[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: when the vehicle to be assembled is at the target workstation, the corresponding information of the parts to be installed is determined according to the vehicle identification chip information; the corresponding image of the parts to be installed is collected according to the information of the parts to be installed; visual matching is performed based on the image of the parts to be installed and the information of the parts to be installed to determine the target part matching result; and the corresponding target vehicle assembly result is determined according to the target part matching result.

[0050] In automobile manufacturing, tens of thousands of parts need to be assembled, especially on mixed-flow production lines. There may be slight differences between parts on the same platform and parts on different platforms. If error prevention methods are not added, it is easy to cause parts to be misassembled or missing and cannot be discovered, resulting in the outflow of abnormal parts quality. If these vehicles enter the market, they will cause major safety hazards, and serious vehicle recalls will be involved. At present, domestic OEMs use centralized lighting feeding and subsequent scanning code error prevention mode to prevent parts from being misassembled or missing. In this mode, parts must be barcoded. If parts do not have barcodes, they can only rely on not feeding the wrong parts. If the incoming materials are wrong, the back-end workstation cannot identify them, resulting in wrong parts installation, which poses a greater quality risk. Therefore, how to solve the mismatch, wrong installation, and missing installation of vehicle parts caused by human factors has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0051] This application determines the corresponding information of the parts to be installed according to the vehicle identification chip information when the vehicle to be assembled is in the target workstation; collects the corresponding image of the parts to be installed according to the information of the parts to be installed; performs visual matching based on the image of the parts to be installed and the information of the parts to be installed to determine the target part matching result; and determines the corresponding target vehicle assembly result according to the target part matching result. By identifying the chip information of the vehicle to be assembled, determining the corresponding information of the parts to be installed, and then collecting the image of the parts to be installed for visual matching, and finally determining the vehicle parts assembly result according to the visual matching result, the vehicle parts mismatch, wrong installation, and missing installation caused by human factors are avoided, and the correct parts are ensured to be assembled on the correct vehicle.

[0052] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or a vehicle assembly device capable of realizing the above functions, etc. The following takes the vehicle assembly device as an example of the execution subject, such as an error-proofing system device, to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0053] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle assembly method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic flow chart of a first embodiment of a vehicle assembly method of the present application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the vehicle assembly method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0055] Step S10, when the vehicle to be assembled is at the target workstation, the corresponding information of the parts to be installed is determined according to the vehicle identification chip information;

[0056] It should be noted that the vehicle to be assembled refers to the vehicle waiting for parts assembly, the target station refers to the pre-set station for parts assembly, and the vehicle identification chip information refers to the vehicle AVI chip information, where Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) is an automatic vehicle identification system, mainly used in the fields of automobile manufacturing, logistics, traffic management, etc., to automatically identify and track vehicles. In the automobile manufacturing process, the AVI system uses electronic tags to store and transmit relevant information about the vehicle, and the part information to be installed refers to the part information required for the vehicle to be assembled, including part name, part number, quantity, installation location, etc.

[0057] In a specific implementation, when a vehicle waiting for parts assembly is at a pre-set workstation for parts assembly, the error-proofing system equipment reads the vehicle's AVI chip information, and then obtains the part name, part number, quantity, installation location, etc. required for the vehicle waiting for parts assembly, that is, the information of the parts to be installed.

[0058] In a feasible implementation manner, step S10 may include steps A11 to A13:

[0059] Step A11, determining the corresponding vehicle to be assembled according to the vehicle production queue;

[0060] It can be understood that the vehicle production queue refers to a series of vehicles to be produced that are arranged according to a predetermined production plan and sequence during the automobile manufacturing process.

[0061] In the specific implementation, the MES (Manufacturing Execution System, an information system for managing and optimizing the manufacturing process) system formulates a detailed production plan based on market demand and inventory conditions, including the production quantity and sequence of each model. The production plan is converted into a production queue, and the production tasks of each vehicle are arranged in sequence to ensure the orderly operation of the production line. Then the corresponding vehicle to be assembled is determined based on the vehicle's production queue information.

[0062] Step A12, determining a corresponding vehicle identification code and assembly serial number according to the vehicle to be assembled;

[0063] It can be understood that the vehicle identification code refers to a unique code consisting of 17 characters (Vehicle Identification Number, VIN) used to uniquely identify a car, and the assembly serial number refers to a number used to identify the specific position and production order of the vehicle on the production line.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the identification code of the vehicle to be assembled and the corresponding number used to identify the specific position and production sequence of the vehicle on the production line are determined according to the determined vehicle to be assembled. Through the VIN code and assembly serial number, the production management personnel can accurately track the production progress and quality status of each vehicle to ensure the efficiency and order of the production process.

[0065] Step A13, obtaining vehicle identification chip information according to the vehicle identification code and the assembly serial number.

[0066] It is understood that the vehicle information is written into the AVI chip using a writing device. During the writing process, the device will display the writing progress and status. After the writing is completed, the reading device is used to verify whether the information in the AVI chip is correct. The verification steps include: using the reading device to read the information in the AVI chip, and comparing the read information with the original information in the production management system to ensure consistency. Finally, after verifying that the information is correct, the AVI chip with the written information is installed in the designated location of the vehicle, such as under the dashboard or in the body frame.

[0067] Step S20, collecting corresponding images of the parts to be installed according to the information of the parts to be installed;

[0068] It can be understood that the image of the part to be installed refers to the image of the part corresponding to the vehicle to be assembled.

[0069] In the specific implementation, a high-resolution camera is installed at each workstation to capture images of parts. Then, all parts that need to be imaged are determined based on the information of the parts to be installed, and then the images of the parts to be installed are captured by the installed high-resolution camera, so as to obtain the part images corresponding to the vehicle to be assembled.

[0070] In a feasible implementation manner, step S20 may include steps A21 to A23:

[0071] Step A21, analyzing the vehicle identification chip information to determine the position of the parts to be installed;

[0072] It should be noted that the position of the part to be installed refers to the storage position of the part to be installed.

[0073] In a specific implementation, the AVI chip information of the vehicle is parsed and processed to determine the storage positions of all parts that need to be installed on the material rack, that is, the storage positions of the parts to be installed.

[0074] Step A22, generating corresponding part lighting control instructions according to the position of the part to be installed and the information of the part to be installed;

[0075] It can be understood that the part lighting control instruction refers to the instruction for controlling the corresponding prompt wind of the part to light up.

[0076] In a specific implementation, an instruction to light up the indicator light (LED, etc.) of the control part is generated according to the storage location of the part to be installed and the part name, part number and quantity, that is, the part light control instruction.

[0077] Step A23, controlling the lighting according to the part lighting instruction, and displaying the information of the part to be installed through the operating display screen.

[0078] In the specific implementation, the error-proofing system generates control instructions based on material requirements and sends them to the controller. After receiving the instructions, the controller lights up the LED lights of the corresponding materials, and displays the material information and operation instructions required for assembly of the current vehicle on the display screen of the workstation to remind the operator to take the corresponding materials according to the lit LED lights.

[0079] Step S30, performing visual matching based on the image of the part to be installed and the information of the part to be installed to determine a target part matching result;

[0080] It can be understood that the target part matching result refers to the result of whether the part to be installed is matched successfully.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the information of the part to be installed includes pre-stored reference images of the part at multiple angles, and then the collected image of the part to be installed is visually matched with the reference image in the information of the part to be installed, that is, the key feature points in the image are extracted using a feature point detection algorithm (such as SIFT, SURF, ORB, etc.), which usually include the contour, edge, corner point, etc. of the part, and then the feature matching algorithm (such as FLANN, BFMatcher, etc.) is used to match the captured image feature points with the feature points in the standard model. Finally, the result of whether the part to be installed is successfully matched is determined, that is, the target part matching result.

[0082] Step S40, determining the corresponding target vehicle assembly result according to the target part matching result.

[0083] It can be understood that the target vehicle assembly result refers to the result of whether the vehicle parts are assembled incorrectly.

[0084] In a specific implementation, when the target part matching result is a part matching error, it indicates that there is a part failure, and then the vehicle assembly result is determined to be an assembly failure result; when the target part matching result is a part matching success, it indicates that the vehicle parts can be assembled, and when the assembly is completed, the image of the assembled parts is collected, and visual matching is performed again, and finally the corresponding vehicle assembly result is determined.

[0085] In a feasible implementation manner, step S40 may include step A41:

[0086] Step A41, when the target vehicle assembly result is a successful vehicle assembly result, executing the step of determining corresponding to-be-installed parts information according to the vehicle identification chip information when the to-be-assembled vehicle is at the target workstation.

[0087] In a specific implementation, when the target vehicle assembly result is a successful vehicle assembly result, it indicates that the current vehicle assembly is completed and the parts are assembled correctly, and then the AVI chip information of the next vehicle to be assembled at a pre-set workstation for parts assembly is identified to perform the vehicle parts assembly operation.

[0088] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the VIN codes of different models are input into the error prevention system, and the information of the parts that need to be assembled (parts number, parts 3D model, etc.) of the model is entered into the system. MES sends the production queue, and the production vehicle enters the final assembly site, and the vehicle information (serial number, VIN, etc.) will be entered into the AVI chip. When the vehicle enters the designated workstation, the error prevention system equipment reads the AVI chip information, and the information of the parts that need to be installed at the post will be displayed on the OD (Operation Display) screen. At the same time, the line side is equipped with a lighted material rack, and the equipment reads the 22-bit code in the chip to light up the material. Before the employee takes the material, the visual system will visually match and compare the parts to be assembled. When it is confirmed that it is consistent with the entered part status, the screen will show that the match is successful, the employee takes the part and presses the light, the indicator light goes out, the employee takes the part and installs it on the body, and when the parts are assembled in place, the visual system will take a photo of the parts assembled on the body again for matching verification to prevent employees from wrong installation or missing installation. If there is a problem in any link in the middle, the system will alarm and chain the line.

[0089] This embodiment determines the corresponding information of the parts to be installed according to the vehicle identification chip information when the vehicle to be assembled is in the target workstation; collects the corresponding image of the parts to be installed according to the information of the parts to be installed; performs visual matching based on the image of the parts to be installed and the information of the parts to be installed to determine the target part matching result; and determines the corresponding target vehicle assembly result according to the target part matching result. By identifying the chip information of the vehicle to be assembled, determining the corresponding information of the parts to be installed, and then collecting the image of the parts to be installed for visual matching, and finally determining the vehicle parts assembly result according to the visual matching result, the vehicle parts mismatch, wrong installation, and missing installation caused by human factors are avoided, and the correct parts are ensured to be assembled on the correct vehicle.

[0090] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 , step S40 in the vehicle assembly method further includes steps S41-S42:

[0091] Step S41, when the target part matching result is a part matching failure result, determining the target vehicle assembly result is a vehicle assembly failure result;

[0092] It can be understood that the part matching failure result refers to the result of the failure of the part to be installed to match the required part, and the vehicle assembly failure result refers to the result of the failure of the vehicle parts assembly.

[0093] In a specific implementation, when the target part matching result is a part matching failure result, it indicates that there is a mismatch problem in the vehicle parts, and then the target vehicle assembly result is determined to be a result of vehicle part assembly failure, that is, a vehicle assembly failure result.

[0094] In a feasible implementation manner, step S41 may further include steps A411 to A412:

[0095] Step A411, when the target vehicle assembly result is a vehicle assembly failure result, generating assembly failure alarm information;

[0096] It can be understood that the assembly failure alarm information refers to the information used for system alarm and interlocking line stop.

[0097] In specific implementation, during the entire assembly process, if an error or abnormal situation occurs in any link, the system will promptly alarm and take corresponding measures (such as stopping the line) to prevent the error from further spreading. That is, when the target vehicle assembly result is a vehicle assembly failure result, information for system alarm and chain stop is generated.

[0098] Step A412: Control the vehicle production line to stop running according to the assembly fault alarm information.

[0099] In the specific implementation, the system fault alarm is issued according to the information used for system alarm and chain line stop, and the vehicle production line is controlled to stop running. In the automobile manufacturing process, the system alarm and line stop mechanism are important means to ensure production quality and efficiency. By timely alarming and taking corresponding measures (such as line stop), the error can be effectively prevented from spreading further.

[0100] Step S42: when the target part matching result is a successful part matching result, a part assembly image is collected to determine a target vehicle assembly result.

[0101] It can be understood that the part assembly image refers to the image after the parts are assembled, and the part matching success result refers to the result of successful matching between the to-be-assembled parts and the reference image.

[0102] In a specific implementation, when the target part matching result is a successful match between the part to be assembled and the reference image, it indicates that the part assembly operation can be performed, and then the assembly staff assembles the corresponding parts, and when it is determined that the part assembly is completed, the image after the part assembly is completed is collected, and finally the corresponding target vehicle assembly result is determined based on the image after the part assembly is completed.

[0103] In a feasible implementation, step S42 may include steps A421 to A424:

[0104] Step A421, when the target part matching result is a successful part matching result, detecting the part assembly state;

[0105] It can be understood that the part assembly status refers to whether the parts are assembled.

[0106] In a specific implementation, when the target part matching result is a successful part matching result, in order to determine the parts assembly result of the vehicle, and then detect whether the parts are assembled, the screen displays a successful match when the parts are matched successfully. The employee takes the parts and presses the light. The indicator light goes out. The employee takes the parts and installs them on the vehicle body. Then, when the indicator light goes out, it is detected whether the parts are assembled, that is, the parts assembly status is detected.

[0107] Step A422, when the part assembly state is the assembly completion state, collecting the part assembly image;

[0108] It can be understood that when the part assembly state is the assembly completion state, it indicates that the part is assembled in place, and then the parts assembled to the vehicle body are photographed again through the visual system to obtain the part assembly image.

[0109] Step A423, performing visual matching based on the part assembly image and the information of the part to be installed to determine the part assembly verification result;

[0110] It can be understood that the parts assembly verification result refers to the visual matching result after the parts are assembled. In the specific implementation, the collected image after the parts are assembled is visually matched with the reference image after the parts are assembled in the information of the parts to be installed to determine whether the assembled parts are mismatched, misassembled, or missing, and finally determine the visual matching result after the parts are assembled, that is, the parts assembly verification result.

[0111] Step A424, when the parts assembly verification result is a successful assembly verification result, determining the target vehicle assembly result is a successful vehicle assembly result.

[0112] In a specific implementation, when the parts assembly verification result is a successful assembly verification result, it indicates that the parts assembly of the vehicle to be assembled has been completed, and then the target vehicle assembly result is determined to be a successful vehicle parts assembly result. In this embodiment, by integrating VIN code management, MES system scheduling, AVI chip information transmission, visual system error prevention and efficient linkage between systems, the parts assembly accuracy in the automobile production and manufacturing process is effectively improved, the safety hazards caused by wrong installation and missing installation are reduced, and the product quality and production efficiency are guaranteed.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the target part matching result is a part matching failure result, the target vehicle assembly result is determined to be a vehicle assembly failure result; when the target part matching result is a part matching success result, the part assembly image is collected to determine the target vehicle assembly result. When the part matching failure result is determined, the corresponding vehicle assembly failure result is determined; and when the part matching success result is obtained, the assembled part image is collected for further visual matching to determine the corresponding target vehicle assembly result. In the above manner, the accuracy of part assembly is improved, and the mismatch, wrong assembly, and missing assembly of vehicle parts are avoided.

[0114] For example, in order to help understand the implementation process of the vehicle assembly method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3A brief flow chart of a vehicle assembly method is provided. Specifically, MES sends a production queue, and when a production vehicle enters the final assembly site, the vehicle information (serial number, VIN, etc.) will be entered into the AVI chip. When the vehicle enters the designated workstation, the error-proofing system equipment reads the AVI chip information, and the information of the parts to be installed at the post will be displayed on the OD screen. At the same time, a lighted material rack is configured on the line side, and the equipment reads the 22-bit code in the chip to light up the material. Before the employee takes the material, the visual system will visually match and compare the parts to be assembled. When it is confirmed that the status is consistent with the entered part, the screen will display a successful match. The employee takes the part and presses the light. The indicator light goes out, and the employee takes the part and installs it on the body. When the parts are assembled in place, the visual system will take a photo of the parts assembled on the body again for matching verification to prevent employees from wrong installation or missing installation. If there is a problem in any link in the middle, the system will alarm and chain the line.

[0115] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the vehicle assembly method of the present application.
