Description

[0001] This case is a divisional application based on the invention patent with application date 20240919, application number CN202411303603.9, and name “A universal glass edge detection device and a universal glass edge detection method” as the parent case. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of glass detection, and in particular to a universal glass edge detection device and a universal glass edge detection method. Background Art

[0003] The edge inspection of automotive glass is an important process in the production of automotive glass. At present, most automotive glass manufacturers use two main inspection methods, one is manual inspection and the other is machine inspection. The advantage of manual inspection is that the cost is low, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Manual inspection has visual fatigue and randomness, and cannot completely detect all defects or flaws. It is difficult to control product quality, and there are certain safety risks in the inspection operation. The advantage of machine inspection is that the degree of automation is high, and the inspection efficiency and quality can be guaranteed. Glass edge defect detection machine, such as the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218155983U, named a glass accessory position detection device, and the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN116466065A, named a rotary switching glass substrate edge detection device.

[0004] There are two detection methods for existing glass edge defect detection equipment: one is that the glass is clamped and stationary, and the detection module can be moved for detection; the other is to keep the detection module stationary and change the position of the glass to achieve detection. The disadvantage of the first solution is that although the automobile glass is static during the detection process, the detection module needs to move according to the external contour of the product, which is prone to errors. There are high requirements for the clamping accuracy of the glass and the movement accuracy of the detection module. The moving detection module also has the problem of difficulty in focusing. The entire inspection process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and the detection quality cannot be guaranteed. The disadvantage of the second solution is that the automobile glass needs to be placed in a customized mobile carrier or platform first to ensure the motion control accuracy of the glass. At the same time, it also has strict requirements on the size specifications, placement angles, and distance between the edge and the detection module of the glass. It cannot be connected to the glass production line, and online automatic detection cannot be achieved, and the detection efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a device and a detection method for detecting automobile glass defects based on an electronic cam function and a camera, which can perform high-precision and efficient automatic edge focus detection on glasses of different specifications in motion.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A device for detecting automobile glass defects based on an electronic cam function and equipped with a camera, comprising: The frame is provided with a glass conveying module, an electronic cam main shaft and an electronic cam slave shaft, and a shape detection module and a glass edge detection module sequentially arranged along the feeding direction of the glass conveying module, and the electronic cam main shaft is connected to the glass conveying module; The control system is used to receive information sent by the electronic cam main shaft and the shape detection module and generate a cam table. The electronic cam slave shaft adjusts the detection focal length of the glass edge detection module according to the cam table.

[0007] Furthermore, the electronic cam main shaft is a conveying motor with an electronic cam functional module, and the electronic cam slave shaft is an adjusting motor with an electronic cam functional module.

[0008] Furthermore, the glass conveying module conveys the glass along a plane, the viewing angle and illumination direction of the shape detection module are perpendicular to the plane, and the viewing angle and illumination direction of the glass edge detection module are parallel to the plane.

[0009] Furthermore, the glass edge detection module includes an edge detection camera assembly, a fixed beam splitter and a movable beam splitter. The edge detection camera assembly and the fixed beam splitter are arranged on a frame, and the movable beam splitter is movably arranged on the frame. The electronic cam is connected to the movable beam splitter from the shaft. The fixed beam splitter and the movable beam splitter are used to adjust the viewing angle and lighting direction of the edge detection camera assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, a servo screw module is provided on the frame, and the electronic cam slave shaft is connected to the movable spectroscope through the servo screw module.

[0011] Furthermore, a group of electronic cam slave shafts are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame perpendicular to the feeding direction of the glass conveying module, and a group of glass edge detection modules are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame perpendicular to the feeding direction of the glass conveying module.

[0012] Furthermore, a feeding induction sensor is provided on the frame and is arranged toward the glass conveying module, and the control system is connected to the feeding induction sensor.

[0013] The present invention also provides a detection method for a device based on an electronic cam function and equipped with a camera to detect defects in automobile glass. The electronic cam main shaft controls the glass conveying speed, performs surface detection on the glass being conveyed to obtain glass edge coordinate information, generates a cam table based on the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information, and the electronic cam slave shaft adjusts the glass edge detection focal length based on the cam table.

[0014] Furthermore, an electronic cam main shaft is used to control the glass conveying module to convey the glass at the glass conveying speed, and a shape detection module is used to detect and obtain glass edge coordinate information relative to the glass conveying module. The electronic cam slave shaft adjusts the detection coordinates of the glass edge detection module relative to the glass conveying module according to a cam table generated according to the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information, so that the glass edge detection module automatically focuses on the edge of the glass being conveyed.

[0015] Furthermore, a cam coupling interval is preset. When the glass enters the cam coupling interval, the electronic cam main shaft, the glass conveying module, the shape and surface detection module, the electronic cam slave shaft and the glass edge detection module are coupled. When the glass leaves the cam coupling interval, the electronic cam main shaft, the glass conveying module, the shape and surface detection module, the electronic cam slave shaft and the glass edge detection module are decoupled.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: providing a universal glass edge detection device and a universal glass edge detection method, which can realize one machine compatible with a variety of automotive glasses of different sizes and shapes, changing the shortcomings of fixed detection of previous products, being flexible, convenient and highly compatible. It can realize fully automated operation and intelligent operation. After the equipment is started, the glass is conveyed at a preset speed under the control of the electronic cam main shaft. The glass is first subjected to a surface detection to obtain the edge shape of the glass, thereby determining the position coordinates of the edge of the glass to be inspected during the conveying process, and then a control cam table is generated in combination with the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information. The cam table is used as the basis for adjusting the focal length of the glass edge detection, and can realize automatic focusing and rapid follow-up detection of the glass edge under the control of the electronic cam slave shaft. The shape detection module can send data to the control system according to the shape of the glass, and control the feeding speed of the glass conveying module in combination with the electronic cam spindle to generate electronic cam data. After the electronic cam receives the information sent by the control system from the shaft, it adjusts the detection focal length of the glass edge detection module according to the cam table, thereby realizing the automatic focus of the edge camera, realizing online automatic detection of the glass edge, greatly improving the detection efficiency, and improving the overall production efficiency. In addition, it can save the labor cost of glass detection operations, reduce quality risks, and easily realize the self-learning function in the camera's software control system, which can autonomously learn various defects.

[0018] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The invention provides a universal glass edge detection device and a universal glass edge detection method, which are used in the edge defect detection operation of automobile glass.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a universal glass edge detection device comprises: The frame 1 is provided with a glass conveying module 2, an electronic cam main shaft 3 and an electronic cam slave shaft 4, and a shape detection module 5 and a glass edge detection module 6 which are sequentially arranged along the feeding direction of the glass conveying module 2, and the electronic cam main shaft 3 is connected to the glass conveying module 2; The control system 7 is used to receive information sent by the electronic cam main shaft 3 and the shape detection module 5 and generate a cam table. The electronic cam slave shaft 4 adjusts the detection focal length of the glass edge detection module 6 according to the cam table.

[0021] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the shape detection module 5 can send data to the control system 7 according to the shape of the glass, and control the feeding speed of the glass conveying module 2 in combination with the electronic cam main shaft 3 to generate electronic cam data. After the electronic cam slave shaft 4 receives the information sent by the control system 7, it adjusts the detection focal length of the glass edge detection module 6 according to the cam table, thereby realizing automatic focusing of the edge camera and realizing online automatic detection of the glass edge, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and improves the overall production efficiency.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the electronic cam main shaft 3 is a conveying motor with an electronic cam function module, and the electronic cam slave shaft 4 is a regulating motor with an electronic cam function module.

[0023] From the above description, it can be known that the electronic cam function of the conveying motor is used to set the servo as the main axis, and the regulating motor equipped with the glass edge detection module 6 is set as the slave axis, and the main axis and the slave axis are coupled and linked to each other so that the glass edge detection module 6 can automatically focus. The regulating motor with the electronic cam function obtains the motion trajectory of the glass edge detection module 6 according to the electronic cam data generated by the automobile glass shape detection module 5 in the control system 7, and controls the glass edge detection module 6 to automatically focus on the glass edge when the regulating motor receives the coupling start command.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the glass conveying module 2 conveys glass along a plane, the viewing angle and illumination direction of the shape detection module 5 are perpendicular to the plane, and the viewing angle and illumination direction of the glass edge detection module 6 are parallel to the plane.

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the detection area of ​​the shape detection module 5 is perpendicular to the plane where the glass is conveyed, so that the coordinate information of the glass edge can be obtained completely and accurately. The viewing angle and lighting direction of the glass edge detection module 6 are toward the glass above the conveying plane, so as to fully detect the edge of the glass.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the glass edge detection module 6 includes an edge detection camera assembly 61, a fixed beam splitter 62 and a movable beam splitter 63. The edge detection camera assembly 61 and the fixed beam splitter 62 are arranged on the frame 1, and the movable beam splitter 63 is movably arranged on the frame 1. The electronic cam is connected to the movable beam splitter 63 from the shaft 4. The fixed beam splitter 62 and the movable beam splitter 63 are used to adjust the viewing angle and lighting direction of the edge detection camera assembly 61.

[0027] From the above description, it can be seen that the viewing angle and illumination of the edge detection camera assembly 61 are refracted through the fixed beam splitter 62 and the movable beam splitter 63 in turn, so as to be aligned with the edge of the glass. The electronic cam is used to control the movable beam splitter 63 to move on the frame 1 from the axis 4, thereby changing the length of the detection light path from the edge detection camera assembly 61 to the edge of the glass, and then adjusting the focal length of the edge detection camera assembly 61, thereby avoiding the shortcomings of blurred images, poor quality, and high camera misjudgment rate caused by camera movement.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a servo screw module 8 is provided on the frame 1 , and the electronic cam slave shaft 4 is connected to the movable beam splitter 63 through the servo screw module 8 .

[0029] From the above description, it can be known that the movable beam splitter 63 is slidably arranged on the servo screw module 8 , and the servo screw module 8 adjusts the position of the movable beam splitter 63 under the control of the electronic cam, thereby realizing smooth focusing of the glass edge detection module 6 .

[0030] In an optional embodiment, a group of electronic cam slave shafts 4 are arranged on both sides of the frame 1 along the feeding direction perpendicular to the glass conveying module 2, and a group of glass edge detection modules 6 are arranged on both sides of the frame 1 along the feeding direction perpendicular to the glass conveying module 2.

[0031] From the above description, it can be known that the electronic cam slave shafts 4 on both sides are used to control a group of glass edge detection modules 6 respectively, and the two groups of glass edge detection modules 6 perform edge detection on two opposite sides of the glass at the same time, with high detection efficiency.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, a feeding induction sensor 9 is provided on the frame 1 and is arranged toward the glass conveying module 2 , and the control system 7 is connected to the feeding induction sensor 9 .

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that by presetting the edge detection interval on the glass conveying module 2, the feeding sensing sensor 9 is used to monitor whether there is glass passing through. When the glass passes through the feeding sensing sensor 9, it is determined to start detecting the glass. After the glass flows out of the cam coupling interval, each component is decoupled and reset, waiting for the next piece of glass to be inspected.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a universal glass edge detection method of the present invention is used, in which the electronic cam main shaft 3 controls the glass conveying speed, performs shape detection on the glass being conveyed to obtain the glass edge coordinate information, generates a cam table according to the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information, and the electronic cam slave shaft 4 adjusts the glass edge detection focal length according to the cam table.

[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: providing a universal glass edge detection device and a universal glass edge detection method, which can realize that one machine is compatible with a variety of automotive glasses of different sizes and shapes, changing the shortcomings of fixed detection of previous products, being flexible and convenient, and having extremely high compatibility. It can realize fully automated operation and intelligent operation. After the equipment is started, the glass is conveyed at a preset speed under the control of the electronic cam main shaft 3. The glass is first subjected to a surface detection to obtain the edge shape of the glass, thereby determining the position coordinates of the edge of the glass to be inspected during the conveying process, and then a control cam table is generated in combination with the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information. The cam table is used as the basis for adjusting the focal length of the glass edge detection, and can realize automatic focusing and rapid follow-up detection of the glass edge under the control of the electronic cam slave shaft 4.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the electronic cam main shaft 3 is used to control the glass conveying module 2 to convey the glass at the glass conveying speed, and the shape detection module 5 is used to detect and obtain the glass edge coordinate information relative to the glass conveying module 2. The electronic cam slave shaft 4 adjusts the detection coordinates of the glass edge detection module 6 relative to the glass conveying module 2 according to the cam table generated according to the glass conveying speed and the glass edge coordinate information, so that the glass edge detection module 6 automatically focuses on the edge of the glass being conveyed.

[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that the glass conveying speed of the glass conveying module 2 is controlled according to the size, shape and specifications of the glass. For example, for glass with curved edges, it is necessary to reduce the glass conveying speed to ensure detection accuracy, and obtain the glass edge coordinate information to determine the change in distance between the glass edge and the glass edge detection module 6 during the conveying process. According to the cam table generated by the two, the glass edge detection module 6 is controlled to automatically focus on the edge of the glass to ensure detection accuracy.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, a cam coupling interval is preset. When the glass enters the cam coupling interval, the electronic cam main shaft 3, the glass conveying module 2, the shape and surface detection module 5, the electronic cam slave shaft 4 and the glass edge detection module 6 are coupled. When the glass leaves the cam coupling interval, the electronic cam main shaft 3, the glass conveying module 2, the shape and surface detection module 5, the electronic cam slave shaft 4 and the glass edge detection module 6 are decoupled.

[0039] From the above description, it can be seen that the cam coupling interval is the edge detection interval. When the glass is transported on the assembly line and enters the edge detection interval, it is determined to start detecting the glass. After the glass flows out of the cam coupling interval, each component is decoupled and reset, waiting for the next piece of glass to be inspected.

The inspection host is used to receive information sent by the electronic cam main shaft 3 and the surface inspection module 5 and generate a cam table. The controller controls the electronic cam slave shaft 4 to adjust the inspection focal length of the glass edge inspection module 6 according to the cam table.

The glass conveying module 2 conveys glass along a plane, the viewing angle and illumination direction of the shape detection module 5 are perpendicular to the plane, and the viewing angle and illumination direction of the glass edge detection module 6 are parallel to the plane.

The camera is perpendicular to the glass conveying module 2, and the scanning area of ​​the camera is perpendicular to the glass, ensuring that both the upper and lower surfaces of the glass can be detected. The irradiation angle of the light source is projected through the angle adjustment mechanism, so that the upper and lower array cameras can fully capture the glass. The glass edge detection module 6 includes an edge detection camera assembly 61, a fixed beam splitter 62 and a movable beam splitter 63. The edge detection camera assembly 61 and the fixed beam splitter 62 are arranged on the frame 1, and the movable beam splitter 63 is movably arranged on the frame 1. The electronic cam is connected to the movable beam splitter 63 from the shaft 4. The fixed beam splitter 62 and the movable beam splitter 63 are used to adjust the viewing angle and illumination direction of the edge detection camera assembly 61. The edge detection camera assembly 61 includes a fixed projection light source for projecting special stripes or dot patterns onto the edge of the glass, and a line scanning detection camera for photographing the imaging effect of the pattern projected on the edge of the automobile glass, and also includes a fan for camera heat dissipation, and a fixed bracket for mounting components. The movable beam splitter 63 has a protective cover for keeping the mirror surface stable and avoiding external dust pollution. A servo screw module 8 is provided on the frame 1, and the electronic cam is connected to the movable beam splitter 63 from the shaft 4 through the servo screw module 8. When the adjustment motor receives the coupling start command, it drives the servo screw module 8 to adjust the position of the mobile spectroscope 63, thereby realizing the function of the camera lens automatically focusing on the edge of the automobile glass. A set of electronic cam slave shafts 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 1 along the feeding direction perpendicular to the glass conveying module 2, and a set of glass edge detection modules 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 1 along the feeding direction perpendicular to the glass conveying module 2.
