It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.

As shown in fig. 1-8, the calibration workpiece provided by the present application comprises a calibration plate (1) and a detection component (2), wherein the calibration plate (1) is mounted on a base of the robot; the detection component (2) comprises a sensor clamp (21) fixed at the tail end of the robot and a plurality of distance sensors (22) installed on the sensor clamp (21); and detecting the distance between the detection part (2) and the calibration plate (1) through the distance sensor to realize zero calibration of the robot.

Specifically, the distance sensor (22) may be clamped and fixed on the sensor fixture (21) by a jackscrew, at this time, please refer to fig. 2-8, the calibration plate 1 is fixed on the robot base, wherein, when installing, the specific position of the calibration plate 1 is determined by a long strip-shaped positioning pin, and is fixed by a screw. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the clamping block 210 and the clamping block 220 are mounted on the distance sensor clamp 21, wherein the clamping blocks are fixed by screws, and a position for mounting the distance sensor 22 is reserved after the clamping block 220 is mounted. Referring to fig. 7, the zero calibration plate 23 and the distance sensor 22 are mounted on the distance sensor jig, and after the zero calibration plate 23 performs zero calibration of the distance sensor 22, the distance zero calibration plate 23 is removed. Referring to fig. 3, the inspection part 2 is installed at the end of the robot to be inspected.

When the robot is subjected to zero calibration, the robot is firstly moved to the vicinity of a specified pose, the robot is accurately adjusted to the specified pose through a distance sensor at the tail end, the robot is subjected to first calibration, and joint values of all joints (taking a seven-axis robot as an example) are recorded and are recorded as (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6 and a 7). And then moving the robot to a symmetrical pose (if the robot has an error, the actual pose of the robot deviates from the theoretical pose), recording joint values at the moment as (b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6 and b7), adjusting the robot to the theoretical symmetrical pose through a distance sensor, and recording joint values at the moment as (c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6 and c 7).
