Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual recognition technology, specifically a dedicated waterproof and dustproof visual imaging system. Background Technology

[0002] In existing visual imaging systems, ring light sources are generally large in size with a hollow center. While this structure is suitable for conventional visual inspection, several problems arise when using such ring light sources on semiconductor cutting equipment. First, the completely hollow center means that during semiconductor cutting, a lot of water vapor will accumulate and adhere to the lens and light source. Water vapor on the lens directly affects camera image capture, and water vapor on the light source's LEDs reduces brightness, impacting product recognition. Second, the large size increases the size of the camera module, which is detrimental to the semiconductor industry's need for compact equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dedicated waterproof and dustproof visual imaging system, which aims to solve the technical problems of traditional visual imaging systems having a large structural volume and water mist affecting the recognition of products.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A dedicated waterproof and dustproof visual imaging system, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] An inner cavity, wherein the inner cavity is provided with an interface for mounting a telecentric lens;

[0007] A light source board, wherein the light source board is mounted in the inner cavity;

[0008] A transparent light guide plate is installed in the inner cavity and covers the light source plate;

[0009] An outer casing, which is installed on the outside of the inner cavity;

[0010] A venting and wire-passing block is installed in the inner cavity. The venting and wire-passing block is provided with a first air pipe connector, a second air pipe connector, and a channel for passing wires through.

[0011] An air blowing pipe is connected to the bottom of the air-passing wire block;

[0012] camera;

[0013] A telecentric lens, which is connected to the camera and installed at the interface of the inner cavity;

[0014] A point light source is mounted on the telecentric lens.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a first sealing ring is provided between the interface between the telecentric lens and the inner cavity.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a second sealing ring is provided between the outer casing and the inner cavity.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a third sealing ring is provided between the transparent light guide plate and the inner cavity.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a fourth sealing ring is provided between the transparent light guide plate and the outer casing.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the air-passing and wire-passing block is provided with a first channel and a second channel. The first channel connects the second air pipe connector to the interior of the inner cavity, and the second channel connects the first air pipe connector to the air blowing pipe.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a first sealing sleeve is provided in the channel for the wire to pass through the air-passing and wire-passing block, and the wire of the light source board is led out through the first sealing sleeve; a through hole is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a second sealing sleeve is provided in the channel connecting the second air pipe connector and the inner cavity within the air-passing and wire-passing block.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the air blowing pipe is independently connected to the first air pipe connector via the air passage block.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] To solve the problem of water mist contamination, a multi-layered sealing structure is used to block water mist from entering the optical components in the cutting environment, preventing water mist from adhering to the surface of the telecentric lens and the light source board.

[0025] The positive pressure air curtain mechanism allows gas to exit through the second air pipe connector → inner cavity → bottom through hole, forming a downward airflow barrier to prevent external water mist from entering the light source area, thus ensuring the brightness of the light source and the clarity of the image.

[0026] To improve product identification reliability, an independent air blowing channel (first air pipe connector → air blowing pipe) directly cleans contaminants on the product surface, eliminating misidentification caused by cutting residue.

[0027] Miniaturization and functional integration are achieved through a modular and compact design (integrating the light source, air path, and sealing structure within the internal cavity), significantly reducing system size and meeting the space constraints of semiconductor equipment. The air passage and cable passage block simultaneously integrates dual air paths and cable sealing channels (first sealing sleeve and second sealing sleeve), simplifying the layout of external pipelines.

[0028] Enhanced lighting adaptability: The combination of a ring light source board and point light sources provides main illumination and local supplementary lighting, adapting to the identification needs of different parts of semiconductor products. Attached Figure Description
