[0003] In order to avoid or reduce the potential risks of unintentional static electricity to product components as much as possible, controlling the air humidity and air temperature in the corresponding application scenarios is one of the common and effective means. Due to various factors, the tiny particles floating in the air will eventually settle on the surface of an object. During the corresponding production operation, the tiny particles adhere to the surface of a product component due to the water tension, and the ongoing work process affects the corresponding process, electrical characteristics, functional indicators, test data, and other errors of various corresponding indicators, especially in high-precision products, the unqualified rate is particularly prominent.

[0033] Figure 2 The flowchart for generating the surface contour of the product component is shown in the figure. Detailed Implementation
[0034] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for automatically removing contaminants from the surface of product parts includes the following steps:
[0037] S1. Obtain the projected images of each face of the product component and the outline information of each face. The number of faces of the product component can be 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.
[0038] S2. Determine the current surface contamination level of the product component based on the image of the projection surface (e.g., the front projection surface) of a certain surface, and determine whether it meets the index requirements. If it does not meet the index requirements, output the current surface contamination result and proceed to S3. If it meets the index requirements, proceed to S6.
[0039] S3. Based on the current surface contamination results, remove the contamination from the current surface of the product components using high-pressure jet cleaning;
[0040] S4. Obtain the current projection surface image again and determine whether the current surface contamination level of the product component meets the index requirements. If it does not meet the index requirements, output the current surface contamination result again and proceed to S5. If it meets the index requirements, proceed to S6.
[0041] S5. Determine whether the number of times the current surface of the product component has been removed exceeds the set threshold based on the current level of contamination. If yes, then remind the user of stubborn contamination and end the removal of contamination from the surface of the product component. If no, then return to S3.
[0042] S6. Flip the product components;
[0043] S7. Based on the projection image of another surface of the product component that has not been cleaned (such as the rear projection surface), determine the current surface contamination level of the product component and determine whether it meets the index requirements. If it does not meet the index requirements, output the current surface contamination result and proceed to S3. If it meets the index requirements, determine whether all surfaces of the product component have been cleaned. If not, proceed to S6. If yes, proceed to S8.
[0044] S8. Finish removing surface contaminants from product components.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, as detailed below:
[0047] For example, if the product component has 6 faces, 6 projection faces of the product component should be picked up, which are front projection face, back projection face, upper projection face, lower projection face, left projection face and right projection face. This is only an example description. If the product component has 4 faces, only 4 projection faces of the product component should be picked up. The number of projection faces to be picked up is determined according to actual engineering.
[0048] In addition, the contour of a face of the product component can be obtained through a series of software processing and corresponding software algorithms. In the embodiment, the contour generation process of each face of the product component is as follows:
[0049] S11, pre-processing of the projection face image of each face to improve image quality, including gray scale conversion, noise removal and smoothing;
[0050] S12, filter processing to improve the accuracy of subsequent edge detection, using a Gaussian filter or a median filter;
[0051] S13, edge detection operator, which is Sobel operator, Prewitt operator or Canny operator;
[0052] S14, post-processing, further processing and optimization of the detected edge to improve the accuracy and interpretability of the edge detection result;
[0053] S15, threshold processing;
[0054] S16, edge feature extraction;
[0055] S17, obtaining the contour of each face.
[0056] Embodiment 3
[0057] As shown in Figure 1 This embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 2, which is as follows:
[0058] According to the projection face image of the product component, the contamination is judged, and then the current face contamination level is determined according to the contamination degree. The contamination level is divided into light contamination level, medium contamination level and heavy contamination level. For example, the contamination area of 1% to 30% of the projection area is defined as light contamination level, the contamination area of 30% to 60% of the projection area is defined as medium contamination level, and the contamination area of 60% to 100% of the projection area is defined as heavy contamination level. This is only an example description, and the specific contamination level is determined according to actual engineering practice. The contamination judgment process uses existing computer software algorithm technology.
[0059] The thresholds for light, moderate, and heavy contamination levels increase sequentially. For example, the threshold for light contamination can be 3, for moderate contamination it can be 6, and for heavy contamination it can be 9. Other values are also possible; this is just an example. The specific threshold can be determined based on the actual project.
[0060] Example 4
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, 2, or 3, as detailed below:
[0062] When removing surface contamination from product components using high-pressure jet cleaning, first adjust the position of the high-pressure air outlet of the surface contamination removal device based on the current contamination result, and then determine the required air volume, air size, air time, and air intensity of the high-pressure air outlet.
[0063] Furthermore: Select the largest dimension of the current face of the product component as the length of the current face, and record the start position and end position of the high-pressure air outlet relative to the high-pressure air outlet position, and adjust the start position of the high-pressure air outlet.
[0064] Select the largest dimension of the current face of the product component as the length of the current face and the smallest dimension of the current face as the width of the current face, fit it into a regular shape, calculate the area of this face based on the length and width dimensions, and then determine the required air volume, air size, air time and air intensity of the high pressure outlet based on the area of this face.
[0065] When removing surface contamination from product components using high-pressure jet cleaning, for light contamination levels, apply 0.07 MPa / m² of high-pressure jet cleaning solution per square meter. 2 Atmospheric pressure, at a speed of 0.0001 m / s, with a delay of 10 seconds; for moderate contamination, use 0.15 MPa / m² per square meter. 2 Atmospheric pressure, at a speed of 0.0001 m / s, with a delay of 10 seconds; for highly contaminated levels, use 1.0 MPa / m² per square meter. 2 At atmospheric pressure, at a speed of 0.0001 m / s, with a delay of 10 seconds, it would take 1 minute to remove all surfaces of the product component. The specific technical parameters can be determined based on actual engineering practice and are not limited to these technical parameters.
[0066] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
