[0008] Technical Solution

[0009] A fully automatic straightening device for formed channel steel, including a control system and an installation base plate. On the upper side of the installation base plate, a straightening installation plate is fixedly arranged. The straightening installation plate is fixedly connected to an installation frame fixed on the installation base plate. Inside the installation frame, an adjustment base plate placed on the straightening installation plate is arranged.

[0010] Further, the side straightening mechanism includes a first motor fixed on the adjustment base plate. On both sides of the first motor, first rotating shafts rotatably connected to the adjustment base plate are arranged. Between the first motor and the first rotating shafts, they are power-connected through a belt drive structure. At the upper end of the first rotating shaft, a bevel gear transmission structure is fixedly connected. On the front side of the straightening middle plate, two fixed plates are fixedly arranged. The upper bevel gear of the bevel gear transmission mechanism is rotatably connected to the fixed plates. The fixed plates are penetrated and threadedly connected with first threaded rods. The first threaded rods penetrate and slide through the upper bevel gear of the bevel gear transmission mechanism. Torque can be transmitted between the first threaded rods and the upper bevel gear of the bevel gear transmission mechanism. The mutually close ends of the first threaded rods are respectively rotatably connected with a left guide plate and a right guide plate.

[0011] Further, the middle straightening mechanism includes a second motor fixed on the upper end of the straightening middle plate. The lower end of the second motor is power-connected to a second threaded rod. The second threaded rod penetrates and is threadedly connected with a moving plate. The moving plate can only slide up and down on the straightening middle plate. On the front side of the moving plate, a second rotating shaft is fixedly connected. On the second rotating shaft, a bearing is arranged. On the bearing, a straightening upper wheel is fixedly installed.

[0012] Further, the vertical adjustment mechanism includes a first upright column and a second upright column fixed on the straightening installation plate. On the first upright column, a first guide sleeve and a second guide sleeve fixedly connected to the straightening middle plate are slidably sleeved. On the second upright column, a third guide sleeve and a fourth guide sleeve fixedly connected to the straightening middle plate are slidably sleeved. At the tops of the first upright column and the second upright column, a top plate is fixedly connected. On the top plate, a third motor located below the installation frame is fixedly arranged. Below the top plate, a fixed plate fixedly arranged on the straightening middle plate is arranged. The lower side of the third motor is power-connected to a third threaded rod that penetrates and is threadedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0013] Further, a fourth motor is fixedly installed on the right surface of the mounting frame, and the output shaft of the fourth motor penetrates through the mounting frame and is threadedly connected to the adjusting bottom plate.

[0014] Further, a first camera is vertically fixed on the top wall of the mounting frame, and a second camera is vertically fixed on the right wall of the mounting frame.

[0015] Further, a first backlight is fixedly arranged at the front end of the orthopedic mounting plate, and a second backlight is fixedly installed on the left wall of the mounting frame.

[0016] A control method for a fully automatic straightening device for formed channel steel includes the following steps:

[0017] The channel steel passes through the front orthopedic plate, the first backlight is turned on, the first camera acquires the image of the channel steel, and by using the contour recognition algorithm, the pixel points of the left and right edges of the channel steel in the moving direction of the channel steel are obtained. The pixel points of the left and right edges are linearly fitted, and the control system determines the center line of the two straight lines of the left and right edges, that is, the left and right side center lines of the channel steel. The control system calculates the distance between the two straight lines of the left and right edges, that is, the image width of the channel steel.

[0018] The second backlight is turned on, the second camera acquires the image of the channel steel, and by using the contour recognition algorithm, the pixel points of the edges of the channel steel in the up and down directions are obtained. The pixel points of the up and down edges are linearly fitted, and the control system determines the center line of the two straight lines of the up and down edges, that is, the up and down center line of the channel steel. The control system calculates the distance between the two straight lines of the up and down edges, that is, the image height of the channel steel.

[0019] The position of the center line of the channel steel is compared with the center lines of the first camera and the second camera to determine the pixel difference. The pixel difference has positive and negative values. The control system converts the image width, the image height, and the pixel difference into the actual width, the actual height, and the actual difference of the channel steel respectively according to the calibration data of the second camera and the first camera.

[0020] The control system compares the obtained actual data with the straightening reference value in real time. According to the actual width of the channel steel, the first motor operates, drives the first rotating shaft to rotate through the transmission structure, and then the first rotating shaft drives the first threaded rod to rotate through the bevel gear transmission mechanism. Since the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to the fixed plate, the left guide plate and the right guide plate move closer to or away from each other, and the spacing is adjusted to ensure that the spacing is adapted to the width of the channel steel. According to the actual difference, the fourth motor starts, and then drives the adjusting bottom plate to move left and right, so that the left guide plate and the right guide plate move left and right synchronously, and the center lines of the left guide plate and the right guide plate are aligned with the left and right center lines of the channel steel.

[0021] When the channel steel enters between the left guide plate and the right guide plate, the fourth motor operates again to drive the left guide plate and the right guide plate to move left and right synchronously, so that the center lines of the left guide plate and the right guide plate are aligned with the center line of the first camera, and at the same time, the center line of the first camera intersects with the left and right center lines of the channel steel.

[0022] Then the second motor is activated to drive the orthopedic upper wheel to move downward according to the actual height of the channel steel to ensure that it is adapted to the height of the channel steel, thereby realizing the upper orthopedic wheel's constraint on the channel steel's height in the up and down directions.

[0023] Then the third motor is activated to drive the left guide plate, the right guide plate and the orthopedic upper wheel to move up and down as a whole, so that the upper and lower center lines of the channel steel are aligned with the center line of the second camera. At this point, the adjustment is completed and the channel steel can be corrected.

[0024] Furthermore, the control system includes an industrial PC, a visual system, and a digital I / O module.

[0025] Furthermore, the visual system is composed of a second camera and a second backlight source and a first camera and a first backlight source, and the second camera and the first camera communicate with the industrial PC through a network; the second camera and the second backlight source are used to monitor the distortion of the channel steel in the up and down directions and obtain the height of the channel steel; the first camera and the first backlight source are used to monitor the distortion of the channel steel in the left and right directions and obtain the width of the channel steel, and the first backlight source and the second backlight source are controlled in a timely manner by the digital I / O module.

[0026] Furthermore, the calibration data of the first camera and the second camera are stored in the database of the industrial PC. When the device is turned on, the calibration data is read into the memory array by the control system for use.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] Through the rapid identification and calculation of errors by two cameras, and the displacement adjustment in four directions by the motor, the left guide plate, right guide plate and orthopedic upper wheel are driven to move precisely, realizing intelligent identification and fully automatic correction of up and down, left and right bidirectional deformation without human intervention, which can improve production efficiency, save the trial process, reduce the waste of raw materials, and ensure the online operation posture of the channel steel and the quality of the final product.
