Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of generator pipe positioning and conveying tools, in particular to a positioning and conveying device for processing automobile safety airbag gas generator pipes. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the airbag gas generator is to quickly generate a large amount of gas in certain situations such as when a car crashes, so that the airbag can be quickly inflated and deployed, providing cushioning protection for the occupants in the car, reducing the impact force on the human body at the moment of collision, and effectively reducing the severity of injuries;

[0003] In the past, the processing of gas generator pipe fittings was done manually. First, the pipe fittings had to be picked up manually, and then the positioning devices had to be installed on both ends of the pipe fittings using the corresponding tools. After that, the pipe fittings with the positioning devices installed had to be manually sent to the processing area before subsequent processing could be carried out. Throughout the entire process, since each step relied on manual work, not only was the work efficiency very low, but it also consumed a lot of manpower costs, which was not conducive to the efficient development of production.

[0004] Moreover, the speed of manual operation is limited. In the process of installing the positioning device, the installation efficiency is low due to the influence of workers' proficiency and fatigue, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. The consistency of manual operation is poor. There are deviations in the position and direction of the positioning device installed by different workers, which affects the quality of subsequent processing, reduces the product qualification rate, increases the scrap rate and rework costs, and is not conducive to enterprises maintaining their advantages in market competition. In the process of position transmission of pipe fittings under the action of transmission rollers, due to the complex and changeable transmission environment of pipe fittings, the speed of the conveyor belt may fluctuate due to load changes, and the friction between the pipe fittings and the transmission rollers is not constant. As a result, when the pipe fittings are transmitted to the specified position, the rotation angle is uncertain, and the positioning device is difficult to accurately match with the pipe fittings, affecting the assembly efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, improvements need to be made based on the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0010] The processing module analyzes the installation time data to determine whether the installation of the positioning device requires the transmission roller to pause. When it is determined that a pause is required, a pause signal is generated and transmitted to the warning module; the distance data is analyzed to determine the adjustment speed of the electric push rods on both sides; the installation position data and the speed data are analyzed to determine the adjustment direction of the positioning device on the electric push rod, a direction adjustment signal is generated, and the direction adjustment signal is transmitted to the warning module;

[0011] The warning module, upon receiving the pause signal, pauses the rotation of the transmission roller; upon receiving the direction adjustment signal, adjusts the direction of the positioning device according to the rotation angle.

[0012] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the mounting plate, and a plurality of equidistant sprockets are transversely provided in the cavity. The sprockets at both ends are fixedly connected to drive rollers, and chains are sleeved on the outer sides of the sprockets on both sides of the same end, and the chains are meshed with the sprockets at the same end for transmission.

[0018] Preferably, the processing module performs the following steps to determine the installation time:

[0019] Step 1: retrieve the historical installation time data of the positioning device of the electric push rod, calculate the mean a and standard deviation b of the historical installation time data, establish the fluctuation range [a-2b, a+2b] of the historical installation time data with the mean a and standard deviation b, mark the historical installation time data that is no longer within the fluctuation range as an outlier, and after removing the outlier, calculate the mean of the remaining historical installation time data, and use the mean of the historical installation time data as the average installation time t of the positioning device AZ ;

[0020] Step 2: Compare the average installation time with the preset installation time threshold. If the average installation time is greater than the preset installation time threshold, it is determined that the installation of the positioning device takes a long time, and the transmission roller needs to stop rotating to wait for the installation of the positioning device, generate a pause signal, and transmit the pause signal to the warning module; otherwise, it is determined that there is no impact and the transmission roller continues to run.

[0021] Preferably, the analysis module performs the following steps to analyze the installation positioning of the installation device:

[0022] Step 1: Detect the installation direction of the positioning device at both ends of the pipe on the transmission roller, and record the corresponding time data of the detection, grayscale the collected image data at both ends of the pipe, and divide the grayscale processed image according to the 3X3 domain window, so that the grayscale processed image becomes a number of 3X3 domain windows; calculate the mean grayscale value of the 9 pixels in the 3X3 domain window, and use the calculated grayscale mean as the grayscale value of the corresponding 3X3 domain window; mark the grayscale value data at the four corner positions of the positioning device installation position, and record them as corner grayscale value one, corner grayscale value two, corner grayscale value three and corner grayscale value four respectively;

[0023] Step 2: Analyze the installation position image data at both ends of the pipe fitting, and compare the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window with the corner grayscale value one, corner grayscale value two, corner grayscale value three and corner grayscale value four respectively. If the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window is the same as one of the four corner grayscale values, determine that the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window is the corresponding corner grayscale value; after determining that three different corner grayscale values ​​are detected, the detected corner grayscale values ​​are numbered and distinguished, and a contour map at the installation position is constructed, and the corresponding numbered corner grayscale values ​​are matched in a clockwise direction at the four corner positions of the contour map to determine the installation direction of the positioning device; according to the positions corresponding to the three corner grayscale values ​​obtained, the installation position corner corresponding to another corner grayscale value is deduced, and the position of the arrow extending from the center of the installation position to the direction corresponding to the corner grayscale value one is the installation direction;

[0024] Step 3: Calculate the linear distance between the detection position and the electric push rod position for the transmission roller position data corresponding to the installation position detection time. Calculate the time t when the pipe reaches the corresponding position of the electric push rod based on the linear distance data between the detection position and the electric push rod position and the rotation speed data of the transmission roller. DD ; Get the installation direction of both ends of the pipe at the time of detection, get the circumference data C and radius data r of the pipe, and the rotation speed of the transmission roller is v cd , the rotation time is t DD , then the distance L that the pipe needs to rotate to reach the corresponding position of the electric push rod D =v cd *t DD , determine the angle of rotation of the pipe from the detection position to the electric push rod position If θ>360°, calculate the offset angle α, α=θ-n*360°, where n is the largest positive integer satisfying α>0;

[0025] Step 4: Add multiple uniform marks on the outer circumference of the pipe fitting, each mark has a different color and is arranged clockwise. When the pipe fitting rotates and moves under the action of the driving roller 4, the image data of the rotation of the pipe fitting is collected, and then the collected image data is gray-processed; the gray value of each mark on the image after gray-processing is compared with the corresponding preset gray value. If the gray value of the mark is the same as the corresponding preset gray value, the color of the mark is determined to be the color of the corresponding preset corresponding color mark; if no mark of the same color is detected within the detection time period, it is determined that the pipe fitting has rotated one circle. When the pipe fitting reaches the detection position, the image data at the arrival time is analyzed to determine whether there is a mark at the middle position of the image; if there is a mark, the color of the mark is determined, and the rotation deflection angle α of the pipe fitting is obtained according to the product of the arrangement sequence number of the mark color on the pipe fitting and the rotation angle value between adjacent marks; if there is no mark, the color of the marks on both sides of the middle position is determined, and then a secondary mark is set at the middle position of the gray-processed image, and the distance between the secondary mark and the color marks on both sides is calculated to obtain the rotation deflection angle α of the pipe fitting;

[0026] Step 5: Compare the rotation deflection angle α with the preset rotation deflection angle threshold 1. If the ratio of the rotation deflection angle α to the preset rotation deflection angle threshold 1 is not equal to the preset ratio, it is determined that there is an abnormality between the rotating roller and the pipe fitting; retrieve the corresponding rotation deflection angle data of the pipe fitting at each rotating roller position, and compare the retrieved rotation deflection angle data at the corresponding position with the preset rotation deflection angle threshold 2 at the corresponding position. If the rotation deflection angle data at the corresponding position is less than the preset rotation deflection angle threshold 2 at the corresponding position, it is determined that the corresponding pipe fitting is abnormal, a heavy adjustment signal is generated, and the heavy adjustment signal is transmitted to the warning module; if the rotation deflection angle data at the corresponding position is greater than the preset rotation deflection angle threshold 2 at the corresponding position, it is determined that the corresponding pipe fitting is abnormal, a light adjustment signal is generated, and the light adjustment signal is transmitted to the warning module; while transmitting the adjustment signal, the serial number of the pipe fitting determined to be abnormal is transmitted to the warning module;

[0027] Step 6: grayscale processing is performed on the image data of the pipes judged to be abnormal during the rotation process, and the grayscale values ​​of the pipes and the rotating rollers at the corresponding positions within the set interval are recorded, and the abnormal grayscale values ​​are screened out; if there is an abnormal grayscale value at the corresponding position of the pipe, the pipe is judged to be abnormal, and the abnormal position is marked; if there is an abnormal grayscale value at the corresponding position of the rotating roller, the rotating roller is judged to be abnormal, and the abnormal position is marked;

[0028] Step 7: Compare the rotation deflection angles α calculated by the two methods. If the rotation deflection angles α are the same, it is determined that the detection is correct; otherwise, it is determined that the detection is incorrect and the detection is repeated.

[0029] Preferably, the warning module performs the following steps to adjust the angle of the mounting device on the electric push rod:

[0030] Step 1: Determine the installation direction of the positioning device on the electric push rod, obtain the installation direction of the corresponding end of the pipe fitting at the time of detection, and detect the angle data β between the two directions. If α=β, it is determined that no adjustment is required; otherwise, calculate the angle to be adjusted, and the angle to be adjusted γ=α-β;

[0031] Step 2: If |α-β|>180° and α-β is a positive value, it is determined that the direction of the positioning device is adjusted counterclockwise, and the positioning device on the electric push rod is rotated counterclockwise with an angle of 180°-(α-β); if |α-β|>180° and α-β is a negative value, it is determined that the direction of the positioning device is adjusted clockwise, and the positioning device on the electric push rod is rotated clockwise with an angle of 180°-|α-β|;

[0032] Step 3: If |α-β|<180° and α-β is a positive value, it is determined that the direction of the positioning device is adjusted clockwise, and the positioning device on the electric push rod is rotated clockwise with an angle of α-β; if |α-β|<180° and α-β is a negative value, it is determined that the direction of the positioning device is adjusted counterclockwise, and the positioning device on the electric push rod is rotated counterclockwise with an angle of |α-β|.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The cooperation of the chain and the sprocket facilitates the rotation of the transmission roller, thereby facilitating the transportation of the gas generator pipe fittings and improving work efficiency; the cooperation of the outer gear ring and the gear facilitates the rotation of the positioning holder, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the positioning device; the cooperation of the supporting block and the supporting platform facilitates the electric push rod to quickly push the positioning device into both ends of the pipe fitting, thereby improving work efficiency; the cooperation of the electric push rod and the positioning holder facilitates the rapid installation of the positioning device, thereby improving work efficiency and work effect;

[0035] 2. Through data analysis of the control components, during the installation of the positioning device, the operating status of the transmission roller and the electric push rod are dynamically adjusted according to the installation time and the position of the pipe fitting, avoiding the time waste caused by waiting or operating errors, greatly shortening the processing cycle of a single pipe fitting, improving the overall production efficiency, and meeting the needs of large-scale production; the installation direction of the positioning device is accurately controlled, effectively reducing the processing error caused by the deviation of the installation direction, improving the consistency and precision of the product, ensuring the accuracy of the processing process, thereby improving product quality and reducing the scrap rate; reducing the uncertainty and errors caused by manual operation, further optimizing the production process, and saving production costs for the enterprise;

[0036] 3. Through the combination of transmission time and rotation angle, even if a small error occurs in one judgment method at a certain moment, the other method can make up for it, avoiding the continuous accumulation of errors and ensuring that the accuracy of the installation position and direction judgment is always maintained at a high level; by combining the two methods, no matter how the conveyor belt speed changes, as long as the rotation angle is monitored to reach the expected level and the transmission time is also within a reasonable range, the pipe position and installation direction can be accurately judged, so that the equipment can still operate stably under complex working conditions;

[0037] 4. The abnormal positions on the rotating roller and the outside of the pipe are detected through the analysis module, and the abnormal positions are marked. Then, the current supplied to the electromagnet section on the inner side of the rotating roller is adjusted to adjust the force between the rotating roller and the pipe, thereby improving the stability of pipe transmission.

[0049] A control box is installed on the rack 1, and a control component is arranged inside the control box. The control component includes a collection module, a processing module and an alarm module;

[0050] The historical installation time data of the positioning device of the electric push rod 15 is retrieved, and the mean a and standard deviation b of the historical installation time data are calculated. The fluctuation range [a-2b, a+2b] of the historical installation time data is established with the mean a and standard deviation b. The historical installation time data that is no longer within the fluctuation range is marked as an abnormal value. After removing the abnormal value, the mean of the remaining historical installation time data is calculated, and the mean of the historical installation time data is taken as the average installation time t of the positioning device. AZ ; Compare the average installation time with the preset installation time threshold. If the average installation time is greater than the preset installation time threshold, it is determined that the installation of the positioning device takes a long time, and the transmission roller 4 needs to stop rotating to wait for the installation of the positioning device, generate a pause signal, and transmit the pause signal to the warning module; otherwise, it is determined that there is no impact, and the transmission roller 4 continues to operate;

Z and L Y , then the adjustment speeds of the electric push rods 15 on the corresponding sides are and The adjustment speed of the electric push rod 15 is adjusted according to the calculated adjustment speed data.

[0052] The installation direction of the positioning device at both ends of the pipe on the driving roller 4 is detected, and the corresponding time data of the detection is recorded, the collected image data at both ends of the pipe is grayed, and the grayed image is divided according to the 3X3 domain window, so that the grayed image is changed into a number of 3X3 domain windows; the gray values ​​of the 9 pixels in the 3X3 domain window are averaged, and the calculated gray mean is the gray value of the corresponding 3X3 domain window; the gray value data at the four corner positions of the positioning device installation position are marked, and are recorded as corner gray value one, corner gray value two, corner gray value three and corner gray value four respectively;

[0053] When locating the installation position of the positioning device, the installation position image data at both ends of the pipe are analyzed, and the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window are compared with the corner grayscale value one, the corner grayscale value two, the corner grayscale value three and the corner grayscale value four respectively. If the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window is the same as one of the four corner grayscale values, the grayscale mean data of the detected 3X3 field window is determined to be the corresponding corner grayscale value; after determining that three different corner grayscale values ​​are detected, the detected corner grayscale values ​​are numbered and distinguished, and a contour map at the installation position is constructed, and the corresponding numbered corner grayscale values ​​are matched in a clockwise direction at the four corner positions of the contour map to determine the installation direction of the positioning device; according to the positions corresponding to the three obtained corner grayscale values, the installation position corner corresponding to another corner grayscale value is deduced, and the position of the arrow extending from the center of the installation position to the direction corresponding to the corner grayscale value one is the installation direction;

[0054] The position data of the transmission roller 4 corresponding to the installation position detection time is used to calculate the straight-line distance between the detection position and the position of the electric push rod 15. According to the straight-line distance data between the detection position and the position of the electric push rod 15 and the rotation speed data of the transmission roller 4, the time t when the pipe reaches the corresponding position of the electric push rod 15 is calculated. DD ; Get the installation direction of both ends of the pipe at the time of detection, get the circumference data C and radius data r of the pipe, the rotation speed of the drive roller 4 is v cd , the rotation time is t DD , then the distance L that the pipe needs to rotate to reach the corresponding position of the electric push rod 15 D =vcd *t DD , determine the angle of rotation of the pipe from the detection position to the position of the electric push rod 15 If θ>360°, calculate the offset angle α, α=θ-n*360°, where n is the largest positive integer satisfying α>0;

[0055] A plurality of uniform marks are added on the outer circumference of the pipe fitting, each mark has a different color and is arranged clockwise. When the pipe fitting rotates and moves under the action of the driving roller 4, the image data of the rotation of the pipe fitting is collected, and then the collected image data is gray-processed; the gray value of each mark on the image after gray-processing is compared with the corresponding preset gray value. If the gray value of the mark is the same as the corresponding preset gray value, the color of the mark is determined to be the color of the corresponding preset corresponding color mark; if no mark of the same color is detected within the detection time period, it is determined that the pipe fitting has rotated one circle.
