Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of object spraying, and in particular to a method for position confirmation and precise spraying of a large-area planar object. Background Art

[0002] A large flat object such as a steel plate. After the steel plate is transported to the printing position, the position coordinates are uncertain. It is usually necessary to manually measure the actual position of the steel plate relative to the printing device, and then input the coordinate information into the control program of the printing system. And if the steel plate rotates during transportation or loading and unloading, there will be a certain angle difference between its surface and the preset printing coordinate system. This will cause the actual position of the printed pattern or text on the steel plate to be inconsistent with the pre-spraying position, causing the printed pattern to be skewed, affecting the appearance quality and use function of the product. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to manually adjust the angle of the nozzle to make it parallel to the steel plate, or adjust the angle of the steel plate according to the printing axis. However, throughout the process, the manual measurement and adjustment method not only relies on the skills and experience of the workers, but is also inefficient and easily introduces human errors, affecting the consistency and efficiency of production.

After the steel plate stops in the printing area, the laser sensor is driven by the axis control to detect the edge of the steel plate to obtain the position coordinates;

[0008] (1.2) Dynamic object line scanning: Use a visual sensor installed just above the conveyor line. When the steel plate passes under the visual sensor, it accurately captures the edge, feature points or specific marks of the steel plate, and cooperates with the encoder to obtain the position information of the entire steel plate;

[0009] 2. Steel plate rotation information processing: Receive the real-time position information from the sensor and use the algorithm to calculate the rotation angle compensation value required for the printed pattern; based on the calculated compensation value, the pre-processing system adjusts the original printed pattern to ensure that the pattern can be correctly aligned on the steel plate;

[0010] 3. Use precision stepper motor or servo motor to ensure that the printing point accurately matches the predetermined position on the steel plate;

[0011] 4. Develop an intuitive and easy-to-use human-machine interface that allows operators to monitor system status, adjust parameter settings, and receive fault alarm information;

[0012] 5. The system has a built-in feedback mechanism to continuously monitor the printing quality, fine-tune the algorithm parameters according to the actual results, and optimize the printing accuracy and efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the sensors in step 1 are installed according to a predetermined layout, and through precise calibration, the physical position information is accurately converted into a digital signal, thereby improving the accuracy.
