Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0037] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a hemming control method for a hemming system. The hemming system includes a hemming device 1 and a pressure detection device 2. The hemming device 1 includes a hemming assembly 11, a pressure detection unit 12 corresponding to the hemming assembly 11, and an elastic unit 13 for resetting the hemming assembly 11. The hemming control method includes:

[0038] Step S1: Obtain the rolling detection information of the pressure detection unit 12 during the rolling operation to obtain the first rolling pressure of the rolling assembly 11.

[0039] Step S2: Determine whether the first rolling pressure meets the rolling abnormality conditions based on the first rolling pressure and the first preset rolling pressure.

[0040] Step S3: When the first hemming pressure meets the hemming abnormality condition, control the hemming system to perform an abnormality determination step; the abnormality determination step includes: controlling the hemming device 1 to move so that the hemming assembly 11 applies pressure to the pressure detection device 2, obtaining the target detection information of the target device, and determining the abnormality type of the hemming abnormality based on the target detection information, wherein the target device includes the pressure detection device 2, the abnormality type includes the elasticity abnormality of the elastic unit 13 and other abnormalities, and other abnormalities include the external component abnormality of the component to be hemmed or the fixture abnormality.

[0041] Specifically, the pressure detection unit 12 can detect the real-time rolling pressure of the rolling assembly 11, while the pressure detection device 2 is only used for pressure detection under specific conditions and generally does not need to move with the rolling device 1.

[0042] The hemming assembly 11 may include one or more hemming heads 112 and a mounting base 111. The mounting base 111 is slidably connected to the base 14. The hemming head 112 is mounted on the mounting base 111. During the hemming operation, the hemming head 112 contacts the part to be hemmed. The mounting base 111 slides or floats according to the magnitude of the contact force and is reset by the elastic unit 13. During this process, when the pressure detection unit 12 does not malfunction, the pressure detection unit 12 has detection information at any position of the hemming assembly 11 and obtains a corresponding pressure value.

[0043] It should be noted that the pressure detection unit 12 is only used to detect and obtain rolling detection information during the rolling operation, thereby obtaining the first rolling pressure of the rolling assembly 11. It is generally not used for closed-loop feedback of the movement position of the rolling device 1. For example, during the rolling operation, the preset control information of the robot (described later) is determined according to the rolling requirements. The robot is controlled to drive the rolling device 1 to perform the rolling operation according to the preset control information. During this process, the pressure detection unit 12 generates rolling detection information. However, the robot will not adjust the control information based on this rolling detection information. Thus, the rolling detection information can actually reflect the change of rolling pressure during the rolling operation. That is, in step S1, the rolling detection information obtained by the pressure detection unit 12 at a certain moment all have a corresponding first rolling pressure. Other situations described later, such as the first detection information and the first pressure, are similar to this situation and will not be described in detail later.

[0044] It should be noted that abnormal conditions in the hemming process can be addressed using relevant technologies, which are not intended as limitations, and will be illustrated with examples later.

[0045] Thus, the present invention first obtains the rolling detection information from the pressure detection unit 12 of the rolling device 1 during the rolling operation, and can obtain the first rolling pressure of the rolling assembly 11. By comparing the first rolling pressure with a preset first rolling pressure, it can be determined whether the rolling operation fed back by the first rolling pressure meets the rolling abnormality conditions. When the rolling abnormality conditions are met, it indicates that the first rolling pressure detected by the pressure detection unit 12 does not meet the expectations of the rolling operation. At this time, the cause of the rolling abnormality is found through the abnormality determination step. Specifically, this is achieved by using a pressure detection device outside the rolling device 1. The detection information from device 2 (and the detection information from pressure detection device 2 and pressure detection unit 12, as described below) can be used to determine the type of abnormality in the hemming. This is helpful for quickly identifying the cause based on the determined abnormality type. For example, the abnormality type can be divided into elasticity abnormality and other abnormalities including abnormalities of external components. When the abnormality type is determined to be elasticity abnormality, the hemming device 1 can be directly inspected to check whether the elastic unit 13 is stuck or malfunctioning. When the abnormality type is determined to be other abnormalities, the component to be hemmed or the fixture can be checked first to see if there are any abnormalities, thereby speeding up the processing efficiency of the hemming abnormality.

[0046] In step S2, optionally, the abnormal rolling condition includes: the absolute value of the difference between the first rolling pressure and the first preset rolling pressure is greater than the third threshold.

[0047] That is, when the absolute value of the difference between the first hemming pressure and the first preset hemming pressure is greater than the third threshold, it is initially determined that there is an hemming abnormality in the hemming operation. At this time, an abnormality determination step is required. When the absolute value of the difference between the first hemming pressure and the first preset hemming pressure is less than or equal to the third threshold, it is determined that there is no abnormality in the hemming operation, and the hemming operation can continue.

[0048] In step S3, optionally, controlling the movement of the hemming device 1 to apply pressure to the pressure detection device 2 by the hemming assembly 11 includes: controlling the movement of the hemming device 1 to apply pressure to the pressure detection device 2 according to the control information of the pre-set pressure posture;

[0049] Obtaining target detection information of the target device includes: obtaining first detection information of pressure detection device 2, and obtaining first pressure based on the first detection information;

[0050] The abnormality type of the rolling edge abnormality is determined based on the target detection information, including: determining whether the abnormality type is an elastic abnormality based on the first pressure and the set pressure value, wherein the set pressure value corresponds one-to-one with the pre-set pressure posture.

[0051] Specifically, the anomaly determination steps at this time include:

[0052] According to the control information of the pre-pressurized posture, the hemming device 1 is controlled to move so that the hemming assembly 11 applies pressure to the pressure detection device 2;

[0053] Obtain the first detection information from the pressure detection device 2, and obtain the first pressure based on the first detection information;

[0054] The anomaly type is determined based on the first pressure and the set pressure value. The set pressure value corresponds one-to-one with the pre-pressurized posture (hereinafter referred to as the elastic anomaly judgment sub-step).

[0055] Specifically, the set pressure value and pre-set pressure posture are calibrated beforehand. For example, several calibration arrays (Xn, Yn, Zn, Gn) are obtained beforehand, where Xn, Yn, and Zn can be understood as the theoretical three-dimensional coordinate information of the hemming head 112 of the hemming assembly 11 at the nth test point. In essence, they correspond to the control information of a set of moving devices. Gn represents the pressure applied by the hemming head 112 to the pressure detection device 2 under the theoretical three-dimensional coordinate information, and the detected pressure value of the pressure detection device 2. This detected pressure value is the set pressure value corresponding to the test point.

[0056] The method for determining whether an anomaly is an elastic anomaly is not a limitation; relevant judgment methods can be used.

[0057] In this embodiment, optionally, determining whether the abnormality type is an elastic abnormality based on the first pressure and the set pressure value includes:

[0058] When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value is greater than the first threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be elasticity abnormality.

[0059] Determining whether an anomaly is an elastic anomaly based on the first pressure and the set pressure value may also include:

[0060] When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value is less than or equal to the first threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be other abnormalities.

[0061] It should be understood that this step can involve multiple tests. Specifically, the hemming device 1 is moved according to multiple pre-set pressure posture control information to apply pressure to the pressure detection device 2, and corresponding test steps are performed, that is, tests are conducted according to multiple pre-set test points. For example, up to five tests can be performed. After each test point is completed, the hemming system can indicate the current error value through a display component, etc. The engineer can manually or according to the pre-set options to retest or continue to the next test point. When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value at at least one of the five test points is greater than the first threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be an elastic abnormality. The target pressures at the five test points are different. To speed up the testing process, the next test point can be tested only when the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value at the previous test point is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0062] Thus, by comparing the first pressure detected by the pressure detection device 2 with the set pressure value, it is possible to verify whether there is an abnormality in the elastic unit 13. At this time, the verification is not based on the detection data of the pressure detection unit 12, and the abnormality of the pressure detection unit 12 can be filtered out, ensuring the accuracy of the judgment on the elasticity abnormality of the elastic unit 13.

[0063] Optionally, the target device further includes a pressure detection unit 12, and the acquisition of target detection information of the target device includes: acquiring second detection information of the pressure detection device 2 and third detection information of the pressure detection unit 12, obtaining a second pressure based on the second detection information, and obtaining a third pressure based on the third detection information;

[0064] The abnormality type of the rolling edge abnormality is determined based on the target detection information, including: determining whether the abnormality type is an external component abnormality based on the second pressure and the third pressure.

[0065] Specifically, the anomaly determination steps at this time include:

[0066] When the hemming assembly 11 applies pressure to the pressure detection device 2, the second detection information of the pressure detection device 2 and the third detection information of the pressure detection unit 12 are obtained to obtain the second pressure and the third pressure respectively;

[0067] Determine whether the anomaly type is an external component anomaly based on the second and third pressures (hereinafter referred to as the external component anomaly judgment sub-step).

[0068] It should be understood that if the abnormality of the hemming determined by the first hemming pressure in step S2 is caused by an abnormality of an external component, such as an abnormality of the part to be hemmed or an abnormality of the fixture, then when pressure is applied to the pressure detection device 2, the influence of the part to be hemmed and the fixture is eliminated. If the pressure detection unit 12 has no abnormality, then the second pressure and the third pressure obtained therefrom should conform to the corresponding rules, for example, the two should theoretically be equal.

[0069] In this way, the second and third pressures can be used to verify whether the abnormality type is an external component abnormality, thereby improving the accuracy of the external component abnormality judgment.

[0070] For example, determining whether the anomaly type is an external component anomaly based on the second pressure and the third pressure includes:

[0071] When the absolute value of the difference between the second pressure and the third pressure is less than or equal to the second threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be an external component abnormality.

[0072] When the absolute value of the difference between the second pressure and the third pressure is greater than the second threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be not an external component abnormality.

[0073] Optionally, other anomalies include an anomaly in the pressure detection unit 12. The anomaly determination step further includes: when it is determined that the anomaly type is neither an external component anomaly nor an elasticity anomaly, the anomaly type is determined to be a detection unit anomaly.

[0074] Specifically, when the anomaly determination step includes both the elasticity anomaly judgment sub-step and the external component anomaly judgment sub-step, if the anomaly type is determined to be neither an external component anomaly nor an elasticity anomaly, the anomaly type is determined to be a detection unit anomaly.

[0075] It should be understood here that when the anomaly determination step includes an elastic anomaly judgment sub-step and an external component anomaly judgment sub-step, there is no necessary restriction on the order of these two sub-steps. Specifically, when these two judgment sub-steps are required, at one or more detection points, the second detection information is the same as the first detection information, and the second pressure is the same as the first pressure, which can reduce the total number of pressure applications required to the pressure detection device 2.

[0076] In one implementation, the external component anomaly detection sub-step can be prioritized. Specifically, since elasticity anomalies and detection unit anomalies are generally considered to be relatively unlikely, prioritizing the external component anomaly detection sub-step helps to quickly determine whether it is the most likely anomaly type, reducing computational workload.

[0077] Specifically, the hemming device 1 is moved according to the control information of the pre-pressurized posture so that the hemming assembly 11 applies pressure to the pressure detection device 2;

[0078] The first detection information of the pressure detection device 2 and the third detection information of the pressure detection unit 12 are obtained to obtain the first pressure and the third pressure, respectively;

[0079] When the absolute value of the difference between the third pressure and the first pressure is less than or equal to the second threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be an external component abnormality; otherwise, the abnormality type is determined to be an elastic abnormality based on the first pressure and the set pressure value. When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value is greater than the first threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be an elastic abnormality; otherwise, the abnormality type is determined to be a detection unit abnormality.

[0080] At this point, the overall judgment can be made according to the order of the probability of the abnormal type.

[0081] In another implementation, both the elasticity anomaly detection sub-step and the external component anomaly detection sub-step are performed simultaneously. Taking one detection point as an example, the anomaly determination step specifically includes:

[0082] According to the control information of the pre-pressurized posture, the hemming device 1 is controlled to move so that the hemming assembly 11 applies pressure to the pressure detection device 2;

[0083] The first detection information of the pressure detection device 2 and the third detection information of the pressure detection unit 12 are obtained to obtain the first pressure and the third pressure, respectively;

[0084] When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value is greater than the first threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be elasticity abnormality;

[0085] When the absolute value of the difference between the third pressure and the first pressure is less than or equal to the second threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be an external component abnormality.

[0086] When the absolute value of the difference between the first pressure and the set pressure value is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the absolute value of the difference between the third pressure and the first pressure is greater than the second threshold, the abnormality type is determined to be a detection unit abnormality.

[0087] This method can also determine the type of exception, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0088] Optionally, in the above embodiments, the hemming control method further includes:

[0089] Statistical analysis of cumulative hemming information for hemming operations;

[0090] When the accumulated hemming information meets the preset verification conditions, the hemming system is controlled to perform an anomaly determination step. If the anomaly type is determined to be an external component anomaly, the hemming operation continues; otherwise, the hemming operation is stopped and repairs are carried out according to the anomaly type.

[0091] Specifically, since step S2 relies on the first rolling pressure and the first preset rolling pressure to determine whether a rolling abnormality has occurred, if the pressure detection unit 12, for example, malfunctions, but its first rolling pressure is the same as the first preset rolling pressure, it will not be judged as a rolling abnormality. Therefore, when the accumulated rolling information meets the preset verification conditions, an abnormality determination step is performed. That is, assuming that a rolling abnormality exists, the corresponding abnormality type is judged. When the abnormality type is determined to be an external component abnormality, we consider that this external component abnormality is not valid, the rolling device 1 is not abnormal, that is, there is no elasticity abnormality and no detection unit abnormality, and the rolling operation continues. Otherwise, the rolling operation should be stopped and the abnormality type should be inspected. For example, when the abnormality type is a detection unit abnormality, the pressure detection unit 12 should be inspected, and when the abnormality type is an elasticity abnormality, the elastic unit 13 should be inspected.

[0092] In this way, it is possible to verify the situation where the pressure detection unit 12 is abnormal but manifests as a non-rolling edge abnormality, thus avoiding the situation where the rolling edge abnormality is not detected, and improving the reliability of the rolling edge control method to a certain extent.

[0093] Furthermore, the cumulative scrolling information includes the cumulative number of scrolling attempts and / or the cumulative scrolling duration. When the cumulative scrolling information includes the cumulative number of scrolling attempts, the preset verification condition includes the cumulative number of scrolling attempts reaching a preset number of scrolling attempts; when the cumulative scrolling information includes the cumulative scrolling duration, the preset verification condition includes the cumulative scrolling duration reaching a preset scrolling duration; when the cumulative scrolling information includes both the cumulative number of scrolling attempts and the cumulative scrolling duration, the preset verification condition includes the cumulative number of scrolling attempts reaching a preset number of scrolling attempts and / or the cumulative scrolling duration reaching a preset scrolling duration.

[0094] Further, in an optional embodiment, the cumulative hemming information for the hemming operation includes: resetting the cumulative hemming information to zero and recalculating it each time an abnormality type is determined.

[0095] For example, in step S2, the cumulative rolling information during the rolling operation process is calculated when the absolute value of the difference between the first rolling pressure and the first preset rolling pressure is less than or equal to the third threshold. The cumulative rolling information is recalculated each time a rolling abnormality occurs or the verification condition is met.

[0096] For example, this anomaly detection step is performed whenever the cumulative number of rolls reaches 10,000.

[0097] Optionally, before controlling the hemming system to perform the anomaly determination step, the hemming control method further includes: completing the hemming operation of the current component to be hemmed.

[0098] In other words, regardless of whether there is an edge rolling abnormality in step S2, the edge rolling operation of the current part to be edged is completed, and then the corresponding abnormality determination step is performed. This is to avoid stopping the edge rolling operation and affecting the final edge rolling quality when the edge rolling abnormality is one that will not cause edge rolling quality defects, such as when the detection unit of the pressure detection unit 12 malfunctions.

[0099] Optionally, in the external component anomaly judgment sub-step, when the anomaly type is determined to be an external component anomaly, the engineer needs to check whether the consistency of the component to be rolled is good, whether there are any dimensional changes, or whether there are any foreign objects in the middle of the component to be rolled; check whether the fixture is poorly positioned, causing a change in the relative position of the rolling head 112 relative to the component to be rolled. The engineer also needs to perform a quality inspection on the component to be rolled after the rolling is completed. When the inspection confirms that the rolling quality of the component to be rolled is qualified, the judgment conditions for judging external component anomalies can be adjusted as needed. For example, the third threshold and / or the second threshold can be increased to avoid frequent false alarms of rolling anomalies and / or frequent false alarms of external component anomalies.

[0100] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a hemming control device, which includes a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store a computer program; the processor is used to implement the hemming control method of the above embodiment when the computer program is executed.

The hemming device 1 includes a hemming assembly 11, a pressure detection unit 12, an elastic unit 13, and a base 14. The free end of the robot is connected to the base 14 to adjust the spatial pose of the base 14. The hemming assembly 11 is slidably connected to the base 14. The elastic unit 13 is disposed between the base 14 and the hemming assembly 11 for resetting the hemming assembly 11. The pressure detection unit 12 is disposed between the base 14 and the elastic unit 13 or between the elastic unit 13 and the hemming assembly 11. The hemming control device is communicatively connected to the robot, the pressure detection unit 12, and the pressure detection device 2.

[0102] Optionally, the edging system also includes a display device 3, and the edging control device is communicatively connected to the display device 3.

[0103] The pressure detection unit 12 and the pressure detection device 2 may each include a pressure sensor. The display device 3 can display relevant information such as pressure information as needed, and can also be configured to interact with engineers as needed. This will not be explained further here.

[0104] While the present invention has been disclosed above, its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
