[0123] 2. Operation process

[0124] Startup and initialization: The device is powered on and the system self-checks to ensure that all sensors, drive motors, and modules are functioning properly.

[0125] Environment scanning and path planning: The mobile module is started, and the lidar and sensors scan the environment, generate a map and calculate the best movement path.

[0126] Move to the quality inspection area: The mobile module moves to the target location according to the path planning, and makes real-time adjustments during the process to avoid obstacles.

[0127] Image acquisition: The quality inspection module is activated, the high-resolution camera starts to collect thermal battery packaging images, and the adaptive light source system automatically adjusts the light intensity to adapt to environmental changes.

[0128] Image processing and defect detection: The image data is transmitted to the image processing unit, and CNN is used for defect recognition.

[0129] Result output and storage: The defect detection results are transmitted to the monitoring center through the wireless communication module and stored in the data processing unit for subsequent analysis.

[0130] Maintenance and feedback: The equipment performs self-maintenance regularly, and the feedback data can be used to optimize subsequent operations and improve detection accuracy and efficiency. Specific embodiment 2:

[0132] The working steps of unmanned thermal battery packaging quality inspection equipment based on machine vision are as follows:

[0133] Sp1: System initialization, mobile module 1 starts and performs self-test to confirm that all hardware components are normal;

[0134] Sp2: Activate the intelligent navigation system, scan the environment, and generate a moving path;

[0135] Sp3: Mobile module 1 moves to the quality inspection area according to the navigation path to ensure correct positioning;

[0136] Sp4: The quality inspection module 7 starts working and starts multiple high-resolution cameras for image acquisition;

[0137] Sp5: Adaptive light source system automatically adjusts light intensity according to ambient light to ensure image quality;

[0138] Sp6: Process the collected images through convolutional neural network (CNN) to perform defect detection;

[0139] Sp7: The data processing unit analyzes quality inspection data in real time and optimizes the processing results through edge computing;

[0140] Sp8: Combines defect detection results with the quality assessment module to calculate the comprehensive quality score;

[0141] Sp9: Output quality inspection report and transmit the results to the monitoring system through the wireless communication module.

[0142] The image processing algorithm in the quality inspection module 7 includes the following steps:

[0143] Sp1: image preprocessing, including denoising, contrast enhancement and adaptive threshold segmentation;

[0144] Sp2: Extract features and classify defects through multi-layer convolutional neural network (CNN);

[0145] Sp3: Use the logistic regression model to make the final decision and output the defect probability.

[0146] During the system initialization phase, the mobile module starts a self-test program to check all hardware components, including drive motors, sensors, and communication modules, to ensure that they are working properly. Once completed, the intelligent navigation system is activated, and the lidar and infrared sensors begin to scan the environment, generate real-time maps, and calculate the best movement path based on the location of obstacles. This process ensures that the mobile module can reach the predetermined quality inspection area accurately and efficiently. During the movement, the IMU provides position information to correct any deviations.

[0147] Once the mobile module is positioned in the quality inspection area, the quality inspection module is started, and multiple high-resolution cameras are activated for image acquisition to ensure that complete images are obtained from different angles. At this time, the adaptive light source system automatically adjusts the light intensity according to the changes in ambient light, optimizes the shooting conditions, and ensures image quality.

[0148] Next, the captured images enter the processing stage, using a multi-layer convolutional neural network for feature extraction and defect detection. CNN analyzes the image based on the trained model and identifies potential defect areas. The processed data is transmitted to the data processing unit for real-time analysis, and edge computing technology is used to optimize the processing results and improve processing speed and efficiency.

[0149] Subsequently, the defect detection results are combined with the quality assessment module to calculate the comprehensive quality score. The specific scoring formula may include the weighted average of multiple indicator weights, such as dynamically adjusting the weight coefficient according to the defect type and severity. Finally, the quality inspection report is generated and output, and the results are transmitted to the monitoring system in real time through the wireless communication module to facilitate subsequent data analysis and decision-making.

[0150] The image processing algorithm in the quality inspection module includes several key steps: in image preprocessing, denoising is first performed to eliminate interference, then image enhancement technology is used to improve contrast, and finally an adaptive threshold segmentation method is used to separate the target from the background for subsequent analysis. In the feature extraction stage, a multi-layer convolutional neural network performs deep feature learning on the preprocessed image to effectively classify the defect type. Finally, in the defect judgment stage, a logistic regression model is applied to calculate the defect probability based on the extracted feature vector and output the final detection result. This series of steps constitutes an efficient quality inspection process for the entire equipment, ensuring that the quality of thermal battery packaging meets the standards. Specific embodiment three:

[0152] The hardware working logic of the unmanned thermal battery packaging quality inspection equipment based on machine vision is as follows:

[0153] This device is a freely movable quality inspection device. The quality inspection module 7 at the end thereof includes a camera with built-in machine vision, which can perform quality inspection on the products in the camera shooting area in real time. There are two types of quality inspection databases. One is the traditional design parameters, which have the drawings of standard qualified products as the comparison source data of the camera. The other part will be learned in real time through the various algorithms proposed in the specific embodiment 1 during the continuous working process, and a new online database (this database can be a cloud database or a local database) will be constructed, so that real-time visual detection can be achieved, thereby achieving good automatic error correction capabilities. It should be clear that in terms of the matching relationship between the mounting base plate 2 and the mounting bracket 4 of the whole machine, on the one hand, bolts can be directly used for fastening connection, which has low cost and low modification difficulty. Another form uses a strong magnetic mounting base plate 2, which can directly adsorb the mounting bracket 4 tightly on the surface of the mounting base plate 2, and the mounting base plate 2 is directly mounted on the mobile module 1 by bolts. The mobile module 1 is essentially a crawler chassis, which can also be changed to a wheeled chassis according to actual conditions. The conventional crawler chassis has relatively high passability and safety redundancy in the industrial environment.

[0154] At the same time, the whole machine has two operating modes:

[0155] Method 1: Continuous detection at a fixed position. The whole machine is moved to the corresponding position of the assembly line through the mobile module 1. The connecting cable 803 at the rear of the equipment is inserted into the plug of the corresponding station for uninterrupted power supply. The whole machine is fixed at the station position of the assembly line and connected to the mechanical arm 6 to drive the quality inspection module 7 to realize multi-degree-of-freedom thermal battery product quality inspection.

[0156] Method 2: Random quality inspection of the thermal battery assembly line. The whole machine is at the position of the base station component 8, and the energy storage module 3 is charged by connecting the cable 803 or the telescopic connecting rod 802. The connecting cable 803 and the telescopic connecting rod 802 are both plugs, which are directly plugged into the plug quality inspection in the inner cavity of the base station component 8 to achieve electrical connectivity. On the one hand, charging can be achieved, and on the other hand, information transmission and data backup can be achieved. Directly, the spatial expansion capability of the base station component 8 will be stronger, and the amount of data it can carry or the expanded data space will be more. The data can be stored inside the base station component 8, so that the base station component 8 constitutes a small data server. When multiple groups of equipment are required in intelligent factories and larger factory areas, the base station component 8 can also be expanded into a multi-directional central base station, see Figure 5 .

[0157] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
