[0002] The hollow sandwich plate is a kind of advanced building component with large span, light weight and high bearing capacity, which adopts hollow truss structure inside and thin-walled panels on the upper and lower layers. Such structure is widely used in large public buildings such as airports and stadiums, but due to its super large size (usually ≥ 30m × 30m), uneven stiffness distribution and high deformation sensitivity, it is easy to cause local buckling or overall torsional deformation during hoisting due to uneven stress. Traditional hoisting relies on manual command of tower crane operation.

SUMMARY

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a machine vision automatic hoisting alignment equipment for hollow sandwich plate, comprising a hoisting plate, a main lifting piece is fixedly installed on the upper side of the hoisting plate, a plane displacement mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower side of the hoisting plate, a fine adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower side of the plane displacement mechanism, a magnetic suction block is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fine adjustment mechanism, the magnetic suction block is used for adsorbing the hollow sandwich plate steel structure workpiece, a first auxiliary lifting appliance and a second auxiliary lifting appliance are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the lower part of the fine adjustment mechanism, the first auxiliary lifting appliance and the second auxiliary lifting appliance both comprise an auxiliary lifting appliance.

[0006] The magnetic suction block contacts the hollow sandwich plate steel structure workpiece to be hoisted, and current is passed through the inside of the magnetic suction block;

[0007] Since the magnetic suction block is composed of a coil, a core and a magnetic conductor, the coil generates a magnetic field when electrified, the core concentrates the magnetic force lines to form a closed magnetic circuit, so that the magnetic suction block magnetically adsorbs the steel structure workpiece;

[0008] A vision mechanism is fixedly mounted on the planar displacement mechanism, and the vision mechanism includes a camera and a light source.

[0009] With the aid of a light source, the camera captures images of the hoisted steel structure workpiece and its assembly position. The assembly position has identifiable targets or feature points (such as assembly holes or assembly end faces).

[0010] The fine-tuning mechanism includes a fixed ring, an adjusting component, and a support plate. The fixed ring is fixedly connected to the lower side of the vision mechanism. The adjusting component, which is evenly distributed in a ring, is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixed ring. The support plate is rotatably connected to the lower side of the adjusting component.

[0011] Through the coordinated action of the vision mechanism, planar displacement mechanism, fine adjustment mechanism, and magnetic suction block, the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece can be automatically hoisted, aligned, and assembled.

[0012] Furthermore, the main lifting component includes a connecting lifting block, a main lifting chain, and a lifting chain fixing block. Four sets of lifting chain fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the upper side of the lifting plate, and the main lifting chain is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lifting chain fixing block. The upper sides of the four sets of main lifting chains are all fixedly connected to the connecting lifting block.

The motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the hanging plate, and the lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Two sets of bearing seats are fixedly installed on the hanging plate, and the bearing seats are rotatably connected to the lead screw to support it. Two sets of guide rails are fixedly connected to the lower side of the main lifting component. A sliding block is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rails, and a moving plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sliding block. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw, and the lead screw mating block is fixedly connected to the moving plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the Y-axis moving component includes a second motor, a second lead screw, a second sliding block, a second guide rail, a second lead screw mating block, and a second moving plate. The second motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first moving plate, and the second lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. Two sets of bearing seats are fixedly connected to the first moving plate, and the second bearing seats are rotatably connected to the second lead screw to support the second lead screw. Two sets of guide rails are fixedly connected to the lower side of the first moving plate, and the second sliding block is slidably connected to the outer side of the second guide rail. The second moving plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second sliding block. The second lead screw is threadedly connected to the outer side of the second lead screw, and the second lead screw mating block is fixedly connected to the second moving plate.

[0016] Start motor one and motor two. Motor one drives lead screw one to rotate, which causes lead screw mating block one to move moving plate one along lead screw mating block one. At the same time, motor two drives lead screw two to rotate, which causes guide rail two to move moving plate two along guide rail two. This achieves the movement of the steel structure workpiece in the plane, bringing it closer to the assembly position.

[0017] Furthermore, the vision mechanism also includes a mounting frame, with two sets of mounting frames fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable plate two, a camera fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame, and two sets of light sources fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting frame.

[0018] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a driving component, a moving component, and a monitoring component. A moving component with a uniformly distributed ring is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixed ring. A driving component is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving component.

The lower side of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a bearing plate.

[0020] The driving component includes a motor, a mounting shell, sprockets, annular chains, and a rotating shaft.

Rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the interior of the mounting shell. Two sets of sprockets are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shafts. Correspondingly, the outer sides of the upper and lower sprockets are connected to annular chains. The upper rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The two sets of annular chains are connected to a chain connecting block.

[0021] Start motor three, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the ring chain to rotate, which in turn drives the chain connecting block one to move. The chain connecting block one drives the telescopic rod to extend or retract through the moving block. Through the movement of multiple sets of telescopic rods, the lower bearing plate is driven to make a fine adjustment of the angle, which in turn drives the steel structure workpiece to make a fine adjustment of the angle, so that the angle of the steel structure workpiece matches the assembly position.

[0022] The monitoring component includes a magnetostrictive displacement sensor body, a second chain connecting block, a support plate, and a magnetic ring. The magnetostrictive displacement sensor body is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting shell via a rectangular plate. A magnetic ring is slidably connected to the outside of the magnetostrictive displacement sensor body. A support plate is fixedly connected to the side of the magnetic ring near the mounting shell. A second chain connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the support plate near the mounting shell. The second chain connecting block is connected to two sets of the ring chains.

[0023] The mounting shell has grooves corresponding to chain connecting block one and chain connecting block two.

[0024] The ring chain drives the magnetic ring to slide the same distance on the magnetostrictive displacement sensor body through the chain connecting block 2 and the support plate. By utilizing the magnetostrictive effect, the displacement of each telescopic rod when it extends or retracts can be indirectly calculated. This allows for real-time monitoring of the actual angle adjustment of the steel structure workpiece. The external control system adjusts the output of the motor 3 in real time based on the error (expected displacement minus actual displacement) to ensure high alignment accuracy between the steel structure workpiece and the assembly position.

[0025] Furthermore, the auxiliary lifting device includes a support plate, a reduction motor, a connecting frame, a winding wheel, a guide wheel, a connecting housing, an auxiliary lifting chain one, a hook, and an auxiliary lifting chain two. Two sets of symmetrically arranged support plates are fixedly connected to the outer side of the bearing plate. The reduction motor and the connecting housing are fixedly connected to the inner side of the support plate. The winding wheel is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the side of the reduction motor near the connecting housing. The other end of the winding wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting frame.

A hook is fixedly connected to the lower side of the auxiliary lifting chain one. An auxiliary lifting chain two is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting housing. The auxiliary lifting chain two is connected to the auxiliary lifting chain one.

[0026] The auxiliary lifting chain extends downwards through two sets of guide wheels.

[0027] The hook and auxiliary chain 2 are fastened together on the outside of the steel structure workpiece. Then, the external control system starts the geared motor, which drives the winding wheel to rotate, thereby winding up the auxiliary chains 1 and 2. Under the guidance of two sets of guide wheels, the auxiliary chains 1 and 2 are wound onto the winding wheel until they tightly bind the steel structure workpiece. Then, the geared motor stops working.

[0028] A machine vision-based automatic hoisting and alignment method for hollow sandwich panels includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Equipment positioning: Connect the tower crane to the connecting block, lift the equipment above the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece, the magnetic block contacts the workpiece surface and is energized to generate magnetic attraction to the workpiece.

[0030] S2. Double insurance fixing: The tower crane lifts the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece off the ground, and the manual hook is fastened to the auxiliary chain 2. The reduction motor is started, and the auxiliary chain 1 and auxiliary chain 2 are tightened through the winding wheel until the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece is tightly bound.

[0031] S3. Visual positioning: Hoist the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece to the same plane of the assembly area, take pictures of the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece and the assembly position with a camera, and identify the target or feature point.

[0032] S4. Planar alignment: Activate the planar displacement mechanism to align the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece with the assembly position in a planar manner;

[0033] S5. Angle Fine-tuning and Closed-Loop Control: Start motor three, which drives the telescopic rod through a ring chain; the telescopic rod pushes the bearing plate to achieve workpiece angle adjustment; the magnetic ring slides along the main body of the magnetostrictive displacement sensor, providing real-time feedback of the displacement; the control system compares the actual displacement with the desired displacement and dynamically adjusts the output of motor three.

[0034] S6. Assembly and disassembly: After the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece is aligned and assembled, it is manually assembled and connected. The current of the magnetic attraction block is disconnected, and the deceleration motor is reversed to release the lifting chain; the connection between the hook and the auxiliary lifting chain is released.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a machine vision-based automatic hoisting and alignment equipment and method for hollow sandwich panels, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] 1. This machine vision-based automatic hoisting and alignment equipment and method for hollow sandwich panels, through the coordinated action of the main hoisting component, planar displacement mechanism, fine-tuning mechanism, vision mechanism, and auxiliary hoisting tools, enables the automated adjustment of the planar displacement and fine-tuning of the angle of the steel structure workpiece under the guidance of machine vision. This achieves the effect of automatic hoisting and alignment of the steel structure workpiece and the assembly device. At the same time, the closed-loop feedback of the displacement sensor ensures high-precision alignment between the workpiece and the assembly position, guaranteeing the effect of automatic hoisting and alignment, and solving the problems of existing methods that require manual command and have low positioning accuracy.

[0037] 2. The machine vision-based automatic hoisting and positioning equipment and method for hollow sandwich panels utilizes the combined action of magnetic suction blocks and auxiliary lifting devices to achieve dual fixation through magnetic adsorption and mechanical binding chains. This effectively suppresses the swaying and deformation of large-sized hollow sandwich panels during hoisting, avoids the risk of component slippage due to wind load or inertia, and ensures safety during high-altitude operations.

[0063] Start motor 1 311 and motor 2 321. Motor 1 311 drives lead screw 1 312 to rotate, which causes lead screw mating block 1 315 to move moving plate 1 316 along lead screw mating block 1 315. At the same time, motor 2 321 drives lead screw 2 322 to rotate, which causes guide rail 2 324 to move moving plate 2 326 along guide rail 2 324. This enables the steel structure workpiece to move in the plane and move closer to the assembly position.

[0064] Furthermore, the vision mechanism 5 also includes a mounting bracket 51.

The fixed cylinder 4222 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the fixed base 4221. The moving block 4224 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed cylinder 4222.

[0068] Start motor 3 4211, which drives rotating shaft 4215 to rotate. Rotating shaft 4215 drives ring chain 4214 to rotate, which in turn drives chain connecting block 1 4225 to move. Chain connecting block 1 4225 drives telescopic rod 4223 to extend or retract through moving block 4224. Through the movement of multiple sets of telescopic rods 4223, the lower bearing plate 43 is finely adjusted in angle, which in turn drives the steel structure workpiece to be finely adjusted in angle, so that the angle of the steel structure workpiece matches the assembly position.

[0069] The monitoring component 423 includes a magnetostrictive displacement sensor body 4231, a second chain connecting block 4232, a support plate 4233, and a magnetic ring 4234.

[0070] The mounting housing 4212 has grooves corresponding to the chain connecting block 4225 and the chain connecting block 4232.

[0071] The ring chain 4214 drives the magnetic ring 4234 to slide the same distance on the magnetostrictive displacement sensor body 4231 through the chain connecting block 4232 and the support plate 4233. By utilizing the magnetostrictive effect, the displacement of each telescopic rod 4223 when it extends or retracts can be indirectly calculated. This allows for real-time monitoring of the actual angle adjustment of the steel structure workpiece. The external control system adjusts the output of the motor 4211 in real time based on the expected displacement minus the actual displacement, ensuring high alignment accuracy between the steel structure workpiece and the assembly position.

[0072] Furthermore, the auxiliary lifting device 6 includes a support plate 61, a reduction motor 62, a connecting frame 63, a winding wheel 64, a guide wheel 65, a connecting housing 66, an auxiliary lifting chain 67, a hook 68, and an auxiliary lifting chain 69. Two sets of symmetrically arranged support plates 61 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the bearing plate 43. The reduction motor 62 and the connecting housing 66 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the support plate 61. The winding wheel 64 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor 62. The connecting frame 63 is fixedly connected to the side of the reduction motor 62 near the connecting housing 66. The other end of the winding wheel 64 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 63. Two sets of guide wheels 65 are rotatably connected to the lower side of the connecting frame 63. An auxiliary lifting chain 67 is fixedly connected to the winding wheel 64. A hook 68 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the auxiliary lifting chain 67. An auxiliary lifting chain 69 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting housing 66. The auxiliary lifting chain 69 is connected to the auxiliary lifting chain 67.

[0073] The auxiliary lifting chain 67 extends downward through two sets of guide wheels 65.

[0074] The hook 68 and the auxiliary lifting chain 69 are fastened together on the outside of the steel structure workpiece. Then, the external control system starts the reduction motor 62, which drives the winding wheel 64 to rotate, thereby winding up the auxiliary lifting chain 67 and the auxiliary lifting chain 69. Under the guidance of the two sets of guide wheels 65, the auxiliary lifting chains 67 and 69 are wound onto the winding wheel 64 until they have tightly bound the steel structure workpiece. Then, the reduction motor 62 stops working.

[0075] A machine vision-based automatic hoisting and alignment method for hollow sandwich panels includes the following steps:

[0076] S1. Equipment positioning: Connect the tower crane to the connecting block 21, lift the equipment to the top of the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece, the magnetic block 7 contacts the workpiece surface and is energized, generating magnetic force to attract the workpiece.

[0077] S2. Double insurance fixing: The tower crane lifts the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece off the ground, and the manual hook 68 and auxiliary chain 2 69 are fastened. The reduction motor 62 is started, and the auxiliary chain 1 67 and auxiliary chain 2 69 are tightened through the winding wheel 64 until the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece is tightly bound.

[0078] S3. Visual positioning: Hoist the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece to the same plane of the assembly area, and use camera 52 to take images of the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece and its assembly position to identify targets or feature points.

[0079] S4. Planar alignment: Activate the planar displacement mechanism 3 to align the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece with the assembly position in a planar manner;

[0080] S5. Angle fine-tuning and closed-loop control: Start motor 3 4211, which drives telescopic rod 4223 through ring chain 4214; telescopic rod 4223 pushes bearing plate 43 to realize workpiece angle adjustment; magnetic ring 4234 slides along magnetostrictive displacement sensor body 4231 to provide real-time feedback of displacement; control system compares actual displacement with expected displacement and dynamically adjusts motor 3 4211 output.

[0081] S6. Assembly and disassembly: After the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece is aligned and assembled, it is manually assembled and connected. The current of the magnetic attraction block 7 is disconnected, and the deceleration motor 62 is reversed to release the lifting chain; the connection between the hook 68 and the auxiliary lifting chain 69 is released.

[0082] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0083] When using this automatic hoisting and positioning equipment, first, the external tower crane is fixedly connected to the connecting hoisting block 21. The equipment is then hoisted to the hoisting area of ​​the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece to be hoisted and assembled by the external tower crane, so that the magnetic suction block 7 comes into contact with the hollow sandwich panel steel structure workpiece to be hoisted, and current is passed into the magnetic suction block 7.

[0084] Since the magnetic accumulator 7 is composed of a coil, an iron core and a magnetic conductor, when energized, the coil generates a magnetic field and the iron core concentrates the magnetic lines of force to form a closed magnetic circuit, so that the magnetic accumulator 7 can magnetically attract the steel structure workpiece.

[0085] Subsequently, the external tower crane is controlled to lift the steel structure workpiece about 1 meter off the ground and then stop. The hook 68 and the auxiliary chain 2 69 are initially not connected. By engaging the hook 68 and the auxiliary chain 2 69 on the outside of the steel structure workpiece, the external control system starts the reduction motor 62. The reduction motor 62 drives the winding wheel 64 to rotate, thereby winding up the auxiliary chain 1 67 and the auxiliary chain 2 69. Under the guidance of the two sets of guide wheels 65, the auxiliary chain 1 67 and the auxiliary chain 2 69 are wound onto the winding wheel 64 until the auxiliary chain 1 67 and the auxiliary chain 2 69 have secured the steel structure workpiece. Then the reduction motor 62 stops working.

[0086] Because two sets of auxiliary lifting chains 1 67 and 2 69 are set up symmetrically about the bearing plate 43, the magnetic suction block 7 magnetically attracts the steel structure workpiece, while the two sets of auxiliary lifting chains 1 67 and 2 69 assist in binding the steel structure workpiece, so that the steel structure workpiece being lifted maintains a highly stable state during the lifting process.

[0087] The steel structure workpiece is hoisted to the steel structure workpiece assembly area by an external tower crane, so that the steel structure workpiece and the assembly position are on the same plane. At this time, the camera 52, with the assistance of the light source 53, takes pictures of the hoisted steel structure workpiece and the assembly position of the steel structure workpiece. The assembly position has identifiable targets or feature points, such as assembly holes and assembly end faces.

[0088] Then, the external system controls the start of motor 1 (311) and motor 2 (321). Motor 1 (311) drives lead screw 1 (312) to rotate, which causes lead screw mating block 1 (315) to move moving plate 1 (316) along lead screw mating block 1 (315). At the same time, motor 2 (321) drives lead screw 2 (322) to rotate, which causes guide rail 2 (324) to move moving plate 2 (326) along guide rail 2 (324). This enables the steel structure workpiece to move in the plane and move closer to the assembly position.

[0089] After the position of the steel structure workpiece in the plane is adjusted, the external control system starts motor three 4211, which drives the rotating shaft 4215 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4215 drives the ring chain 4214 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain connecting block one 4225 to move. The chain connecting block one 4225 drives the telescopic rod 4223 to extend or retract through the moving block 4224. Through the movement of multiple sets of telescopic rods 4223, the lower bearing plate 43 is driven to make a fine adjustment of the angle, which in turn drives the steel structure workpiece to make a fine adjustment of the angle, so that the angle of the steel structure workpiece matches the assembly position.

[0090] While the telescopic rod 4223 extends or retracts, the ring chain 4214 drives the magnetic ring 4234 to slide the same distance on the magnetostrictive displacement sensor body 4231 through the chain connecting block 4232 and the support plate 4233. By utilizing the magnetostrictive effect, the displacement of each telescopic rod 4223 when it extends or retracts can be indirectly calculated. This allows for real-time monitoring of the actual angle adjustment of the steel structure workpiece. The external control system adjusts the output of the motor 4211 in real time based on the expected displacement minus the actual displacement, ensuring high alignment accuracy between the steel structure workpiece and the assembly position.

[0091] After the steel structure workpiece is aligned with the assembly position, the worker assembles and connects the steel structure workpiece. After the steel structure workpiece is assembled, the current inside the magnetic suction block 7 is disconnected, and at the same time, the reduction motor 62 is controlled to drive the winding wheel 64 to reverse, so as to loosen the auxiliary lifting chain 1 67 and auxiliary lifting chain 2 69. Then, the auxiliary lifting chain 1 67 and auxiliary lifting chain 2 69 are disconnected through the hook 68, thereby realizing automated hoisting and alignment. This process is repeated.

[0092] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
