 62, and a rotary disk 63. The rotary reducer 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting bracket 3. The servo motor 62 is installed at the input end of the rotary reducer 61. The rotary disk 63 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary reducer 61. A deflection bracket 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotary disk 63. The industrial camera body 5 is fixedly installed at the other end of the deflection bracket 51.

[0024] The overall effect of this embodiment is that by sliding the slider 13 outside the guide rail 21, the user can easily control the locking or unlocking of the slider 13 and the guide rail 21 by rotating the adjusting bolt 15, thereby adjusting the height of the fixing frame 1 on the support plate 2, adjusting the illumination distance between the industrial camera body 5 and the workpiece, and driving the rotary table 63 to rotate by the servo motor 62 to achieve rotation adjustment control of the industrial camera body 5 and the deflection bracket 51.

[0025] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: During use, the user installs and fixes the device using the base plate 22. The industrial camera body 5 installed within the mounting frame 1 performs visual inspection. By controlling the electric cylinder 4, the traction block 41 is pushed, causing the connector 42 to slide within the limiting groove plate 32, cooperating with the limiting and blocking of the baffle 33. This allows the mounting frame 3 to slide along the guide rail 12, thereby controlling the forward and backward deflection angle adjustment of the industrial camera body 5. Simultaneously, the servo motor 62 drives the rotary table 63 to rotate, thereby causing the industrial camera body 5 to deflect left and right, achieving multi-angle adjustment control. The sliding block 13 is located outside the guide rail 21, allowing the user to control the locking or unlocking of the slider 13 and guide rail 21 by rotating the adjusting bolt 15. This adjusts the height of the mounting frame 1 on the support plate 2, and thus the irradiation distance between the industrial camera body 5 and the workpiece.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
