[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of profile detection, and in particular to a device and method for detecting bending of special-shaped copper materials. Background Art

[0002] Bending inspection of special-shaped copper materials is a critical quality control process, which is specifically designed to ensure that the copper material maintains the required geometric accuracy and structural integrity during processing and manufacturing. This inspection process usually involves high-precision measuring equipment and technology to identify any deviations in the length, width, thickness and curvature of the copper material. The use of automated optical inspection systems can quickly capture images of copper materials and use advanced image processing algorithms to analyze their shapes to ensure that the curvature of the copper material meets the design specifications.

[0050] The present invention also provides a detection method of a special-shaped copper material bending detection device, which is used to detect special-shaped copper materials, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0051] Calibrate in advance, adjust the probe positions of the plurality of distance sensors 306 according to the height of the special-shaped copper material, and calibrate the various distances between the probes of the plurality of distance sensors 306 and the absolute horizontal plane and then set them to zero;

[0052] Data collection: transporting a plurality of special-shaped copper materials along their length direction, and allowing a plurality of distance sensors 306 to detect the distance data from the special-shaped copper materials to form each distance data group;

[0053] The sliding window algorithm is used to intercept the distance data groups of various special-shaped copper materials, and the distance variance on the time axis is calculated by the variance algorithm for the intercepted distance data. The variance algorithm includes X = {x1, x2, ..., x N}, its mean μ is: Variance σ 2 for: Where N is the number of data points, x i is the i-th data point, μ is the mean of the data set, and the distance variance on the time axis is compared with the annotation variance.

[0059] The present invention can continuously transport a single special-shaped copper material, and when transporting through the detection component, the detection component is adjusted according to the volume of the special-shaped copper material, and then the data is zeroed. Then the transportation component continues to transport the special-shaped copper material. During the transportation process, the detection component continuously detects, and uses a sliding window algorithm to intercept the distance data of a single special-shaped copper material using the continuously detected distance signal. After interception, the variance algorithm is used to determine whether there is a bend on the special-shaped copper material. In fact, the standard variance data is about 0.1. After the calculated distance variance is greater than the standard variance, it is determined that a bend exists, otherwise it does not exist. In this way, the curvature of the special-shaped copper material can be detected at a relatively low cost using a relatively cheap sensor such as the distance sensor 306, so as to achieve the desired effect and reduce the cost of detecting the special-shaped copper material.
