Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile projection lamps, in particular, to an automobile projection lamp automatic detection system and method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automobile projection lamp is a lighting device installed on a vehicle, which can project patterns, logos or information onto the ground or other surfaces, mainly for improving aesthetics, brand recognition or practical functions. With the increasing youthfulness of the automobile consumer group, the automobile projection lamp, as an important part of the automobile appearance, is given higher expectations. At the same time, since the automobile projection lamp not only has a signal indication function, but also assumes more roles such as information interaction, it is attracting more and more attention from lamp manufacturers, OEMs and terminal consumers.

[0003] The traditional assembly and detection methods of automobile projection lamps are all manual. First, the efficiency of manual assembly is very low, which is difficult to meet the needs of mass production. Second, the difficulty of human eye detection is great, and it is easy to cause false detection, missed detection, etc. due to fatigue.

[0004] Although there are some automatic detection devices for automobile projection lamps in the prior art, such as Chinese patent application publication CN117092128A, which discloses a defect detection device for automobile projection lamps, which includes a box body, a box door mounted on the box body, an image acquisition mechanism, a projection plate, an industrial computer and an alarm.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent application publication CN111665022A discloses an automatic device for detecting the performance of automobile welcome lights, which includes a code scanning gun, a power supply, a multimeter, a camera, a PLC and an upper computer industrial computer. The PLC controls the execution mechanism, when the detection starts, controls the cylinder to put the welcome light module into the darkroom, and controls the cylinder to connect the circuit to the welcome light module, and at the same time gives a signal to the upper computer industrial computer, and the detection is completed; the upper computer industrial computer receives the PLC preparation completion signal, the code scanning gun starts to scan the code, the upper computer industrial computer then controls the program-controlled power supply to provide power to the welcome light module, the upper computer industrial computer controls the multimeter to measure the current when the power is on, and controls the camera to take a photo, analyzes the photo, and calculates the LED luminous flux, color coordinate and lumen value through the algorithm; after the detection is completed, the upper computer industrial computer gives a signal to the PLC, the PLC removes the circuit from the welcome light module, and moves the module out of the darkroom, and the detection is completed.

[0006] The deficiency of the above prior art is the lack of automatic assembly and detection equipment specially used for automobile projection lamps, and the lack of special detection means for pattern integrity, clarity, local yellowing, local ghosting and whether the pattern is reversed. In addition, the prior art mainly detects the luminous flux, color coordinate and lumen value of the LED lamp bead, and lacks pattern detection and traceability function of the product.

[0007] Such as Chinese utility model patent CN 215636967U discloses a projection lamp device, by the projection lamp light machine is rotatably arranged on the fixed support, and the adjusting assembly is connected with the fixed support and the projection lamp light machine to drive the projection lamp light machine to rotate, the projection lamp light machine is realized through rotation Angle adjustment, eliminate the error produced due to the machining and assembly of parts, so as to ensure that the pattern and light type projected by the projection lamp device are not distorted, and the projection effect of the projection lamp device is improved. However, as for the pattern and light type projected without distortion, real-time online detection cannot be realized.

[0008] Also such as Chinese utility model patent CN209485660U discloses a car lamp detection equipment, including machine table, the machine table is provided with conveying device, positioning device, distance adjusting device and car lamp detection device; The assembly and detection of car lamp can be automatically realized, and the assembly efficiency and detection yield are greatly improved. However, this patent only introduces the detection of car lamp light and assembly, realizes the detection of car lamp quality through two cameras, mainly detects the color and gradient of light and other parameters, that is, the detection of the image of the camera on the image of the car lamp, not the detection of the pattern of the projection head. When the appearance is qualified, the color and brightness of the projected light are qualified, but such as the defective product that has already entered dust inside is helpless.

[0009] However, there is an urgent need in the prior art for a technical solution that can realize automatic assembly and automatic detection of projection pattern quality. SUMMARY

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an automatic detection system for automobile projection lamp and a method thereof, which can realize the automatic assembly and functional test of automobile projection lamp, and effectively realize pattern detection and traceability function of products.

As the combined sensor, at least three sensors are installed on the carrier, and different numbers are selected according to different types of projection lamps. At least three sensors in the combined sensor are marked as a, b, c, and so on. When the measured projection lamp is of the first type, the a, b, c, … sensors will sense according to the first type sensing logic, and the sensing results will be transmitted back to the control system through short-range communication to arrange the automatic control program of the automatic detection system.

[0028] According to the above method, the S3 step is omitted to detect the projection lamp without sealing performance verification.

[0029] According to the present application, although the detection is carried out for the automobile projection lamp, it is obvious that the system and method of the present application are suitable for any lamp which needs to be detected by testing the projection pattern.

[0030] According to the present application, although the movement of the projection lamp between the test platform and the assembly platform is realized by one track module, it is obvious that one more track module can be added to realize the shuttle without stopping, which can effectively shorten the CT time (i.e. the interval time between two workpiece processing).

The test module includes an imaging colorimeter detection assembly 11 and a first Z-direction movement module 28, and a support frame 281 for supporting the detection assembly 11. The head of the detection assembly 11 is directed to the top of the test machine table 1 to detect whether the light image projected by the projection lamp 4 (located on the carrier platform 37) to the top of the test machine table 1 meets the requirements, and once it does not meet the requirements, the alarm program is started. Among them, the Figure 7The upper part is a partial enlarged view of the first Z-direction moving module supporting the imaging colorimeter detection assembly 11 in a state.

Figure 7 The carrier platform 37 can be flipped by 180 degrees around the rotation support bearing 301 of the rotation support side plate 36 of the carrier platform on the second Z-direction moving module 30. This will be described in detail in Figure 8 , so that the light projected by the projection lamp 4 (with the assistance of the X-direction moving module and the second Z-direction moving module) can be almost or completely projected onto the light transmission plate (not shown) installed on the top of the darkroom of the test platform 1, that is, the detection assembly 11 can just capture the pattern projected by the projection lamp. By detecting the test on the test platform 1, the optical performance and electrical performance of the projection lamp 4 can be comprehensively evaluated. Once a defect is detected, a defect detection report is generated and an alarm is given, and the projection lamp 4 is discharged from the track module.

[0056] As shown in Figure 8 , the carrier platform 37 includes a rotation support bearing 301 for providing 360-degree rotation of the carrier platform 37 around the bearing 301, a product sensor 40 for sensing whether the projection lamp 4 is installed correctly, a carrier module 41 for carrying and fixing the projection lamp 4, a power supply module 42 for providing power to the projection lamp 4, a 360° rotation module 43 for driving the carrier platform 37 to rotate around the bearing 301 at a specified angle, and an installation platform 36 (see Figure 4A rotating inductor 44 on the mounting frame on the marking) is used to sense the rotation of the carrier platform 37; a combination inductor 45 is used to judge different carriers through different sensing logic to realize the compatibility of various products; a pressing cylinder 46 is used to clamp the projection lamp in the carrier module 41 to avoid loosening during rotation, so as to ensure the accuracy of the detection result. In an embodiment of the present application, the number of the combination inductors is 3, and the three inductors in the combination inductor are marked as a, b and c. When the measured projection lamp is of the first type, the a, b and c inductors will sense according to the first type sensing logic, and the sensing results will be transmitted back to the control system through short-range communication to compile the automatic control program of the automatic monitoring system. Similarly, when the measured projection lamp is of the second type, the a, b and c inductors will sense according to the second type sensing logic, and the sensing results will be transmitted back to the control system through short-range communication to compile the automatic control program of the automatic monitoring system.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, an automatic detection method for an automobile projection lamp is also provided, comprising the following steps: S1, placing the automobile projection lamp cover on the annular assembly platform, and automatically feeding by the feeding and discharging assembly; S2, screwing the automobile projection lamp by the screwing assembly; S3, verifying the sealing performance of the tightened automobile projection lamp by the air tightness detection assembly; S4, conveying the automobile projection lamp to the test platform by the conveying assembly, and sequentially performing the electrical performance detection and the optical pattern test; S5, resetting the test platform after the test is completed, and returning the automobile projection lamp to the annular assembly platform by the conveying assembly; S6, automatically laser marking the qualified automobile projection lamp, and alarming and recording the abnormal data of the unqualified automobile projection lamp.

[0058] In another embodiment, the S3 step is omitted to detect the projection lamp which does not need sealing performance verification.

[0059] According to the present application, although the detection is carried out for the automobile projection lamp, it is obvious that the system and method of the present application are suitable for any lamp which needs to be detected by testing a projection pattern. Since the assembly detection is realized on the same assembly machine, it can realize one-stop automatic assembly and functional test of the projection lamp. Since the pattern detection can be realized, the traceability function of the product can also be effectively realized. Since the operation is fully automated, the production efficiency and assembly precision are improved. And through the mode of modularization and combined sensor, more products can be compatible, supporting flexible manufacturing. In another embodiment, a track module can also be added to realize non-stop back and forth shuttling, which can effectively shorten the CT time (i.e. the interval time between two workpiece processing).

[0060] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
