[0002] In the prior art, the stacking link in glass plate production is a key step to ensure product quality and production efficiency. In order to realize accurate stacking of glass plates, the traditional method is to use a mechanical alignment mechanism to position the two side edges of the glass plate during roller conveying. Although this mechanical alignment method can ensure the accuracy of stacking, it also has some significant drawbacks:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0042] The robotic arm stacking and gripping device described in this embodiment is used to achieve rapid and precise stacking of glass plates on a glass plate roller conveyor, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it mainly includes a glass plate posture detection device 100, a robotic arm, a suction cup holder 200, a vacuum system, and a control system. The control system is typically an industrial-grade PLC controller, used to receive posture information provided by the glass plate posture detection device 100 and control the movements of the robotic arm and the vacuum system, so that the robotic arm moves synchronously according to the posture information and grasps the glass plate.
[0043] A glass plate attitude detection device 100 is used to non-contactly detect the attitude information of a glass plate to be grasped on a roller conveyor. The attitude information includes the tilt angle of the glass plate relative to the roller conveyor, the position of the apex of the glass plate near the left side of the roller conveyor, and the center position of its edge. Specifically, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the glass plate attitude detection device 100 includes: a gantry frame 10 spanning above the roller conveyor; at least three line scan cameras 20, which are installed in camera housings 30 fixed to the gantry; and an image processing unit connected to the control system via a communication bus to process the images acquired by the line scan cameras 20 and calculate the tilt angle of the glass plate, the vertex position of the glass plate near the left side of the roller conveyor, and the center position of its edge. This attitude information provides the basis for the subsequent precise grasping by the robotic arm. In this embodiment, the image processing unit can use existing mature technologies to process the images acquired by the line scan cameras 20 and calculate the attitude information of the glass plate, which will not be elaborated here.
[0044] A robotic arm, movably positioned, receives attitude information provided by the glass plate attitude detection device 100 and performs synchronized movement based on the attitude information to grasp the glass plate. In this embodiment, the robotic arm adopts a multi-axis linkage structure, and its motion trajectory can be flexibly adjusted according to the instructions of the control system to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of grasping.
[0045] A suction cup holder 200 is detachably mounted on the robotic arm for adsorbing the glass plate. In this embodiment, the suction cup holder 200 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy to reduce the load on the robotic arm. Multiple vacuum suction cups are mounted on the suction cup holder 200 to ensure stable adsorption of the glass plate. Furthermore, the suction cup holder 200 can selectively control the opening and closing of the suction cup group according to the size of the glass plate being gripped. For example, when gripping a smaller glass plate, some vacuum suction cups at predetermined positions can be closed to reduce air source consumption while maintaining sufficient gripping suction.
[0046] A vacuum system, connected to the suction cup holder 200, is used to provide vacuum suction force to the suction cup holder 200;
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vacuum system includes a vacuum storage tank 60 connected to an external vacuum source. The vacuum storage tank 60 is mounted on the suction cup frame 200 and connected to each vacuum suction cup on the suction cup frame 200 via vacuum tubing. The additional vacuum storage tank 60 effectively shortens the vacuum build-up time, thereby enabling reliable and rapid gripping of the glass plate.
[0048] In specific implementation, when the control system receives the posture information detected by the glass plate posture detection device 100, it controls the robot arm to move from the initial position to the pre-grabbing point. When the robot arm moves to the pre-grabbing point, it adjusts the gripping posture of the suction cup frame 200 according to the posture information provided by the glass plate posture detection device 100. The movement speed and position of the robot arm are adjusted in real time through a PID algorithm to make the suction cup frame 200 move synchronously with the glass plate. A photoelectric switch is also included, which is installed on the roller conveyor and located before the detection area of the glass plate posture detection device 100. This switch is used to detect the arrival of the glass plate on the roller conveyor and trigger the glass plate posture detection device 100 to start detection.
[0049] Specifically, the specific steps of the PID algorithm include:
[0050] The output signal is set to the control signal U[t] for the robot's movement speed;
[0051] The sampling time is set to t, and the sampling interval is less than or equal to 10ms.
[0052] Set the proportional coefficient to K, the integral coefficient to I, the derivative coefficient to D, the glass plate's moving speed to Vg, and the robot's actual moving speed to Vr;
[0053] Let the error be e[t], where e[t] = Vg(t) - Vr(t);
[0054] The control signal U[t] is calculated using the formula: U[t] = K*e[t] + I*Σe(j) + D*(e[t] - e[t-1]), where Σe(j) is the accumulated error value, and the value of j ranges from 0 to t;
[0055] Based on the control signal U[t], the movement speed of the robotic arm is controlled to reach the same set value as the speed of the glass plate. Thus, during operation, the values of PID parameters K, I, and D can be adjusted in real time according to the actual movement state and speed deviation of the robotic arm. For example, if the robotic arm's speed response is slow, the value of K can be increased; if the robotic arm's speed oscillates, the value of D can be adjusted appropriately; if the steady-state error is large, the value of I can be adjusted appropriately. In other words, by comparing the actual speed of the robotic arm and the movement speed of the glass plate in real time, and dynamically adjusting the control signal according to the magnitude, accumulation, and trend of the error, the movement speed of the robotic arm can be precisely controlled, ensuring that it remains synchronized with the glass plate. This dynamic adjustment strategy not only achieves synchronized movement between the robotic arm and the glass plate but also ensures the smoothness and reliability of the following process, providing precise position and speed for the grasping action.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera housing 30 has a sealed inner cavity, and a transparent protective glass 31 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity. The line scan camera 20 is installed in the inner cavity and detects the glass plate on the roller conveyor through the transparent protective glass 31. The sealed inner cavity design of the camera housing 30 can effectively prevent external contaminants such as dust, moisture, and oil from entering, thereby protecting the delicate line scan camera 20 and its electronic components from damage.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera housing 30 is equipped with an adjustable support structure 40 for mounting the line scan camera 20. The support structure 40 includes at least one adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the line scan camera 20. By providing an adjustable support structure 40 within the camera housing 30, the mounting position and angle of the line scan camera 20 can be adjusted. This allows the camera position to be adjusted according to actual conditions during equipment installation and commissioning to obtain the optimal field of view and image quality, ensuring that the image captured by the camera accurately covers the entire roller conveyor and meets different production needs.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the support structure 40 includes a first substrate 41 and a second substrate 42 disposed opposite to the first substrate 41. The first substrate 41 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the camera housing 30, serving as the reference for the entire support structure. The line scan camera 20 is detachably mounted on the side of the second substrate 42 away from the first substrate 41 via an L-shaped support plate 43. A first limiting block 44, a second limiting block 45, and a support rod 47 are fixedly mounted on the side of the first substrate 41 facing the second substrate 42. A third limiting block 46 is fixedly mounted on the side of the second substrate 42 facing the first substrate 41. One bottom corner of the second substrate 42 is pivotally connected to the other end of the support rod 47, and the other bottom corner is connected to the first support rod 47 via a first hand-tightening screw 48. The first limiting block 44 abuts against the second substrate 42 via a first tension spring 51, so that the third limiting block 46 on the second substrate 42 tends to move toward the first limiting block 44; one corner of the top side of the second substrate 42 abuts against the second limiting block 45 via a second hand-tightening screw 49, and both the corner of the second substrate 42 where the second hand-tightening screw 49 is provided and the other corner of the top side of the second substrate 42 are provided with second tension springs 52 connected to the first substrate 41, so that the second substrate 42 tends to move toward the second limiting block 45; the third limiting block 46 abuts against the first limiting block 44 via a third hand-tightening screw 50, and the axial direction of the third hand-tightening screw 50 is parallel to the axial direction of the first tension spring 51.
[0059] In practical use, the tilt and lateral angles of the line scan camera 20 can be finely adjusted by rotating the first hand-tightened screw 48, the second hand-tightened screw 49, and the third hand-tightened screw 50, according to specific needs. For example, when it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the line scan camera 20, the first hand-tightened screw 48 and the third hand-tightened screw 50 can be rotated, and the angle can be finely adjusted by cooperating with the restoring force of the first tension spring 51 and the second tension spring 52, so that the adjustment can be easily completed. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the camera in the left and right directions, the second hand-tightened screw 49 can be rotated, and the restoring force of the tension spring 52 can be used to finely adjust the position of the camera, which greatly improves the efficiency of adjustment and shortens the equipment debugging time.
[0060] In some embodiments, the image processing unit calculates the pose information of the glass plate using the following steps:
[0061] The images captured by a single line scan camera 20 are combined to form a single complete image. As the glass plate moves on the roller conveyor, the three line scan cameras 20 scan the glass plate respectively, and transmit the image data of each scanned row to the image processing unit. Subsequently, the images captured by multiple line scan cameras 20 are stitched together to form a complete image covering the entire roller conveyor. In the image stitching step, pre-set camera position information is used to ensure the accuracy of the stitched image. For example, the principle of triangulation can be used to calculate the attitude parameters of the glass plate by combining the spatial position of the camera and the pixel position of the straight line on the edge of the glass plate. These attitude parameters are then transmitted to the control system to provide precise data support for the synchronous grasping of the robotic arm.
[0062] The edge of the glass plate is fitted in the complete image of the entire roller conveyor to obtain the straight line of the glass plate edge. Based on the camera position and the straight line of the glass plate edge, the fitting algorithm can filter out noise and interference in the image to obtain a smoother and more accurate straight line of the edge, thereby providing a precise geometric basis for subsequent attitude calculation. Then, the tilt angle of the glass plate relative to the roller conveyor, the position of the vertex of the glass plate near the left side of the roller conveyor, and the position of the edge center are calculated.
[0063] The robotic arm stacking and grasping device provided in this embodiment achieves non-contact rapid positioning by introducing precise glass plate attitude data provided by an upstream glass plate attitude detection device. This completely eliminates the traditional mechanical alignment process, significantly shortening the glass plate positioning time. Simultaneously, the robotic arm of this invention can complete the grasping action instantly during movement. Combined with the rapid vacuum establishment achieved by the optimized vacuum adsorption system, the grasping and stacking time of the glass plates is greatly reduced, thereby significantly improving the overall stacking efficiency. Furthermore, by eliminating the complex mechanical alignment mechanism and reducing the number of vulnerable parts, this invention makes the device structure more compact, effectively reducing not only the manufacturing cost but also the maintenance difficulty and cost.
