Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector processing technology, specifically to a visual inspection device for the packaging of electrical connectors at the factory. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are conductor devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. An electronic connector is a type of electrical system that provides a separable interface for connecting two secondary electronic systems. Simply put, a connector is a component used to complete the electrical connection between circuits or electronic devices; it is the bridge between them. Compared to a normal production line, electrical connectors require visual inspection before leaving the factory, not only to reduce the defect rate during packaging but also to facilitate subsequent traceability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a visual inspection device for the packaging of electrical connectors. It has a simple structure, can realize multi-directional inspection of electrical connectors, and can adjust the position of the main camera component to adapt to workpieces with different structures. It has good performance.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a visual inspection device for the packaging of electrical connectors, comprising a worktable, an X-axis moving component on the worktable, a Y-axis moving component on the X-axis moving component, a mounting plate on the Y-axis moving component, a Z-axis moving component on the mounting plate, a lifting plate on the Z-axis moving component, a rotating shaft seat on the lifting plate, a mounting shaft on the rotating shaft seat, a main camera assembly at the bottom of the mounting shaft, rotary motors adapted to the mounting shaft on both sides of the rotating shaft seat, an auxiliary extension plate at the bottom of the lifting plate, a rotation adjustment plate on the auxiliary extension plate, and a side monitoring camera on the rotation adjustment plate.
[0005] Furthermore, a frame is provided outside the workbench, a one-way lifting door is provided on the frame, a viewing window is provided on the lifting door, a control component is provided on one side of the lifting door, and a locking component is provided on the frame corresponding to the position of the lifting door.
[0006] Furthermore, a placement platform is provided on the worktable between the X-axis moving components.
[0007] Furthermore, the workbench is surrounded by columns, and a top beam is provided between the tops of the columns. A light source board and a camera bracket are provided on the top beam. An auxiliary camera assembly is provided on the camera bracket, and a through hole is provided on the light source board corresponding to the position of the auxiliary camera assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided at the midpoint between adjacent columns.
[0009] Furthermore, the X-axis moving component, Y-axis moving component, and Z-axis moving component all include cable chains on their sides.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, the workpiece to be inspected is placed on the placement table. The X-axis moving component, Y-axis moving component and Z-axis moving component drive the upper lifting plate to move in three axes, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom main camera component. At the same time, the rotary motors on both sides drive the middle mounting shaft to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the main camera component to fit the workpiece at the bottom. In addition, the rotating adjustment plate can rotate along the auxiliary extension plate to adjust the angle of the side monitoring camera, thus achieving all-round visual inspection in conjunction with the main camera component.

[0016] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0017] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0018] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
