I.e.
Determining reference value
The positive and negative of retainer can accurately now be judged;
(2)SA>SB
I.e.
①ΔsTakeWithIn less one
IfDetermining reference value
IfDetermining reference value
The positive and negative of retainer can be now judged just;
②ΔsTakeWithIn less one
Determining reference value P can not be determined
The positive and negative of retainer can not now be judged.
This described n retainer dispersion is calculated and obtained by such as following formula:
Wherein, ΔsRepresent the dispersion of retainer characteristic value, xiThe characteristic value of i-th of retainer is represented, n represents retainer
Number.
It is described to control brightness to comprise the following steps by using the mode of closed-loop control:
(1) before manipulator grabbing workpiece, camera reads the brightness of lower images, i.e. intensity profile, now reads
Image is original image.
(2) original image is contrasted with benchmark image set in advance, dropped if original image is than benchmark image brighter
Low light-source brightness, otherwise enhancing light-source brightness.
(3) camera ceaselessly captures image during light-source brightness regulation, until identical with benchmark image brightness.
Due to the use of above-mentioned technical proposal, compared with prior art, the present invention has advantages below:
1. the present invention is differentiated using camera to retainer positive and negative, in detection, retainer is entered with camera
Row is taken pictures, and the positive and negative of retainer is differentiated by reading the diameter difference of retainer both ends of the surface annulus or the size of two annulus
Face, testing agency is simple, improves automaticity and production efficiency.
2. eliminating the influence of the external environment in addition to camera factor itself in further technical scheme, make to take the photograph
As head imaging is more stablized, it is ensured that the accuracy that retainer positive and negative differentiates.
3. in retainer deterministic process, retainer positive and negative a reference value is constantly repaiied using the method for self-correction
Just, make accuracy rate of each retainer when positive and negative judges higher, it is to avoid base caused by mechanism run time is long
Standard is inaccurate and judges by accident.
Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of retainer in the present invention.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings 1 and embodiment the invention will be further described, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited to
This.
Referring to shown in accompanying drawing 1, the retainer 1 mentioned in the present invention refers to that the inner and outer surfaces formed after turning are
Sphere, two ends are the metal structure of plane.
Cage retainer, when being punched out processing using one of end face as reference plane during processing, but by
In not needing reference plane in process before, the retainer when entering punching operation is processed not necessarily same by one
Individual reference plane direction enters, so being to ensure that retainer is all that same direction enters punching operation it is necessary to each holding
Frame is judged, is turned out before the retainer in reverse side is entered punching operation.
Using two end faces of retainer as basis for estimation when judgement, first by way of streamline, holding is allowed
Frame one by one enter discriminating gear, into post-positioning device to retainer position, positioning complete after high-pixel camera it is first
The figure of whole retainer is taken, because in the case where there is illumination, retainer end face can be reflective into an annulus, can be by sentencing
The size of the ring of disconnected annulus judges the positive and negative of retainer.
A kind of method of discrimination of cage retainer positive and negative, comprises the following steps:
(1) characteristic value that selection differentiates
1. the inner and outer diameter size of each annulus of retainer both ends of the surface is judged as characteristic value:
It is maintained the interior diameter of the positive and negative two transverse plane annulus of frame and the size of overall diameter using the method for circle fitting.
Here retainer front end face is named as A faces, reverse side is named as B faces, and assumes A faces transverse plane annulus interior diameter
Size is dA, the size of overall diameter is DA, the size of B faces transverse plane annulus interior diameter is dB, the size of overall diameter is DB。
The difference DELTA H of A faces inner and outer diameterA=| DA-dA|, the difference DELTA H of B faces inner and outer diameterB=| DB-dB|。
The positive and negative of retainer can just then be determined according to the difference of the two end faces.
2. the area of each annulus of retainer end face is judged as characteristic value:
The size for the positive and negative two transverse plane annulus of frame that are maintained is handled by the image progress to collecting.
Here retainer front end face is named as A faces, reverse side is named as B faces, and assumes that the size for obtaining A faces area is
SA, the size of B faces area is SB。
The positive and negative of retainer then can be directly determined by the size of the area of the two annulus.
Can select one of characteristic value (diameter or area) above as the positive and negative for differentiating retainer judgement according to
According to, or in order to improve the accuracy of differentiation using being both used as basis for estimation.
(2) influence of external factor is eliminated
Due to external environment brightness, the change of temperature and the influence of other external factor during positive and negative differentiation,
The picture quality that camera is shot can also be changed.In order to which maximum elimination external environment influences, it is ensured that camera working stability,
Brightness is corrected by the way of closed-loop control:
(1) before manipulator grabbing workpiece, camera reads the brightness of lower images, i.e. intensity profile, now reads
Image is original image.
(2) original image is contrasted with benchmark image set in advance, just dropped if original image is than benchmark image brighter
Low light-source brightness, otherwise enhancing light-source brightness.
(3) camera ceaselessly captures image during light-source brightness regulation, until identical with benchmark image brightness.
Separated in time is generally during positive and negative is judged and does a gamma correction, but in order that video camera
The value of reading is consistent as far as possible, and each retainer can do before judging and once correct.
(3) judgment standard is corrected
Retainer every time enter discriminating device after, camera to retainer clap one figure, by after image procossing with
A reference value is contrasted, so as to differentiate positive and negative.By taking the size of each annulus of eigenvalue retainer end face as an example, base is made
Quasi- value is P, and retainer front end face area is SAReverse side area is SB, triangular relation is SA<P<SB.Obtained after image procossing
The face area S obtained is A faces less than P.Therefore the setting of a reference value is the key for differentiating success or not, but is due to that workpiece adds
Randomness during work, can not possibly cover whole batch as the sample space of study workpiece, therefore this method provides judgement
The modification method of benchmark, could so keep the accuracy subsequently judged.
Modification method:
Here retainer front end face is named as A faces, reverse side is named as B faces, and the face in A faces is worth to according to the feature measured
Product size is SA, the size in B faces is SB。
Assuming that the area S in A faces can be drawn after being measured to n retainerAWith the area S in B facesBDispersion ΔS。
This n retainer dispersion is calculated and obtained by such as following formula:
Wherein, ΔsRepresent the dispersion of retainer characteristic value, xiThe characteristic value of i-th of retainer is represented, n represents retainer
Number.
This n retainer draws the area S in A faces after measuringAWith the area S in B facesBMeet normal distribution, it is assumed that
The area S in A facesAThe peak value of normal distribution curve is SA', the area S in B facesBThe peak value of normal distribution curve is SB'。
Then
Assuming that the determining reference value that can determine positive and negative is P,
(1)SA< SB
I.e.
Determining reference value
The positive and negative of retainer can accurately now be judged;
(2)SA>SB
I.e.
①ΔsTakeWithIn less one
IfDetermining reference value
IfDetermining reference value
The positive and negative of retainer can be now judged just;
②ΔsTakeWithIn less one
Determining reference value P can not be determined
The positive and negative of retainer can not now be judged.
So being made it stable during camera judges by the current determining reference value P of each amendment
One can be accurately judged in the range of retainer positive and negative, so ensure that follow-up accuracy of judgement without erroneous judgement.
