DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1: A 3D vision accurate positioning industrial robot, reference Figures 1-11 , including a robot body 1, a connecting rod 2, a vision module 3, a rotating drum 4, a mounting plate 5, a linear motor 6, a moving frame 7, a rotating frame 8, a clamping belt 9, a synchronous wheel 91 and a support column 92. The structure of the robot body 1 is the existing technology. The robot body 1 specifically includes a base 101, a large arm 102, a small arm 103 and an end platform 104. Two symmetrical connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the end platform 104. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 2 are rotatably installed with a vision module 3. A rotating mechanism for rotating the vision module 3 is provided at the bottom of the end platform 104. The bottom of the end platform 104 is rotatably connected to a rotating drum 4 driven by a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a gear 1 41 and a gear 2 42. The upper part of the rotating drum 4 is fixedly connected to a gear 41. The side of the end platform 104 is bolted with a driving motor. The output shaft of the driving motor is connected to a gear 2 42 that meshes with a gear 1 41; a mounting plate 5 is connected to the rotating drum 4, which is hollow and has a through hole in the middle of the mounting plate 5, so that the visual module 3 can pass through the through hole to the bottom of the mounting plate 5; two moving frames 7 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 5, and two linear motors 6 are installed on the mounting plate 5. The moving frames 7 are driven by the linear motors 6 to move linearly, and the lower parts of the moving frames 7 are rotatably connected to a rotating frame 8. Synchronous wheels 91 are installed at both ends of the rotating frame 8, and a clamping belt 9 is wound around the two synchronous wheels 91 on the same side. When the synchronous wheel 91 rotates, the clamping belt 9 can rotate around the synchronous wheel 91 under the action of friction. A support column 92 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rotating frame 8, and the inner side surface of the clamping belt 9 contacts the left and right sides of the support column 92.
[0033] refer to Figure 5-Figure 7The rotating mechanism includes an electric push rod 31, a lifting rod 32 and a hinged rod 33. The bottom of the end platform 104 is bolted with an electric push rod 31. The lifting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 31. The front and rear ends of the lifting rod 32 are rotatably connected to the hinged rod 33. The bottom ends of the two hinged rods 33 are respectively rotatably connected to the sides of the two vision modules 3.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The 3D vision precise positioning industrial robot also includes a servo motor 82 and a gear set 83. The rotating frame 8 includes a rotating shaft portion 81 located in the middle thereof. The rotating frame 8 rotates around the rotating shaft portion 81, and the rotating shaft portion 81 is rotatably connected to the mobile frame 7. The lower part of the mobile frame 7 is bolted with a servo motor 82, and the output shaft of the servo motor 82 is transmitted to the adjacent rotating shaft portion 81 through a gear set 83.
[0035] First, the robot body 1 is controlled, and the end platform 104 can move in three dimensions. The conveyor belt transports the object to be captured. When the outer side of the hollow object 100 needs to be captured, the linear motor 6 is controlled to drive the two moving frames 7 to approach each other, driving the rotating frame 8 and the clamping belt 9 to move together, so that the clamping belt 9 is close to the hollow object 100 to be captured. The two clamping belts 9 clamp the hollow object 100. The driving principle of the synchronous wheel 91 is the existing technology. By controlling the rotation of the synchronous wheel 91, the clamping belt 9 rotates around the synchronous wheel 91. The hollow object 100 clamped by the clamping belt 9 is moved in the front-to-back direction so that the hollow object 100 is located directly below the visual module 13, so that the position of the hollow object 100 can be adjusted in a timely and convenient manner. At the same time, the support column 92 supports the clamping belt 9 to prevent the clamping belt 9 from deforming. Then the drive motor is controlled to drive the gear 2 42 to rotate, and the gear 1 41 rotates under the action of meshing, driving the mounting plate 5, the moving frame 7, the rotating frame 8, the clamping belt 9 and the clamped hollow object 100 to rotate as a whole. At this time, the visual module 13 can capture the image of the outside of the hollow object 100.
[0036] When it is necessary to capture the image of a long hollow object 100, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 31 is controlled to extend, driving the lifting rod 32 to descend, and the two hinged rods 33 rotate, so that the visual module 3 rotates. The state of the visual module 3 is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the rotated visual module 3 can capture images in a wider range.
[0037] When it is necessary to capture the image of the interior of the hollow object 100, the two clamping belts 9 clamp the hollow object 100. Figure 9The direction is taken as the standard, and under the transmission action of the gear set 83, the servo motor 82 is controlled to drive the rotating frame 8 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 81, driving the clamping belt 9 and the clamped hollow object 100 to rotate together, and the hollow object 100 becomes a state with the opening facing upward. Then the synchronous wheel 91 is controlled to rotate, so that the clamping belt 9 rotates around the synchronous wheel 91, and the hollow object 100 moves up, so that the visual module 3 approaches the inside of the hollow object 100 to collect the picture.
[0038] In this way, the visual module 13 can not only collect data on the outside and inside of the hollow object 100, but is also applicable to longer hollow objects 100, with a wide range of applications and more comprehensive image collection.
[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 4-Figure 8 The 3D vision precision positioning industrial robot also includes a connecting shaft 34, a placement block 35 and a sponge block 37. The two visual modules 3 are rotatably connected to the side away from each other with a connecting shaft 34. The rotation connection between the connecting shaft 34 and the visual module 3 is also provided with a damper. The damping prevents the connecting shaft 34 from rotating at will. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 34 is connected to a placement block 35. The placement block 35 is provided with a placement groove 36 that runs through from top to bottom. The shape of the placement groove 36 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, sponge blocks 37 are placed in the placement grooves 36, and the sponge blocks 37 can be replaced regularly.
[0040] After the image is collected, the placement block 35 is manually pushed to rotate 180 degrees around the connecting shaft 34. The top of the placement block 35 contacts the bottom of the visual module 3, thereby preventing the visual module 3 from dust. The sponge block 37 wipes the bottom surface of the visual module 3.
[0041] Example 3: Based on Example 2, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 12 The 3D vision precision positioning industrial robot also includes a fixed frame 111, a fixed rod 112 and a vision module 2 113. The fixed frame 111 is fixedly connected to the end platform 104, and two symmetrical fixed rods 112 are welded on the fixed frame 111. The ends of the fixed rods 112 are rotatably installed with vision modules 2 113, and the vision module 2 113 is specifically driven by a motor; a circle of light beads 13 are installed at intervals at the bottom of the fixed frame 111.
[0042] When it is necessary to capture images of larger objects, the control drive motor drives gear 2 42 to rotate, and gear 1 41 rotates under the action of meshing, driving the mounting plate 5, movable frame 7, rotating frame 8, clamping belt 9 and the clamped object to rotate as a whole. At the same time, the motor is controlled to rotate the vision module 2 113 to adjust the angle of the vision module 2 113. The vision module 2 113 captures images of larger objects to avoid the outer side of larger objects from being unable to be captured, thereby increasing the range of image capture; the lamp beads 13 can also provide stronger light, which is conducive to capturing images of the interior of the hollow object 100.
[0043] Example 4: Based on Example 3, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 13 The 3D vision precision positioning industrial robot also includes a supporting mechanism, which includes a guide rod 121, a support plate 122 and an electric push rod 123. The two rotating frames 8 are fixedly connected to a pair of guide rods 121 on the side away from each other, and a support plate 122 is slidably connected between each pair of guide rods 121. The two support plates 122 are provided with an inclined surface on the side close to each other, and a pair of electric push rods 123 are bolted to the side away from each other of the two rotating frames 8. The telescopic rods of the electric push rods 123 are fixedly connected to an adjacent support plate 122; the front parts of the support plates 122 are bent upward to form a bending portion 1221.
[0044] When the two clamping belts 9 clamp the hollow object 100, the telescopic rod of the second electric push rod 123 is controlled to shorten, driving the two support plates 122 to move closer to each other. The support plates 122 move to the bottom of the hollow object 100 through the action of the inclined surface. The support plates 122 play a supporting role to prevent the hollow object 100 from slipping off the clamping belts 9; when the rotating frame 8 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 81, the support plates 122 rotate together with the rotating frame 8, and the bent portion 1221 of the support plate 122 can continue to support the bottom of the hollow object 100, thereby facilitating image capture of the object.
[0045] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
