DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Existing industrial visual inspection devices use multiple CCD cameras to achieve all-round inspection, which improves accuracy. However, the overall economy and maintainability are significantly reduced due to the surge in hardware costs, complex optical path design, high consumption of computing resources and decreased system stability.

[0023] To this end, the present invention provides a plastic product defect detection device based on machine vision, see Figure 1As shown, it includes a frame 11, on which is installed an industrial visual inspection device 12 for performing industrial visual inspection on plastic bottles. The industrial visual inspection device 12 uses a CDD camera to quickly capture the surface or internal image of the target object, and then the image processing unit pre-processes the original data (such as noise reduction and contrast enhancement), and then uses a feature extraction algorithm to identify key information (such as size, shape, and defect location). Finally, the intelligent analysis module performs comparison and judgment in combination with preset standards. The specific working principle of the device is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A surround conveying device 13 is installed on the frame 11 for conveying plastic bottles. The specific structure and working principle of the conveying device are the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In the process of transporting plastic bottles by the surround conveying device 13, the plastic bottles will pass one by one directly under the industrial visual inspection device 12, and the industrial visual inspection device 12 will perform visual inspection and identification on the plastic bottles; See also Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the wrap-around conveying device 13 is provided with a plurality of clamping assemblies for clamping the plastic bottles. Each clamping assembly is composed of a flip structure and a clamping structure. Each clamping structure is composed of a trigger part, a clamping part 551 and two pulling parts. The flip structure includes a mounting frame 21, which is fixed on the endless conveyor belt of the wrap-around conveying device 13. A first servo motor 22 is installed on the mounting frame 21, and a swing frame 23 is fixed on the output shaft of the first servo motor 22. A hole is opened on the swing frame 23, and a rotating shaft 25 is rotatably installed in the hole. A rotating frame 24 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 25, and a gear 26 is fixed to the other end. The swing frame 23 and the rotating frame 24 are both U-shaped structures. The first servo motor 22 can drive the swing frame 23 to rotate, and the rotating frame 24 can rotate around the rotating shaft 25. A vertical rod 111 is fixed on the frame 11, and a rack 112 is fixed to the top of the vertical rod 111. The rack 112 is arranged in the horizontal direction. When the wrap-around conveying device 13 is running, a plurality of mounting frames 21 move accordingly; In the initial state, the U-shaped openings of the swing frame 23 and the rotating frame 24 are both facing downward. At this time, the plastic bottles are clamped and kept in a vertical state. Before the mounting frame 21 passes through the inspection area of ​​the industrial visual inspection equipment 12, the first servo motor 22 runs and drives the swing frame 23 to rotate until the swing frame 23 rotates 90 degrees. When the swing frame 23 rotates, the plastic bottles on it rotate accordingly and rotate to a horizontal state. Figure 11As shown, the process of the plastic bottle rotating from a vertical state to a horizontal state, when the mounting frame 21 passes through the detection area of ​​the industrial vision inspection equipment 12, the gear 26 will mesh with the rack 112 and rotate under the action of the rack 112. When the gear 26 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 25 to rotate, and the rotating frame 24 and the plastic bottle rotate accordingly. In summary, before the plastic bottle enters the detection area of ​​the industrial vision inspection equipment 12, it will first rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and then maintain a horizontal posture to enter the detection area of ​​the industrial vision inspection equipment 12, and slowly rotate during the inspection process. At the same time, the industrial vision The CDD camera in the inspection device 12 takes pictures of the plastic bottle multiple times to obtain inspection samples of the plastic bottle at different angles, thereby performing a full-scale inspection of the plastic bottle. Compared with traditional inspection methods, this dynamic inspection method only requires one CDD camera to achieve full-scale inspection of the plastic bottle, without the need to set up multiple CDD cameras. This not only avoids the high cost and complex calibration problems caused by the multi-camera layout, but also expands the inspection coverage of a single camera through dynamic rotation. Ultimately, it achieves full-scale defect recognition with a simplified hardware structure, significantly improving inspection efficiency and reducing equipment investment and maintenance costs. See also Figure 9 As shown, the trigger part includes a clamping seat 31, which is fixed on the rotating frame 24 so that the clamping seat 31 can rotate with the rotating frame 24. A cavity 32 is provided inside the clamping seat 31, and a sliding plug 33 is sealed and slidably connected in the cavity 32. A push rod 34 is fixed on the sliding plug 33, and the sliding plug 33 is connected to the cavity 32 through a spring 35. A groove 315 is provided on the side of the clamping seat 31, and an air supply pipe 316 is arranged in the groove 315. One end of the air supply pipe 316 is connected to the cavity 32. An opening 314 is provided on the top of the clamping seat 31, and the opening 314 is connected to the cavity 32. The other end of the air supply pipe 316 is connected to the cavity 32. One outer end is connected to an air source. As a prior art, the air source is not shown in the figure and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the air source supplies air to the cavity 32 through the air supply pipe 316. After the gas enters the cavity 32, it can push the slide plug 33 to move, so that the slide plug 33 is close to the opening 314. In this process, the slide plug 33 squeezes the spring 35 and drives the push rod 34 to move. The trigger part also includes an elastic bag 41 and a movable block 42. The movable block 42 is placed above the clamping seat 31 and is arranged opposite to the opening 314. One end of the elastic bag 41 is connected to the clamping seat 31, and the other end is connected to the movable block 42. See also Figure 6As shown, the clamping portion 551 includes two clamping members, both of which are arranged on the outer circumference of the clamping seat 31, and the two clamping members are arranged opposite each other, each clamping member includes two side plates 51, both of which are fixed on the outer circumference of the clamping seat 31, and the two side plates 51 are arranged opposite each other, a slidable magnetic slide 52 is provided between the two side plates 51, and the magnetic slide 52 is connected to the clamping seat 31 by a tension spring 56, and a limited opening 53 is provided on the two side plates 51, and two limit blocks 54 are fixed on the magnetic slide 52, and the two limit blocks 54 slide in the two limit openings 53 respectively, and the magnetic slide 52 moves During the process, the two limiting openings 53 and the two limiting blocks 54 provide limits for the movement of the magnetic slide 52, ensuring the stability of the magnetic slide 52 during the movement, and preventing the magnetic slide 52 from detaching from between the two side plates 51. A clamping strip is adsorbed on the magnetic slide 52. The clamping strip is made of magnetic material so that the clamping strip can be adsorbed on the magnetic slide 52. The clamping strip is composed of a clamping part 551 and a driving part 552. The driving part 552 is fixed to the top of the clamping part 551, and an inclined surface is provided on the driving part 552. The clamping part 551 is used to press against the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle. The side of the clamping part 551 is adhered with an anti-slip pad 553. When the gas enters the cavity 32 and pushes the slide 33 to move, the push rod 34 on the slide 33 moves accordingly. In this process, the push rod 34 can pass through the opening 314 and push up the movable block 42, so that the movable block 42 moves upward. Figure 4 As shown, when the movable block 42 moves upward, the movable block 42 can squeeze the inclined surfaces of the two driving parts 552. Under the action of the two inclined surfaces, the two driving parts 552 will move synchronously and move away from each other when squeezed, which makes the two clamping parts 551 move synchronously and move away from each other. When the two clamping parts 551 move away from each other, the two clamping parts 551 can jointly support the bottle mouth position of the plastic bottle to fix the plastic bottle, forming a Figure 10 In this state, the two clamping parts 551 enable the clamping seat 31 to drive the plastic bottle to move, flip and rotate; See also Figure 9As shown, the device for detecting defects in plastic products based on machine vision proposed by the present invention also has the function of rejecting defective products. Specifically, a first exhaust hole 312 is provided on the bottom surface of the clamping seat 31, and a rotatable blocking plate 3121 is provided on the bottom surface of the clamping seat 31. The blocking plate 3121 is rotatably connected to the clamping seat 31 through a hinge, and the blocking plate 3121 is arranged opposite to the first exhaust hole 312. A torsion spring is provided on the hinge. Under the action of the torsion spring, the blocking plate 3121 has a tendency to block the first exhaust hole 312. The outer peripheral surface of the clamping seat 31 is provided with a first exhaust hole 312. The second exhaust hole 313 is provided with a movable blocking ring 3131 on the outer circumference of the clamping seat 31. A limiting protrusion 3132 is also fixed to the outer circumference of the clamping seat 31. The limiting protrusion 3132 provides a limit for the blocking ring 3131. When the blocking ring 3131 falls on the limiting protrusion 3132, the blocking ring 3131 is arranged opposite the second exhaust hole 313. When the gas is discharged through the first exhaust hole 312, the device performs an operation of rejecting unqualified plastic bottles. When the gas is discharged through the second exhaust hole 313, the device performs an operation of collecting qualified plastic bottles. See also Figure 8 As shown, two limiting lips 311 are fixed to the outer circumference of the clamping seat 31, and the two limiting lips 311 jointly provide constraints for the plastic bottle. When the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle abuts the two limiting lips 311, it indicates that the plastic bottle has been assembled in place. The two pulling parts are respectively arranged on the two limiting lips 311. The pulling part includes a second servo motor 61, and the second servo motor 61 is mounted on the limiting lips 311. The output shaft of the second servo motor 61 is fixed with an eccentric wheel 62, and a fixing rod 63 is fixed on the side of the eccentric wheel 62, and the fixing rod 63 is located at the edge of the eccentric wheel 62. A rotating ring 64 is rotatably provided on the fixing rod 63, and a pull rope 65 is connected to the rotating ring 64. As for the two pull ropes 65, one of the pull ropes 65 is connected to the blocking plate 3121, and the other pull rope 65 is connected to the blocking ring 3131. During the industrial visual inspection process, when the plastic bottle is unqualified, the second servo motor 61 for driving the blocking plate 3121 is operated and drives the corresponding eccentric wheel 62 to rotate, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the initial state, the fixed rod 63 is in a lower position. When the eccentric wheel 62 rotates, the fixed rod 63 moves accordingly, and drives the rotating ring 64 to move, so that the rotating ring 64 can pull the blocking plate 3121 through the pull rope 65, thereby rotating the blocking plate 3121. When the blocking plate 3121 rotates, the blocking plate 3121 no longer blocks the first exhaust hole 312. At this time, the high-pressure gas in the cavity 32 can be discharged through the first exhaust hole 312 to perform a deflation action. During the deflation process, the sliding plug 33 is reset under the action of the spring 35, and drives the ejector rod 34 to reset. When the ejector rod 34 is reset, no thrust is applied to the movable block 42. , so that the movable block 42 is reset under the action of the elastic bag 41. Similarly, when the movable block 42 is reset, it no longer applies an extrusion action to the two driving parts 552, so that the two clamping parts 551 are reset respectively under the action of the two tension springs 56. In this process, the two clamping parts 551 no longer provide a clamping effect on the plastic bottle. When the two clamping parts 551 are reset, the jet action of the first exhaust hole 312 can blow the plastic bottle and blow the plastic bottle off the clamping seat 31, thereby realizing automatic rejection of unqualified plastic bottles. It should be noted that the rejection of unqualified plastic bottles is carried out when the plastic bottles are kept in a horizontal state. When the plastic bottle is qualified, the blocking plate 3121 will not move, that is, the two clamping parts 551 still maintain the clamping effect on the plastic bottle. When the plastic bottle is rotated from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the pulling part used to drive the blocking ring 3131 is operated, and the corresponding second servo motor 61 is operated. Similarly, when the second servo motor 61 is running, it can apply tension to the blocking ring 3131 through the pull rope 65, so that the blocking ring 3131 moves. When the blocking ring 3131 moves, it no longer blocks the second exhaust hole 313, and the gas in the cavity 32 can also slowly escape through the second exhaust hole 313, so that the slide plug 33, the ejector rod 34, the movable block 42 and the two clamping parts 551 are reset. When the two clamping parts 551 are reset to their original position, the two clamping parts 551 no longer fix the plastic bottle. At this time, the plastic bottle can fall naturally under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the collection of qualified products. It should be noted that the loading process of the plastic bottle onto the clamping seat 31 can be performed manually or automatically by a machine. This part is the existing technology and is not shown in the figure, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Working principle: When the device for inspecting defects in plastic products based on machine vision is working, the surrounding conveying device 13 on the frame 11 conveys the plastic bottles so that they pass one by one directly under the industrial vision inspection device 12. A number of clamping assemblies consisting of a flipping structure and a clamping structure are arranged on the conveying device to clamp the plastic bottles. In the initial state, the plastic bottles are clamped and kept in a vertical state. Before passing through the inspection area, the first servo motor 22 of the flipping structure drives the swing frame 23 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the plastic bottles are rotated to a horizontal state. During the process of entering the inspection area, the gear 26 engages with the rack 112 to drive the rotating frame 24 and the plastic bottles to rotate slowly. At the same time, the CDD in the industrial vision inspection equipment 12 The camera takes pictures multiple times to obtain test samples at different angles, thus realizing all-round detection. In the triggering part of the clamping structure, the air source supplies air to the cavity 32 of the clamping seat 31 through the air supply pipe 316, pushing the sliding plug 33 to move and driving the ejector rod 34 to lift the movable block 42. The movable block 42 squeezes the inclined surfaces of the two driving parts 552, so that the two clamping parts 551 move synchronously away from each other to support the position of the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle to achieve fixation. For the rejection of defective products, when the plastic bottle is unqualified, the second servo motor 61 for driving the blocking plate 3121 drives the eccentric wheel 62 to rotate, and the blocking plate 3121 is pulled by the pull rope 65 to no longer block the first exhaust hole 312. The high-pressure gas in the cavity 32 is discharged, the sliding plug 33 is reset, driving the ejector rod 34 to reset, and the movable block 42 is in the elastic bag 4. 1 is reset under the action of the two tension springs 56, and the two clamping parts 551 are reset respectively under the action of the two tension springs 56 and no longer clamp the plastic bottle, and the first exhaust hole 312 blows the plastic bottle with air to blow it off the clamping seat 31; for the collection of qualified products, when the plastic bottle is qualified, the blocking plate 3121 does not move, and after the plastic bottle is rotated from the horizontal state to the vertical state, it is used to drive the pulling part of the blocking ring 3131 to operate, and the second servo motor 61 pulls the blocking ring 3131 through the pull rope 65 to no longer block the second exhaust hole 313, and the gas in the cavity 32 slowly leaks out through the second exhaust hole 313, and the sliding plug 33, the ejector rod 34, the movable block 42 and the two clamping parts 551 are reset, and the two clamping parts 551 no longer fix the plastic bottle, and the plastic bottle falls naturally under the action of gravity.
