As for the structures, products, etc. provided in the embodiments, since they correspond to the parts provided in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the method part.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A flow chart of a device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to product assembly equipment, which includes a product assembly unit, an accessory cutting unit, and an accessory conveying unit. The product assembly unit includes a plurality of first stations, a plurality of second stations, and a rotating assembly. One first station corresponds to one second station, and each second station is arranged above the corresponding first station. The rotating assembly is used to drive the first station and the second station to rotate synchronously. The first station is used to obtain the cup body, and the second station is used to obtain the cup lid and to perform the lid-fastening action. The accessory cutting unit is used to cut the accessory material to obtain the accessories, and the accessory conveying unit is used to obtain the accessories and transfer the accessories to a preset position along the way of the first station.

[0045] For example, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of a product assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the product assembly device 1 is used to assemble yogurt products as an example for explanation. Figure 2In the embodiment, the first conveyor belt 30 is used to convey the cup body loaded with yogurt to the product assembly unit 10, so that the first station 11 can obtain the cup body; the cover lowering machine 50 is used to place the cup cover on the second conveyor belt 40, and the second conveyor belt 40 is used to convey the cup cover to the product assembly unit 10, so that the second station 12 can obtain the cup cover. In one embodiment, the product assembly device 1 is provided with a cup separation star wheel 80 at the transmission end point of the first conveyor belt 30, and a cover separation star wheel 70 is provided at the transmission end point of the second conveyor belt 40, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The top view of a product assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. The cup body conveyed on the first conveyor belt 30 can be matched with the position of the first station 11 through the cup separation star wheel 80, so that the first station 11 can obtain the cup body; and the cup cover conveyed on the second conveyor belt 40 can be matched with the position of the second station 12 through the cover separation star wheel 70. The rotating assembly 13 drives the first station 11 and the second station 12 to rotate synchronously, so that each first station 11 can obtain the cup body at the cup separation star wheel 80 and each second station 12 can obtain the cup cover at the cover separation star wheel 70. In addition, the accessory cutting unit 60 is used to cut the straw material to obtain the straw. After the accessory conveying unit 20 obtains the straw from the accessory cutting unit 60, it conveys the straw to the preset position passed by the first station 11, so that the first station 11 can obtain the straw when it obtains the cup body and moves to the preset position. After the first station 11 obtains the straw, the second station 12 located above the first station 11 can perform the cover buckling action, so that the cup cover is buckled on the cup body to complete the assembly of the yogurt product. After the yogurt product is assembled, the yogurt product can be transferred to the product output conveyor belt through the cup star wheel 90.

[0046] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step 101: Acquire a first electronic cam curve and a second electronic cam curve, wherein the first electronic cam curve includes a first relative motion relationship between a rotating component and an accessory conveying unit, and the second electronic cam curve includes a second relative motion relationship between the rotating component and an accessory cutting unit.

[0048] In this embodiment, after the product assembly device is started, it is first necessary to initialize each unit to restore the position of each unit to the initial position to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent synchronous control of each unit. The action of initializing the product assembly device can be performed autonomously after the product assembly device is started, or it can be performed under the control of the user after the product assembly device is started. Exemplarily, the product assembly device also provides an initialization button for the user to operate. After the user triggers the initialization button, the product assembly device can perform initialization.

[0049] After the product assembly equipment is initialized, before executing the production process, it is necessary to obtain the first electronic cam curve and the second electronic cam curve. The electronic cam curve is a position relationship curve between the main shaft and the slave shaft, which is usually expressed in a two-dimensional coordinate system, where the main shaft position is the X-axis and the slave shaft position is the Y-axis. In the mechanical cam system, the contour shape of the cam determines the motion law of the follower, while in the electronic cam system, the motion of the mechanical cam is simulated by the constructed cam curve. The electronic cam system inputs the electronic cam curve into the drive device and performs servo control in a calculated manner, thereby achieving the same motion purpose as the mechanical cam system. In this embodiment, the main shaft of the first electronic cam curve is the rotating component of the product assembly unit, the slave shaft is the accessory cutting unit, and the first electronic cam curve includes the first relative motion relationship between the rotating component and the accessory conveying unit. The main shaft of the second electronic cam curve is the rotating component of the product assembly unit, the slave shaft is the accessory conveying unit, and the second electronic cam curve includes the second relative motion relationship between the rotating component and the accessory cutting unit. In addition, when constructing an electronic cam curve, it is necessary to determine the cam key points, where the cam key points refer to the points that are pre-set on the cam profile and have a key impact on the movement of the mechanism. These cam key points usually include the starting point, end point, acceleration point, deceleration point, and position control point.

[0050] Step 102, control the action of the product assembly unit, and control the actions of the accessory conveying unit and the accessory cutting unit according to the first electronic cam curve and the second electronic cam curve respectively, so that the first station obtains the cup body at the first position, and after the second station obtains the cup cover at the second position, when the first station continues to move to the preset position, the accessory conveying unit transfers the accessory to the preset position so that the first station obtains the accessory, and when the second station continues to move from the preset position to the third position, performs the cover fastening action, and the accessory is obtained by the accessory cutting unit cutting the accessory material during the process of the first station moving from the first position to the preset position.

[0051] After determining the first cam curve and the second cam curve, the product assembly equipment can execute the production process. The product assembly equipment controls the action of the product assembly unit, and the rotating component in the action of the product assembly unit starts to drive the first station and the second station to rotate. At the same time, the product assembly component controls the action of the accessory conveying unit and the accessory cutting unit according to the first electronic cam curve and the second electronic cam curve respectively.

[0052] Specifically, after the first station and the second station start to rotate synchronously from the initial position, the cup body is obtained when the first station moves to the first position, for example, the first position is the position of the above-mentioned cup separation star wheel; and the cup cover is obtained when the second station moves to the second position, for example, the second position is the position of the above-mentioned cover separation star wheel. After that, the first station continues to move from the first position to the preset position. During the process of the first station moving from the first position to the preset position, the product assembly equipment needs to control the accessory cutting unit to cut the component material to obtain the accessory, and control the accessory conveying unit to obtain the accessory from the accessory acquisition cutting unit. When the first station moves to the preset position, the accessory conveying unit is controlled to convey the accessory to the preset position at the same time, so that the first station can obtain the accessory at the preset position. After obtaining the accessory, the first station will continue to move from the preset position to the third position. When the second station corresponding to the first station moves to the third position, the product assembly equipment needs to control the second station to perform the cover buckling action, so as to buckle the cup cover on the cup body, realize the assembly of the cup body, the accessory and the cup cover, and complete the production of the product. During the production process of the product, the product assembly unit, the parts cutting unit and the parts conveying unit are synchronized through electronic cam curves. In high-speed production, precise coordination between the various mechanisms can still be guaranteed to meet the high-speed production requirements of the production line.

[0053] As described above, the embodiment of the present application provides an equipment control method. By introducing an electronic cam curve, the embodiment of the present application can accurately control the product assembly unit, the accessory cutting unit and the accessory conveying unit in the product assembly equipment, improve the coordination between the various units, and accurately implement the processes of placing accessories and fastening covers during the production process. At the same time, the accuracy of fastening covers is improved, the product qualification rate and product production efficiency are improved, and the technical problem of low product production efficiency of product assembly equipment in the prior art is solved.

[0054] On the basis of the above embodiment, in the process of controlling the action of the product assembly unit and controlling the actions of the accessory cutting unit and the accessory conveying unit according to the first electronic cam curve and the second electronic cam curve respectively, the process further includes:

[0055] Step 103 , detecting in real time the first movement position of the rotating assembly, the second movement position of the accessory conveying unit, and the third movement position of the accessory cutting unit.

[0056] In this embodiment, the product assembly equipment needs to detect the movement position of each unit in real time during the process of controlling the operation of the product assembly unit, the accessory cutting unit, and the accessory conveying unit, and adjust the movement position of each unit according to the electronic cam curve to ensure the synchronous operation between the units. Specifically, the product assembly equipment needs to detect the first movement position of the rotating component, the second movement position of the accessory conveying unit, and the third movement position of the accessory cutting unit in real time. The first movement position can be determined by obtaining the encoding signal of the servo motor that drives the rotating component to rotate, and the second movement position and the third movement position are obtained in the same way.

[0057] Step 104: Adjust the real-time movement position of the accessory conveying unit according to the first movement position, the second movement position and the first relative movement relationship.

[0058] After the first motion position and the second motion position are detected in real time, the real-time motion position of the accessory delivery unit needs to be further adjusted according to the first motion position, the second motion position and the first relative motion relationship. For example, the ideal motion position of the accessory delivery unit can be determined according to the first motion position and the first relative motion relationship, and the real-time motion position of the accessory delivery unit can be adjusted according to the deviation between the second motion position and the ideal motion position.

[0059] On the basis of the above embodiment, in step 104, the real-time motion position of the accessory conveying unit is adjusted according to the first motion position, the second motion position and the first relative motion relationship, including:

[0060] Step 1041: Determine an ideal motion position corresponding to the accessory conveying unit according to the first motion position and the first relative motion relationship.

[0061] In this embodiment, it is first necessary to determine the ideal movement position that the accessory conveying unit ideally needs to reach when the rotating assembly moves to the first movement position based on the first movement position and the first relative movement relationship.

[0062] Step 1042: Determine whether a position adjustment condition is met according to the second motion position and the ideal motion position.

[0063] After determining the ideal motion position of the accessory delivery unit, it is necessary to further determine whether the accessory delivery unit meets the position adjustment condition based on the second motion position and the ideal motion position. Exemplarily, whether the position adjustment condition is met can be determined based on the error between the second motion position and the ideal motion position. Specifically, first determine the motion position error between the second motion position and the ideal motion position, determine whether the motion position error exceeds a preset position error threshold, and then determine whether the position adjustment condition is met based on the judgment result of whether the motion position error exceeds the preset position error threshold. In this embodiment, when the motion position error exceeds the position error threshold, it is determined that the position adjustment condition is met. In addition, the position error threshold can be set according to actual needs. If the accuracy requirement in the production process is high, the position error threshold can be set smaller.

[0064] Step 1043: When the position adjustment conditions are met, adjust the real-time movement position of the accessory conveying unit.

[0065] When it is determined that the position adjustment conditions are met, the real-time movement position of the accessory delivery unit needs to be adjusted. Specifically, when adjusting the real-time movement position of the accessory delivery unit, the movement speed of the accessory delivery unit can be adjusted so that the real-time movement position of the accessory delivery unit is synchronized with the ideal movement position. For example, when the second movement position is faster than the ideal movement position on the movement trajectory of the accessory delivery unit, the movement speed of the accessory delivery unit can be reduced, and the normal movement speed can be restored after the second movement position and the ideal movement position are subsequently detected to be synchronized; when the second movement position is slower than the ideal movement position on the movement trajectory of the accessory delivery unit, the movement speed of the accessory delivery unit can be increased, and the normal movement speed can be restored after the second movement position and the ideal movement position are subsequently detected to be synchronized.

[0066] Step 105: Adjust the real-time motion position of the accessory cutting unit according to the first motion position, the third motion position and the second relative motion relationship.

[0067] Similarly, when adjusting the real-time motion position of the accessory conveying unit, it is also necessary to adjust the real-time motion position of the accessory cutting unit according to the first motion position, the third motion position and the second relative motion relationship. The principle of adjusting the real-time motion position of the accessory cutting unit is similar to the principle of adjusting the real-time motion position of the accessory conveying unit, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0068] As described above, the embodiment of the present application detects the first movement position of the rotating component, the second movement position of the accessory conveying unit, and the third movement position of the accessory cutting unit in real time, and determines the ideal movement positions that the accessory conveying unit and the accessory cutting unit need to reach respectively according to the first movement position and the relative movement relationship in the electronic cam curve, and finally adjusts the movement position of the accessory conveying unit according to the second movement position and the ideal movement position of the accessory conveying unit, and adjusts the movement position of the accessory cutting unit according to the third movement position and the ideal movement position of the accessory cutting unit to ensure synchronous operation between the various units. The embodiment of the present application further improves the accuracy of coordination between the various units by compensating for the real-time movement position of the various units of the product assembly equipment, which helps to improve the qualified rate of the product.

[0069] The present application also provides another device control method, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The flowchart of another device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is a specific embodiment of the device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the product assembly device also includes a first conveying component, which is used to convey the cup body to the first position. A first sensor is also provided at the first position. The first sensor is used to detect whether there is a cup body on the first conveying component and output a corresponding detection signal. Exemplarily, the first conveying component is Figure 2 In the first conveyor belt shown, the first sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, which includes a transmitter and a receiver. When there is no cup body on the first conveyor belt, the light beam emitted by the transmitter can directly irradiate the receiver, and the receiver receives the light signal and converts it into an electrical signal. After the detection circuit processes the electrical signal, it outputs a first detection signal indicating that there is no product on the first conveyor belt. When there is a cup body on the conveyor belt, the product will block the light beam emitted by the transmitter, causing the receiver to be unable to receive the light signal or the received light signal to be weakened. At this time, the electrical signal converted by the receiver will change, and after the detection circuit recognizes and processes the change, it outputs a second detection signal indicating that there is a product on the first conveyor belt. In addition, since there will be a certain gap between two adjacent cup bodies on the conveyor belt, in order to avoid false detection, it can be determined that there is no cup body on the first conveyor belt after the photoelectric sensor continuously outputs the first detection signal for a preset time.

[0070] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0071] Step 201 : obtaining a first electronic cam curve and a second electronic cam curve, wherein the first electronic cam curve includes a first relative motion relationship between a rotating component and an accessory conveying unit, and the second electronic cam curve includes a second relative motion relationship between the rotating component and an accessory cutting unit.

[0072] Step 202, control the action of the product assembly unit, and control the actions of the accessory conveying unit and the accessory cutting unit according to the first electronic cam curve and the second electronic cam curve respectively, so that the first station obtains the cup body at the first position, and after the second station obtains the cup cover at the second position, when the first station continues to move to the preset position, the accessory conveying unit transfers the accessory to the preset position so that the first station obtains the accessory, and when the second station continues to move from the preset position to the third position, performs the cover fastening action, and the accessory is obtained by the accessory cutting unit cutting the accessory material during the process of the first station moving from the first position to the preset position.

[0073] Step 203: when it is determined through the detection signal that there is no cup body on the first conveying assembly, determine the current target movement position of the last target first station that acquired the cup body.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the product assembly equipment determines that there is no cup body on the first conveying component through the detection signal output by the first sensor, it is necessary to determine the current target motion position of the last target first station that obtained the cup body. Exemplarily, the product assembly equipment can determine the first time when the existence of the cup body on the first conveying component was last detected, and determine the first station located at the first position at the first time as the last target first station that obtained the cup body. Afterwards, the time difference between the first time and the current time is determined, and the current target motion position of the target first station can be determined based on the time difference and the movement speed of the rotating component. In another embodiment, it is also possible to detect whether there is a cup body on the first station by setting a pressure sensor at the bottom of the first station to determine the last target first station that obtained the cup body.

[0075] Step 204: Determine the target angle that the rotating component needs to rotate according to the target motion position and the preset position.

[0076] After determining the current target motion position of the target first station, the target angle that the rotating component needs to rotate can be determined based on the position difference between the target motion position and the preset position. Exemplarily, the target angle that the rotating component needs to rotate can be determined based on the first angle that the rotating component needs to rotate when it rotates from the position corresponding to the 0° angle to the target motion position, and the second angle that the rotating component needs to rotate when it rotates from the position corresponding to the 0° angle to the preset position, and the difference between the first angle and the second angle. When the rotating component continues to rotate the target angle from the current angle, the target first station can be moved to the preset position.

[0077] Step 205 , control the rotating assembly to rotate to a target angle, so that after the target first station obtains the accessory at a preset position, control the accessory cutting unit and the accessory conveying unit to stop the action.

[0078] After the target angle is determined, the rotating assembly can be controlled to continue to rotate the target angle, so that the target first station continues to move from the target motion position to the preset position. In one embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a servo motor, a reducer, and a rotating shaft, the servo motor is used to drive the reducer to rotate, the reducer is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft is used to drive the first station and the second station to rotate synchronously. Controlling the rotating assembly to rotate the target angle in step 205 includes:

[0079] Step 2051, determining the target number of revolutions that the reducer needs to rotate according to the target angle and the preset angle, wherein the preset angle is the angle that the rotating shaft rotates when the reducer rotates one revolution.

[0080] In this embodiment, when controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft, it is necessary to first determine the preset angle that the reducer drives the rotating shaft to rotate when the servo motor drives the reducer to rotate one circle. After determining the preset angle, the target number of circles that the reducer needs to rotate is determined based on the target angle and the preset angle. In one embodiment, the target angle can be divided by the preset angle to obtain the target number of circles that the reducer needs to rotate.

[0081] Step 2052: Control the servo motor to drive the reducer to rotate a target number of revolutions.

[0082] After determining the target number of revolutions that the reducer needs to rotate, the servo motor can be controlled to drive the reducer to rotate the target number of revolutions so that the rotating shaft can rotate the target angle.

[0083] When the rotating shaft rotates to the target angle, the target first station moves to the preset position, and the accessory conveying unit just transfers the accessory to the preset position, so that the target first station can obtain the accessory. Afterwards, since the first station subsequent to the target first station does not obtain the cup body, the product assembly equipment needs to control the accessory cutting unit and the accessory conveying unit to stop the action to avoid continuing to convey the accessory to the subsequent first station.
