[0067] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure discloses a detection method, which applies the machine vision-based photovoltaic support online quality inspection system as above, such as Figure 10 , comprising the following steps: in step S1, the production line starts production, and in the welding station, a plurality of steel material strips are first welded end to end, and then sent to the welding seam detection module 1 through the first material feeding buffer device 7 for detection. The welding seam detection module 1 is mainly used for identifying the welding seam and determining the position of the welding seam. In this process, step S2 is performed, the material strip is flattened by the flattening device 2 and is driven to move, and in the process of moving, image acquisition and welding seam position identification are performed by the punching and welding seam joint detection module 3, and at the same time, the displacement encoding sensor 8 is used to obtain the material strip moving speed. After the welding seam is identified and the position needing to be punched is calculated, the displacement encoding sensor 8 synchronously records the relative position, and then step S3 is performed, the material strip is sent to the punching unit 4 for punching processing. After the punching is completed, the material strip is sent to the second material feeding buffer device 7, and the material strip moving at a uniform speed is kept in a state of uniform motion and enters the cold bending and cutting unit 6.

Step S6 is performed, after the judgment result is obtained, the products meeting the standard are stacked and packaged, the products not meeting the standard are removed and recycled, and at the same time, image processing, cold bending forming size measurement and surface defect identification are performed, so as to optimize the artificial intelligence model by means of reinforcement learning.
[0068] In one specific embodiment disclosed in the present application, the process of detecting the weld in the weld detection module 1 includes the following steps: first, the displacement encoding sensor 8 judges the running state of the steel strip and provides a trigger signal for the industrial camera 11, which identifies the welding position of the material strip in real time. Then, the information is transmitted to the punching station PLC control system, combined with the spatial position information, communication time length and material advancing distance, the relative position data of the weld in front of the punching station is calculated, and the data is transmitted to the lower computer. Finally, after the programmable logic controller receives the weld position data, the tail size is calculated through the follow-up encoder and distance data, and since the delay punching distance is equal to the tail distance of the material, the variable position punching processing is automatically completed.
[0069] In this embodiment, the variable position punching processing process includes: first, the industrial camera 11 identifies the weld information and transmits the position to the programmable logic controller system of the lower computer, and adds a 10mm punching and cutting safety margin. Then, the programmable logic controller calculates the distance between the weld position and the starting end of the preset punching position, and calculates the ratio M and the remainder N of the distance and the profile length. If M is less than 1, the lower computer controls the punching unit 4 to stop punching processing, if M is greater than 1, the punching process of M profiles is carried out normally, and then 10mm is added as a new preset profile starting end based on the weld position to start punching.
[0070] In some embodiments, the forming quality detection module 5 detection process includes: first, the visual camera detects the surface cracks and defects of the product in the left, right and bottom directions, judges whether the plating quality is qualified, and if not, the waste is removed. On this basis, after detecting the bending of the material strip, it is judged whether the cold bending position is qualified according to the inward flange length, and if not, the waste is removed. In this embodiment, the artificial intelligence model mainly combines AI YOLO algorithm and traditional algorithm, first detects the first hole position by YOLO model, and then carries out shearing. Then, the traditional algorithm is used for edge detection, so as to calibrate the hole edge position. Finally, the detection accuracy requirement can be met without affecting the production efficiency. Based on the dynamic image grabbing of product models, more than 10 test items such as total length, hole number, hole to edge distance, height, width, weld, dezincification and the like of the product are tested. Automatic identification of weld is realized, and the cold bending quality is judged according to the symmetry degree of the bent short side. If the small deviation exceeds three times or there is a major deviation, the line can be stopped for inspection in time.

The detection method according to claim 7, characterized in that, The process of detecting the weld in the weld detection module (1) comprises: The displacement encoding sensor (8) is used to judge the running state of the steel belt, and a trigger signal is provided for the industrial camera (11), the industrial camera (11) identifies the welding position of the material belt in real time; the information is transmitted to the punching station PLC control system; The upper computer combines the spatial position information, the communication time length and the material advancing distance, calculates the relative position data of the punch-weld joint before the punching station, and transmits the data to the lower computer; The programmable logic controller receives the weld position data, calculates the tail size through the follow-up encoder and distance data, and automatically completes the displacement punching process because the delay punching distance is equal to the tail size of the material.
9. The detection method according to claim 8, characterized in that, The displacement punching process comprises the following steps: The visual camera identifies the weld position information and transmits the weld position information to the programmable logic controller system of the lower computer, and adds a 10mm punching and cutting safety margin; The programmable logic controller calculates the distance between the weld position and the starting end of the preset punching position, and calculates the ratio M and the remainder N of the distance and the profile length. If M is less than 1, the lower computer controls the punching unit (4) to stop punching; if M is greater than 1, the punching process of M profiles is normally performed, and then 10mm is added as a new preset profile starting end based on the weld position to start punching.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of detecting is characterized by, The forming quality detection module (5) detection process comprises the following steps: The visual camera detects the surface cracks and defects of the product in the left, right and lower directions, judges whether the plating quality is qualified, and if not, rejects the waste; After the detection of the material belt bending, it is judged whether the cold bending position is qualified according to the length of the inward bending edge, and if not, the waste is rejected; The cold bending quality is judged according to the symmetry degree of the bending short side. If the small deviation exceeds three times or a major deviation occurs, the line is stopped for inspection in time.
