Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cylindrical roller bearing detection, and in particular to a cylindrical roller sliding-rolling ratio measurement method based on three-dimensional digital image correlation. Background Art

[0002] When the bearing is working, the roller not only bears the load, but also moves relative to the inner and outer rings. The sliding-rolling ratio directly reflects the friction characteristics between the rollers and raceways in the bearing, and is an important indicator for evaluating the friction performance and working status of the bearing. Maintaining a reasonable sliding-rolling ratio is crucial for the normal operation of the bearing. A sliding-rolling ratio that is too large or too small will cause bearing wear, noise and temperature rise, affecting the life and reliability of the bearing. Therefore, accurate measurement of the sliding-rolling ratio of the bearing is one of the keys to ensuring bearing performance and life.

[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN110118656B provides a device and method for measuring the friction and sliding-rolling ratio between the bearing steel ball and the inner and outer rings, which uses an encoder and a laser sensor to simultaneously measure the friction and sliding-rolling ratio between the roller and the inner and outer rings. This measurement method has the following problems: First, it cannot accurately measure the sliding-rolling ratio of each roller, but can only provide the average sliding-rolling ratio of the entire bearing, and cannot reflect the specific working status of individual rollers. Secondly, this measurement method cannot reflect the dynamic fluctuations of the sliding-rolling ratio caused by changes in working conditions in real time.

[0040] It should be noted that: unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this document shall have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the invention belongs. The words "one", "an" or "the" and the like used in the patent application specification and claims of the present invention do not express quantity restrictions, but indicate the existence of at least one; the words "first", "second" and "third" used in this document shall not be regarded as restrictions on the order of components, but are only used to distinguish different components; words such as "include" or "comprise" and the like indicate that the elements or objects appearing before "include" or "comprise" include the elements or objects listed after "include" or "comprise" and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects with the same function.

[0041] In order to more clearly describe the cylindrical roller sliding-rolling ratio measurement method based on three-dimensional digital image correlation, combined with the attached Figure 1-2 Describe this embodiment:

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cylindrical roller sliding-rolling ratio measurement method based on three-dimensional digital image correlation is based on a visual platform capable of carrying a bearing to be measured and driving the inner ring of the bearing to be measured to rotate, and a binocular camera consisting of a left camera and a right camera with the same frame rate; the cylindrical roller bearing to be measured includes an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2 and a roller 3;

[0043] The following steps are involved:

[0044] S1. Place the bearing to be tested on a visual platform, and make different speckle patterns 4 on the end faces of each roller 3 on the same side of the bearing to be tested. Drive the inner ring 2 of the bearing to be tested to rotate at a preset inner ring driving speed to put it into operation. Use a binocular camera to synchronously capture the end face image of the bearing to be tested in the operation state frame by frame. The view obtained by the left camera is called the left view, and the view obtained by the right camera is called the right view.

[0045] S2, select a reference sub-area 6 in the speckle pattern 4 of a roller photographed by the left camera (select the current frame image photographed by the left camera as the reference image, and select a rectangular area of ​​20×15 pixels in the center of the speckle pattern of a roller as the reference sub-area), take the initial frame of the same roller speckle pattern photographed by the left camera and the right camera as the current frame for stereo matching, and determine a matching sub-area 8 on the speckle pattern photographed by the right camera that matches the reference sub-area 6;

[0046] Based on the reference sub-area 6 and matching sub-area 8 of the initial frame of the same roller speckle pattern photographed by the left camera and the right camera, a three-dimensional coordinate point cloud P of the reference sub-area 6 of the initial frame speckle pattern is obtained. 0 ;

[0047] Stereo matching specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: during stereo matching, the search range 5 is determined by epipolar constraints, and each coordinate point along the epipolar line in the speckle pattern captured by the right camera is taken as the center. Around the center, the area with the same size as the reference sub-area 6 of the left camera is selected in turn as the target sub-area for stereo matching (a rectangular area with a size of 20×15 pixels), and the correlation between each target sub-area and the reference sub-area 6 is calculated by the zero-mean normalized cross-correlation coefficient, and the target sub-area with the highest correlation is selected as the matching sub-area 8 of the reference sub-area;

[0049] After the epipolar constraint, each pair of matching pixels is on the same horizontal line with the same row coordinates and only a deviation in the column coordinates, which is used for subsequent calculation of the disparity. The disparity d refers to the pixel column coordinates of the same point of the object in the left view minus the column coordinates of the corresponding pixel in the right view, combined with the two-dimensional coordinates of the pixel itself to form a three-dimensional coordinate.

[0050] For each pixel to be matched in the reference sub-region 6, the matching cost between it and the possible matching pixels in the target sub-region is preliminarily calculated through the grayscale and position information of the neighborhood to form a cost matrix, which is used to characterize the matching degree of two pixels. The smaller the cost, the greater the correlation between the two pixels, and the higher the possibility that they represent the same physical point in the actual space;

[0051] Step 2: Iterate through the inverse Gauss-Newton iteration method (IC-GN) to obtain the sub-pixel coordinates of each pixel in the matching sub-area;

[0052] Step 3: Perform three-dimensional reconstruction based on the coordinates of each pixel point in the reference sub-area 6 and the coordinates of the pixel points in the corresponding matching sub-area to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of each pair of pixel points in the reference sub-area 6 of the roller speckle pattern, which are recorded as a three-dimensional coordinate point cloud;

[0053] S3, performing time sequence matching between the current frame of the same roller speckle pattern photographed by the left camera and its next frame, and determining a target sub-region that matches the reference sub-region 6 on the next frame of speckle pattern photographed by the left camera;

[0054] During timing matching, the speckle pattern of the next frame is searched at alternate points within the search range 5 of the reference sub-area of ​​the current frame, and the target sub-area with the highest correlation with the reference sub-area is selected as the new reference sub-area 7. The search range is updated according to the position of the new reference sub-area 7, which is recorded as the new search range 10;

[0055] S4, after taking the target sub-region of the speckle pattern of the same roller in the next frame photographed by the left camera as the new reference sub-region 7, stereo matching is performed on the speckle patterns of the same roller in the next frame photographed by the left camera and the right camera (the same as the stereo matching step in S2), and a new matching sub-region 9 on the speckle pattern of the next frame photographed by the right camera that matches the new reference sub-region is determined;

[0056] Based on the next frame new reference sub-region and the new matching sub-region 9 of the same roller speckle pattern photographed by the left camera and the right camera, the three-dimensional coordinate point cloud P of the next frame new reference sub-region 7 of the speckle pattern is obtained. 1 ;

[0057] S5, repeat S3-S4 to obtain the three-dimensional coordinate point cloud P of the reference sub-area of ​​each frame of the speckle pattern of the same roller 2 , P 3 , P 4 ,…P i ;

[0058] S6. Obtain the pose matrix between the three-dimensional coordinate point clouds of adjacent frames through the point cloud registration algorithm, and obtain the rotation matrix R of the pose matrix through singular value decomposition to obtain the inter-frame rotation angle α of the corresponding roller adjacent frames i ;

[0059] The rotation matrix R is expressed as:

[0060] q m =Rp m +t

[0061] Where: p is the coordinate of the feature point (pixel in the sub-region) of the current frame, p = (p 1 ,p 2 ,…,p m );q is the feature point coordinate of the next frame, q=(q 1 ,q 2 ,…,q m ), m is the feature point number, m = 1, 2, ..., n; R contains three rotation displacements; t is the translation vector describing the movement before and after, including three translation displacements.

[0062] Construct an error function and solve the optimal transformation of the rotation matrix R through the least squares equation so that the mean square error between the corresponding point sets (the set of all pixel points in the sub-area) is minimized;

[0063]

[0064] The rotation matrix R is regarded as a composite matrix of three basic rotation matrices Rx, Ry, and Rz that rotate around the rotation axis. The rotation angle α is solved by SVD matrix decomposition. The inter-frame rotation angle α i It is expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] S7, according to the inner ring driving speed, the frame rotation angle α i The instantaneous sliding-rolling ratio of the corresponding roller is calculated by the camera frame rate;

[0075] The parts not described in detail in the above embodiments are prior art.

[0076] It should be noted that although the present invention is described by the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it is obvious that those skilled in the art may make various corresponding changes and deformations to the present invention, but these changes and deformations should all fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention and their equivalents.
