[0030] The metal floor dent detection and automatic replacement device of the present invention can realize automatic detection, removal and replacement of metal floors through the coordinated action of multiple mechanical components and electronic devices. Its working principle involves the coordination of a precise positioning system, sensor monitoring, a drive system and a control system. The following is a specific implementation method of the invention: See also Figures 1 to 6 Mechanical structure and working principle Mounting Base 1: The mounting base serves as the supporting frame of the entire device and is installed horizontally to provide a stable working platform.

[0031] Columns 3 and wheel frames 4: Columns are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting base. The bottom of the columns is equipped with wheel frames and guide wheels, so that the device can move parallel to the guide rails 7 to ensure stability and accuracy when disassembling and replacing the metal floor.

[0032] Guide rail 7 and guide wheel 5: The guide rail provides a stable moving path for the guide wheel. The guide wheel abuts against the top of the guide rail by rolling, ensuring that the device can move smoothly along the guide rail and accurately position the metal floor.

[0033] Laser displacement sensor 2 and positioning system Laser displacement sensor 2: Located at the front end of the mounting base, multiple laser displacement sensors are installed at equal distances to detect the concave state of the metal floor surface in real time. The laser sensor monitors the distance change of the floor surface in real time, and can promptly detect and locate the concave part of the floor.

[0034] Electronic control system and central control module 13: The central control module is responsible for processing sensor data and controlling subsequent operation steps based on the position information fed back by the sensor. Specifically, when the sensor detects a sunken area, the central control module will send a signal to control the robot arm 12 and the drill and other equipment to perform subsequent operations.

[0035] Disassembly and Replacement Process Vertical moving axis 18 and lateral moving axis 17: These two axis drive devices adopt a screw drive structure, which enables the device to move accurately in three axes, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the drill and riveter. The combination of the vertical moving axis and the lateral moving axis ensures that the riveter and drill can work quickly and accurately, avoiding positioning errors caused by interference from the guide rail.

[0036] Vertical movement: The vertical moving shaft drives the drill bit and the riveter to rise and fall in the vertical direction, ensuring that the drill bit can accurately drill out the rivets and the riveter can complete the riveting work.

[0037] Lateral movement: The lateral movement axis controls the horizontal displacement of the riveter and drill, allowing the equipment to accurately align with various positions on the metal floor for operation.

[0038] Rotating motor 8 and HD camera 10: The rotating motor drives the HD camera in the mounting frame to rotate, thereby providing all-round visual feedback to assist precise operation. Through real-time video monitoring, the control system can ensure that various operations such as drilling and removing rivets and installing new floors proceed smoothly.

[0039] Transposition motor 20: The transposition motor is used to adjust the positions of the riveter and the drill bit, ensuring that the riveter and the drill bit can work independently of each other in different operation stages, avoiding mutual interference and improving work efficiency.

[0040] Coordination between rivet machine and drill Drill bit 22 and high-speed motor 23: A high-speed motor is provided on the top of the drill bit to ensure that the drill bit can rotate quickly and stably, thereby effectively drilling out the rivets on the metal floor. When drilling out the rivets, the operation of the high-speed motor provides sufficient power for the drill bit to ensure that the rivets can be drilled out smoothly.

[0041] Rivet machine 24 and electric push rod: The electric push rod is used to drive the riveter to rise and fall, ensuring that the riveter can accurately install new rivets. The movement of the riveter and the working height of the drill are coordinated and controlled through the vertical moving axis to ensure the precise matching of the rivet and the drill, avoiding the misalignment of the rivets and the errors in the floor installation.

[0042] Electronic control system and intelligent control Central control module 13: The central control module is the "brain" of the invention, responsible for comprehensive processing of data from various sensors and actuators, and for command scheduling according to preset program logic. When a dent in the metal floor is detected, the system will automatically perform corresponding actions, including removing the old board, installing the new board, fixing the new board, and a series of other operations.

[0043] Control logic: Laser displacement sensor feedback: After the laser sensor detects the dent information of the metal floor, it transmits the data to the central control module.

[0044] Positioning control: Based on the data from the laser displacement sensor, the central control module calculates and dispatches the drive of the vertical and horizontal moving axes to ensure that the drill and riveter reach the target position accurately.

[0045] Drilling and riveting operations: Control the rotating motor to start the drill to drill out rivets, and control the riveting machine to lift and lower through the electric push rod to complete the riveting operation.

[0046] Full-process monitoring and feedback: HD cameras provide visual feedback, and the control system further confirms whether the operation is completed through image recognition, ensuring that the rivets are accurately fixed and the floor is firmly installed.

[0047] System safety and fault diagnosis Sensor self-check and alarm system: To ensure stable operation of the system, the device has an integrated self-check function. When a sensor fails or is abnormal, the central control module will sound an alarm and automatically shut down the device to avoid damage to the device or misoperation.

[0048] Fault diagnosis and recovery function: The system also has fault diagnosis and recovery function. Once a device failure or abnormality is detected, the control system will start the emergency mode and continue to complete basic operations through the backup system until the fault is eliminated.

[0049] Brief description of the workflow Detection: A laser displacement sensor scans the metal floor and detects recessed areas.

[0050] Positioning: Based on sensor data, the central control module controls the vertical and horizontal movement axes to accurately position the drill and riveter.

[0051] Disassembly: The drill removes the rivets from the metal floor and the robotic arm moves the old floor to the old pallet.

[0052] Install the new plate: remove the new metal floor from the new plate table, install it to the location to be installed, and the electric push rod drives the riveter to complete the riveting operation.

[0053] Feedback and adjustment: Cameras and sensors provide feedback on adjustments to ensure precise installation.

[0054] Through the above-mentioned control system, sensor coordination and precise operation of the mechanical structure, the present invention can efficiently and accurately complete the dent detection and automatic replacement of the metal floor, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.
