Abstract

A conveying device includes a conveyor and a carrying member. The conveyor is movable along a transporting path that sequentially defines an upstream segment and a downstream segment, and an outer surface of the conveyor includes a detecting region. The carrying member is mounted on the outer surface of the conveyor. A height of the carrying member with respect to the outer surface is larger than or equal to 3 mm.

Claims (15)

1. A production apparatus with depth image detection, comprising:

a stand;

a conveying device disposed on the stand, and the conveying device including:

a conveyor disposed on the stand and movable along a transporting path, wherein an outer surface of the conveyor has a detecting region, and the transporting path sequentially defines an upstream area and a downstream area; and

a carrying member disposed on the outer surface of the conveyor, wherein a projected region defined by orthogonally projecting the carrying member onto the detecting region is smaller than or equal to 60% of an area of the detecting region, and a height of the carrying member with respect to the outer surface is larger than or equal to 3 mm; and

a camera device arranged above the upstream area of the conveyor, wherein when a device under test (DUT) is disposed on the carrying member, the camera is configured to generate a depth image by capturing images of the DUT, a portion of the detecting region around the DUT, and a portion of the carrying member around the DUT.

2. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the projected region defined by orthogonally projecting the carrying member onto the detecting region is 5% 60% of the area of the detecting region.

3. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the height of the carrying member with respect to the outer surface is within a range of 5 mm-20 mm.

4. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying member includes a plurality of carriers disposed on the outer surface of the conveyor, the carriers are spaced apart from each other, and a cross-section of each of the carriers parallel to the outer surface gradually decreases along a direction away from the outer surface.

5. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying member includes a plurality of elongated carriers disposed on the outer surface of the conveyor, the carriers are parallel to each other, and a longitudinal direction of each of the carriers is perpendicular to the transporting path and is parallel to the outer surface of the conveyor.

6. The production apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the carriers are spaced apart from each other by the same distance, and a distance between any two of the carriers is larger than a maximum thickness of each of the carriers in the transporting path.

7. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyor and the carrying member are made of different materials, and a bottom of the carrying member is fixed on the outer surface of the conveyor.

8. The production apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a spraying device arranged above a portion of the conveyor between the upstream area and the downstream area, wherein the spraying device is configured to spray the DUT according to the depth image; and

a detecting device arranged above the downstream area of the conveyor, wherein after the spraying device sprays the DUT, the detecting device is configured to check whether the DUT satisfies a predetermined condition.
