The working principle of the multi-station parallel product appearance inspection system shown in the above embodiment is explained in detail below. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
and S101, loading and unloading.
The first positioning device and the second positioning device are provided on the rotating device for example. As shown in fig. 1, the turntable is provided with two stop positions, a first station a and a second station a'. The first station A is positioned below the support frame 2, and the center of the position is on the same vertical line with the center of the top fixing plate of the support frame 2. After the first positioning device 3 stops at the first station a, the center of the product to be detected fixed on the first positioning device 3 and the center of the fixing plate are also on the same vertical line. The second station A' is symmetrical to the first station A about the axis of the rotating shaft. When the first positioning means 3 are parked in the first station a, the second positioning means are parked in the second station a'.
And (3) sheet preparation: and (3) opening the clamp of the first positioning device 3 on the second station A', disconnecting the air suction motor, and taking down the detected product. The first time the sheets are loaded, the sheets are not unloaded.
Loading a slice: fixing the product to be detected on the first positioning device 3, wherein the back of the product to be detected faces upwards, and enabling the center of the product to be detected and the center of the first positioning device to be on the same vertical line. After the product to be detected is placed, the clamp is clamped, and the air suction motor is started to suck air.
In this application, the upper piece of the product to be detected means that the product to be detected is fixed on the positioning device by the fixture, and the lower piece means that the product to be detected is dismounted from the fixture.
And S102, rotating the turntable.
The turntable is rotated 180 degrees, and the first positioning device 3 rotates from the second station A' to the first station A. The second positioning device 10 rotates to the second station a' and carries out the lower and upper sheets of the product to be detected.
S103, determining the position relationship between the back detection device and the back of the product to be detected and the position relationship between the two side detection devices and the opposite side surfaces thereof.
In this step, the position relationship between the back detection device 4 and the back of the product to be detected is comprehensively determined by the depth of field of the first camera, the height of the first positioning device 3 and the thickness of the product to be detected. The distance range between the back detection device 4 and the back of the product to be detected is based on the fact that the first camera can obtain a clear image of the back of the product to be detected.
The distance range between the lens of the second camera of the two-side surface detection device and the side surface of the product to be detected is based on the fact that the second camera can obtain a clear image of the back surface of the product to be detected. The optical axes of the two second camera lenses are on the same horizontal line with the center of the side face towards which the second camera faces. The optical axes of the two second cameras and the center of the product to be detected are on the same horizontal line, and the two second cameras are symmetrical relative to the center of the product to be detected, so that interference generated when the second light sources of the two side surface detection devices are in opposite emission can be effectively avoided.
When the side of the product to be detected comprises the chamfer curved surface, the distance between a third camera in the side detection device and the chamfer curved surface needs to be adjusted, and the motion track of the adjusting device is set to be consistent with the arc track of the chamfer curved surface, so that the third camera can always obtain a clear image of the chamfer curved surface. The second camera is used for scanning the opposite side surfaces in the corresponding tracks and the connecting curved surfaces between the adjacent side surfaces.
And S104, planning the movement paths of the back detection device and the two side detection devices, and enabling the two side detection devices to be symmetrical about the center of the product to be detected in the initial position and the movement process.
In the present application, the back surface detection device 4 and the two side surface detection devices simultaneously detect the detection surfaces that are oriented. The motion trajectory of the back side detection device 4 is a straight line, i.e. the back side detection device 4 can move and scan from one edge of the product to be detected to the other edge in the transverse direction, and can also move and scan from one edge of the product to be detected to the other edge in the longitudinal direction.
The motion track of the two side surface detection devices can have various schemes. Based on the fact that the two side surface detection devices are prevented from colliding in the detection process, the motion trends of the two side surface detection devices are the same. The initial positions of the two side surface detection devices are symmetrical about the center of the first positioning device 3, and the central symmetry of the product to be detected is always kept in the operation process. If one side detection device moves in a clockwise direction, the other side detection device also moves in a clockwise direction.
Fig. 5 illustrates the direction of movement of the two side detection means according to a preferred embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, the two-side surface detection devices 5 are centrosymmetric with respect to the object to be detected, and the centrosymmetry is maintained during the movement, so that the mutual interference of the second cameras in the two-side surface detection devices can be effectively avoided. Meanwhile, the two side surface detection devices are centrosymmetric about the object to be detected, and the centrosymmetry is maintained in the motion process, so that the detection time of the two side surface detection devices can be ensured to be consistent, and if the detection path of one side surface detection device is slightly larger than that of the other side surface detection device, the detection time is the difference of two paths x 2/the moving speed of the side surface detection device. As can be seen, the route plan has the shortest detection time for the two-side surface detection device.
And S105, opening the fixture of the first positioning device at the first station A.
It should be noted that before opening the fixture of the first positioning device at the first station a, it is necessary to confirm whether the second cameras of the two side detection devices are located at the initial setting position, that is, to confirm whether the states of the two side detection devices are in the home position. After the homing is confirmed, the main controller controls the fixture to be opened. The fixture is opened so that the two side detection devices can collect the complete image of the side of the product to be detected.
And S106, simultaneously detecting the back detection device and the two side detection devices.
After the movement tracks of the back detection device 4 and the two side surface detection devices are set, the back detection device 4 and the two side surface detection devices scan and detect the oriented surfaces to be detected at the same time under the control of the main controller.
When the side surface of the product to be detected comprises the chamfer curved surface, the side surface detection device comprising the third camera scans and detects the vertical side surface and the chamfer curved surface of the product to be detected simultaneously.
The back detection device 4 and the two side detection devices perform detection simultaneously, and the detection time of the multi-station parallel product appearance detection system is determined by the detection time T required by the longer device of the back detection device 4 and the side detection devices. Therefore, the appearance detection of the product can be finished within the time period T. Compared with the mode that the back face, the left side face, the right side face, the front side face and the rear side face of the product are detected simultaneously, the mechanical structure is simplified, and the detection efficiency is improved. Compared with the successive detection of five detection surfaces, the detection period is greatly shortened.
S107: and closing the fixture of the first positioning device, and detecting whether the fixture of the second positioning device is closed.
S108: and (4) rotating the turntable by 180 degrees to detect the products to be detected on the second positioning device in S103-S106.
And confirming the closing state of the fixture in the first positioning device and the closing state of the fixture in the second positioning device before rotation, and rotating the turntable after the two fixtures are closed. And after the second station is switched to, a rotation in-place signal is sent to the main control console.
S109: and repeating S101-S108, and detecting the products to be detected on the first positioning device and the second positioning device in turn.
According to the method, the rotary device is used for realizing station alternate detection and sheet feeding and sheet discharging, so that the detection efficiency is increased in a multiplied mode, meanwhile, the detection area of the product to be detected is divided into three parts, the optimal scanning path planning is carried out on each part, continuous scanning is carried out on the back side detection device and the two side detection devices according to the planned path, and the detection period of the single product to be detected is shortened. Therefore, the technical scheme in the application can greatly improve the detection efficiency of the detection system.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements described above and shown in the drawings and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
