Further, the control device 4 records the number of the old staples collected currently in the waste staple collecting module 35; that is, when each old staple is detached from the graphite boat, the control device 4 will count up the number of old staples. When the control device 4 judges that the quantity of the old staples collected currently in the waste staple collecting module 35 does not reach the preset quantity, the corresponding control staple removing module 32 continues to remove the next old staple on the graphite boat sheet; when the control device 4 determines that the used staples in the collecting cylinder 351 are fully collected and reach the preset number, the control device 4 controls the third driving assembly 38 to drive the collecting cylinder 351 to move above the containing box 10 along the X-axis direction, the control device 4 controls the baffle driving device 353 to drive the baffle 352 to move so as to open the discharge hole, so that all the used staples in the collecting cylinder 351 fall into the containing box 10, after all the used staples in the collecting cylinder 351 fall into the containing box 10, the baffle driving device 353 drives the baffle 352 to move so as to close the discharge hole, so that the used staple collecting module 35 transfers all the collected used staples into the containing box 10, and correspondingly, the control device 4 resets the number of the used staples currently collected in the used staple collecting module 35 to 0, so as to realize the function of continuing to temporarily collecting the used staples by the collecting cylinder 351, thereby realizing the full-automatic recovery and uniform collection of the used staples into the containing box 10, the automation degree is high.

determining a corresponding photographing position according to the target model of the graphite boat piece;
and detecting the position of the staple bolt hole on the graphite boat sheet and the corresponding aperture according to the image acquired by the visual detection module at the photographing position.
The control device 4 prestores photographing positions corresponding to the clamping nail holes in the graphite boat sheets of various types, and the photographing positions can be overlapped with the nail dismounting positions in the concrete implementation process. When the graphite boat piece staple replacing equipment only carries out unified staple mounting processing on each graphite boat piece of the same model, the control device 4 directly acquires the pre-stored photographing position corresponding to each staple hole in the graphite boat piece, and each time when all old staples in the graphite boat piece on the staple mounting and dismounting platform 2 are dismounted, the control device 4 controls the driving mechanism to drive the visual detection module 31 to move to the photographing position for image acquisition; when staple bolt binding processing is carried out on various graphite boat sheets of any type, the target type of the graphite boat sheet is obtained, and the corresponding photographing position is determined according to the obtained target type of the graphite boat sheet; or determining the corresponding photographing position according to the target model of the graphite boat piece obtained in the step S20 when the nail is detached, and then after all the old nails in the graphite boat piece are detached, the control device 4 controls the driving mechanism to drive the visual inspection module 31 to move to the photographing position corresponding to the graphite boat piece of the target model for image acquisition. Further, the control device 4 detects the staple hole position and the corresponding aperture on the graphite boat sheet according to the image collected by the visual detection module 31.
Specifically, the above-mentioned step of detecting staple bolt hole position on the graphite boat piece and corresponding aperture according to the image that the visual inspection module group gathered the position of shooing includes:
determining an offset value between the actual position of the staple hole and the reference position in the XY direction and the coverage range of the staple hole according to the image acquired by the visual detection module at the photographing position;
determining the position of a staple bolt hole on the graphite boat sheet according to the preset calibrated size, the preset photographing position and the preset deviation value of the acquired image by the visual detection module;
and determining the corresponding aperture of the clamping nail hole on the graphite boat sheet according to the preset calibrated size of the acquired image and the coverage range of the clamping nail hole by the visual detection module.
As an embodiment of the present invention, a graphite boat piece replacing device calibrates the visual detection module 31 using a checkerboard of a preset specification at the beginning of use, specifically, a high-precision calibration plate made of glass and having a precision of 0.01mm and a size of 0.5 × 0.5mm is selected according to the precision (e.g. 0.01mm) of the detection system and the visual field range of the CCD camera 311, wherein a 5-point method is specifically adopted to calibrate five target points, wherein the five target points are respectively an original point, a first quadrant point, a second quadrant point, a third quadrant point and a fourth quadrant point of the high-precision calibration plate, so that a mapping can be made between the physical coordinates and the pixel coordinates of the visual detection module 31, and therefore, the pixel units in the image collected by the CCD camera 311 can be converted into actual physical units (mm) and actual sizes.
Further, when the control device 4 controls the driving mechanism to drive the CCD camera 311, the nail removing module 32 and the nail installing module 33 to move to the upper side of the photographing position along the Y axis, the driving mechanism correspondingly drives the light source assembly 9 to move to the lower side of the photographing position along the Y axis synchronously, at this time, when the CCD camera 311 photographs the graphite boat piece at the photographing position, the control device 4 controls the light source assembly 9 to emit light, at this time, the image collected by the CCD camera 311 is specifically a white aperture at the middle part, and the outside is black. The control device 4 can fit the black-white boundary of the edge of the image into a circle by distinguishing parameters such as color, contrast and the like of the collected image according to image processing software, and then determines the coverage range of the circle and measures to obtain the pixel diameter of the circle. Wherein the pixel units of the diameter of the circle measured in the image can be converted into the actual physical units of the staple hole, i.e. the aperture of the staple hole is determined, due to the aforementioned calibration.
Further, when the graphite boat piece does not deviate on the nail mounting and dismounting platform 2, the white aperture of the visual detection module 31 in the image collected at the photographing position should be in the middle position of the image, namely the reference position; when the graphite boat sheet deviates to a certain extent on the nail mounting and dismounting platform 2, the white aperture of the visual detection module 31 is located at a position deviating from the reference position in the image collected by the photographing position, and at this time, the corresponding control device 4 measures and determines the pixel deviation value between the center of the circle and the reference position in the XY direction according to the actual position of the circle in the image collected by the visual detection module 31.
