To ensure the stability and space utilization of palletizing, the position of the boxes must be accurately corrected after they are packaged and before entering the palletizing process. Currently, the industry mostly uses posture correction technology that combines visual guidance with robotic arm operation, such as the solution disclosed in patent CN202410634465.6. This solution uses a gripping camera to identify the box models in different material frames, drives the robotic arm to replace the adapter suction cup, and adjusts the box position in mid-air.

[0015] The present invention also provides an adaptive box posture correction method, which is applied to the above-mentioned adaptive box posture correction system, and the specific steps include: S1: Cabinet model identification and posture prediction In the process of conveying the box from the front end to the rear end of the box supply device, the first machine vision unit identifies the length, width and initial posture of the box, and predicts the box surface in contact with the lateral conveying component of the posture initial sorting device and the box size corresponding to the box surface, thereby obtaining the side length L corresponding to the box size in a vertical form of the contacted box surface, and the predicted posture that the box can reach after passing through the posture initial sorting device, that is, the first machine vision unit collects the original image of the top surface of the box on the conveying plane of the box supply device, and then uses the YOLOv8s-seg model to quickly identify and extract the contour of the top surface of the box, and uses the minimum circumscribed matrix algorithm to obtain the long side dimension (that is, the length dimension of the box) and the short side dimension (that is, the width dimension of the box) of the top surface of the box, and then obtains the angle θ between the long side of the top surface of the box and the conveying direction of the box. When When , it is predicted that the side conveying component of the initial posture sorting device is in contact with the box surface where the long side dimension is located, and the side length L is the short side dimension. At this time, the initial posture of the box is regarded as a completely standard posture; when When , it is predicted that the plane where the long side dimension of the box is located contacts the lateral conveying component of the initial posture sorting device, and the side length L is the short side dimension; when When , it is predicted that the side conveying component of the initial posture sorting device is in contact with the box surface where the short side dimension is located, and the side length L is the long side dimension. At this time, the initial posture of the box is regarded as a completely non-standard posture; when When , it is predicted that the plane where the short side dimension of the box is located is in contact with the lateral conveying component of the initial posture sorting device, and the side length L is the long side dimension; S2: Initial arrangement of the box posture In the initial state, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is in an extended state. At this time, the opposing spacing adjustment component connected to the telescopic cylinder drives the lateral conveying component on its end side to be at the side edge position of the posture arranging mechanism. The spacing between the lateral conveying components symmetrically located at the side edge of the posture arranging mechanism is H. In the working state, the initial straightening and arranging of the box posture is achieved by adjusting the contraction amount of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder. That is, when the box reaches the conveying plane of the initial posture arranging device through the box feeding device, the contraction amount d of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is adjusted according to the side length L corresponding to the box size in a vertical form of the box surface contacted by the lateral conveying component predicted in step S1, as follows: , In order to prevent the box from being damaged due to excessive contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder, or the box from being incomplete in the initial posture adjustment process due to too small contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder retracts a certain length, and under the action of the spacing driving component and the opposite spacing adjusting component, the lateral conveying components symmetrically located at the side end edges of the posture adjustment mechanism are driven to move toward the middle position of the posture adjustment mechanism, and the posture of the box passing through the lateral conveying components is preliminarily straightened and adjusted to obtain the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment; S3: Identify and check whether the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment is completely standard The box body after step S2 continues to be transported backward on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism, and the second machine vision unit identifies the posture of the box body after step S2 to check whether the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is consistent with the predicted posture of the box body obtained in step S1. If they are inconsistent, the box body is manually removed and re-entered into the system. If they are consistent, it is further judged whether the actual posture of the box body is a completely standard posture, that is, the original image of the top surface of the box body on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism is collected by the second machine vision unit, and then the YOLOv8s-seg model is used to quickly identify and extract the contour of the top surface of the box body, and the long side dimension (that is, the length dimension of the box body) and the short side dimension (that is, the width dimension of the box body) of the top surface of the box body are obtained by the minimum circumscribed matrix algorithm, and then the angle θ between the long side of the top surface of the box body and the conveying direction of the box body is obtained. When When , the actual posture of the box is judged to be a completely standard posture. When the actual posture of the box is judged to be completely non-standard, the box is further transmitted to the posture correction device so that the posture of the box is corrected according to the judgment result; S4: Cabinet posture correction When the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely standard posture, the lifting cylinder and the rotating assembly of the posture correction device are in the initial position, that is, the movable end of the lifting cylinder is in a retracted state, and the box body is transferred to the stacking station by the roller conveyor mechanism; when the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely non-standard posture, that is, it differs from the completely standard posture by 90°, when the box body moves to the top of the correction mechanism on the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism, the photoelectric development triggers the external industrial computer to extend the movable end of the lifting cylinder, and drives the rotating assembly at its end to reach the posture adjustment position, and the rotating assembly lifts the box body and rotates 90°, thereby completing the 90° adjustment of the box body posture so that the actual posture of the box body is adjusted to a completely standard posture, and then, the movable end of the lifting cylinder retracts and drives the rotating assembly to descend, and the box body adjusted to a completely standard posture continues to reach the stacking station along the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism via the conveying plane of the extension conveyor mechanism.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The box feeding device of the present invention can identify the size contour and initial posture of the box, predict the surface of the box in contact with the side edge of the posture preliminary sorting device and the corresponding size, and obtain the side length of the surface in the vertical direction to provide a data basis for subsequent adjustment; the posture preliminary sorting device of the present invention adjusts the spacing between the two lateral conveying components in real time based on the predicted data of the feeding device, so that the spacing between the two lateral conveying components matches the box size, and performs preliminary straightening of the box under the action of the lateral conveying components to ensure that the posture of the box after preliminary sorting only retains two states: "completely standard posture" or "completely non-standard posture (90° different from the completely standard posture)". Under the coordinated operation of the box feeding device and the posture preliminary sorting device, the system can automatically match the sorting parameters for boxes of different sizes to avoid posture sorting deviations due to differences in box types; 2. After the boxes are initially aligned by the initial posture arranging device, the present invention performs an identification test on the actual posture to determine whether it is consistent with the predicted posture of the supply device. If it is inconsistent, it is determined to be a "completely non-standard posture (90° different from the completely standard posture)". The posture correction device receives the inspection results of the initial posture arranging device and performs a correction action on the boxes with completely non-standard posture to adjust their posture to a completely standard state. Under the linkage of the initial posture arranging device and the posture correction device, it is ensured that all boxes entering the stacking station meet the completely standard posture requirements, avoiding stacking misalignment or collapse due to posture deviation; Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be further described in the following specific embodiments.

When When , it is predicted that the side conveying assembly 204 of the initial posture sorting device 2 is in contact with the box surface where the long side dimension is located, and the side length L is the short side dimension. At this time, the initial posture of the box is regarded as a completely standard posture; when When , it is predicted that the plane where the long side dimension of the box is located contacts the lateral conveying component 204 of the initial posture sorting device 2, and the side length L is the short side dimension; when When , it is predicted that the side conveying assembly 204 of the initial posture sorting device 2 is in contact with the box surface where the short side dimension is located, and the side length L is the long side dimension. At this time, the initial posture of the box is regarded as a completely non-standard posture; when When , it is predicted that the plane where the short side dimension of the box is located contacts the lateral conveying component 204 of the initial posture sorting device 2, and the side length L is the long side dimension; S2: Initial arrangement of the box posture In the initial state, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055 is in an extended state. At this time, the opposite spacing adjustment component 203 connected to the telescopic cylinder 2055 drives the lateral conveying component 204 on its end side to be at the side edge position of the posture sorting mechanism. The spacing between the lateral conveying components 204 symmetrically located at the side edge of the posture sorting mechanism is H. In the working state, the initial straightening and sorting of the box posture is achieved by adjusting the contraction amount of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055. That is, when the box reaches the conveying plane of the initial posture sorting device 2 via the box feeding device 1, the contraction amount d of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055 is adjusted according to the side length L corresponding to the box size in a vertical form of the box surface contacted by the lateral conveying component 204 predicted in step S1, as follows: , In order to prevent the box from being damaged due to excessive contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055, or the box from being incomplete in the initial posture adjustment process due to too small contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2055 is retracted a certain length, and under the action of the spacing driving component 205 and the opposite spacing adjusting component 203, the lateral conveying component 204 symmetrically located at the side edge of the posture adjustment mechanism is driven to move toward the middle position of the posture adjustment mechanism, and the posture of the box passing through the lateral conveying component 204 is preliminarily straightened and adjusted to obtain the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment; S3: Identify and check whether the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment is completely standard The box body after step S2 continues to be transported backward on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism, and the second machine vision unit 207 identifies the posture of the box body after step S2 to check whether the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is consistent with the predicted posture of the box body obtained in step S1. If they are inconsistent, the box body is manually taken away and re-entered into the system. If they are consistent, it is further judged whether the actual posture of the box body is a completely standard posture, that is, the second machine vision unit 207 collects the original image of the top surface of the box body on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism, and then uses the YOLOv8s-seg model to quickly identify and extract the contour of the top surface of the box body, and obtains the long side dimension (that is, the length dimension of the box body) and the short side dimension (that is, the width dimension of the box body) of the top surface of the box body through the minimum circumscribed matrix algorithm, and then obtains the angle θ between the long side of the top surface of the box body and the conveying direction of the box body. When When , the actual posture of the box is judged to be a completely standard posture. When the actual posture of the box is judged to be completely non-standard, the box is further transmitted to the posture correction device 3 so that the box posture is corrected according to the judgment result; S4: Cabinet posture correction When the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely standard posture, the lifting cylinder 304 and the rotating assembly 305 of the posture correction device 3 are in the initial position, that is, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 304 is in a retracted state, and the box body is transferred to the stacking station by the roller conveyor mechanism; when the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely non-standard posture, that is, it differs from the completely standard posture by 90°, when the box body moves to the top of the correction mechanism on the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism, the photoelectric development triggers the external industrial control The machine finger extends the movable end of the lifting cylinder 304 and drives the rotating assembly 305 at its end to reach the posture adjustment position. The rotating assembly 305 lifts the box and rotates it 90°, thereby completing the 90° adjustment of the box posture so that the actual posture of the box is adjusted to a completely standard posture. Subsequently, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 304 retracts and drives the rotating assembly 305 to descend. The box adjusted to a completely standard posture continues along the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism via the conveying plane of the extension conveyor mechanism to reach the palletizing station.

At this time, the initial posture of the box is regarded as a completely non-standard posture; when When , it is predicted that the plane where the short side dimension of the box is located is in contact with the lateral conveying component of the initial posture sorting device, and the side length L is the long side dimension; S2: Initial arrangement of the box posture In the initial state, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is in an extended state. At this time, the opposing spacing adjustment component connected to the telescopic cylinder drives the lateral conveying component on its end side to be at the side edge position of the posture arranging mechanism. The spacing between the lateral conveying components symmetrically located at the side edge of the posture arranging mechanism is H. In the working state, the initial straightening and arranging of the box posture is achieved by adjusting the contraction amount of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder. That is, when the box reaches the conveying plane of the initial posture arranging device through the box feeding device, the contraction amount d of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is adjusted according to the side length L corresponding to the box size in a vertical form of the box surface contacted by the lateral conveying component predicted in step S1, as follows: , In order to prevent the box from being damaged due to excessive contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder, or the box from being incomplete in the initial posture adjustment process due to too small contraction of the movable end of the telescopic cylinder, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder retracts a certain length, and under the action of the spacing driving component and the opposite spacing adjusting component, the lateral conveying components symmetrically located at the side end edges of the posture adjustment mechanism are driven to move toward the middle position of the posture adjustment mechanism, and the posture of the box passing through the lateral conveying components is preliminarily straightened and adjusted to obtain the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment; S3: Identify and check whether the actual posture of the box after the initial posture adjustment is completely standard The box body after step S2 continues to be transported backward on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism, and the second machine vision unit identifies the posture of the box body after step S2 to check whether the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is consistent with the predicted posture of the box body obtained in step S1. If they are inconsistent, the box body is manually removed and re-entered into the system. If they are consistent, it is further judged whether the actual posture of the box body is a completely standard posture, that is, the original image of the top surface of the box body on the conveying plane of the posture sorting mechanism is collected by the second machine vision unit, and then the YOLOv8s-seg model is used to quickly identify and extract the contour of the top surface of the box body, and the long side dimension (that is, the length dimension of the box body) and the short side dimension (that is, the width dimension of the box body) of the top surface of the box body are obtained by the minimum circumscribed matrix algorithm, and then the angle θ between the long side of the top surface of the box body and the conveying direction of the box body is obtained. When When , the actual posture of the box is judged to be a completely standard posture. When the actual posture of the box is judged to be completely non-standard, the box is further transmitted to the posture correction device so that the posture of the box is corrected according to the judgment result; S4: Cabinet posture correction When the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely standard posture, the lifting cylinder and the rotating assembly of the posture correction device are in the initial position, that is, the movable end of the lifting cylinder is in a retracted state, and the box body is transferred to the stacking station by the roller conveyor mechanism; when the actual posture of the box body after step S2 is a completely non-standard posture, that is, it differs from the completely standard posture by 90°, when the box body moves to the top of the correction mechanism on the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism, the photoelectric development triggers the external industrial computer to extend the movable end of the lifting cylinder, and drives the rotating assembly at its end to reach the posture adjustment position, and the rotating assembly lifts the box body and rotates 90°, thereby completing the 90° adjustment of the box body posture so that the actual posture of the box body is adjusted to a completely standard posture, and then, the movable end of the lifting cylinder retracts and drives the rotating assembly to descend, and the box body adjusted to a completely standard posture continues to reach the stacking station along the conveying plane of the roller conveyor mechanism via the conveying plane of the extension conveyor mechanism.
