Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile manufacturing and maintenance, and more specifically, to an intelligent detection system for the cleanliness of automobile parts. The system is particularly suitable for cleanliness assessment technology based on multi-sensor data acquisition, image processing and intelligent analysis to meet the needs of high-precision and automated industrial detection. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the precision requirements for parts manufacturing and assembly have gradually increased. The cleanliness of parts surfaces has become a key factor affecting product performance and reliability. Currently, traditional cleanliness detection methods mainly rely on manual detection or single sensor equipment, which has the following shortcomings:

[0003] Low detection accuracy: Manual detection is subject to subjective judgment and has difficulty identifying micron-sized particles or slight oil residues. A single sensor device cannot cover the comprehensive analysis of multi-dimensional cleanliness indicators.

[0004] Poor environmental adaptability: Traditional detection methods are sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, resulting in large data errors and making it difficult to meet industrial site needs.

[0005] Lack of intelligent analysis: Existing detection systems fail to effectively combine machine learning and data analysis technologies, and are unable to achieve dynamic optimization of detection data and adaptive updates of models.

[0006] Insufficient efficiency and automation: Traditional testing is mostly done offline, with complex and time-consuming processes, making it difficult to meet the real-time testing requirements of modern production lines.

[0007] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed an intelligent detection system for the cleanliness of automotive parts. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an intelligent detection system for the cleanliness of automobile parts, comprising the following modules:

[0009] (1) Data acquisition module: Through the collaborative work of multiple sensors, multi-dimensional data collection of the cleanliness of automotive parts is achieved, including:

[0010] Infrared spectrum sensor: Utilizes the infrared light penetration and absorption characteristics of specific wavelengths to detect the chemical composition and distribution of residual oil on the surface of automotive parts. By analyzing the spectral signals of different wavelengths, it can identify the type of oil (such as lubricating oil and cleaning fluid residue) and the distribution concentration gradient.

[0011] Micro laser particle analyzer: Based on the principles of laser scattering and absorption, it can perform high-precision detection of particles on the surface of components. It can accurately measure the size, quantity, and density of particles. By analyzing the scattered signal, it can infer the size distribution range of particles. At the same time, it can also filter out background noise signals to effectively avoid false detections.

[0012] Temperature and humidity sensor: used to monitor the temperature and humidity parameters of the detection environment so as to make real-time corrections to environmental variables during the data collection process.

[0013] (2) Image processing and analysis module: Using advanced multi-scale feature extraction algorithms and dirt recognition models, it can achieve high-precision detection and analysis of dirt on the surface of parts. In the multi-scale feature extraction algorithm, image information at different scales is used to comprehensively analyze the dirt characteristics on the surface of parts. Multi-scale feature extraction can adapt to the different sizes and distribution states of dirt particles, especially for the detection of tiny particles (0.01 mm particles), significantly improving the detection accuracy. The algorithm formula is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] Among them, F(x,y) is the weighted composite value of the dirt feature, G i (x,y) is the image feature response value at different scales, ω i is the feature weight, which is obtained through convolutional neural network training optimization. In the dirt recognition model, the features are trained through deep learning of convolutional neural networks to optimize the distribution of feature weights (i.e. ω i ), thereby achieving accurate classification and detection of dirt.

[0016] (3) Cleanliness evaluation module: A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is introduced to assign weights and conduct comprehensive evaluation of multi-dimensional cleanliness indicators to ensure the objectivity and accuracy of the evaluation results. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is to analyze and score a number of key indicators that affect the cleanliness of parts, including particle concentration (using a particle analyzer to detect the number and density of particles on the surface of the parts and evaluate the degree of particle contamination), oil coverage (combined with infrared spectrum sensor data to evaluate the distribution area and coverage ratio of surface oil), and surface smoothness (based on the data of the image processing module, calculate the surface smoothness and identify scratches or irregular surfaces that may affect cleanliness). The comprehensive score is calculated using the following scoring formula:

[0017]

[0018] Among them, S is the comprehensive cleanliness score, R j is the evaluation value of the j-th indicator, P j is the corresponding weight value.

[0019] (4) Automatic calibration module: Using closed-loop control principle, it can dynamically adjust the equipment parameters based on the following four key processes:

[0020] Real-time detection data acquisition: Continuously collect detection data from each sensor, including particulate matter concentration, oil coverage, temperature and humidity, etc., as basic data for subsequent calibration;

[0021] Calculate detection deviation value: By comparing real-time detection data with pre-set standard values or historical reference data, the detection deviation value is calculated to quantify the possible deviation of the sensor;

[0022] Generate a calibration signal based on the deviation value: Generate a calibration signal based on the deviation value to guide the dynamic adjustment of device parameters. The strength and direction of the calibration signal are proportional to the deviation value, ensuring an accurate and efficient calibration process.

[0023] Adjust sensor sensitivity and filter parameters: The calibration signal optimizes the data acquisition process by adjusting the sensor sensitivity and filter parameters, making the detection results closer to the actual situation.

[0024] (5) Database and model training module: Through cluster analysis and neural network training, the detection data is efficiently processed and optimized to improve the system's recognition efficiency for different types of dirt. First, the original data collected during the operation of the system (including particle concentration, oil composition, surface smoothness, etc.) is stored to form a comprehensive data set. Then, the accumulated data is analyzed through a clustering algorithm to classify the dirt types and distribution characteristics on the surface of the parts. Cluster analysis helps to extract common features from the data, reduce redundant information and improve the generalization ability of the model. Finally, based on neural network technology, the accumulated data is used to train the dirt recognition model. The training goal of the neural network is to minimize the error between the model prediction value and the actual value by optimizing the loss function L(θ). The model formula is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] Among them, L(θ) is the model loss function, N is the number of data samples, and y i is the actual label of the sample, p(y i |θ) is the sample prediction probability.

[0027] (6) Report generation and feedback module: quickly outputs test results and provides users with data visualization, cleanliness assessment reports, optimization suggestions and archive management functions. After the test is completed, the module quickly processes the data and generates reports, including test data visualization (displaying information such as particle concentration, oil coverage and surface smoothness in the form of bar charts, line charts, etc., to make the test results clear), cleanliness assessment reports (based on the cleanliness model calculation results, providing comprehensive scores and detailed evaluations of various indicators), optimization suggestions (based on the test results, providing cleaning optimization suggestions, recommending appropriate cleaning methods or equipment adjustment parameters), operation log records (detailed records of the test process, including test time, equipment parameters and operation records, for user reference), and can generate PDF documents for easy storage and sharing. At the same time, the module sends the report to the user through remote communication means, supporting instant notification (SMS, email or App push) and cloud sharing modes.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] High-precision cleanliness testing: The infrared spectrum sensor and micro-laser particle analyzer in the data acquisition module enable precise detection of oil stains and particulate matter on the surface of components. Temperature and humidity sensors are used to correct for environmental influences, ensuring the accuracy and stability of test results.

[0030] Multi-dimensional cleanliness assessment: A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to assign weights to particle concentration, oil coverage, and surface smoothness, and a cleanliness assessment model is used to comprehensively calculate the cleanliness score, providing users with scientific and intuitive cleanliness status assessment results.

[0031] Intelligent data processing and optimization: The image processing and analysis module uses a multi-scale feature extraction algorithm to accurately identify tiny particles (0.01 mm level); the database and model training module optimizes the model based on a neural network to continuously improve the system's recognition efficiency for different types of dirt.

[0032] Real-time feedback and remote management: The report generation and feedback module can quickly generate visual charts and cleanliness assessment reports, send test results in real time through the remote communication module, and support PDF document generation and archiving management, greatly improving information transmission and management efficiency.

[0033] Dynamic adjustment and adaptive calibration: The automatic calibration module is based on the closed-loop control principle, dynamically adjusts sensor sensitivity and filter parameters, and corrects the operating status of the detection equipment in real time to ensure that the detection results are consistent with the actual situation, thereby improving the system's adaptability.

[0034] Full-process closed-loop management: The system integrates detection, analysis, evaluation, calibration, feedback and other functions to form an efficient closed-loop cleanliness management model that can cover the entire process from data collection to result feedback, reducing the need for manual intervention while improving detection efficiency and consistency.
