Description

[0003] In terms of product life cycle management, the tire sidewall needs to form identification such as cycle code, flow code, DOT code, mark, two-dimensional code, etc. In the past, tire manufacturing enterprises used inlaid separately made inserts on tire molds to form tire sidewall identification, but the inserts were relatively cumbersome to make, and regular replacement was prone to inlay number errors or poor inlay quality, which affected tire quality. In the prior art, two-dimensional laser scanners are also used for processing, but since the laser scanner is two-dimensional scanning and needs to be combined with an external driving mechanism (such as a robot) for three-dimensional control of the laser, it is not only costly, but also due to the two-dimensional scanner which can only scan in a two-dimensional plane, combined with a robot for control, not only is the scanning efficiency low, but also the calculation is complex, resulting in slow overall engraving process, low efficiency and high cost.

[0004] In addition, in terms of appearance beautification, for some high-end cars, ceremonial vehicles and specific types of vehicles, the tire sidewall needs to be decorated differently from other parts of the outer tire surface to add beauty. Among them, the white rubber decoration is commonly known as white sidewall tire. The previous process is to manually polish the covering rubber on the decorative rubber sheet to expose the white sidewall, which is not easy to ensure the fine and smooth surface of the white rubber.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, a tire engraving device based on a three-dimensional galvanometer includes a housing 1, a laser 2 and a three-dimensional galvanometer 3 are arranged in the housing 1, and the laser 2 is connected with the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 in an optical path. Figure 1

[0025] The laser 2 is used to receive a control command of a host computer and initialize, and control a corresponding laser beam to be generated and output to the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 according to the control command.​

[0026] The three-dimensional galvanometer 3 deflects and controls the received laser beam according to the carving file sent by the host computer, so that the laser beam emitted from the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 irradiates the tire surface and carves the tire surface.

[0027] In practice, the laser 2 and the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 are installed in the shell 1 to ensure that the laser emitted by the laser 1 is completely received by the three-dimensional galvanometer 3, and the shell 1 is provided with a light outlet, and the laser beam emitted by the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 is emitted through the light outlet and irradiates the tire surface to carve.

[0028] In order to ensure better working effect, it is also necessary to cooperate with the cooler, and the cooling pipe of the water cooler cools and cools the laser and the laser carving head 5, improves the stability of the working of the laser 2 and the three-dimensional galvanometer 3, and also ensures the safety of the whole equipment operation.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 The application also provides a tire carving system based on a three-dimensional galvanometer, which comprises a host computer and the tire carving device, and the host computer is electrically connected with the laser 2 and the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 through a laser control card.

[0030] The host computer analyzes the tire physical data model obtained in advance, obtains the relative position relationship between the tire positioning mark coordinates and the pattern to be carved, and determines the target tire sidewall carving position based on the relative position relationship.

[0031] Here, corresponding tire physical data models can be established for tires of different sizes and specifications, such as through photographing, scanning or tire images, and then three-dimensional modeling is performed by using existing modeling software to obtain tire physical data models of each size and specification. When carving, the corresponding tire physical data model is selected in advance according to the size and specification of the carved tire, and then analyzed to obtain the initial tire sidewall point cloud.

[0032] It should be noted that in the current embodiment, the region of interest is pre-selected, and the target tire sidewall point cloud required is segmented from the obtained initial tire sidewall point cloud according to the region of interest. The specific segmentation steps are described in the subsequent embodiments, and are not described in detail here.

[0033] The host computer determines the target tire sidewall point cloud based on the initial tire sidewall point cloud obtained in advance, and based on the target tire sidewall point cloud, performs tire character segmentation through flat area filtering processing and Euclidean space clustering algorithm.

[0034] It should be noted that the initial tire sidewall point can be placed in a set carving position for scanning acquisition based on different specification tires, the flat area filtering processing refers to filtering out the point cloud corresponding to the flat area from the target tire sidewall point cloud, only retaining the character point cloud, and the Euclidean space clustering algorithm refers to performing a Euclidean space clustering algorithm based on the retained character point cloud, so that each character point cloud can be completely segmented.

[0035] The host computer determines the carving position of the carved character based on the recognition of the character, and generates a carving file containing the carving position according to the character point cloud coordinates and the rotation angle and offset position of the carving content.

[0036] The calculation of the rotation angle of the carving content needs to determine the angle a of the character first according to the center and radius of the circle, and then obtain the relative angle b of the marked character, and determine the angle b+a of the rotation of the carving content according to the angle a of the character. Wherein, the angle of the rotation of the carving content will be further transmitted to the host computer, so that the host computer can adjust the light output angle of the etching laser emitted by the three-dimensional galvanometer 3 according to the angle of the rotation of the carving content.

[0037] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the specific implementation of the host computer based on the pre-acquired initial tire sidewall point cloud to determine the target tire sidewall point cloud is:

[0038] Determine a first point set of the pre-acquired initial tire sidewall point cloud, and when determining that a target point in the first point set is within the range covered by a preset region of interest, add the target point to a preset second point set;

[0039] Specifically, in the current embodiment, the x, y, and z ranges of the region of interest are set to (Xmin, Xmax), (Ymin, Ymax), and (Zmin, Zmax). Each point in the first point set is traversed, and during the traversal process, it is determined whether the X, Y, and Z values of the traversed point satisfy the following conditions:

[0040] Xmin < X < Xmax;

[0041] Ymin < Y < Ymax;

[0042] Zmin < Z < Zmax;

[0043] If it is determined that the above conditions are met, the traversed point is added to the preset second point set.

[0044] After determining that all target points are added, the target tire sidewall point cloud is determined based on the second point set.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the target tire sidewall point cloud required is segmented from the initial tire sidewall point cloud obtained according to the region of interest, so that the data amount of the point cloud is greatly reduced, the influence of noise is also reduced, and a good data foundation is provided for subsequent tire character positioning and segmentation.

[0046] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the host computer performs tire character segmentation based on the target tire sidewall point cloud by flat area filtering and Euclidean space clustering algorithm, and the specific implementation is as follows:

[0047] Based on the target tire sidewall point cloud, point cloud normal estimation is performed.

[0048] It should be noted that in the current embodiment, the specific implementation steps of point cloud normal estimation and extraction are not limited.

[0049] Based on the normal difference between the normal of the character region and the normal of the flat region, the point cloud corresponding to the flat region is filtered out from the target tire sidewall point cloud to obtain a character point cloud.

[0050] It should be noted that it can be known through practice and analysis that the normal of the character region and the normal of the flat region have a large difference, and in the current embodiment, based on this analysis result, the point cloud corresponding to the flat region is filtered out from the target tire sidewall point cloud based on the normal difference, and the character point cloud is retained.

[0051] In the specific implementation, in the current embodiment, a filtering algorithm based on the normal difference is performed. The specific algorithm flow is as follows:

[0052] First, take any point P in the target tire sidewall point cloud i , select different radius neighbors r1, r2, and calculate the normal n1, n2 of the point P i .

[0053] Then, according to the angle θ between the two normals n1, n2 of the point P i , filtering is performed, that is, whether the point P i belongs to a flat region is identified, and filtering is performed.

[0054] Finally, traverse other points and repeat the above two steps, and after the traversal is completed, the corresponding character point cloud is obtained.

[0055] Finally, set r1=1.5, r2=2, and obtain the filtered point cloud.

[0056] Based on the character point cloud, character component segmentation is performed by Euclidean space clustering algorithm.

[0057] Specifically, the Euclidean space clustering algorithm flow includes:

[0058] First, find a point P in space from the character point cloud i , find the nearest n points to him, judge the distance of the n points to P i . And put the points p1, p2, p3... with a distance less than the threshold r in set Q.

[0059] Then, find a point p1 in set Q and repeat the above steps to find the corresponding p 22 , p 23 , p 24 ...., and put them all into set Q.

[0060] Finally, when set Q can no longer have new points added, the search is complete, and each character point cloud is segmented.

[0064] Search and locate the engraved character around the character region, wherein the character and the engraved character have multiple fixed numbers with fixed lengths;

[0065] Specifically, the fixed numbers include factory number, specification, pattern, and brand. It should be noted that the position of the cycle number shown in the figure is the marking position. These fixed numbers all have fixed lengths.

[0066] According to the total fixed length of each fixed number and the center and radius of the character region, the engraving position of the engraved character is calculated.

[0067] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the determination of the center and radius of the character region is specifically implemented as:

[0068] Based on the target tire sidewall point cloud, z value dimension reduction processing is performed to obtain a dimension-reduced plane point cloud, wherein the plane point cloud has corresponding two-dimensional position information in a pre-established plane rectangular coordinate system;

[0069] Fitting the dimension-reduced plane point cloud obtains a corresponding point cloud curve;

[0070] Based on the two-dimensional position information corresponding to the point cloud curve, the tire radius and the tire center are determined;

[0071] The average z value of the character is used to update the z value of the tire center, and the tire radius and the updated tire center are used as the center and radius of the circle where the character is located.

[0080] Specifically, in the current embodiment, the x, y, and z ranges of the region of interest are set as (Xmin, Xmax), (Ymin, Ymax), and (Zmin, Zmax). Each point in the first point set is traversed, and during the traversal process, it is determined whether the X, Y, and Z values of the traversed point satisfy the following conditions:

[0081] Xmin < X < Xmax;

[0082] Ymin < Y < Ymax;

[0083] Zmin < Z < Zmax;

[0084] If it is judged that each condition is satisfied, the traversal point is added to a preset second point set.

[0085] S12: After determining that all target points are added, a target tire sidewall point cloud is determined based on the second point set.

[0086] In one embodiment, (Xmin, Xmax) = (-100, 100), (Ymin, Ymax) = (100, 500), and (Zmin, Zmax) = (150, 200) can be set according to actual conditions.
