Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a multi-plane detection method provided in one embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, a multi-plane detection method is provided, including:
s1: selecting a plane as a main plane, so that the center of the main plane coincides with the center of the circular arc track and the included angle between the main plane and the horizontal plane is smaller than a set value;
s2: adjusting the relative angle of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device, determining the normal direction of the main plane according to the maximum reflection intensity received by the laser receiving device, and taking the relative angle of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device corresponding to the maximum reflection intensity as a set angle;
s3: taking the main plane as a first plane, sequencing all planes according to the positions and the orientations of the planes, and selecting a sequence;
S4: according to the sequence of planes in the selected sequence, the center of each plane coincides with the circle center of the circular arc track, the included angles between each plane and the horizontal plane are respectively smaller than a set value, the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device are controlled to keep the set angles to synchronously move, and the normal direction of each plane is determined according to the maximum reflection intensity received by the laser receiving device;

s8: judging whether each second included angle is in a set range, if all the second included angles are in the set range, the product is qualified, and if at least one second included angle exceeds the set range, the product is unqualified.
In this embodiment, generally, the most important or largest plane on the product, such as the top surface of the product, is selected as the principal plane. After the main plane is selected, the object placing table is controlled to rotate in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction, so that the included angle between the main plane and the horizontal plane is smaller than a set value, and the main plane faces towards the center of the circular arc track, wherein the set value is determined according to the design requirement of the plane and can be 1 degree or other degrees meeting the design requirement; ideally, the angle between the measured plane and the horizontal plane tends to be 0 degrees infinitely. And then, the center of the main plane is coincided with the circle center of the circular arc track by controlling the lifting of the bracket. Similarly, when detecting other planes of the product later, the same operation is required to be performed on each plane, so that the detected plane coincides with the center of the circular arc track, the included angle between the detected plane and the horizontal plane is smaller than the set value, and the detected plane faces the center of the circular arc track. In this way, the positions and the orientations of all planes are consistent in detection, and the influence of the positions and the orientations of the planes on detection results is reduced.
The laser receiving device synchronously acquires the intensity of the emitted laser reflected by the center of the main plane by adjusting the relative angle of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device and emitting the laser towards the center of the main plane, and the position corresponding to the maximum reflection intensity of the laser in the plane is determined, so that the normal direction of the main plane can be accurately determined in the process.
The main plane is taken as a first plane, and the planes with the smallest included angles are selected from the planes adjacent to the previous plane according to the positions and the orientations of the planes. If there are 5 adjacent planes in a plane, and the angles between the 5 adjacent planes and the previous plane are equal, the 5 adjacent planes are marked with the same sequence, and when there is the same minimum angle, the planes with the minimum angles should be marked sequentially, so that a sequence with a plurality of sequences about the sequence of planes is finally obtained. Meanwhile, the sum of differences of all included angles of all sequences is compared, and the sequence with the smallest summation result is selected as the selected sequence. According to the sequence of planes in the selected sequence, when each plane is detected, the center of the plane coincides with the center of the circular arc track, the included angle between the plane and the horizontal plane is smaller than a set value, meanwhile, the relative angle of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device at the moment of acquiring the maximum reflection intensity of laser in the main plane is taken as a set angle, and when each plane outside the main plane is detected, the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device keep the set angle, so that the influence on a detection result caused by the change of the relative angle of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device is reduced, and the accumulation of detection errors is reduced.
And respectively determining the position of the maximum reflection intensity of the laser in each plane, namely the position of the normal line of each plane, so as to determine the normal line direction of each plane. And calculating first included angles between the normal direction of each plane and the normal direction of the main plane. In consideration of all the transmission errors, it is determined whether all the first angles are within a set range. The setting range is determined according to design requirements and taking factors such as error transmission into consideration, and is a variable. And judging the result of the calculated first included angle, determining whether the first included angle is within the set range, and if all the first included angles are within the set range, indicating that each plane still meets the design requirement under the condition of considering all the transmission errors, and judging that the product is qualified. If one or more first included angles are not in the set range, the normal direction of the first included angles needs to be determined again in consideration of the influence of other errors in the detection process, a second included angle between the normal direction of the new plane and the normal direction of the main plane is calculated again, and whether the second included angle is in the set range is judged again. If all the second included angles are in the set range, each plane is in the deviation allowable range, and each plane meets the requirements, so that the product can be judged to be qualified.
The present invention relates to the field of optical measurement technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for detecting multiple planes. The method comprises selecting a principal plane and determining the normal direction of the principal plane; sequencing all planes, selecting a sequence, and sequentially determining the normal direction of each plane according to the sequence of the planes; judging whether first included angles between the normal direction of each plane and the normal direction of the main plane are in a set range, if all the first included angles are in the set range, judging whether the first included angles are qualified, otherwise, marking the plane judged as unqualified as a target plane, judging whether second included angles between the normal direction of each target plane and the normal direction of the main plane are in the set range, and if all the second included angles are in the set range, judging that the product is qualified, otherwise, the product is unqualified. According to the method provided by the invention, the error accumulation caused by changing the reference in the multi-plane detection process is reduced through the control variable, and the influence on the detection result caused by the transmission error is eliminated, so that a more accurate detection result is obtained, and whether the products of the multiple planes meet the design requirement can be more accurately judged.

Therefore, through controlling the rotation of the first rotating component and the overturning of the second rotating component of the clamping device, the included angle between the measured plane and the horizontal plane is smaller than a set value, and the front face is kept towards the center of the circular arc track. Meanwhile, the lifting component on the clamping device comprises an air cylinder 15 and an air pressure rod 7, the air cylinder 15 is started, and the air pressure rod 7 is controlled to lift and adjust the height of the support plate so as to adjust the plane height of a product to be detected on the object placing plate, so that the center of the detected plane coincides with the circle center of the circular arc track in a same height. In addition, as shown in fig. 2, in the detection process, the moving ranges of the laser emitting device 3 and the laser receiving device 4 are in the circular arc track 2, and the circular arc track 2 is not separated, so that the method can be smoothly executed.

wherein the reflection intensity Y of the laser light 2 The reflection intensity Y of the laser is greater than or equal to 1 Reflection intensity Y of laser light 3 The reflection intensity Y of the laser is greater than or equal to 2
In this embodiment, since the normal to the plane is a straight line perpendicular to the plane and passing through the center of the plane. Based on the above, by emitting laser light to the plane center and obtaining the reflection intensity of the laser light received from the plane center correspondingly, the maximum reflection intensity of the laser light is selected from the received reflection intensities of the laser light, and the angular bisector of the included angle between the emitted laser light and the reflected laser light corresponding to the maximum reflection intensity is the normal direction of the plane. By finding the maximum reflection intensity of the plane, the direction of the normal to the plane can then be determined more accurately.

Wherein adjacent planes may be planes that share an edge or are adjacently located; if there are 6 adjacent planes with the ith plane, the 6 planes are planes to be ordered, and the planes corresponding to the minimum included angle are selected for sequential marking through the included angle between the planes to be ordered and the ith plane, i.e. if the included angles of 3 planes are the same in size and the included angle is the minimum included angle among the 6 planes, then the 3 planes are required to be sequentially marked, and all the planes are marked as the (i+1) th plane. Based on this, marking all planes according to this rule can result in a plurality of sequences. In order to obtain a more accurate detection result, a sequence with the smallest included angle deviation value is selected from the obtained sequences related to the plane sequence as a selected sequence, namely, the sequence with the smallest sum of the included angles is selected as the selected sequence by calculating the difference of the included angles of all adjacent planes of each sequence.

If two or more planes deviate from the set range, the planes need to be re-measured, and whether the laser emitting device or the laser receiving device deviates during the measurement is considered, so that the normal direction of the main plane is re-determined, and the normal direction of each target plane with the deviation exceeding the set range is re-determined according to the determined relative positions of the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device. And then, whether the included angle between the normal direction of the target plane and the normal direction of the new main plane is within a set range is calculated again. If the two planes are within the set range, the product can be judged to be qualified, and if one or more planes are still present and are not within the set range, the product is not qualified.
