Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments of the double-track bamboo strip appearance inspection machine of this utility model, the following are included: two sets of workstations are arranged around a transparent turntable 200, and each set of workstations is equipped with two sets of visual inspection components 100 in opposite directions; a vibrating material tray 300 is provided with a feeding rail 301, the end of which has two feeding ends for simultaneously outputting bamboo strips 210 onto the transparent turntable 200; the feeding ends are located at the upper end of the transparent turntable 200; when the transparent turntable 200 rotates, the feeding ends are relative to the two material tracks of the transparent turntable 200, that is, the bamboo strips 210 will form two tracks on the transparent turntable 200; wherein, the two sets of visual inspection components 100 of each set of workstations pass through one of the material tracks; the visual inspection component 100 includes an industrial camera 101 and a supplementary light 102, wherein the supplementary light has a through hole in the center; the industrial camera 101 and the through hole are located on the same axis, and the visual range of the industrial camera 101 through the through hole is not less than the visible area of ​​the material.

[0037] By setting up two workstations around the transparent turntable 200, with each workstation equipped with two sets of visual inspection components 100 in opposite orientations, and cooperating with the two feeding ends of the vibrating material tray 300, the transparent turntable 200 forms two material trajectories when rotating. Each workstation's visual inspection component 100 corresponds to one of these material trajectories. This dual-track structure and multi-visual inspection component layout significantly improves inspection efficiency compared to manual inspection, enabling parallel inspection of multiple bamboo mat pieces 210 simultaneously, reducing inspection time. Furthermore, the visual inspection components 100 employ an industrial camera 101 and a supplementary light 102, with a through-hole in the center of the supplementary light 102. The industrial camera 101 is coaxial with the through-hole, and its visual range is not less than the visible area of ​​the material, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the inspection. This avoids the uncertainty of inspection results caused by human fatigue during prolonged work, thereby reducing the probability of defective products. This achieves automated bamboo mat appearance inspection, significantly improving inspection efficiency and reducing labor costs. Through precise layout and design of the visual inspection components, it improves inspection accuracy and stability, effectively reducing the defect rate and improving product quality.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the industrial camera 101 is a 1.3-megapixel high-definition camera, preferably an AS-SD130, equipped with a high-definition lens, such as an AS-1614H, with a viewing angle of up to 70*52mm and a resolution of 0.05mm / pixel. The supplementary light 102 is preferably an AS-RL12000-W, which incorporates a light source controller. The vertical distance between the high-definition camera and the material is 256mm, and the vertical distance between the supplementary light and the material is 150mm, with a distance error of 30mm. This allows the industrial camera to acquire high-definition images of bamboo strips, ensuring detection accuracy. The setting of the distance parameters ensures stable image quality, further improving the reliability of the detection results. For example, in actual detection, high pixel count and appropriate distance settings can clearly capture minute defects on the surface of the bamboo strips, avoiding missed detections.

[0039] Furthermore, the vibrating feeder 300 also includes a storage hopper 303; the outlet of the storage hopper 303 is located at the upper end of the vibrating feeder 302; both the vibrating feeder 302 and the storage hopper 303 are mounted on a material rack. This achieves automatic feeding and orderly conveying of bamboo strips, ensuring the continuity of the supply of bamboo strips 210 during the testing process, eliminating the need for frequent manual material addition, and improving the automation level and testing efficiency of the equipment. For example, in continuous production scenarios, the storage hopper can store a certain amount of bamboo strips to maintain continuous operation of the equipment.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the transparent turntable 200 is further equipped with a receiving mechanism 400 at the end of each workstation. The receiving mechanism at the end of each workstation on the transparent turntable 200 automatically collects and organizes the bamboo strips after testing, preventing them from scattering randomly and facilitating subsequent classification. This makes the entire testing process more complete and orderly, improving the convenience of production management. For example, qualified and defective products can be collected into different containers. Based on the results of the vision machine inspection and visual feedback signals, the bamboo strips 210 can be determined as OK or NG. Based on the OK or NG signal, a suction cup or robotic arm is triggered to transfer the NG products away, while the OK products are retained and collected by the receiving mechanism 400. This integrates the entire process from feeding to testing, eliminating defective products, and collecting good products into one integrated system.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, a slide rail 103 is provided between the camera 101 and the transparent turntable 200 to support the fill light 102. The slide rail 103 is provided with a groove 131, and the fill light 102 is slidably connected to the groove 131.

[0042] A slide rail 103 supports the supplementary light 102 between the camera and the transparent turntable 200 (101), and the supplementary light 102 is slidably connected to the slide groove 131. This allows the position of the supplementary light 103 to be flexibly adjusted, optimizing the position and angle of the supplementary light according to the detection requirements of bamboo strips of different specifications and shapes. This ensures uniform illumination, improves the detection effect, and enhances the versatility and adaptability of the equipment. Alternatively, the supplementary light can be removed when it is not needed. For example, when detecting bamboo strips of different thicknesses, the position of the supplementary light can be adjusted to obtain the best illumination.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, a first cabinet 201 is also included; the transparent turntable 200 is disposed inside the first cabinet 201; a window is provided on one side of the first cabinet 201, and the feeding rail 301 extends from the window to the transparent turntable 200.

[0044] The aforementioned transparent turntable 200 is housed inside the first cabinet 201, with a window on one side of the first cabinet 201 allowing the feeding rail 301 to extend to the transparent turntable 200. This structure protects the transparent turntable 200 and its internal detection components, reduces interference from the external environment, and makes the connection between the feeding rail 301 and the transparent turntable 200 more rational and orderly, improving the stability and safety of the equipment and facilitating its installation and maintenance. For example, it prevents dust and debris from entering and affecting detection accuracy.

[0045] It also includes a second cabinet 204 arranged side by side with the first cabinet 201; the vibrating material tray 300 is disposed in the second cabinet 204. Adding a second cabinet 204 arranged side by side with the first cabinet 201 to house the vibrating material tray allows for a more rational layout of the equipment components, making the overall structure more compact and saving space. It also facilitates independent maintenance and management of components such as the vibrating material tray 300 and the transparent turntable 200, improving the operability and maintenance convenience of the equipment. Furthermore, placing the entire equipment inside the cabinet effectively isolates noise during operation, preventing excessive noise from impacting the environment and reducing noise pollution in the working environment.

[0046] A lighthouse 202 is installed at the upper end of the first cabinet 201. It can visually display the equipment's operating status, such as normal operation or fault alarm, through light color and flashing, allowing operators to understand the equipment's condition promptly and handle abnormalities in a timely manner, thus improving equipment operation safety and production management efficiency. For example, when equipment malfunctions, the lighthouse flashes red to alert the operator.

[0047] Furthermore, the lower ends of the first cabinet 201 and the second cabinet 204 are equipped with casters 203. The casters 203 at the lower ends of the first cabinet 201 and the second cabinet 204 facilitate the movement and positioning of the equipment, making it convenient to transfer the equipment between different production sites or adjust its position according to the production layout. This improves the flexibility and applicability of the equipment and reduces the difficulty of installation and relocation. For example, the equipment can be easily moved to a suitable location according to the needs of the production line.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device.
