Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motor vehicle disassembly, and more specifically, to an intelligent disassembly platform for waste motor vehicles. Background Art

[0002] A scrapped motor vehicle is a motor vehicle that reaches the national scrapping standard or, although it has not reached the national scrapping standard, has a severely damaged engine or chassis and fails to meet the national motor vehicle operation safety technical conditions or the national motor vehicle pollutant emission standards after inspection, and is called a scrapped motor vehicle;

[0003] Existing technologies usually rely on an image acquisition module to identify and classify motor vehicle parts. In this process, the machine vision system analyzes the images to determine the types of parts, and mechanical grippers are used for sorting. However, during this operation, the components inside the parts are prone to be lost or damaged due to improper grasping force of the mechanical grippers, especially for parts with complex structures or fragile materials;

[0004] After a waste motor vehicle has been stored for a long time, rust often appears on its surface. Existing technologies mainly focus on removing the rust on the surface of the parts. However, rust is also a reusable resource of waste motor vehicles. However, when disassembling waste motor vehicles, a small amount of rust will fall off from the motor vehicle parts, affecting the judgment of the recycling value of the motor vehicle parts. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent disassembly platform for waste motor vehicles to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides an intelligent disassembly platform for waste motor vehicles, including a motor vehicle transportation module, an artificial intelligence acquisition module, a robot disassembly module, an automated storage module, and a user interface module;

[0007] The motor vehicle transportation module is used to transport the motor vehicle through an automated guided vehicle;

[0008] The automated guided vehicle automatically travels according to a preset route, automatically guides and scans the surrounding environment through lidar to construct a three-dimensional map, detects obstacles, identifies ground markings or specific objects through a camera, measures short distances with ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles in front, matches the sensor data with a pre-established map to determine its own position, plans an optimal path based on the current position and the destination, and controls the steering and speed of the AGV according to the instructions provided by the navigation system.

[0009] The artificial intelligence acquisition module includes an image acquisition unit, a weight acquisition unit, a data update unit, and a part judgment unit;

[0010] The image acquisition unit is used to identify motor vehicle parts and their positions through multiple cameras, and output the part position signals to the robot disassembly module;

[0011] The method for identifying motor vehicle parts is as follows:

[0012] After the camera identifies the motor vehicle parts, compare the information of the motor vehicle parts identified by the camera with the part information in the part database. After the similarity is greater than 80%, the parts are determined, where the database is referenced by the part data of the motor vehicle manufacturer;

[0013] First, from the feature vector of the part image to be identified and the reference part image in the part database , the feature vector contains descriptive information such as color, texture, and shape;

[0014] Calculate the distance D between the two feature vectors. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0015] ;

[0016] Convert the feature distance to similarity. The similarity calculation formula is:

[0017] ;

[0018] is the predefined maximum possible distance, set as the sum of the maximum values of each dimension of the feature vector;

[0019] Compare the calculated similarity S with the preset threshold T. The preset threshold T is 80%. The comparison method is as follows:

[0020] If it is determined to be similar parts if S>T, it is determined to be similar parts;

[0021] It is determined to be similar parts;

[0022] The method for identifying the position of the part is as follows:

[0023] Suppose there are two cameras, and their internal and external parameters are known. The internal parameters include the focal length ( , ) and the principal point coordinates ( , ), and the external parameters include the rotation matrix (R) and the translation vector (T);

[0024] For two cameras, if they capture images of the same part, then the projection points of the part on the image planes of the two cameras are respectively ( , ) and ( , ), the three - dimensional coordinates of the part can be calculated through the following steps;

[0025] Calculate the projection matrix: The projection matrix P of each camera can be obtained by calculating the internal parameters and external parameters:

[0026] ;

[0027] where K is the internal parameter matrix, and [R][T] is the external parameter matrix;

[0028] Establish a system of equations: According to the projection matrix, establish the following system of equations to solve for the three - dimensional coordinates:

[0029] ;

[0030] By solving this system of equations, the three - dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the part can be obtained;

[0031] Convert the camera coordinate system to the actual world coordinate system, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0032] ;

[0033] where, ( , , ) is the actual world coordinate, ( , , ) is the coordinate in the camera coordinate system, is the rotation matrix, is the translation vector;

[0034] The weight acquisition unit is used to measure the size of the motor vehicle part through laser ranging technology, and estimate the weight of the part by combining data such as material density;

[0035] After the image acquisition unit acquires the information of the motor vehicle part, the weight acquisition unit weighs the part. If the part weight does not correspond to the part threshold, it means that the internal components of the part are missing, and the part loss signal is output to the robot disassembly module;

[0036] Use a laser rangefinder to accurately measure the key dimensions of the motor vehicle part. The laser rangefinder determines the distance by emitting a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes to reflect back. Calculate the geometric shape of the part based on the measured dimension data. According to the geometric shape and dimension data of the part, use the corresponding geometric formula to calculate the volume of the part. Query the density of the material used for the part from the database, and calculate the weight of the part through the formula;

[0037] Volume calculation formula:

[0038] For regular shapes, the formula for calculating the volume V is as follows:

[0039] ;

[0040] ;

[0041] ;

[0042] Weight estimation formula:

[0043] ;

[0044] W is the weight of the part, V is the volume of the part, and p is the density of the material;

[0045] Example

[0046] Suppose we measure the dimensions of a motor vehicle part using laser ranging technology as follows:

[0047] ;

[0048] ;

[0049] ;

[0050] ;

[0051] Calculate the volume:

[0052]

[0053] Calculate the weight:

[0054]

[0055] Therefore, the weight of the motor vehicle part is estimated to be kilograms;

[0056] The method for comparing the part weight with the part threshold is as follows:

[0057] Weight difference calculation:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, is the weight difference, is the actually measured part weight, is the standard weight threshold preset through the manufacturer's part data;

[0060] If is greater than or equal to a preset error threshold , it is considered that internal components of the part are missing;

[0061]

[0062] Assume the weight of a standard part is kilograms, and the weight difference threshold set by the system is kilograms; if during the weighing process, the actually measured weight is kilograms, then the weight difference is kilograms, which exceeds the threshold , and the system will determine that internal components of the part are missing;

[0063] The data update unit is configured to, when the image acquisition unit fails to acquire part information, collect and compare the weight of the motor vehicle part through the weight acquisition unit, determine the part weight information after the comparison, respectively distinguish the part shape information according to the part weight information, and update the part shape signal at this time to the database in the image acquisition unit after the distinction is completed;

[0064] According to the weight information, the following formula may be used to infer the part shape information: ,

[0065] where f is a function for inferring shape based on weight, and the technical formula of this function is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] where, , , …, regression coefficients, is the error term

[0068] Working principle:

[0069] When a new part weight is measured, we use the above formula to predict its shape characteristics ;

[0070] By solving the equation = to infer the shape characteristics;

[0071] The shape characteristics can then be used to determine the shape of the part;

[0072] If the inference is successful, the part information in the database is updated: number;

[0073] The part judgment unit is configured to judge whether a motor vehicle part is missing according to the image acquisition unit, and output a part missing signal to the robot disassembly module;

[0074] The absence of parts indicates that both the image acquisition unit and the weight acquisition unit have detected part information;

[0075] Working principle: The image acquisition unit obtains image information by photographing relevant parts of a motor vehicle, analyzes and processes the images to determine the presence of parts. The weight acquisition unit measures the weight of relevant parts of the motor vehicle, and the part judgment unit synthesizes the information provided by these two units to determine whether parts are missing;

[0076] If parts are missing, it means that the image acquisition unit has not detected the features of specific parts in the images it has acquired, and at the same time, there is a difference between the weight measured by the weight acquisition unit and the weight that this part should have in the complete state;

[0077] Calculation formula: Assume that the standard weight of a certain part of a complete motor vehicle is W standard, the number of parts that the image acquisition unit can identify is N image, the actual weight measured by the weight acquisition unit is W actual, and the average weight of each part is known as W average;

[0078] Then it is possible to judge whether parts are missing through the following formula: If N image is less than the expected number of parts,

[0079] and , then it is determined that parts are missing.

[0080] The robot disassembly module includes a part grasping unit, a stable signal input unit, and a running trajectory modification unit;

[0081] The part grasping unit is used to classify and disassemble motor vehicle parts through an intelligent gripper according to the shape, color, and size of the parts identified by the artificial intelligence acquisition module;

[0082] Distance calculation: ;

[0085] Grasping force calculation:

[0086]

[0087] where F is the grasping force, m is the part mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity;

[0088] The stable signal input unit is used to stably receive the part position signal, part loss signal, and part absence signal output from the artificial intelligence acquisition module through radio frequency;

[0089] The radio frequency alarm signal generates a radio wave signal containing alarm information through the transmitter in the alarm system. This signal is generated by an oscillator and transmitted through an antenna; the radio wave propagates in the air and penetrates walls and other obstacles; the receiving antenna of the power output module captures the radio wave and transfers it to the internal receiving circuit, and the receiving circuit decodes the received radio wave signal to identify the alarm information;

[0090] The operating trajectory modification unit is used to modify the operating trajectory of the part grasping unit according to the signal of the stable signal input unit, where the operating trajectory includes the grasping position and clamping force of the mechanical gripper;

[0091] Examples of calculation formulas are as follows:

[0092] Assume the initial grasping position is , according to the signal of the stable signal input unit, the fine-tuning calculation formula is as follows:

[0093] , ,

[0094] The adjusted signal is:

[0095] where, , , is the signal input by the stable signal input unit;

[0096] Adjustment of clamping force:

[0097] Assume the part weight changes from to , and the corresponding clamping force changes from to , then the clamping force change value Formula calculation:

[0098] ;

[0099] where:

[0100] K is the proportionality coefficient of clamping force and weight,

[0101] is the part weight after change;

[0102] is the reference weight;

[0103] Example:

[0104] Assume the reference weight , the corresponding reference clamping force , proportionality coefficient ,

[0105] If the weight of the part increases to , then the change value of the clamping force is:

[0106]

[0107] Therefore, the clamping force needs to be increased by to adapt to the increase in the weight of the part.

[0108] The robot disassembly module further includes an air purification unit for treating harmful substances generated during the classification and disassembly process of the part grasping unit by air filtration method;

[0109] The working principle of the air filtration method is to filter and adsorb harmful substances in the air through a filter, so as to achieve the purpose of purifying the air:

[0110] The effect of the air filtration method is estimated by the following formula:

[0111] ;

[0112] Among them, the filtration efficiency represents the ability of the filter to remove harmful substances.

[0113] The automated storage module includes a classification unit, a part storage unit and a loss unit;

[0114] The classification unit is used to classify the parts disassembled by the robot disassembly module, and the classification threshold is calculated based on the combination of the shape and weight of the parts in the artificial intelligence acquisition module

[0115] Analyze the average values of the part shapes and weights in the database of the artificial intelligence acquisition module;

[0116] Comprehensively evaluate the part classification threshold according to the average estimated values of weight and shape, and because the part shape and weight data in the database are updated in real time, the part classification threshold changes in real time according to the changes in the database;

[0117] Classification threshold calculation formula:

[0118] Suppose we have parts, each part has a shape feature and a weight feature ;

[0119] Calculate the average values of shape and weight:

[0120] ;

[0121] ;

[0122] Suppose we use the linear weighted method to calculate the comprehensive score , where and are the weights of shape and weight, both being 0.5:

[0123]

[0124] is the classification threshold;

[0125] The part storage unit is used to store the parts classified by the classification unit, and the same parts are divided into different qualities;

[0126] Set the classification threshold according to the comprehensive score of the classification unit, and the quality differentiation method is as follows: Set the classification threshold, and the quality differentiation method is as follows:

[0127] is excellent;

[0128] is poor;

[0129] Among them, and are the comprehensive scores of the parts;

[0130] The loss unit is used to compare the weight of the same category of parts stored in the part storage unit with the weight detected by the artificial intelligence acquisition module, judge the change in weight during the part disassembly process, speculate the weight of the rust on the part surface, and then output the rust change signal to the user interaction interface module;

[0131] The weight calculation formula is as follows:

[0132] ;

[0133] is the total weight of the same category of parts in the storage unit, is the weight detected by the artificial intelligence acquisition module, and by analyzing the change trend of, speculate the rust situation.

[0134] The automated storage module further includes a logistics transportation unit, and the logistics transportation unit is used to automatically notify the logistics platform for cleaning when the part storage unit is full.

[0135] The user interaction interface module includes a data analysis unit and a recycling value comparison unit;

[0136] The data analysis unit is used to record and analyze the data of part shape change, weight change, and weight change caused by rust on the part surface, and determine the recycling value threshold of motor vehicle parts according to the analyzed data;

[0137] Assume the original value of the part is , then the recycling value threshold V is calculated by the following formula:

[0138]

[0139] a is the shape change coefficient, is the weight change coefficient, is the rust weight change coefficient;

[0140] The recycling value comparison unit is used to compare the recycling value and judge the recycling value threshold of motor vehicle parts according to the data analysis unit;

[0141] The recycling value is of the recycling value threshold, and the classification unit calculates of the classification threshold;

[0142] If , then the recycling value of this part is high;

[0143] If , then the recycling value of this part is low.

[0144] The user interface module also includes a display unit for sorting the recycling values of motor vehicle parts in the descending order in the recycling value comparison unit and remotely outputting them to the staff through radio frequency.

[0145] The image acquisition unit acquires the image features of waste motor vehicle parts, judges the position and signals of motor vehicle parts according to the image features. When the image acquisition unit fails to identify accurately, the weight acquisition unit judges the part type according to the weight of the motor vehicle part and acquires the part shape to update the data of the image acquisition unit;

[0146] When the part threshold collected by the weight acquisition unit does not correspond to the part weight, if the image acquisition unit acquires the information of the motor vehicle part, it means that the internal components of the part are missing;

[0147] When the image acquisition unit cannot distinguish the part by shape and weight, it means that the part is missing;

[0148] The stable signal input unit modifies the running trajectory of the part grasping unit through the part position signal, part loss signal, and part missing signal;

[0149] Compare the weight of the parts in the part storage unit with the weight of the artificial intelligence acquisition module to judge the change in the weight of the parts. The recycling value comparison unit judges the recycling value of the parts, and the threshold value of the recycling value is judged by modifying the data through the robot disassembly module and the weight change data in the loss unit.

The robot disassembly module modifies the disassembly data of the vehicle based on the above data. And when the weight acquisition unit cannot acquire image data by the image acquisition unit, it judges the parts according to the weight of the motor vehicle parts. After determining the part type by the weight at this time, it updates the part shape to the image acquisition unit, which is convenient for the image acquisition unit to identify the parts. At the same time, when the weight acquisition unit acquires the part picture and the weight of the part does not meet the part threshold, it indicates that the internal components of the part are lost. At this time, adjust the grasping force of the robot disassembly module for the part according to the part loss situation.

[0158] An intelligent disassembly platform for waste motor vehicles includes a motor vehicle transportation module 1, an artificial intelligence acquisition module 100, a robot disassembly module 200, an automated storage module 300, and a user interaction interface module 400;

[0159] The motor vehicle transportation module 1 is used to transport the motor vehicle by an automatic guided vehicle;

[0160] The automatic guided vehicle automatically travels according to a preset route, automatically guides and scans the surrounding environment through a lidar to construct a three-dimensional map, detects obstacles, identifies ground markings or specific objects through a camera, and performs short-distance ranging with an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles in front. It matches the sensor data with a pre-established map to determine its own position, plans an optimal path based on the current position and the destination, and controls the steering and speed of the AGV according to the instructions provided by the navigation system.

[0161] The artificial intelligence acquisition module 100 includes an image acquisition unit 110, a weight acquisition unit 120, a data update unit 130, and a part judgment unit 140;

[0162] The image acquisition unit 110 is used to identify motor vehicle parts and the positions where the parts are located through multiple cameras, and output part position signals to the robot disassembly module 200;

[0163] The method for identifying motor vehicle parts is as follows:

[0164] After the camera identifies the motor vehicle parts, it compares the information of the motor vehicle parts identified by the camera with the information of the parts in the parts database. After the similarity is greater than 80%, the parts are determined, where the database is referenced by the parts data of the motor vehicle manufacturer;

[0165] First, from the feature vector of the part image to be identified and the reference part image in the parts database , the feature vector contains descriptive information such as color, texture, and shape;

[0166] Calculate the distance D between the two feature vectors. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0167] ;

[0168] Convert the feature distance to similarity. The similarity calculation formula is:

[0173] The method for identifying the position of the part is as follows:

[0174] Suppose there are two cameras, whose internal and external parameters are known. The internal parameters include the focal length and the principal point coordinates , and the external parameters include the rotation matrix (R) and the translation vector (T);

[0175] For two cameras, if they capture images of the same part, then the projection points of the part on the image planes of the two cameras are respectively and , and the three-dimensional coordinates of the part can be calculated through the following steps;

[0176] Calculate the projection matrix: The projection matrix P of each camera can be calculated from the internal and external parameters:

[0177]

[0178] where K is the internal parameter matrix and [R][T] is the external parameter matrix;

[0179] Establish a system of equations: Based on the projection matrix, establish the following system of equations to solve for the three-dimensional coordinates:

[0185] The weight acquisition unit 120 is used to measure the size of the motor vehicle part through laser ranging technology, and estimate the weight of the part by combining data such as material density;

[0186] After the image acquisition unit 110 acquires the information of the motor vehicle part, the weight acquisition unit 120 weighs the part. If the part weight does not correspond to the part threshold, it means that the internal components of the part are missing, and the part loss signal is output to the robot disassembly module 200;

[0187] Use a laser rangefinder to accurately measure the key dimensions of the motor vehicle part. The laser rangefinder determines the distance by emitting a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes to reflect back. Calculate the geometric shape of the part based on the measured dimension data. According to the geometric shape and dimension data of the part, use the corresponding geometric formula to calculate the volume of the part. Query the density of the material used for the part from the database, and calculate the weight of the part through the formula;

[0203] ;

[0204] Calculate the weight:

[0205] ;

[0206] Therefore, the estimated weight of the motor vehicle part is 234 kg;

[0207] The method for comparing the part weight with the part threshold is as follows:

[0211] If is greater than or equal to a preset error threshold , it is considered that the internal components of the part are missing;

[0212] ;

[0213] Suppose the weight of a standard part is 1.5 kg and the weight difference threshold set by the system is 0.1 kg; if during the weighing process, the actually measured weight is 1.3 kg, then the weight difference is 0.2 kg, which exceeds the threshold , and the system will determine that the internal components of the part are missing;

[0214] The data update unit 130 is used to collect and compare the weights of motor vehicle parts through the weight collection unit 120 when the image collection unit 110 fails to collect part information. After the comparison is completed, the part weight information is judged. According to the part weight information, the part shape information is distinguished respectively. After the distinction is completed, the part shape signal at this time is updated to the database in the image collection unit 110;

[0215] Based on the weight information, the following formula may be used to infer the part shape information: , where f is a function for inferring shape based on weight, and the technical formula of this function is as follows:

[0223] The part judgment unit 140 is used to judge whether a motor vehicle part is missing according to the image collection unit 110, and output the part missing signal to the robot disassembly module 200;

[0224] If a part is missing, it means that both the image collection unit 110 and the weight collection unit 120 have detected part information;

[0225] Working principle: The image collection unit 110 obtains image information by photographing relevant parts of the motor vehicle, analyzes and processes the image to judge whether a part exists, and the weight collection unit 120 measures the weight of relevant parts of the motor vehicle. The part judgment unit 140 comprehensively uses the information provided by these two units to determine whether a part is missing;

[0227] Calculation formula: Assume that the standard weight of a certain part of a complete motor vehicle is W standard, the number of parts that the image acquisition unit 110 can identify is N image, the actual weight measured by the weight acquisition unit 120 is W actual, and the average weight of each part is W average;

[0228] Then it is possible to judge whether a part is missing through the following formula: If N image is less than the expected number of parts, and , then it is determined that the part is missing.
