The slewing bearing 23 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the side end of the tooling bracket 21.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The tooling base 22 includes a tooling support 222 and a tooling base 223. The tooling support 222 is rotatably connected to the tooling bracket 21, and the tooling base 223 is detachably connected and fixed to the tooling support 222. The tooling groove 221 is formed on the tooling base 223. Preferably, the tooling base 22 also includes at least two positioning rods 224 provided on the top of the tooling support 222. The positioning rods 224 can also be positioning pins. If the positioning rods 224 are positioning pins, the top of the tooling support 222 is provided with corresponding pin holes.

[0034] The tooling slot 221 is located in the center of the tooling base 223. The tooling slot 221 can also be made into a hole. Then, four clamping blocks are installed and fixed on the top of the tooling base 22. The four clamping blocks are distributed at the four corners of the tooling slot 221, and the four tooling pins are used to fix the four corners of the electronic product 100.

[0035] The fixture base 223 has mounting holes for use with the positioning rod 224. In use, the mounting holes are aligned with the positioning rod 224, and the positioning rod 224 is inserted into the mounting holes. Several fixture bases 223 can be provided.

The side slider 43 is mounted and fixed on the bottom of the side sliding seat 44, and the side slider 43 is slidably connected to the side guide rail 42. The side sliding seat 44 can be adjusted in position on the side base 41 by the side slider 43 and the side guide rail 42. A cable chain can also be connected between the side sliding seat 44 and the frame 1. The side camera 4 can be directly or indirectly mounted and fixed on the side sliding seat 44 so that the side sliding seat 44 can adjust the position of the side camera 4 relative to the electronic product 100, thereby better taking pictures and inspecting the side surface of the electronic product 100 in the tooling slot 221.

[0040] In addition, the frame 1 is also provided with a positioning mechanism for fixing the lateral position of the side sliding seat 44 on the side base 41.

In use, by aligning the second positioning hole 441 with different first positioning holes 411 and inserting the side positioning pin 45 into the second positioning hole 441 and the first positioning hole 411, the sliding positioning seat is positioned on the side base 41, thereby adjusting the position of the side camera 4 relative to the electronic product 100 in the lateral direction.

[0041] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3The side sliding seat 44 is provided with a longitudinal adjustment mechanism for adjusting the longitudinal position of the side camera 4 in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal adjustment mechanism includes a first slide rail 46, a first slider 47, a first base 48, and a side power mechanism.

[0042] The first slide rail 46 is mounted and fixed on the side sliding seat 44 in the longitudinal direction. The first slider 47 is mounted and fixed on the bottom of the first base 48 and is slidably connected to the first base 48. The first base 48 is adjusted in longitudinal position on the side sliding seat 44 by the first slider 47 and the first slide rail 46. A drag chain can also be connected between the first base 48 and the side sliding seat 44. The output end of the side power mechanism is fixedly connected to the first base 48. The side camera 4 is mounted and fixed on the first base 48, and the side power mechanism drives the first base 48 to move on the side sliding seat 44.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The side-end power mechanism includes a side-end power component 491, a driving pulley 492, a driven pulley 493, and a transmission belt 494. The side-end power component 491 is mounted and fixed on the side-end sliding seat 44. The side-end power component 491 can be a servo motor alone or a combination of a servo motor and a servo reducer. The driving pulley 492 is mounted and fixed on the output end of the side-end power component 491. The driven pulley 493 is rotatably connected to the side-end sliding seat 44. The transmission belt 494 is wound around the driving pulley 492 and the driven pulley 493, and is fixedly connected to the first base 48. The side-end power unit 491 drives the transmission belt 494 to rotate through the driving pulley 492 and the driven pulley 493. The transmission belt 494 drives the first base 48 to move back and forth in the longitudinal direction on the side-end sliding seat 44, thereby adjusting the longitudinal position of the side-end camera 4 in the longitudinal direction so that the side-end camera 4 can better photograph and inspect the electronic product 100 in the tooling slot 221.

[0044] In order to enable the side camera 4 to take clearer pictures of the side surface of the electronic product 100, a side lamp 40 can be installed on the first base 48 or the frame 1. The illumination position of the side lamp 40 is directly facing the side surface of the electronic product 100, so that the side camera 4 can better take pictures of the side surface of the electronic product 100.

[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 To prevent the side sliding seat 44 from detaching when sliding on the side guide rail 42, two side limiting blocks 51 are installed and fixed on the side guide rail 42. The two side limiting blocks 51 are located at both ends of the side guide rail 42, and the side slider 43 is located between the two side limiting blocks 51 so that the two side limiting blocks 51 can limit the side slider 43.

[0046] Accordingly, in order to prevent the first slider 47 from detaching when sliding on the first slide rail 46, two first limiting blocks 52 are installed and fixed on the first slide rail 46. The two first limiting blocks 52 are located at both ends of the first slide rail 46, and the first slider 47 is located between the two first limiting blocks 52, so that the two first limiting blocks 52 can limit the first slider 47.

[0047] In use, the electronic product 100 is placed in the tooling slot 221, and then the tooling power unit 31 is started. The tooling power unit 31 drives the tooling seat 22 to rotate on the tooling bracket 21 through the gear 32 and the slewing bearing 23. The tooling seat 22 drives the electronic product 100 in the tooling slot 221 to rotate. At this time, the side camera 4 takes pictures of the side end face of the electronic product 100 for inspection until all the side end faces of the electronic product 100 have been photographed and inspected.

[0048] When it is necessary to inspect the side end face of different electronic products 100, simply replace the different tooling base 223, and then place the corresponding electronic product 100 into the tooling slot 221 on the tooling base 223.

[0049] The side end face inspection device of electronic product 100 can automatically inspect the side end face of electronic product 100, replacing the traditional manual inspection method of side end face of electronic product 100. It greatly improves the inspection speed and efficiency of side end face of electronic product 100, and also improves the accuracy of side end face inspection of electronic product 100.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
