Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile detection, in particular to an automobile paint film defect detection device based on machine vision. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of electronics and computer technology, machine vision software and hardware have also advanced rapidly, providing an optimal solution for online detection of paint film defects. Using machines to replace the human eye for paint film defect detection has become a key trend in modern industrial development. In terms of technical skills and specifications, using machine vision for surface defect detection offers numerous advantages. First, machine vision is a non-contact, non-destructive method for detection, making it safe and reliable. Second, compared to camera-based analysis of the human eye, machine vision can replace and even surpass the human eye, achieving even more powerful and efficient detection capabilities.
[0003] Cars are widely used in our daily lives and have become our preferred mode of transportation. During the production process, the quality of the paint job directly reflects the appearance of the car. However, impurities are inevitably present during the painting process, which can lead to cosmetic defects such as bumps and concave spots on the finished paint surface. Furthermore, during the assembly of painted parts, scratches on the paint surface are inevitable, resulting in cosmetic defects such as scratches and paint peeling on the assembled vehicle. These cosmetic defects inevitably lead to sales and production disputes during car sales. To avoid these disputes, it is essential to inspect the entire vehicle's paint surface before it leaves the factory.
[0004] Currently, automotive paint inspection primarily relies on visual inspection, which is highly subjective and highly influenced by the proficiency of the inspector. Furthermore, because paint surfaces are highly reflective and significantly affected by lighting angles, visual inspection inevitably results in many missed inspections. Furthermore, long-term inspections can cause eye fatigue, which can also lead to missed appearance defects. Due to the slow speed, high missed inspection rate, and poor reliability of visual inspection, it is not feasible to implement integrated inspection throughout the entire production process. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle paint film defect detection device based on machine vision, which can not only effectively improve the detection accuracy and higher reliability, but also effectively increase the detection speed to meet the needs of assembly line detection.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a machine vision-based automotive paint film defect detection device, comprising a fixed bracket 1, within which is disposed a detection assembly comprising a first detection light source and a second detection light source. Both the first detection light source and the second detection light source are fixed to the inner walls at both ends and the inner side of the top of the fixed bracket 1. The first detection light source is a fluorescent lamp 8, and the second detection light source is a downlight 9, which is located to the right of the fluorescent lamp 8. The left side of the fixed bracket 1 is the first detection light source area, and the right side of the first detection light source area is the second detection light source area.
[0028] Fluorescent lamp 8 is rectangular in shape and consists of multiple fluorescent tubes arranged side by side. Several fluorescent lamps 8 are installed in two rows within bracket 1, with each lamp 8 aligned closely to ensure sufficient light source. The smoothness of the paint surface is determined by the light reflected from the fluorescent lamp 8. If the paint surface area near the fluorescent lamp 8 is brighter, it indicates a convex defect; if the area farther from the fluorescent lamp 8 is brighter, it indicates a concave or jagged defect.
[0029] The outer side of the downlight 9 is circular, and a plurality of downlights 9 are evenly arranged inside the fixing bracket 1. The downlight 9 is used to check whether the paint surface has swirl lines or glare lines.
[0030] A light receiving assembly is provided on one side of the detection assembly. This assembly detects defects in the vehicle's paint film by receiving light reflected from the detection assembly. This assembly comprises a high-definition camera 4, which is fixedly mounted within the fixed bracket 1. Two to three cameras 4 are located on the top and inner walls of the fixed bracket 1. Multiple cameras 4 capture reflected light from the entire vehicle's paint surface, effectively improving detection accuracy.
[0031] The fixing bracket 1 is set on the fixing seat 2. The top surface of the fixing seat 2 is provided with a moving component. The moving component includes a guide rail 11. The guide rail 11 is parallel to the top surface of the fixing seat 2, which can facilitate the car tire to enter the guide rail 11.
[0032] A transmission chain 6 is installed inside the guide rail 11, with transmission motors 7 installed at both ends of the transmission chain 6. The transmission motor 7 enables the transmission chain 6 to rotate repeatedly. Fixed rods 5 are installed horizontally on the transmission chain 6. The fixed rods 5 are evenly arranged on the transmission chain 6, and the distance between adjacent fixed rods 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the vehicle tire.
[0033] When a car enters the guide rail 11, the two adjacent fixing rods 5 secure the car's tires. The car is then put into neutral, and the drive chain 6 rotates, driving the car forward at a constant speed. Once the car enters the inspection area, the paint film is inspected using the inspection assembly and the light source receiving assembly. The drive motor 7 continues to operate, and as other uninspected cars enter the guide rail 11, all-around inspection of the paint film on those uninspected cars is performed. This effectively increases inspection speed to meet the requirements of production line inspection.
[0034] A control panel 3 is provided on the outside of the fixed bracket 1. A display screen 10 is provided above the control panel 3. A transparent protective cover is provided on the outside of the display screen 10 to protect the display screen 10 without obstructing the operator's viewing. The control panel 3 can control the on and off of the detection light source in the detection assembly and also control the operation and stopping of the transmission motor 7.
[0035] The images detected by the high-definition camera 4 can be transmitted to the computer inside the control panel 3. The internal software recognizes the reflected light in the image and then displays the defective positions of the car paint film on the display screen, making it convenient for the staff to mark and record.
[0036] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned automobile paint film defect detection device based on machine vision, which can not only effectively improve the detection accuracy and higher reliability, but also effectively increase the detection speed to meet the needs of assembly line detection.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
