Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light source technology for visual inspection equipment, and in particular to a light source bracket for visual inspection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Visual inspection equipment is an intelligent device that uses optical imaging technology, image sensors, and computer vision algorithms to automatically detect and analyze the appearance, size, defects, position, and other features of a target object. It acquires an image of the object by illuminating it with a light source, then extracts features through an image processing system and compares them with preset standards, thereby achieving high-speed and high-precision automated inspection. It is widely used in many fields such as industrial manufacturing, electronics, and medical. The light source bracket of visual inspection equipment refers to the device used to fix and support the light source to ensure that the light source can stably and accurately provide illumination in the visual inspection system.

[0003] The light source of existing visual inspection equipment is fixed in position during use, making it inconvenient to adjust the distance between the light source and the object. However, the fixed position will affect the illumination effect on the object, resulting in poor detection effect of the visual inspection equipment.

[0004] Therefore, a light source holder for visual inspection equipment is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems with the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment, this utility model is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a light source bracket for visual inspection equipment, which solves the problem that "when the light source of the existing visual inspection equipment is in use, its fixed position makes it inconvenient to adjust the distance between the light source and the object. However, the fixed position will affect the illumination effect on the object, thus leading to poor detection effect of the visual inspection equipment".

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a light source bracket for a visual inspection device, comprising:

[0009] Mounting plate, with a bracket fixedly mounted on the bottom and a visual inspection device fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate;

[0010] An adjustment unit is placed above the mounting plate. The adjustment unit includes a suction cup and a pressure plate, which are used to adjust the distance between the light source body and the vision inspection equipment. Under the restriction of the pressure plate, the light source body can be quickly replaced.

[0011] A protective unit is placed outside the adjustment unit. The protective unit includes a protective housing for overall protection of the adjustment unit and the vision inspection equipment.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, the adjustment unit includes an upright plate fixedly installed on the top surface of a mounting plate. A slide rod is slidably arranged inside the upright plate, and a light source base is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod. A slot is opened on the side wall of the light source base, and a plug is inserted into the slot. A light source body is fixedly installed at the end of the plug. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the light source base. A sliding groove is opened on the side wall of the fixing plate. A first magnetic block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove, and a second magnetic block is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove. A pressure plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second magnetic block.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, a sleeve plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the light source base, a pull rod is slidably arranged inside the sleeve plate, a first spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod, a suction cup is fixedly installed at the end of the pull rod, and a wire harness is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod away from the light source base.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the light source support for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block are magnetically repulsive, and the outer wall of the light source body is sleeved inside the light source base. Under the restriction of magnetic repulsion, the second magnetic block is pushed, causing the pressure plate to press the light source body, thus stably sleeved the light source body and the light source base.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, the suction cup is made of rubber, one end of the first spring is fixedly installed to the bottom of the sleeve plate, and the end of the first spring away from the sleeve plate is fixedly installed to the top surface of the suction cup. Under the elastic action of the first spring, the suction cup can be pushed so that the suction cup can be stably adsorbed to the top surface of the mounting plate.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, the protective unit includes a rod fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate, a sleeve block slidably disposed on the outer wall of the rod, and a protective box fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve block.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, the outer wall of the protective box is hinged with a connecting plate, the end of the connecting plate away from the protective box is hinged with a sliding sleeve, a vertical rod is slidably arranged inside the sliding sleeve, a second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical rod, a limiting plate is arranged outside the second spring, and a retaining frame is slidably arranged inside the limiting plate.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the light source bracket for visual inspection equipment described in this utility model, one end of the second spring is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate, and the end of the second spring away from the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding sleeve. Under the elastic action of the second spring, the sliding sleeve can be pushed upward, so that the sliding sleeve pulls the protective box through the connecting plate, and the two protective boxes are closed.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When adjusting the distance between the visual inspection device and the light source, pulling the pull rod causes the suction cup to no longer adhere to the mounting plate. After compressing the first spring, the light source seat is pushed, and the distance is adjusted by sliding the slide rod within the upright plate. When replacing the light source body, pulling the light source body outward causes the insertion post to disengage from the slot. The pressure plate drives the second magnetic block to slide towards the first magnetic block, thus disassembling the light source body. When installing a new light source, the repulsive force between the two magnetic blocks pushes the pressure plate to fix the light source body. Different color-sensing light sources can be replaced according to the characteristics of the object, improving the accuracy of the detection data.

[0020] After use, pull the frame to release the restriction. The second spring pushes the sliding sleeve upward, which in turn drives the protective box to move in opposite directions through the connecting plate, thus protecting the equipment and preventing dust from adhering and affecting accuracy. The frame can restrict the protective box when it is open. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a light source bracket for a visual inspection device, comprising:

[0035] Mounting plate 100, with bracket 101 fixedly mounted at the bottom of mounting plate 100 and visual inspection equipment 102 fixedly mounted on the top surface of mounting plate 100;

[0036] The adjustment unit 200 is located above the mounting plate 100. The adjustment unit 200 includes a suction cup 215 and a pressure plate 211, which are used to adjust the distance between the light source body 206 and the vision inspection device 102. Under the restriction of the pressure plate 211, the light source body 206 can be quickly replaced.

[0037] The protective unit 300 is placed outside the adjustment unit 200. The protective unit 300 includes a protective box 303, which is used to protect the adjustment unit 200 and the vision inspection equipment 102 as a whole.

[0038] In use, the visual inspection device 102 is installed inside the inspection box under the constraints of the mounting plate 100 and the bracket 101. Under the constraints of the visual inspection device 102, it can detect objects in conjunction with the adjustment unit 200. Under the constraints of the protective unit 300, the adjustment unit 200 and the visual inspection device 102 can be protected as a whole after use.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiment, as follows:

[0041] Adjustment unit 200 includes a vertical plate 201 fixedly installed on the top surface of mounting plate 100. A slide rod 202 is slidably disposed inside the vertical plate 201. A light source holder 203 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod 202. A slot 204 is formed on the side wall of the light source holder 203. A pin 205 is inserted into the slot 204. A light source body 206 is fixedly installed at the end of the pin 205. A fixing plate 207 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the light source holder 203. A sliding groove 2 is formed on the side wall of the fixing plate 207. 08. A first magnetic block 209 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide 208. A second magnetic block 210 is slidably arranged inside the slide 208. A pressure plate 211 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second magnetic block 210. A sleeve plate 212 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the light source base 203. A pull rod 213 is slidably arranged inside the sleeve plate 212. A first spring 214 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod 213. A suction cup 215 is fixedly installed at the end of the pull rod 213. A wire harness 216 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod 202 away from the light source base 203.

[0042] In this configuration, the second magnetic block 210 and the first magnetic block 209 are magnetically repulsive. The outer wall of the light source body 206 is fitted inside the light source base 203. Under the restriction of magnetic repulsion, the second magnetic block 210 is pushed, causing the pressure plate 211 to press the light source body 206, thus stably fitting the light source body 206 and the light source base 203 together.

[0043] The suction cup 215 is made of rubber. One end of the first spring 214 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sleeve plate 212, and the end of the first spring 214 away from the sleeve plate 212 is fixedly installed at the top surface of the suction cup 215. Under the elastic action of the first spring 214, the suction cup 215 can be pushed so that the suction cup 215 can be stably adsorbed to the top surface of the mounting plate 100.

[0044] In use, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the vision inspection device 102 and the light source body 206, pull the lever 213. This causes the suction cup 215 to move upward, so that the suction cup 215 is no longer attached to the top surface of the mounting plate 100. The upward pull lever 213 compresses the first spring 214 sleeved on its outer wall, which in turn pushes the light source base 203, causing the slide rod 202 to slide inside the upright plate 201. The light source base 203 drives the light source body 206 to move, thus adjusting the distance between it and the vision inspection device 102. When the object is different and the light source body 206 needs to be replaced, pull the light source body 206 away from the light source base 203, so that the insertion post 205 fixedly installed on the side wall of the light source body 206 is no longer attached to the side of the light source base 203. The light source body 206 is inserted into the slot 204 in the wall. The light source body 206 pushes the pressure plate 211, causing the pressure plate 211 to drive the second magnetic block 210 to slide in the slide groove 208 towards the first magnetic block 209. This allows the light source body 206 to be replaced. Another light source body 206 is installed inside the light source base 203. Under the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic block 209 and the second magnetic block 210, the second magnetic block 210 and the pressure plate 211 can be pushed. Under the pressure restriction of the pressure plate 211, the light source body 206 and the light source base 203 can be installed. This structure can adjust the distance between the light source body 206 and the visual inspection device 102, and can replace the light source body 206 with different color sensitivity according to different objects, making the detection data more accurate.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiments, as detailed below:

[0047] The protective unit 300 includes a rod 301 fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate 100. A sleeve block 302 is slidably provided on the outer wall of the rod 301. A protective box 303 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve block 302. A connecting plate 304 is hinged to the outer wall of the protective box 303. A sliding sleeve 305 is hinged to the end of the connecting plate 304 away from the protective box 303. A vertical rod 306 is slidably provided inside the sliding sleeve 305. A second spring 307 is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical rod 306. A limiting plate 308 is provided outside the second spring 307. A retaining frame 309 is slidably provided inside the limiting plate 308.

[0048] One end of the second spring 307 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate 100, and the other end of the second spring 307 away from the mounting plate 100 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding sleeve 305. Under the elastic action of the second spring 307, the sliding sleeve 305 can be pushed upward, so that the sliding sleeve 305 pulls the protective box 303 through the connecting plate 304, and the two protective boxes 303 are closed.

[0049] When in use, after the visual inspection device 102 and the adjustment unit 200 are finished, they need to be protected to prevent dust from adhering to their outer walls. At this time, pull the frame 309 so that the frame 309 is no longer placed on top of the sliding sleeve 305. Under the elastic action of the second spring 307, the sliding sleeve 305 is pushed upward. Since the end of the connecting plate 304 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 305 and the protective box 303, and the sleeve block 302 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective box 303 is slidably set with the rod 301, under its restriction, the sliding sleeve 305 pulls the protective box 303 through the connecting plate 304. The two protective boxes 303 move in opposite directions, protecting the adjustment unit 200 and the visual inspection device 102. Under the restriction of the frame 309, the two open protective boxes 303 can be restricted. This structure can protect the adjustment unit 200 and the visual inspection device 102 and prevent dust from adhering to their outer walls and affecting their accuracy.

[0050] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to the mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0051] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those of ordinary skill in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine task in design, manufacturing, and production without requiring extensive experimentation.

[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
