Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile glass curvature detection, and in particular to a grid image projection device and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of automotive glass, in order to ensure its optical performance and the tightness between the car body and the automotive glass, the curvature of the glass needs to be tested before leaving the factory. The current mainstream curvature detection methods are probe detection method and laser scanner method. Among them, the probe detection method requires the use of the probe to contact more points on the glass to obtain complete curvature information, and the measurement speed is slow. In addition, if the operator is not skilled, the probe may scratch the glass; the laser scanner method, because different types of glass have different specifications, in addition to different curvatures, there are also different factors such as transmittance and reflectivity. Therefore, using the same detection tooling for testing may result in measurement failure or image distortion, inaccurate results, and other problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a grid image projection device and a detection method, which can not only ensure the detection accuracy but also avoid damaging the glass.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a grid image projection device, including a detection bracket, a grid projection screen and a first industrial camera; the detection bracket has a detection platform, the grid projection screen is swingably arranged on the detection bracket, the grid projection screen can project a grid toward the table top of the detection platform, the first industrial camera is arranged on the detection bracket, and the lens of the first industrial camera is facing the table top of the detection platform.

[0005] A detection method comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step S1, positioning the glass on the table of the detection platform;

[0007] Step S2, the grid projection screen projects a grid onto the glass surface on the detection platform;

[0008] Step S3, the first industrial camera acquires a grid image on the glass surface;

[0009] Step S4: obtaining the glass curvature according to the grid distortion on the obtained grid image.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: different from the prior art, a grid projection screen is used to project a grid onto the glass surface, thereby avoiding image distortion due to the transmittance and reflectivity of the glass, so as to ensure the quality of the grid image on the glass surface obtained by the first industrial camera. Since the projected grid will undergo a certain degree of distortion according to the curvature of the glass surface, the curvature of the glass can be calculated through the grid distortion on the grid image.

[0024] Working principle: A grid projection screen 2 is used to project a grid onto the glass surface to avoid image distortion due to the transmittance and reflectivity of the glass, so as to ensure the quality of the grid image on the glass surface obtained by the first industrial camera 3. Since the projected grid will be distorted to a certain extent according to the curvature of the glass surface, the curvature of the glass can be calculated through the grid distortion on the grid image.

[0025] Among them, taking the glass with a size of 750mm*700mm as an example, it is preferred to use a 100-inch grid projection screen 2 to project a grid with a spacing of 5mm.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, further, the projection surface of the grid projection screen 2 forms an angle A with the table surface of the detection platform 11. Preferably, A is 30°.

[0027] It can be seen from the above description that, without affecting the first industrial camera 3 from acquiring an image, it is ensured that the grid projection screen 2 can project a grid onto the glass surface.

Since the glass is easily deflected during the transmission process of the conveyor belt 53, the third industrial camera 6 can help the second manipulator 54 to position the glass, which helps the second manipulator 54 to accurately and stably transfer the glass to the positioning platform 511.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in another optional embodiment, a third industrial camera 6 is provided on the conveyor belt 53.
