[0042] Function and working principle of the automatic detection device for grid defects:
[0043] The automatic detection device for grid defects is mainly composed of a detection mechanism, a camera assembly, a positioning and rotating mechanism, a visual system, a software system, etc. Among them: the detection mechanism is responsible for the detection and movement of the grid, the camera assembly is responsible for taking pictures of defects, and the positioning and rotating mechanism is responsible for the positioning of the grid, switching the detection surface and other functions. Each visual system module is composed of a camera, a lens, a light source and a software system. The visual system can convert the image and other signals obtained during the grid appearance detection process into data that can be recognized and analyzed by the industrial computer, and all data are stored in the database. The software system can analyze and process the data converted by the visual system and stored in the database for image recognition, classification and defect determination. The unqualified data system automatically identifies and statistically analyzes the detection results to provide data support for quality management and auxiliary process analysis. The analysis and processing results are displayed on the interface of the "positioning grid detection system software" for further analysis and processing by the operator. In addition to automatically recording and analyzing appearance inspection data, the software system also supports manual entry of inspection data and participation in statistical analysis.
[0044] The main body of the detection mechanism consists of X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, etc., which are mainly used to drive the camera assembly, that is, 2 smart cameras arranged side by side, with a spacing of 8 grid units, to move as a whole to detect the deformation and splash defects of the rigid convex, spring, strip, and spot welding tongue of the grid. The working angle of the two groups of smart cameras is parallel to the vertical direction. The camera and light source adjustment module is used to adjust the position and posture of the smart camera (2 groups) to facilitate project debugging. The backlight source is used to assist the smart camera (2 groups) to detect the deformation and splash defects of the rigid convex, spring, strip, and spot welding tongue on the inner wall of the grid; because each square inside the grid is deep, the camera well depth cannot be fully viewed at once, and it is necessary to move the vertical direction to take pictures twice until the entire square is fully inspected; according to the requirements of different types of grid inspection, the camera field of view can only clearly shoot one side of the grid, so it is necessary to use an external loading and unloading mechanism, such as a manipulator to turn the grid over, and then continue to inspect the other side. During normal operation, the positioning and rotating mechanism is equipped with a diffuse reflection sensor, which is used to detect whether the grid being inspected is placed on the positioning and rotating mechanism.
[0045] The specific detection process of the automatic detection device B is as follows:
[0046] a. The external loading and unloading mechanism loads a grid onto the positioning and rotating mechanism;
[0047] b The detection mechanism of the automatic detection device B drives the intelligent camera to traverse the positions of all rigid convexities, springs, strips, and spot welding tongues above the grid in an "S"-shaped path in the order of first X direction and then Y direction, and detects and records the deformation and spatter defects of each rigid convexity, spring, strip, and spot welding tongue.
[0048] c After the deformation and spatter defects of the rigid convexity, spring, strip and spot welding tongue on the upper surface of the grid are inspected, the external loading and unloading mechanism needs to flip the upward side of the grid 180° so that it faces downward and place it on the positioning and rotating mechanism.
[0049] Repeat the above step b to perform the test again.
