Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge banding machine technology, and more specifically, to edge banding visual inspection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Edge banding machines are specialized equipment used for edge banding of various types of boards. They are widely used in furniture manufacturing, building materials processing, and other fields. Their core function is to make the edges of boards more aesthetically pleasing, wear-resistant, and moisture-proof through processes such as gluing, edge banding tape bonding, trimming, and polishing. The equipment typically includes a gluing system, an edge banding tape conveyor, a pressing mechanism, and a trimming knife assembly. Parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to board specifications and edge banding tape material, enabling independent operation or automated production line integration, significantly improving board processing efficiency and quality. During operation, the gluing system evenly applies hot melt adhesive to the board edges. Simultaneously, the edge banding tape is precisely fed by the conveyor and enters the pressing mechanism synchronously with the glued edge. Roller pressing achieves a tight bond. The trimming knife assembly then cuts and bevels the excess edge banding tape, making the edges smooth and even. Finally, the polishing device removes burrs. Throughout the process, all components are controlled by a PLC. The controllers work together to ensure that parameters such as glue application amount, edge banding tension, and pressing force are accurately matched to achieve efficient and automated edge banding. Since different boards have different edge banding requirements, it is necessary to conduct edge banding inspection on the boards.

[0003] In related technologies, during the use of the sealing machine, staff members typically conduct random sampling tests on the sealed panels to ensure the sealing effect before use.

[0004] However, during the current use of the sealing machine, due to the long distance between the front and back of the board after edge banding, the sampling inspection by the staff is cumbersome and prone to insufficient inspection, which affects the convenience and comprehensiveness of the edge banding inspection of the sealing machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a visual inspection device for edge sealing that overcomes or at least partially solves the above technical problems.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a visual inspection device for edge banding, including an edge banding machine. An intermediate roller table is installed on the inner side of the edge banding machine, a feeding table is installed on the right side of the edge banding machine, and a controller is installed on the outer side of the edge banding machine.

[0008] A visual inspection agency, comprising:

[0009] Support; the support is fixedly connected to the inside of the edge banding machine, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the support;

[0010] Support plate; the support plate is installed on the inner side of the support via guide rails, and a vision scanner electrically connected to the controller is installed on the surface of both the support plate and the support rod;

[0011] An angle adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the inside of the edge banding machine.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the detection angle adjustment mechanism includes an angle seat, an angle rod, and an angle plate. The angle seat is fixedly connected to the inner side of the edge banding machine, the angle rod is movably connected to the outer side of the angle seat, the angle plate is movably connected to the inner side of the angle rod, and the visual scanner is mounted on the surface of the angle plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an auxiliary power roller is installed on the left side of the edge banding machine, the top of which is level with the feed position of the edge banding machine, and the auxiliary power roller is electrically connected to the controller via a wire.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a pneumatic telescopic guide strip is installed on the left side of the edge banding machine, located outside the auxiliary power roller, and the pneumatic telescopic guide strip is electrically connected to the controller via a wire.

[0015] The edge banding visual inspection equipment provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By setting up a visual inspection mechanism, a multi-angle inspection medium can be formed at the discharge position of the edge banding machine to inspect the edge banding machine. This allows for real-time inspection of the edge-banded board during operation, avoiding inconvenience or inadequacy in the inspection of the board after edge banding. Therefore, the convenience and comprehensiveness of the edge banding inspection of the edge banding machine are improved.

[0017] 2. By setting up a detection angle adjustment mechanism, a support contact can be formed on the surface of the edge banding machine to allow for multi-angle detection and adjustment of the vision scanner. This allows the detection angle of the vision scanner to be adjusted according to the processing and production conditions of the outer board material by the edge banding machine, thus avoiding situations where it is difficult to adjust the detection angle during use and improving the adaptability of the vision scanner.

[0018] 3. By setting auxiliary power rollers, auxiliary power can be provided for the workpieces to be edge-banded, ensuring that the workpieces move smoothly and continuously on the conveyor track of the edge-banding machine. Whether it is a relatively independent conveying process when edge-banding a single machine, or a continuous production line that connects with the customer's existing feeding platform and intermediate roller platform in line edge-banding, the auxiliary power rollers can adapt to the rhythm, so that the workpiece conveying is not stuck or slowed down. This creates a stable material transmission environment for subsequent processes such as scanning and inspection. It is a basic support component that ensures the smooth operation of the edge-banding process, thus improving the feeding stability of the edge-banding machine and the effect of subsequent scanning and inspection.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an edge banding visual inspection device, including an edge banding machine 1 and a visual inspection mechanism. An intermediate roller table 2 is installed on the inner side of the edge banding machine 1, a feeding table 3 is installed on the right side of the edge banding machine 1, and a controller 4 is installed on the outer side of the edge banding machine 1. This controller can form a medium at multiple angles at the discharge position of the edge banding machine 1 to perform edge banding inspection, so that the edge banding machine 1 can perform real-time inspection of the edge-banded board when it is working. This avoids the inconvenience or inadequacy of inspection after the edge banding of the board, thus improving the convenience and comprehensiveness of the edge banding inspection of the edge banding machine 1.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 In a preferred embodiment, the visual inspection mechanism includes a support 5, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the edge banding machine 1. A support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support 5, and a support plate 7 is installed on the inner side of the support 5 via a guide rail. Visual scanners 8, electrically connected to a controller 4, are mounted on the surfaces of both the support plate 7 and the support rod 6. A detection angle adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the inner side of the edge banding machine 1. The support 5, in conjunction with the support rod 6 and the support plate 7, provides the mounting scanning medium for the visual scanners 8. Based on the edge banding inspection requirements of the board material, the visual scanners 8 are installed and stabilized at the discharge end of the edge banding machine 1 via the support rod 6 and the support plate 7. Since the support plate 7 can be adjusted horizontally, and the support rod 6 has installation leeway, the operator can install the visual scanners 8 in the appropriate positions according to the actual inspection needs. When the board material is processed and edge banded by the edge banding machine 1 and moves out of the edge banding machine 1 from the discharge end, the visual scanners 8 perform real-time image collection and inspection of the edge banding position of the board material. When defects are detected in the edge banding of the board material... The visual scanner 8 transmits signals to the controller 4. After receiving the signals, the controller 4, equipped with a buzzer alarm, converts the electrical signals into sound signals to alert the staff that there are defects in the edge banding of the board. The detection angle adjustment mechanism includes an angle seat 9, an angle rod 10, and an angle plate 11. The angle seat 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the edge banding machine 1, the angle rod 10 is movably connected to the outside of the angle seat 9, and the angle plate 11 is movably connected to the inside of the angle rod 10. The visual scanner 8 is mounted on the surface of the angle plate 11, which forms a support contact on the surface of the edge banding machine 1 for multi-angle detection and adjustment of the visual scanner 8. This allows the detection angle of the visual scanner 8 to be adjusted according to the processing and production conditions of the external board by the edge banding machine 1, thus avoiding situations where the detection angle of the visual scanner 8 is difficult to adjust and improving the adaptability of the visual scanner 8.

[0027] Reference Figures 2-3In a preferred embodiment, an auxiliary power roller 12 is installed on the left side of the edge banding machine 1. The top of the auxiliary power roller 12 is level with the feeding position of the edge banding machine 1. The auxiliary power roller 12 is electrically connected to the controller 4 via a wire, which can provide auxiliary power to the workpiece to be edge banded, ensuring that the workpiece moves smoothly and continuously on the conveying track of the edge banding machine 1. Whether it is a relatively independent conveying process in single-machine edge banding or a continuous production line connected with the customer's existing feeding platform 3 and intermediate roller platform 2 in line edge banding, the auxiliary power roller 12 can adapt to the rhythm, so that the workpiece is conveyed without jamming or slowing down. It creates a stable material transmission environment for subsequent processes such as scanning and inspection, and is a basic support component to ensure the smooth operation of the edge banding process. Therefore, it improves the edge banding efficiency. The edge banding machine 1 improves feeding stability and subsequent scanning and inspection performance. A pneumatic telescopic flow bar 13 is installed on the left side of the edge banding machine 1, located outside the auxiliary power roller 12. The pneumatic telescopic flow bar 13 is electrically connected to the controller 4 via wires. This compensates for the connection gap during operation of the edge banding machine 1, adapting to the conveying needs of different workpiece specifications and edge banding scenarios. When edge banding a single machine, the length is adjusted to better fit the workpiece conveying space. When edge banding a connected line, it works in conjunction with existing equipment such as the feed platform 3 and intermediate roller platform 2 to compensate for production line connection gaps, ensuring a smooth transition of workpieces in the continuous production line. This creates suitable material conveying conditions for the stable operation of components such as the vision scanner 8, thus improving the working coordination and adaptability between the edge banding machine 1 and the vision scanner 8.

[0028] Specifically, the working process or principle of this edge banding visual inspection equipment is as follows: During use, based on the actual edge banding inspection requirements of the board material on the edge banding machine 1, firstly, the support rod 6 and support plate 7 are installed on the outside of the discharge end of the edge banding machine 1 via the support 5. Then, the visual scanner 8 is installed and stabilized on the discharge end of the edge banding machine 1 via the support rod 6 and support plate 7. Since the support plate 7 can be adjusted horizontally, and the support rod 6 has installation leeway, the operator can install the visual scanner 8 in the corresponding position according to the actual inspection requirements. Subsequently, based on the angle requirements of the board edge banding, the visual scanner 8 is installed on the surface of the angle plate 11. According to the detection angle requirements of the visual scanner 8, the operator holds the angle plate 11 and angle rod 10 to adjust the scanning detection angle of the visual scanner 8. The angle rod 10, angle plate 11, and angle seat 9 work together via a gas spring for air suspension. When the angle plate 11, angle rod 10, and angle seat 9 work together to adjust the detection angle of the vision scanner 8, the vision scanner 8 can operate with stable angle. When the edge banding machine 1 performs single-machine edge banding on external boards, the pneumatic telescopic flow strip 13 is initially in a retracted state. At this time, it can be adjusted by the controller 4 according to actual usage needs. At the same time, the auxiliary power roller 12 is on standby. When the workpiece to be edge banded is placed at the starting position of the edge banding machine 1, the pneumatic telescopic flow strip 13 extends according to the workpiece length and conveying requirements, adjusting its own length to build a suitable conveying track for the workpiece, so that the workpiece conveying path is aligned with the subsequent edge banding process. Precise alignment is achieved during this process. The auxiliary power roller 12 is activated, using its own rotational power to propel the workpiece forward on the track of the pneumatic telescopic flow bar 13. The auxiliary power roller 12 continuously provides stable power, ensuring uniform and smooth conveying of the workpiece, preventing stagnation or deviation due to workpiece weight, friction, or other factors. This creates the foundation for the vision scanner 8 to stably collect information. After the board is edge-banded by the edge-banding machine 1, as it moves out of the machine from the discharge end, the vision scanner 8 performs real-time image collection and detection of the edge-banding position. When a defect is detected in the edge-banding, the vision scanner 8 transmits a signal to the controller 4. Upon receiving the signal, the controller 4, equipped with an internal buzzer alarm, activates the visual scanner. After receiving the signal from scanner 8, the electrical signal is converted into an audible signal via a buzzer alarm to alert the staff that there are defects in the edge banding of the board. When the edge banding machine 1 works in conjunction with the intermediate roller table 2 and the feeding table 3 to perform line edge banding on the board, the line edge banding needs to be compatible with the customer's existing feeding table 3 and intermediate roller table 2. The pneumatic telescopic flow strip 13 is pre-extended according to the production line connection requirements to fill the physical gap between the edge banding equipment and the customer's production line equipment, and to build a continuous conveying channel. The auxiliary power roller 12 is pre-matched with the customer's production line conveying rhythm to prepare for power connection. When the edge banding of the board passes through multiple vision scanners 8, the vision scanners 8 perform real-time multi-angle detection on the edge-banded board and transmit the detection information to the controller 4 so that the controller 4 can remind the staff.

[0029] It should be noted that the edge banding machine 1, intermediate roller table 2, feeding table 3, controller 4, vision scanner 8, auxiliary power roller 12 and pneumatic telescopic flow strip 13 are all existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology. Their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.
