Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] As shown in the present embodiment, a method for cutting is provided, which comprises: Figures 1 to 3

[0056] The position of the positioning plate relative to the position on the numerical control cutting machine is mapped and calibrated by using the mark point 2 cutting through the reference plate, so as to establish a reference datum under the same coordinate system;

[0057] The mapping and calibration comprises:

[0058] The reference plate is placed on the cutting table of the numerical control cutting machine, and the CCD camera of the numerical control cutting machine automatically scans the cutting through hole with the coordinate system xoy as the reference, and accurately reads the coordinates of the three cutting through holes and the coordinates of the grabbing point V on the cutting table;

[0059] ​The robot 4 picks up the V point on the reference plate and places it on the positioning plate, at which time the positioning plate has a positioning surface with the coordinate system xoy as a reference and the coordinates of the pickup point W on the positioning plate;

[0060] When the printing material 1 is placed on the positioning plate, two adjacent right-angle edges of the printing material 1 coincide with the x-axis and the y-axis of the coordinate system xoy, the robot 4 accurately picks up the printing material 1 according to the coordinates of the V point (the coordinates of the V point are the same as the coordinates of the W point) and places it on the cutting table, and the printing material 1 takes the coordinate system xoy on the cutting table as a reference.

[0061] It should be noted that by establishing an equivalent corresponding relationship between the coordinates of the cutting through hole on the reference plate and the coordinates of the cutting table plane, the printing material 1 on the positioning plate and the printing material 1 on the cutting table are in the same reference coordinate system, so accurate picking and positioning can be achieved under the condition of coordinate determination.

[0062] On the basis of the above embodiment, the numerical control cutting machine corrects the material arrangement diagram and outputs the cutting pattern according to the position deviation and angle deviation calculated from the sampling signal, to obtain an accurate cutting image, thereby performing high-precision cutting.

[0063] In summary of the above embodiments, the reference plate with the marking point 2 cutting head is first used to map and calibrate the position of the positioning plate and the position of the numerical control cutting machine, thereby establishing a reference in the same coordinate system. On this basis, the coordinate system is established with two adjacent right-angle edges of the reference plate as the x-axis and the y-axis. When the reference plate is located on the cutting table of the numerical control cutting machine, the control software can take the coordinate system xoy as a reference, and when the reference plate is transferred to the positioning plate by the ultra-high precision robot 4, the positioning plate can also take the coordinate system xoy as a reference, thereby realizing synchronous mapping and calibration.

[0064] When the positioning plate takes the coordinate system xoy as a reference, two adjacent right-angle edges of the printing material 1 need to coincide with the x-axis and the y-axis of the coordinate system xoy, so as to ensure that the printing material 1 can take the coordinate system as a reference. At the same time, three high-precision cameras are arranged on the positioning plate, which read the position deviation of the marking point 2 on the printing material 1 relative to the sub-coordinate system and the angle deviation of the line connecting the two marking points 2 relative to the line connecting the two sub-coordinate systems; and the position information of the cutting through hole is determined by the CCD camera, that is, when the reference plate is located on the cutting table, the CCD camera can determine the position coordinates of the cutting through hole.

[0065] By high-precision control of the same robot 4, the printing material 1 is grabbed and placed on the cutting table of the numerical control cutting machine, and the printing material 1 can naturally be located in the coordinate system xoy of the cutting table and taken as a reference. On this basis, the numerical control cutting machine corrects the material arrangement diagram according to the position deviation and angle deviation calculated by the sampling signal, and outputs a cutting pattern, automatically completes the cutting, indentation, slotting and other processes, and moves the cutting table after completion.

[0066] It should be noted that the positioning plate of the present application actually determines the reference of the printing material 1. Through high-precision reading calibration of the reference plate by the CCD camera, the coordinate system xoy of the reference plate and the position coordinates of the through-hole and the grabbing point are determined, so as to be mapped and calibrated on the positioning plate. In addition, the through-hole is a hollow circular hole, and the grabbing point W and the grabbing point V on the numerical control cutting machine are obtained by teaching mode of the collaborative robot 4, that is, by means of the CCD camera on the numerical control cutting machine for precise cutting reading calibration.

[0067] And the present application respectively takes a point in the collection window of the camera on the positioning plate as the origin, establishes three sub-coordinate systems x1o1y1, x2o2y2, x3o3y3 in the coordinate system xoy, please refer to Figure 3 The origins of the three sub-coordinate systems are marked as o1(lx1, ly1), o2(lx2, ly2), and o3(lx3, ly3) in the coordinate system xoy; since the marking points 2 of different batches of materials may be different in position in the sub-coordinate systems, the coordinates of the three marking points 2 in the three sub-coordinate systems are marked as P1'(px1, py1), P2'(px2, py2), and P3'(px3, py3); that is, P1', P2', and P3' are the position deviations relative to the three through-holes. Of course, the position deviations of the above coordinates are recorded by high-precision cameras.

[0068] And o1(lx1, ly1), o2(lx2, ly2), and o3(lx3, ly3) can also be obtained by manual measurement or direct reading of the camera, so the origin deviations P1(lx1+px1, ly1+py1), P2(lx2+px2, ly2+py2), and P3(lx3+px3, ly3+py3) of the three marking points 2 relative to the origin of the coordinate system xoy. The values of px1, py1, px2, py2, px3, and py3 can be read by the camera. Thus, the deviation coordinates of the three marking points 2 are determined.

[0069] On this basis, the value of the angle deviation θ can be calculated in the coordinate system xoy, that is, Tanθ=(k2-k1) / (1+k1*k2); wherein, k1 is the slope of the straight line o1o2, and k2 is the slope of the straight line P1P2. The slopes of o1o3 or o2o3 can also be calculated in this way, and the angle to be rotated can be calculated according to different requirements, so as to correct the cutting track and obtain the accurate cutting image.

[0070] In addition, the number of cameras in the application is three, which correspond to three cutting hole positions respectively, the number of long side pixels of the camera is Lpix, the long side object size of the camera window is Amm, and each pixel is (A / Lpix)mm in size. The camera pixel here is 2592*1960 or greater than the parameter, the camera window is 13mm long, and each pixel is 13 / 2592=0.0050mm. The camera window here refers to the window object area that each camera can shoot.

[0071] It should be noted that, due to the different batches of printing materials 1, the positions of the mark points 2 may differ greatly, so there are three position relationships between the camera collection window and the mark points 2 and the cutting hole, which are as follows:

[0072] The first kind is that the mark point 2 and the sub-coordinate system are located in the collection window at the same time, at which time the camera can directly read the position coordinates of the two and the position deviation of the two, so as to complete the detection of the position deviation and the angle deviation of the mark point 2 by relying on the above features;

[0073] The second kind is that, in the initial state, the sub-coordinate system is located in the collection window, while the mark point 2 is not in the collection window, at which time the camera can be moved and the mark point 2 and the sub-coordinate system can be located in the collection window at the same time, the position coordinates and the position deviation can be read, and the detection of the position deviation and the angle deviation can be completed;

[0074] The third kind is that the sub-coordinate system is located in the collection window, the mark point 2 is not in the collection window, and only the mark point 2 is located in the collection window after moving the camera, the deviation coordinates (p'x1, p'y1) of the camera relative to the sub-coordinate system after moving are recorded, and the deviation coordinates (p'x1', p'y1') of the mark point 2 relative to the camera are read by the camera, then the coordinates of the mark point 2 in the sub-coordinate system are P1'(p'x1+p'x1', p'y1+p'y1'), and the coordinates of the mark point 2 in the coordinate system xoy are P1(lx1+p'x1+p'x1', ly1+p'y1+p'y1'), so as to determine the deviation coordinates and the angle deviation of the mark point 2 in the coordinate system xoy.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 2 The method further comprises:

[0076] Place the printed material 1 with the front face upward on the positioning plate, so that the two adjacent right-angle edges of the printed material 1 coincide with the x-axis and y-axis of the coordinate system xoy.

[0077] The printed material 1 is grabbed by the robot 4 and placed on the numerical control cutting machine, the CCD automatically scans the mark point 2, and the software outputs the cutting pattern cutting according to the definition, which will not be described here.

[0078] It should be emphasized that the present application establishes two right-angle coordinate systems by using the reference plate, maps the coordinate system data on the cutting platform 3 to the coordinate system of the positioning plate, and realizes the synchronous movement of the cutting material in the two coordinate planes through the mechanical arm of the robot 4. If there is a deviation, high-precision deviation detection is realized through the camera, and the deviation information is transmitted to the control software of the numerical control cutting machine, so that the position deviation and angle deviation calculated by the sampling signal are corrected and the cutting pattern is output, and an accurate cutting image is obtained, thereby realizing high-precision cutting.

[0079] In addition, the present application also provides a sleeve cutting device for realizing the sleeve cutting method, which comprises a turning device, a numerical control cutting machine and a robot 4. The turning device comprises any one of the positioning plates 6 and a camera 23 slidingly arranged on the positioning plate 6, and further comprises a turning plate 7 rotatably arranged, which can reverse and place the printed material 1 with the front face upward on the positioning plate 6.

[0080] The numerical control cutting machine is any one of the numerical control cutting machines, which comprises a cutting table for placing and cutting the printed material 1 and a CCD camera for scanning and positioning, which will not be described here. The robot 4 is a six-axis mechanical arm, which uses its ultra-high precision control capability to accurately place the printed material 1 on the cutting platform 3 of the numerical control cutting machine.

[0081] The positioning plate 6 is obliquely arranged and provided with a positioning baffle 10 on the side, and the lower side of the positioning plate 6 is provided with a conveying member in contact with the bottom edge of the printed material 1 and driving the printed material 1 to move to the positioning baffle 10. The limiting surface of the positioning baffle 10 is located on the x-axis of the coordinate system xoy, and the conveying surface of the conveying member is located on the y-axis of the coordinate system xoy.

[0082] Specifically, the turning device comprises a rack 5, a positioning plate 6, a turning plate 7, a conveying assembly 9 and a camera assembly. The rack 5 is the main load-bearing component of the device, which has good load-bearing capacity and stability. Adjustable bolt bases can be arranged at the four supporting legs of the lower part of the rack 5 to adjust the height and levelness, which will not be described here, and can be referred to the prior art.

[0083] The positioning plate 6 is obliquely arranged on the rack 5, and the inclination is close to 90°, so that the printed material 1 placed on the inclined surface can have certain stability. TheFigure 4 It can be seen that the positioning plate 6 has a flat upper inclined surface, and the printing material 1 can be stably placed; and the positioning plate 6 is provided with a positioning baffle 10 on the side, when the printing material 1 side is in abutment with the positioning baffle 10, the printing material 1 can have a stable reference datum, specifically, the reference datum here is the coordinate system xoy, and the subsequent reference datum is also the coordinate system xoy, which will not be described here again, and is convenient for subsequent high-precision cutting.

[0084] The turning plate 7 is rotationally arranged on the rack 5 and located opposite to the positioning plate 6, and specific reference can be made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the printing material 1 is turned over and stably placed on the upper inclined surface of the positioning plate 6 by rotation. In other words, since the incoming material can be front-up or back-up, different placement modes are selected according to different cutting modes; that is, if the front cutting mode is selected, the front-up incoming material can be directly placed on the positioning plate 6, and when the back-up material is placed on the turning plate 7, the back-up material is turned over and placed on the positioning plate 6 by the turning plate 7, and the front cutting is realized. Of course, the back cutting mode can also refer to the above process, which will not be described here again.

[0085] Since the mark point 2 is located on the front of the printing material 1, the way of determining the position information of the mark point 2 is different for different cutting modes. When the front cutting is performed, the mark point 2 can be directly scanned by the CCD camera of the numerical control cutting machine, so that the cutting pattern is output according to the control software of the numerical control cutting machine, and the cutting table is moved after cutting. For back cutting, the position information of the mark point 2 is determined by three camera assemblies, each of which includes a camera 23 for determining the position information of the mark point 2 of the printing material 1 and sliding relative to the positioning plate 6. The sliding arrangement of the camera 23 can satisfy the information confirmation of the mark point 2 at different positions, and has a wider application range. The camera 23 synchronizes the position information to the control software of the numerical control cutting machine, and the numerical control cutting machine rotates and moves the cutting pattern according to the position information to obtain an accurate cutting image.

[0086] The conveying assembly 9 is arranged on the rack 5 below the positioning plate 6, which can determine the reference position of the printing material 1, and can drive the printing material 1 to move towards the positioning baffle 10, and stop when reaching the positioning baffle 10, so as to ensure that the printing material 1 is in a relatively stable reference position.

[0087] In summary of the above embodiments, the present application uses the positioning plate 6 and the positioning baffle 10 on the positioning plate 6 to position the printed material 1, and cooperates with the turnover plate 7 to realize automatic turnover of the incoming material, and different cutting-in methods can be selected according to needs.
