[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] A PCB surface defect detection device includes a frame 1. Two "L"-shaped mounting brackets 2 are installed on the side of the frame 1, and a linear module 6 (the linear module is prior art and will not be described in detail here) is installed above the mounting brackets 2. The linear module 6 drives a vision inspection camera 3 (the vision inspection camera is prior art and will not be described in detail here) installed at the drive end of the linear module 6 to move. It should be noted that one vision inspection camera 3 is used to inspect the front of the PCB board, and the other vision inspection camera 3 is used to inspect the back of the PCB board, thereby improving the inspection effect.
[0028] The frame 1 has two conveyor structures 4 installed at its two ends, and the two conveyor structures 4 are located below the mounting bracket 2. The conveyor structures 4 are used to transport PCB boards. A flipping structure 5 is installed between the two conveyor structures 4. When the PCB board is transported to the flipping structure 5, it can be flipped 180° and transported to the other conveyor structure 4, replacing the traditional manual flipping work, reducing the workload of the staff and easing their labor burden.
[0029] It should be noted that the two conveying structures 4 are completely identical. For ease of description, this application only describes one of the conveying structures 4:
[0030] The conveying structure 4 includes two side plates 401 located within the frame 1, and the two side plates 401 are arranged parallel to each other. Each side plate 401 has a first mounting cylinder 402 fixed at both ends. Each side plate 401 also has several second mounting cylinders 403 equidistantly fixed along its length on its side. These second mounting cylinders 403 are located between the two first mounting cylinders 402 and on the same horizontal line. The two first mounting cylinders 402 have rotating main drive wheels 404, and the multiple second mounting cylinders 403 have rotating auxiliary drive wheels 405 respectively. The two main drive wheels 404 and the multiple auxiliary drive wheels 405... The drive wheel 405 is equipped with a conveyor belt 406, which is used to transport PCB boards. Specifically, several push blocks 4012 are fixed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 406. When the PCB board is transported to the end of the conveyor structure 4, the push blocks 4012 push it to prevent the PCB board from getting stuck at the position of the flipping structure. It should be noted that the push blocks 4012 are made of rubber to prevent the conveyor belt 406 from interfering during use.
[0031] In detail: A non-circular drive hole is provided at the shaft center of the main drive wheel 404. The same first drive shaft 407 is slidably mounted on the two main drive wheels 404 located at the same end. One end of the first drive shaft 407 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the frame 1, and the other end of the first drive shaft 407 is connected to the first motor 408 installed on the outer side wall of the frame 1. The first motor 408 plays a driving role and ensures that the conveyor belt 406 can transport normally.
[0032] It should be noted that the center of both side plates 401 is threaded with the same bidirectional lead screw 409. The bidirectional lead screw 409 allows for adjustment of the spacing between the two conveyor belts 406 according to the size of the PCB board, thereby improving the performance. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 409 pass through the frame 1 and are equipped with rotating handwheels 4010. The rotating handwheels 4010 facilitate the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 409, providing convenience for the operator. Inside the frame 1, a guide rod 4011 is also installed along the width direction. The ends of the two side plates 401 are slidably mounted on the same guide rod 410. The guide rod 410 limits the movement of the side plates 401, preventing them from rotating during use.
[0033] The flipping structure 5 includes rotating disks 501 symmetrically arranged inside the frame 1. It should be noted that: the axis of one rotating disk 501 is connected to a second motor 502 installed on the outer wall of the frame 1. The second motor 502 is a servo motor; the axis of the other rotating disk 501 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. Several parallel flipping rods 503 are fixed between the two rotating disks 501. Two flipping plates 504 are installed on the multiple flipping rods 503, and several clamping components 505 are installed equidistantly along the length direction on the flipping plates 504. The clamping components 505 are used to clamp the PCB board and prevent the PCB board from falling during the flipping process.
[0034] It should be noted that the flip plate 504 is connected to several flip rods 503 by a sliding method, which allows the gap between the two flip plates 504 to be adjusted according to the width of the PCB board, enabling the use of PCB boards of different sizes and improving the usability of the device. A slide cylinder 506 is fixed on the flip plate 504, and the slide cylinder 506 is coaxially arranged with the flip rods 503. A locking cylinder 507 is fixed on the outer surface of the slide cylinder 506, and a fastening bolt 508 is threaded on the locking cylinder 507. Through the cooperation of the fastening bolt 508, the flip plate 504 is fastened, preventing the flip plate 504 from rotating during use.
[0035] In detail: The clamping assembly 505 includes two third mounting cylinders 5051 fixed to the side of the flip plate 504, and the two third mounting cylinders 5051 are located on the same vertical line. Clamping cylinders 5052 are rotatably mounted on the two third mounting cylinders 5051 respectively. It should be noted that the outer surface of the clamping cylinder 5052 is fixed with a rubber sleeve. The rubber sleeve is designed to protect the PCB board and prevent the PCB board from being damaged due to excessive clamping force.
[0036] The second drive shaft 5053 is rotatably mounted inside the third mounting cylinder 5051, and a slot is provided on the outer surface of the second drive shaft 5053 along the axial direction. A pin 5057 is fixed on the outer surface of the second motor 502 along the axial direction. Through the setting of the pin 5057 and the slot, the second drive shaft 5053 can drive the clamping cylinder 5052 to rotate. It should be noted that one end of each of the two second drive shafts 5053 passes through a gear 5054 and is fixed to a gear 5054. The two gears 5054 mesh with each other. A motor 5055 is fixed at the axis of one of the gears 5054. The motor 5055 plays a driving role. The motor 5055 is fixed on the mounting base 5056, and the mounting base 5056 is installed on the outer wall of the gear 5054.
[0037] Before inspecting a PCB board: First, adjust the width of the conveying mechanism 4 and the width of the flipping structure 5 according to the size of the PCB board; so as to be able to adapt to PCB boards of different sizes.
[0038] When adjusting the width of the conveying mechanism 4: the bidirectional lead screw 409 is rotated, and the bidirectional lead screw 409 can drive the two side plates 401 to move in opposite directions. The side plates 401 can drive the conveyor belt 506 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two conveyor belts 506 and adapting to PCB boards of different sizes.
[0039] When adjusting the width of the flipping mechanism 5: first loosen the fastening bolt 508, the slide cylinder 506 can drive several clamping components 505 to move through the flipping plate 504, thereby adjusting the distance between the two flipping plates 504 to accommodate PCBs of different sizes.
[0040] When inspecting a PCB board: First, the PCB board is placed on one of the conveyor structures 4. Two first motors 408 on the conveyor structure 4 drive the first drive shafts 407 to rotate. The first drive shafts 407 drive the main drive wheels 404 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the two main drive wheels 404 and several auxiliary drive wheels 405, the conveyor belts 406 are driven to move. The two conveyor belts 406 move the PCB board. When the PCB board moves directly below the vision inspection camera 3, one side can be inspected. The inspected PCB board continues to be conveyed. When the PCB board reaches the flipping structure 5, several motors 5055 rotate simultaneously. The motors 5055, through the cooperation of two gears 4054, drive the second drive shafts 5053 to rotate. 3 can drive the clamping cylinder 5052 to rotate, and the upper and lower clamping cylinders 5052 can clamp and transport the PCB board. When the PCB board is transported to the center position of the flipping mechanism, the transport of the PCB board is stopped, and then the second motor 502 is turned on. The second motor 502 can drive the flipping rod 503 to flip through the rotating disk 501. The flipping rod 503 can drive the flipping plate 504 to flip 180 degrees, thereby flipping the PCB board. Then, the motor 5055 is turned on again, so that the motor 5055 rotates in the opposite direction and drives several clamping cylinders 5052 to move, thereby transporting the flipped PCB board to another conveying structure 4. The other conveying structure 4 also transports the PCB board in the same way. The other side of the PCB board is inspected by another vision inspection camera 3.
