[0009] (One embodiment) To explain the central idea disclosed in the above invention content, specific embodiments will be used below. To better explain the principle of the present invention, these embodiments will be described using a specific language. However, it is clear that this does not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0010] Those skilled in the relevant technical fields may be able to conceive and further make various modifications including the technical features of the present invention and all applications of the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and applications are also included in the scope of the present invention. Also, considering readability, some parts of the components are omitted in the drawings, or are drawn using methods such as phantom lines.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the integrated supply inspection facility 100 of the present invention includes a table 10, a turntable 20, a guide plate 30, an appearance inspection device 40, and a classification and collection device 50.

[0012] The table 10 has a table surface 11, and on the side close to the front of the table surface 11 (the side close to the operator), it has an electronic control unit 12 to control the operation of the integrated supply inspection facility 100.

[0013] The turntable 20 is a disk and is rotatably installed on the table 10. As shown in FIG. 3, at the center of the turntable 20, there are a fixed part 21 and a rotating part 22 surrounding the periphery of the fixed part 21. The material of the rotating part 22 is glass. The turntable 20 is driven by a drive motor (not shown) located inside the table 10 and rotates.

[0014] The guide plate 30 is installed on the table 10 and is located above the turntable 20. The guide plate 30 has an inlet 31 to input a plurality of materials 1 onto the turntable 20. In an embodiment of the present invention, it further has a stand frame 60 installed on a table 10. One side of the guide plate 30 is fixed to the stand frame 60. The opposite side of the guide plate 30 is fixed to the fixing portion 21. As shown in FIG. 3, both sides of the guide plate 30 are fixed to the fixing portion 21 and the stand frame 60 by fixing members 70 and 71, respectively. A hopper (not shown) is connected to the inlet 31. The area where the guide plate 30 shields the turntable 20 is smaller than half of the area of the turntable 20.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide plate 30 has a guide set 32 facing the turntable 20. The guide set 32 does not contact the turntable 20 and guides the materials 1 to be arranged in order. In an embodiment of the present invention, the guide set 32 has one central guide member 321, three inner guide members 322, and two outer guide members 323. The central guide member 321 faces the central position of the turntable 20, the outer guide member 323 faces the outside of the turntable 20, and the inner guide member 322 is located between the central guide member 321 and the outer guide member 323.

[0016] Thereby, through the rotation of the turntable 20, the material 1 is guided by the guide set 32, aligned and arranged in order, sent forward along the annular route, and the appearance inspection operation is performed by the appearance inspection device 40, and the collection operation by the classification collection device 50 is performed.

[0017] The present invention further has a first sorting blow nozzle 80 and a second sorting blow nozzle 81. The first sorting blow nozzle 80 is attached to the guide plate 30, away from the edge of the turntable 20. For example, the first sorting blow nozzle 80 is adjacent to one inner guiding member 322 and blows air toward the center of the turntable 20. Thereby, the materials 1 are arranged and advanced along the contour of the central guiding member 321 in sequence. The second sorting blow nozzle 81 is attached to the guide plate 30, adjacent to the edge of the turntable 20, and blows air toward the center of the turntable 20.

[0018] An opening 33 adjacent to one outer guiding member 323 is provided outside the guide plate 30. Thereby, the second sorting blow nozzle 81 blows air toward the center of the turntable 20 through the opening 33. In this way, the advancement of the materials 1 in the annular route is maintained, and the detachment of the materials 1 from the turntable 20 can be avoided.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the appearance inspection device 40 is installed on the table surface 11 of the table 10 and is located at the periphery of the turntable 20 to perform an appearance inspection on the materials 1. The number of the appearance inspection devices 40 is adjusted and installed as required. When there are a large number of appearance inspection devices 40, they are arranged at intervals along the annular route, the images of the materials 1 are captured, and the appearance inspection is performed.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the classification and collection device 50 is installed on the table surface 11 of the table 10 and is located at the periphery of the turntable 20. Based on the inspection results of the appearance inspection device 40, the materials 1 are classified and collected. By installing the classification and collection device 50 on the appearance inspection device 40, the qualified materials 1 and the unqualified materials 1 are classified and collected. The images of the materials 1 captured by the appearance inspection device 40 are used by a program to determine whether the materials 1 are qualified or not, and the determination results are provided to the classification and collection device 50 for classification and collection.

[0021] Taking the above into consideration, the present invention integrates the supply function and the inspection function closely within the equipment, enabling a single turntable to have the dual functions of a supply turntable and an inspection turntable, simplifying the operation and enhancing the efficiency. Compared with the conventional method of installing the supply and inspection facilities separately, the present invention can save the required space and the use of corresponding components. At the same time, by integrating the levels of the supply turntable and the inspection turntable integrally, the user does not need to perform separate independent level adjustment steps, further saving time and operation costs.

[0022] Although the present invention has been described with respect to the optimal embodiment, those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0023] The above-described embodiments of the present invention do not limit the present invention. Therefore, the scope protected by the present invention is based on the scope of the claims described hereinafter.
