AI Technical Summary
On intelligent manufacturing conveyor lines, traditional manual counting or mechanical sensor counting methods are inefficient, error-prone, and difficult to adapt to multi-variety, small-batch production. Furthermore, image detection counting equipment is prone to missed detection or duplicate counting when materials overlap.
By longitudinally spanning beams, supports, and connectors above the conveyor line and setting baffles to form a channel, the workpiece is forced to pass through the detection area in a single layer. Industrial cameras are used to count the workpieces, and the image data is analyzed by a computer system to eliminate false detections caused by stacking and overlapping.
This improves the counting accuracy of image detection and counting equipment, ensuring that workpieces pass through the detection area in a single layer, reducing false detections, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of counting.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an image detection and counting device for intelligent manufacturing production, used for counting workpieces during intelligent manufacturing production, with high counting accuracy. Technical solution:
[0026] An image detection and counting device for intelligent manufacturing production is longitudinally mounted above a conveyor line 1, the conveying direction of the conveyor line 1 being from right to left. It includes: a crossbeam 2 mounted on the top of the conveyor line 1, a support member 3 mounted on the side of the crossbeam 2, an industrial camera 4 mounted on one side of the crossbeam 2, located downstream of the conveyor line 1 in the conveying direction, a baffle 5 mounted on the top of the conveyor line 1 and forming a channel 6 between the baffle and the conveyor line 1, the channel 6 allowing single-layer workpieces to pass through, and a connecting part 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the crossbeam 2, the bottom end of the connecting part 7 being connected to the baffle 5.
[0027] Specifically, an industrial camera 4 captures images of a single-layer workpiece, and an external computer system counts the workpieces based on these images. This part is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. By setting up a support member 3, a crossbeam 2, and a connecting part 7, a baffle 5 is suspended above the conveyor line 1. By setting up the baffle 5 and forming a channel 6 between it and the conveyor line 1, the workpiece is forced to pass through the detection area in a single-layer form, eliminating false detection problems caused by stacking and overlapping from a physical perspective, and improving the accuracy of counting. Thus, the image detection and counting device used for intelligent manufacturing production has a high counting accuracy. The surface of the baffle 5 is provided with EVA foam with added antistatic agent to prevent damage to the workpiece due to collision. Preferably, the height of the channel 6 is H, and the height of the workpiece is L, then L < H < 2L.
[0028] The connecting part 7 includes a tube 701 fixedly connected to the bottom of the crossbeam 2. A telescopic rod 702 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube 701. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 702 is connected to the baffle 5. An adjustment hole 703 is opened on the surface of the telescopic rod 702. A locking hole is opened on the surface of the tube 701. A long bolt 704 is installed in the locking hole. The long bolt 704 passes through one of the adjustment holes 703. A nut 705 is threadedly connected to the surface of the long bolt 704 on the outside of the tube 701. By setting the tube 701 and the telescopic rod 702, the approximate height of the baffle 5 can be pre-adjusted, and the telescopic rod 702 can be positioned by the cooperation of the long bolt 704 and the nut 705.
[0029] The bottom end of the telescopic rod 702 is provided with a slot 706, and the top of the baffle 5 is fixedly connected with an insert plate 501 that matches the slot 706. The surface of the telescopic rod 702 is provided with a threaded hole, and the inner wall of the threaded hole is threaded with a first positioning bolt 707. By setting the slot 706 and the insert plate 501, the height of the channel 6 can be further adjusted to meet the requirements of the workpiece, and the insert plate 501 can be positioned by the first positioning bolt 707. At the same time, it is convenient to replace the baffle 5 so that the width of the baffle 5 matches the width of the conveyor line 1.
[0030] The surface of the telescopic rod 702 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 708 that is intersected with the slot 706. By setting the limiting block 708, the baffle 5 is prevented from shifting when its height is adjusted, thus improving the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0031] A slide rail 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the crossbeam 2. A moving block 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 8. A vertical rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 9. An industrial camera 4 is set on one side of the vertical rod 10. A threaded hole 2 is opened on one side of the vertical rod 10, and a second positioning bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 2. By setting the slide rail 8 and the moving block 9, the position of the vertical rod 10 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the industrial camera 4. The vertical rod 10 is positioned by setting the second positioning bolt 11.
[0032] The surface of the pole 10 is slidably connected to a sliding sleeve 12. The industrial camera 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 12. A threaded hole 3 is opened on one side of the sliding sleeve 12, and a third positioning bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 3. The height of the industrial camera 4 can be adjusted by setting the sliding sleeve 12, and the sliding sleeve 12 is positioned by the third positioning bolt 13.
[0033] The support component 3 includes two U-shaped support frames 301. A guide rail 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the crossbeam 2, and a slider 303 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 302. The inner wall of the support frame 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 303. A groove 201 is formed at the top of the crossbeam 2. A connecting block 304 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the support frame 301. The connecting block 304 extends into the interior of the groove 201. A bidirectional threaded screw 305 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 201. The two connecting blocks 304 are symmetrically arranged on the two helical sections of the bidirectional threaded screw 305, and are connected... Connecting block 304 is threadedly connected to bidirectional threaded screw 305. Motor 306 is fixedly connected to the end of crossbeam 2. The output end of motor 306 is fixedly connected to one end of bidirectional threaded screw 305. Universal wheel 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of support frame 301. The output end of motor 306 drives bidirectional threaded screw 305 to rotate, thereby driving two connecting blocks 304 to move closer or further away from each other, thereby driving two support frames 301 to move closer or further away from each other with the cooperation of universal wheel 307, so as to adapt to the width of conveyor line 1. Universal wheel 307 has its own trolley system.
[0034] Working Principle: When using this image detection and counting device for intelligent manufacturing production, the user first starts the motor 306. The output end of the motor 306 drives the bidirectional threaded screw 305 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded screw 305 drives the two connecting blocks 304 to move closer or further apart. The two connecting blocks 304 drive the two support frames 301 to move closer or further apart with the help of the casters 307, so as to adapt to the width of the conveyor line 1. Then, the device is longitudinally straddled on the conveyor line 1 and placed stably. Then, the telescopic rod 702 is extended out of the tube body 701. The approximate height of the baffle 5 is pre-adjusted, and the telescopic rod 702 is positioned using the long rod bolt 704 and nut 705. After taking out the baffle 5 of appropriate width, the insert plate 501 is inserted into the slot 706. After adjusting the appropriate width of the channel 6, the first positioning bolt 707 is tightened to fix the insert plate 501. Position the upright 10, adjust its position, and then adjust the position of the industrial camera 4. Tighten the second positioning bolt 11 to position the upright 10. Move the sliding sleeve 12 to adjust the height of the industrial camera 4. Tighten the third positioning bolt 13 to position the sliding sleeve 12. Then start the conveyor line 1 and place the workpiece on it. The conveyor line 1 transports the workpiece. The workpiece first passes through the channel 6. The channel 6 forces the workpiece to pass through the detection area in a single layer, eliminating false detection problems caused by stacking and overlapping from a physical perspective and improving the accuracy of counting. The blocked upper layer workpiece falls into the blank area of the conveyor line 1 to form a single layer workpiece, which continues to pass through the channel 6. Then, when the single layer workpiece passes through the industrial camera 4, an image is captured. The external computer system counts based on the captured image, thus enabling the image detection and counting equipment used for intelligent manufacturing production to have a high counting accuracy.
