[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here.

[0023] As introduced in the background technology, the existing palletizing robots cannot effectively monitor the problem of non-palletizing materials mixing in during operation, it is difficult to effectively prevent operators from entering by mistake, and the real-time progress of the palletizing operation cannot be intuitively displayed, affecting production efficiency. In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the operators of the palletizing robot system cannot intuitively understand the progress and status of palletizing, resulting in the operators being unable to respond to emergencies in a timely manner, the embodiments of the present application provide a safety monitoring system for a palletizing robot and a real-time display method, device and computer-readable storage medium for the palletizing status.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] In this embodiment, a safety monitoring system for a palletizing robot is provided. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: palletizing robot, multiple sensors, integrated proximity sensor, PLC and touch screen, among which,

[0026] Palletizing robots are used to perform palletizing operations of palletized materials;

[0027] Specifically, a palletizing robot is a common device in the field of automated warehousing and logistics, which is used to stack scattered materials into stacks according to a certain pattern to improve storage efficiency and cargo handling speed. With respect to the palletizing robot, the present application is configured to perform palletizing operations and respond to control instructions issued by a PLC to adapt to different stacking needs and safety requirements.

[0028] A variety of sensors are installed at the joints of the palletizing robot. The sensors are used to collect the operating status parameters of the palletizing robot during the palletizing process.

[0029] Specifically, multiple sensors are installed at the joints of the palletizing robot to monitor the robot's operating parameters, including but not limited to the position, speed and acceleration of the joints. This is achieved by installing corresponding sensors (such as position sensors, speed sensors and acceleration sensors) at each joint or key position. The data collected by these sensors is crucial for real-time monitoring of the robot's motion status, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the palletizing process.

[0030] Integrated proximity sensor to detect whether there are workers entering the palletizing area;

[0031] Specifically, the integrated proximity sensor is used to monitor whether there are workers or non-palletizing materials in the palletizing area. This sensor is usually installed at the entrance of the palletizing area or within the robot's operating range. When it detects someone approaching or abnormal materials appearing, it sends a signal to the PLC, triggering the safety mechanism to stop the palletizing robot from moving to avoid potential injury or damage.

[0032] PLC, which is connected to the palletizing robot, the integrated proximity sensor and the sensor respectively. The PLC is used to receive and process the operation status parameters, obtain the palletizing progress, and send control instructions to the palletizing robot to control the palletizing robot to perform the palletizing operation and to warn the operator to enter the palletizing area;

[0033] Specifically, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) serves as the control core of the entire system. It communicates with the palletizing robot, the integrated proximity sensor, and a variety of sensors. The PLC is responsible for receiving and processing the operating status parameters of the sensor, calculating the palletizing progress based on these data, and generating corresponding control instructions. When the PLC receives an emergency signal from the integrated proximity sensor, it immediately sends an emergency stop command to the palletizing robot and displays an alarm message on the touch screen. The data exchange between the PLC and the touch screen is carried out through the Modbus TCP protocol to ensure efficient and stable information transmission.

[0034] The touch screen is connected to the PLC for real-time display of the palletizing progress, which at least includes the height of the pallet platform and the palletized materials included in the pallet platform.

[0035] Specifically, the touch screen is a human-machine interface that communicates with the PLC and is used to display the status and progress of the palletizing robot in real time. The display content on the touch screen includes at least the height of the pallet and the materials on the pallet. This information is pushed periodically by the PLC and received and displayed by the touch screen through the MCGS configuration software.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the touch screen is also used to display the state of the pallet shape and the shape information of the material, so as to help the operator intuitively understand the palletizing process. When an abnormal situation occurs such as a person approaching or non-palletizing material mixing, a visual alarm is issued.

[0037] In the above embodiment, through the system, the operating status of the palletizing robot can be monitored in real time to ensure the safety and efficiency of the production process, and it is suitable for various industrial production scenarios that require material palletizing.

[0038] Based on this embodiment, by integrating a variety of sensors and monitoring equipment, comprehensive monitoring of the operating status of the palletizing robot and real-time display of the palletizing progress are achieved, which significantly improves production efficiency and safety. The system can promptly identify the mixing of non-palletizing materials, avoiding potential production errors. At the same time, it monitors and alarms the approach of operators, effectively preventing the occurrence of safety accidents. The visual display of the touch screen enables operators to intuitively understand the progress of the palletizing operation, facilitates real-time adjustment of the production plan, and further improves the flexibility and efficiency of the production line. In addition, the visual camera assists in recording the entry of operators, providing a basis for subsequent production data analysis and personnel management. The system solves the problem in the prior art that the operators of the palletizing robot system cannot intuitively understand the progress and status of the palletizing, resulting in the operator's inability to respond to emergencies in a timely manner.

[0039] In order to achieve accurate alarm of personnel approaching, in an optional implementation, the safety monitoring system of the palletizing robot further includes:

[0040] The visual camera is connected to the PLC communication. The visual camera is used to assist the integrated proximity sensor to record the operators entering the palletizing area.

[0041] Specifically, in traditional safety monitoring systems, integrated proximity sensors can detect the presence of personnel, but may not provide specific information about the personnel, such as location, direction of movement, or whether they are carrying non-palletizing materials. Vision cameras can provide this additional information by capturing real-time images of the palletizing area and using image processing and analysis technology.

[0042] In an optional implementation, the workflow is as follows:

[0043] Image capture: The vision camera continuously captures images of the palletizing area, which may contain the activities of operators, palletizing materials, and palletizing robots. Image processing: The captured images are analyzed inside the vision camera or through an image processing module connected to the PLC to identify people, objects, and their locations in the image. Information transmission: The vision camera sends the analysis results, that is, specific information about the operator, to the PLC through the communication interface. PLC logic processing: After receiving the information from the vision camera, the PLC combines it with the data from the integrated proximity sensor to perform logical judgment. If a person is detected approaching the palletizing area and is in a dangerous position, the PLC will immediately send an emergency stop command to the palletizing robot and issue an alarm to the operator through the touch screen.

[0044] In the above embodiment, by introducing the visual camera, the palletizing robot safety monitoring system realizes more comprehensive safety protection and more intelligent operation status monitoring, ensuring the safety, efficiency and controllability of the palletizing operation, and effectively preventing operators from mistakenly entering the palletizing area.

[0045] In order to accurately confirm the operating status of the palletizing robot, in an optional embodiment, the multiple sensors include:

[0046] Positioning sensors are used to position the palletizing robot and its joints;

[0047] Specifically, positioning sensors are mainly used to accurately position the palletizing robot and its joints, ensuring that the robot can move accurately to the predetermined position when performing palletizing operations. This is achieved by installing high-precision position sensors on the robot's key joints. The sensors track the displacement of the robot's joints in real time to ensure that it moves according to the programmed path, and can also detect any deviation from the preset path.

[0048] Load sensor, used to monitor the weight of the palletizing materials grabbed by the palletizing robot;

[0049] Specifically, the load sensor is mainly responsible for monitoring the load weight of the palletizing robot when it grabs materials, ensuring that the robot works within a safe load range. This is to avoid exceeding the robot's load capacity, causing damage to the robot and affecting the stability of palletizing. The load sensor is usually installed on the grabbing tool or joint of the palletizing robot, and can provide real-time feedback on the weight of the grabbed material, thereby helping the PLC determine whether the robot is in a safe working state.

[0050] Acceleration sensor, used to monitor the real-time acceleration of the palletizing robot;

[0051] Specifically, the accelerometer is used to monitor the real-time acceleration of the palletizing robot during movement, to control the robot's dynamic response and to prevent sudden movement. During palletizing operations, the robot needs to frequently accelerate and decelerate to meet different palletizing requirements. The accelerometer can monitor the acceleration changes during this process to ensure that the robot moves smoothly and without impact. It can also detect any unexpected rapid movements and trigger safety mechanisms in a timely manner.

[0052] Photoelectric sensors are used to assist the palletizing robot in adjusting the position of palletizing materials and to monitor whether non-palletizing materials are mixed into the pallet.

[0053] Specifically, photoelectric sensors play a role in assisting positioning and safety monitoring in the palletizing robot system. They mainly detect the existence and position of objects by emitting and receiving light, and can help the palletizing robot adjust the precise position of materials during the palletizing process to ensure the stability and aesthetics of the palletizing. In addition, photoelectric sensors can also be used to monitor whether there are non-palletizing materials on the palletizing platform. Once detected, a signal is immediately sent to the PLC to trigger a safety mechanism to prevent non-palletizing materials from mixing into the palletizing platform, affecting the quality and even safety of the palletizing.

[0054] In the above embodiment, through the comprehensive application of multiple sensors, the palletizing robot safety monitoring system can monitor the robot's operating status in all directions, promptly discover and deal with potential safety hazards, ensure the smooth progress of the palletizing operation, and also provide the operator with intuitive and real-time operating status feedback.

[0055] Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for real-time display of the palletizing status according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0056] Step S201, controlling a plurality of sensors to monitor the operating state of the palletizing robot to obtain first target data, wherein the first target data at least includes position data of the palletizing robot joints and image data of the materials transported by the palletizing robot;

[0057] Specifically, first, the operating status of the palletizing robot is monitored to obtain the first target data, which specifically includes: Positioning sensor: continuously monitors the position of the palletizing robot joints to ensure that the robot can accurately move to the predetermined position during palletizing. Photoelectric sensor: assists the palletizing robot in adjusting the position of the palletizing material, and monitors whether non-palletizing materials are mixed into the palletizing platform. The first target data set in this application at least includes the position data of the palletizing robot joints and the image data of the materials carried by the palletizing robot. The position data comes from the positioning sensor, which can be the precise coordinates or relative position information of the joints, to help determine whether the robot moves along the predetermined path. The image data comes from photoelectric sensors or other visual devices, which are used to identify and track materials to ensure their correct layout on the palletizing platform.

[0058] Step S202, controlling the PLC to determine the state of the stack according to the first target data, and obtaining the second target data, wherein the second target data at least includes the stack height and the material list;

[0059] Specifically, the PLC determines the state of the pallet based on the first target data and obtains the second target data, which specifically includes: data processing: the PLC first processes the first target data, and combines the original data of the sensor and the pre-set rules to calculate the current height of the pallet and the layout of the materials. State determination: Based on the processed data, the PLC can determine whether the pallet has reached a predetermined height, and whether the materials on the pallet meet the preset palletizing mode. In addition, through the analysis of image data, it can be confirmed whether non-palletizing materials are mixed in the pallet. The second target data set in this application at least includes the height of the pallet and the material list, which is the core indicator of the status of the palletizing operation, and can reflect the progress of the operation and the accuracy of the material stacking.

[0060] Step S203, controlling the touch screen to visualize the real-time status of the stacking platform through the MGGS configuration software according to the first target data and the second target data.

[0061] Specifically, the touch screen serves as an interface for operators to interact with the system, and receives and processes the second target data from the PLC through the MCGS configuration software, as well as the display-related part of the first target data, such as image data. The MCGS configuration software provides a rich graphic library and components that can be used to design and implement a visual display of the stacking platform status.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the visualization display method of the touch screen may include: Dynamic graphic display: The touch screen is designed with graphic elements representing the pallet and materials. The size, position and color of these elements can be dynamically updated as the height of the pallet and the material list change, intuitively displaying the palletizing process. Real-time image monitoring: The image data captured by the photoelectric sensor or visual camera can be displayed in real time on the touch screen. The operator can monitor the material layout on the pallet and the working status of the palletizing robot to ensure the safe operation. Progress information display: The touch screen may also have components such as a progress bar and a digital counter to display the completion rate or remaining quantity of the palletizing operation to help the operator understand the progress of the operation.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the present application effectively combines sensor data acquisition, PLC logic processing and touch screen visualization technology to provide operators with real-time and intuitive palletizing status feedback, which not only improves the safety of palletizing operations, but also greatly improves operational efficiency and accuracy. Through the visual display of the touch screen, operators can quickly understand the actual status of the palletizing platform, adjust operating parameters or respond to emergencies in a timely manner, and ensure the smooth progress of palletizing operations.

[0064] In order to prevent non-palletizing materials from mixing in, in an optional implementation, after controlling multiple sensors to monitor the operating status of the palletizing robot and obtaining the first target data, the method further includes:

[0065] Step S301, controlling the PLC to analyze the first target data, extracting the image data in the first target data, and obtaining the third target data;

[0066] Step S302, controlling the PLC to identify the third target data and perform calculations according to a preset classification algorithm to determine whether the material is a palletizing material, and to issue an alarm if the material is not a palletizing material.

[0067] Specifically, after the PLC receives the first target data including the image data, it performs the following steps:

[0068] Data extraction: PLC first extracts image data from the first target data and treats it as a separate processing object to form the third target data.

[0069] Image recognition and classification: PLC uses the preset image analysis algorithm to process the third target data and identify the objects in the image. This process may involve the analysis of the shape, size, color and position of the object to determine whether the object in the image is the material in the palletizing plan.

[0070] Classification algorithm operation: PLC compares the identified object with the preset classification standard, which may be a material database containing the characteristic description of palletizing materials. Through algorithm operation, PLC can determine whether the current object belongs to the category of palletizing materials.

[0071] Abnormal situation handling: If the object is identified as a non-palletizing material, the PLC will immediately activate the preset safety mechanism. On the one hand, it will send an alarm signal to the touch screen to display a warning message to alert the operator; on the other hand, the PLC will send a stop signal to the palletizing robot to prevent the robot from continuing to operate and avoid possible damage or safety risks.

[0072] In the above embodiment, through the real-time analysis and recognition of image data by PLC, combined with the alarm display function of the touch screen, the present invention can effectively prevent non-palletizing materials from mixing into the palletizing platform, avoid potential safety hazards, and is an important technical guarantee for safety monitoring in the automated palletizing system.

[0073] In order to visually display the status of the stacking platform, in an optional implementation, the above step S203 includes:

[0074] Step S2031, controlling the touch screen to traverse the material list in the second target data according to the stack graphics at the current moment, and obtaining the first target material, where the first target material is the material that does not contain the corresponding graphics in the stack graphics;

[0075] Step S2032, controlling the touch screen to extract a first target image from the first target data based on the first target material, where the first target image is image data corresponding to the first target material;

[0076] Step S2033, controlling the touch screen to determine the shape and size of the first target material according to the first target image, so as to update the real-time status of the stacking platform, and visually display it at a preset ratio through the MGGS configuration software.

[0077] Specifically, the visualization process of the touch screen includes:

[0078] Refresh the comparison between the stack graphics and the material list: Control the touch screen to traverse the material list in the second target data: The touch screen queries the second target data transmitted from the PLC regularly or in real time through the MCGS configuration software, namely the stack height and the material list (including the position, shape and other information of the materials on the stack). The touch screen software will traverse the current material list and compare it with the material graphics already in the stack graphics. If the corresponding graphics of a certain material are missing in the stack graphics, this material will be marked as the first target material, which means that it is a material newly added to the stack but not yet displayed on the touch screen.

[0079] It can be understood that there is a virtual pallet graphics on the touch screen, which represents the current state of palletizing.

[0080] Extract the first target image based on the first target material: The touch screen extracts the image data corresponding to the first target material from the first target data received from the PLC. These image data may come from photoelectric sensors or other visual devices, and contain intuitive visual information of the material.

[0081] Determine the shape and size of the first target material: Automatically identify and determine the shape and size of the material from the first target image through image processing techniques such as edge detection, shape recognition and size measurement algorithms. This process relies on advanced image analysis technology to accurately identify material features in complex backgrounds.

[0082] Update the real-time status of the pallet and visualize the updated pallet status: The touch screen updates the status of its internal pallet model based on the shape and size information of the first target material to ensure that the virtual pallet matches the layout and material status of the actual pallet.

[0083] Visual display: Through the MCGS configuration software, the touch screen will visualize the updated pallet status at a preset scale. This means that on the touch screen, the pallet graphics and its material representation will automatically adjust the size and position to reflect the actual progress of palletizing. For example, if new materials are added to the pallet, the pallet height on the touch screen will increase accordingly, while displaying the shape and size of the newly added materials.

[0084] In the above embodiments, the present application not only provides real-time feedback of the palletizing status, but also enhances the ability to identify the shape and size of materials through the analysis of image data, making the visual display of the pallet status more accurate and intuitive. It can help operators intuitively understand the progress of the palletizing operation and is suitable for production environments that require real-time monitoring of the pallet status.

[0085] In order to monitor the progress of the palletizing operation, in an optional embodiment, after determining the shape and size of the first target material according to the first target image to update the real-time status of the pallet platform and visually displaying it at a preset ratio through the MGGS configuration software, the method further includes:

[0086] Step S401, controlling the touch screen to extract the stack height according to the second target data to obtain the target stack height;

[0087] Specifically, after the PLC processes the sensor information and generates the second target data (including the stack height and the material list), the software on the touch screen reads these data regularly or in real time. The acquisition of the target stack height is based on the information transmitted by the PLC, and directly reads the variable value related to the stack height.

[0088] Step S402, controlling the touch screen to change the target indicator light to a first preset color when the target pallet height is greater than or equal to a first threshold, wherein the first preset color is used to indicate that palletizing of the pallet is completed.

[0089] Specifically, the system is designed with a preset standard threshold for the completion of the pallet height, namely the first threshold. This threshold is based on the maximum loading capacity of the pallet or the completion standard of the palletizing operation. Determine the pallet height: The touch screen software compares the target pallet height read in real time with the first threshold. If the pallet height reaches or exceeds the first threshold, the palletizing operation is considered to be completed. When the touch screen software determines that the pallet height reaches or exceeds the first threshold, it will change the color of the indicator light related to the pallet status to the first preset color. The first preset color is usually green, which is used to indicate that the palletizing of the pallet is completed and the system is in a safe state.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the touch screen can intuitively provide the operator with feedback on the palletizing status of the palletizing platform. In particular, when the operation is completed, the display of the green indicator light provides a clear signal to help the operator make the next operational decision.

[0091] In order to prevent the operators from approaching the palletizing area, in an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0092] Step S501, controlling the integrated proximity sensor to monitor whether there is an operator approaching the palletizing area, and generating a target signal and sending it to the PLC when the distance between the operator and the boundary of the palletizing area is less than a second threshold;

[0093] Specifically, proximity sensors, which usually use ultrasonic, infrared, laser and other technologies, are installed at the border of the palletizing area or around the palletizing robot. They continuously monitor any potential approaching objects, including operators, to ensure the safety of palletizing operations. When the system is designed, a second threshold is preset based on the range of motion, speed and safety distance of the palletizing robot, i.e., the minimum safety distance between the operator and the border of the palletizing area. When the distance between the operator and the border of the palletizing area is less than the second threshold, the integrated proximity sensor immediately generates a target signal, indicating a potential safety threat.

[0094] Step S502, controlling the PLC to give an alarm when receiving the target signal.

[0095] Specifically, after receiving the target signal: the PLC immediately starts the internal alarm logic program, which may include sending a warning message to the touch screen and triggering the emergency stop system of the palletizing robot. Alarm processing: the PLC can control the sound and light alarm devices in the palletizing area, such as buzzers and warning lights, to warn the operators and remind them to leave the dangerous area. At the same time, the PLC will also display the warning message on the touch screen to ensure that the operator can quickly know the situation.

[0096] In the above embodiments, the present application can respond promptly when an operator approaches, take effective safety measures, protect the operator from potential harm, and also ensure the smooth progress of the palletizing operation.

[0097] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0098] The present application embodiment also provides a real-time display device of a palletizing state. It should be noted that the real-time display device of the palletizing state of the present application embodiment can be used to execute the real-time display method for palletizing state provided by the present application embodiment. The device is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments, and the descriptions thereof will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can implement a combination of software and / or hardware of a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, the implementation of hardware, or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and conceived.

[0099] The following is an introduction to the real-time display device of the palletizing status provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0100] Figure 3 3 is a structural block diagram of a real-time display device for the palletizing state according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3 , the device includes:

[0101] A first control unit 10 is used to control a plurality of sensors to monitor the operating state of the palletizing robot to obtain first target data, wherein the first target data at least includes position data of the palletizing robot joints and image data of the materials transported by the palletizing robot;

[0102] Specifically, first, the operating status of the palletizing robot is monitored to obtain the first target data, which specifically includes: Positioning sensor: continuously monitors the position of the palletizing robot joints to ensure that the robot can accurately move to the predetermined position during palletizing. Photoelectric sensor: assists the palletizing robot in adjusting the position of the palletizing material, and monitors whether non-palletizing materials are mixed into the palletizing platform. The first target data set in this application at least includes the position data of the palletizing robot joints and the image data of the materials carried by the palletizing robot. The position data comes from the positioning sensor, which can be the precise coordinates or relative position information of the joints, to help determine whether the robot moves along the predetermined path. The image data comes from photoelectric sensors or other visual devices, which are used to identify and track materials to ensure their correct layout on the palletizing platform.

[0103] A second control unit 20, used to control the PLC to determine the state of the stack according to the first target data, and obtain second target data, where the second target data at least includes the stack height and a material list;

[0104] Specifically, the PLC determines the state of the pallet based on the first target data and obtains the second target data, which specifically includes: data processing: the PLC first processes the first target data, and combines the original data of the sensor and the pre-set rules to calculate the current height of the pallet and the layout of the materials. State determination: Based on the processed data, the PLC can determine whether the pallet has reached a predetermined height, and whether the materials on the pallet meet the preset palletizing mode. In addition, through the analysis of image data, it can be confirmed whether non-palletizing materials are mixed in the pallet. The second target data set in this application at least includes the height of the pallet and the material list, which is the core indicator of the status of the palletizing operation, and can reflect the progress of the operation and the accuracy of the material stacking.

[0105] The third control unit 30 is used to control the touch screen to visualize the real-time status of the stacking platform through the MGGS configuration software according to the first target data and the second target data.

[0106] Specifically, the touch screen serves as an interface for operators to interact with the system, and receives and processes the second target data from the PLC through the MCGS configuration software, as well as the display-related part of the first target data, such as image data. The MCGS configuration software provides a rich graphic library and components that can be used to design and implement a visual display of the stacking platform status.

[0107] In an optional embodiment, the visualization display method of the touch screen may include: Dynamic graphic display: The touch screen is designed with graphic elements representing the pallet and materials. The size, position and color of these elements can be dynamically updated as the height of the pallet and the material list change, intuitively displaying the palletizing process. Real-time image monitoring: The image data captured by the photoelectric sensor or visual camera can be displayed in real time on the touch screen. The operator can monitor the material layout on the pallet and the working status of the palletizing robot to ensure the safe operation. Progress information display: The touch screen may also have components such as a progress bar and a digital counter to display the completion rate or remaining quantity of the palletizing operation to help the operator understand the progress of the operation.

[0108] In the above embodiments, the present application effectively combines sensor data acquisition, PLC logic processing and touch screen visualization technology to provide operators with real-time and intuitive palletizing status feedback, which not only improves the safety of palletizing operations, but also greatly improves operational efficiency and accuracy. Through the visual display of the touch screen, operators can quickly understand the actual status of the palletizing platform, adjust operating parameters or respond to emergencies in a timely manner, and ensure the smooth progress of palletizing operations.

[0109] In order to prevent non-palletizing materials from mixing in, in an optional embodiment, the device further includes:

[0110] A fourth control unit is used for controlling the multiple sensors to monitor the running state of the palletizing robot, and after obtaining the first target data, controlling the PLC to analyze the first target data, extracting the image data in the first target data, and obtaining the third target data;

[0111] The fifth control unit is used to control the PLC to identify the third target data and perform calculations according to a preset classification algorithm to determine whether the material is a stacking material, and to issue an alarm if the material is not a stacking material.

[0112] Specifically, after the PLC receives the first target data including the image data, it performs the following steps:

[0113] Data extraction: PLC first extracts image data from the first target data and treats it as a separate processing object to form the third target data.

[0114] Image recognition and classification: PLC uses the preset image analysis algorithm to process the third target data and identify the objects in the image. This process may involve the analysis of the shape, size, color and position of the object to determine whether the object in the image is the material in the palletizing plan.

[0115] Classification algorithm operation: PLC compares the identified object with the preset classification standard, which may be a material database containing the characteristic description of palletizing materials. Through algorithm operation, PLC can determine whether the current object belongs to the category of palletizing materials.

[0116] Abnormal situation handling: If the object is identified as a non-palletizing material, the PLC will immediately activate the preset safety mechanism. On the one hand, it will send an alarm signal to the touch screen to display a warning message to alert the operator; on the other hand, the PLC will send a stop signal to the palletizing robot to prevent the robot from continuing to operate and avoid possible damage or safety risks.

[0117] In the above embodiment, through the real-time analysis and recognition of image data by PLC, combined with the alarm display function of the touch screen, the present invention can effectively prevent non-palletizing materials from mixing into the palletizing platform, avoid potential safety hazards, and is an important technical guarantee for safety monitoring in the automated palletizing system.

[0118] In order to visually display the status of the stacking platform, in an optional embodiment, the third control unit includes:

[0119] The first control module is used to control the touch screen to traverse the material list in the second target data according to the stacking platform graphic at the current moment to obtain the first target material, where the first target material is the material that does not contain the corresponding graphic in the stacking platform graphic;

[0120] A second control module is used to control the touch screen to extract a first target image from the first target data based on the first target material, where the first target image is image data corresponding to the first target material;

[0121] The third control module is used to control the touch screen to determine the shape and size of the first target material according to the first target image, so as to update the real-time status of the stacking platform, and to perform visual display at a preset ratio through the MGGS configuration software.

[0122] Specifically, the visualization process of the touch screen includes:

[0123] Refresh the comparison between the stack graphics and the material list: Control the touch screen to traverse the material list in the second target data: The touch screen queries the second target data transmitted from the PLC regularly or in real time through the MCGS configuration software, namely the stack height and the material list (including the position, shape and other information of the materials on the stack). The touch screen software will traverse the current material list and compare it with the material graphics already in the stack graphics. If the corresponding graphics of a certain material are missing in the stack graphics, this material will be marked as the first target material, which means that it is a material newly added to the stack but not yet displayed on the touch screen.

[0124] It can be understood that there is a virtual pallet graphics on the touch screen, which represents the current state of palletizing.

[0125] Extract the first target image based on the first target material: The touch screen extracts the image data corresponding to the first target material from the first target data received from the PLC. These image data may come from photoelectric sensors or other visual devices, and contain intuitive visual information of the material.

[0126] Determine the shape and size of the first target material: Automatically identify and determine the shape and size of the material from the first target image through image processing techniques such as edge detection, shape recognition and size measurement algorithms. This process relies on advanced image analysis technology to accurately identify material features in complex backgrounds.

[0127] Update the real-time status of the pallet and visualize the updated pallet status: The touch screen updates the status of its internal pallet model based on the shape and size information of the first target material to ensure that the virtual pallet matches the layout and material status of the actual pallet.

[0128] Visual display: Through the MCGS configuration software, the touch screen will visualize the updated pallet status at a preset scale. This means that on the touch screen, the pallet graphics and its material representation will automatically adjust the size and position to reflect the actual progress of palletizing. For example, if new materials are added to the pallet, the pallet height on the touch screen will increase accordingly, while displaying the shape and size of the newly added materials.

[0129] In the above embodiments, the present application not only provides real-time feedback of the palletizing status, but also enhances the ability to identify the shape and size of materials through the analysis of image data, making the visual display of the pallet status more accurate and intuitive. It can help operators intuitively understand the progress of the palletizing operation and is suitable for production environments that require real-time monitoring of the pallet status.

[0130] In order to monitor the progress of the palletizing operation, in an optional embodiment, the device further includes:

[0131] A sixth control unit is used to determine the shape and size of the first target material according to the first target image to update the real-time status of the stack, and after visually displaying it at a preset ratio through the MGGS configuration software, control the touch screen to extract the stack height according to the second target data to obtain the target stack height;

[0132] Specifically, after the PLC processes the sensor information and generates the second target data (including the stack height and the material list), the software on the touch screen reads these data regularly or in real time. The acquisition of the target stack height is based on the information transmitted by the PLC, and directly reads the variable value related to the stack height.

[0133] The seventh control unit is used to control the touch screen to change the target indicator light to a first preset color when the target stack height is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and the first preset color is used to indicate that the stacking of the stack is completed.

[0134] Specifically, the system is designed with a preset standard threshold for the completion of the pallet height, namely the first threshold. This threshold is based on the maximum loading capacity of the pallet or the completion standard of the palletizing operation. Determine the pallet height: The touch screen software compares the target pallet height read in real time with the first threshold. If the pallet height reaches or exceeds the first threshold, the palletizing operation is considered to be completed. When the touch screen software determines that the pallet height reaches or exceeds the first threshold, it will change the color of the indicator light related to the pallet status to the first preset color. The first preset color is usually green, which is used to indicate that the palletizing of the pallet is completed and the system is in a safe state.

[0135] In the above embodiment, the touch screen can intuitively provide the operator with feedback on the palletizing status of the palletizing platform. In particular, when the operation is completed, the display of the green indicator light provides a clear signal to help the operator make the next operational decision.

[0136] In order to prevent operators from approaching the palletizing area, in an optional embodiment, the device further includes:

[0137] an eighth control unit, configured to control the integrated proximity sensor to monitor whether an operator approaches the palletizing area, and to generate a target signal and send it to the PLC when the distance between the operator and the boundary of the palletizing area is less than a second threshold;

[0138] Specifically, proximity sensors, which usually use ultrasonic, infrared, laser and other technologies, are installed at the border of the palletizing area or around the palletizing robot. They continuously monitor any potential approaching objects, including operators, to ensure the safety of palletizing operations. When the system is designed, a second threshold is preset based on the range of motion, speed and safety distance of the palletizing robot, i.e., the minimum safety distance between the operator and the border of the palletizing area. When the distance between the operator and the border of the palletizing area is less than the second threshold, the integrated proximity sensor immediately generates a target signal, indicating a potential safety threat.

[0139] The ninth control unit is used to control the PLC to give an alarm when receiving a target signal.

[0140] Specifically, after receiving the target signal: the PLC immediately starts the internal alarm logic program, which may include sending a warning message to the touch screen and triggering the emergency stop system of the palletizing robot. Alarm processing: the PLC can control the sound and light alarm devices in the palletizing area, such as buzzers and warning lights, to warn the operators and remind them to leave the dangerous area. At the same time, the PLC will also display the warning message on the touch screen to ensure that the operator can quickly know the situation.
