Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communications combine the excellent conductivity of copper with the lightweight properties of aluminum. These cables are designed to optimize cost-effectiveness while maintaining excellent electrical performance. Copper-clad aluminum alloy cables can be laid aboveground or underground. Coastal cities use copper-clad aluminum alloy cables aboveground to reduce installation costs and facilitate inspection, maintenance, and upgrades. Due to the presence of salt in the marine environment, sea breezes carry salt mist containing chloride ions, and the air in coastal areas contains corrosive gases. To enhance the corrosion resistance of the cables, improve their mechanical strength, and reduce their DC resistance, thereby minimizing energy loss during transmission, coastal cities choose to lay larger diameter cables. Larger diameter cables also have thicker protective layers. To evaluate the corrosion resistance of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables and verify their electrical performance, corrosion resistance testing is required after production to prevent substandard products from entering the market.

[0003] Conventional testing of the corrosion resistance of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for telecommunications uses a method that first uses positioning assemblies to secure both ends of the cable under test and maintain a straight position. A corrosive liquid is then sprayed onto the cable to simulate acid rain or polluted rainwater. To further simulate the effects of acid rain or polluted rainwater with high concentrations of solid particles on the cable and the resulting additional physical wear, particulate impurities such as sand are added to the corrosive liquid. During this process, visual recognition equipment is used to continuously monitor the corrosion status and progression on the cable surface to improve detection accuracy.

[0004] However, due to the presence of particulate impurities in corrosive liquids, when visual recognition instruments are used to continuously detect the corrosion condition of the cable surface, the particulate impurities will form a layer of covering on the cable surface, which will obscure or mask 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

[0005] The present invention provides a production inspection robot and inspection method for copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communications, and aims to solve the following problem: the existing production inspection robot for copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communications simulates the actual use conditions of the cables to perform corrosion resistance testing. Due to the presence of particulate impurities in the corrosive liquid, when the corrosion condition of the cable surface is continuously detected by a visual recognition instrument, the particulate impurities will form a layer of covering on the cable surface, which will block or conceal the actual corrosion condition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out 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. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0037] 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 properties of aluminum to achieve cost-effectiveness optimization. This material combination not only reduces the weight and cost of the cable, but also facilitates transportation and installation, making it 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 prevent unqualified products from entering the market, corrosion resistance testing is required. For details, please refer to the attached manual. Figures 1 to 8 A detection robot for the production of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communications includes a detection box 1. Positioning mechanisms 2 are provided on both sides of the detection box 1. 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. A discharge pipe 111 is provided in the detection box 1. The discharge pipe 111 is used to continuously spray a reagent toward the cable workpiece 6.

[0038] A driving robot 5 is provided in the detection box 1, and a visual recognition instrument 3 is provided 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 set 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 provided 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, isolating the discharge pipe 111 from spraying the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6.

[0039] It should be noted that the cable workpiece 6 is a copper-clad aluminum alloy cable for communication. The reagents used need to simulate rainwater on rainy days, corrosive substances contained in the air and rainwater of coastal cities. Therefore, the reagents include but are 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 high concentration of solid particles on the cable and the additional physical wear caused by it, some particulate impurities will be added to the reagents. A simulation experiment is carried out using a mixture of acidic reagents and particulate impurities, and the reagents are continuously sprayed towards the cable workpiece 6 to simulate the use environment of the cable workpiece 6 in the rainy season in coastal cities, simulate the extreme working conditions of the cable workpiece 6, and continuously detect the corrosion condition 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. The high-definition industrial camera can provide high-resolution images and can capture subtle 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 existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It should also be noted that through holes are provided on both sides of the detection box 1, allowing the cable workpiece 6 to pass 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 straight state in the detection box 1. Of course, the positioning mechanism 2 can also be set inside the detection box 1 to position the cable workpiece 6 by 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, thereby simultaneously detecting the electrical performance parameters of the cable workpiece 6, such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. The detection of the electrical performance of the cable workpiece 6 is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] 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 out of the discharge pipe 111. A light source module is fixedly installed in the detection box 1. 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 adheres to the surface of the cable workpiece 6, stop spraying the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6. After the reagent is dry, start the light source module again 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.

[0042] 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 determined 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 acquisition end of the visual recognition instrument 3 being unable to accurately capture the true condition of the surface of the cable workpiece 6. Therefore, before the acquisition end of the visual recognition instrument 3 collects the corrosion condition of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle 41 is driven to move vertically downward. When the perforated baffle 41 is in contact with the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the holes opened on the perforated baffle 41 can filter the particulate impurities in the reagent sprayed from the discharge pipe 111, and 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.

[0043] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 6In order to facilitate the driving of 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.

[0044] It should be noted that the linear drive 42 is configured as a cylinder, and the output end of the cylinder is fixed to the perforated baffle 41.

[0045] 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.

[0046] Refer to the instruction manual Figures 6 to 9 By setting a perforated baffle 41, when the corrosion resistance of the surface of the cable workpiece 6 is continuously tested, the perforated baffle 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 41, and the perforated baffle 41 is adapted to the cover plate 43. A linear driver 2 47 is fixedly provided on the perforated baffle 41, and the output end of the linear driver 2 47 is fixedly provided with the cover plate 43. An air pump 2 44 is fixedly provided on the perforated baffle 41, and the output end of the air pump 2 44 is used to spray gas to dry the surface of the cable workpiece 6.

[0047] It should be noted that the linear actuator 2 47 is configured as a cylinder, the output end of which is fixed to 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 fixed on the perforated shielding plate 41, and the cover plate 43 is slidably configured with the guide rail.

[0048] 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, it first drives the perforated shielding plate 41 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 has flushed away the granular impurities, only the liquid reagent remains on the upper surface of the cable workpiece 6. Then the linear drive 2 47 is started, and the mobile drive cover 43 at the output end of the linear drive 2 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 2 44 is started, and the output end of the air pump 2 44 is set toward the cable workpiece 6, and the output end of the air pump 2 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.

[0049] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 9 and Figure 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 holes opened on the perforated shielding plate 41. The staff needs to clean the perforated shielding plate 41 regularly and perform maintenance on the water holes opened on the perforated shielding plate 41. In order to reduce the difficulty of maintenance, the perforated holes of the perforated shielding plate 41 can be automatically cleaned. Dynamic cleaning, specifically, the output end of the air pump 44 is fixedly provided with a flexible tube 441, the bottom end of the flexible tube 441 is fixedly provided with a jet cover 442, the perforated baffle 41 is fixedly provided with a fixed seat 45, the fixed seat 45 is provided with an arc-shaped hole 451, and a slide 46 is slidably provided in the arc-shaped hole 451, the jet cover 442 and the slide 46 are fixedly provided, the cover plate 43 is fixedly provided with a connecting seat, the connecting seat is provided with a rectangular hole, and the slide 46 is fixedly provided with a circular shaft, which is movably provided in the rectangular hole.

[0050] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 10 The line segment connecting the centers of the upper and lower surfaces of the slide 46 is parallel or nearly parallel to the central axis of the jet cover 442. When the slide 46 slides in the arc-shaped 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-shaped hole 451. The arc-shaped hole 451 has a certain curvature, and the curvature of the arc-shaped hole 451 is the curvature and curvature of a circle.

[0051] It should also be noted that when the cover plate 43 is located at the initial position of the perforated shielding plate 41, Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the bottom end of the jet hood 442 is facing the perforated baffle 41. When the visual recognition device 3 is needed to collect image data of the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle 41 is first driven to move vertically downward. When the bottom of the perforated baffle 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated baffle 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 43 to move vertically downward. The cover 43 blocks the water permeable holes opened on the perforated baffle 41. As the cover 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 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, the perforated baffle 41 is first driven to move upward, so that the discharge pipe 111 continues to spray the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, and then the linear driver 2 47 is started to make the output end of the linear driver 2 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 faces the perforated baffle 41. The air pump 2 44 is started, and the gas discharged from the output end of the air pump 2 44 can blow away the particulate impurities stuck in the water permeable holes of the perforated baffle 41, thereby achieving the effect of automatically maintaining the water permeable holes of the perforated baffle 41.

[0052] 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, a reagent recovery pipe 11 and an air blow pipe 12 are specifically provided in the detection box 1. The reagent recovery pipe 11 is located above the air blow 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 blow 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.

[0053] It should be noted that a plurality of nozzles are fixedly provided on the discharge pipe 111, and the liquid inlet end of the water pump 13 extracts the reagent in the detection box 1 through the reagent recovery pipe 11, and the discharge end of the water pump 13 is connected to the discharge pipe 111 to realize the effect of recycling the reagent in the detection box 1. Since the reagent contains particulate impurities, in order to prevent the particulate impurities from forming precipitation in the detection box 1, the air pump 14 is started, and the exhaust end of the air pump 14 introduces gas into the reagent accumulated in the detection box 1, so that the particulate impurities in the reagent in the detection box 1 roll, thereby preventing the particulate impurities from forming precipitation in the detection box 1.

[0054] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate the clamping and positioning of the end of the cable workpiece 6, the positioning mechanism 2 further comprises a support seat 21, on which a rotary driver 22 is fixedly provided, a worm 23 being fixedly provided on the output shaft of the rotary driver 22, a rotating seat 24 being rotatably provided on the support seat 21, a worm gear 25 being fixedly provided on the rotating seat 24, the worm gear 23 being meshed with the worm gear 25, an auxiliary seat 27 being rotatably provided on the support seat 21, and both the rotating seat 24 and the auxiliary seat 27 being rotatably provided with the corresponding clamping seat 26. A rotary driver 28 is fixedly provided on both sides of the detection box 1, the output end of the rotary driver 28 being fixedly provided on the support seat 21, and the output end of the rotary driver 28 being used to drive the support seat 21 to perform circular motion;

[0055] It should be noted that the rotary driver 22 is configured as a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly disposed to the worm 23 .

[0056] It should also be noted that when the rotary driver 22 is activated, the output shaft of the rotary driver 22 drives the worm 23 to rotate, and the worm 23 meshes with the worm gear 25 to drive the worm gear 25 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 25 drives the rotating seat 24 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating seat 24, in conjunction with the rotation of the auxiliary seat 27, causes the two clamping seats 26 to approach each other. The two clamping seats 26 approach each other to achieve the effect of positioning and clamping the cable workpiece 6. When the discharge pipe 111 continues to spray the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, in order to ensure that the reagent can be evenly covered on the cable workpiece 6, the rotary driver 28 is activated, and the output shaft of the rotary driver 28 drives the support seat 1 21 to rotate. The output shaft of the rotary driver 28 is concentrically arranged with the through hole. When the discharge pipe 111 sprays the reagent toward the cable workpiece 6, the clamping seat 26 drives the cable workpiece 6 automatically, so that the cable workpiece 6 can be evenly covered on the cable workpiece 6.

[0057] Refer to the instruction manual Figures 1 to 3 In order to accurately adjust the position between the visual recognition device 3 and the cable workpiece 6 according to the size of the cable workpiece 6, the driving robot 5 specifically includes a second support base 51. A first sliding base 52 is slidably mounted on the second support base 51. A second sliding base 53 is slidably mounted on the first sliding base 52. A mounting base 55 is mounted at the bottom end of the first sliding base 52. The visual recognition device 3 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mounting base 55. A third linear actuator 54 is rotatably mounted on the second sliding base 53. The output end of the third linear actuator 54 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 55. The mounting base 55 is rotatably mounted on the second sliding base 53.

[0058] It should be noted that linear actuator 3 54 is configured as a cylinder, which is rotatably mounted on sliding seat 2 53 . The cylinder's output shaft is fixedly mounted on support seat 2 51 . A motor is fixedly mounted on support seat 2 51 . A pulley 1 is fixedly mounted on the motor's output shaft. A pulley 1 is rotatably mounted on support seat 2 51 . The two pulleys 1 are driven by a common belt 1. The belt 1 is fixedly mounted on sliding seat 1 52 . The rotation of the motor's output shaft drives sliding seat 1 52 to move horizontally. A motor is fixedly mounted on sliding seat 1 52 . A pulley 2 is fixedly mounted on the motor's output shaft. Two pulleys 2 are rotatably mounted on sliding seat 1 52 . The three pulleys 2 are driven by a common belt 2. The rotation of the motor's output shaft drives sliding seat 2 53 to move vertically.

[0059] It should also be noted that when the linear driver 3 54 is started, the mobile driving mounting seat 55 at the output end of the linear driver 3 54 swings, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the swing of the visual recognition device 3.

[0060] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 11 A detection method for a detection robot used in the production of copper-clad aluminum alloy cables for communications, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Place the cable workpiece 6 between the two clamping seats 26 located on the same side, and then drive the two clamping seats 26 to move closer to each other and fix the ends of the cable workpiece 6 by rotating the output end of the rotary driver 22, so that the cable workpiece 6 is arranged along the length direction of the detection box 1;

[0062] Step 2: Start the second rotary driver 28. The output shaft of the second rotary driver 28 drives the cable workpiece 6 to perform circular motion along its central axis. Start the water pump 13 and the air pump 14. The exhaust end of the water pump 13 sprays the reagent on the surface of the cable workpiece 6 through the discharge pipe 111 to simulate continuous rainy weather.

[0063] Step 3: Start the linear actuator 42. The output end of the linear actuator 42 drives the perforated shielding plate 41 to move vertically downward. After the bottom of the perforated shielding plate 41 contacts the surface of the cable workpiece 6, the perforated shielding plate 41 blocks part of the reagent sprayed from the discharge pipe 111 and filters out particulate impurities in the reagent.

[0064] Step 4: The collection end of the visual recognition instrument 3 continuously collects the corrosion condition of the surface of the cable workpiece 6. When the visual recognition instrument 3 completes data collection, the output end of the linear driver 42 moves in the reverse direction to drive the perforated shielding plate 41 to move upward.

[0065] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
