Automatic cable arrangement device and method based on image recognition

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of cable arrangement, and discloses an automatic cable arrangement device and method based on image recognition. The device comprises a driving mechanism, a main installation frame, a camera, a cable arrangement mechanism, and a control module, wherein the driving mechanism and the cable arrangement mechanism are arranged on the main installation frame, the main installation frame is located on one side of a main cable storage disc, the cable arrangement mechanism is used for reversing and guiding an introduced umbilical cable and winding the umbilical cable around the main cable storage disc, the camera is used for collecting video data of a cable outlet of the cable arrangement mechanism and video data of the main cable storage disc and transmitting the video data to the control module, the control module conducts image processing on the received video data to obtain control information and outputs the control information to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the cable arrangement mechanism to move in parallel in an axial direction of the main cable storage disc according to the control information. According to the device, uniform arrangement of the cable can be automatically realized, the arrangement quality of the cable is greatly improved, the loss of the cable caused by uneven arrangement is avoided, and the service life of the cable is effectively prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable protection and automatic retraction of an underwater cable robot (ROV), and more specifically relates to an automatic cable arrangement device and method based on image recognition. Background technique [0002] When the underwater remote control robot (ROV) works underwater, the umbilical cable needs to be retracted and retracted in real time, especially when performing regional search and rescue operations. Due to the large working range, the cable is retracted and retracted more frequently in order to avoid the cable being entangled on the ground. This frequent retraction and retraction will cause the wear of the cable skin, which is more serious when encountering complex underwater environments. [0003] On the one hand, cable wear comes from the entanglement and friction with underwater obstacles, and on the other hand, it comes from the mutual extrusion and scratching between cables or cable s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the inability to dynamically perceive the status of the cable arrangement in a similar design, when the speed of the cable winch retracts and unwinds and the tension on the cable changes suddenly, there will be leakage, multiple rows, and uneven cable arrangement. Friction and other phenomena greatly affect the life of the cable

Therefore, when encountering such situations, manual intervention is often required to manually correct the status of the cable arrangement, and in serious cases, the system will stop working.
