[0023] Please refer to together Figures 1 to 4, the sealing and locking device 100 based on AI vision provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below. The sealing and locking device 100 based on AI vision includes: an attitude adjustment section 10, a sealing and locking section 20, a camera 30, and a processing unit (not shown in the figure).

[0024] Specifically, the attitude adjustment section 10 includes a first conveying device 11, a support crossbeam 12, and a pair of clamping arm assemblies 13. The support crossbeam 12 is disposed above the first conveying device 11. The clamping arm assembly 13 includes a movable clamping arm 131 and a side belt conveyor 132. A pair of the movable clamping arms 131 are movably disposed on the support crossbeam 12, and the side belt conveyor 132 is disposed on the corresponding movable clamping arm 131. The pair of side belt conveyors 132 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first conveying device 11.

[0025] Wherein, the camera 30 is located above the first conveying device 11 and is used to acquire luggage images. The processing unit is used to perform real-time deflection angle analysis on the luggage images, and during the process of the clamping arm assembly 13 clamping the luggage, the transmission differential speed of the two side belt conveyors 132 is controlled according to the luggage deflection angle to adjust the luggage.

[0026] Specifically, the sealing and locking section 20 includes a second conveying device 21 and a sealing and locking mechanism 22. The second conveying device 21 is arranged in parallel with the first conveying device 11, and the sealing and locking mechanism 22 is located on the second conveying device 21 and is used to seal and lock the luggage after the deflection angle is adjusted.

[0027] It can be understood that the first conveying device 11 and the second conveying device 21 can be a conveying belt, a rod conveying device, or a universal wheel conveying device, aiming to stably convey the luggage. The two ends of the support crossbeam 12 can be fixed above the first conveying device 11 through vertical support columns.

[0028] In one embodiment, a plurality of infrared sensors 211 are provided on both the second conveying device 21 and the first conveying device 11 to detect the transmission position or speed of the luggage through the infrared sensors 211.

[0029] In one embodiment, the processing unit is a central processing unit or can also be a remotely connected background server, aiming to be able to process and analyze the luggage images and send control commands.

[0030] In one embodiment, the sealing and locking device 100 based on AI vision further includes a buffer section 40. The buffer section 40 is connected to the second conveying device 21 and is used to buffer the luggage after sealing and locking.

[0031] The luggage image can be a standard top-down view image of the luggage or a relative top-down view image with a certain offset relative to the standard top-down view image, aiming to reflect the overall deflection angle α of the luggage through the luggage image. For the rotation process, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 as shown.

[0032] In this way, the beneficial effects of the sealing and locking device 100 based on AI vision provided by the present application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, when the luggage stops moving after entering the first conveying device 11, the transmission differential speed of the two side belt conveyors 132 is controlled according to the luggage deflection angle to adjust the luggage deflection angle, so that the luggage is corrected. Specifically, the two side belt conveyors 132 can be controlled to rotate in opposite directions to form a large speed difference, and two frictional forces in opposite directions are applied to both sides of the luggage, and the luggage can be protected from being squeezed during the correction process. During the sealing and locking process, the quality of sealing and locking is improved.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , an elastic guiding mechanism 133 and a photoelectric induction unit 134 are provided on the moving clamping arm 131, a detection piece 135 is provided on the side belt conveyor 132, the side belt conveyor 132 is slidably connected to the elastic guiding mechanism 133, and the detection piece 135 is correspondingly arranged with the photoelectric induction unit 134.

[0034] It can be understood that the elastic guiding mechanism 133 can be a mechanism composed of a guide rail and a spring, or a mechanism composed of a guide rod and a spring leaf, aiming to enable the side belt conveyor 132 to move backward under the guiding action of the elastic guiding mechanism 133 when the side belt conveyor 132 clamps the luggage. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the detection piece 135 triggers the photoelectric induction unit 134, so that the pair of clamping arm assemblies 13 stop approaching each other, which is beneficial to keeping a relatively constant pressure on the luggage by the pair of side belt conveyors 132.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , a ball screw linear module 121 and a power unit 122 are provided on the support cross beam 12, the power unit 122 is connected to the ball screw linear module 121, and a pair of clamping arm assemblies 13 are connected to the ball screw linear module 121.

[0036] It can be understood that the power unit 122 includes a servo motor or a stepper motor, and of course, it can also include a speed reducer connected to the motor. The ball screw linear module 121 is bidirectionally driven, that is, the pair of clamping arm assemblies 13 can be simultaneously controlled to approach or move away from each other by the power unit 122, and how to achieve coordinated cooperation.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer toFigure 9 The second conveying device 21 includes a conveying device body 212, a turning shaft 213, a pedestal bearing 214, and a turning power unit (not shown in the figure). The conveying device body 212 is disposed on the turning shaft 213. The turning shaft 213 is disposed within the pedestal bearing 214. The turning power unit is connected to the turning shaft 213.

[0038] It can be understood that the turning power unit can drive the conveying device body 212 to turn towards the side close to the first conveying device 11, so that it is convenient for maintenance when the sealing and locking mechanism is damaged. The turning power unit can be a servo motor or a stepper motor.

[0039] The present application also provides a sealing and locking method based on AI vision. Based on the above-mentioned sealing and locking device 100 based on AI vision, the sealing and locking method based on AI vision includes the steps of: Obtaining a luggage image in real time; Performing real-time analysis of the deflection angle α of the luggage image; Adjusting the luggage according to the transmission differential speed of the two side belt conveyors 132 based on the luggage deflection angle α; Sealing and locking the luggage after the deflection angle is adjusted.

[0040] It can be understood that the luggage image can be a standard top-down view image of the luggage, or a relative top-down view image with a certain offset relative to the standard top-down view image, aiming to reflect the overall deflection angle α of the luggage through the luggage image.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the luggage stops moving after entering the first conveying device 11, the transmission differential speed of the two side belt conveyors 132 is controlled according to the luggage deflection angle α to adjust the luggage deflection angle α so that the luggage is corrected. Specifically, the two side belt conveyors 132 can be controlled to rotate in opposite directions to form a large speed difference, and two opposite-direction frictional forces are applied to both sides of the luggage.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present application, the method for performing real-time analysis of the deflection angle of the luggage image includes the steps of: Obtaining a luggage target in real time based on the luggage image; Obtaining the minimum bounding rectangle of the luggage target; Calculating the deflection angle α using the minimum rectangle.

[0043] It can be understood that the obtaining of the luggage target can be based on a deep learning target detection model, or detected by image difference method. When obtaining the minimum bounding rectangle of the luggage target, the direction of the luggage target can be adapted, and then the deflection angle α is calculated by converting it into a geometric problem.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present application, a method for calculating the deflection angle α of the minimum bounding rectangle includes the steps of: Taking the luggage transmission direction as the reference direction; Detecting the end features of the luggage target to determine the top and bottom ends of the luggage target; Determining the deflection angle α in the vector state of the minimum circumscribed rectangle according to the relative positions of the top and bottom ends.

[0045] It can be understood that the end features should be understood as the bottom features and top features of the luggage. For example, the bottom features include wheels, and the top features include handles and pull rods, etc. In this way, the top and bottom ends of the luggage target can be determined by using deep learning object detection. Thus, after obtaining the minimum circumscribed rectangle, the direction of the luggage can also be determined to obtain the deflection angle α in the vector state.

[0046] Further, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 A method for controlling the transmission differential speed of two side belt conveyors 132 to adjust the luggage according to the luggage deflection angle α includes the steps of: Detecting the front and back sides of the luggage target. When the front side of the luggage is facing up, output A = 0; when the back side of the luggage is facing up, output A = 1; Normalizing the deflection angle α so that α ∈ (-π, π]; The angle of rotation of the luggage by controlling the transmission differential speed of two side belt conveyors 132 is β, where .

[0047] It can be understood that on the basis of obtaining the deflection angle α in the vector state, the front and back sides of the luggage target are also detected. In this way, two luggage attitude parameters, namely the deflection angle α and the front and back sides, can be obtained simultaneously. After normalizing the deflection angle α, the direct effect of using the above formula is that the angle can be adjusted for all possible luggage attitude situations, and it is ensured that the opening and closing side of the adjusted luggage is always on the same side with the minimum rotation angle.

[0048] Thus, the effect of combining the sealing and locking section 20 is as follows: when the adjusted luggage reaches the second conveying device 21, after the sealing and locking mechanism 22 of the sealing and locking section 20 seals and locks the adjusted luggage, it can ensure that the locked position is uniformly located on the opening and closing side of the luggage, improving the automation standard of the sealing and locking process, facilitating the implementation of automatic unlocking, identification, and detection. On the other hand, the anti-tampering detection mechanism of the sealing lock can be fully utilized. For example, in a customs sealing lock control system with the publication number CN218974925U, it is stated that when a passenger forcibly and illegally opens the luggage, the gesture sensor at the bottom of the sealing lock fails to sense an object, and the sensing information of the gesture sensor can be sent to the background through the Bluetooth on-board antenna to prompt the staff to stop the passenger's behavior in a timely manner.

[0049] It is worth supplementing that in this embodiment, the luggage transmission direction is used as the reference direction. When β > 0, it can be understood as clockwise rotation, and when β < 0, it can be understood as counterclockwise rotation.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, when |β| > 90°, the rotation angle of the luggage is relatively large. In order to complete the entire rotation process of the luggage using the pair of side belt conveyors 132, the pair of side belt conveyors 132 need to go through a process of first separating and then clamping, rather than a continuous clamping process. However, during the separation process, there are situations of idling and jamming of the side belt conveyors 132. The so-called idling means that the side belt conveyors 132 do not form effective contact with the luggage, without friction or forming sliding friction, and only the side belt conveyors 132 rotate while the luggage does not rotate. The so-called jamming means that the pressure between the side belt conveyors 132 and the luggage is too large, and the rotation space of the luggage is insufficient, forming sliding friction, causing wear and extrusion to the luggage.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 together. To solve the above problems, the minimum circumscribed rectangle of the luggage target is obtained, the width change of the minimum circumscribed rectangle is detected in real time, and the distance between the pair of side belt conveyors 132 is dynamically adjusted so that the width of the minimum circumscribed rectangle changes synchronously with the distance between the pair of side belt conveyors 132.

[0052] It can be understood that the minimum circumscribed rectangle should be understood in the usual sense of those skilled in the art. It is different from the above-mentioned minimum circumscribed rectangle. In this embodiment, that is, the minimum circumscribed rectangle does not rotate with the rotation of the luggage target. In this case, the width of the minimum circumscribed rectangle should be understood as the length perpendicular to the luggage transmission direction. After the pair of side belt conveyors 132 start to rotate the luggage, the width change of the minimum circumscribed rectangle is detected in real time, and the distance between the pair of side belt conveyors 132 is dynamically adjusted, so that the width of the minimum circumscribed rectangle can change synchronously with the distance between the pair of side belt conveyors 132.

[0053] In this way, during this process, the distance between a pair of side belt conveyors 132 can be changed in real time and dynamically to adapt to the attitude change of the luggage, providing just the right space for the rotation of the luggage, and at the same time, continuously providing the static friction required for the rotation of the luggage to protect the integrity of the luggage.

[0054] To further make the side belt conveyor 132 adapt to the attitude change of the luggage and improve the efficiency of sealing and locking, please refer to Figure 6 to obtain the real-time transmission speed V1 of the first conveying device 11, and set the standard rated differential speed V2 and the compensation rated differential speed V3; then the transmission speeds of the two side belt conveyors 132 are speed1 and speed2 respectively, where .

[0055] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the transmission speed of each side belt conveyor 132 is split into three dimensions for control. The actual transmission speed of each side belt conveyor 132 is affected by the speeds of 3 dimensions, and the influence relationships are different.

[0056] Regarding the first dimension, the real-time transmission speed V1 is determined by the first conveying device 11. That is, when the two side belt conveyors 132 move at the real-time transmission speed V1 respectively, there is pressure between the two side belt conveyors 132 and the luggage, but the friction force is zero.

[0057] Regarding the second dimension, assuming that when adjusting the attitude of the luggage, the first conveying device 11 stops moving and the pressure is regarded as constant, the two side belt conveyors 132 can keep the luggage rotating by the static friction force at the speeds of V2 and -V2 respectively. The standard rated differential speed V2 can be set according to the friction coefficient of the general luggage surface. In a preferred embodiment, by gradually increasing the speed difference between the two side belt conveyors 132 until the rotation speed of the luggage reaches the maximum speed (that is, the critical value when the static friction is converted into sliding friction), the speed at this time is used as the standard rated differential speed V2 to pursue the maximum efficiency and at the same time be able to adapt to luggage with different friction coefficients.

[0058] However, when fusing the real-time transmission speed V1 of the first dimension and the standard rated differential speed V2 of the second dimension in the test environment, since the luggage is usually rectangular, the width change rate of the minimum circumscribed positive rectangle frame fluctuates during the rotation process, and it is difficult to keep synchronous when using visual detection to control the moving speed of the clamping arm assembly 13. During the luggage adjustment process, the side belt conveyor 132 has the situation of idling and jamming, and the theoretically superposed effect cannot be achieved. To solve this combination obstacle, finally, the third dimension is introduced. The third dimension is that the speed difference can be compensated by using V3×︱sinβ︱, so that the width change rate of the minimum circumscribed positive rectangle frame remains relatively constant during the rotation process.

[0059] In this way, when a pair of side belt conveyors 132 move respectively at transmission speeds speed1 and speed2 after superimposing three dimensions, the following purposes can be achieved: while the luggage is in a conveying state, the pair of side belt conveyors 132 continuously apply two static frictions in opposite directions to the luggage to adjust the posture of the luggage. Finally, the beneficial effects of protecting the integrity of the luggage and improving the efficiency of sealing and locking are achieved.

[0060] Preferably, after the angle of the luggage is adjusted in place, let speed1 = speed2 = V1, and a pair of side belt conveyors remain stationary, and hold the luggage in a clamped state and convey it to the second conveying device to ensure that no deflection occurs during the process of entering the second conveying device.

[0061] In all the above embodiments, the rotation angle of the luggage is adjusted by the speed difference between the pair of side belt conveyors 132 of the clamping arm assembly 13, but the front and back of the luggage cannot be adjusted. In order to further standardize the posture of the luggage, in another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 simultaneously. If the output A = 1, after adjusting the angle of the luggage, the following steps are further included: When the luggage after adjusting the angle is conveyed to the second conveying device 21, the second conveying device 21 performs a rotation operation of more than 90 degrees to turn the luggage over.

[0062] It can be understood that if the output A = 1, it means that the back of the luggage is facing up. When the luggage is conveyed to the second conveying device 21, the flipping function of the second conveying device 21 can also be used to turn the luggage over, so as to realize the simultaneous adjustment of the rotation angle and the front and back. In a preferred embodiment, the luggage after being turned over re-enters the first conveying device 11, and the posture adjustment section 10 re-adjusts the rotation of the luggage.

[0063] In this way, the automation standard degree of the sealing and locking process is further improved. For example, after each piece of luggage is sealed and locked, its sealing position, locking position, and sealing lock direction are also consistent, which is conducive to the implementation of subsequent processes such as automatic unlocking, identification, and detection.

[0064] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
