Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable detection, and more specifically, to a detection robot and a detection method for producing copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communication. Background Art

[0002] Copper clad aluminum alloy cable for communication is a cable that combines the excellent conductivity of copper and the lightweight characteristics of aluminum. This cable is designed to optimize cost-effectiveness while maintaining good electrical performance. Copper clad aluminum alloy cables can be laid on the ground or underground. In order to reduce the laying cost and facilitate the inspection, maintenance and upgrade of the laid cables, the copper clad aluminum alloy cables used in coastal cities choose to lay the cables on the ground. Due to the presence of salt in the marine environment, the sea breeze will carry salt mist containing chloride ions, and the air in coastal areas contains corrosive gases. In order to enhance the corrosion resistance of the cable, improve the mechanical strength of the cable, and reduce the DC resistance of the cable to reduce the loss of energy during transmission, coastal cities choose to lay cables with larger diameters. At the same time, cables with larger diameters will also have thicker protective layers. In order to evaluate the corrosion resistance of copper clad aluminum alloy cables and verify the electrical performance of the cables, corrosion resistance testing is required after the cables are produced to prevent unqualified products from entering the market.

[0003] In the prior art, when testing the corrosion resistance of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communication, first use a positioning assembly to fix both ends of the cable to be tested and keep the cable straight. Then, spray a corrosive liquid toward the cable to simulate an acid rain or polluted rainwater environment. In order to further simulate the impact of acid rain or polluted rainwater with a high concentration of solid particles on the cable and the additional physical wear caused by it, particulate impurities such as sand are added to the corrosive liquid. During this process, a visual recognition instrument is used to continuously monitor the corrosion status and development of the cable surface to improve the detection accuracy.

[0004] However, due to the presence of particulate impurities in corrosive liquids, when the corrosion condition of the cable surface is continuously detected by visual recognition instruments, the particulate impurities will form a covering on the cable surface, which will obscure or cover up the actual corrosion condition. This physical obstruction will make it difficult for the visual recognition instrument to accurately capture the true state of the cable surface, resulting in inaccurate detection results. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0031] Coastal cities choose copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communication laid on the ground instead of pure copper cables, mainly because copper-clad aluminum alloy cables maintain the excellent conductivity of copper while taking advantage of the lightweight characteristics of aluminum to achieve cost-effective optimization. This material combination not only reduces the weight and cost of the cable, but also facilitates transportation and installation, and is particularly suitable for ground laying scenarios that require frequent inspections, maintenance, and upgrades. Faced with the corrosive environment rich in salt and chloride ions in coastal areas, copper-clad aluminum alloy cables with larger diameters provide enhanced corrosion resistance and higher mechanical strength, and the thicker protective layer further enhances its ability to withstand harsh environments. In the production process of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables, in order to avoid unqualified products from entering the market, corrosion resistance testing is required. For details, refer to the attached manual. Figures 1 to 8 A detection robot for the production of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communication, comprising a detection box 1, both sides of the detection box 1 are provided with positioning mechanisms 2, the positioning mechanisms 2 include two clamping seats 26, the two clamping seats 26 clamp a cable workpiece 6 by approaching each other, the cable workpiece 6 is arranged in the detection box 1 along the length direction of the detection box 1, and a discharge pipe 111 is arranged in the detection box 1, and the discharge pipe 111 is used to continuously spray a reagent toward the cable workpiece 6; A driving robot 5 is arranged in the detection box 1, and a visual recognition instrument 3 is arranged on the driving end of the driving robot 5. The driving end of the driving robot 5 is used to drive the visual recognition instrument 3 to move horizontally and vertically. The visual recognition instrument 3 is located above the cable workpiece 6 and the collecting end of the visual recognition instrument 3 is arranged toward the cable workpiece 6. The collecting end of the cable workpiece 6 is used to detect the surface condition of the cable workpiece 6. A shielding mechanism 4 is arranged in the detection box 1. The shielding mechanism 4 includes a perforated shielding plate 41. The perforated shielding plate 41 moves vertically in the detection box 1. The perforated shielding plate 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6 by moving vertically downward, and the isolation discharge pipe 111 sprays the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6.

[0032] It should be noted that the cable workpiece 6 is a copper-clad aluminum alloy cable for communication. The reagent used needs to simulate rainwater on rainy days, corrosive substances contained in the air and rainwater in coastal cities. Therefore, the reagent includes but is not limited to sodium chloride solution, sodium sulfate solution, nitric acid solution, mixed acid solution, etc. At the same time, in order to further simulate the impact of acid rain or polluted rainwater with a higher concentration of solid particles on the cable and the additional physical wear caused by it, some particulate impurities will be added to the reagent, and a mixture of acidic reagents and particulate impurities will be used for simulation experiments, and the reagent is continuously sprayed toward the cable workpiece 6 to simulate the use environment of the cable workpiece 6 in the plum rain season in coastal cities, simulate the extreme working conditions of the cable workpiece 6, and continuously detect the corrosion of the surface of the cable workpiece 6 to ensure that the cable workpiece 6 can be used reliably for a long time. The visual recognition instrument 3 includes but is not limited to being set as a high-definition industrial camera, which can provide high-resolution images and can capture small changes on the cable surface, such as corrosion points or peeling protective layers. They are usually equipped with special lenses and light sources to obtain clear images under various conditions. The high-definition industrial camera collects data on the surface of the workpiece as a mature prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] It should also be noted that through holes are provided on both sides of the detection box 1, so that the cable workpiece 6 passes through the through holes, and the two ends of the cable workpiece 6 are fixed by the clamping seat 26 in the positioning mechanism 2, so that the cable workpiece 6 is arranged along the length direction of the detection box 1, and the cable workpiece 6 is in a straightened state in the detection box 1. Of course, the positioning mechanism 2 can also be arranged inside the detection box 1 to position the cable workpiece 6 through the clamping seat 26. The positioning method in this solution can not only continuously detect the corrosion condition of the surface of the cable workpiece 6, but also energize the two ends of the cable workpiece 6 according to the detection requirements, so as to synchronously detect the electrical performance parameters of the cable workpiece 6 such as resistance, inductance, capacitance, etc. The detection of the electrical performance of the cable workpiece 6 is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Furthermore, after the cable workpiece 6 is straightened and installed in the detection box 1 by the clamping seat 26, the visual recognition instrument 3 is mainly used to identify the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6. After the perforated shielding plate 41 moves vertically downward and contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated shielding plate 41 can form an isolation for the reagent sprayed from the discharge pipe 111. A light source module is fixedly arranged in the detection box 1, and the light source module can emit ultraviolet light beams and infrared light beams toward the cable workpiece 6 to simulate the light exposure to the cable workpiece 6 in the use environment. And according to the use requirements, when the reagent is attached to the surface of the cable workpiece 6, stop spraying the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, wait for the reagent to dry, and then start the light source module to detect the corrosion condition of the surface of the cable workpiece 6. As an optional detection method, this application will not go into details here.

[0035] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: first, the cable workpiece 6 is placed between the two clamping seats 26 on the same side, and the two clamping seats 26 are driven to approach each other to clamp and fix the cable workpiece 6, and then the cable workpiece 6 is arranged so that the cable workpiece 6 is distributed along the length direction of the detection box 1, and the two ends of the cable workpiece 6 are fixed by two groups of clamping seats 26 to ensure that the surface of the cable workpiece 6 is in a clean state, and the visual recognition instrument 3 is driven to move by the driving end of the driving robot 5, so that the visual recognition instrument 3 moves to the top of the cable workpiece 6, and the visual recognition instrument 3 is driven horizontally by the driving end of the driving robot 5. The visual recognition instrument 3 records the surface condition of the cable workpiece 6 as a reference for subsequent corrosion resistance experiments, and then the reagent is continuously sprayed toward the cable workpiece 6 through the discharge pipe 111. The reagent sprayed by the discharge pipe 111 can simulate the precipitation weather in the plum rain season in coastal cities, and the discharge pipe 111 continuously sprays the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, and then the surface of the cable workpiece 6 is collected at a certain time interval through the collection end of the visual recognition instrument 3. The corrosion condition of the surface is detected by the reagent. Since the reagent contains particulate impurities, when the reagent is sprayed on the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the particulate impurities will block the surface of the cable workpiece 6, resulting in the inability of the collection end of the visual recognition instrument 3 to accurately capture the true condition of the surface of the cable workpiece 6. Therefore, before the collection end of the visual recognition instrument 3 collects the corrosion condition of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle plate 41 is driven to move vertically downward. When the perforated baffle plate 41 is in contact with the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the holes opened on the perforated baffle plate 41 can filter the particulate impurities in the reagent sprayed from the discharge pipe 111. The reagent without particulate impurities is continuously sprayed onto the cable workpiece 6, which can rinse the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6, remove the particulate impurities on the surface of the cable workpiece 6, and avoid the particulate impurities from blocking the surface of the cable workpiece 6. In addition, the surface of the cable workpiece 6 continues to contact with the reagent. Without interfering with the detection steps and delaying the detection efficiency, the visual recognition instrument 3 can accurately capture the true state of the surface of the cable workpiece 6, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 6In order to facilitate driving the perforated shielding plate 41 to move vertically in the detection box 1, specifically, the shielding mechanism 4 also includes a linear driver 42, which is fixedly arranged in the detection box 1, the linear driver 42 is located above the cable workpiece 6, and the perforated shielding plate 41 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the linear driver 42.

[0037] It should be noted that the linear drive 42 is configured as a cylinder, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly disposed on the perforated baffle plate 41.

[0038] It should also be noted that when the linear driver 42 is started, the movement of the output end of the linear driver 42 drives the perforated shielding plate 41 to move vertically, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the position of the perforated shielding plate 41.

[0039] Refer to the instruction manual Figures 6 to 9 By setting a perforated baffle plate 41, when the corrosion resistance of the surface of the cable workpiece 6 is continuously tested, the perforated baffle plate 41 can block the particulate impurities in the reagent, but there are still some water droplets on the surface above the cable workpiece 6, and the water droplets will form irregular reflection and refraction points on the surface of the cable workpiece 6, which will interfere with the optical imaging quality of the visual identification instrument 3. Since the refractive index of water is different from that of air, the light will bend when passing through the water droplets, causing the image collected by the cable workpiece 6 to be deformed or blurred, thereby affecting the accuracy of defect identification. In order to solve the above problems, specifically, a cover plate 43 is slidably provided on the perforated baffle plate 41, and the perforated baffle plate 41 is adapted to the cover plate 43. A linear driver 47 is fixedly provided on the perforated baffle plate 41, and the output end of the linear driver 47 is fixedly provided with the cover plate 43. An air pump 44 is fixedly provided on the perforated baffle plate 41, and the output end of the air pump 44 is used to spray gas to dry the surface of the cable workpiece 6.

[0040] It should be noted that the linear drive 2 47 is configured as a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly arranged with the cover plate 43, and the length direction of the cylinder is parallel to the length direction of the perforated shielding plate 41. A guide rail is fixedly arranged on the perforated shielding plate 41, and the cover plate 43 is slidably arranged with the guide rail.

[0041] It should also be noted that when the visual recognition instrument 3 needs to collect an image of the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated shielding plate 41 is first driven to move downward. When the bottom of the perforated shielding plate 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the reagent will continue to flush the granular impurities attached to the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6. After the reagent on the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6 flushes away the granular impurities, only the liquid reagent remains on the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6. Then the linear drive 47 is started, and the mobile drive cover 43 at the output end of the linear drive 47 moves along the length direction of the perforated shielding plate 41. When the cover 43 moves to the stroke At the bottom, the cover plate 43 blocks the water-permeable holes on the perforated baffle plate 41, and the discharge pipe 111 continues to spray the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, but the cover plate 43 will block the water flow, and then the air pump 44 is started, and the output end of the air pump 44 is set toward the cable workpiece 6, and the output end of the air pump 44 discharges gas, which can blow away the liquid on the surface of the cable workpiece 6. When the visual recognition instrument 3 collects image information on the surface of the cable workpiece 6, it can avoid irregular reflection and refraction of liquid water droplets under the refraction of light, thereby ensuring the accuracy of information collected by the visual recognition instrument 3.

[0042] Refer to the instruction manual Fig. 9 and Fig.10 When the perforated shielding plate 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the particle impurities in the reagent are separated by the perforated shielding plate 41. Under the impact of the reagent, some of the particle impurities in the reagent will adhere to the surface of the perforated shielding plate 41, and some of the particle impurities will even be stuck in the water permeable holes opened on the perforated shielding plate 41. The staff needs to clean the permeable holes opened on the perforated shielding plate 41 regularly. In order to reduce the difficulty of maintenance, the permeable holes of the perforated shielding plate 41 are automatically cleaned. Dynamic cleaning, specifically, a flexible tube 441 is fixedly provided at the output end of the air pump 44, a jet hood 442 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the flexible tube 441, a fixed seat 45 is fixedly provided on the perforated baffle plate 41, an arc-shaped hole 451 is opened on the fixed seat 45, a slide seat 46 is slidably arranged in the arc-shaped hole 451, the jet hood 442 and the slide seat 46 are fixedly arranged, a connecting seat is fixedly provided on the cover plate 43, a rectangular hole is opened on the connecting seat, a round shaft is fixedly provided on the slide seat 46, and the round shaft is movably arranged in the rectangular hole.

[0043] It should be noted that, refer to Fig.10 The line segment formed by the center of the upper surface and the lower surface of the slide 46 is parallel or tends to be parallel to the central axis of the jet cover 442. When the slide 46 slides in the arc hole 451, the discharge end of the jet cover 442 can be adjusted in angle according to the movement of the slide 46, that is, the bottom end of the jet cover 442 can be automatically adjusted in angle according to the position of the slide 46 sliding in the arc hole 451. The arc hole 451 has a certain curvature, and the curvature of the arc hole 451 is the curvature and curvature of a circle.

[0044] It should also be noted that when the cover plate 43 is located at the initial position of the perforated shielding plate 41, Fig. 9 As shown, at this time, the bottom end of the jet hood 442 is facing the perforated baffle plate 41. When the visual recognition device 3 is needed to collect image data of the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle plate 41 is first driven to move vertically downward. When the bottom of the perforated baffle plate 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle plate 41 filters the particulate impurities in the reagent, starts the air pump 44, and then the output end of the linear driver 47 drives the cover plate 43 to move vertically downward. The cover plate 43 blocks the water-permeable holes opened on the perforated baffle plate 41. As the cover plate 43 continues to move downward, the circular shaft moves in the rectangular hole of the connecting seat, and the connecting seat adjusts the position of the slide seat 46 in the arc hole 451 through the circular shaft. The bottom end of the jet hood 442 gradually swings and finally faces the cable workpiece 6. After the jet hood 442 faces the cable workpiece 6, it can blow away the water droplets attached to the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6. After the detection is completed, first drive the perforated baffle plate 41 to move upward so that the discharge pipe 111 continues to spray the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, and then start the linear driver 47 to make the output end of the linear driver 47 move in the opposite direction. During the upward movement of the cover plate 43, the slide 46 slides in the arc hole 451. When the arc hole 451 slides, the output end of the jet hood 442 gradually swings and finally moves toward the perforated baffle plate 41. Start the air pump 44, and the gas discharged from the output end of the air pump 44 can blow away the particulate impurities stuck in the water permeable holes of the perforated baffle plate 41, thereby achieving the effect of automatically maintaining the water permeable holes of the perforated baffle plate 41.

[0045] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reagent is sprayed on the cable workpiece 6 through the discharge pipe 111 and then falls into the detection box 1. In order to recycle the reagent, specifically, a reagent recovery pipe 11 and an air blowing pipe 12 are provided in the detection box 1. The reagent recovery pipe 11 is located above the air blowing pipe 12. A water pump 13 and an air pump 14 are fixedly provided on both sides of the detection box 1. The reagent recovery pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet end of the water pump 13, the air blowing pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the air pump 14, and the discharge end of the water pump 13 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 111.
