[0025] In some embodiments, the first slide 210 may include a first through hole, a second through hole, and a third through hole located between the first through hole and the second through hole, and the third through hole is a threaded hole; the first guide rail slide module 20 may also include: a first base 220, the first base 220 extending from the bottom of the shell 10 to the top of the shell 10; a first lead screw 230, which is connected to the first slide 210 through the third through hole, and the first lead screw 230 extends from one end of the first base 220 to the other end of the first base 220; a first guide rod 240, which is connected to the first slide 210 through the third through hole. The first guide rod 240 is connected to the first slide 210 through the first through hole, and extends from one end of the first base 220 to the other end of the first base 220; the second guide rod 250 is connected to the first slide 210 through the second through hole, and extends from one end of the first base 220 to the other end of the first base 220; the first driving module 260 is arranged at one end of the first base 220, and the driving end of the first driving module 260 is fixedly connected to one end of the first screw 230, and the first driving module 260 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the first guide rail slide module in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that when the first drive module 260 drives the first lead screw 230 to rotate, the first slide 210 will move up and down. The movement direction of the first slide 210 can be from the bottom of the shell 10 to the top of the shell 10, or from the top of the shell 10 to the bottom of the shell 10. Since the first slide 210 can drive the rangefinder 40 and the camera 30 to move synchronously, the distance between the camera 30 and the strip can be adjusted. In addition, the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 are both arranged inside the shell 10. The camera 30 can be an industrial camera 30, and the rangefinder 40 can be an infrared rangefinder 40 or a laser rangefinder 40, etc. The detection distance of the rangefinder 40 can be the average value after multiple measurements, and the detection distance of the rangefinder 40 is the distance between the rangefinder 40 and the strip.

[0028] It should be noted that the distance between the rangefinder 40 and the storage plate 110 may be equal to or different from the distance between the camera 30 and the storage plate 110. If the distance between the rangefinder 40 and the storage plate 110 is equal to the distance between the camera 30 and the storage plate 110, when adjusting the distance, if the detection distance of the rangefinder 40 is equal to the preset target distance, it can be determined that the distance between the camera 30 and the steel strip has reached the preset target distance. If the distance between the rangefinder 40 and the storage plate 110 is not equal to the distance between the camera 30 and the storage plate 110, when adjusting the distance, whether the distance between the camera 30 and the steel strip has reached the preset target distance can be determined based on the relative height difference between the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40, the detection distance, and the preset target distance.

[0029] It should be noted that the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 are both mechanically connected to the first slide 210, and the mechanical connection includes direct connection and indirect connection. Regarding direct connection, the first slide 210 may be provided with a mounting hole, and the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 may be directly connected to the first slide 210 through the mounting hole. Regarding indirect connection, the connecting member may be first connected to the first slide 210, and then the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 may be connected to the connecting member. The connecting member may also be in various forms, for example, the connecting member may be a connecting block 50 or a second guide rail slide module 60, which will be described in detail below:

[0030] In some embodiments, the defect identification system for strip steel may further include: a connecting block 50, which is arranged inside the shell 10, one end of the connecting block 50 is fixedly connected to the first slide 210, and the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 are arranged on the connecting block 50.

[0031] It should be noted that the connection block 50 can refer to Figure 1 shown.

[0032] In other embodiments, the defect identification system for strip steel may further include: a second guide rail slide module 60, electrically connected to the controller, the extension direction of the second guide rail slide module 60 is parallel to the plane where the storage plate 110 is located, and the first end of the second guide rail slide module 60 is fixedly connected to the first slide 210; the second guide rail slide module 60 includes a second slide 610, and the camera 30 is arranged on the second slide 610.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3This is a second schematic diagram of a strip steel defect recognition system according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that during the camera 30's capture process, images may be unclear due to, for example, reflections. To address this issue, the embodiment of the present invention includes a second guide rail slide module 60, allowing the camera 30 to capture images at different horizontal positions. This allows the camera 30 to be positioned optimally for capturing images, thus avoiding image blurring due to reflections and improving the clarity of images captured by the camera 30.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second slide 610 includes a fourth through hole, a fifth through hole and a sixth through hole located between the fourth through hole and the fifth through hole, and the sixth through hole is a threaded hole; the second guide rail slide module 60 may also include: a second base, the extension direction of the second base is parallel to the plane where the storage plate 110 is located, and the first end of the second base is fixedly connected to the first slide 210; a second lead screw, which is connected to the second slide 610 through the sixth through hole, and the second lead screw extends from one end of the second base to the other end of the second base; a third guide rod, which is connected to the second slide 610 through the fourth through hole, and the third guide rod extends from one end of the second base to the other end of the second base; a fourth guide rod, which is connected to the second slide 610 through the fifth through hole, and the fourth guide rod extends from one end of the second base to the other end of the second base; a second drive module, which is arranged at one end of the second base, the drive end of the second drive module is fixedly connected to one end of the second lead screw, and the second drive module is electrically connected to the controller.

[0035] It should be noted that when the second drive module drives the second lead screw to rotate, the second slide 610 will move left and right, and the movement direction of the second slide 610 can be parallel to the plane of the storage plate 110. Since the camera 30 is disposed on the second slide 610, the movement of the second slide 610 can drive the camera 30. It should also be noted that the rangefinder 40 can be disposed on the second slide 610. In this case, the second slide 610 can drive the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 to move synchronously, and the relative position of the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 does not change when the second slide 610 moves. The rangefinder 40 can also be disposed at a fixed position on the second guide rail slide module 60 other than the second slide 610. In this case, the second slide 610 cannot drive the rangefinder 40 to move synchronously, and the relative position of the camera 30 and the rangefinder 40 changes when the second slide 610 moves.

[0036] In some embodiments, the defect identification system for strip steel may further include: a first fill light 70 electrically connected to the controller and disposed on a side of the second slide 610 close to the first slide 210 , with the first fill light 70 facing the storage plate 110 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the defect identification system for strip steel may further include: a second fill light 80, electrically connected to the controller and arranged on a side of the second slide 610 away from the first slide 210, the camera 30 is located between the first fill light 70 and the second fill light 80, and the second fill light 80 faces the storage plate 110.

[0038] In some embodiments, the illumination center axis direction of the first fill light 70 is parallel to the lens orientation of the camera 30, and the angle deviation between the first angle and the second angle is less than a preset angle deviation threshold. The first angle is the angle between the illumination center axis direction of the first fill light 70 and the plane where the storage plate 110 is located, and the second angle is the angle between the illumination center axis direction of the second fill light 80 and the plane where the storage plate 110 is located.

[0039] It should be noted that the first angle and the second angle may be equal.

[0040] In some embodiments, the defect recognition system for strip steel may further include: an image processing device electrically connected to the controller; the controller is further used to: control the first fill light 70 to turn on and the second fill light 80 to turn off after the distance between the camera 30 and the strip steel reaches a preset target distance; control the second slide 610 to move in a first moving direction so that the camera 30 can photograph the strip steel to obtain a first set of images; after obtaining the first set of images, control the first fill light 70 to turn off and the second fill light 80 to turn on; after the first fill light 70 is turned off and the second fill light 80 is turned on, control the second slide 610 to move in a second moving direction so that the camera 30 can photograph the strip steel to obtain a second set of images, and the second moving direction is opposite to the first moving direction; control the image processing device to process the first set of images and the second set of images to obtain defect information of the strip steel.

[0041] In some embodiments, the process of controlling the second slide 610 to move in the first moving direction so that the camera 30 can capture the steel strip to obtain the first set of images can include: controlling the camera 30 to capture one image each time the second slide 610 moves a preset distance in the first moving direction, thereby obtaining the first set of images. The process of controlling the second slide 610 to move in the second moving direction so that the camera 30 can capture one image each time the second slide 610 moves a preset distance in the second moving direction, thereby obtaining the second set of images.

[0042] In some embodiments, controlling the image processing device to process the first group of images and the second group of images to obtain defect information of the steel strip includes: controlling the image processing device to process the first group of images to obtain first defect information of the steel strip; controlling the image processing device to process the second group of images to obtain second defect information of the steel strip; filtering out duplicate information in the first defect information of the steel strip and the second defect information of the steel strip to obtain defect information of the steel strip.

[0043] It should be noted that if there is reflection at the strip position in the first set of images, there is no reflection at the strip position in the second set of images. The reason is explained below: the first set of images was acquired with the first fill light 70 on and the second fill light 80 off, while the second set of images was acquired with the first fill light 70 off and the second fill light 80 on. Furthermore, since the illumination axis of the first fill light 70 is parallel to the lens orientation of the camera 30, and the angular deviation between the first angle and the second angle is less than a preset angular deviation threshold, it can be determined that the first and second sets of images have opposite fill light conditions. Therefore, there are no strip positions with simultaneous reflections in the first and second sets of images. Since there are no strip positions with simultaneous reflections in the first and second sets of images, the first and second sets of images can accurately reflect defect information. The image processing device is then controlled to process the first and second sets of images to obtain strip defect information, avoiding the omission of defect information due to reflections and thereby improving the accuracy of strip defect identification.

[0044] In some embodiments, the defect identification system for strip steel may further include: a third guide rail slide module 90, which is electrically connected to the controller and is arranged on the second inner wall of the shell 10, the second inner wall is opposite to the first inner wall, and the extension direction of the third guide rail slide module 90 is from the bottom of the shell 10 to the top of the shell 10, the first guide rail slide module 20, the second guide rail slide module 60 and the third guide rail slide module 90 are located in the same plane; the third guide rail slide module 90 includes a third slide 910, and the second end of the second guide rail slide module 60 is fixedly connected to the third slide 910; the controller is also used to: based on the detection distance and the preset target distance, control the first slide 210 and the third slide 910 to move synchronously so that the distance between the camera 30 and the strip steel reaches the preset target distance.

[0045] refer to Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a third schematic diagram of the defect recognition system for strip steel in an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the second guide rail slide module 60 can be driven to move up and down only by the first guide rail slide module 20, but there is a problem of poor movement stability, and unilateral fixation is prone to shaking. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a third guide rail slide module 90, and the second guide rail slide module 60 is driven to move up and down by the third guide rail slide module 90 and the first guide rail slide module 20 at the same time, thereby improving the movement stability of the camera 30, avoiding shaking, and improving the clarity of the image captured by the camera 30.

[0046] It should be noted that the structures of the first guide rail slide module 20, the second guide rail slide module 60 and the third guide rail slide module 90 are similar and can be referred to. Figure 2 shown.

Due to the provision of the first guide rail slide module 20, the camera 30 can move up and down to adjust the distance between the camera 30 and the steel strip, thereby placing the camera 30 at the optimal shooting height, which can improve the clarity of the image captured by the camera 30, thereby avoiding the problem of defect information errors caused by unclear images. Furthermore, when the image processing device processes an image, if the image processing device has preset the area size represented by each pixel in the image, the area size represented by each pixel will vary depending on the camera 30's position at different heights. Therefore, the distance between the camera 30 and the steel strip must be adjusted to the preset target distance so that the pixels in the image captured by the camera 30 match the preset conditions of the image processing device. This prevents the defect size determined in the image from being inconsistent with the actual defect size. This improves the accuracy of the steel strip defect information.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
