Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of clean panel sorting, and in particular to a double-station robot control method and terminal equipment based on clean panel sorting. Background Art
[0002] In the field of industrial automation production, traditional processing methods for sorting precision and clean materials such as LCD panels, new energy photovoltaic panels, and integrated circuit PCB boards generally suffer from insufficient automation. Existing sorting systems often rely on manual visual inspection or basic mechanical devices for rough classification. The means of collecting material characteristics are limited, usually only able to obtain partial information such as size or weight, and it is difficult to fully reflect the three-dimensional morphological characteristics and surface texture details of the material. This lack of information directly leads to fluctuations in classification accuracy, especially when processing panels and protective cover plates made of mixed materials. Misjudgments or missed inspections are prone to occur, forcing the production line to frequently stop for review, seriously affecting overall operational efficiency.
[0003] Existing sorting equipment has obvious shortcomings in terms of collaborative operation and control accuracy. Dual-station robot systems generally use independent path planning methods and lack an optimization mechanism for the dynamic allocation of workspaces, which leads to overlapping motion trajectories of the robotic arms and frequent motion conflicts and path retractions. Due to the lack of trajectory constraints during the sorting process, the robot's end effector is prone to accidental collisions with materials or tooling, causing scratches on the clean panel surface or deformation of the protective plate cover. The traditional centralized control architecture concentrates data calculations on cloud servers, resulting in real-time response delays and decentralized operation terminal functions. Operators need to switch between multiple interfaces to complete parameter adjustments and status monitoring, further reducing the smoothness of system operation. The equipment protection design is insufficient, the control module is exposed to the production environment for a long time, and dust intrusion can easily cause electrical failures, becoming a potential hidden danger that restricts system stability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a dual-station robot control method and terminal device based on clean panel sorting. This method addresses the aforementioned centralized control architecture, which concentrates data operations on cloud servers, resulting in delayed real-time responses and fragmented terminal functions. Operators must switch between multiple interfaces to complete parameter adjustments and status monitoring, further reducing the smoothness of system operation. Inadequate equipment protection design, long-term exposure of the control module to the production environment, and dust intrusion can easily cause electrical failures, becoming a potential technical problem that restricts system stability.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides the following technical solutions: a dual-station robot control method based on clean panel sorting, comprising: Acquire 3D point clouds and 2D images of different clean panels and protective cover sheets, and analyze them to derive material characteristics. This allows for comprehensive and accurate capture of the material's spatial form and surface information, providing a rich and accurate data foundation for subsequent feature analysis. In practical applications, different panel types and cover sheet materials exhibit significant differences in 3D structure and 2D visual appearance, and these feature analysis results become crucial for identification and sorting. An intelligent classification model is used to identify and output panel types and panel sleeve materials based on the material characteristics, where the panel types include liquid crystal panels, new energy photovoltaic panels, and integrated circuit PCB boards. The intelligent classification model uses the powerful feature learning capabilities of deep learning to automatically extract the most discriminative information from material characteristics. Compared with traditional manual recognition or simple algorithms, its recognition accuracy and efficiency are greatly improved, which can effectively avoid sorting errors caused by manual misjudgment and significantly improve sorting reliability in large-scale production scenarios. Based on a preset sorting action sequence combined with separation trajectory constraints, the robot is collaboratively controlled to sort clean panels and protective cover plates. This combination of preset sorting action sequences and separation trajectory constraints enables the robot to operate in the most rational and safest manner during the sorting process. The preset action sequence represents the optimal operating process developed based on extensive experimentation and practical experience, while the separation trajectory constraints, established through the robot's kinematic and dynamic models, precisely plan the robot's motion path, ensuring collision-free collisions with panels and cover plates even during high-speed sorting. This effectively protects materials from damage and improves sorting efficiency. The robot's dual-station collaborative path is trained based on a preset material stacking method and a preset interlayer pressure threshold. The preset material stacking method and interlayer pressure threshold provide clear goals and standards for dual-station collaborative path training. Different stacking methods are suitable for different types of panels, while the interlayer pressure threshold is determined based on the panel material and thickness. This ensures that the stacked materials remain stable during transportation and storage, preventing damage to the panels due to uneven pressure. Furthermore, dual-station collaborative path training enables efficient coordination between the two workstations, improving overall work efficiency. A spatiotemporal collaboration model is used to optimize the dual-station collaborative path based on the robot's workspace, resulting in the optimal collaborative path. This model fully considers the geometric constraints and time factors of the robot's workspace. By optimizing the dual-station collaborative path, it can rationally arrange the work sequence and time nodes of the two stations, avoiding work conflicts and excessive waiting times. In complex working environments, this model enables the robot to operate efficiently within limited space, further improving the overall efficiency and quality of clean panel sorting.
[0006] Preferably, the step of obtaining three-dimensional point clouds and two-dimensional images of different clean panels and protective plate covers and analyzing them to obtain material characteristics includes: The three-dimensional point cloud and two-dimensional image are obtained through the visual positioning module; the visual positioning module can quickly and stably obtain the three-dimensional point cloud and two-dimensional image of the material, providing raw data for subsequent processing. Its high-precision positioning function can ensure that the acquired image information accurately reflects the actual state of the material. The three-dimensional point cloud and two-dimensional image are preprocessed, including denoising, enhancement and normalization; denoising can remove interference information introduced during the image acquisition process to make the image clearer; enhancement operation can highlight key features in the image to facilitate subsequent extraction; normalization processing unifies the format and range of image data, improves data consistency and comparability, and lays the foundation for accurate extraction of material features. Extract the three-dimensional shape and size features of the 3D point cloud, and the color and texture features of the 2D image. By extracting these features, we can comprehensively describe the appearance and structure of the material. The three-dimensional shape and size features can be used to determine the type and specification of the material, while the color and texture features can help distinguish between different materials, thus providing detailed and effective data support for intelligent classification.

The convolutional neural network model has powerful image and data feature extraction capabilities. Inputting the material features into the model can give full play to its advantages and automatically learn and explore the potential laws in the material features. The convolutional neural network model extracts and classifies the material features, outputting the panel type and panel material. Through multiple layers of convolution and pooling, the model gradually extracts higher-level, more discriminative features, then uses a classifier to accurately classify these features. Compared to traditional methods, this model has higher accuracy and stability in classifying complex material features, enabling rapid and precise identification of panel type and panel material.

Each type of material has its most suitable sorting method. Following the preset action sequence can ensure the standardization and efficiency of the sorting process. The separation trajectory constraint is established using the robot's kinematic and dynamic models to prevent collisions between the robot and the clean panel and protective cover during the sorting process. These models accurately describe the robot's motion patterns and mechanical properties. The separation trajectory constraint, based on these models, monitors and adjusts the robot's path in real time during movement, ensuring a safe distance between the robot and the material. This effectively prevents collisions even during high-speed sorting or in complex environments.
[0009] Preferably, the training of the robot's dual-station collaborative path according to a preset material stacking method and a preset inter-layer pressure threshold includes: The preset material stacking methods include layered stacking and vertical stacking. The interlayer pressure threshold is set based on the material and thickness of the clean panels to ensure the stability of the clean panel stacking. Layered stacking and vertical stacking are suitable for different types and specifications of clean panels. Choosing the right stacking method can improve space utilization. The interlayer pressure threshold ensures uniform force on the panels during stacking, preventing deformation and damage due to excessive or insufficient pressure. By combining the preset stacking method and pressure threshold to train a dual-station collaborative path, the robot can precisely control force and position during the stacking process, achieving efficient and stable stacking operations.
