The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0040] A general visual detection device for anisotropic glass appearance parts of an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] The general visual detection device for anisotropic glass appearance parts provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied in the modern industrial automatic production process of glass products (for example, arc-shaped glass products, anisotropic glass products, etc.), and can comprehensively detect various appearance defects of target glass.
[0042] As shown in Figures 1-2 The general visual detection device for anisotropic glass appearance parts of the embodiment of the present application can include a shell 1 and a detection module 2 arranged in the shell 1, wherein the detection module 2 can include a phase light imaging module 21 and a detection grabbing module 22, wherein the phase light imaging module 21 is arranged above the detection grabbing module 22, and it should be noted that the phase light imaging module 21 is built-in with a positioning camera.
[0043] The detection and grabbing module 22 is used to grab, move or place the target glass. The detection and grabbing module 22 acts according to whether the corresponding face of the target glass is a non-detection face in the initial state, and the non-detection face of the target glass is adsorbed and grabbed. It should be noted that the initial state of the detection and grabbing module 22 is the state when the glass grabbing part of the detection and grabbing module 22 faces the target glass.
[0044] It can be understood that the detection and grabbing module 22 described in this embodiment can suck the target glass and adjust the position of the target glass according to the detection item.
[0045] The phase light imaging module 21 is used to detect defects of the target glass grabbed by the detection and grabbing module 22, and generate multiple image channels in one shooting, and obtain multiple detection information (such as gloss information, reflectivity information, etc.) through multiple image channels at the same time.
[0046] It should be noted that the phase light imaging module 21 described in this embodiment uses the phase change technology of light to image the surface micro-defects, solves the imaging problem of transparent and reflective surfaces, generates multiple image channels in one shooting, and can capture the fine defects that cannot be seen on the transparent / high-reflective surface through the defect resolution capability of hundreds of nanometers.
[0047] The pixel accuracy of the phase light imaging module 21 is 20um / pixel, and different image channels can detect different defects.
[0048] For example:
[0049] ①Gloss channel: capture defects such as color difference and stains.
[0050] ②Global aberration channel: capture defects such as fine scratches and textures.
[0051] ③3D structure channel: capture defects with three-dimensional features.
[0052] It can be understood that the phase light imaging module 21 described in this embodiment can be detected multiple times (for example, 3 times) for large-size target glass.
[0053] In order to clearly illustrate the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2-7 , the detection and grabbing module 22 is used to grab, move or place the target glass. The detection and grabbing module 22 acts according to whether the corresponding face of the target glass is a non-detection face in the initial state, and the non-detection face of the target glass is adsorbed and grabbed. It should be noted that the initial state of the detection and grabbing module 22 is the state when the glass grabbing part of the detection and grabbing module 22 faces the target glass.
[0054] When the corresponding target glass of the detection and grabbing module 22 is the non-detection face of the target glass, the detection and grabbing module 22 grabs the non-detection face of the target glass.
[0055] When the corresponding target glass of the detection and grabbing module 22 is the detection face of the target glass, the target glass is raised to a preset height, and then the non-detection face of the target glass is grabbed.
[0056] It should be noted that the corresponding surface of the target glass (the convex surface of the target glass) described in this embodiment is a non-coated surface (the concave surface is the detection surface), and the non-detection surface of the target glass can be directly adsorbed and grabbed. The corresponding surface of the target glass (the concave surface of the target glass) is a non-coated surface (the convex surface is the detection surface), and the non-detection surface of the target glass can be adsorbed and grabbed after the target glass is lifted to a predetermined height.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 the detection and grabbing module 22 can include a first mechanical arm 221 and a grabbing device 222, wherein the first mechanical arm 221 is arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the grabbing device 222 is arranged at the driving end of the first mechanical arm 221.
[0058] It can be understood that the first mechanical arm 221 described in this embodiment can freely adjust the working position of the grabbing device 222, which facilitates the grabbing of the target glass and also freely adjusts the position of the grabbed target glass.
[0059] The grabbing device 222 can include a telescopic cylinder 2221, a connecting frame 2222, a first swing limiting block 2223, a cylinder connecting block 2224, a connecting rod 2225, a swing rod 2226, and a first vacuum chuck device 2227.
[0060] The fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 2221 is connected to the output end of the first mechanical arm 221, the first swing limiting block 2223 is connected to the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 2221 through the connecting frame 2222, the cylinder connecting block 2224 is arranged at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 2221, the connecting rod 2225 is connected to the cylinder connecting block 2224 through a pin shaft, and the first vacuum chuck device 2227 is connected to the connecting rod 2225 through the swing rod 2226. The swing rod 2226 and the connecting rod are connected through a pin shaft.
[0061] Specifically, when the detection and grabbing module 22 needs to grab and move the target glass, the first mechanical arm 221 moves the grabbing device 222 directly above the target glass, and drives the first vacuum chuck device 2227 to contact the non-detection surface of the target glass, thereby adsorbing and grabbing the target glass.
[0062] When the position of the first vacuum chuck device 2227 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic cylinder 2221 can drive the cylinder connecting block 2224 to move, and the moving cylinder connecting block 2224 drives the swing rod 2226 to move through the connecting rod 2225, thereby adjusting the position of the first vacuum chuck device 2227 through the swing rod 2226.
[0063] It should be noted that the first swing limiting block 2223 improves the adsorption stability of the curved glass product.
[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, it can also include a conveying module 3, wherein the conveying module 3 includes an upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31, a finished product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 32, and a defective product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 33.
[0065] The upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31, the finished product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 32, and the defective product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 33 are respectively arranged on the inner lower wall of the shell 1, and the upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31 is arranged between the finished product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 32 and the defective product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 33. Each of the upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31, the finished product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 32, and the defective product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 33 adopts a multi-segment chain plate line body, and each segment of the chain plate line body is connected by an anti-falling link segment.
[0066] It can be understood that the three chain plate conveying lines described in this embodiment all adopt a multi-segment PE chain plate conveying line body, and each segment has an independent power source, and the driving mode is an asynchronous motor driving a stainless steel chain transmission (a dust-free PE material chain plate is used to carry the product).
[0067] It should be noted that the parts of the three chain plate conveying lines described in this embodiment that contact the target glass, the guide wheels or guide strips on both sides all adopt a PE material, which will not cause three injuries to the product, and by adjusting the guide wheels or guide strips on both sides of the line body, the product conveying can be adapted to different width ranges, thereby improving the stability and applicability of the target glass transmission.
[0068] Further, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, a glass grabbing module 4 and a product lateral positioning assembly 5 are respectively arranged on each segment of the chain plate line body. The glass grabbing module 4 includes a lifting servo linear assembly 41 and a second vacuum chuck device 42. The lifting servo linear assembly 41 is arranged on a segment of the chain plate line body, and the second vacuum chuck device 42 is arranged at the output end of the lifting servo linear assembly 41. The contact part of the chain plate line body with the target glass adopts a PE material.
[0069] The number of segments of the chain plate line body on the upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31, the finished product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 32, and the defective product lower feeding chain plate conveying line 33 is the same, and the number of segments of the upper feeding chain plate conveying line 31 is the same as the number of the third vacuum chuck device 723.
[0070] It should be noted that the lifting servo linear assembly 41 described in this embodiment can drive the second vacuum chuck device 42 to move vertically, and the target glass is lifted vertically by the second vacuum chuck device 42, which facilitates the first vacuum chuck device 2227 to suck the non-detection surface of the target glass.
[0071] Specifically, when the target glass is comprehensively detected, the feeding chain plate conveying line 31 moves a plurality of target glasses (the number of target glasses is the same as the number of chain plate conveying line sections) to a working position (the position is below the detection module 2), the convex surface of the target glass is the non-coated surface, and the first mechanical arm 221 can control the first vacuum suction cup device 2227 to directly adsorb and grasp the non-detection surface of the target glass. This glass grasping mode can be applied to various shapes of special-shaped glass, thereby improving the use range of the application. It should be noted that the phase light imaging module 21 is used for detecting product defects, and in addition, the product on the chain plate conveying line can be visually positioned, so that the feeding chain plate conveying line 31 accurately moves the target glass to the working position.
[0072] The position of the first vacuum suction cup device 2227 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the output end of the telescopic cylinder 2221, so that the first vacuum suction cup device 2227 can suck the target glass or adjust the position of the sucked target glass, thereby facilitating the phase light imaging module 21 to detect the entire target glass side, R angle and concave or convex surface, and improving the detection accuracy.
[0073] After the detection is completed, the target glass is placed on the downstream work station on the discharging belt line, the finished product discharging chain plate conveying line 32 (OK discharging conveying line) places the target glass with qualified quality, and the substandard product discharging chain plate conveying line 33 (NG discharging conveying line) places the target glass with unqualified quality.

[0079] It should be noted that the lower code reader 74 and the upper code reader 73 described in this embodiment can read the product information of the target glass, and then the target glass is placed on the upper feeding chain conveying line 31 through the upper feeding grabbing device 72. It should be noted that the detection surface of different types of target glass is different, and after the code reader reads the product information of the target glass, the product information can be transmitted to the detection grabbing module 2, so that the detection grabbing module 2 obtains the detection surface information of the target glass to be detected.
