Description

檢查設備Inspection equipment

本發明係關於一種檢查設備,且特別係關於一種外觀檢查設備。The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus, and in particular to an appearance inspection apparatus.

一般的電子元件在製作完成後通常會進行外觀的檢查,以檢查電子元件的表面是否有破裂或磨損等等。傳統的檢查方式係由檢查人員利用顯微鏡來觀看電子元件的其中一表面,待該表面檢查完成後檢測人員再翻轉電子元件以觀看電子元件的另一表面。由於每個電子元件都具有多個表面,這樣的方式勢必會浪費許多時間。
為了改善這個問題,部分廠商開發出一種電子元件的外觀檢查設備。一般來說,外觀檢查設備包含一轉盤及多個影像擷取裝置。這些影像擷取裝置係設置於轉盤的周遭,且各個影像擷取裝置的鏡頭分別面對不同方向。當電子元件被傳送到轉盤上時,會跟著轉盤轉動而依序到達各個影像擷取裝置的影像擷取範圍內,如此一來,這些影像擷取裝置即可分別擷取電子元件上各個表面的影像。
外觀檢查設備通常係利用振動盤來將電子元件傳送到轉盤上。然而,這樣的傳送方式並不穩定,常常會造成電子元件之間的間距及速度不相等,進而影響影像擷取裝置所擷取到的畫面。
General electronic components are usually inspected for appearance after fabrication to check for cracks or wear on the surface of the electronic components. The conventional inspection method is that the inspector uses a microscope to view one surface of the electronic component, and after the surface inspection is completed, the inspector flips the electronic component to view the other surface of the electronic component. Since each electronic component has multiple surfaces, such a method is bound to waste a lot of time.
In order to improve this problem, some manufacturers have developed an appearance inspection device for electronic components. Generally, the visual inspection device includes a turntable and a plurality of image capturing devices. The image capturing devices are disposed around the turntable, and the lenses of the respective image capturing devices face different directions. When the electronic component is transmitted to the turntable, it will follow the turntable to sequentially reach the image capturing range of each image capturing device, so that the image capturing devices can respectively capture the respective surfaces of the electronic component. image.
Visual inspection equipment typically uses a vibrating plate to transfer electronic components to the turntable. However, such a transmission method is not stable, and the spacing and speed between the electronic components are often unequal, thereby affecting the image captured by the image capturing device.

有鑑於此,本發明之一目的係在於提供一種檢查設備,其可使待檢查物以較為均等的間距及速度傳送到旋轉裝置上。
為了達到上述目的,依據本發明之一實施方式,一種檢查設備包含一旋轉裝置、一供料裝置、一供料控制裝置以及複數影像擷取裝置。旋轉裝置包含一可控旋轉元件以及一承載單元。承載單元可為一圓盤、一圓環狀盤或複數扇形環狀盤,用於承載待檢查物。可控旋轉元件係用以控制承載單元旋轉。供料裝置係用以朝旋轉裝置傳送待檢查物。供料控制裝置係設置於供料裝置及旋轉裝置之間,用以將待檢查物間斷的傳送到旋轉裝置上。多個影像擷取裝置分別從不同角度擷取位於旋轉裝置之待檢查物之影像。於上述實施方式中,檢查設備可利用供料控制裝置暫時阻擋待檢查物送到旋轉裝置上,當這些待檢查物被阻擋時,會密集地排列於供料裝置的末端。如此一來,當供料控制裝置停止阻擋後,這些密集排列的待檢查物會以均等的間距及速度送到旋轉裝置上,從而克服習知技術中間距及速度不均的問題。
以上所述僅係用以闡述本發明所欲解決的問題、解決問題的技術手段、及其產生的功效等等,本發明之具體細節將在下文的實施方式及相關圖式中詳細介紹。
In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an inspection apparatus that allows an object to be inspected to be conveyed to a rotating device at a relatively uniform pitch and speed.
In order to achieve the above object, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an inspection apparatus includes a rotating device, a feeding device, a feeding control device, and a plurality of image capturing devices. The rotating device includes a controllable rotating element and a carrying unit. The carrying unit can be a disc, a circular disc or a plurality of fan-shaped annular discs for carrying the object to be inspected. The controllable rotating element is used to control the rotation of the carrying unit. The feeding device is for conveying the object to be inspected toward the rotating device. The feeding control device is disposed between the feeding device and the rotating device for intermittently transferring the object to be inspected to the rotating device. The plurality of image capturing devices respectively capture images of the object to be inspected located in the rotating device from different angles. In the above embodiment, the inspection device can temporarily block the object to be inspected from being sent to the rotating device by using the feeding control device, and when the objects to be inspected are blocked, they are densely arranged at the end of the feeding device. In this way, when the feeding control device stops blocking, the densely arranged objects to be inspected are sent to the rotating device at equal intervals and speeds, thereby overcoming the problem of uneven pitch and speed in the prior art.
The above description is only for explaining the problems to be solved by the present invention, the technical means for solving the problems, the effects thereof, and the like, and the specific details of the present invention will be described in detail in the following embodiments and related drawings.

以下將以圖式揭露本發明之複數實施方式,為明確說明起見,許多實務上的細節將在以下敘述中一併說明。然而,熟悉本領域之技術人員應當瞭解到,在本發明部分實施方式中,這些實務上的細節並非必要的,因此不應用以限制本發明。此外,為簡化圖式起見,一些習知慣用的結構與元件在圖式中將以簡單示意的方式繪示之。
第1圖繪示依據本發明一實施方式之檢查設備之俯視圖。如圖所示,本實施方式之檢查設備可包含一旋轉裝置100、一供料裝置200、一供料控制裝置300以及複數影像擷取裝置400。供料裝置200係用以朝旋轉裝置100傳送待檢查物700。供料控制裝置300係設置於供料裝置200及旋轉裝置100之間,其係用以將待檢查物700間斷的傳送到旋轉裝置100上。多個影像擷取裝置400分別從不同角度擷取位於旋轉裝置100之待檢查物700之影像。
本說明書全文所述之「將待檢查物700間斷的傳送到旋轉裝置100上」係代表可暫時阻擋,也可暫時允許待檢查物700被傳送到旋轉裝置100上。也就是說,供料控制裝置300在某些時刻下可阻擋供料裝置200將待檢查物700送到旋轉裝置100上,在某些時刻下可允許供料裝置200將待檢查物700送到旋轉裝置100上。當供料控制裝置300暫時阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作時,會使多個待檢查物700緊湊地排列於供料裝置200的末端。如此一來,當供料控制裝置300停止阻擋後,這些緊湊排列的待檢查物700可在均等的間距及速度下,被送到旋轉裝置100上。
旋轉裝置100可包含一可控旋轉元件120以及一承載單元11。可控旋旋轉元件120係用以控制承載單元11旋轉。於本實施方式中,承載單元11為複數扇形環狀盤110。任兩個扇形環狀盤110係以一間隔130互相分離,且這些扇形環狀盤110係被可控旋轉元件120驅動而同軸旋轉。也就是說,扇形環狀盤110係互相分開地設置於可控旋轉元件120上,且當扇形環狀盤110係被可控旋轉元件120驅動時,均係以可控旋轉元件120的中心線為轉軸來旋轉。
於本實施方式中,供料控制裝置300係依據一第一資料阻檔供料裝置200傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上,並依據一第二資料開通使供料裝置200傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上。於部分實施方式中,上述第一資料與第二資料可為即時偵測數據,此即時偵測數據係為即時偵測間隔130的前端132與後端134(可參閱第2A至2C圖)位置所得之數據。舉例來說,可參閱第2A至2C圖,其繪示當第1圖中的旋轉裝置100旋轉時,眼睛所觀察到檢查設備在各個暫態下的側視圖。如第2A至2C圖所示,供料控制裝置300可電性連接至一縫隙感知器800,此縫隙感知器800可位在供料裝置200的出口202下方,用以即時偵測間隔130是否移動到供料裝置200的出口202下方。具體來說,當縫隙感知器800感知到間隔130的前端132已抵達出口202下方時(如第2B圖所示),可產生第一資料而命令供料控制裝置300阻擋待檢查物700被傳送至旋轉裝置100上,從而使位於供料裝置200末端的待檢查物700排列緊湊。當縫隙感知器800感知到間隔130的後端134通過出口202下方時(如第2C圖所示),可產生第二資料而命令供料控制裝置300開通使供料裝置200傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上。此時,由於位於供料裝置200末端的待檢查物700是緊湊排列的,故供料裝置200得以均等的間距及速度傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上。由上述可知,縫隙感知器800所感知到的即時偵測數據可用來做為第一資料及第二資料,供料控制裝置300可根據此第一資料及第二資料,將待檢查物700間斷的傳送到旋轉裝置100上。如此不僅能夠讓多個待檢查物700緊湊地排列於供料裝置200的末端,使待檢查物700可以均等的間距及速度傳送至旋轉裝置100上,還可避免待檢查物700落入間隔130中而損壞。
於部分實施方式中,縫隙感知器800可為反射式光學感測器,其可朝上方放射光線,當扇形環狀盤110a係位於縫隙感知器800上方時(如第2A圖所示),縫隙感知器800所放射的光線會被反射,此時縫隙感知器800可命令供料控制裝置300不阻擋(亦即,開通)供料裝置200的傳送工作。當可控旋轉元件120旋轉而使間隔130的前端132移動到供料裝置200的出口202下方時(如第2B圖所示),縫隙感知器800所放射的光線不會被反射,此時縫隙感知器800可產生第一資料而命令供料控制裝置300阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。當可控旋轉元件120旋轉而使間隔130的後端134通過縫隙感知器800上方時(如第2C圖所示),扇形環狀盤110b會被移動至縫隙感知器800上方而反射縫隙感知器800所放射的光線,此時縫隙感知器800可產生第二資料而命令供料控制裝置300停止阻擋(亦即,開通)供料裝置200的傳送工作。舉例來說,扇形環狀盤110a為可擋紅外線之材料所形成,而縫隙感知器800係放射出紅外線之反射式光學感測器,如此便能實現感知間隔130的效果。
於部分實施方式中,亦可採用對照式光學感測器、近接開關或壓感開關等取代上述的反射式光學感測器,以即時偵測供料裝置200的出口202下方是否為間隔130。應瞭解到,上述之反射式光學感測器、對照式光學感測器、近接開關或壓感開關僅係用以例示,而非限制本發明。實務上,任何可感測空隙之裝置均可用來偵測供料裝置200的出口202下方是否為間隔130。
於部分實施方式中,即時偵測數據亦可由一角度編碼器來提供,此角度編碼器係設置於可控旋轉元件120中,其可定義出可控旋轉元件120上各個元件所在的角度,從而可即時偵測間隔130在不同時刻下於可控旋轉元件120上的角度。舉例來說,在第1圖中,供料裝置200的出口202係位於角度編碼器所定義的350度,當可控旋轉元件120旋轉而使任一間隔130的前端132(可參閱第2A至2C圖)的角度改變為350度時,角度編碼器可產生第一資料以命令供料控制裝置300阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。當可控旋轉元件120旋轉而使該間隔130的後端134(可參閱第2A至2C圖)的角度改變為350度時,角度編碼器可產生第二資料以命令供料控制裝置300開通使供料裝置200傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上。
供料控制裝置300除了可根據上述各種即時偵測數據來間斷的傳送待檢查物700外,亦可根據時間、數量、轉速、角度或基於前述資料的計算數值等等來實現,以下列舉多個實施方式以茲說明。
於部分實施方式中,供料控制裝置300可內嵌或電性連接至一計時器,計時器可在供料裝置200傳送待檢查物700一定時間後(例如15秒鐘),產生第一資料以命令供料控制裝置300阻擋供料裝置200一段時間(例如1秒鐘),待該段時間(例如1秒鐘)過後,計時器可產生第二資料以命令供料控制裝置300停止阻擋(亦即,開通)供料裝置200的傳送工作,而使被阻擋的待檢查物700送到旋轉裝置100上。如此一來,計時器所產生的時間資料可用來做為第一資料與第二資料,而供料控制裝置300可根據此第一資料與第二資料,間斷的傳送待檢查物700。於部分實施方式中,上述時間可為使用者預先設定的預設值。
於部分實施方式中,此計時器可根據扇形環狀盤110a及110b的弧長所對應的圓心角除以可控旋轉元件120的轉速所得到的時間值(例如15秒鐘),來產生第一資料,而命令供料控制裝置300在經過該時間值(例如15秒鐘)後,阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。另外,計時器亦可根據間隔130之寬度D所對應的圓心角除以可控旋轉元件120的轉速所得到的時間值(例如1秒鐘),來產生第二資料,而命令供料控制裝置300停止阻擋(亦即,開通)供料裝置200的傳送工作。如此一來,供料控制裝置300可將基於角度及轉速所計算出來的時間值用來做為第一資料及第二資料,以間斷的傳送待檢查物700。於部分實施方式中,上述可控旋轉元件120的轉速可為使用者預先設定的預設值。
於部分實施方式中,供料控制裝置300可內嵌或電性連接至一計數器,其可在供料裝置200傳送出若干待檢查物700後(例如10個),產生第一資料,以阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。待一段時間後,計數器可產生第二資料,以開通使供料裝置200繼續傳送待檢查物700至旋轉裝置100上。如此一來,供料控制裝置300可將計數器所偵測到的待檢查物700之數量用來做為第一資料及第二資料,以間斷的傳送待檢查物700。於部分實施方式中,上述待檢查物700的數量可為使用者預先設定的預設值。
於部分實施方式中,供料控制裝置300可直接擋住供料裝置200之出口202,以阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。舉例來說,供料控制裝置300可包含一閘門機構310以及一固定座320。固定座320係固定於外部結構上,閘門機構310係設置於固定座320上,且閘門機構310可相對固定座320上下移動。如第2A圖所示,當閘門機構310往上移動而暴露出供料裝置200的出口202時,供料裝置200可將待檢查物700傳送至旋轉裝置100上。如第2B圖所示,當閘門機構310往下移動而擋住供料裝置200的出口202時,閘門機構310可阻擋供料裝置200的傳送工作。
於部分實施方式中,閘門機構310的動作可透過供電及斷電的方式來實現,舉例來說,當閘門機構310通電時,其可維持在可暴露出供料裝置200的出口202的位置(如第2A圖所示),當閘門機構310斷電時,其可自由落下而擋住供料裝置200的出口202(如第2B圖所示)。
第3圖繪示依據本發明另一實施方式之檢查設備之側視圖。本實施方式與第2A圖之主要差異係在於:本實施方式之供料控制裝置300a的閘門機構310a係設置於供料裝置200之出口202的正上方。如此一來,當閘門機構310a往下移動時,其可直接壓住位於出口202的待檢查物700,從而阻擋待檢查物700被傳送至旋轉裝置100上。
第4圖繪示依據本發明又一實施方式之供料裝置200與供料控制裝置300b之俯視圖。本實施方式與第2A圖之主要差異係在於:本實施方式之供料控制裝置300b可為一吸附裝置,其係設置於供料裝置200內部靠近出口202處,用以吸住位於出口202的待檢查物700,使其無法繼續前進,從而阻擋待檢查物700被傳送至旋轉裝置100(可參閱第3圖)上。於部分實施方式中,吸附裝置可為一吸盤或一真空裝置,但不以此為限。
應瞭解到,第2A、3及4圖中所示的供料控制裝置300、300a及300b僅係用以例示,而非限制本發明。實務上,任何可將待檢查物700阻擋在偵測供料裝置200的出口202之裝置或機構都可用來將待檢查物700間斷的傳送至旋轉裝置100上。
於部分實施方式中,如第1圖所示,供料裝置200可包含一直軌210以及一送料機220。供料控制裝置300係位於直軌210與旋轉裝置100之間,故供料控制裝置300可將待檢查物700擋止於直軌210中。直軌210上遠離供料控制裝置300之一端係連通送料機220,以利送料機220將待檢查物700傳送至直軌210上。
於部分實施方式中,如第4圖所示,直軌210可包含一軌道槽212,待檢查物700係在軌道槽212中進行傳送。軌道槽212之寬度W1可略大於待檢查物700之寬度W2,而小於待檢查物700的兩倍寬度2×W2。如此一來,當供料控制裝置300阻擋軌道槽212中的待檢查物700前進時,這些待檢查物700可密集且毗鄰地在軌道槽212中排成一列,而不會互相碰撞。
第5A圖及第5B圖繪示依據本發明又一實施方式之檢查設備的側視圖。如圖所示,間隔130的寬度D係大於待檢查物700a之長度L。如此一來,當待檢查物700a被直軌210卡住時(如第5A圖所示),只需等間隔130移動至待檢查物700a下方後,待檢查物700a就會受重力吸引而落入間隔130下方(如第5B圖所示),而不會繼續卡在直軌210下而磨損扇形環狀盤110b。也就是說,即使待檢查物700a被直軌210卡住(如第5A圖所示),也只有扇形環狀盤110a可能會被磨損,扇形環狀盤110b則不會受影響。
第6A及6B圖繪示依據本發明另一實施方式之旋轉裝置100之俯視圖。如第6A及第6B圖所示,扇形環狀盤110、110a及110b係可沿著可控旋轉元件120之頂面122的徑向方向所移動。具體來說,可控旋轉元件120可具有複數鎖固槽142,其可供複數鎖固件140將扇形環狀盤110、110a或110b壓在可控旋轉元件120上,且鎖固件140係插入鎖固槽142中並可移動於鎖固槽142中。其中,鎖固槽142係開設於可控旋轉元件120之頂面122。在平行於頂面122的方向上,鎖固槽142的截面積係大於鎖固件140的截面積。如此一來,鎖固件140可在鎖固槽142中移動,而帶動扇形環狀盤110、110a或110b沿著可控旋轉元件120之頂面122的徑向方向所移動。
於第6A圖中,旋轉裝置100上具有一移動路徑150,此移動路徑150係代表待檢查物700(如第5A及5B圖所示)在旋轉裝置100上所行經的路徑。當待檢查物700a被直軌210卡住時(如第5A圖所示),可能會在扇形環狀盤110a上造成刮痕152(如第6A圖所示)。如第6B圖所示,當刮痕152形成後,僅需將扇形環狀盤110a沿著可控旋轉元件120之頂面122的徑向方向朝外移動,使得刮痕152離開移動路徑150,如此即可避免後續傳送至扇形環狀盤110a的待檢查物700接觸到刮痕152。當然,扇形環狀盤110a亦可朝內移動以使刮痕152離開移動路徑150。
第7A圖繪示依據本發明另一實施方式之旋轉裝置100之俯視圖。本實施方式與第6A及6B圖之主要差異係在於:本實施方式之鎖固件140a係緊配於鎖固槽142a中,以將扇形環狀盤110固定於可控旋轉元件120上,也就是說,鎖固件140a可將承載單元11(可參閱第1圖)固定於可控旋轉元件120上。鎖固件140a係可拆卸的,舉例來說,鎖固件140a與鎖固槽142a可利用拴附的方式來實現緊配的效果,而當使用者欲更換任一扇形環狀盤110時,僅需旋轉鎖固件140a,使其鬆脫於鎖固槽142a,即可拆卸扇形環狀盤110。鎖固件140a與鎖固槽142a可分別為螺絲及螺孔,但不以此為限。
於第7A圖中,扇形環狀盤110之數量係繪示為三個,但實務上,扇形環狀盤110的數量並不以此為限,其亦可為四個(如第7B圖所示)、五個(如第7C圖所示)或其他數量。由於單一扇形環狀盤110的面積比一般圓盤更小,故可降低長途或跨國運送上的保存難度,還可避免運送過程發生破裂等問題。此外,由於拆裝圓盤必須移動影像擷取裝置400(可參閱第1圖)的位置,導致影像擷取裝置400需要重新校正,十分費時與不便。但採用單一扇形環狀盤110時,可先將所欲更換的扇形環狀盤110移動至沒有影像擷取裝置400的位置後再進行更換,故比更換整個圓盤更為容易。另外,當其中一扇形環狀盤110損壞時,僅需更換該損壞之扇形環狀盤110,而無須更換整個圓盤,故可減少材料成本。
第8圖繪示依據本發明又一實施方式之旋轉裝置100之剖面圖。如第8圖所示,扇形環狀盤112係設置於可控旋轉元件120上,且沿著由可控旋轉元件120之邊緣124往可控旋轉元件120之中心126的方向朝下傾斜。如此一來,當可控旋轉元件120高速旋轉時,這些傾斜的扇形環狀盤112可提高待檢查物700的向心力,而使待檢查物700免於被甩出扇形環狀盤112外,故本實施方式可應用於高轉速的可控旋轉元件120,從而提高工作效率。
於部分實施方式中,扇形環狀盤112的傾斜設置可由兩個長短不同的鎖固件170及180所實現。具體來說,鎖固件180比鎖固件170更長,故可將扇形環狀盤112頂起而使其呈傾斜狀。另外,鎖固件180所在的位置係比鎖固件170更靠近可控旋轉元件120之邊緣124,故可使扇形環狀盤112由可控旋轉元件120之邊緣124往可控旋轉元件120之中心126的方向朝下傾斜。
第9圖繪示依據本發明再一實施方式之旋轉裝置100之剖面圖。本實施方式與第8圖之主要差異係在於本實施方式係利用墊片190來使扇形環狀盤112傾斜,而非利用長短不同的鎖固件170及180。具體來說,墊片190可墊在可控旋轉元件120的頂面122上靠近邊緣124處,如此便可將扇形環狀盤112頂起,而使扇形環狀盤112由可控旋轉元件120之邊緣124往可控旋轉元件120之中心126的方向朝下傾斜。

The embodiments of the present invention are disclosed in the following drawings, and for the purpose of clarity However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the details of the invention are not essential to the details of the invention. In addition, some of the conventional structures and elements are shown in the drawings in a simplified schematic manner in order to simplify the drawings.
1 is a plan view of an inspection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the inspection apparatus of the present embodiment may include a rotating device 100, a feeding device 200, a feeding control device 300, and a plurality of image capturing devices 400. The feeding device 200 is for transmitting the object to be inspected 700 toward the rotating device 100. The supply control device 300 is disposed between the feeding device 200 and the rotating device 100 for intermittently transferring the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100. The plurality of image capturing devices 400 respectively capture images of the object to be inspected 700 located in the rotating device 100 from different angles.
The "transmission of the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100" as described throughout the specification means that it can be temporarily blocked, or the object to be inspected 700 can be temporarily allowed to be transferred to the rotating device 100. That is to say, the feeding control device 300 can block the feeding device 200 from sending the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100 at some time, and at some time, the feeding device 200 can be allowed to send the object to be inspected 700. Rotating device 100. When the supply control device 300 temporarily blocks the conveying operation of the feeding device 200, a plurality of articles to be inspected 700 are compactly arranged at the end of the feeding device 200. In this way, after the supply control device 300 stops blocking, the compactly arranged objects to be inspected 700 can be sent to the rotating device 100 at equal intervals and speeds.
The rotating device 100 can include a controllable rotating element 120 and a carrier unit 11. The controllable rotary rotating element 120 is used to control the rotation of the carrying unit 11. In the present embodiment, the carrying unit 11 is a plurality of sector-shaped annular disks 110. Any two sector-shaped annular discs 110 are separated from each other by a space 130, and these sector-shaped annular discs 110 are driven to rotate coaxially by the controllable rotating element 120. That is, the sector-shaped annular discs 110 are disposed separately from each other on the controllable rotating element 120, and when the sector-shaped annular disk 110 is driven by the controllable rotating element 120, the centerline of the controllable rotating element 120 is used. Rotate for the axis of rotation.
In the present embodiment, the feeding control device 300 transmits the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100 according to a first data barrier feeding device 200, and causes the feeding device 200 to transmit the object to be inspected according to a second data opening. 700 to the rotating device 100. In some embodiments, the first data and the second data may be real-time detection data, and the real-time detection data is the front end 132 and the rear end 134 of the instant detection interval 130 (see FIGS. 2A to 2C). The data obtained. For example, reference can be made to Figures 2A through 2C, which show a side view of the inspection apparatus under various transients as seen by the eye when the rotary device 100 of Figure 1 is rotated. As shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C, the feed control device 300 can be electrically connected to a gap sensor 800. The gap sensor 800 can be located below the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200 for detecting whether the interval 130 is instantaneous. It moves below the outlet 202 of the feeder 200. Specifically, when the gap sensor 800 senses that the front end 132 of the gap 130 has reached the outlet 202 (as shown in FIG. 2B), the first data may be generated and the feed control device 300 is commanded to block the inspection object 700 from being transmitted. The rotating device 100 is placed so that the object to be inspected 700 located at the end of the feeding device 200 is compactly arranged. When the gap sensor 800 senses that the rear end 134 of the gap 130 passes under the outlet 202 (as shown in FIG. 2C), the second data may be generated to command the feed control device 300 to be turned on to cause the feeding device 200 to transfer the object to be inspected 700. To the rotating device 100. At this time, since the object to be inspected 700 at the end of the feeding device 200 is compactly arranged, the feeding device 200 can transfer the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100 at an even pitch and speed. It can be seen that the real-time detection data perceived by the slot sensor 800 can be used as the first data and the second data, and the feeding control device 300 can interrupt the object to be inspected 700 according to the first data and the second data. Transfer to the rotating device 100. In this way, not only can the plurality of objects to be inspected 700 be compactly arranged at the end of the feeding device 200, but the objects to be inspected 700 can be transported to the rotating device 100 at equal intervals and speeds, and the object to be inspected 700 can be prevented from falling into the space 130. Damaged in the middle.
In some embodiments, the gap sensor 800 can be a reflective optical sensor that can emit light upwards, when the sector-shaped annular disk 110a is positioned above the gap sensor 800 (as shown in FIG. 2A), the slit The light emitted by the sensor 800 is reflected, and the gap sensor 800 can command the feed control device 300 not to block (ie, turn on) the transfer operation of the supply device 200. When the controllable rotating element 120 rotates to move the front end 132 of the gap 130 below the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200 (as shown in FIG. 2B), the light emitted by the slitter 800 is not reflected, and the gap is now The sensor 800 can generate the first data and command the feed control device 300 to block the transfer operation of the supply device 200. When the controllable rotary element 120 is rotated such that the rear end 134 of the gap 130 passes over the gap sensor 800 (as shown in FIG. 2C), the sector-shaped annular disk 110b is moved over the gap sensor 800 and the reflective gap sensor The light emitted by the 800, at which time the gap sensor 800 can generate the second data and command the feed control device 300 to stop blocking (ie, opening) the transfer operation of the feeding device 200. For example, the sector-shaped annular disk 110a is formed of a material that blocks infrared rays, and the gap sensor 800 is a reflective optical sensor that emits infrared rays, so that the effect of the sensing interval 130 can be achieved.
In some embodiments, a reflective optical sensor, a proximity switch, or a pressure sensitive switch may be used instead of the reflective optical sensor to instantly detect whether the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200 is at an interval 130. It should be understood that the above-described reflective optical sensor, contrast optical sensor, proximity switch or pressure sensitive switch are merely illustrative and not limiting. In practice, any device that senses the gap can be used to detect if there is an interval 130 below the outlet 202 of the feeder device 200.
In some embodiments, the instantaneous detection data may also be provided by an angle encoder disposed in the controllable rotating element 120, which defines the angle at which the various components of the controllable rotating element 120 are located, thereby The angle of the interval 130 on the controllable rotating element 120 at different times can be detected instantaneously. For example, in Figure 1, the outlet 202 of the feeder 200 is located at 350 degrees as defined by the angle encoder, and the front end 132 of any of the gaps 130 is rotated when the controllable rotating element 120 is rotated (see 2A to When the angle of 2C is changed to 350 degrees, the angle encoder can generate the first data to instruct the feeding control device 300 to block the conveying operation of the feeding device 200. When the controllable rotary element 120 is rotated such that the angle of the rear end 134 of the spacing 130 (see FIGS. 2A-2C) is changed to 350 degrees, the angle encoder can generate a second data to command the feed control device 300 to open. The feeding device 200 transmits the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100.
The feeding control device 300 can realize the intermittent transmission of the object to be inspected 700 according to the various kinds of real-time detection data, and can also be realized according to time, quantity, rotation speed, angle or calculated value based on the foregoing data, etc. The embodiments are described.
In some embodiments, the feeding control device 300 can be embedded or electrically connected to a timer, and the timer can generate the first data after the feeding device 200 transmits the object to be inspected for a certain time (for example, 15 seconds). The feed control device 300 is blocked by the command feed control device 300 for a period of time (for example, 1 second). After the period of time (for example, 1 second), the timer may generate a second data to command the feed control device 300 to stop blocking ( That is, the conveying operation of the feeding device 200 is turned on, and the blocked object to be inspected 700 is sent to the rotating device 100. In this way, the time data generated by the timer can be used as the first data and the second data, and the feeding control device 300 can intermittently transmit the object to be inspected 700 according to the first data and the second data. In some embodiments, the time may be a preset value preset by the user.
In some embodiments, the timer may generate the first time according to the time value (for example, 15 seconds) obtained by dividing the central angle of the arc length of the sector-shaped annular disks 110a and 110b by the rotational speed of the controllable rotating element 120 (for example, 15 seconds). The data is commanded, and the command feeding control device 300 blocks the transfer operation of the feeding device 200 after the time value (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed. In addition, the timer may also generate a second data according to a time value obtained by dividing the central angle corresponding to the width D of the interval 130 by the rotational speed of the controllable rotating element 120 (for example, 1 second), and command the feeding control device. 300 stops blocking (ie, opening) the transfer operation of the feeding device 200. In this way, the feeding control device 300 can use the time value calculated based on the angle and the rotation speed as the first data and the second data to intermittently transmit the object to be inspected 700. In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the controllable rotating element 120 may be a preset value preset by a user.
In some embodiments, the feeding control device 300 can be embedded or electrically connected to a counter, which can generate a first data after the feeding device 200 transmits a plurality of objects to be inspected 700 (for example, 10) to block The conveying operation of the feeding device 200. After a period of time, the counter can generate a second data to enable the feeding device 200 to continue to transport the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100. In this way, the feeding control device 300 can use the quantity of the object to be inspected 700 detected by the counter as the first data and the second data to intermittently transmit the object to be inspected 700. In some embodiments, the number of the objects to be inspected 700 may be a preset value preset by a user.
In some embodiments, the feed control device 300 can directly block the outlet 202 of the feed device 200 to block the transfer operation of the feed device 200. For example, the feed control device 300 can include a shutter mechanism 310 and a mount 320. The fixing base 320 is fixed on the external structure, the shutter mechanism 310 is disposed on the fixing base 320, and the shutter mechanism 310 can move up and down relative to the fixing base 320. As shown in FIG. 2A, when the shutter mechanism 310 is moved upward to expose the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200, the feeding device 200 can transfer the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100. As shown in FIG. 2B, when the shutter mechanism 310 moves downward to block the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200, the shutter mechanism 310 can block the conveying operation of the feeding device 200.
In some embodiments, the action of the shutter mechanism 310 can be achieved by means of powering and powering down. For example, when the shutter mechanism 310 is energized, it can be maintained at a position that can expose the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200 ( As shown in FIG. 2A, when the shutter mechanism 310 is de-energized, it can freely fall to block the outlet 202 of the feeder 200 (as shown in FIG. 2B).
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of an inspection apparatus in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the present embodiment and FIG. 2A is that the shutter mechanism 310a of the supply control device 300a of the present embodiment is disposed directly above the outlet 202 of the feeding device 200. As a result, when the shutter mechanism 310a moves downward, it can directly press the object to be inspected 700 located at the outlet 202, thereby blocking the object to be inspected 700 from being transferred to the rotating device 100.
Fig. 4 is a plan view showing a feeding device 200 and a feeding control device 300b according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the present embodiment and FIG. 2A is that the feeding control device 300b of the present embodiment can be an adsorption device disposed inside the feeding device 200 near the outlet 202 for sucking at the outlet 202. The object to be inspected 700 is prevented from proceeding further, thereby blocking the object to be inspected 700 from being transferred to the rotating device 100 (see Fig. 3). In some embodiments, the adsorption device can be a suction cup or a vacuum device, but is not limited thereto.
It should be understood that the supply control devices 300, 300a, and 300b shown in Figures 2A, 3, and 4 are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting of the invention. In practice, any device or mechanism that can block the object to be inspected 700 at the outlet 202 of the detecting supply device 200 can be used to intermittently transfer the object to be inspected 700 to the rotating device 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the feeding device 200 can include a straight rail 210 and a feeder 220. The supply control device 300 is located between the straight rail 210 and the rotating device 100, so the feeding control device 300 can block the object to be inspected 700 in the straight rail 210. One end of the straight rail 210 remote from the feeding control device 300 is connected to the feeder 220 to facilitate the feeder 220 to convey the object to be inspected 700 to the straight rail 210.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the straight rail 210 may include a track slot 212 into which the object to be inspected 700 is transported. The width W1 of the track groove 212 may be slightly larger than the width W2 of the object to be inspected 700 and less than twice the width 2×W2 of the object to be inspected 700. In this way, when the supply control device 300 blocks the advancement of the object to be inspected in the track groove 212, the objects to be inspected 700 can be densely and adjacently arranged in a row in the track groove 212 without colliding with each other.
5A and 5B are side views showing an inspection apparatus according to still another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the width D of the space 130 is greater than the length L of the object to be inspected 700a. In this way, when the object to be inspected 700a is caught by the straight rail 210 (as shown in FIG. 5A), the object to be inspected 700a is attracted by gravity only after the interval 130 is moved below the object to be inspected 700a. Below the gap 130 (as shown in Figure 5B), the fan-shaped annular disk 110b is worn away without continuing to get stuck under the straight rail 210. That is, even if the object to be inspected 700a is caught by the straight rail 210 (as shown in Fig. 5A), only the sector-shaped annular disk 110a may be worn, and the sector-shaped annular disk 110b may not be affected.
6A and 6B are top views of a rotary device 100 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the sector-shaped annular disks 110, 110a, and 110b are movable in the radial direction of the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating member 120. In particular, the controllable rotating element 120 can have a plurality of locking slots 142 that can be used by the plurality of locking members 140 to press the sector-shaped annular disk 110, 110a or 110b against the controllable rotating element 120, and the locking member 140 is inserted into the lock The fixing groove 142 is movable in the locking groove 142. The locking groove 142 is defined in the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating component 120. In a direction parallel to the top surface 122, the cross-sectional area of the locking groove 142 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the fastener 140. As such, the fastener 140 can move in the locking slot 142 to move the sector-shaped annular disk 110, 110a or 110b in the radial direction of the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating element 120.
In Fig. 6A, the rotating device 100 has a moving path 150 which represents the path traveled by the object to be inspected 700 (as shown in Figs. 5A and 5B) on the rotating device 100. When the object to be inspected 700a is caught by the straight rail 210 (as shown in Fig. 5A), scratches 152 may be caused on the sector-shaped annular disk 110a (as shown in Fig. 6A). As shown in FIG. 6B, after the scratches 152 are formed, it is only necessary to move the sector-shaped annular disk 110a outward in the radial direction of the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating element 120 such that the scratches 152 leave the moving path 150. In this way, the object to be inspected 700 that is subsequently transferred to the sector-shaped annular disk 110a can be prevented from coming into contact with the scratch 152. Of course, the sector annular disk 110a can also move inwardly to cause the scratch 152 to exit the moving path 150.
FIG. 7A is a top plan view of a rotating device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the present embodiment and the 6A and 6B drawings is that the locking member 140a of the present embodiment is tightly fitted in the locking groove 142a to fix the sector-shaped annular disk 110 to the controllable rotating element 120, that is, It is said that the fastener 140a can fix the carrying unit 11 (see Fig. 1) to the controllable rotating element 120. The locking member 140a is detachable. For example, the locking member 140a and the locking groove 142a can be used to achieve the fitting effect, and when the user wants to replace any of the fan-shaped annular disks 110, only The fan-shaped annular disk 110 can be detached by rotating the lock 140a to release it from the locking groove 142a. The locking member 140a and the locking groove 142a are respectively a screw and a screw hole, but are not limited thereto.
In FIG. 7A, the number of the fan-shaped annular disks 110 is shown as three, but in practice, the number of the fan-shaped annular disks 110 is not limited thereto, and may also be four (as shown in FIG. 7B). Show), five (as shown in Figure 7C) or other quantities. Since the area of the single sector-shaped annular disk 110 is smaller than that of a general disk, the storage difficulty on long-distance or international transportation can be reduced, and problems such as cracking during transportation can be avoided. In addition, since the disassembly and assembly of the disc must move the position of the image capturing device 400 (refer to FIG. 1), the image capturing device 400 needs to be recalibrated, which is very time consuming and inconvenient. However, when a single sector-shaped annular disk 110 is used, the fan-shaped annular disk 110 to be replaced can be moved to a position where the image capturing device 400 is not replaced, and then replaced, which is easier than replacing the entire disk. In addition, when one of the sector-shaped annular discs 110 is damaged, only the damaged sector-shaped annular disc 110 needs to be replaced without replacing the entire disc, thereby reducing the material cost.
8 is a cross-sectional view of a rotating device 100 in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the sector-shaped annular disk 112 is disposed on the controllable rotating element 120 and slopes downwardly in the direction of the center 126 of the controllable rotating element 120 from the edge 124 of the controllable rotating element 120. In this way, when the controllable rotating element 120 rotates at a high speed, the inclined fan-shaped annular disk 112 can increase the centripetal force of the object to be inspected 700, and the object to be inspected 700 is prevented from being pulled out of the fan-shaped annular disk 112. This embodiment can be applied to the high-speed controllable rotating element 120, thereby improving work efficiency.
In some embodiments, the tilting arrangement of the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be achieved by two different lengths of fasteners 170 and 180. Specifically, the locker 180 is longer than the locker 170, so that the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be lifted up to be inclined. Additionally, the position of the fastener 180 is closer to the edge 124 of the controllable rotating element 120 than the locking member 170, so that the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be moved from the edge 124 of the controllable rotating element 120 to the center of the controllable rotating element 120. The direction is tilted downwards.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a rotating device 100 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between this embodiment and Fig. 8 is that the present embodiment uses the spacer 190 to tilt the sector-shaped annular disk 112 instead of the fasteners 170 and 180 having different lengths. In particular, the spacer 190 can be placed on the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating element 120 near the edge 124 such that the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be lifted up and the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be rotated by the controllable rotating element 120. The edge 124 slopes downwardly in the direction of the center 126 of the controllable rotating element 120.
It should be understood that the fasteners 170 and 180 shown in FIG. 8 and the spacer 190 shown in FIG. 9 are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting of the invention. In practice, any element that can tilt the sector-shaped annular disk 112 can be used to angularly position the sector-shaped annular disk 112 on the top surface 122 of the controllable rotating element 120.
Figure 10 is a diagram showing an inspection apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the rotating device 100 of the present embodiment includes a circular disk 114 which can replace the plurality of sector-shaped annular disks 110 of FIG. 1 , that is, the embodiment. The carrying unit 11 is a single annular disk 114. The annular disk 114 is disposed on the controllable rotating element 120 and is rotated by the controllable rotating element 120. Other components of the inspection apparatus of the present embodiment, and their connection relationships and actuation modes are as described above, and therefore will not be repeatedly described.
11 is a view showing an inspection apparatus according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the present embodiment and FIG. 10 is that the rotating device 100 of the present embodiment includes a disk 116 which can replace the annular disk 114 of FIG. 10, that is, the carrying unit 11 of the present embodiment. It is a single disc 116. The disk 116 is disposed on the controllable rotating element 120 and is rotated by the controllable rotating element 120. Other components of the inspection apparatus of the present embodiment, and their connection relationships and actuation modes are as described above, and therefore will not be repeatedly described.
In some embodiments, the inspection apparatus can optionally include a position recording device 500 that can be used to sense and record the position and time when the object to be inspected 700 passes under the positional position recording device 500, thereby helping the image capturing device 400 know when The object to be inspected 700 can be photographed.
In some embodiments, the inspection apparatus can optionally include a dispensing box 600 having a recycling device 610. When the object to be inspected 700 moves to the periphery of the recovery device 610, the recovery device 610 can recover the object to be inspected 700 into the distribution box 600. For example, the recovery device 610 can be a blow pipe that can be blown toward the split box 600. When the object to be inspected 700 moves into the airflow blown by the blow pipe, it is blown by the airflow blown by the blow pipe. And enter the dispensing box 600.
In some embodiments, the fan-shaped annular disks 110, 110a, 110b, and 112, and the annular disk 114 and the disk 116 may be formed of a light-transmitting material, and the image capturing device 400 can capture the bottom surface of the object to be inspected 700. In some embodiments, the controllable rotating component 120 is a motor, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the feeding device 200 is a vibrating element, but is not limited thereto.
Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
