This structure realizes the function of facilitating the enhancement of inspection accuracy. By incorporating a conveyor, support plate, pusher plate, and pusher cylinder, the product packaging undergoes visual inspection via an inspection rack. The visual detector can then identify products that do not meet packaging standards. Once a non-compliant package is detected, the main controller activates the pusher cylinder, which in turn pushes the pusher plate to eject the non-compliant package from the conveyor. This structure facilitates easy sorting and unloading. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an automated product packaging inspection device, comprising a conveyor 1, two sets of fixing plates 2 fixedly connected to the top left side of the conveyor 1, an adjusting rod 3 provided at the top of the fixing plate 2, a fixing bolt 4 provided at the left side of the front end of the fixing plate 2, a height limiting plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting rod 3, an adjusting screw 6 internally threadedly connected to the fixing plate 2, a limit plate 7 movably connected to the end of the adjusting screw 6, an inspection frame 8 fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor 1, and a visual detector fixedly installed at the top of the inspection frame 8. 9. A main controller 10 is fixedly installed at the front end of the inspection frame 8. The front and rear ends of the inspection frame 8 are fixedly connected to the mounting slides 15. An industrial inspection camera 17 can be detachably installed on both the mounting slides 15 and the top of the inspection frame 8. A fixed light source 18 is fixedly installed on the mounting slides 15. An adjustable light source 16 is slidably connected above the fixed light source 18. A support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the top right side of the conveyor 1. A pusher cylinder 13 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the support plate 11. A pusher plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pusher cylinder 13. The bottom end of the adjusting rod 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 2. The fixing bolt 4 rotates through the fixed plate 2 and is embedded inside the adjusting rod 3. Two sets of limiting plates 7 are provided, and the limiting plates 7 can form a "Y" shaped channel. Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the product packaging is transported in the center position on the conveyor 1, the limiting plate 7 on the conveyor 1 can correct the misaligned packaging. The spacing of the limiting plate 7 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 6. After the limiting plate 7 is adjusted to a suitable spacing, since the limiting plate 7 has an inclined angle, both sets of limiting plates 7 at the front and rear ends are tilted outward at 45°. During the movement, the packaging can be adjusted to the center position along the inclined side. The height limit plate 5 can prevent excessively tall packaging from entering the interior of the inspection frame 8.

[0019] The vision detector 9 is electrically connected to the industrial inspection camera 17, the main controller 10 is electrically connected to the vision detector 9 and the pusher cylinder 13, the drive motor 14 is fixedly installed on the right side of the rear end of the conveyor 1, and the pusher plate 12 is set above the conveyor belt of the conveyor 1, with the bottom end of the pusher plate 12 in contact with the top of the conveyor belt of the conveyor 1. Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the product packaging undergoes appearance inspection by the inspection rack 8, the vision detector 9 can detect products that do not meet the packaging standards. Once a non-compliant package is detected, the main controller 10 controls the pusher cylinder 13 to start. The pusher cylinder 13 can push the pusher plate 12, which pushes the non-compliant package being transported on the conveyor 1 out.

[0020] An adjusting slider 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting light source 16. A locking bolt 20 is threaded onto the adjusting slider 19. The adjusting light source 16 is installed on the side of the mounting slide 15. The adjusting slider 19 is slidably connected to the outside of the mounting slide 15. The locking bolt 20 is embedded inside the mounting slide 15. Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, industrial inspection cameras 17 are installed in three positions inside the inspection frame 8. The industrial inspection cameras 17 can inspect the produced packaging and capture minute defects. During inspection, adjusting the light source 16 and fixing the light source 18 can improve the inspection effect. The illumination position of the light source 16 can be adjusted according to the requirements. During adjustment, the adjusting slider 19 on the light source 16 slides on the mounting slide 15, and then it can be fixed and locked with the locking bolt 20.

[0021] Working principle: The packaging moves on conveyor 1 for inspection. To ensure the product packaging is centered on conveyor 1, the limiting plate 7 on conveyor 1 corrects any misaligned packaging. The spacing of the limiting plate 7 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 6. After the limiting plate 7 is adjusted to a suitable spacing, due to its tilt angle, the packaging can be adjusted to the center position along the inclined side during movement. The height limiting plate 5 prevents excessively tall packaging from entering the inspection frame 8. Subsequently, the industrial inspection camera 17 on the inspection frame 8 inspects the appearance of the product packaging, and the inspection images and data are transmitted to the visual inspection system. The internal analysis of the detector 9 is performed, and the industrial inspection camera 17 can capture minute defects. During inspection, adjusting the light source 16 and fixing the light source 18 can improve the inspection effect. The illumination position of the light source 16 can be adjusted according to the needs. After the product packaging undergoes appearance inspection by the inspection rack 8, the vision detector 9 can detect products that do not meet the packaging standards. Once a non-standard package is detected, the main controller 10 controls the pusher cylinder 13 to start. The pusher cylinder 13 can push the pusher plate 12, which pushes the non-standard package transported on the conveyor 1 out. This structure realizes the function of easy classification and unloading.
