The sensor detects the incoming material and triggers shooting to acquire the image information of the incoming material, and real-time uninterrupted triggering of image acquisition can also be adopted.
The sensor triggering means that: and when the product reaches the photographing position, triggering to photograph. In general, sensors include, but are not limited to: a correlation light source, a reflection optical fiber, a metal proximity sensor and a mechanical micro-motion sensor.

Step two: image acquisition
One or more cameras are used for shooting products moving on the production line, acquiring contour images of incoming materials and recording position information. The material shape is generally fitted by a 2D picture and a 3D profile by combining a 2D camera and 3D line laser scanning.
The specific process of image acquisition comprises two substeps:
A. constructing a proper optical system, selecting a proper light source combination and installation angle according to the incoming material characteristics and the background environment, selecting a proper high-resolution camera lens (an 8mm wide-angle lens is adopted in the model to obtain a large visual field range of 400 x 400 mm), and adjusting proper camera parameters (an exposure value, a gain value and the like) to obtain a high-quality original image with uniform brightness;
B. distortion correction of the camera lens itself.
The camera calibration method provided by the invention is roughly divided into two steps:
the method comprises the following steps of firstly, obtaining corrected internal and external parameters of a camera for a calibration action; the method is realized by adopting a Sudoku calibration method based on a Halcon algorithm library, a float glass calibration plate with the thickness of 120mm by 120mm is adopted, 7 dots with the thickness of 7 x 7 are uniformly distributed on the float glass calibration plate, and the printing process precision of each dot is 1 um. The calibration process comprises the steps of moving a calibration plate in the field of view of a camera, uniformly distributing 9 positions, respectively taking phases and calculating.
And secondly, correcting the image, and performing distortion correction on the acquired original image according to the correction parameters obtained in the first step to restore a corrected real image picture.
Step three: image processing
The acquired image is matched with a plurality of preset product characteristics by a single/multi-template matching algorithm, simultaneously combining morphological analysis with images, fitting geometric figures (such as points, lines and arcs) and the like so as to determine the current incoming material type and the coordinates and the rotating angle of the central point of the incoming material.
First, a template is established and determined
The modeling and model matching are specifically divided into three substeps:
A. establishing a template as a preparation work, shooting an incoming material image through a camera, selecting one or more characteristic areas according to incoming material characteristics, and establishing the template;
B. and (3) template matching, namely after the template is established, adjusting the position and the posture of the template, carrying out matching processing on the image data of the existing product, and observing the matching effect, wherein if the matching effect is not ideal (the matching score does not reach the preset score), the template needs to be taught again, or template parameters are adjusted (the matching score is adjusted or the angle of the template is adjusted), so that the template is optimized.
C. For products without obvious features or incoming materials with pure template matching accuracy not meeting requirements, the method can select the mode of further positioning and identifying the products by combining images with morphological analysis, fitting geometric figures (such as points, lines and arcs) and the like after template matching.
Second, the coordinate system is related
Establishing an image coordinate system based on the position image of the incoming material, randomly selecting five calibration points on the image, associating the image coordinate system with an equipment motion coordinate system according to a five-point calibration method, and determining the pixel proportion. And combining the incoming material model with the image coordinate system to determine the center point coordinate and the rotation angle of the current incoming material in the equipment motion coordinate system.
Step four: track editing
Automatically switching product formulas according to the determined product types and calling corresponding preset tracks; and correcting the preset track according to the determined center coordinates and the rotation angle, determining a track starting point (namely a needle drop point), and then moving the needle head of the glue valve to enter the position above the point for waiting.
In this step, template trajectory teaching is required, and as a preliminary work, various methods (including, but not limited to, manual teaching, image teaching, DXF import, trajectory automatic recognition, trajectory stitching, and the like) may be adopted.
Manual teaching: the dispensing needle head is moved through a manual operation program interface/handheld teaching box, and the track editing is carried out by aligning the corresponding point positions through naked eyes.
Image teaching: by shooting the global picture of a product, the mouse selects a corresponding point position in the image or slides the mouse to teach a track.
And (3) DXF import: the gluing trace is formed by importing a pre-edited DXF file (CAD edit).
Automatic track identification: the track is formed by automatic image recognition through a product real object diagram or a simulation diagram (such as a shape drawn on white paper and automatically generated by photographing).
Track splicing: for products with larger size, the multi-segment tracks need to be combined to form an integral track.
Step five: equipment pre-running
The rubber valve needle head enters the position above the needle falling point to wait, the speed change is monitored through the combination of the rotary encoder and the roller wheel by means of signal feedback of the encoder, and the position information fed back by the rotary encoder, the position information recorded when a product is triggered to shoot and the running speed of incoming materials are compared and calculated in real time.
Step six: tracking dispensing
When the product enters the gluing area, the needle head of the glue valve is moved to enter the initial point of the track, the product and the current product move in the same direction, meanwhile, the glue valve is controlled to finish gluing operation by performing superposition relative motion with the product according to the corrected track.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
firstly, five-point calibration, namely randomly selecting five calibration points on an image, establishing a relationship between an image coordinate system and a motion coordinate system by a five-point calibration method, and simultaneously determining a pixel proportion;
secondly, three-point calibration is carried out, the dispensing needle head is enabled to point to one point in the space at three different postures, and a tool coordinate system corresponding to the needle head is taught through the calibration method;
and thirdly, calibrating the following movement, and enabling the movement mechanism and the product to follow in the same direction by combining the feedback speed of the encoder according to the movement coordinate relation established in the first step. But if the remaining displacement distance of the incoming material on the production line does not meet the distance required by the gluing operation, the product is not glued.
Step seven: tracking dispensing
When the product is coated with glue, the glue valve cleaning module is started by returning to the cleaning position, and the next incoming material is cleaned; and if the next incoming material is not available or cannot be coated due to insufficient distance, the coating is not carried out.
Certainly, the rubber valve cleaning module can be started after a plurality of incoming materials are coated with rubber at each time and then the rubber valve needle head is cleaned, and the machining efficiency can be improved through reasonable planning.
