Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sewing, and in particular relates to an intelligent contour-adaptive pressing tool device, method and sewing robot. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Sewing robots, due to their ability to adapt to the particularity of flexible materials, can effectively improve product consistency in high-precision and high-efficiency production processes and solve quality problems that are difficult to overcome with traditional processes. Sewing robots are seen as an important tool to help the textile industry achieve flexible production. At present, when handling fabrics of different shapes, sewing robots adopt corresponding pressing strategies according to the characteristics of the fabrics. For straight-edge products, conventional pressing tools are usually used. The robotic arm can dynamically adjust the distance between the pressing tool and the edge of the fabric according to the softness of the fabric to ensure that the fabric remains flat and wrinkles are not generated during the sewing process. However, when facing non-straight-edge fabrics such as wavy, concave-convex or toothed, the use of traditional straight-edge pressing tooling may cause problems such as wrinkles and warping, which will affect the sewing quality and even cause automated sewing to fail.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the commonly used method is to design and process special contoured end-pressing tools for fabrics of different shapes. Through customized tooling design, the robot can accurately press special-shaped fabrics to effectively prevent wrinkles and warping. However, this method also has the following problems: each fabric shape needs to be designed and processed separately, and the corresponding tooling must be replaced when the fabric is changed, which leads to a significant increase in production costs and a longer changeover time, thereby significantly reducing production efficiency and the flexibility of the robot system.

[0055] Embodiment 1
[0056] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the intelligent self-adaptive pressing tool device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 An intelligent profiling adaptive pressing tool device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an end pressing part 1, a servo adjustment part 2, a visual part and a control part.
[0057] The end pressing part 1 is connected to the end of the robot arm and is the direct execution component for completing the cloth pressing task. The device design gives priority to lightness and flexibility to minimize the load of the robot arm while ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the operation during the work process.
[0058] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the terminal pressing portion 1 includes a pressing key bar 11 and a clamping mechanism 12 connected thereto; one end of each pressing key bar 11 is provided with a finger lever slot 110 .
[0059] The structure of the push button bar is as follows Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the finger lever slot 110 is provided with an introduction bevel to guide the finger lever to be smoothly inserted into the finger lever slot during movement. For example, the introduction bevel is set to 15°, which can ensure a smoother connection process.
[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The end pressing part 1 also includes an adjustment box body 13, and the pressing key strip 11 is arranged in the adjustment box body 13. The gap between the pressing key strip 11 and the adjustment box body 13 is precisely controlled within 0.025 mm. In this way, the stepless adjustment spacing design can achieve continuous fine adjustment, improve the flexibility and versatility of the system, significantly reduce the debugging time and production cost of the equipment, and improve the production efficiency of the system.
[0061] In some specific embodiments, the surface of the push key bar 11 is specially hardened to ensure that it can slide freely when there is no external force, and can accurately reach a predetermined position when driven by the finger lever.
[0062] In this embodiment, the end pressing portion 1 further includes a robot arm connecting plate 14 , and the robot arm connecting plate 14 is fixed above the adjustment box body 13 , and the robot arm connecting plate 14 is also connected to the end of the robot arm.
[0063] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism uses two pneumatic clamping cylinders, which are arranged on both sides of the adjustment box, which greatly reduces the weight, simplifies the structure, and improves the operating efficiency. The lightweight design of the clamping mechanism optimizes the weight distribution of the entire pressing device, making it more suitable for high-speed and efficient working scenarios. This intelligent design solution not only effectively reduces the overall operating cost of the equipment, but also greatly improves production efficiency, providing strong technical support for the promotion and application of sewing robots in the field of flexible manufacturing.
[0064] The design of the servo adjustment unit combines the requirements of high precision, high efficiency and high reliability, and is precisely assembled from a variety of components such as a protective housing 22, a guide pin 23, a finger lever 21, a communication interface 24, a servo motor 26, a linear guide rail 27, a transmission screw 28, a base plate 29, a support plate 30, and a drive-control integrated PCB control board 25. The main function of the servo adjustment unit is to dynamically adjust the fabric pressing position through the point information provided by the visual system, thereby meeting the precise pressing requirements of various complex fabric shapes.
[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the servo adjustment unit 2 includes a driving mechanism and a finger lever 21 connected thereto; the finger lever 21 is inserted into a corresponding finger lever slot 110; the driving mechanism is used to drive the finger lever 21 to drive the pressing key bar 11 to move linearly.
[0066] Among them, the driving mechanism includes a plurality of servo motors 26 and a linear transmission mechanism, each of the servo motors 26 is used to drive the corresponding linear transmission mechanism to drive the corresponding finger lever 21 to move linearly, so that all the finger levers 21 are arranged to form a shape that matches the edge shape of the fabric to meet the complex pressing requirements of special-shaped fabrics.
[0067] In this embodiment, the linear transmission mechanism includes a linear guide rail 27 , a linear guide rail slider and a transmission screw 28 ; the linear guide rail slider is arranged on the linear guide rail 27 , the linear guide rail slider is connected to the transmission screw 28 , and the transmission screw 28 is connected to the servo motor 26 .
[0068] The components of the servo adjustment part are arranged in a protective shell 22, and a communication interface 24 is provided on one side of the protective shell 22; a guide pin 23 is provided on the protective shell 22, which matches and docks with the guide hole 15 on the end pressing part 1. The end pressing part and the servo adjustment part are docked through the guide hole 15 and the guide pin positioning 23.
[0069] A servo motor 26, a linear guide rail 27, a transmission screw 28, a bottom plate 29, a support plate 30 and a drive-control integrated PCB control board 25 are arranged inside the protective housing 22; the finger lever 21 is connected to the transmission screw 28 and extends out of the protective housing 22. Both ends of the linear transmission mechanism are arranged on the support plate 30; the drive-control integrated PCB control board 25 is connected to the servo motor and the control unit.
[0070] The working principle of the servo adjustment unit is as follows:
[0071] After the vision unit captures and analyzes the position information of the fabric, the integrated drive and control PCB control board converts the position information into instructions and sends them to the servo motor in the servo adjustment device. After the servo motor is started, it drives the transmission screw to rotate, and through the coordinated action of the nut seat and the linear guide slider, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, pushing the finger lever connected to the nut seat to slide along the linear guide, thereby achieving precise forward and backward movement of the finger lever. With the coordinated cooperation of multiple servo motors, the finger lever can be flexibly combined and arranged to generate any linear structure, so as to accurately adapt to the complex pressing requirements of special-shaped fabrics.
[0072] In order to ensure the stability and operating accuracy of the equipment in complex working environments, a sturdy protective casing is designed for the servo adjustment unit to ensure that the internal components of the device are protected from interference from the external environment; at the same time, the introduction of guide pins effectively improves the motion guidance and accuracy of the finger lever. The communication interface builds an efficient data interaction channel between the device and the visual system and robotic arm controller to ensure the real-time and accuracy of information transmission. In addition, the highly integrated design of the integrated drive and control PCB control board not only reduces the response delay of the system, but also significantly improves the overall control accuracy and reliability. With its high flexibility and adaptability, the entire device has demonstrated extraordinary performance in industrial automation applications, especially suitable for flexible manufacturing and high-complexity operation scenarios.
[0073] In the specific implementation process, the visual unit is used to collect the edge image of the cloth in real time, detect the edge point information of the cloth, convert it into the pressing target position information of each pressing key bar and transmit it to the control unit;
[0074] The control unit is used to control the driving mechanism to drive the finger lever to move the pressing key bar to the corresponding pressing target position according to the pressing target position information of each pressing key bar; and when each pressing key bar moves to the corresponding pressing target position, the clamping mechanism is controlled to clamp and lock each pressing key bar.
[0075] like Fig. 9 As shown, in the visual unit, the process of detecting the edge point information of the fabric and converting it into the pressing target position information of each pressing key strip is as follows:
[0076] Step 1: Identify and sample the cloth contour in the cloth edge image to obtain an initial contour point set in a preset pixel coordinate system.
[0077] Specifically, the fabric edge image can be acquired by using a depth camera to perform global image acquisition of the sewing environment to obtain a color image and a depth image of the fabric.
[0078] Before identifying the cloth outline in the cloth edge image, the image is filtered according to the cloth color, and the image is eroded and dilated.
[0079] In some specific implementations, the Canny operator is used to detect the cloth contour.
[0080] Step 2: Calculate the average values of the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate of each point in the initial contour point set respectively as the initial pressing target position.
[0081] Specifically, the cloth contour is sampled to obtain an initial contour point set, and the average values of the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of each point therein are calculated respectively as the initial pressing position (x0, y0) of the center of the end pressing device.
[0082] Step 3: Calculate the contour corner points based on the initial contour point set to determine the target sewing edge.
[0083] Specifically, the contour corner points are calculated, and the target sewing edge is divided and extracted. For example, the angle between the edge point and the line connecting the front and rear points is calculated, and a certain threshold is set. When the angle is greater than the threshold, the current edge point is considered to be a contour corner point. After obtaining the contour corner points, the edge can be divided into several segments, and the target sewing edge that needs to be sewn on the sewing machine can be extracted accordingly.
[0084] Step 4: Refit the edge line of the target sewing edge, resample the edge line according to the number of key bars pressed by the end pressing part, and obtain the corresponding edge point.
[0085] When the sampling points of the edge line do not match the number of the designed end pressing key strips, it is necessary to re-fit the line trace and then interpolate the corresponding number of points.
[0086] Specifically, the edge line of the target sewing edge is refitted, and the edge line is resampled according to the number n of key bars pressed by the end pressing portion to obtain corresponding edge points.
[0087] Step 5: Based on the resampled edge points, the initial pressing target position and the target sewing margin, the pressing target position corresponding to the current moment is obtained.
[0088] Specifically, through matrix transformation, the pixel coordinates of the above-mentioned edge points and the device center pressing point are converted into actual coordinates in the robot arm coordinate system, which are recorded as [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (xn, yn)] and (x0, y0) respectively; the target sewing margin d0 is set, and the interpolation of the edge pressing point and the device center pressing point is calculated to obtain the distance [d1, d2, ..., dn (where di = xi-x0-d0)], and the difference is sent to the end pressing part through the controller to control the pressing key bar to extend the corresponding length to press the edge of the cloth.
[0089] When the intelligent contour-adaptive pressing tool device is working, the end pressing part hovers above the servo adjustment part. The servo adjustment part drives the toggle lever to adjust the pressing key bar to the target position according to the point information and fixes it through the clamping mechanism. After the adjustment is completed, the end pressing part presses the fabric accurately. When the shape of the fabric changes, the visual part updates the point information in real time, and the servo adjustment part drives the toggle lever again to complete the repositioning.
[0090] The end pressing part of this embodiment can accurately press the fabric by pressing the arrangement of the key strips according to the point information provided by the visual part, especially when dealing with complex fabrics such as wavy, toothed or concave-convex fabrics, it can perfectly simulate their shapes and perform contour pressing operations. This design significantly improves the flatness of the fabric during sewing, avoids wrinkles and warping caused by the lack of precision of traditional pressing devices, and thus significantly improves the sewing quality.
[0091] Embodiment 2
[0092] The pressing method based on the intelligent contour-adaptive pressing tool device as described above comprises:
[0093] Step 1: Obtain the edge image of the fabric, detect the edge point information of the fabric, and convert it into the pressing target position information of each pressing key bar;
[0094] Step 2: According to the target position information of each push key bar, the corresponding control driving mechanism drives the finger lever to move the push key bar to the corresponding push target position; and when each push key bar moves to the corresponding push target position, the control clamping mechanism clamps and locks each push key bar.
[0095] Specifically, when the shape of the fabric changes, the pressing target position information of each pressing key bar is updated in real time;
[0096] According to the updated pressing target position information of each pressing key bar, the corresponding control driving mechanism drives the finger lever to drive the pressing key bar to move to the corresponding pressing target position; and when each pressing key bar moves to the corresponding pressing target position, the control clamping mechanism clamps and locks each pressing key bar.
[0097] The push button bar of this embodiment can flexibly adapt to the needs of fabrics of different sizes and shapes. According to the size of the fabric and the characteristics of the special-shaped curvature, the push button bar of the corresponding type and shape can be selected; the push button bar is fixed in place by extrusion and has the characteristics of quick installation and disassembly; during the adjustment process, the clamping mechanism is released, and the driving mechanism drives the push button bar to move to the target position, and then the clamping mechanism completes the clamping and locking; the modular design allows the pressing device to be quickly replaced and adjusted to adapt to a variety of fabric shapes and production needs.
