DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the four laser profilers are all installed on the circumference of a mounting positioning ring whose outer dimensions cannot be adjusted, resulting in limitations on the size of the rail 500 to be tested that the detection device is applicable to, the present invention provides a pre-weld detection system for a rail 500, which can be achieved by slidably connecting a scanning piece 310 to a frame 100 so that the scanning piece 310 can slide relative to the rail 500 along the guide of the frame 100, and the scanning piece 310 can also rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center, so that the scanning piece 310 can scan the entire cross-section of the rail 500, avoiding the rail 500 from passing through a mounting positioning ring with a fixed size, thereby being applicable to rails 500 of different sizes.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 9 , Figure 1 , Figure 2The present invention is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pre-welding inspection system for a rail 500 in an embodiment of the present invention. The pre-welding inspection system for a rail 500 includes a frame 100, a transmission component 200, a first detection component 300 and a data processing component 400. The transmission component 200 is connected to the frame 100 and is used to transport the rail 500 along the guide of the frame 100. The first detection component 300 includes a scanning component 310, a driving component 350 and a sliding component 320. The scanning component 310 is arranged relative to the rail 500 and is used to scan the rail 500. The driving component 350 is connected to the scanning component 310 and can drive the scanning component to rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center. The sliding component 320 is connected to the scanning component 310 and is slidably connected to the frame 100, and is used to drive the scanning component 310 to slide relative to the rail 500 along the guide of the frame 100.

[0022] In this device, a conveying component 200 for conveying the rail 500 is provided on the frame 100, and the first detection component 300 includes a scanning component 310, a driving component 350 and a sliding component 320. The scanning component 310 is slidably connected to the frame 100 via the sliding component 320, and is used to realize the scanning relative to the rail 500 and the guided sliding along the frame 100. The scanning component 310 can also rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center under the drive of the driving component 350, and is used to realize the scanning of the entire cross-section of the rail 500.

[0023] In this embodiment, the scanning member 310 is slidably connected to the frame 100, so that the scanning member 310 can slide along the guide of the frame 100 relative to the rail 500. At the same time, the scanning member 310 can also rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center under the drive of the driving member 350, so that the scanning member 310 can scan the entire cross-section of the rail 500, avoiding the need to fix multiple laser profilers in the installation positioning ring, thereby reducing the number of laser profilers required by the detection system, and can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the detection system requires a large number of laser profilers due to the coordinated use of four adjustable laser profilers to scan the entire cross-section of the rail.

[0024] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the data processing component 400 is electrically connected to the transmission component 200, the scanning component 310 and the sliding component 320 to realize automatic detection.

[0025] Furthermore, in the present device, the frame 100 is a support structure or work platform for supporting each component, and the data processing component 400 is an automated control system that is common and easy to purchase on the market. By electrically connecting the data processing component 400 with the transmission component 200, the scanning component 310 and the sliding component 320, it is used to realize automated control and automatic detection. Here, the frame 100 and data processing are conventional settings well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] In one embodiment, the scanning piece 310 is a common device on the market, such as 3D structured light scanning. 3D structured light scanning is a non-contact optical three-dimensional measurement technology. It projects a coded structured light pattern (such as stripes, grids or sine waves) onto the surface of an object, uses a camera to capture the deformation of the pattern caused by the surface morphology of the object, and combines the principle of triangulation to calculate the three-dimensional coordinates of the object, ultimately generating a high-precision three-dimensional model.

[0027] Furthermore, the technical principle and core component of 3D structured light scanning Structured light projection uses a projector to project specific light patterns (such as stripes or coded graphics) onto the surface of an object. These patterns will deform due to the shape of the object surface. The degree of deformation of the light pattern is directly related to the depth information of the object surface. The three-dimensional coordinates can be derived by analyzing the deformation. Image capture and triangulation: A monocular or binocular camera captures the deformed light pattern, and the distance and angle of each point on the surface of the object are calculated by a triangulation algorithm based on the spatial position relationship between the projector and the camera to form point cloud data. Data processing and three-dimensional reconstruction: Generate a complete point cloud model by splicing multiple sets of scanning data, and then convert it into a polygonal mesh (such as an STL file) for applications such as reverse engineering, detection or 3D printing. This is a conventional setting known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the driving member 350 is a five-axis robotic arm, which is connected to the sliding member 320 and the scanning member 310 and is used to drive the scanning member 310 to rotate relative to the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center.

[0029] In order to realize the rotation of the scanning part 310 relative to the rail 500 and ensure that the scanning part 310 can stably realize detection during the rotation process, the scanning part 310 is installed on the active end of the five-axis robot. The five-axis robotic arm here is a common and easy-to-purchase equipment on the market. The five-axis robotic arm is electrically connected to the data processing component 400 to realize the automation and intelligence of the detection, which will not be elaborated here.

[0030] Furthermore, the sliding member 320 is slidably connected to the top of the frame 100 through a support frame, and the sliding member 320 is a common and easy-to-purchase slide on the market, which is used to ensure the stability of the scanning piece 310 sliding relative to the frame 100, and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly 200 includes two roller members 210, and the roller members 210 have a fixed end and a rotating end. The fixed ends of the two roller members 210 are arranged at intervals along the guide of the frame 100 and are respectively connected to the frame 100, and the rotating ends of the two roller members 210 are respectively movably abutted against the rail 500.

[0032] The rotating end of the roller member 210 rotates relative to the fixed end thereof, and the rotating end of the roller member 210 abuts against the rail 500 to generate sliding friction, thereby pushing the rail 500 to move relative to the frame 100 .

[0033] Furthermore, the roller member 210 includes a shaft, a bearing, a roller body, etc. The roller member 210 is a common and easy-to-purchase device on the market, which is a conventional setting known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In one embodiment, guide rollers are provided on both sides of the roller, and the guide rollers on both sides can slide closer to or away from the rail 500 after adjustment, so as to guide or change the moving direction of the rail 500, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] In one of the embodiments, in order to meet the detection needs of rails 500 of different specifications, a lifting roller is provided on one side of the roller member 210. The lifting of the roller is adjusted to meet the transportation needs of rails 500 of different specifications. No further details will be given here.

[0036] In this embodiment, as 3 to Figure 5 As shown, the first detection component 300 also includes at least one calibration component 330, which has multiple calibration points 331. The multiple calibration points 331 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the rail 500 and are all connected to the frame 100 for cooperating with the scanning component 310 for linear scanning.

[0037] By setting calibration points 331 in the circumferential direction of the rail 500 as reference points during linear scanning, accurate positioning of the entire cross section of the rail 500 can be achieved, thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0038] In one embodiment, the calibration member 330 has a first fixed portion 332, a first abutting portion 333 and a calibration portion 334. The first fixed portion 332 is disposed between the two roller members 210 and connected to the frame 100. The first abutting portion 333 is rotatably connected to the first fixed portion 332 and can abut against the rail 500. The calibration portion 334 is connected to the first fixed portion 332. The calibration portion 334 is provided with a fixed channel 335 allowing the rail 500 to pass through. A plurality of calibration points 331 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the fixed channel 335 and are respectively connected to the circumferential side walls of the fixed channel 335.

[0039] The first fixing portion 332 is used to connect and support the first abutting portion 333 and the calibration portion 334. The first abutting portion 333 can rotate relative to the first fixing portion 332 and abut against the rail 500 to avoid contact between the rail 500 and the calibration portion 334, thereby reducing the generation of errors and improving detection accuracy. The calibration portion 334 is provided with a fixed channel 335 to allow the rail 500 to pass through.

[0040] Furthermore, the first abutment portion 333 is a common and easily purchased roller on the market, which is connected to the first fixing portion 332 and rotates relative to the first fixing portion 332 to support the movement of the rail 500, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the marking portion 334 is further provided with a notch, which is communicated with the fixing channel 335 , and the first abutting portion 333 is embedded in the fixing channel 335 via the notch.

[0042] In order to reduce the volume of the device and optimize the structure of the calibration member 330 , the first abutting portion 333 is built into the fixing channel 335 through a notch and can form a support for the rail 500 .

[0043] Furthermore, the first abutment portion 333 may be one or two. One or two first abutment portions 333 are connected to the end of the fixed channel 335 and are arranged on the moving path of the rail 500 for abutting against the rail 500. No further details will be given here.

[0044] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first detection component 300 also includes two clamping parts 340, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed channel 335 and are respectively slidably connected to the first fixed part 332, and the two clamping parts 340 can respectively abut against the rail 500 after approaching each other.

[0045] By providing the clamping parts 340 that can slide relative to the first fixing part 332 on both sides of the first abutting part 333 , the two clamping parts 340 can slide close to or away from the rail 500 after adjustment, so as to guide or change the moving direction of the rail 500 .

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping part 340 here is a roller that is common and easy to purchase on the market. The rotating axis of the roller is vertically arranged, and is slidably connected to the first fixed part 332 through the sliding seat 341 and the linear drive structure 342. The extended end of the linear drive structure 342 is extended or shortened relative to its fixed end to drive the sliding seat 341 and the roller to move relative to the first fixed part 332, thereby realizing the clamping part 340 approaching or moving away from the rail 500. No further details will be given here.

[0047] Furthermore, the linear drive structure 342 here is a structure similar to a ball screw nut pair composed of a screw and a threaded hole. The rotation of the screw around its own axis can drive the sliding seat 341 to slide linearly relative to the first fixed part 332. The linear drive structure 342 here can also be a push rod motor, a cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder, which will not be elaborated here.

[0048] In one embodiment, the marking portion 334 is hollow.

[0049] The calibration part 334 is hollow and has a cage-like structure composed of a plurality of rods, which is used to reduce the weight of the calibration part 334 and prevent the side wall of the calibration part 334 from blocking the rail 500, thereby effectively improving the detection accuracy.

[0050] In one embodiment, the calibration portion 334 is in a strip shape, and a calibration channel is provided along the length direction of the calibration portion 334 . The support member is rotatably inserted into the calibration channel and abuts against the rail 500 .

[0051] The setting direction of the calibration channel is consistent with the length direction of the calibration portion 334, and the support member is built into the calibration channel to reduce the volume of the device.

[0052] In one embodiment, the cross section of the marking portion 334 is a regular polygon.

[0053] In order to improve the error of the calibration cage as a reference and improve the detection accuracy, the cross-section of the calibration portion 334 is a regular polygon.

[0054] Furthermore, the calibration portion 334 with a regular polygonal cross section not only has a uniform structure but also has a low production cost, thus meeting the requirements of industrial use.

[0055] In one embodiment, the cross section of the marking portion 334 is a regular hexagon.

[0056] Furthermore, the number of sides (e.g., six sides, eight sides, or twelve sides) is dynamically selected according to the detection requirements, and a high-stability material system is provided, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] Furthermore, in the present device, one or two calibration points 331 are respectively arranged on the six sides of the calibration cage, and one or two calibration points 331 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the calibration cage, which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In this embodiment, the number of the first detection components 300 is one, two or three, and the user can make a reasonable selection according to the specific usage.

[0059] Furthermore, two adjacent calibration parts 334 are detachably connected via a fastening connection structure, wherein the fastening connection structure is a screw or bolt that is common and easy to purchase on the market, and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the device also includes a second detection component 600, which includes a support body 610 and a plurality of image acquisition components 620. The support body 610 is arranged between the roller component 210 and the first fixing portion 332 of the calibration component 330, and is provided with a detection channel allowing the rail 500 to pass through. The plurality of image acquisition components 620 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the detection channel and are all connected to the support body 610.

[0061] By evenly arranging a plurality of image acquisition components 620 along the circumferential direction of the rail 500, it is possible to acquire image information of the surrounding areas when the rail 500 moves relative to the support body 610. Here, the image acquisition component 620 is a 2D camera or 3D camera that is common and easy to purchase on the market, and is a conventional setting known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] In addition, in some embodiments, the second detection component 600 should also include a surface detection component, which can obtain the position data and light intensity data of the entire cross-section of the rail 500 based on the image or video information collected by the image acquisition component 620. The surface detection component here belongs to a conventional setting well known to technical personnel in this field and will not be elaborated here.

[0063] In one embodiment, if Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the support body 610 is hollow and a detection channel is formed in the middle. The support body 610 is welded by a plurality of steel materials arranged in a criss-cross pattern to form a hollow steel frame structure, and a detection channel is formed in the middle to allow the rail 500 to pass through. The hollow steel frame structure can reduce the dead weight and manufacturing cost of the surface detection device, and is convenient for construction and installation.

[0064] In one embodiment, if Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the number of image acquisition components 620 in the second detection component 600 is six, two image acquisition components 620 are arranged relative to the rail 500, and are respectively connected to the two opposite side walls of the detection channel, and the four image acquisition components 620 are a pair, and the two pairs of image acquisition components 620 are arranged relative to the rail 500, and are respectively connected to the other two opposite side walls of the detection channel.

[0065] Two image acquisition components 620 are respectively arranged directly above and directly below the rail 500. The four image acquisition components 620 are respectively grouped into two. The two groups of image acquisition components 620 are respectively arranged on the left side and right side of the rail 500. The two image acquisition components 620 located on the left side or right side of the rail 500 are spaced apart from each other and are respectively inclined relative to the support body 610 so that the image acquisition components 620 can face the rail 500 and surround the entire cross-section of the rail 500, so as to improve the accuracy of image detection.

[0066] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the second detection component 600 also includes at least one speed detection member 630, and the speed detection member 630 includes a second abutting portion 631 and a detection portion 632. The second abutting portion 631 is movably abutted against the rail 500 and can rotate relative to the support body 610. The detection portion 632 has a fixed end and a detection end. The fixed end of the detection portion 632 is connected to the support body 610, and the detection end is connected to the second abutting portion 631, and is used to detect the speed at which the second abutting portion 631 rotates relative to the support body 610.

[0067] The speed detection component 630 measures the passing speed of the rail 500, and the image acquisition component 620 can detect the surface quality of the rail 500.

[0088] Detection structures are provided on both sides of the support body 610, which can ensure that when measuring the rail head and rail tail of the rail 500, the speed of the rail 500 can be input through the electrical control component, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0089] In this embodiment, the data processing component is electrically connected to the roller component, the scanning component, the driving component, the sliding component, the plurality of image acquisition components and the speed detection component.

[0090] The data processing component here is a common and easily purchased device on the market, which is used to realize the automatic detection of rails. This is a conventional setting known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0091] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figures 1 to 9 The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail: The frame 100 is provided with a conveying component 200 for conveying the rail 500. The first detection component 300 includes a scanning component 310 and a sliding component 320. The scanning component 310 is slidably connected to the frame 100 via the sliding component 320, and is used to realize the scanning relative to the rail 500 and the guided sliding along the frame 100. The scanning component 310 can also rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center, and is used to realize the scanning of the entire cross-section of the rail 500. The data processing component 400 is electrically connected to the conveying component 200, the scanning component 310 and the sliding component 320, and is used to realize automatic detection. Compared with the prior art, the scanning member 310 is slidably connected to the frame 100, so that the scanning member 310 can slide along the guide of the frame 100 relative to the rail 500. At the same time, driven by the driving member 350, the scanning member 310 can also rotate around the rail 500 with the rail 500 as the center, so that the scanning member 310 can scan the entire cross-section of the rail 500, avoiding fixing multiple laser profilers in the installation positioning ring, thereby reducing the number of laser profilers required by the detection system.

[0092] According to the specific working process of the present invention, the rail 500 is placed on the roller member 210 and abuts against the roller member 210. The friction between the roller member 210 and the rail 500 pushes the rail 500 to move relative to the support body 610. Then, when the rail 500 passes through the detection channel, the six image acquisition components 620 acquire images of the surface of the rail 500. At the same time, the second abutment portion 631 contacts the rail 500, which can drive the second abutment portion 631 to rotate relative to the support body 610, and the moving speed of the rail 500 is acquired by the detection portion 632. The speed detection component 630 measures the passing speed of the rail 500. The image acquisition component 620 can detect the surface quality of the rail 500. After obtaining the passing speed of the rail 500 and the surface quality information of the rail 500, the user can judge the quality problem points through the light intensity map, and then judge the result through the position size verification, and finally obtain the surface quality detection result, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the surface quality detection of the rail 500 before welding.

[0093] Furthermore, the rail 500 continues to move forward and enters the fixed channel 335 of the calibration portion 334. The rail 500 abuts against the first abutment portion 333, and through the friction between the roller member 210 and the rail 500, the rail 500 continues to be pushed to move relative to the frame 100. The sliding member 320 drives the five-axis robot arm and the scanning member 310 to slide relative to the frame 100 to scan the entire cross-section of the rail 500.

[0094] The device can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the detection system requires a large number of laser profilers due to the coordinated scanning area of ​​four adjustable laser profilers to cover the full cross-section scanning of the rail. The specific implementation of the present invention described above does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
