[First Embodiment]

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7 , this embodiment provides an automated production line system 100 . As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the automated production line system 100 includes a workstation 1 , an inspection device 2 disposed on the workstation 1 , and a controller electrically coupled to the workstation 1 and the inspection device 2 device 3. Next, the components of the automated production line system 100 and their connection relationships will be introduced below.

The workstation 1 can be used to transport and process a first object to be processed 200A and a second object to be processed 200B of the same item, so that the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B are fabricated into the same final product. Specifically, in this embodiment, the workstation 1 includes a pick-and-place mechanism 11 , a first conveyor belt 12A and a second conveyor belt 12B disposed on one side of the pick-and-place mechanism 11 , and a first conveyor belt 12B disposed on the first conveyor belt 12 A first processing mechanism 13A on a conveyor belt 12A, and a second processing mechanism 13B disposed on the second conveyor belt 12B.

The pick-and-place mechanism 11 has an active area, and the pick-and-place mechanism 11 is used to pick and place the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B in the active region. Specifically, the pick-and-place mechanism 11 is composed of a first clamping arm unit 111 and a second clamping arm unit 112 in this embodiment, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the pick-and-place mechanism 11 may also be a single crane, multiple robot arms, or other devices capable of picking and placing objects to move.

Further, the first gripper arm unit 111 and the second gripper arm unit 112 are spaced apart from each other, and the first gripper arm unit 111 has a first gripper unit for picking up and placing the first workpiece 200A. The sub-active area Ar1, the second clamping arm unit 112 has a function for picking up and placing the second to-be-processed object A second sub-active area Ar2 of 200B. That is to say, the active area includes the first sub-active area Ar1 and the second sub-active area Ar2 in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the first conveyor belt 12A and the second conveyor belt 12B are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other in this embodiment, and the first conveyor belt 12A and the second conveyor belt 12B have One end is located in the first sub-active area Ar1 respectively, and the other ends of the first conveyor belt 12A and the second conveyor belt 12B are located in the second sub-active area Ar2 respectively, but the present invention is not limited here. In practice, the first conveyor belt 12A and the second conveyor belt 12B may be located in the active area. In addition, the conveying directions of the first conveying belt 12A and the second conveying belt 12B in this embodiment are opposite to each other.

For the convenience of further description, the first conveyor belt 12A, the first clamping arm unit 111 , and the first processing mechanism 13A are regarded as one production line herein. The second conveyor belt 12B, the second clamping arm unit 112, and the second processing mechanism 13B are regarded as one production line here.

That is to say, the first conveyor belt 12A can be used by the first clamping arm unit 111 to place and transport the first object to be processed 200A, and the first processing mechanism 13A can be configured to process all the objects. The first object to be processed 200A is described. The second conveyor belt 12B can be used by the second clamping arm unit 112 to place and transport the second object to be processed 200B, and the second processing mechanism 13B can be configured to process the second object to be processed. Processed product 200B.

In terms of production line, the workstation 1 has a first path and a second path in this embodiment, and the first path is the path of the first object to be processed 200A on the first conveyor belt track, the second path is the path track of the second object to be processed 200B on the second conveyor belt 12B.

In addition, based on the fact that the first sub-active area Ar1 and the second sub-active area Ar2 are located at the common ends of the first conveyor belt 12A and the second conveyor belt 12B, respectively, the first path ( direction) and the second path (direction) are opposite to each other in this embodiment (such as thick black arrows shown in FIG. 2 ), but the present invention is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, according to the designer's production line configuration, the directions or routes of the first path and the second path can be adjusted appropriately.

It can be understood that, because the first processing mechanism 13A and the second processing mechanism 13B can respectively include a variety of processing programs (for example: drilling first and then cutting), the first path and the second path are It can be seen that the first object to be processed 200A has a corresponding processed state (for example, a drilled state, a drilled and flattened state) at any position of the first conveyor belt 12A. Sample). Of course, any position of the second object to be processed 200B on the second conveyor belt 12B also has a corresponding processed state (for example, a state of being drilled, a state of being drilled and flattened) Sample).

In order to facilitate the subsequent description, in this embodiment, according to the (direction of) the first path and the (direction of) the second path, the first processing mechanism 13A and the second processing mechanism 13B are exemplified here. Each of them sequentially has a first processing procedure for flattening (area A in FIG. 2 ), a second processing procedure for perforation (area B in FIG. 2 ), and a third processing procedure for electroplating (Fig. Area C) in 2, that is, any position of the first object to be processed 200A on the first conveyor belt 12A has a corresponding processed state.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the inspection device 2 is provided in this embodiment and includes a plurality of sensing modules 21 , and a fog computing module 22 electrically coupled to the plurality of sensing modules 21 . . The plurality of sensing modules 21 can obtain the position of the first object to be processed 200A (on the first conveyor belt 12A) and the corresponding state of the processed object, and the second object to be processed The location of 200B (on the second conveyor belt 12B) and the corresponding processed state are further used for the fog computing module 22 to determine whether a first abnormal event or a first abnormal event occurs in the workstation 1. Two abnormal events.

For the convenience of description, the plurality of sensing modules 21 and the fog computing module 22 will be introduced first, and then the first abnormal event and the second abnormal event will be introduced.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the plurality of sensing modules 21 are image capture devices in this embodiment, and the plurality of sensing modules 21 are installed on the workstation 1 in an erected manner, so that all The plurality of sensing modules 21 can capture real-time images of the first conveyor belt 12A, the second conveyor belt 12B, the first processing mechanism 13A, and the second processing mechanism 13B.

In practice, each of the plurality of sensing modules 21 has an IP Address, and the IP Address can be used to confirm the identity of each of the sensing modules 21, so as to provide the fog The computing module 22 further learns what the corresponding captured image information of each of the sensing modules 21 is. And the plurality of sensing modules 21 can be used to sense the positions of the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B and their corresponding processed states and generate a judgment parameter. .

For example, the number of the plurality of sensing modules 21 disposed on the first conveyor belt 12A is three, and is defined as a first sensing module 21 and a first sensing module 21 according to the first path. Two sensing modules 21 and a third sensing module 21 . The first sensing module 21 is responsible for capturing the image of the region position of the first conveyor belt 12A corresponding to the first processing procedure as the judgment parameter, and has an address mark of 163.13.1; The second sensing module 21 is responsible for capturing the image of the region position of the first conveyor belt 12A corresponding to the second processing program as the judgment parameter, and has an address mark of 163.13.2; the The third sensing module 21 is responsible for capturing the image of the region position of the first conveyor belt 12A corresponding to the third processing program, and has an address mark of 163.13.3.

The fog computing module 22 can receive each of the judgment parameters according to the plurality of address indicators, and judge whether the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event occurs on the workstation 1 . In practice, in this embodiment, the fog computing module 22 can perform image analysis and judgment on the plurality of judgment parameters through a neural network-like road algorithm (for example: yolo), for example, by using the graphic matrix in the image. , color, depth and other data for analysis and judgment. It should be noted that the fog computing module 22 analyzes and judges the image through the neural network-like road algorithm algorithm, which is the prior art and is not the present invention. , so it is not specifically explained here.

It should be emphasized that although the plurality of sensing modules 21 in this embodiment are image capture devices as an example, and the fog computing module 22 uses images to analyze and judge, but in the present invention In other not-shown embodiments, the plurality of sensing modules 21 can also use infrared dots or ultrasonic reflection to sense the first conveyor belt 12A or the second object to be processed 200B at The location of the second conveyor belt 12B and the corresponding processed state are used to further identify whether the first abnormal event and the second abnormal event occur.

For example, the normal time for the first object to be processed 200A to pass through a specific area of the first conveyor belt 12A is once per minute, but the first object to be processed 200A is caused by the abnormality of the first processing mechanism 13A. In case of an event (eg: crash), the first object to be processed fails to pass through the above-mentioned specific area every minute as scheduled, and the fog computing module 22 will determine that the first abnormal event occurs.

Next, the first abnormal event and the second abnormal event will be described below, but it should be noted that the only difference between the first abnormal event and the second abnormal event is that they occur in the first conveyor belt 12A or The second conveyor belt 12B, so the following examples are only described with the first abnormal event. The portion of the first machining mechanism 13A shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 corresponding to executing the first machining program is abnormal and cannot be executed.

As shown in FIG. 3 , along the first path, the first processing procedure is flattening (ie, area A), the second processing procedure is perforation (ie, area B), and the third processing procedure is electroplating (i.e. area C). Therefore, in the first conveyor belt 12A, the processed state corresponding to the first object to be processed 200A away from the first processing program position should be "flattened", and the processed state corresponding to the first object to be processed 200A away from the first processing program position should be "flattened". The processed state corresponding to the first object to be processed 200A at the processing program position should be “flattened” and “with perforations”, and the first object to be processed 200A that is away from the third processing program position should be The corresponding processed state should be "flattened", "with perforation", "plated".

Therefore, when the first object to be processed 200A leaves the In the area position, the processed aspect of the first object to be processed 200A is only “with perforations”, it can be understood that the processed aspect of the first object to be processed 200A lacks the “perforation”. Flattening”, that is, the first machining mechanism 13A has abnormality and cannot execute the first machining program. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , when only the first object to be processed 200A with “perforation” moves to a position corresponding to the second processing program, the fog computing module 22 will determine the workstation 1 The first abnormal event occurs. Of course, the second abnormal event is also determined in the same manner as the first abnormal event.

In a preferred case, the automated production line system 100 can further include a cloud device 4, the cloud device 4 is connected to the inspection device 2, and the cloud device 4 can obtain the information through wireless transmission (eg, a wireless network). The judgment parameters of the plurality of sensing modules 21 are transmitted to an electronic device (such as a mobile phone or a computer) for viewing images, and the electronic device can also send a control back through the cloud device 4 command to the edge computing module 32 .

That is to say, the user can use the plurality of judgment parameters as images and the corresponding address indications through the electronic device to understand the processing status of the current production line more simply and in real time. In addition, the user can also send the control command through the electronic device according to the current processing conditions, so as to further adjust the production line through the edge computing module 32 , that is, use the electronic device to control the workstation 1 .

It should be noted that, using the electronic device to send the control command to the edge computing module 32 through the cloud device 4 to further control the workstation 1 is a prior art and is not the focus of this case, so here is not particularly detailed.

Next, referring back to FIG. 1 , the control device 3 in this embodiment includes a plurality of control modules 31 electrically coupled to the workstation 1 , and a plurality of control modules 31 electrically coupled to the plurality of control modules 31 . An edge computing module 32 . The edge computing module 32 can receive a parameter data of the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event, and instruct the plurality of control modules 31 to control according to the parameter data. The workstation 1 is controlled to perform a first exclusion action or a second exclusion action.

For convenience of description, the first exclusion action and the second exclusion action will be further described after the plurality of control modules 31 and the edge computing module 32 are described.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the plurality of control modules 31 are respectively electrically coupled to the pick-and-place mechanism 11 , the first conveyor belt 12A, the second conveyor belt 12B, and the first processing mechanism 13A , and the second processing mechanism 13B, and the plurality of control modules 31 can respectively control the pick-and-place mechanism 11 , the first conveyor belt 12A, the second conveyor belt 12B, the first Operation of the processing mechanism 13A and the second processing mechanism 13B. For example, the control module 31 can control the picking and placing positions of the pick-and-place mechanism 11 , the conveying direction and speed of the first conveyor belt 12A, or the execution or stop of the first processing mechanism 13A. processing program, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the edge computing module 32 is a PLC controller in this embodiment, and has functions such as logic control, timing control, analog control, and multi-computer communication. The edge computing module 32 is electrically coupled to the plurality of control modules 31 and the inspection equipment 2, and the edge computing module 32 can utilize the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event. The parameter data generates an edge control command, and transmits the edge control command to the plurality of control modules 31 , so that the workstation 1 executes the first exclusion action or the second exclusion action.

It should be understood that the purpose of the workstation 1 performing the first elimination action and the second elimination action is to enable the production operation of the production line where the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event occurs, to be able to immediately Replaced by another production line, thus ensuring the maintenance of production capacity.

Specifically, when the workstation 1 performs the first exclusion action, the position of the pick-and-place mechanism 11 for placing the first object to be processed 200A is adjusted to the second conveyor belt 12B, and The second conveyor belt 12B adjusts its corresponding position according to the processed state of the first object to be processed 200A, so that the second processing mechanism 13B can be used for processing The first object to be processed 200A is configured so that the processed state of the first object to be processed 200A matches its position on the second conveyor belt 12B.

Similarly, when the workstation 1 performs the second exclusion action, the position of the pick-and-place mechanism 11 for placing the second object to be processed 200B is adjusted to the first conveyor belt 12A, and all The first conveyor belt 12A adjusts its corresponding position according to the processed state of the second object to be processed 200B, so that the first processing mechanism 13A can be used to process the second object to be processed 200B, The processed state of the second object to be processed 200B is matched to its position on the first conveyor belt 12A.

Next, an example is given below to illustrate how the plurality of control modules 31 , the edge computing modules 32 , and the workstation 1 execute the first exclusion action and the second exclusion action, but the present invention does not apply Limited by this example.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 , it is assumed that the inspection device 2 determines that the first abnormal event occurs in the workstation 1 is: the first machining mechanism fails and cannot execute the first machining program (ie, flattening machining), As a result, the processed state when the first object to be processed 200A is located in the region corresponding to the second processing program only has "perforations" but lacks "flattening", that is, the situation shown in FIG. 3 .

The edge computing module 32 will receive the parameter data of the first abnormal event, and the edge computing module 32 will issue the edge control command after analyzing and calculating using the parameter data, so that the The pick-and-place mechanism 11 , the second conveyor belt 12B, and the second processing mechanism 13B perform the first removal action. The first exclusion action is: the position of the pick-and-place mechanism 11 for placing the first object to be processed 200A is adjusted to the second conveyor belt 12B, so that the first object to be processed 200A is placed on the second conveyor belt 12B. Put it on the second conveyor belt 12B (as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 ).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the second conveyor belt 12B is based on the first The processed state of the object to be processed 200A (ie, lack of "flattening") adjusts the position of the first object to be processed 200A, so that the first object to be processed 200A is sent to the second processing mechanism 13B executes the region position of the first machining program, so that the first object to be machined 200A is machined (flattened), and its machining state is "flattened" and "with perforations". At the same time, the second conveyor belt 12B will then transport the first object to be processed 200A to the position of the third processing program, so that the processed state of the first object to be processed matches the state of the first object to be processed. The state it should have at its location (i.e. "flattened" and "perforated").

Finally, as shown in FIG. 7 , the second conveyor belt 12 will transport the first object to be processed 200A to the active area of the first clamping arm unit 111 , and the first clamping arm unit 111 will complete the processing The first object to be processed 200A is clamped away from the second conveyor belt 12B, thereby completing the processing flow of the first object to be processed 200A on the second path.

In a preferred case, the control device 3 can further include a report module 33 (eg, a message transmitter), the report module 33 is electrically coupled to the inspection device 2, and the report module 33 When the inspection equipment 2 determines that the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event occurs, it can be used to send an event notification to the electronic device, so as to let the user know that the production line has abnormal conditions, so as to facilitate dispatch Personnel can view it immediately.

[Second Embodiment]

As shown in FIG. 8 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment summarizes an abnormality elimination method of an automated production line system from the above-mentioned first embodiment. The abnormality elimination method of the present invention is applicable to an automated production line system 100 (eg, the automated production line system of the above-mentioned embodiment), and the abnormality elimination method includes steps S101 to S105 .

A monitoring step S101 is implemented: obtaining the positions of the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B and their processed state. For example, when the first conveyor belt 12A corresponds to the position of the first processing program, the current state of the first object to be processed 200A being processed.

In a preferred case, the abnormality elimination method can further include implementing a return step S102 after the monitoring step S101 . The returning step S102 : uploading the locations of the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B and the processed state thereof to the cloud device 4 and used for the electronic device (eg, : mobile phone) is used for viewing, but the designer can omit this step according to the design requirements.

A judging step S103 is implemented: judging whether the positions of the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B and their processed state respectively match a reference table. If the first object to be processed 200A and the second object to be processed 200B match the reference table, then the monitoring step S101 is performed. Conversely, if the first object to be processed 200A or/and the second object to be processed 200B do not match the reference table, a situation occurrence step S103 ′ is implemented: when the first object to be processed 200A does not match the issued The first abnormal event; when the second object to be processed 200B does not match, the second abnormal event is issued.

Wherein, the reference table actually includes the first object to be processed 200A (or the second object to be processed 200B) on each of the first conveyor belt 12A (or the second conveyor belt 12B). What kind of processed state the position should have.

In addition, in a preferred case, the abnormality elimination method can further include implementing a notification step S104 after the determination step S103 . The notification step S104: when at least one of the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event is issued, use the reporting module 33 to send an event notification to the electronic device, but the designer can design omit this step if required.

A command step S105 is implemented: using the parameter data of the first abnormal event or the second abnormal event, instruct the workstation 1 to execute the first exclusion action or the second exclusion action.
