The embodiments of the present invention are described below by way of specific examples, and those skilled in the art can readily appreciate the other advantages and functions of the present invention.

It is to be understood that the structure, the proportions, the size, and the like of the present invention are intended to be used in conjunction with the disclosure of the specification, and are not intended to limit the invention. The conditions are limited, so it is not technically meaningful. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should remain in this book without affecting the effects and the objectives that can be achieved by the present invention. The technical content disclosed in the invention can be covered.

The main technical concept of this case is to combine the image recognition and the 3D model of the workpiece input in advance to perform the processing and production of the workpiece. Using 3D models to assist in automated production (referred to as 3DMAM; 3D Model Acid Manufacturing), through the concept of design, control, design, production, design and inspection, integrated production, testing and control processes with 3D models as the main axis. In other words, when the design of the 3D model is completed, the production, testing, and control processes can be set up, thereby reducing the configuration of professional equipment personnel and avoiding equipment operation problems caused by personnel flow.

The 3D model assists in automated production based on a 3D model designed for programmers to program through visual programming to perform different transfer, processing, testing, packaging and other manufacturing operations, ie, only through 3D models. Visual programming can complete related tasks. To put it simply, the 3D model assists in automated production through 3D vision, 2D or 3D image capture of pre-machined workpieces, matching the position and orientation of the workpiece in space, and finding information that matches the workpiece from the database. For processing operations such as transfer, processing, inspection, packaging, etc.

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a production machine for automated concepts and automated machining of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automatic machining of the present invention is used for performing the processing and production of the workpiece, and the 3D model combined with the image recognition and the pre-input of the workpiece is used, thereby achieving the effect of automatically generating the processing information, so that the execution is performed. Which kind of workpiece or processing behavior is not limited, wherein the automation concept and the automated processing machine 1 include an image capturing device 11, a processing information generator 12, and a controller 13.

The image capture device 11 is used to capture images captured by workpieces placed on the work platform. Specifically, the machining is most afraid of the deviation of the position of the workpiece, resulting in a wrong machining position, so that the finished product cannot meet the standard. Therefore, in order to make the machining position more accurate, the present invention proposes to confirm whether the position of the workpiece is correct through image recognition technology, that is, the image is The picker 11 captures an image of the workpiece on the work platform for subsequent determination of the position of the workpiece.

The processing information generator 12 is disposed in the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated processing for automatically generating the processing information code. The processing information generator 12 includes a storage unit 121, a receiving unit 122, and a processing unit 123.

The storage unit 121 is configured to pre-store the 3D model 100 corresponding to various workpieces. In order to automatically generate the processing information, the information of various types of workpieces that may be executed is pre-stored, that is, the 3D model 100 and the 3D model 100 record the workpiece. The 3D type will be used for subsequent visualization of the machining path. In addition, data such as the 3D model 100 may be externally input and stored in the storage unit 121.

The receiving unit 122 receives the captured image captured by the image capturing device 11 . Briefly, the receiving unit 122 can receive the captured image captured by the image capture device 11, which will be used for the determination of the workpiece positioning.

The processing unit 123 determines the offset of the workpiece according to the captured image, and determines the processing path of the workpiece through the 3D model 100 to generate processing information of the workpiece according to the offset and the processing path. Specifically, the processing unit 123 uses the image recognition technology to identify the captured image to confirm whether the workpiece position is correct. For example, an origin can be preset on the working platform, and the origin is the origin of the workpiece. Therefore, the positional distance between the origin of the working platform and the origin of the workpiece is determined, and the offset can be obtained.

The processing unit 123 also obtains the processing path of the workpiece according to the 3D model 100, and determines the processing information according to the offset and the processing path, that is, the 3D model 100 provides the 3D structure of the workpiece, and the user (programmer) transmits the 3D model 100. Visually set the machining path, and then cooperate with the identification results of the captured image, such as position, offset, etc., to obtain the processing information required for subsequent processing and production.

The processing information generated by the processing unit 123 is a position coordinate of the visually presented image data, such as a point on the processing path or a path data of the continuous and irregular curve, and a pre-executed processing action, and the path information or the processing action described above The user is visualized by the user through the 3D model 100. More specifically, in addition to the path information of each node, straight line, continuous turn, continuous curve and irregular figure on the processing path, there is also a processing action to be performed by a certain node on the machining path, such as drilling. Holes, lock screws, etc.

The processing information generated by the processing unit 123 is transmitted to the controller 13, and the controller 13 generates a control command according to the processing information, that is, the controller 13 converts the processing information into a control code that can be understood by the machine device, thereby controlling the automation concept. The machining axis 14 of the production machine 1 of the automated machining machine executes a machining program corresponding to the machining information of the workpiece, and the so-called machining program changes depending on the function of the machine, such as dispensing, clamping, sucking, sending out the tin wire or For cutting, for example, in the case of a dispenser, the machining program executes the dispensing process based on the machining information, and in the case of a cutting and cutting machine, the machining program can execute the cutting program. In one embodiment, the controller 13 can be a field effect programmable logic gate array (FPGA) controller.

When the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated machining is embodied, a machining system can be loaded therein, for example, loaded into the machining information generator 12, and the production machine 1 for executing the automation concept and the automated machining is soft. The hardware operation, for example, receiving an instruction, executing an operation, and outputting an instruction, through the connection of the image capture device 11 and the controller 13, performs the operation of the machine hardware device in addition to the operation of processing the information.

As can be seen from the above, the present invention proposes to confirm whether the position of the workpiece is correct through the image recognition technology, and to determine the processing information by capturing the image and the 3D model 100, so that only the image capturing device 11 and the 3D model 100 input in advance are needed. Easily obtain processing information, which reduces the trouble of the programmer to separately write the machining path program to execute the machining program for different workpieces, and can also shorten the time course for writing the machining path program and improve the precision of workpiece machining.

Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a schematic view of another embodiment of a production machine for automated concepts and automated machining of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in addition to the processing information generated by the 3D model and the captured image, the production machine of the automation concept and the automated processing can also perform the setting of the machining program before the execution of the machining program. Therefore, in this embodiment, The processing information generator 12 further includes a setting unit 124.

The setting unit 124 can be used to set the traveling speed of each node on the machining path or the moving step unit of the machining axis of the production machine. In detail, the machining axis 14 of the production machine of the automation concept and the automated machining (as shown in Fig. 1) executes the machining program according to the machining information, that is, performs the operations such as dispensing, cutting, etc., but the aforementioned 3D model is mainly The processing path is obtained, but the processing speed is undefined. Therefore, the setting unit 124 can receive the externally input processing setting 200, such as the traveling speed of each node on the processing path, that is, the traveling speed of each segment on the processing path. For example, how fast it is between two nodes.

In addition, the setting unit 124 can also set the moving step unit of the machining axis. In short, the setting unit 124 can set the position control of the X, Y, Z axis and the θ angle, that is, the user can set the moving step unit by himself. For example, each time the movement is 50 mm to 0.01 mm, the unit in which the machining axis moves each time on the X, Y, Z axis and the θ angle is set, and it is known how the machining axis moves to the node where the machining operation is to be performed. The above functions are similar to the attached teaching box of the existing processing machine, but the present invention integrates it into the processing information generator 12, and can perform setting directly through the operation panel provided on the production machine of the automation concept and the automated processing.

Please refer to Fig. 3, which is a schematic view showing still another embodiment of the production machine of the automation concept and automated processing of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the image capturing device 11, the processing information generator 12, and the controller 13 in the production machine 1 of the automated concept and the automated processing are the same as those described in FIG. 1 and will not be described again. In this embodiment, The automation concept and the automated production machine 1 further comprise a detector 15.

Referring to FIG. 1 together, the detector 15 can determine the type of the workpiece through the captured image captured by the image capturing device 11, that is, using the image recognition technology to determine the type of the workpiece and notify the processing information generator 12 The processing unit 123 will acquire the 3D model 100 of the workpiece from the storage unit 121 according to the category of the workpiece. In short, in order to allow the production machine 1 using the automation concept and the automated machining to perform the machining production of different workpieces, the 3D model 100 of different types of workpieces can be pre-stored in the storage unit 121 to be processed. At the time of production, the corresponding 3D model 100 is acquired by the storage unit 121. Therefore, the detector 15 can be used to determine the suitable type of workpiece through image recognition before the workpiece enters the processing position, so that the processing information generator 12 can be notified which 3D to acquire. Model 100 is used to generate processing information.

In addition, in addition to determining the type of workpiece, the detector 15 can also be used to detect whether the workpiece meets the processing criteria. In short, the detector 15 can compare the difference between the completed image of the workpiece that completes the processing program and the predetermined finished image, and the completed image can also be captured by the image capturing device 11 through the difference comparison between the completed image and the finished image. Determine whether the workpiece meets the predetermined result of the machining program. For example, after completing the machining procedure of the lock screw, the normal screw should completely enter the workpiece without being exposed. If the image is resolved and the screw is exposed, it can be judged that the machining program needs to be adjusted. If it is only an accidental event, it can also be designed to remove the problematic workpiece from the production line.

In this way, the processing line is no longer limited to a single workpiece, such as different workpieces, or workpieces of the same type but different sizes, which can be image-identified to provide appropriate processing information. In addition, for the workpiece processing results, image recognition can also be used to determine whether the processing effect is in compliance.

Compared with traditional processing and production, for example, if the machining program locks a screw for the job of the production line, the manual production must include front work and online work before the manual production. The front work may teach the operator to recognize the workpiece. Appearance, which screws and lock screw tools are used, and how to check that the screws are properly locked. In addition, the online work may have: 1. Check the production line status, that is, whether the workpiece is transferred from the previous station; 2. Identify whether the workpiece is Correct the workpiece, and judge the position and direction of the workpiece, find the position of the processing screw hole; 3. Lock the screw; 4. Check whether the screw is locked correctly; 5. If it is locked correctly, the workpiece will continue to the next processing flow. , the workpiece is taken out.

It can be seen that the traditional processing and production requires considerable manpower and time, and the human error may result in poor completion of the workpiece or the completion of the workpiece with poor completion.

If the production concept of the automation concept and the automated machining machine of the present invention is used to perform the machining production, the front work may be an automatic control flow for setting the lock screw, that is, by setting the lock screw position by the 3D model of the workpiece. The online operation is: 1. The image capture device (2D or 3D) performs image recognition to confirm the status on the production line, that is, whether the workpiece has been transferred from the previous station; 2. The image capture device performs image recognition to confirm the workpiece type. And the position and direction of the workpiece; 3. The locking screw processing program (ie processing information) is obtained from the 3D model and the captured image, and the locking screw mechanism is driven; 4. The image recognition is used to determine whether the locking screw meets the predetermined standard; The workpiece is driven to the next processing flow by the program-driven transfer mechanism, and if the predetermined standard is not reached, the part is taken out.

It can be seen from the above that by setting different machining programs, after identifying the workpiece type, the corresponding program operation can be driven, so that different workpieces can be operated in the same production machine. For example, a square workpiece and a circular workpiece work on the same production line. A square workpiece needs to be locked with a screw at a selected position. The circular workpiece needs to be screwed at two selected positions, so the visual setting is The program setting of the two workpieces can be easily performed, and the program corresponding to the workpiece is automatically selected through image recognition.

Taking the sole processing as an example, the soles of different sizes and different shoe types need to be glued to fit the body of the shoe. Generally speaking, there are several design difficulties in the sole dispensing: 1. Too many types: light is The same type of shoes have different sizes; 2, the path is complicated: the dispensing path is difficult to set due to the high and low changes of the sole surface and the curve is complicated; 3. There are too many fixtures: different soles need different fixtures to fix the workpiece.

If the production concept of the automation concept and the automated processing proposed by the present invention is used to perform the processing and production, the method can be: 1. According to different soles, the dispensing path is set by using the 3D model, that is, the processing path can be visualized. Complete, so the size and height change and complex dispensing curve, just click on the computer can automatically generate the processing path; 2, the production line is simple to feed, no need for fixtures, only processing face up, any direction After the image is captured, the shoe shape and size can be identified, and then the position and direction and angle of the image are determined, and the dispensing path of the correct size and model is automatically corresponding to the actual position, and the processing operation such as dispensing is performed.

It can be seen from the above that the automated processing program generated by the image recognition operation will make the production machine application wider and reduce human error.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram showing the specific application of the automation concept of the present invention and the production machine of the automated processing. As shown in the figure, the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated processing is a dispenser, which is provided with a processing shaft 14, the processing shaft 14 can be provided with a dispensing cylinder 45, and the dispensing cylinder 45 is equipped with a dispensing glue. The workpiece 600 can be disposed on the working platform 46 of the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated processing. In particular, the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated processing of the present invention is provided with an image capturing device 11 . An image of the workpiece 600 on the work platform 46 is captured, which image can be used for position correction of the workpiece 600. Must be explained. The number and position of the image capturing device 11 are not limited, and the image of the workpiece 600 can be captured.

The processing information generator 12 is disposed in the production machine 1 of the automation concept and the automated processing, and can receive the image captured by the image capturing device 11 and pre-store a plurality of 3D models. As described above, the processing information generator 12 will pass through The 3D model produces the machining path, and also determines whether the workpiece 600 is offset by capturing the image, and can produce the final processing information with some processing settings. Finally, the controller of the production machine 1 through the automation concept and the automated processing will The machining information is transferred to the control command of the control machine to command the machining axis 14 to move according to the machining path, and the dispensing cylinder 45 performs the dispensing process on the preset node.

Further, the above-described machining settings, such as the details of the machining program, such as the moving speed, the moving step unit or the dispensing portion, can be input by the automation concept and the input panel 47 of the automated machine 1 of the production machine. Similarly, the input panel 47 Can be designed according to the needs of the machine.

Please refer to Fig. 5, which is a step-by-step diagram of the operation method of the automatic concept and automated processing machine of the present invention. In step S51, the captured image of the workpiece is provided. Specifically, in order to achieve automatic processing path generation and workpiece position positioning, the present invention proposes to achieve the above requirements through image recognition technology, and thus it is necessary to capture an image of a workpiece through, for example, an image capturing device.

In step S52, a 3D model corresponding to the workpiece is provided. In short, in order to automatically generate the machining path, the user must first type the 3D model of the corresponding workpiece and store it in the production machine of the automation concept and automatic machining. The 3D model can know the 3D structure of the workpiece, which will be used for subsequent processing. The generation of the path.

In step S53, the offset of the workpiece is generated according to the captured image, and the processing path of the workpiece is determined by the 3D model, so that the processing information of the workpiece is generated according to the offset and the processing path. In this step, the captured image can be used to determine the positional offset of the workpiece. For example, an origin position is set at the placement of the workpiece, which will correspond to the preset origin of the workpiece, and then the image is analyzed by the captured image. The difference between the positions of the two origins can be used to know the offset of the workpiece. Then, the 3D model can construct the processing path, and with the above offset (if any), the entire processing information can be completely constructed. The information includes the path data of the point or continuous curve on the machining path and the pre-executed machining action.

It should be noted that the offset can be used to determine the positional distance between the origin of the workpiece and the preset origin through image recognition technology. This is achieved by using the image recognition technology, and by setting the origin method, of course, other methods can be used, for example. The other corresponding points are preset, and then the image recognition is used to achieve the offset determination.

In step S54, a control command is generated according to the machining information to control the machining axis to execute a machining program corresponding to the machining information. As described in the previous step, after the processing information is obtained, it can be converted into a coding program that can be analyzed by the machine, thereby controlling the machining axis to execute a machining program on the machining information, for example, how to move to a node, and at the node Perform machining operations on it.

In addition, when processing information is generated according to the processing path, it further includes setting a traveling speed of each node on the processing path or a moving step unit of the processing axis. This step is to let the user set the details of the machining program, including the speed of travel on the machining path during machining, or the position (node) to be processed.

Furthermore, after the processing program is executed, the degree of difference between the completed image of the workpiece that completes the processing program and the predetermined finished image may be compared to determine whether the workpiece meets the predetermined result of the processing program, and the purpose is to determine the processing. Whether the result is in line with expectations, and preferably, the poor quality workpiece can be removed from the production line for the judgment result.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a flow chart of the actual operation method of the automatic concept and automated processing machine of the present invention. A graphical interface 500 can be designed on the production machine for automation concepts and automated machining, which allows the user to select options or input data, so that the graphical interface 500 captures images and artifacts before the processing information is automatically generated. The 3D model is achieved by the provision of the image recognition 300 and the setting of the 3D solid model 400.

In the process S61, the workpiece is selected, and the 3D processing path is generated by combining the image recognition and the 3D solid model. Specifically, this refers to the case where only a single type of workpiece is executed. After the user selects the workpiece to be executed, the user can automatically generate the 3D processing path, perform the action, etc. through the provision of the image recognition 300 and the 3D solid model 400 described above. Processing information, through image comparison can make the processing more accurate, and can save the time required for programmers to write their own code, especially if the processing path is curve, it will take more time and cost.

In the process S62, the 3D processing path is converted into a device operation path by clicking a graphical interface. In short, the user can perform a program for converting the 3D processing path of the workpiece into the operation path of the device when the machining axis moves through the graphical interface 500. For example, when the processing path is a circle and is converted into a device operation path, Then, it indicates how much the X-axis and the Y-axis and the Z-axis are displaced from the θ angle.

In the flow S63, the traveling speed of each node, the machining operation to be executed, and the movement step unit of the machining axis are set. In this step, the user can set the movement mode of the machining axis according to the processing demand. For example, the movement speed between the two points, the nodes need to perform the machining action, or the stepping unit when the machining axis moves, the above It can be set by the user. It should be noted that the order of the processes S61, S62, and S63 can be adjusted before and after, and is not limited.

In the process S64, processing information is generated. Since the 3D machining path is a graphical representation, the machining path can be converted into machining information, that is, the machining path is represented by numbers or data, for example, the movement state of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, the Z-axis direction, and the θ angle. And moving distance.

In the process S65, the FPGA controller generates a control instruction. As described in the previous step, after the processing information is obtained, it needs to be converted into the operating code that the machine knows. Therefore, this step is to parse and convert the processing information into a control command through the FPGA controller.

In the flow S66, the machining program is executed by the 3 to 6 axis machining axes. After obtaining the control command, the machining axis can execute the machining program according to the control command. The machining axis can be a 3-6 axis structure, and the X axis, the Y axis, the Z axis, the θ angle and the direction movement can be provided according to the design, or The X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are the rotation of the axis.

Through the above process description, the 3D model and the visual image immediate recognition are used to perform the automatic processing, which includes determining the rotation path or the offset and the size of the workpiece according to the captured image, and determining the processing path of the workpiece through the 3D model. That is to say, combined with the image recognition technology and the 3D model architecture, the processing information can be automatically generated, and then, in combination with some processing machine settings, the processing machine can execute the processing program corresponding to the processing information.

In summary, the present invention provides a production machine and an operation method for the automation concept and the automatic processing, and uses the 3D model of the corresponding workpiece input and the image recognition technology to confirm whether the workpiece position is offset or not.
