Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual inspection technology, and in particular to a surface inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing surface inspection devices include a light source and a beam splitter. The light emitted from the light source can pass through the beam splitter and be directed onto the workpiece, thereby illuminating the workpiece surface. The image of the workpiece surface is reflected by the beam splitter and directed onto the camera, enabling the camera to take a picture and inspect the workpiece. A light-absorbing plate is generally set on the side of the beam splitter away from the camera, and the surface of the light-absorbing plate is usually perpendicular to the center line of the camera lens, thereby reducing the influence of stray light on the image and making the camera inspection more accurate.
[0003] However, existing light-absorbing plates cannot absorb 100% of the light, and a small portion of stray light will be reflected and sent to the camera through the beam splitter, affecting the camera's detection accuracy and thus reducing the detection accuracy of the surface detection device.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a surface inspection device that can reduce stray light reflected by the light-absorbing plate and directed towards the beam splitter, which is beneficial to improving the inspection accuracy.
[0005] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a surface inspection device that can reduce stray light reflected from the light-absorbing plate and directed towards the beam splitter, thereby improving inspection accuracy.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A surface inspection device includes a housing, a first light-emitting component, and a first beam splitter, wherein the housing forms a light-absorbing hole and an inspection hole through which a workpiece can enter;
[0009] Both the first light-emitting component and the first beam splitter are installed in the housing; the light emitted by the first light-emitting component passes through the first beam splitter and is directed toward the detection aperture; the light-absorbing aperture has an inclined surface facing the first beam splitter, and the light emitted by the first light-emitting component is reflected by the first beam splitter and directed toward the inclined surface;
[0010] A light-absorbing plate is attached to the inclined surface, and the light-absorbing plate extends along the inclined surface into the light-absorbing hole and closes the light-absorbing hole.
[0011] Optionally, the surface inspection device may also include a camera;
[0012] The camera is mounted on the side of the first beam splitter away from the inclined surface, and the image of the workpiece can be reflected by the first beam splitter and projected onto the camera.
[0013] Optionally, the detection hole is a square hole;
[0014] Each of the square holes has a triangular reflector installed on its inner wall to reflect the image of the outer side of the workpiece to the first beam splitter.
[0015] Optionally, a first partition is formed between the light-absorbing hole and the detection hole;
[0016] The first partition plate has an inclined end face near the end of the first beam splitter, and the inclined end face faces away from the first beam splitter.
[0017] Optionally, the surface detection device further includes a first diffuser plate, which is installed on the light-emitting side of the first light-emitting component and located between the first light-emitting component and the first beam splitter.
[0018] Optionally, the surface detection device further includes a second light-emitting component and a second beam splitter;
[0019] The second beam splitter is located on the side of the first beam splitter away from the inclined surface, and the first beam splitter and the second beam splitter are parallel to each other;
[0020] The light emitted by the second light-emitting component is reflected sequentially by the second beam splitter and the first beam splitter and then directed toward the detection aperture.
[0021] Optionally, the surface inspection device further includes a black light-absorbing serrated layer, which faces the second beam splitter.
[0022] Optionally, the surface inspection device further includes a filter, which is installed between the second light-emitting component and the second beam splitter.

[0025] The third plate closes the light-absorbing hole.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] The surface detection device provided by this utility model has an inclined surface on one side of the bottom of the first beam splitter, and a light-absorbing plate is attached to the inclined surface. This allows a small amount of stray light reflected by the light-absorbing plate to be directed toward the light-absorbing hole. The stray light is absorbed by the extension of the light-absorbing plate that blocks the light-absorbing hole, which further reduces the stray light reflected toward the first beam splitter. This is equivalent to reducing the stray light entering the camera, which helps to improve the detection accuracy of the surface detection device.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a surface detection device, including a housing 1, a first light-emitting component 2, and a first beam splitter 3.
[0044] The housing 1 provides support and forms a light-absorbing hole 11 and a detection hole 12 for the workpiece to enter. The workpiece can be inserted into the detection hole 12, the first light-emitting component 2 emits light and illuminates the workpiece, and then the camera can take pictures of the workpiece through the first beam splitter 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, both the first light-emitting component 2 and the first beam splitter 3 are installed in the housing 1. The light emitted from the first light-emitting component 2 passes through the first beam splitter 3 and is directed towards the detection hole 12. The light-absorbing hole 11 has an inclined surface 111 facing the first beam splitter 3. The light emitted from the first light-emitting component 2 is reflected by the first beam splitter 3 and directed towards the inclined surface 111. A light-absorbing plate 4 is attached to the inclined surface 111, and one end of the light-absorbing plate 4 extends along the inclined surface 111 into the light-absorbing hole 11 and closes the light-absorbing hole 11. For ease of understanding, after the first light-emitting component 2 is split by the first beam splitter 3, it forms a first light beam directed towards the workpiece and a second light beam directed towards the inclined surface 111. The first light beam illuminates the workpiece, while the light-absorbing plate 4 absorbs the second light beam, reducing stray light directed towards the first beam splitter 3.
[0046] In this embodiment, a light-absorbing plate 4 is attached to the inclined surface 111. The light-absorbing plate 4 is installed at an angle and extends to block the light-absorbing hole 11. This allows as much of the stray light reflected by the light-absorbing plate 4 as possible to be directed toward the light-absorbing hole 11 and absorbed by the extended portion of the light-absorbing plate 4 that blocks the light-absorbing hole 11. This reduces the stray light that is reflected and directed toward the first beam splitter 3, which is equivalent to reducing the stray light entering the camera 5. This helps to improve the detection accuracy of the surface detection device.
[0047] It should be further explained that the light-absorbing aperture 11 can be set at an angle, so that the aperture wall of the light-absorbing aperture 11 directly forms an inclined surface 111. Alternatively, the light-absorbing aperture 11 can be parallel to the detection aperture 12, and set as follows: Figure 1 The inclined surface 111 is bent relative to the center line of the light-absorbing aperture 11.
[0048] Optionally, the surface inspection device also includes a camera 5; the camera 5 is mounted on the side of the first beam splitter 3 away from the inclined surface 111, and the image of the workpiece can be reflected by the first beam splitter 3 and projected onto the camera 5. Figure 1 As shown, camera 5 is located directly above the first beam splitter 3, and the first beam splitter 3 is located directly above the inclined plane 111.
[0049] Optionally, the detection hole 12 is a square hole; each inner wall of the square hole is equipped with a triangular reflector 6 for reflecting the image of the outer side of the workpiece to the first beam splitter 3. In this case, four triangular reflectors 6 are provided, such as... Figure 2 As shown, four triangular reflectors 6 surround the workpiece, reflecting the entire outer periphery of the workpiece onto the first beam splitter 3, thereby enabling the camera 5 to detect the entire outer periphery of the workpiece.
[0050] Optionally, a first partition 13 is formed between the light-absorbing aperture 11 and the detection aperture 12; the end of the first partition 13 near the first beam splitter 3 has an inclined end face 131, with the inclined end face 111 facing away from the first beam splitter 3. The inclined structure of the inclined end face 131 can prevent the first partition 13 from reflecting light onto the first beam splitter 3, further reducing stray light incident on the first beam splitter 3.
[0051] Optionally, the surface inspection device further includes a first diffuser plate 7, which is installed on the light-emitting side of the first light-emitting component 2 and located between the first light-emitting component 2 and the first beam splitter 3. The first diffuser plate 7 can achieve the effect of uniform light emission, making the workpiece more uniformly illuminated.
[0052] Optionally, the surface inspection device further includes a second light-emitting component 81 and a second beam splitter 82; the second beam splitter 82 is located on the side of the first beam splitter 3 away from the inclined surface 111, and the first beam splitter 3 and the second beam splitter 82 are parallel to each other; the light emitted from the second light-emitting component 81 is reflected sequentially by the second beam splitter 82 and the first beam splitter 3 and then directed towards the inspection hole 12. The second light-emitting component 81 can provide supplementary lighting to the workpiece. For example, the second light-emitting component 81 can emit light of a different color than the first light-emitting component 2, thereby facilitating the camera 5 to detect specific types of defects and improving inspection accuracy.
[0053] Optionally, the surface inspection device also includes a black light-absorbing serrated layer 83, which faces the second beam splitter 82. The black light-absorbing serrated layer 83 absorbs light passing through the second beam splitter 82, reducing stray light reflected towards the camera 5. The serrated structure makes the light absorption rate of the black light-absorbing serrated layer 83 higher.
[0054] Optionally, the surface inspection device further includes a filter 84, which is installed between the second light-emitting assembly 81 and the second beam splitter 82. The filter 84 is used to ensure that the light incident on the second beam splitter 82 is of a specific color, thereby meeting the inspection requirements. Preferably, the filter 84 is detachable, allowing for the replacement of filters 84 of different colors.
[0055] Optionally, the housing 1 has a photographing hole 14 facing the first beam splitter 3, and the camera 5, the detection hole 12 and the first beam splitter 3 are arranged in a sequential and spaced order from top to bottom.
[0056] Optionally, the light-absorbing plate 4 includes a first plate 411 mounted on the inclined surface 111, a second plate 412 connected to the first plate 411, and a third plate 413 connected to the second plate 412; the third plate 413 closes the light-absorbing hole 11. The first plate 411 and the second plate 412 are inclined relative to each other, and the second plate 412 and the third plate 413 are perpendicular to each other.
[0057] Optionally, the angle between the inclined surface 111 and one side surface of the first beam splitter 3 is an acute angle.
[0058] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
