Abstract

This application provides a glass edge inspection device and a glass inspection equipment. The glass edge inspection device includes a base, a support base, a rotating base, and multiple glass edge inspection modules. The support base is mounted on the base and has an air flotation plate for maintaining the glass in a suspended state. The rotating base is rotatably connected to the support base and has multiple air holes for adsorbing glass under negative pressure. Each glass edge inspection module includes a mounting base, a movable base, a first camera, and a light source. The mounting base is mounted on the base. The movable base is movably mounted on the mounting base and supports the first camera and the light source. The light source illuminates the edge of the glass.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-6 This application provides a glass edge inspection device 100, which is applied to a glass inspection equipment and is used to inspect the edge of the glass in an inclined state.

[0027] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-6In this embodiment, the glass edge inspection device 100 includes a base 10, a support 20, a rotating seat 30, and multiple glass edge inspection modules 40. The support 20 is mounted on the base 10. The support 20 is provided with an air flotation plate 21, which is used to maintain the suspension state of the glass. The rotating seat 30 is rotatably connected to the support 20. The rotating seat 30 is provided with multiple air holes 30a, which are used to adsorb the glass under negative pressure so that the glass rotates with the rotation of the rotating seat 30, thereby facilitating the angle adjustment of the glass so that glass at different angles can be inspected by multiple glass edge inspection modules 40. Multiple glass edge inspection modules 40 are disposed on each side of the support base 20. Each glass edge inspection module 40 includes a mounting base 41, a movable base 42, a first camera 43, and a light source 44. The mounting base 41 is mounted on the base 10. The movable base 42 is movably mounted on the mounting base 41 and supports the first camera 43 and the light source 44. The light source 44 is used to illuminate the edge of the glass. The first camera 43 is arranged at an angle relative to the movable base 42 (the angle can be perpendicular to the direction of glass movement and tilted inward or outward) and is used to dynamically detect the edge of the glass along the tilt direction. This allows the first camera 43 to capture the shadow of the glass crack in the tilted state, avoiding the problem that the first camera 43 cannot capture the corresponding vertical deviation of the glass crack in the 10° to 15° range when it is in the vertical state, thus improving the detection effect of the glass edge inspection device 100.

[0028] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the base 10 serves as a support component of the glass edge inspection device 100, and the base 10 is used to support the support seat 20, the rotating seat 30, and multiple glass edge inspection modules 40.

[0029] The support base 20 is located on the upper side of the base 10 and is installed on the base 10 so that the support base 20 can be fixed on the upper side of the base 10. The support base 20 is provided with an air flotation plate 21, which is used to maintain the suspension state of the glass and ensure the suspension effect of the glass.

[0030] The rotating seat 30 is located in the middle of the support seat 20. The rotating seat 30 is rotatably connected to the support seat 20 so as to adjust the position of the rotating seat 30 relative to the support seat 20. The rotating seat 30 is provided with multiple air holes 30a, which are used to adsorb glass under negative pressure so that the glass can rotate with the rotation of the rotating seat 30, thereby facilitating the angle adjustment of the glass so that glass at different angles can be inspected by multiple glass edge inspection modules 40.

[0031] Multiple glass edge inspection modules 40 are disposed on each periphery of the support base 20; each glass edge inspection module 40 includes a mounting base 41, a movable base 42, a first camera 43, and a light source 44; the mounting base 41 is mounted on the base 10 so that each glass edge inspection module 40 is fixedly connected to the base 10 via the mounting base 41; the movable base 42 is movably mounted on the mounting base 41 so as to adjust the position of the movable base 42 relative to the mounting base 41, and the movable base 42 supports the first camera 43 and the light source 44 so that the first camera 43 and the light source 44 can move together. The movable base 42 moves, which facilitates the first camera 43 to capture images of different positions along the edge of the glass during the movement. The light source 44 is used to illuminate the edge of the glass. The first camera 43 is arranged at an angle relative to the movable base 42 and is used to dynamically detect the edge of the glass along the angle direction. This allows the first camera 43 to capture the shadow of the glass crack in the angled state, avoiding the problem that the first camera 43 cannot capture the corresponding vertical deviation of the glass crack in the 10° to 15° range when it is in the vertical state. This improves the detection effect of the glass edge inspection device 100.

[0032] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the rotating seat 30 is connected to the support seat 20 via bearings. The bearings are arranged vertically to allow the rotating seat 30 to rotate relative to the support seat 20 under the action of the bearings, thus ensuring the rotation effect of the rotating seat 30. The glass edge inspection device 100 includes a power motor 50, which is connected to the rotating seat 30 and drives the rotating seat 30 to rotate along its own axis, so that the rotating seat 30 can achieve automated rotation under the power of the power motor 50.

[0033] Multiple air holes 30a are formed on the upper surface of the rotating seat 30 and are used to connect to an external air source. When the air source is under negative pressure, the multiple air holes 30a are in a suction state and adsorb the glass in the suction state, so that the glass can rotate with the rotation of the rotating seat 30, so that the glass can be adjusted in angle, thereby enabling the glass at different angles to be inspected by multiple glass edge inspection modules 40.

[0034] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the rotating seat 30 is arranged in a ring shape to facilitate its rotation relative to the support seat 20 around a central axis. Multiple air holes 30a are distributed at different positions on the rotating seat 30 and arranged along its ring direction, allowing gas to flow evenly from or into each air hole 30a, ensuring uniform adsorption force between each air hole 30a and the glass, thus guaranteeing the stability of the glass. The rotating seat 30 is provided with a flow channel 30b, which connects to the multiple air holes 30a and is connected to an external air source via an air pipe, allowing the external air source to connect to each air hole 30a through the flow channel 30b, ensuring that gas can be smoothly discharged or drawn from each air hole 30a.

[0035] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, the air flotation plate 21 is installed on the support base 20; the air flotation plate 21 is provided with a through hole 21a, which is located in the middle of the air flotation plate 21; the rotating base 30 is located in the through hole 21a and exposed to the through hole 21a; so that the multiple air holes 30a of the rotating base 30 are exposed to the external environment, thereby facilitating the multiple air holes 30a of the rotating base 30 to either draw air or not draw air towards the external environment. When the multiple air holes 30a are in the non-drawing state, the air flotation plate 21 blows air onto the glass and maintains the glass in a suspended state, so as to support the glass with gas.

[0036] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, the support base 20 is provided with an infrared sensor 22, which is arranged vertically with its output end facing upwards towards the support base 20 to detect the presence of glass. When the glass enters the detection range of the infrared sensor 22, it reflects infrared light. After receiving the reflected light, the infrared sensor 22 determines that the glass is present. Each infrared sensor 22 is arranged around the rotating base 30 to achieve all-round detection of the space around the rotating base 30, so that the infrared sensor 22 can detect the glass in time when it approaches the rotating base 30, thereby improving the detection reliability and coverage of the infrared sensor 22.

[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the glass edge inspection module 40 further includes a moving module 45, which is located between the mounting base 41 and the moving base 42. The fixed end of the moving module 45 is connected to the mounting base 41, and the moving end of the moving module 45 is connected to the moving base 42, driving the moving base 42 to move horizontally. This allows the moving base 42 to move automatically relative to the mounting base 41 horizontally via the moving module 45, ensuring the effective movement of the moving base 42. Optionally, there are four glass edge inspection modules 40, arranged in a square. The four modules simultaneously inspect the four edges of the glass, rotating while inspecting, with the speed determined based on the longest edge to avoid collisions. The glass edge inspection module 40 is used to inspect unground glass sheets for defects such as chips or cracks.

[0039] The second connecting seat 47 is disposed on the outside of the first connecting seat 46 and can be angled relative to the first connecting seat 46. The second connecting seat 47 supports the first camera 43 so that the angle of the first camera 43 can be adjusted with the angle adjustment of the second connecting seat 47, thereby facilitating the first camera 43 to be arranged in the tilt direction, so that the first camera 43 can capture the shadow of the glass crack in the tilted state, avoiding the problem that the first camera 43 cannot capture the corresponding vertical deviation of the glass crack in the 10° to 15° range when in the vertical state, thus improving the detection effect of the glass edge inspection device 100.

[0040] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 46 is provided with a first through hole 46a and an arc-shaped hole 46b; the arc-shaped hole 46b is disposed on one side of the first through hole 46a; the first through hole 46a is used for a first screw to pass through; the arc-shaped hole 46b is used for a second screw to pass through; the second connecting seat 47 is provided with a first threaded hole 47a and a second threaded hole 47b; the second threaded hole 47b is exposed in the arc-shaped hole 46b and can be arranged relative to different positions in the arc-shaped hole 46b; the first screw passes through the first through hole 46a and is screwed into the first threaded hole 47a; the second screw passes through the arc-shaped hole 46b and is screwed into the second threaded hole 47b, so that the first screw and the second screw can cooperate to strengthen the connection strength of the second connecting seat 47 relative to the first connecting seat 46. When the first screw and the second screw are disengaged from the outer surface of the first connecting seat 46, the second connecting seat 47 can be angularly adjusted relative to the first connecting seat 46. After adjustment, the first screw and the second screw are locked relative to the first connecting seat 46 to maintain the angle of the second connecting seat 47 relative to the first connecting seat 46 unchanged.

The third screw passes through the first elongated hole 48a and is screwed into the third threaded hole 49a, so that the third screw can fix the fourth connecting seat 49 and the third connecting seat 48. When the position of the first elongated hole 48a relative to the third screw is adjusted, the position of the fourth connecting seat 49 relative to the third connecting seat 48 can be adjusted.
