DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific preferred embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] In order to improve work efficiency and reduce operation risks, this embodiment proposes a FTU free pole debugging communication device, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes an image acquisition module 1, a direction deflection module 2, a lifting module 3 and a horizontal movement module 4 which are arranged at the end of a support rod 101 and are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The support rod 101 is supported at the bottom of the horizontal movement module 4. A cable clamping mechanism 102 is provided on the image acquisition module 1. A support cover 103 is provided on the outside of the body 1. The top of the support cover 103 is about 2 to 3 cm higher than the image acquisition module 11 to prevent the image acquisition module 1 from touching the bottom surface of the FTU before working. An electromagnet 104 is provided on the top of the support cover 103. The image acquisition module 1, the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4 are all connected to the processor module. The control end of the power switch of the electromagnet 104 is connected to the processor module.

[0052] Through the above structure, the operator only needs to lift the device of this embodiment to the vicinity of the FTU terminal. The processor module controls the actions of the directional deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4 respectively according to the image information collected by the image acquisition module 1, and inserts the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 into the corresponding interface of the FTU terminal, thereby avoiding the need for personnel to perform high-altitude operations. At the same time, the processor module can control the electromagnet 104 to be magnetically connected to the FTU terminal, so that the device can be fixed to the bottom of the FTU terminal by itself during debugging, without the need for the operator to always hold the device, thus saving physical strength.

[0053] In this embodiment, a remote control method is adopted for the device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the processor module includes a data processing module, a communication module and an information terminal. The data processing module exchanges data with the information terminal through the communication module, and the content of the interaction includes data uploading and command receiving. The image acquisition module 1, the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4 are all connected to the data processing module of the processor module. The data processing module obtains the image data collected by the image acquisition module 1 and uploads it to the information terminal through the communication module. The information terminal can issue corresponding adjustment instructions according to the position of the target interface in the image, such as angle adjustment instructions, height adjustment instructions and horizontal adjustment instructions. After the data processing module obtains the adjustment instructions through the communication module, it converts them into different control signals and sends them to the corresponding functional modules in the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4, so as to adjust the position of the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the processor module of this embodiment is also provided with a power supply module, which can supply power to the data processing module, the image acquisition module 1, the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4 to ensure that the device can work normally.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the image acquisition module 1 of this embodiment includes an outer shell 11 and a camera 12 disposed in the outer shell 11 , the camera 12 specifically adopts an Omnivision OV2710 camera, and the cable clamping mechanism 102 includes a clamping claw 13 and a servo 14 disposed in the outer shell 11 .

[0056] In this embodiment, a hole is opened at the top of the outer shell 11 to facilitate the camera 12 to collect images from the bottom of the FTU terminal. The output end of the camera 12 is connected to the data processing module of the processor module, so that the data processing module can upload the image data collected by the camera 12 to the information terminal through the communication module in real time.

[0057] The top of the outer shell 11 of this embodiment is stepped, and the clamp 13 is installed on one side of the step, and a gap for clamping the cable is formed between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11. A cable passing hole is provided at the bottom of the clamp 13, and the cable passing hole is connected to the gap, so that the cable is clamped and fixed after passing through the cable passing hole to reach the gap. The bottom of the clamp 13 is connected to the shaft of the servo 14, so that the clamp 13 opens and closes with the rotation of the shaft of the servo 14 to release or clamp the cable. At the same time, the control end of the servo 14 is connected to the data processing module of the processor module, so that the data processing module can generate the corresponding motor rotation direction according to the opening and closing instructions of the information terminal and send it to the servo 14 to realize the control of the opening and closing of the clamp 13. For example, the servo 14 is controlled to rotate in a clockwise direction so that the gap between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11 is opened, thereby facilitating the passage of the cable through the cable through hole. The servo 14 is controlled to rotate in a clockwise direction so that the gap between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11 is closed, thereby fixing the cable between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11.

[0058] It should be noted that when the cable is clamped between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11, the terminal of the cable (such as the crystal head of the network cable, etc.) needs to be higher than the top of the image acquisition module 1 so that it can be smoothly inserted into the interface at the bottom of the FTU terminal. On this basis, in this embodiment, the end of the clamp 13 and the top of the step of the outer shell 11 are also provided with a cavity for accommodating the root of the cable terminal, thereby ensuring that the cable terminal and the cable can be firmly clamped between the side wall of the clamp 13 and the side wall of the step of the outer shell 11.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the direction deflection module 2 of this embodiment includes a first base 22 and a first motor 21 installed on the first base 22. The first motor 21 adopts an MG966R servo motor. The lifting module 3 is supported below the first base 22. The rotation axis of the first motor 21 is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 11 of the image acquisition module 1. The control end of the first motor 21 is connected to the data processing module of the processor module. The data processing module can generate the corresponding motor rotation direction and number of rotations according to the angle value in the angle adjustment instruction of the information terminal, and send it to the first motor 21, so that the first motor 21 is controlled to rotate and drive the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 on the outer shell 11 of the image acquisition module 1 to adjust the angle.

[0060] like Figure 7As shown, the lifting module 3 of this embodiment includes a second motor 31 installed on a second base 32. The second motor 31 adopts a reduction motor. The second base 32 is connected to the top seat 33 through a cross lifting arm 34. The top seat 33 is supported below the direction deflection module 2. The horizontal movement module 4 is supported below the second base 32. The second motor 31 drives the cross lifting arm 34 to rise and fall through a driving mechanism 35. The control end of the second motor 31 is connected to the data processing module of the processor module. The data processing module can generate the corresponding motor rotation direction and number of rotations according to the height value in the height adjustment instruction of the information terminal and send it to the second motor 31, so that the second motor 31 drives the cross lifting arm 34 to rise and fall when it is controlled to rotate, thereby driving the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 on the image acquisition module 1 to rise and fall.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of cross lifting arms 34 are respectively provided on both sides of the lifting module 3, and the cross lifting arms 34 include two lifting arms that cross each other, and the intersection of the two lifting arms is hinged by a bolt 34a, and the side wall of the second base 32 and the side wall of the top base 33 are both provided with a fixed first pin shaft 36 at one end and a second pin shaft 37 that moves in the slide groove at the other end, and the lower end of one lifting arm in the cross lifting arms 34 is connected to the first pin shaft 36 of the second base 32 through a nut 34b, and the upper end is connected to the top base 3 through a nut 34b. The second lifting arm 34 is connected to the second pin shaft 37 of the second base 32, and the lower end of the other lifting arm in the cross lifting arm 34 is connected to the second pin shaft 37 of the second base 32 through a nut 34b, and the upper end is connected to the first pin shaft 36 of the top seat 33 through a nut 34b. The driving mechanism 35 includes a screw rod 35a, and the second pin shaft 37 of the second base 32 is provided with a slider 35b. The rotating shaft of the second motor 31 is connected to the screw rod 35a, the screw rod 35a passes through the slider 35b and cooperates with the thread of the slider 35b, and the slider 35b contacts the upper surface of the second base 32.

[0062] Through the above structure, when the second motor 31 rotates in one direction (such as clockwise), the slider 35b moves along the screw rod 35a toward the second motor 31, thereby driving the cross-lifting arm 34 to drop in height, thereby lowering the top seat 33. When the second motor 31 rotates in another direction (such as counterclockwise), the slider 35b moves along the screw rod 35a away from the second motor 31, thereby driving the cross-lifting arm 34 to rise in height, thereby raising the top seat 33.

[0063] like Figure 8As shown, the horizontal moving module 4 of this embodiment includes a third base 41, a fourth base 42 and a fifth base 43 which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The third base 41 is supported below the lifting module 3. The fifth base 43 and the support rod 101 are detachably connected. The fourth base 42 and the fifth base 43 are arranged crosswise. The fourth base 42 is provided with a third motor 44 and a first guide rail 45 arranged along the Y direction. The third motor 44 drives the third base 41 to move along the first guide rail 45 through a first driving mechanism 46. The fifth base 43 is provided with a fourth motor 47 and a second guide rail 48 arranged along the X direction. 47 drives the fourth base 42 to move along the second guide rail 48 through the second driving mechanism 49, and the control ends of the third motor 44 and the fourth motor 47 are respectively connected to the data processing module of the processor module. The data processing module can generate the corresponding motor rotation direction and number of rotations according to the X-direction distance value and / or the Y-direction distance value in the horizontal adjustment instruction of the information terminal and send them to the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47, so that the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47 are controlled to rotate and drive the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 on the image acquisition module 1 to move along the horizontal X direction or Y direction.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 46 and the second driving mechanism 49 both use screw rods, the rotating shaft of the third motor 44 is connected to the screw rod of the first driving mechanism 46, the bottom of the third base 41 is provided with a first through hole 41a for the first guide rail 45 to pass through, and a first slider 41b that is threadedly matched with the screw rod of the first driving mechanism 46 is also provided. Similarly, the rotating shaft of the fourth motor 47 is connected to the screw rod of the second driving mechanism 49, the bottom of the fourth base 42 is provided with a second through hole 42a for the second guide rail 48 to pass through, and a second slider 42b that is threadedly matched with the screw rod of the second driving mechanism 49, so that when the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47 moves to one side, When the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47 rotates in one direction (such as clockwise), the first slider 41b and / or the second slider 42b moves along the corresponding screw rod toward the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47, so that the third base 41 and / or the fourth base 42 and all the components above them move along the positive direction of the horizontal plane X-axis and / or the Y-axis. When the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47 rotates in the other direction (such as counterclockwise), the first slider 41b and / or the second slider 42b moves along the corresponding screw rod away from the third motor 44 and / or the fourth motor 47, so that the third base 41 and / or the fourth base 42 and all the components above them move along the opposite direction of the horizontal plane X-axis and / or the Y-axis.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the device, the device body composed of the image acquisition module 1, the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3, and the horizontal movement module 4 and the support rod 101 and the support cover 103 adopt a detachable connection method. Specifically, a first sleeve is provided at the bottom end of the support cover 103, and a second sleeve is provided at the bottom end of the fifth base 143 of the horizontal movement module 4. The end of the support rod 101 is inserted in the second sleeve, and the second sleeve is inserted in the first sleeve, and the end of the support rod 101 and the first sleeve and the second sleeve are all provided with corresponding pin holes, so that after the support rod 101, the body 1 and the support cover 103 are installed, the pin 105 can be inserted into the pin holes of the end of the support rod 101, the first sleeve and the second sleeve in sequence to achieve a stable installation of the device.

[0066] In this embodiment, in order to adapt to FTU terminals of different heights, the support rod 101 adopts a telescopic rod, including an inner rod and an outer rod. The device body and the support cover 103 are installed at the end of the inner rod, and the outer rod is provided with a buckle to lock the inner rod.

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] This embodiment proposes a FTU pole-free debugging communication method, which is applied to the FTU pole-free debugging communication device of the first embodiment. Fig. 9 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0069] S101) Preparation for debugging:

[0070] The operator stands on the ground and touches the upper end surface of the support cover 103 to the lower end surface of the FTU by lifting the support rod 101, then obtains the image information collected by the image acquisition module 1 through the information terminal of the processor module, and moves the entire device forward, backward, left and right for rough adjustment, so that the communication network port on the FTU panel is basically located at the center of the monitoring field of view. Finally, the operator controls the electromagnet 104 on the support cover 103 to be adsorbed to the base of the FTU through the information terminal, and then pulls the outer rod of the support rod 101 down to contact the ground and locks the buckle to complete the rough fixation of the whole set of equipment;

[0071] S102) Target identification:

[0072] The information terminal obtains the image information collected by the image acquisition module 1, uses the image recognition model to identify the target interface and obtains the pixel coordinates (u, v) of the center point of the bounding box of the recognition result, and considers the distance and shape similarity between the predicted bounding box and the real bounding box to calculate the confidence when identifying the target interface, so as to improve the accuracy of the bounding box;

[0073] S103) Deviation calculation:

[0074] The information terminal converts the center point pixel coordinates (u, v) into world coordinate system coordinates (X b, Y b , Z b ), and converting the image coordinate system into the camera coordinate system, and then calculating the angular difference θ between the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 and the target interface;

[0075] The information terminal is based on the world coordinate system coordinates (X b , Y b , Z b ) and the target interface reference center coordinates (X n , Y n , Z n ) calculates the distance difference (X) between the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 and the target interface b -X n |, Y b -Y n |, Z b -Z n |);

[0076] S104) Position adjustment:

[0077] The information terminal controls the direction deflection module 2 to move to eliminate the angle difference θ, and controls the horizontal movement module 4 to move to eliminate the distance difference in the horizontal X direction |X b -X n |Difference in distance from Y direction|Y b -Y n |, control the lifting module 3 to eliminate the distance difference in the vertical Z direction |Z b -Z n |, so that the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 is inserted into the target interface;

[0078] S105) Equipment disengagement:

[0079] After the information terminal sends a request to the FTU terminal and receives a response, the debugging work begins;

[0080] After debugging is completed, the information terminal generates a prompt message, and after waiting for the operator's confirmation, the electromagnet 104 on the support cover 103 is powered off and detached from the base of the FTU. The operator unlocks the outer rod buckle of the support rod 101 and retracts the inner rod, so that the cable on the device is detached from the corresponding interface of the FTU, and the work is completed.

[0081] The relevant steps are described below.

[0082] In step S102 of this embodiment, after the information terminal obtains the image information captured by the image acquisition module 1, it performs standardization processing, including size adjustment, grayscale, and denoising steps. The specific implementation process of these standardization processes is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0083] In step S102 of this embodiment, when an image recognition model is used to identify the target interface and obtain the pixel coordinates (u, v) of the center point of the bounding box of the recognition result, the YOLO target detection algorithm is specifically used to locate and identify the RJ45 network port in the image. By improving the confidence of the bounding box to optimize the loss function, the network port target can be accurately located.

[0084] Before step S102, this embodiment first collects a large number of FTU images and annotates the network port bounding boxes as a training data set for the YOLO algorithm. Then the input FTU image is divided into fixed grids, and multiple bounding boxes are predicted for each grid. The image features are extracted using a convolutional neural network, and the probability and location information of each bounding box containing the network port are predicted based on the extracted features. In each grid, the bounding box with the highest confidence is selected as the final prediction result, and the bounding boxes with an overlap with other bounding boxes higher than the set threshold are eliminated to ensure that the network port target is not detected repeatedly.

[0085] Typically, the confidence of each bounding box It is used to reflect whether this grid contains the network port target and the accuracy of the bounding box. If there is no network port in this grid, the probability P(network port) = 0 and the confidence is 0; otherwise, the confidence is the intersection-over-union ratio (IOU) between the predicted bounding box and the true bounding box (i.e., the ratio of the intersection of the predicted bounding box and the true bounding box to their union). However, IOU only considers the overlapping area of ​​the predicted bounding box and the true bounding box. On this basis, the embodiment simultaneously considers the distance and shape similarity between the two to calculate the confidence, thereby improving the accuracy of the bounding box. The expression is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, ρ is the center point of the predicted bounding box The Euclidean distance between the center point b of the true bounding box, d is the diagonal distance of the minimum enclosing rectangle containing the two bounding boxes, and μ reflects the aspect ratio of the predicted bounding box. The similarity with the aspect ratio η of the real bounding box, P(net port) represents the probability of the existence of a net port in the bounding box, It represents the ratio of the intersection of the predicted bounding box and the true bounding box to their union, that is, the intersection-union ratio.

[0088] In this embodiment, the loss function during image recognition model training includes coordinate error, confidence error and classification error, where:

[0089] The coordinate error is divided into the center point error of the bounding box and the length and width error of the bounding box. The expression is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, λc is the weight used to balance the ratio of coordinate error to other errors, S is the grid size, B is the number of bounding boxes, Indicates whether the jth bounding box in the i-th grid contains the target. If it does, the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. (u i , v i ) is the pixel coordinate of the center point of the real bounding box, w i and h i are the length and width of the ground-truth bounding box, is the pixel coordinate of the center point of the predicted bounding box, and To predict the length and width of the bounding box;

[0092] The confidence error is divided into the confidence error of the bounding box that includes the network port and the confidence error of the bounding box that does not include the network port. Both are confidences after comprehensively considering the overlapping area, distance, and shape similarity, which can make the subsequent coordinate distance calculation more accurate. The expression is as follows:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, λ p is the weight used to balance the ratio of confidence error to other errors, C i is the confidence of the true bounding box, is the confidence of the predicted bounding box;

[0095] The classification error is the probability loss of being judged as a network port target, and the expression is as follows:

[0096]

[0097] in, Indicates whether the i-th grid contains the target. If it does, the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. i (c) is the probability distribution of the true category, is the probability distribution of the predicted category.

[0098] In step S102 of this embodiment, the trained YOLO target detection algorithm can obtain the visualization or data format of the recognition and classification results, so as to obtain the center pixel coordinates (u, v) of the bounding box of the target interface. Correspondingly, in step S103, the center pixel coordinates (u, v) are converted into the world coordinate system coordinates (x b , Y b , Z b ) is calculated as:

[0099]

[0100] Among them, Z cIt is the distance between the intersection of the optical center along the optical axis and the imaging plane. In this embodiment, it is a fixed distance of 2-3 cm between the top of the image acquisition module 1 and the bottom of the FTU in the initial state, so it can be ignored when taking images.

[0101] In step S103 of this embodiment, after converting the image coordinate system into the camera coordinate system, when calculating the angular difference θ between the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 and the target interface, since the network cable jack for debugging the FTU is a rectangular parallelepiped with a length and width of 12.5mm*9mm, and the two diagonal endpoints of the rectangular parallelepiped in the image can be detected by the monocular camera, and due to the positioning effect of the support cover 103, it can be ensured that the bottom plane of the FTU and one surface of the rectangular parallelepiped of the network cable jack are parallel to the imaging plane, the angular difference θ can be calculated by the following steps and formula:

[0102] S201) The image coordinates are converted into normalized coordinates in the camera coordinate system using the camera intrinsic parameter matrix. In this embodiment, the camera position is taken as the origin of the world coordinate system, and the camera is calibrated using the Zhang Zhengyou calibration method to obtain the intrinsic parameter matrix and the extrinsic parameter matrix. The camera intrinsic parameter matrix is ​​usually expressed as:

[0103]

[0104] Among them, f x and f y is the focal length along the width and height of the image, c x and c y is the principal point coordinate of the image, and thus, the expression for converting the image coordinate into the normalized coordinate in the camera coordinate system is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] Wherein, (u, v) represents the image coordinates, (x, y, z) represents the normalized coordinates in the camera coordinate system, and in this embodiment, it is assumed that f x =f y =f, that is, the focal length is equal in both directions;

[0107] S202) Establish a rectangular model of the target interface, assuming that the width of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped is W, the height is H, and one face of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped is parallel to the camera imaging plane, the position of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped in the camera coordinate system can be determined by the detected diagonal endpoints. Specifically, assuming that the center of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped is located at the origin of the camera coordinate system (0,0,0), and one side of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped is parallel to the x-axis of the camera, the rotation of the network cable jack rectangular parallelepiped can be calculated by the detected diagonal endpoints. Assuming that the coordinates of the diagonal endpoints in the image coordinate system are (u1,v1) and (u2,v2), the corresponding normalized coordinates (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2) in the camera coordinate system can be obtained according to the coordinates (u1,v1) and (u2,v2) of the diagonal endpoints of the rectangular parallelepiped model in the image coordinate system in step S201;

[0108] S203) Calculate the angle difference θ according to the normalized coordinates of the diagonal endpoints in the camera coordinate system. Since one face of the network cable jack-like cuboid is parallel to the imaging plane, it can be assumed that z1=z2=0. Then, the angle difference θ is calculated by the following formula:

[0109]

[0110] Among them, x1, y1 and x2, y2 are the normalized coordinate values ​​of the diagonal endpoints on the x-axis and y-axis in the camera coordinate system, and (u1, v1) and (u2, v2) are the coordinate values ​​of the diagonal endpoints in the image coordinate system.

[0111] In step S103 of this embodiment, the coordinates of the center point of the known network port line (X n , Y n , Z n ) is the coordinate of the reference center point, then the world coordinate system coordinate (X b , Y b , Z b ) and the target interface reference center coordinates (X n , Y n , Z n ) Calculate the distance difference (X) between the cable clamped by the cable clamping mechanism 102 and the FTU network port b -X n |, Y b -Y n |, Z b -Z n |). In step S104, the information terminal can b -X n |, Y b -Y n |, Z b -Zn |) calculates the distance to be moved in the horizontal X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the vertical Z-axis direction, and sends corresponding control instructions to the data processing module to control the horizontal movement module 4 and / or the lifting module 3. Further, based on the calculated angular difference θ, the information terminal can calculate the angle to be rotated, and send corresponding control instructions to the data processing module to control the direction deflection module 2. Specifically, the corresponding motors in the direction deflection module 2, the lifting module 3 and the horizontal movement module 4 are controlled to cooperate with the action, so as to realize the automatic adjustment of the crystal head inserted into the RJ45 network port on the FTU base to carry out debugging work.
