After water jet processing, a 43-degree slope is formed behind the basin, and then the panel is processed with a slope of 47 degrees. Finally, it is assembled into a complete basin plus panel product.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN114603489A discloses a device and method for intelligently identifying and cutting seamless products with a visually guided water jet, including a water jet cutting machine and a visual inspection module. The lower end of the water jet cutting machine is provided with a workbench, the middle of the workbench is recessed to form a working groove, a wash basin bracket is installed in the working groove, a rock plate bracket is installed at the upper right end of the workbench, and the visual inspection module is installed directly above the wash basin bracket.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings;

[0019] Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic diagram of the method steps of a multi-station processing method for a wash basin by water jet cutting. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up-down-left-right-front-back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship - movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0023] See also Figure 1 As shown, a multi-station processing method for a wash basin by water jet cutting, the processing method comprises the following steps;

[0024] S1: Assemble the image recognition module and fix it on the water jet cutting module, set the coordinate axis of the image recognition module to overlap with the processing coordinate system of the water jet cutting module, and determine the proportional relationship of the coordinate coefficient value;

[0025] S2: Manually place two basins on station one and station two, and adjust the fixtures to make the basins level;

[0026] S3: Control the water jet cutting module to move to the basins of station one and station two respectively, the image recognition module is powered on to emit a laser to contact the boundary line of the basins of station one and station two, and then record the laser height, XY coordinate points and matching stations to form a CAD drawing of double-station processing, and determine the processing position of the water jet cutting module;

[0027] S4: Start the water jet cutting module to start processing. After the processing of station one is completed, the basin is manually removed from station one and a new basin is installed. After the water jet cutting module completes the processing of station two, the basin is manually removed from station two and a new basin is installed. The reciprocating up and down basin operation enables the water jet cutting module to work non-stop.

[0028] The image recognition module software can also set a CAD drawing for cutting a countertop that matches the basin; when working, by inputting different processing drawings into the software in the image recognition module, objects of different shapes can be processed, thereby diversifying the processing.

[0029] The image recognition module software automatically outputs basin cutting and board cutting files, wherein basin cutting carries default white information for use in the system layer process; board cutting files automatically carry red information for use in the system layer process; when working, the objects being cut are distinguished by simple colors, so that people can easily distinguish where the objects to be processed should be placed accurately. This is a fool-proof design that prevents people from cutting the basin according to the procedure of the countertop and causing damage, and solves the problem that the data graphs in the existing software have consistent colors and it is difficult to distinguish the corresponding objects.

[0030] The image recognition module software realizes stable and efficient recognition by superimposing a four-point positioning algorithm to remove bright spots, weak light spots and stray light algorithms; when working, the laser emitted by the level in the image recognition module can be accurately identified by superimposing a four-point positioning algorithm to remove bright spots, weak light spots and stray light algorithms, thereby reducing the influence of scattered light generated when the laser contacts the basin, and solving the problem of low recognition accuracy of existing visual recognition software.

[0031] The water jet cutting module can manually select double-station or single-station processing through the control software. The double-station, that is, continuous reciprocating processing between station one and station two, is performed until the preset processing quantity is reached or manual intervention stops; after cutting the basin, the software automatically generates a corresponding barcode or QR code for each basin, in 2 copies; when working, the software can simply set single-station processing or double-station cycle processing, which can be adjusted according to order requirements to achieve efficiency adjustment, and there is arbitrarily choice of manual stop or counting stop, which solves the problem that the single-station processing efficiency of existing basin processing equipment can only be selected between low and lower.

[0032] By adopting the above scheme, when the present invention is in use, through S1: assembling the image recognition module and fixing it on the water jet cutting module, setting the coordinate axis of the image recognition module to overlap with the processing coordinate system of the water jet cutting module, and determining the proportional relationship of the coordinate coefficient values; S2: manually placing two basins on station one and station two, and adjusting the fixture to make the basins in a horizontal state; S3: controlling the water jet cutting module to move to the basins of station one and station two respectively, the image recognition module is powered on to emit a laser to contact the boundary line of the basins of station one and station two, and then recording the laser height, XY coordinate points and matching stations to form a CAD drawing for double-station processing, and determining the processing position of the water jet cutting module; S4: starting the water jet cutting module to start processing, after the processing of station one is completed, manually removing the basin from station one and installing a new basin, after the water jet cutting module completes the processing of station two, manually removing the basin from station two and installing a new basin; reciprocating up and down basin operations realize non-stop operation of the water jet cutting module.
