[0088] (2) The present invention innovatively proposes a cable multimodal recognition technology, which uses a pre-trained multimodal recognition model to process the multimodal image of the cable, and simultaneously identifies the metal core material and cable specification parameters, providing a strong basis for the subsequent control of the tool cutting operation parameters, thereby ensuring the cutting quality of the cable.

[0089] (3) The present invention innovatively proposes a progressive secondary positioning technology for cables, which processes the images before and after the placement of the cable and performs coarse positioning and fine positioning.

[0138] according to Figure 1An embodiment of the present invention provides a cable adaptive disassembly system, comprising: a control unit and an execution unit; the control unit is configured to: obtain a multimodal image of a cable to be loaded, and determine the metal core material and cable specification parameters simultaneously by combining a pre-trained multimodal recognition model;

[0139] According to the metal core material and cable specification parameters, the control parameters are adaptively adjusted; the control parameters include straightening clamping diameter, fixed length knife type, primary cutting depth and secondary cutting depth.

[0140] The cable specification parameters include but are not limited to cable diameter, coating thickness and insulation layer thickness.

[0141] Specifically, the straight clamping diameter is determined according to the cable diameter; the primary cutting depth is determined according to the coating thickness; the secondary cutting depth is determined according to the insulation thickness; and the fixed-length blade type is determined according to the metal core material.

[0142] In some specific implementations, in the control unit, the multimodal image to be loaded includes a cable 2D image, a cable 3D image, and a cable infrared image;

[0143] The process of using the multimodal recognition model to simultaneously determine the metal core material and cable specification parameters is as follows:

[0144] Extracting the detection area from the cable 2D image;

[0145] Determine the corresponding detection area in the cable 3D image and the cable infrared image based on the position matching relationship between the cable 2D image, the cable 3D image and the cable infrared image;

[0146] Extracting 2D features, 3D features, and infrared features from the detection areas of the cable 2D image, cable 3D image, and cable infrared image, respectively;

[0147] Fuse 2D features, 3D features and infrared features to obtain fused features;

[0148] Based on the mapping relationship between the fusion features and the metal core material and cable specification parameters, the corresponding metal core material and cable specification parameters are obtained.

[0149] The expression for extracting the detection area from the cable 2D image is:

[0150] ;

[0151] in, is the between-class variance; and are the pixel ratios of foreground and background, respectively; and are the average grayscale of foreground and background respectively;

[0152] The noise in the object is removed through the corrosion operation, and then the corrosion image is expanded to restore the size of the corroded object.

[0153] After obtaining the binarized image, we need to begin the image information extraction process. The first step is to perform an opening operation on the detection area. Since the opening operation is a method of first corroding and then dilating the image area, its formula is first broken down. The structural element element is used to perform an erosion operation on the image src to remove small noise in the object. The formula for the erosion operation is:

[0154] ;

[0155] in, Represents the input image; the position in the image ; Represents the element of the structural element element; min represents the minimum value; Represents the output result after the input image is eroded.

[0156] Perform a dilation operation on the eroded image to restore the size of the eroded object. The formula for the dilation operation is:

[0157] ;

[0158] in, Represents the expansion operation function; max represents the maximum value.

[0159] Finally it can be merged into:

[0160] ;

[0161] in, Represents the output result after the corrosion operation and the expansion operation; Represents the output result after the input image is eroded.

[0162] In one or more embodiments, in the control unit, the position information of the cable to be loaded is determined according to the cable progressive secondary positioning method, and the process is as follows:

[0163] Step b1: Acquire images before and after placing the cable, which serve as the background image and cable image respectively;

[0164] The image before unwinding is obtained as a background image, and the image after unwinding is obtained. The position of the cable is obtained based on the difference between the image before unwinding and the image after unwinding. The obtained cable position is used as a template image to achieve coarse positioning.

[0165] Step b2: Subtracting the cable image from the background image to obtain a rough cable positioning result;

[0166] Specifically, the cable recognition algorithm relies on the OpenCV open-source library for subsequent development. First, an aerial image of the material preparation carrier is taken as a background image for identification. After the material is placed and prepared, a second image is taken. The cable's location is determined based on the difference between the two images, and this image is used as a template for coarse positioning.

[0167] Assume that the two input images are src1 and src2, and their size and type must be the same. For each pixel position ( x , y ), the calculation formula for calculating the difference between two images is implemented using the absdiff function, and its expression is:

[0168] ;

[0169] in, and There are two input images at positions Pixel value of Is the output image at position The pixel value represents the pixel difference between the corresponding pixels of the two input images.

[0170] The absdiff function is a function in the OpenCV open source algorithm library that is used to calculate the difference between two images.

[0171] Step b3: Extract the minimum circumscribed rectangle of the cable based on the coarse positioning result, perform fine positioning on the cable, and use the fine positioning result as the final cable position.

[0172] Wherein, in the control unit, the process of extracting the minimum circumscribed rectangle of the cable according to the rough positioning result is:

[0173] Step b31: extracting the appearance of the cable and performing contour fitting on the extracted area;

[0174] Step b32: Calculate the centroid and covariance matrix of the point set on the contour;

[0175] Step b33: Calculate the eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, wherein the eigenvectors define the directions of the major and minor axes of the minimum bounding rectangle; and obtain the rotation angle of the minimum bounding rectangle according to the eigenvectors.

[0176] During the cable manufacturing process, materials are distributed evenly across all parts in equal quantities. By segmenting and identifying the target's overall dimensions, the cable's midpoint is determined and then grasped, allowing the entire loading process to smoothly move to the feeding and cutting device. Therefore, when designing a mechanical fixture to grasp the target cable, vision is used to extract the target's appearance. The extracted area is then contour-fitted to form a minimum bounding rectangle. The center point of the bounding rectangle is then determined, and the articulated manipulator control algorithm is used to control the manipulator to move to the designated target point to perform the grasping and loading task.

[0177] Point Set The center of mass , and the covariance matrix C is:

[0178] ;

[0179] ;

[0180] ;

[0181] in, n is the number of all points in the contour.

[0182] Since the cable to be tested has passed the front-end straightening process before being placed on the loading position, the minimum circumscribed rectangle of the cable is extracted according to the rough positioning result, the center point of the rectangle is calculated, and then the fine positioning result is obtained based on the center point.

[0183] Further solution can obtain the eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, the eigenvalue λ (including λ1 and λ2) and the corresponding eigenvectors and It can be obtained by solving the characteristic equation:

[0184] ;

[0185] in, is the identity matrix of the same size as C. The eigenvector and Defines the major and minor axis directions of the minimum bounding rectangle.

[0186] The rotation angle of the rectangle The eigenvector in the direction of the principal axis and x The angle between the axes determines:

[0187] ;

[0188] in, is the inverse tangent function; and are the principal axis eigenvectors iny Direction and x Directional weight.

[0189] From the above calculation formula, the center point of the minimum circumscribed rectangle is the centroid of the contour. The rotation angle of the minimum enclosing rectangle is , its main purpose is to determine the specific position of the minimum bounding rectangle in the image.

[0190] In this embodiment, the execution unit includes at least the following mechanisms:

[0191] (1) Cable loading mechanism, which is used to grab the cable and load it according to the cable position and the known affine transformation matrix.

[0192] In this embodiment, the cable feeding mechanism takes a joint manipulator as an example:

[0193] An affine transformation matrix is ​​directly obtained by solving the x, y values ​​of the points in the nine sets of mutually corresponding pixel coordinate systems and the current position of the joint manipulator. The affine transformation matrix is ​​used for motion control of the joint manipulator.

[0194] The hand-eye calibration algorithm is used to implement affine transformation between the image pixel coordinate system and the base coordinate system of the joint manipulator using the following formula to establish the matrix transformation relationship between the two coordinate systems:

[0195] ;

[0196] Among them, the image position in Columns representing pixel coordinates, Represents the row of the pixel coordinate system; Represents the rotation angle of the coordinate system; Represents the horizontal translation of the coordinate system; Represents the vertical translation of the coordinate system; Represents the horizontal scaling of the coordinate system; Representing the coordinate system The amount of scaling in the direction; Represents the horizontal coordinate of the robot arm base coordinate system; Represents the vertical coordinate of the robot arm's base coordinate system.

[0197] Optionally, considering ease of operation, a C# language interface and the SDK (Software Development Kit) provided by the articulated manipulator are combined to generate nine photo points within the camera's field of view, accessible to the manipulator, and capture images of the cable. Using the nine corresponding pixel coordinates and the manipulator's current position, an affine transformation matrix is ​​directly derived. This affine transformation matrix, used as the result of hand-eye calibration, is then used to control the manipulator's motion.

[0198] Due to the current process flow and carrier size, and the potential for collisions between cables or the joint manipulator when responding to point-to-point motion commands, a visual inspection device has been added to the vehicle's exterior to address potential safety hazards. A visual component mounted on a visual bracket monitors the joint manipulator for collision avoidance. When the joint manipulator moves into the work area, a camera activates, detecting in real time whether the manipulator's motion path has deviated. If this occurs, a buzzer alarm is activated via the PLC to prevent collisions.

[0199] This embodiment primarily prepares for the automated cable disassembly process, including loading and conveying. In addition to the aforementioned articulated manipulator, industrial camera, and vision algorithm, it also includes mechanical gripping and conveying. When the articulated manipulator grips the cable to be disassembled before moving it to the next process, gripping and conveying assist the articulated manipulator in delivering it to the circular cutting loading port for subsequent work, such as cutting and disassembly, to ensure smooth and accurate delivery to the loading port.

[0200] After acquiring the cable information, the robot guides the articulated arm to perform fixed-point grasping. During the operation, a camera is installed to monitor the arm's motion trajectory in real time, providing protection and collision prevention. Once the articulated arm completes its visual guidance task, it grabs the cable and moves it to the gripping conveyor for secondary gripping. The gripper is then gradually transported to the circular cutting loading port, completing the subsequent process flow.

[0202] In some optional embodiments, the preprocessing mechanism includes a straightening sub-mechanism and a length-fixing sub-mechanism. The straightening sub-mechanism is used to straighten the loaded cables after clamping them according to the straightening clamping diameter; the length-fixing sub-mechanism is used to cut cable segments of a set length according to the set length of the straightened cables.

[0203] It should be noted here that both the straightening sub-organization and the length-fixing sub-organization can be implemented using existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

The first vision camera 28 captures a cross-sectional image of the cable entering the circumcision mechanism 3, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate the cable diameter and the thickness of the inner and outer sheaths. The AI ​​algorithm is not limited to a specific algorithm type and can be a mature image recognition algorithm. The specific process is not detailed in this embodiment.

[0215] The cutting spindle 37 is a structure that drives the motor to output a certain speed and torque. In this embodiment, the cutting spindle 37 is used to drive the cutting blade 311 to rotate.

[0216] The servo slide cylinder 35 is driven by a servo motor (or electric cylinder) to enable linear motion of the movable portion along a slide rail on the surface of the fixed portion. In this embodiment, the servo slide cylinder 35 drives the cutting blades 311 and the cutting spindle 37 in linear motion, adjusting the spacing between the two sets of cutting blades 311 to accommodate circular cutting of cables with different diameters.

[0217] In this embodiment, a hole is provided on the rotating plate 310 for accommodating the passage of the cable. At least two groups of cutting blades 311 and corresponding cutting spindles 37 and servo slide cylinders 35 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the hole. The two groups of cutting blades 311 are driven by their respective servo slide cylinders 35 to move closer to or away from each other to adapt to the circular cutting of cable sheaths of different diameters.

[0218] After the cable passes through the visual mechanism 2 to obtain a cross-sectional image, it passes through the hole reserved on the rotary plate 310. The cutting spindle 37 drives the cutting blade 311 to rotate, and the servo slide cylinder 35 is extended according to the thickness of the insulation layer. After it is in place, the first servo motor assembly 39 drives the rotary support ring gear 312 to rotate via the driving gear 34. After rotating 190°, the circular cutting is completed, the servo slide cylinder 35 retracts, and the first servo motor assembly 39 flips over and resets.

[0261] like Figure 20-21 As shown, the device of this embodiment is for a cable whose coating has been cut by a cutter, and the coating is divided into equally spaced segments by a ring cutting mechanism. Specifically, the cutter cuts the coating of the cable into two parts with semicircular cross-sections along the axial direction of the cable, and the ring cutting mechanism divides the coating into equally spaced segments. In this state, the core of the cable is still a complete piece of metal, while the coating on the surface is ring cut into multiple equally spaced segments, and the cross-section of the coating in each spacing segment is cut into a semicircle. Since the coating at this time has not completely fallen off the core due to friction and adhesion, the separation of the core and the coating is achieved through the vibration and lateral breaking up of the device of this embodiment.

[0262] The separated coating material falls into a waste bin through the roller spacing for recycling, while the core is conveyed to the core connection belt line, where it is gripped by a robot equipped with an AI vision algorithm and transferred to a storage container, achieving the automated separation and recycling of cable materials. Because the core of the pre-processed cable is a complete conductor and is much longer than the coating, vibration and lateral dispersion can completely separate the core and coating. The variable spacing between the rollers creates a near-screening effect, allowing the core to be selected from the separated material, making separation and recycling much simpler.

The process of using the multimodal recognition model to simultaneously determine the metal core material and cable specification parameters is as follows:
