Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of visual inspection technology, specifically to a visual inspection device and method for conductive slip ring brush filaments, and more particularly to a visual inspection device for conductive slip ring brush filaments with high inspection accuracy, high degree of automation, and strong size adaptability. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, my country has significantly increased its requirements for the lifespan of spacecraft. For example, the lifespan of low Earth orbit satellites has increased from 2-3 years to 5-8 years, the lifespan of geostationary orbit satellites has increased from 8 years to more than 15 years, and the space station is required to serve for more than 15 years.

[0003] Conductive slip rings are critical components of satellites and space stations, responsible for transmitting electrical energy and signals. Their quality directly affects the overall stability and reliability of the system. Conductive slip rings are widely used in spacecraft stabilization turntables, inertial navigation equipment, radar systems, weapon launch control systems, and global positioning systems. Abnormal operation of the conductive slip ring can affect the normal transmission of signals and current in the spacecraft, leading to power supply failures for the entire satellite or even mission failure; it is truly the "lifeline" of the spacecraft. In conductive slip rings, the contact condition between the brush filaments and the ring groove directly affects the transmission efficiency of electrical energy and signals. The contact angle between the brush filaments and the ring groove is a key parameter for the high-reliability operation of the slip ring. During the brush filament bending process, the bending angle is affected by factors such as springback and is difficult to control. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the bending angle of the brush filaments to ensure it is within a suitable range and meets the accuracy requirements for brush filament bending.

[0004] According to literature review, the current measurement of the bending angle of conductive slip ring brush filaments is mostly done manually, which has low measurement accuracy and efficiency and low degree of automation.

[0005] Patent application CN201910868252.9 discloses a conductive slip ring brush filament forming device. This device includes an industrial camera, which is mounted on a displacement stage via a connecting arm. The camera can only measure one side of the brush filament, limiting the measurement range. In this invention, both the side-view and top-view modules are fixed on an optical platform. By capturing images of the brush filament from multiple angles, a visual detection algorithm is used to obtain the brush filament deflection angle, bending angle, bending height, and end position.

[0006] Patent application CN202310417663.2 discloses a device for measuring the forming angle of a conductive slip ring elastic alloy wire. This device is mounted on the right side of the base with screws and uses an industrial camera and image processing software to measure the forming angle with high precision. However, it suffers from low automation and low measurement efficiency. The present invention's side-view and top-view modules are installed on the sides and top of a linear slide table. The movement of the linear slide table is controlled by a control system, enabling automated and high-precision measurement of all brush filaments. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The present invention also provides a method for visual inspection of conductive slip ring brush filaments, using the above-mentioned visual inspection device for conductive slip ring brush filaments, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step S1: Control the linear slide table through the control system to move the first row of brush filaments below the industrial camera of the top-view shooting module and the top-view visual inspection reference line of the top-view visual inspection reference module. Then, take a top-view image of the first row of brush filaments through the industrial camera. Continue to control the linear slide table to complete the shooting of each row of brush filaments.

[0040] Step S2: Based on the top view image of each row of brush bristles taken in step S1, the top view image is preprocessed by a computer program to calculate the brush bristle deflection angle of each row of brush bristles.

[0041] Step S3: Continue to control the linear slide through the control system, so that the linear slide moves the first row of brush filaments to the shooting position of the side shooting module, turn on the left and right light sources of the lighting module, so that the light blocking plate is located in the middle of the left and right sides of the first row of brush filaments, and take pictures of the left and right sides of the first row of brush filaments through the left and right cameras of the side shooting module to obtain side images, and continue to control the linear slide to complete the shooting of the left and right sides of each row of brush filaments;

[0042] Step S4: Based on the side image captured in step S3, the side image is preprocessed by a computer program, and combined with the brush bristle deflection angle obtained in step S2, the brush bristle bending angle, bending height and end position are calculated to complete the visual inspection of the brush bristles.

[0043] Preferably, in step S2, the top-view image is preprocessed using a computer program to calculate the deflection angle of each row of brush bristles. The specific process is as follows:

[0044] Let O UV - The UV coordinate system represents the pixel coordinate system, and the O-XYZ coordinate system represents the image coordinate system, with the midpoint O(u0,v0) of the imaging plane as the origin;

[0045] Let O c -X c Y c Z c The coordinate system represents the camera coordinate system, with the optical center as the origin;

[0046] According to the formula x=(u-u0)×d x y = (v - v0) × d y The point coordinates (u,v) in the pixel coordinate system are converted to coordinates (x,y) in the image coordinate system, where d x d y Indicates the pixel size;

[0047] Distortion correction, filtering, edge detection, and corner detection are performed on the top view image to obtain the coordinates of the two ends of the top view detection baseline in the pixel coordinate system, denoted as (u1,v1) and (u2,v2), and the coordinates of the brush root and the brush tip in the pixel coordinate system are obtained, denoted as (u3,v3) and (u4,v4).

[0048] Using (u1,v1) and (u2,v2), we obtain the linear equation 1 of the top-view detection baseline in the pixel coordinate system. Using (u3,v3) and (u4,v4), we obtain the linear equation l2 of the brush bristles in the pixel coordinate system. We calculate the angle between l1 and l2 to obtain the deflection angle of a single brush bristle. We repeat the above process to process all top-view images and obtain the deflection angle of all brush bristles.

[0049] Preferably, in step S4, the lateral image is preprocessed by a computer program, and combined with the bristle deflection angle obtained in step S2, the bristle bending angle, the height of the bending point, and the end position are calculated. The specific process is as follows:

[0050] Distortion correction, filtering, edge detection, and corner detection are performed on the lateral image to obtain the coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle end in the pixel coordinate system, denoted as (u5, v5) and (u6, v6).

[0051] After edge detection, line detection is performed, and the results are corrected. Substitute x = u5 into the analytical expression of line detection, and use the y value at this time as v5 for subsequent calculations.

[0052] According to the formula x=(u-u0)×d x y = (v - v0) × d y (u5,v5) and (u6,v6) are converted into coordinates (x5,y5) and (x6,y6) in the image coordinate system.

[0053] Based on the lens's focal length f and working distance z c Using formula x c =x×z c / f and y c =y×z c / f, find the point of the object in the camera coordinate system, where the focal length f is a camera parameter;

[0054] The working distance at the bristle bend is z c5 The working distance at the tip of the bristles is z c6 The calculation method is as follows: Assume the length of the bent part of the bristles is L, and the bending angle is θ. b Let the brush filament deflection angle be θ1, the angle between the side camera and the axis of the linear slide be θ2, and the angle between the side camera and the normal vector of the plane containing the brush filament be θ1+θ2. Then we have z c5 =z c6 -L×cosθ b ×sin(θ1+θ2);

[0055] According to formula x c =x×z c / f and yc =y×z c / f, and (x5,y5)(x6,y6), calculate x c5 y c5 x c6 y c6 , (x c5 ,y c5 ,z c5 ) and (x c6 ,y c6 ,z c6 () represents the three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip in the camera coordinate system;

[0056] The length L of the bristle bending section and the bending angle θ b The values ​​are iterated: based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system, the length of the brush bristle bend is calculated as L1 and the bend angle is θ. b,1 Take (L+L1) / 2 and (θ) b +θ ,1 Using ε / 2 as the length and bending angle of the bristle bend, iterative calculations are performed to obtain the new three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip in the camera coordinate system. This process is repeated until ε is reached. n1 =L n -L n-1 and ε n2 =θ b,n -θ b,n-1 When the value is less than the given value, the iteration ends, and the calculated three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system are the final results.

[0057] By using the three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip, the bristle bend angle, bend height, and tip position can be calculated.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] 1. In terms of automation, the present invention controls each module through a control system. Based on image capture, the brush bristle deflection angle, bending angle, bending height, and end position are all obtained through computer programs, thus realizing the automation of brush bristle visual inspection.

[0060] 2. Regarding the detection accuracy, this invention uses visual inspection to measure the brush bristle deflection angle, bending angle, bending height, and end position. The linear slide is controlled by a control system to ensure the position of the brush bristles on the axis. The top-view visual inspection reference module ensures the measurement accuracy of the brush bristle deflection angle, and the light blocking module prevents the brush bristles on one side from interfering with the camera shooting on the other side, thus ensuring the measurement accuracy of the brush bristle bending angle, bending height, and end position.

[0061] 3. In terms of detection versatility, the present invention is compatible with the detection of multiple specifications of brush filaments. The size and position of the left camera fixing post, right camera fixing post, and top camera fixing post in the side shooting module and the top shooting module can be adjusted according to the brush filament size. The specifications of the left camera, right camera, and top camera can be adjusted according to the measurement accuracy and brush filament size. Attached Figure Description

[0088] Step S2: Based on the top view image of each row of brush bristles taken in step S1, the top view image is preprocessed by a computer program to calculate the brush bristle deflection angle of each row of brush bristles.

[0089] In step S2, the top-view image is preprocessed using a computer program to calculate the deflection angle of each row of brush bristles. The specific process is as follows:

[0090] Let O UV - The UV coordinate system represents the pixel coordinate system, and the O-XYZ coordinate system represents the image coordinate system, with the midpoint O(u0,v0) of the imaging plane as the origin;

[0091] Let O c -X c Y c Z c The coordinate system represents the camera coordinate system, with the optical center as the origin;

The angle between l1 and l2 is calculated to obtain the deflection angle of a single brush bristle. The above process is repeated for all top-view images to obtain the deflection angle of all brush bristles.

[0095] Step S3: Continue to control the linear slide 7 through the control system, so that the linear slide 7 moves the first row of brush filaments to the shooting position of the side shooting module 1, turn on the left light source 31 and right light source 34 of the lighting module 3, so that the light blocking plate 41 is located in the middle of the left and right sides of the first row of brush filaments, and take pictures of the left and right sides of the first row of brush filaments through the left camera 11 and right camera 14 of the side shooting module 1 to obtain side images, and continue to control the linear slide 7 to complete the shooting of the left and right sides of each row of brush filaments;

[0096] Step S4: Based on the side image captured in step S3, the side image is preprocessed by a computer program, and combined with the brush bristle deflection angle obtained in step S2, the brush bristle bending angle, bending height and end position are calculated to complete the visual inspection of the brush bristles.

[0097] In step S4, the lateral image is preprocessed using a computer program, and combined with the bristle deflection angle obtained in step S2, the bristle bending angle, bending height, and end position are calculated. The specific process is as follows:

[0098] Distortion correction, filtering, edge detection, and corner detection are performed on the lateral image to obtain the coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle end in the pixel coordinate system, denoted as (u5, v5) and (u6, v6).

[0099] After edge detection, line detection is performed, and the results are corrected. Substitute x = u5 into the analytical expression of line detection, and use the y value at this time as v5 for subsequent calculations.

[0100] According to the formula χ=(u-u0)×d x y = (v - v0) × d y (u5,v5) and (u6,v6) are converted into coordinates (x5,y5) and (x6,y6) in the image coordinate system.

[0101] Based on the lens's focal length f and working distance z c Using formula x c =x×z c / f and y c =y×z c / f, find the point of the object in the camera coordinate system, where the focal length f is a camera parameter;

[0102] The working distance at the bristle bend is z c5 The working distance at the tip of the bristles is z c6 The calculation method is as follows: Assume the length of the bent part of the bristles is L, and the bending angle is θ. b Let the brush filament deflection angle be θ1, the angle between the side camera and the axis of the linear slide be θ2, and the angle between the side camera and the normal vector of the plane containing the brush filament be θ1+θ2. Then we have z c5 =z c6 -L×cosθ b ×sin(θ1+θ2);

[0103] According to formula x c =x×z c / f and y c =y×z c / f, and (x5,y5)(x6,y6), calculate x c5 y c5 x c6 y c6 , (x c5 ,y c5 ,z c5 ) and (x c6 ,y c6 ,z c6 () represents the three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip in the camera coordinate system;

[0104] The length L of the bristle bending section and the bending angle θ b The values ​​are iterated: based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system, the length of the brush bristle bend is calculated as L1 and the bend angle is θ. b,1 Take (L+L1) / 2 and (θ) b +θ b,1 Using ε / 2 as the length and bending angle of the bristle bend, iterative calculations are performed to obtain the new three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip in the camera coordinate system. This process is repeated until ε is reached. n1 =L n -L n-1 and ε n2 =θ b,n -θ b,n-1 When the value is less than the given value, the iteration ends, and the calculated three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system are the final results.

[0105] By using the three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip, the bristle bend angle, bend height, and tip position can be calculated.

[0126] Working Principle: During operation, the controller controls the linear slide 7 to move the first row of brush filaments below the top-view industrial camera 21 and the top-view visual inspection baseline 51. The top-view industrial camera 21 captures an image of the first row of brush filaments. The controller continues to control the linear slide 7 to capture an image of the second row of brush filaments. This process is repeated to capture top-view images of all brush filaments. The computer program preprocesses the images to calculate the brush filament deflection angle. The controller then controls the linear slide 7 to move further, moving the first row of brush filaments to a position for side-view image capture. The left light source 31 and right light source 34 are turned on, and the light shield 41 is positioned between the left and right brush filaments to prevent interference from one side of the brush filaments to the other side's camera. The left camera 11 and right camera 14 capture images of the left and right sides of the first row of brush filaments, respectively. The controller controls the linear slide 7 to continue moving to capture images of all brush filaments. The computer program preprocesses the images and, combined with the brush filament deflection angle, calculates the brush filament bending angle, bending height, and end position to complete the visual inspection of the brush filaments.

[0127] The bristle deflection angle was calculated as follows:

[0128] Let O UV -UV represents the pixel coordinate system (unit: pixel), and the O-XYZ coordinate system represents the image coordinate system, with the midpoint O(H0,v0) of the imaging plane as the origin. c -X c Y c Z c The coordinate system represents the camera coordinate system, with the optical center as the origin.

[0129] The point coordinates (u, v) in the pixel coordinate system are determined by the formula x = (u - u0) × d. x y = (v - v0) × d y It can be directly converted to coordinates (x, y) in the image coordinate system, where d x d y Indicates the pixel size.

[0130] For the top-view image, distortion correction, filtering, edge detection, and corner detection are performed to obtain the coordinates of the two ends of the top-view detection baseline in the pixel coordinate system, denoted as (u1,v1) and (u2,v2). The coordinates of the brush root and the brush tip in the pixel coordinate system are also obtained, denoted as (u3,v3) and (u4,v4). The linear equation l1 of the top-view detection baseline in the pixel coordinate system is obtained from (u1,v1) and (u2,v2). The linear equation l2 of the brush filament in the pixel coordinate system is obtained from (u3,v3) and (u4,v4). The angle between l1 and l2 is calculated to obtain the deflection angle of a single brush filament. The above process is repeated for all top-view images to obtain the deflection angle of all brush filaments.

[0131] The bristle bending angle, bending point height, and end position are calculated as follows:

[0132] Distortion correction, filtering, edge detection, and corner detection are performed on the lateral image to obtain the coordinates of the brush filament bend and the brush filament tip in the pixel coordinate system, denoted as (u5, v5) and (u6, v6). Considering that the coordinates of the detection point at the brush filament bend are usually lower in the actual corner detection process, line detection can be performed after edge detection, and the result can be corrected. That is, x = u5 is substituted into the analytical expression of line detection, and the y value at this time is used as v5 for subsequent calculations. According to the aforementioned formula, these coordinates are directly converted to the coordinates (x5, y5) and (x6, y6) in the image coordinate system.

[0133] Based on the lens's focal length f and working distance z c Using formula x c =x×z c / f and y c =y×z c / f can be used to find the point corresponding to the object in the camera coordinate system, where the focal length f is a camera parameter and the working distance z at the brush filament bend is the focal length. c5 The actual installation situation depends on the specific equipment, because in step S2 each row of brush bristles moves to the same position, therefore z c5 The working distance z at the tip of the brush bristles is a constant. c6 The calculation method is as follows: First, assume that the length of the bent part of the bristles is L and the bending angle is θ. bThe brush filament deflection angle is θ1, and the angle between the lateral camera and the axis of the linear slide is θ2. At this point, the angle between the camera and the normal vector of the plane containing the brush filament is θ1 + θ2. Therefore, z c5 =z c6 -L×cosθ b ×sin(θ1+θ2), according to the above formula, we can obtain x c5 y c5 x c6 y c6 , (x c5 ,y c5 ,z c5 ) and (x c6 ,y c6 ,z c6 This refers to the three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system.

[0134] Then, for the bristle bending section with length L and bending angle θ... b The values ​​are iterated, and the length of the bent portion of the brush bristles, L1, and the bending angle, θ, are calculated using the three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system. b,1 Take (L+L1) / 2 and (θ) b +θ b,1 The length and bending angle of the brush bristle bend are used for iterative calculation to obtain the new three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle tip in the camera coordinate system. This process is repeated until ε is reached. n1 =L n -L n-1 and ε n2 =θ b,n -θ b,n-1 When the value is less than the given value, the iteration ends. The three-dimensional coordinates of the brush bristle bend and the brush bristle end in the camera coordinate system are the final result.

[0135] The bending angle, bending height, and end position of the bristles can be calculated using the three-dimensional coordinates of the bristle bend and the bristle tip (or converted to coordinates in the world coordinate system for calculation).

[0136] This invention has the advantages of high detection accuracy and high degree of automation, and can detect brush filaments of different sizes.
