Due to the employing of technique scheme, compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. the present invention adopts camera to differentiate retainer pros and cons, when detecting, with camera, retainer is taken pictures, the pros and cons of retainer is differentiated by the size of the diameter difference or two annulus that read retainer both ends of the surface annulus, testing agency is simple, improves automaticity and production efficiency.
2. in further technical scheme, eliminate the impact of the external environment except the factor of camera own, make camera imaging more stable, ensure that the accuracy that retainer pros and cons differentiates.
3. in retainer deterministic process, the method of self-correction is adopted constantly to revise retainer pros and cons reference value, make the accuracy rate of each retainer when pros and cons judges higher, avoid because mechanism's long benchmark caused working time is inaccurate and judge by accident.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of retainer in the present invention.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1 and embodiment, the invention will be further described, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this.
Shown in accompanying drawing 1, retainer 1 mentioned in the present invention, refer to that the inside and outside surface formed after turning is sphere, two ends are the metal construction of plane.
Ball cage retainer, will using one of them end face as the reference field adding man-hour when carrying out punching processing, but owing to not needing reference field in process before, process the retainer when entering punching operation not necessarily to enter by a same reference field direction, institute thinks that guarantee retainer is all that same direction enters punching operation, will judge each retainer, turn out before the retainer in reverse side is entered punching operation.
Judge time using two of retainer end faces as basis for estimation, first by the mode of streamline, retainer is allowed to enter discriminating gear one by one, the post-positioning device entered is located retainer, after having located, the figure of the first whole retainer of high-pixel camera takes, due to when there being illumination, retainer end face can reflective one-tenth annulus, by judging that the size of the ring of annulus is to judge the pros and cons of retainer.
A method of discrimination for ball cage retainer pros and cons, comprises the following steps:
(1) eigenwert differentiated is selected
1. the inner and outer diameter size of each for retainer both ends of the surface annulus is judged as eigenwert:
The method of circle matching is adopted to be maintained the positive and negative interior diameter of two transverse plane annulus of frame and the size of overall diameter.
Here retainer front end face called after A face, reverse side called after B face, and the size supposing A face transverse plane annulus interior diameter is d
a, the size of overall diameter is D
a, the size of B face transverse plane annulus interior diameter is d
b, the size of overall diameter is D
b.
The difference DELTA H of A face inner and outer diameter
a=| D
a-d
a|, the difference DELTA H of B face inner and outer diameter
b=| D
b-d
b|.
The pros and cons of retainer then just can be determined according to the difference of these two end faces.
2. the area of each for retainer end face annulus is judged as eigenwert:
By processing the size of positive and negative two the transverse plane annulus of the frame that is maintained to the image collected.
Here retainer front end face called after A face, reverse side called after B face, and the size that hypothesis obtains A face area is S
a, the size of B face area is S
b.
The pros and cons of retainer then directly can be determined by the size of the area of these two annulus.
One of them eigenwert (diameter or area) above can be selected as the basis for estimation of pros and cons differentiating retainer, or in order to the accuracy that improves differentiation is using both as basis for estimation.
(2) impact of external factor is eliminated
Due to the change of external environment brightness, temperature and the impact of other external factor in the process that pros and cons differentiates, the picture quality of camera shooting also can change.In order to the impact of maximum elimination external environment, ensure camera working stability, adopt the mode of closed-loop control to correct brightness:
(1) before mechanical arm grabbing workpiece, camera reads the brightness of lower images, i.e. intensity profile, the image now read is original image.
(2) original image and the benchmark image that presets are contrasted, if original image is brighter than benchmark image just reduce light-source brightness, otherwise strengthen light-source brightness.
(3) in light-source brightness adjustment process, camera ceaselessly captures image, until identical with benchmark image brightness.
In the process judging pros and cons, be generally separated in time do a gamma correction, but be consistent as far as possible in order to the value making video camera read, each retainer can do before judging and once correcting.
(3) judgment standard is revised
After retainer enters discriminating device at every turn, camera claps a figure to retainer, by contrasting with reference value after image procossing, thus differentiates pros and cons.For the size of each annulus of eigenvalue retainer end face, make reference value be P, retainer front end face area is S
areverse side area is S
b, triangular pass is S
a<P<S
b.The face area S obtained after image procossing is less than P and is A face.Therefore the setting of reference value is the key differentiating success or not, but due to the randomness in workpiece process, sample space as study workpiece can not contain whole batch, and therefore this method provides the modification method of judgment standard, could keep the accuracy of follow-up judgement like this.
Modification method:
Here retainer front end face called after A face, reverse side called after B face, the size obtaining A face according to the eigenwert recorded is S
a, the size in B face is S
b.
The area S in A face can be drawn after supposing to measure n retainer
awith the area S in B face
bdispersion Δ
s.
This n retainer dispersion is by obtaining as shown in the formula calculating:
Wherein, Δ
srepresent the dispersion of retainer eigenwert, x
irepresent the eigenwert of i-th retainer, n represents the number of retainer.
This n retainer draws the area S in A face after measuring
awith the area S in B face
bmeet normal distribution, suppose the area S in A face
athe peak value of normal distribution curve is S
a', the area S in B face
bthe peak value of normal distribution curve is S
b'.
Then
The reference value supposing to determine pros and cons is P,
(1)S
A<S
B
Namely
Determining reference value
Now can accurately judge the pros and cons of retainer;
(2)S
A>S
B
Namely
①
Δ
sget
with
in less one
If
Determining reference value
If
Determining reference value
Now just can judge the pros and cons of retainer;
②
Δ
sget
with
in less one
Determining reference value P cannot determine
Now cannot judge the pros and cons of retainer.
So by the reference value P that each correction is current in the process of camera judgement, make it to be stabilized in one and can accurately judge in the scope of retainer pros and cons, so just can ensure that follow-up accuracy of judgement is without erroneous judgement.
Above-described embodiment is preferred embodiment of the present invention; it is not the restriction to technical solution of the present invention; as long as without the technical scheme that creative work can realize on the basis of above-described embodiment, all should be considered as falling within the scope of the rights protection of patent of the present invention.
