[0043] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a groove 16 is provided on the fixing plate 10 , and a slide plate 17 slidably connected to the groove 16 is provided at the dispensing needle 11 .

[0044] The air-drying component includes: a fixed arc plate 12, a motor 13, a blower fan 14 and a heater 15; the fixed arc plate 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the operating table 2, the motor 13 is installed on the fixed arc plate 12 to drive the blower fan 14, and the heater 15 is installed on the inner side of the fixed arc plate 12.

[0045] The control unit 1 is integrated with a computer control system for centrally controlling the rotation angle of the rotating sleeve 5.2, the working parameters of the laser scanner 7, the dispensing method and dispensing path of the dispensing needle 11, and the working parameters of the blower fan 14 and the heater 15.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for using a corn cob processing auxiliary device integrating glue drying is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1, the control unit adjusts the distance between the telescopic rods, rotates the screw to fix the end of the corn ear between the clamping plates, and covers the cover plate;

[0048] S2. The laser scanner emits a laser pulse light to the surface of the corn ear. The laser pulse light is reflected back and received by the receiver of the laser scanner. The control unit calculates the distance from the laser scanner to the corn ear according to the time difference between the emission and the reflection of the laser pulse light. The calculation formula of the distance from the laser scanner to the corn ear is: Where c is the speed of the laser pulse light; n is the refractive index of the corn ear; t1 is the emission time of the laser pulse light; t2 is the time when the laser pulse light is reflected back and received; ε is the error coefficient; Δt is the time measurement error;

[0049] Furthermore, the laser scanner has multiple laser scanners, and the distance from the laser scanner to the corn ear is obtained by performing multiple scans with multiple laser scanners and taking the average value; therefore, the optimized distance calculation formula is: Where m is the number of laser scanners; ω i is the position coefficient of the laser scanner; d i is the distance from a single laser scanner to the corn ear.

[0050] S3, the control unit transmits the scanned corn ears to the bottom of the telescopic frame, and the control unit adjusts the position of the dispensing needle based on the distance value calculated in step S2, and inputs the dispensing parameters into the control unit to complete the dispensing operation; wherein, the displacement calculation formula for the dispensing needle position control is: Where P0 is the initial position of the dispensing needle; k is the proportional coefficient.

[0051] S4, the control unit transfers the corn cobs that have been glued to the bottom of the fixed arc plate, and starts the blower fan and the heater to dry the surface of the corn cobs. After completion, the screw is rotated in the opposite direction to remove the corn cobs. The calculation formula for the drying time of the glue on the surface of the corn cobs is: Where A is the surface area of ​​the corn ear; η is the drying efficiency, which is the drying time required per unit area per unit power; P f and P hThey are the operating power of the blower fan and heater respectively.

[0052] In one embodiment, the process of scanning the surface of a corn ear with a laser scanner to form three-dimensional shape data information of the corn ear includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: Use a laser scanner to obtain the 3D point cloud data of the corn ear surface, and process the point cloud data, such as denoising and filtering, to improve the data quality. Use a 3D reconstruction algorithm to convert the point cloud data into a 3D model to obtain the 3D shape of the corn ear surface.

[0054] Step 2: Use a camera or other equipment to photograph corn ears to obtain a two-dimensional image, and pre-process the collected two-dimensional image of the corn ear. Use an image processing algorithm to extract features such as edges and contours in the image. Use feature matching, shape recognition and other algorithms to analyze and identify the extracted features, thereby obtaining the two-dimensional shape information of the surface of the corn ear.

[0055] Step 3: Fuse the 3D shape information with the 2D shape information to obtain a more comprehensive description of the surface shape of the corn ear.

[0056] Furthermore, the control unit may be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or may be stored in a memory in the computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute the above operations.

[0057] What needs further explanation here is that the error coefficient ε and the position coefficient ω of the laser scanner i , drying efficiency η and proportionality coefficient k are obtained through multiple calibration experiments. It is verified by experiments that the measured value of the laser scanner is 5% higher on average, so the error coefficient can be set to 0.95 to correct this deviation; a laser scanner is located on the side of the corn ear, and its measured value will be slightly deviated due to the angle problem. Through calibration experiments, a position coefficient is assigned to the laser scanner, such as 0.98, to correct its measured value. It is found through experiments that it takes 3 seconds for each square centimeter of glue to completely dry at a power of 100 watts, so the drying efficiency can be expressed as 0.03 seconds / square centimeter / watt; It is found through experiments that the actual position of the dispensing needle is always 2% lower than the calculated position, so the proportionality coefficient k can be set to 1.02 to correct this deviation.

[0058] When the present invention is used, the corn cob to be processed is placed on the fixed component, and the position of the clamping plate 5.4 is adjusted by rotating the screw rod 5.3 so that it matches with the end of the telescopic rod 5.1 to stably clamp the corn cob. The slide 4 is slidably connected to the guide rail 3, so that the fixed component can move along the guide rail 3 to move the corn cob to different processing positions.

[0059] The cover plate 6 is closed, and the laser scanner 7 starts to work, scanning the corn cob and identifying the arrangement of the corn kernels. The laser scanner 7 transmits the scanned information to the control unit 1, and the computer control system in the control unit 1 processes the received information to determine the position and arrangement of each corn kernel on the corn cob.

[0060] The control unit 1 controls the glue dispensing component to perform glue dispensing according to the arrangement of the corn kernels scanned by the laser scanner 7. The mounting frame 8 slides on the operating table 2 to adjust the position of the glue dispensing needle 11 so that it is aligned with the position on the corn cob where glue dispensing is required. The telescopic frame 9 is extended and retracted to drive the fixed plate 10 and the glue dispensing needle 11 to move to an appropriate height. The glue dispensing needle 11 slides in the groove 16 of the fixed plate 10 and performs glue dispensing according to the preset glue dispensing method and path to ensure that the glue accurately drips on each corn kernel or the designated position.

[0061] After the glue dispensing is completed, the fixed component moves along the guide rail 3 to the position of the air-drying component, the motor 13 drives the blower fan 14 to generate airflow, the heater 15 heats the airflow to turn it into hot air, and the hot air blows toward the corn cob through the fixed arc plate 12 to dry the glue, ensuring that the glue cures quickly and is firmly bonded to the corn cob.

[0062] After drying is completed, the fixed assembly moves again along the guide rail 3 to move the processed corn ears out of the processing area, and the operator takes down the processed corn ears and processes the next batch.

[0063] The entire processing process is centrally controlled by the computer control system in the control unit 1, which ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the processing. Through the close coordination of the steps of scanning and identification, dispensing and drying, efficient and automated processing of corn ears is achieved.

[0064] The above is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention. Through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content in the specification, and the technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
