In particular, when the fabric becomes skewed or wrinkled, the printing equipment needs to be stopped for adjustment, and the steps are cumbersome. The auxiliary adjustment robot structure currently used can easily cause damage to the fabric when processing the skewed or wrinkled position.

However, the device in the above document has large deviations and instability during use, resulting in technical problems such as low processing accuracy; 2.

Patent document US4610150A discloses knitted fabrics, and the knitting method and machine are the same, but the device in the above document has a technical problem that the fabric conveying tension cannot be guaranteed, resulting in wrinkles during the processing; 4. Patent document CN113201924A discloses a fabric defect detection system based on machine vision, but the device in the above document has a technical problem of low processing accuracy. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a fabric auxiliary adjustment robot mechanism based on a printing device to solve the technical problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a fabric auxiliary adjustment robot mechanism based on a printing device, comprising a frame assembly, a printing execution unit and a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, wherein the top of the frame assembly is respectively provided with a printing execution unit and a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, and the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator comprises a multi-axis drive module, a flexible execution terminal, a quick-change connection mechanism, an all-in-one detection system and an intelligent control system; The multi-axis drive module includes a lateral movement module, a multi-degree-of-freedom joint module, and a terminal rotation joint. The lateral movement module is driven by a magnetic levitation linear motor. The multi-degree-of-freedom joint module includes a number of series-connected drive joints, and each drive joint is equipped with a high-precision encoder and a harmonic reducer. One end of the multi-degree-of-freedom joint module is installed on the outer wall of the lateral movement module. The terminal rotation joint uses a strain-type torque sensor to real-time feedback the rotation torque and deflection angle; The flexible execution terminal is connected to the end of the multi-axis drive module. The flexible execution terminal includes an adsorption component and / or a clamping component. The adsorption component is arranged with vacuum suckers and electric field adsorption units at intervals, and the adsorption surface of the electric field adsorption unit is covered with a flexible conductive silica gel layer. The clamping component uses a three-finger flexible gripper driven by piezoelectric ceramics, and a force sensor is integrated at the fingertips of the three-finger flexible gripper; The quick-change connection mechanism is arranged between the multi-axis drive module and the flexible execution terminal, and includes an electromagnetic locking unit and an automatic alignment guide pin. The electromagnetic locking unit uses a combination of Halbach array permanent magnets and electromagnetic coils to achieve millisecond-level locking / release. The automatic alignment guide pin is provided with a guide surface and an infrared positioning mark; The connection process of the quick-change connection mechanism is as follows: When the flexible execution terminal approaches the end of the multi-axis drive module, the infrared transmitter and receiver on the guide pin communicate, calculate the relative position deviation through the triangulation method. The conical guide surface of the guide pin guides the execution terminal to be initially aligned, eliminating the position error within ±2mm. The electromagnetic coil is energized, and the Halbach array permanent magnet generates a unilateral enhanced magnetic field (magnetic field strength ≥0.8T), adsorbing the execution terminal to the docking surface, reducing the distance to 0.1 - 0.5mm (non-contact preloading). The eddy current effect generated by the magnetic field change suppresses mechanical vibration to ensure stable adsorption. Subsequently, the electromagnetic locking unit is energized, the coil current reverses and increases, and the magnetic field strength of the Halbach array suddenly increases (reaching 1.5T) to achieve millisecond-level (<10ms) hard locking. The locking force is monitored by a magnetic flux sensor, and after reaching the threshold (such as 500N), a success signal is sent to the intelligent control system; The disconnection process of the quick-change connection mechanism is as follows: Input a reverse pulse current (lasting 5 - 10ms) to cancel the inherent magnetic field of the Halbach array, so that the locking force suddenly drops to a safe threshold (<50N). The pre-compressed spring inside the guide pin releases energy (energy storage coefficient k = 200N / mm), pushing the execution terminal away from the drive module, and the separation speed reaches 0.5m / s. The coil is fed with a decaying alternating current to eliminate the residual magnetism (residual magnetism <0.01T) to avoid interfering with subsequent operations. The infrared positioning system is recalibrated to prepare for the next connection.
[0006] Preferably, the multi-in-one detection system is integrated into a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, including a vision detection unit and a tensile force detection unit.

The motion correction module is used to automatically adjust the moving path of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator according to the prediction result. The force adjustment module is used to intelligently control the grasping force according to the data collected by the tensile force detection unit to avoid damaging the fabric.

The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is installed with a moving block, and the outer wall of the moving block is movably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove. A rotating shaft is fitted and installed on one side of the moving block, and a guiding roller is installed inside the rotating shaft.

The tension balance controller is embedded in the adsorption component and / or clamping component of the flexible execution terminal. The tension balance controller is electrically connected to the force sensor and is configured with a closed-loop feedback circuit for dynamically adjusting the adsorption force.
[0013] Preferably, the working steps of the fabric auxiliary adjustment robot mechanism based on the printing equipment are as follows: S1. The lateral movement module quickly resets to the reference point of the frame assembly through the magnetic levitation linear motor. The high-speed camera of the vision detection unit is started to scan the working area in cooperation with the annular supplementary light. The laser measuring instrument establishes a three-dimensional space coordinate system. The tension detection unit uses the fiber optic sensor to collect the initial fabric tension data and records it as a reference threshold through the intelligent control system. S2. The vision detection unit is used to analyze the fabric texture and thickness, and the intelligent control system selects the adsorption or clamping strategy: Adsorption mode: The electric field adsorption unit activates the flexible conductive silica gel layer, and the vacuum chuck assists in fixing the thin and light fabric. Clamping mode: The three-finger flexible gripper driven by the piezoelectric ceramic adaptively adjusts the clamping force to avoid damaging the thick or elastic fabric. S3. When the printing execution unit performs printing, the laser measuring instrument scans the pattern edge to detect the positioning error. The multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator finely adjusts the fabric position in real time, and the end rotating joint avoids stretching deformation through the torque sensor. S4.

Train the model through historical data to predict the fabric deformation trend and optimize the path planning algorithm.
[0014] Preferably, the following steps are further included in the S1: S11. The vision detection unit captures the subtle deformations (including wrinkles and offsets) during the fabric transmission process. The fiber optic sensor monitors the tension fluctuations in real time. When it detects that the tension exceeds the preset threshold, it triggers an intervention instruction for the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention uses a multi-axis drive module driven by a magnetic suspension linear motor in combination with a number of serially connected drive joints and terminal torque sensors to ensure zero deviation in the alignment of the printing execution unit. Then, through the adsorption component, the vacuum suction cup and the electric field adsorption unit are alternately arranged, combined with the piezoelectric ceramic three-finger flexible clamp, which can not only adapt to the characteristics of different fabrics such as silk and knitting, but also flexibly clamp to avoid mechanical damage. The Halbach electromagnetic quick-change mechanism supports rapid tool switching, and cooperates with the infrared positioning guide pin to improve the docking accuracy of the tooling. In combination with the real-time data acquisition of the all-in-one detection system and the closed-loop feedback of the intelligent control system, the motion trajectory of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator can be dynamically optimized to form an integrated coordination of "perception-decision-execution", significantly improve the stability and yield rate of complex printing processes, and achieve the effect of improving efficiency, accuracy and intelligence. 2.

The intelligent control system establishes a fabric deformation trend model through a fabric deformation prediction module, drives the motion correction module to optimize the moving path of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator in real time, and at the same time, the force adjustment module dynamically adjusts the clamping parameters according to the tension distribution data, forming a closed-loop control of "monitoring-prediction-execution", so that the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator can still maintain precise force control during high-speed movement, thereby eliminating the defects of wrinkles and slippage, and providing alignment guarantee for the printing process; 3. The present invention forms a stable and open working space by extending the horizontal support plate along the fabric transmission direction and cooperating with the cross-layout layout of the gantry bracket, which not only ensures the rigidity requirement of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator for lateral movement, but also provides sufficient operating depth for dynamic adjustment of the fabric. The first bracket integrates a double-station collecting roller, and the second bracket cooperates with the hydraulic cylinder to drive the position of the guide roller group, which is conducive to ensuring the tension of the fabric transmission, thereby achieving the effect of reducing wrinkles; 4. The present invention integrates the bottom fixing seat and the horizontal support plate, and cooperates with the liftable screen positioning mechanism, which is conducive to the rapid adaptation of screen frames of different specifications. The microporous negative pressure adsorption layer of the printing platform adopts a combination of a honeycomb porous ceramic substrate and a partitioned controllable vacuum device, which is conducive to forming an independent negative pressure control area, which can not only improve the uniformity of substrate adsorption, but also compensate for material deformation through partitioned pressure adjustment, thereby achieving the effect of improving the accuracy of the printing execution unit.

Through the settings of the multi-in-one detection system 7 and the intelligent control system 8, the vision detection unit 19 uses a 20 million-pixel CMOS camera in cooperation with a laser measuring instrument 22 to capture the fabric texture deformation at a frame rate of ≥120fps with the assistance of a ring-shaped fill light. Combined with the fiber optic sensors 23 arranged by the tensile force detection unit 20, it realizes the dual-modal perception of the fabric tension field and dynamic deformation. The intelligent control system 8 establishes a fabric deformation trend model through the fabric deformation prediction module 24, drives the motion correction module 25 to optimize the movement path of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 3 in real time, and at the same time, the force adjustment module 26 dynamically adjusts the clamping parameters according to the tensile force distribution data, forming a closed-loop control of "monitoring - prediction - execution", enabling the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 3 to maintain precise force control during high-speed movement, thereby eliminating defects such as wrinkles and slippage, and providing alignment guarantee for the printing process. By extending the horizontal support plate 27 along the fabric transmission direction and cooperating with the cross-set layout of the gantry support 28, a stable and open working space is formed, which not only ensures the rigid requirements for the lateral movement of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 3, but also provides sufficient operating depth for the dynamic adjustment of the fabric. The first support 34 integrates a double-station collecting roller 35, and the second support 36 cooperates with the hydraulic cylinder 38 to drive the position of the guide roller 41 group, which is beneficial to ensuring the tension of the fabric transmission, and thus achieving the effect of reducing wrinkles. Through the integrated installation of the bottom fixing seat 30 and the horizontal support plate 27, in cooperation with the liftable screen plate positioning mechanism, it is beneficial to quickly adapt to different specifications of screen frames. The microporous negative pressure adsorption layer 33 of the printing platform 32, which uses a honeycomb-shaped porous ceramic substrate combined with a partition-controlled vacuum device, is beneficial to form an independent negative pressure control area, which can not only improve the adsorption uniformity of the printing substrate, but also compensate for material deformation through partition pressure adjustment, achieving the effect of improving the accuracy of the printing execution unit 2. Through the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 3 integrating a pre-positioning execution module, a fine-tuning execution mechanism, and a tension balance controller, the pre-positioning execution module achieves rapid response through visual feature point matching, the fine-tuning execution mechanism achieves positioning accuracy with the help of the laser measuring instrument 22, and the tension balance controller realizes the dynamic distribution of the adsorption force through the force sensor array, reducing the adsorption deformation amount of the thin and light fabric.This multi-module structure collaborative working mechanism, combined with the modular design of the guide rail bracket, enables the device to achieve nanoscale motion control while maintaining stable transportation.
