[0044] Example 1

[0045] In view of the aforementioned defects in existing ring light sources, the applicant, based on years of rich practical experience and professional knowledge in the design and manufacture of such products, and in conjunction with the application of theoretical principles, actively conducted research and innovation in order to create a solution to the defects in the existing technology and make the AO I light source more practical. After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value was finally created.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an AO I light source, including a circuit board 1, an LED bead 2, and an annular body 3 with a detection through hole 31. The annular body 3 has a top surface for positioning and supporting the circuit board 1, and an annular protrusion 32 is formed around the detection through hole 31 at the bottom of the annular body 3. The annular protrusion 32 has an inclined annular surface 301 for positioning the LED bead 2. A positioning insertion hole 302 is formed on the annular protrusion 32, through which the pin of the LED bead 2 can pass to connect to the circuit board 1, and one end of the positioning insertion hole 302 is located on the inclined annular surface 301.

[0047] In this embodiment, the AO I light source assembly steps are as follows:

[0048] ① Install the circuit board 1 on top of the annular body 3;

[0049] ② Make the pins of LED 2 pass through the positioning hole 302 through the ring body 3 to connect the circuit board 1, and make the LED 2 stick to the inclined ring surface 301.

[0050] In this embodiment, the AOI light source has an annular body 3 positioned between the circuit board 1 and the LED bead 2. The annular body 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the LED bead 2 via an inclined annular surface 301 on an annular protrusion 32, and the LED bead 2 is precisely positioned via a positioning socket 302. This embodiment eliminates the need for multiple flexible substrates, simplifying the installation process. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy is effectively improved by using the inclined annular surface 301 and the positioning socket 302 to position the LED bead 2.

[0051] Optionally, the cross-section of the annular protrusion 32 is triangular. In one case, the annular surface of the annular protrusion 32 near the detection through hole 31 is an inclined annular surface 301, in which case the AOI light source has the effect of focusing light inward; in another case, the annular surface of the inclined annular surface 301 away from the detection through hole 31 is an inclined annular surface 301, in which case the AOI light source has the effect of scattering light outward.

[0052] Preferably, the annular surface of the annular protrusion 32 near the detection through hole 31 is such that at least six sets of positioning holes 302 are provided on each annular protrusion 32. Each set of positioning holes 302 is used to position one LED bead 2. Generally, a set of positioning holes 302 includes two through holes. The diameter of the through holes is slightly larger than the pin of the LED bead 2.

[0053] It should also be noted that circuit board 1 is generally provided with a plug-in hole corresponding to positioning socket 302. The pins of LED 2 are inserted into the plug-in hole to realize the connection between circuit board 1 and LED 2.

[0054] Optionally, several annular protrusions 32 are formed on one side of the bottom of the annular body 3, with adjacent annular protrusions 32 spaced apart; each annular protrusion 32 forms an inclined annular surface 301, and the angle between the inclined annular surface 301 and the center line of the detection through hole 31 is smaller the further away the inclined annular surface 301 is from the detection through hole 31. In this embodiment, the angle of the light emitted by the lamp beads 2 in different rings is different, thereby improving the lighting effect and avoiding the occurrence of blind spots.

[0055] Optionally, the circuit board 1 is in the shape of an annular flat plate; the top surface of the annular body 3 is flat, the circuit board 1 is attached to the top surface of the annular body 3, and the circuit board 1 does not obstruct the detection through hole 31. The circuit board 1 is in the shape of an annular flat plate, and the top surface of the annular body 3 is flat, which further simplifies the installation of the circuit board 1 and eliminates the problem of the circuit board 1 not being able to fit the annular body 3.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the AOI light source also includes a fixed perimeter 4, in which the LED beads 2, the annular body 3, and the circuit board 1 are all installed. A positioning post 5 is also installed in the fixed perimeter 4; one end of the positioning post 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed perimeter 4, and the other end passes through the circuit board 1 and is inserted into the annular body 3. The positioning post 5 creates a cavity between the circuit board 1 and the fixed perimeter 4, facilitating heat dissipation and assembly of the female connector terminal 7, and preventing the female connector terminal 7 from protruding excessively from the top of the fixed perimeter 4.

[0057] Optionally, it also includes a female terminal 7; the fixed perimeter 4 is also provided with a positioning mounting hole, the female terminal 7 is inserted into the positioning mounting hole and connected to the circuit board 1.

[0058] Optionally, a laser positioning module 6 is installed on the fixed perimeter 4; the laser positioning module 6 includes a support base 61 fixedly connected to the fixed perimeter 4, a mounting base 62 rotatably connected to the support base 61, and a dot laser 63 mounted on the mounting base 62; the rotation angle of the mounting base 62 is adjustable.

[0059] Optionally, the positioning post 5 includes an extension post portion 51 and an insertion positioning portion 52; a stepped surface is formed between the extension post portion 51 and the insertion positioning portion 52 for pressing onto the circuit board 1; when the insertion positioning portion 52 is inserted into the annular body 3, the stepped surface presses onto the circuit board 1. In this embodiment, when the insertion positioning portion 52 is inserted into the annular body 3, the stepped surface presses onto the circuit board 1, thus fixing the circuit board 1 and simultaneously positioning it. In this embodiment, the circuit board 1 is provided with a through positioning hole that matches the extension post portion 51.
