Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lifting table detection, and particularly to a method for detecting the lateral stability of a lifting table based on robotic arm mechanics and laser ranging, aiming to improve the accuracy and reliability of the stability evaluation of the lifting table. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous evolution of the modern office environment and the growing concern of people for health, the lifting table, as a flexible and efficient office furniture, has been widely used in families, offices and various workplaces, and its applicable groups cover all age groups. The core advantage of the lifting table lies in its height-adjustable feature, which can switch between sitting and standing postures according to the needs of users, so as to meet the comfort requirements in different working scenarios. In particular, standing office has been proven to help reduce health problems caused by long-term sitting, such as spinal diseases, cervical spondylosis, obesity, etc. Therefore, the lifting table is widely regarded as an important tool to improve the working environment and work efficiency.

[0003] However, in the actual use process of the lifting table, its stability has always been the core concern of consumers and manufacturers. Especially when the desktop height is adjusted to a relatively high position, the lateral stability of the table becomes particularly crucial. If the stability of the lifting table is insufficient, it will not only affect the user experience, but may even pose a safety hazard. Therefore, how to accurately and effectively measure the lateral stability of the lifting table has become the key to improving product quality, enhancing user experience and ensuring use safety.

[0004] Currently, the stability detection methods of most lifting tables on the market rely on manual tests. This method usually manually pushes the desktop and visually estimates the shaking amplitude of the desktop. However, manual testing has significant limitations, mainly reflected in the size and angle of the applied force and the subjective judgment differences of the testers, resulting in poor repeatability and reliability of the test results. In addition, the existing traditional detection methods lack a unified standard and evaluation system, making it impossible for each manufacturer to convey the stability data of the product in a professional and standardized manner, thus making it difficult for consumers to conduct effective product comparison and selection.

[0005] In summary, the current situation of the lifting table stability test urgently needs to be optimized, especially a more accurate, objective and standardized detection method is needed to meet the market demand for high-quality and reliable lifting tables. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for detecting the lateral stability of a lifting table based on robotic arm mechanics and laser ranging. This method combines robotic arm mechanics and laser ranging technologies, and through mechanical force application and displacement measurement, realizes high-precision detection of the lateral stability performance of the lifting table.

[0028] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figure 1-2 shown, the present invention provides a method for detecting the lateral stability of a lifting table based on robotic arm mechanics and laser ranging, mainly including the following parts:

[0030] (1) The robotic arm 2 and the force sensor 4 are used to apply a predetermined constant force to the lifting table to be measured, and the force applied is monitored in real time through the force sensor 4.

[0031] (2) The laser distance sensor 3: is used to accurately measure the position data of the lifting table 1 under the action of force to ensure the accuracy of the displacement data.

[0032] (3) The data acquisition and analysis system: real-time collects the data signals from the force sensor 4 and the laser distance sensor 3, and generates a displacement curve through data analysis software to further analyze the lateral stability of the lifting table.

[0033] It includes the following steps:

[0034] S1: Place the lifting table at the position to be measured, integrate the robotic arm 2 with the force sensor 4 on the side of the tabletop to be measured, the robotic arm control cabinet 5 is used to control the robotic arm 2, the force sensor 4 and the laser distance sensor 3, the laser distance sensor 3 is vertically aligned with the side of the tabletop to be measured, and the laser ranging point is located on the side of the tabletop;

[0035] Specifically, first assemble the robotic arm 2 and integrate the force sensor 4 at the end of the robotic arm 2.

[0036] As an alternative implementation, the model of the robotic arm 2 adopted in this solution is Universal Robots UR10e, and the force sensor 4 is of Futek LCLD series.

[0037] Place the height-adjustable table on the ground, and place the frame of the robotic arm 2 on one side of the height-adjustable table so that the robotic arm 2 can apply a constant force in the horizontal direction to the tabletop from the side of the tabletop.

[0038] The laser range finder sensor 3 is fixed beside the table to be measured, arranged on the same side as the robotic arm 2, vertically aligned with the side of the tabletop to be measured, and can move vertically through a lifting mechanism. The laser ranging point is within the specified range of the center of the tabletop side.

[0039] As an alternative implementation, the laser range finder sensor 3 in this solution can adopt the Panasonic HG-C series, which is suitable for precise laser ranging applications and can ensure high stability and high-precision measurement.

[0040] S2: Set the height of the height-adjustable table to 60 - 130 cm, start the robotic arm 2 and the sensors on the robotic arm 2, calibrate the force sensor 4 and the laser range finder sensor 3, and record the initial position (i.e., the reference value) of the height-adjustable table 1.

[0041] S3: The robotic arm 2 applies a constant force of 10 - 100 N to the side of the tabletop, and the laser range finder sensor 3 records the position of the tabletop after the force is applied.

[0042] Specifically, to ensure the comprehensiveness of the detection, the height-adjustable table is tested at different heights to adapt to the stability evaluation of different scenarios. Usually, the typical sitting height and standing height are tested, and the common test heights are 60 - 130 cm, so as to simulate the actual use situations of sitting and standing postures. Applying different constant forces is applicable to simulating the mechanical responses of different scenarios. Different magnitudes of constant forces include but are not limited to 10 N, 40 N, 80 N, 100 N, and the force values are used to simulate the mechanical responses of different user behaviors (such as children's learning, office work, games, etc.).

[0043] Among them, the test height for sitting posture offset is 60 - 80 cm, and the test height for standing posture offset is 80 - 130 cm.

[0044] During this process, start the robotic arm 2 and the laser range finder sensor 3, and perform necessary calibration steps to ensure that the data read by the sensors is accurate.

[0045] After the height of the height-adjustable table is set, the robotic arm 2 applies a constant force to the side of the tabletop.

[0046] The force sensor 4 monitors the applied force in real time and ensures that the force is applied stably within a preset range. The laser range finder sensor 3 measures the position data of the lifting table 1 in real time under the action of this force.

[0047] S4: The control cabinet 5 synchronously collects the position data of the force sensor 4 and the laser range finder sensor 3, calculates the offset according to the position difference of the tabletop, draws the force-displacement curve, and evaluates the lateral stability under different test conditions based on the constant force value, the offset, and the height of the lifting table.

[0048] Next, we further demonstrate the technical solution of this application through embodiments.
