However, during the conveying process, materials often deviate or run off track, which leads to reduced production efficiency and even safety hazards. In order to solve this problem, various deviation correction mechanisms have been developed and applied to conveyor systems.

This not only increases the manufacturing cost of the equipment, but also makes daily maintenance and overhaul difficult, affecting the reliability of the equipment.

[0080] Furthermore, the control method of the device is as follows:

[0081] S01, the controller 7 detects the position of the cigarette rod by taking an image through the camera 3, and sends a push signal to the steering gear 5-1 if the cigarette rod is between the left and right center push plates 5-6;

[0082] S02, when the pressure of the pressure sensor 5-7 on the left and right center push plates 5-6 is not 0, and the pressure difference is less than the set threshold, the controller 7 controls the steering gear 5-1 to send a retraction signal;

[0083] S03, the controller 7 detects the angle of the cigarette rod by taking an image through the camera 3. If the angle of the cigarette rod is greater than the set threshold and the cigarette rod is on the deviation correction belt 4-4, the controller 7 controls the drive motor 4-14 to drive the third crank 4-2 to rotate, so that the upper surface height of the deviation correction belt 4-4 is higher than the upper surface height of the conveyor belt 6-2. The controller 7 calculates the rotation time required for the deviation correction motor 4-5 to adjust the cigarette rod according to the angle of the cigarette rod;

[0084] S04, the controller 7 controls the rotation of the deviation correction motor 4-5 according to the rotation time;

[0085] S05, the controller 7 controls the driving motor 4-14 to drive the third crank 4-2 to rotate so that the upper surface height of the deviation correction belt 4-4 is lower than the upper surface height of the conveying belt 6-2.

[0086] The control method is that the camera detects the position and angle of the cigarette strip in real time, and the controller controls the servo to drive the centering push plate to push the cigarette strip to the center based on the data. When the pressure sensor detects that the cigarette strip is centered, the servo stops; if an angle deviation of the cigarette strip is detected, the controller controls the correction mechanism to raise the correction belt, and the correction motor adjusts the belt rotation to correct the angle of the cigarette strip. After completion, the belt drops and the cigarette strip continues to move forward.

[0087] Furthermore, the step S04 also includes: the controller 7 detects the current angle of the cigarette rod by taking an image through the camera 3, and if the current angle of the cigarette rod is greater than a set threshold, jumps to step S03.

[0088] Furthermore, the control method of the device is:

[0095] S05, controlling the rotation speed of the third crank 4-2 to be ω4, and the calculation method of ω4 is as follows:

[0096]

[0097] By calculating parameters such as conveyor belt speed, push plate stroke and correction motor speed, the controller accurately controls the actions of each mechanism. Its working principle is to calculate the movement speed and time of the center push plate and correction mechanism according to the passage time of the cigarette strips on the conveyor belt, ensuring that the posture of the cigarette strips can be corrected in a timely and accurate manner during high-speed transmission, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0098] For whether the smoke strip is centered, refer to Figure 7 The following algorithm is used to determine:

[0099] 1) Using a binocular stereo camera to obtain images of cigarette rods;

[0100] 2) Convert the acquired color image into a grayscale image;

[0101] 3) In the first frame image, a feature point in the target area is selected as the seed point. According to the gray value of the seed point, the growth condition is set, and the pixel points with a gray value close to the seed point are added to the seed area. The average gray value Ga of the target feature area after growth is calculated as a reference for image segmentation. A preliminary circumscribed rectangle is generated according to the growth area to determine the position of the target in the image coordinate system;

[0102] 4) Using the calculated average gray value Ga to perform threshold segmentation on the entire image;

[0103] 5) Perform top hat operation, opening operation and closing operation on the segmented image;

[0104] 6) For the optimized image, extract the contours of each connected area, generate its circumscribed rectangle, calculate the area and aspect ratio of each circumscribed rectangle, and select the circumscribed rectangle with the largest area and the largest aspect ratio as the final target rectangle;

[0105] 7) Use the minimum bounding rectangle algorithm to obtain the center point coordinates, width, height and rotation angle of the target rectangle;

[0106] 8) The center coordinates and rotation angle of the target are transmitted to the controller;

[0107] 9) Update the average gray value Ga calculated for the current frame as a reference for the next frame image processing;

[0108] 10) According to the center position and rotation angle of the target, the offset of the cigarette rod is calculated. The controller adjusts the rotation angle of the servo according to the offset, controls the moving distance of the center baffle, and determines whether the target object is accurately centered through the pressure sensor on the center baffle;

[0109] 12) Repeat steps 1) to 9) to process the images of subsequent frames to achieve continuous detection and correction of the target object.

[0110] The image information of the cigarette strips is obtained by using a binocular stereo camera. In order to extract the target, a region growing algorithm is designed to realize the feature recognition of the attached target. The basic idea of ​​the region growing algorithm is to start from a single pixel point and merge pixels with similar properties to form the same region according to the algorithm growth rule. The specific process is to first select a target point in the image as a seed point, then add the seed region according to the pixel points in the image that are similar to the seed region and meet the growth rule conditions, and finally generate a seed region with similar properties to the seed point.

[0111] The cigarette feature detection process is designed based on the region growing algorithm. First, a feature point in the target area is selected in the first acquired target image, and region growth is performed based on the image features of the point. The average grayscale value of the target feature area is calculated as a reference value for image segmentation and a preliminary bounding rectangle is generated to determine the coordinate position of the target in the image coordinates. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the target, the entire image is feature screened according to the average grayscale value to complete the image segmentation. Optimization processing is performed based on the image features, and top hat operations, open operations, and closed operations are used to improve features such as the contour and connected areas of the processed area. A bounding rectangle is then generated based on the processed features. The area and aspect ratio of all bounding rectangles are screened out to select the rectangle with the largest area and aspect ratio as the target rectangle. Finally, the center coordinate position of the bounding rectangle in the image coordinate system is fed back to the onboard computer for control processing, and the average grayscale value of the target feature area is updated at the same time as the reference value for the next frame of image processing. The overall process of target detection is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0112] In the process, the image is first converted from a color image to a grayscale image, and then region growing and bounding rectangle operations are performed to obtain information such as the average pixel grayscale and the bounding rectangle position. The target position information is obtained by performing operations in the pixel coordinate system, satisfying the following formula:

[0113]

[0114] Where M1, M2, N1, and N2 represent the extreme values ​​of the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the coordinate system, roi.x represents the horizontal coordinate of the upper left corner of the target circumscribed rectangle in the pixel coordinate system, roi.y represents the vertical coordinate, roi.w represents the width of the circumscribed rectangle, roi.h represents the height of the circumscribed rectangle, Cw and Ch represent the set width and height thresholds, g(x,y) represents the pixel value after segmentation, Ga represents the target average pixel grayscale, T1 represents the adaptive adjustment threshold, and f(x,y) represents the grayscale value corresponding to the pixel point (x,y) coordinates.

[0115] In the optimization process, the interference features can be filtered by morphological top-hat operation. After the top-hat operation, the image features are basically horizontal features. The opening operation is used to erode first and then expand. The rectangles with feature width far greater than the height are retained, and the slender horizontal elements in the image features are filtered. Then the image is closed, expanded first and then eroded, and the target area features are filled to make the target area smooth and complete. Finally, the area and aspect ratio of the circumscribed rectangle are screened through the area contour after optimization. The target area P is selected as:

[0116] P = max(rectg i ×ratio i )

[0117] In the formula, rectgi represents the area of ​​the circumscribed rectangle, and ratioi represents the ratio of the width to the height of the circumscribed rectangle.

[0118] Then use the minimum enclosing rectangle method, which will return the left side of the center point of the minimum enclosing rectangle, the rectangle width, height, and rotation angle, to calculate the rotation angle of the cigarette.

[0119] The target area and coordinate position are obtained through visual processing, and the target coordinate information is transmitted to the control system through the communication system, providing a data basis for the next step of posture correction.

[0120] Knowing the rotation angle and center position of the cigarette strip under the coordinate axis, the offset between the cigarette strip and the conveyor belt can be calculated in the same coordinate system. After the offset is calculated, it is fed back to the control system. The control system adjusts the rotation angle of the servo to control the moving distance of the center baffle, and the pressure sensor on the center baffle is used as feedback to determine whether the centering is accurate. Prepare for the next step of attitude correction.

For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
