Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing of footwear, and particularly relates to a shoe sole glue coating quality detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the shoemaking process, the shoe sole glue coating cannot be guaranteed whether by manual or machine, and when unqualified products occur, they need to be repaired, which not only affects the production efficiency of enterprises, but also affects the reputation of enterprises when such shoes flow into the market.

[0003] Before the shoe sole is bonded with the upper, the shoe sole needs to be glued first. The current gluing operation is mainly manual brushing and non-contact robot spraying. After gluing, the shoe sole gluing area needs to be detected to check whether the outside of the shoe sole gluing area is overflowed with glue and whether the inside of the shoe sole gluing area is broken or lacks glue.

[0004] For shoe sole glue quality detection, the market has a method of manual visual observation to ensure product quality. This method is not only easily affected by the state of the worker, but also harmful to human health due to the toxic gases volatilized from the glue. The existing equipment identifies the broken glue, missing glue and overflowed glue of the shoe sole by taking pictures. However, only cameras and ordinary light sources are arranged on two sides, which cannot detect the glue coating quality in all directions and may cause missed detection. In addition, it is difficult to distinguish the glue coating area from other areas of the shoe sole in the picture taken after the shoe sole is illuminated by the ordinary light source, and the identification is difficult, so it is difficult to efficiently and accurately detect the broken glue, missing glue and overflowed glue of the inside and outside of the shoe sole.

[0094] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0096] Example 1

[0097] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the present invention provides a shoe sole adhesive quality testing device, including: a frame 1, a conveyor belt 4, a camera assembly 3, and a light source assembly 6;

[0098] The conveyor belt 4 is installed on the frame 1. The conveyor belt 4 is made of light-transmitting material. The conveyor belt 4 is used to convey shoe soles. There is a detection position 7 above the conveyor belt 4.

[0099] The camera assembly 3 includes multiple industrial cameras, including at least a first industrial camera 3-1, a second industrial camera 3-2, a third industrial camera 3-3, and a fourth industrial camera 3-4. Each industrial camera is arranged at intervals around the detection position 7 above it, and the lens of the camera assembly 3 is aimed at the detection position 7 below it.

[0100] The first industrial camera 3-1 is used to photograph the left outer side and the right inner side of the shoe sole;

[0101] The second industrial camera 3-2 is used to photograph the rear inner side of the shoe sole;

[0102] The third industrial camera 3-3 is used to photograph the right outer side and the left inner side of the shoe sole;

[0103] The fourth industrial camera, 3-4, is used to photograph the front inner side of the shoe sole;

[0104] The light source assembly 6 includes: a first light source 6-1, a second light source 6-2, and a third light source 6-3;

[0105] The first light source 6-1 is located inside the conveyor belt 4 and below the detection position 7. It is used to emit a white light to the sole of the shoe at the detection position 7.

[0106] The second light source 6-2 is located below the camera assembly 3 and above the detection position 7, and is used to emit illumination light to at least the left outer side and the right outer side of the sole of the shoe at the detection position 7. The second light source 6-2 is blue light.

[0107] The third light source 6-3 is located below the camera assembly 3 and above the detection position 7. It is used to emit detection light to the outer front side, inner front side, outer rear side, inner rear side, outer left side, inner left side, outer right side, and inner right side of the sole of the shoe at the detection position 7. The third light source 6-3 is UV light.

[0108] The light source assembly 6 is tilted downwards, and the emitted light is directed toward the detection position 7, illuminating the sole of the shoe to be detected.

[0109] In actual use, the installation height of camera assembly 3 relative to conveyor belt 4 is 30-40cm, the interval between the first industrial camera 3-1 and the third industrial camera 3-3 is 60cm, the interval between the second industrial camera 3-2 and the fourth industrial camera 3-4 is 60cm, and the tilt angle of camera assembly 3 is 45-60 degrees; the installation height of light source assembly 6 relative to conveyor belt 4 is 13-16cm, and the tilt angle of light source assembly 6 is 5-10 degrees; the first light source 6-1 has an exposure of 2000-10000, the second light source 6-2 has an exposure of 400-1500, and the third light source 6-3 has an exposure of 1200-10000.

[0111] The first light source 6-1 is turned on, and the other light sources are turned off. The camera component 3 takes pictures of the sole to be inspected from all directions, and collects the images of the inner inspection surface on the right side of the sole, the inner inspection surface at the rear of the sole, the inner inspection surface on the left side of the sole, and the inner inspection surface at the front of the sole, so as to extract the glue line along the upper edge of the inner side of the sole and calculate the glue detection area on the inner side.

[0112] The second light source 6-2 on the left side of the sole is turned on, while other light sources are turned off. The camera component 3 takes a picture of the sole to be inspected from the upper left of the sole, and acquires an image of the outer inspection surface on the left side of the sole in order to extract the glue line on the outer left side of the sole and calculate the glue detection area on the outer left side.

[0114] The third light source 6-3 is turned on, and other light sources are turned off. The camera component 3 takes pictures of the sole to be tested from all directions, and tests the glue detection area on the inner side and the glue detection area on the outer side of the sole. If there is a dark area in the glue detection area on the inner side, there is a break in the glue or a lack of glue. If there is a bright area in the glue detection area on the outer side, there is an overflow of glue.

This facilitates the extraction of the detection area and reduces the difficulty of identifying glue breakage, missing glue, and overflow, thereby greatly improving the detection accuracy of the sole glue quality detection equipment.

[0119] In this embodiment, the light source component 6 is connected to the camera component 3 through the central control module, and the camera component 3 controls the flicker of the light source component 6.

[0120] The camera assembly 3 controls the strobe of the light source assembly 6 to facilitate the cooperation of various industrial cameras and light sources to acquire inspection images of the shoe sole.

[0123] The sixth industrial camera 3-6 is located below the fourth industrial camera 3-4 and behind the detection position 7. The sixth industrial camera 3-6 is used to photograph the rear outer side of the shoe sole.

[0124] In this embodiment, the method by which the detection module extracts the detection region from the image acquired by the camera component 3 includes:

[0125] like Figure 6 As shown, the detection images of the inner and outer surfaces of the shoe sole are acquired, specifically including:

[0126] Camera assembly 3 controls the second light source 6-2 below the first industrial camera 3-1 to be lit, while other light sources are darkened, and the first industrial camera 3-1 acquires an image of the outer detection surface on the left side of the shoe sole.

[0127] Camera assembly 3 controls the second light source 6-2 below the third industrial camera 3-3 to be lit, while other light sources are darkened, and the third industrial camera 3-3 acquires an image of the outer inspection surface on the right side of the shoe sole.

[0128] Camera assembly 3 controls the second light source 6-2 below the second industrial camera 3-2 to be lit, while other light sources are darkened, and the fifth industrial camera 3-5 acquires an image of the outer inspection surface of the front end of the shoe sole.

[0129] Camera assembly 3 controls the second light source 6-2 below the fourth industrial camera 3-4 to be lit, while other light sources are darkened, and the sixth industrial camera 3-6 acquires an image of the outer inspection surface of the rear end of the shoe sole.

[0130] Camera assembly 3 controls the first light source 6-1 to be lit, while other light sources are dark. The first industrial camera 3-1, the second industrial camera 3-2, the third industrial camera 3-3, and the fourth industrial camera 3-4 respectively acquire images of the inner detection surface on the right side, the inner detection surface on the rear end, the inner detection surface on the left side, and the inner detection surface on the front end of the shoe sole.

[0131] The images of each detection surface captured by the camera component 3 are identified respectively. In the first image to be detected, the sole of the shoe has a first bright area and a second bright area located in the middle of the first light-blocking area; the sole of the shoe in the second image to be detected only has the second light-blocking area.

[0132] like Figure 7 As shown, the region of interest is extracted from the first image to be detected, and the region of interest is the bright area of ​​the sole of the shoe;

[0133] Extract the region of interest from the second image to be detected. The region of interest is the second occluded area of ​​the sole of the shoe.

[0134] Extract the upper edge of the glue line of the first bright area on the lower side, and use the area formed by shifting the upper edge of the glue line downwards a certain distance as the glue overflow detection area on the outer side of the sole.

[0135] Extract the upper edge of the glue line in the second light-blocking area, and use the area formed by shifting the upper edge of the glue line downwards a certain distance as the detection area for missing or broken glue on the inner side of the sole.

[0136] In this embodiment, the method for detecting missing or overflowing adhesive in the extracted detection area includes:

[0137] Methods for detecting missing or overflowing adhesive in the extracted detection area include:

[0138] like Figure 10 As shown, camera assembly 3 controls the third light source 6-3 to be lit while other light sources are dark. The first industrial camera 3-1, the second industrial camera 3-2, the third industrial camera 3-3, the fourth industrial camera 3-4, the fifth industrial camera 3-5, and the sixth industrial camera 3-6 respectively acquire the shoe sole images corresponding to the detection area.

[0139] The corresponding detection area in the shoe sole image is detected to detect the excess glue, missing glue, or broken glue within the detection area.

[0140] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown in 11 and 12, in this embodiment, the pixels with drastic pixel changes in the first bright area are first extracted to obtain the outer contour of the first bright area.

[0141] Extract pixels with drastic pixel changes in the second shading area to obtain the outer contour of the second shading area;

[0142] Based on the position coordinates of all points on the outer contour, obtain the position coordinate array;

[0143] Filter the position coordinate array to find the smallest column value and obtain its smallest index in the array. If the smallest index is greater than 0, rearrange the position coordinate array to obtain a new position array where the smallest index is the first point in the new array. If the smallest index is 0, rearrange the position coordinate array to obtain a new position array that is consistent with the original array. Determine the sorting rule for the new position array, which can be clockwise or counterclockwise. If the sorting rule is clockwise, the position array needs to be reversed when counterclockwise sorting occurs; if the sorting rule is counterclockwise, the position array also needs to be reversed when clockwise sorting occurs.

[0144] Calculate the minimum bounding rectangle of the outer contour of the first bright area, set the indentation dimension h1 in the long direction and the extension dimension w1 in the wide direction to obtain the transformed new rectangle;

[0145] Calculate the minimum bounding rectangle of the outer contour of the second shading area, set the longitudinal indentation dimension h1, and translate the minimum bounding rectangle by a distance d1 along its minor axis to obtain the transformed new rectangle.

[0146] like Figure 9 As shown, the new rectangle after transformation intersects with the outer contour of the first bright area at four designated points A, B, C, and D. In the coordinate axis, let AB and CD be the column directions and AD and BC be the row directions. Divide the four points into two groups according to their column values. The two points with larger column values, BC, are in the first group, and the two points with smaller column values, AD, are in the second group. In the first group, point B is the point with the smaller row value, and in the second group, point A is the point with the smaller row value. Obtain the position numbers of points A and B in the new position array.

[0147] Record all points in the first bright area from point A to point B to form a curved segment along the sole. Set a fixed distance and shift the curved segment downward by this fixed distance to generate a new equidistant parallel line segment. Connect the curved segment with the new equidistant parallel line segment to form a detection area, which is the glue detection area on the outer side of the sole.

[0148] like Figure 11 , 12 As shown, based on the intersection of the transformed new rectangle and the outer contour of the second shading area at two designated points A and B, the position numbers of points A and B in the new position array are determined according to the position coordinates of points A and B respectively.

[0149] Record all points in the second light-blocking area from point A to point B to form a curved segment along the sole. Set a fixed distance and shift the curved segment downward by this fixed distance to generate a new equidistant parallel line segment. Connect the curved segment with the new equidistant parallel line segment to form a detection area, which is the glue detection area on the inner side of the sole.

[0150] In practical applications, when the detection module receives the image captured by the camera under the illumination of the third light source 6-3, it can automatically detect glue overflow in the outer side of the sole and glue shortage or breakage in the inner side. When a bright area is detected in the outer side detection area, it is determined that the outer side of the sole is glue overflowing, or when a dark area is detected in the inner side detection area, it is determined that the inner side of the sole is glue shortage. At this time, the detection module will generate an NG signal and transmit the NG signal to the central control module.

[0151] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a sensor 9 is also included. The sensor 9 is disposed in front of the detection position 7 and is connected to the central control module. The sensor 9 is used to sense whether the sole of the shoe to be detected has reached the detection position 7.

[0152] When the sensor 9 detects that the sole has reached the detection position 7, the central control module controls the camera component 3 to cooperate with the light source component 6 to collect images of the sole, and transmits the collected images to the detection module for detection of missing glue, broken glue, and overflow glue.

[0153] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a pusher 2 is also included. The pusher 2 is installed on the frame 1 and connected to the central control module. The pusher 2 is used to push the unqualified shoe soles from the conveyor belt 4 to the designated position. The pusher 2 is a lead screw cylinder.

[0154] In practical applications, the pusher 2 can also be an electric push rod.

[0155] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a storage box 8 is also included. The storage box 8 is installed on the opposite side of the pusher 2 and is correspondingly set with the pusher 2, and is used to receive the unqualified shoe soles pushed by the pusher 2.

[0156] In practical application, when the central control module receives an NG signal, it will control the pusher 2 to push the defective shoe sole into the storage box 8, which will facilitate subsequent repairs or operations by the workers.

[0157] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes a button box 16, a display 12, and a warning light 13. The button box 16 is mounted on the frame 1 for quick operation and control of the equipment. The display 12 and the warning light 13 are mounted on the cover plate 11. The display 12 is connected to the industrial control computer 10 and is used to display the test results and operating status in real time. The warning light 13 is connected to the industrial control computer 10 and is used to indicate different test results and equipment operating status.

[0158] In practical applications, the detection results of the detection module of the industrial control computer 10 can be displayed on the display 12 in real time, making it convenient for staff to understand and confirm the detection results.

[0159] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the invention is characterized by further including an electrical cabinet 17, a motor 5, a sealing plate 11 mounted on the frame 1, and a magnetic door 14. The motor 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and is connected to the conveyor belt 4 for transmission. The electrical cabinet 17 is used to integrate and manage and protect various electrical components. The electrical cabinet 17 is connected to the industrial control computer 10, the button box 16, the pusher 2, the light source assembly 6, the camera assembly 3, and the motor 5 respectively.

[0160] The sealing plate 11 and the magnetic door 14 are used to form a semi-enclosed space, which is located above the conveyor belt 4 and on the inner periphery of the light source assembly 6 and the camera assembly 3. The sealing plate 11 and the magnetic door 14 are made of opaque material, and the magnetic door 14 is provided with a door handle buckle 15.

[0161] The opaque material facilitates the cooperation between the camera component 3 and the light source component 6 in image acquisition within the semi-enclosed space.

[0163] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 13, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the camera assembly 3 in this embodiment further includes a first plane mirror 3-7 and a second plane mirror 3-8;

[0164] The first plane mirror 3-7 is positioned below the fourth industrial camera 3-4 and behind the detection position 7, with the mirror facing the detection position 7. It is used to combine with the second industrial camera 3-2 to photograph the rear outer side of the shoe sole.

[0165] The second industrial camera 3-2 can simultaneously capture detection images of the inner rear side 18 and the outer rear side 19 of the shoe sole through the first plane mirror 3-7.

[0166] The second plane mirror 3-8 is positioned below the second industrial camera 3-2 and in front of the detection position 7, with the mirror facing the detection position 7. It is used to combine with the fourth industrial camera 3-4 to photograph the front outer side of the shoe sole.
