Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing technology, specifically to a digital virtual assembly method and testing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of automobile body manufacturing, it is necessary to control the body parts in order to control the overall body quality. The traditional measurement method is to match the actual body parts. The matching process requires the installation of corresponding brackets and the adjustment of body parts, which is quite difficult. Moreover, problems are only discovered after the parts are matched. This leads to untimely information feedback, high costs, and low efficiency.

[0003] Based on this, we propose to use big data to perform virtual matching analysis on car bodies, reduce measurement errors, and provide automatic early warnings for matching car parts in advance. This can greatly reduce manpower and material resources, lower costs, and improve production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

To achieve the above objectives, this invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A method for using a digital virtual assembly inspection system, comprising a laser scanner (8), wherein the laser scanner (8) acquires 3D point cloud data of parts and performs dimensional matching analysis in conjunction with 3DCS assembly software. The specific steps are as follows: S1: Acquire complete 3D data of the part and 3D data of the assembly area through optical measurement; S2: Fit the three-dimensional data of the parts to the measurement coordinate system required by the product using 3DCS assembly software; S3: Define the location of DTS measurement points; S4: The assembly area is the variable, the tolerance is the adjustment amount, and the DTS tolerance is the constraint condition. S5: Complete the above assembly and output the following process files: script file, executable file, and model file; S6: Calculate using the islight optimization software, based on the product requirements, defined optimization methods, constraints, and optimization objectives; S7: The optimization software performs calculations in 2000 or fewer iterations; S8: Extract the results that satisfy both the perimeter DTS tolerance range and the assembly area tolerance range, and assign them to the 3DCS assembly software; S9: Finally, issue a correction instruction and a virtual lighting and shadow effect diagram; S10: Virtual assembly is performed using 3D data calculated by the Islight optimization software. This allows for early warning, rectification, and avoidance of problems. The virtual lighting and shadows generate zebra stripe patterns to determine the continuity of the curved surface and the trend of the shaped curved surface. Material properties are used to render and verify the best fit before assembly. Combined with the car paint color, it can be displayed in VR.

[0021] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0022] Example 1: When using this system and method for virtual assembly, firstly, a positioning component 4 matching the item to be measured is set in the automated storage and retrieval system 3. The positioning component 4 can be made in different sizes and specifications according to the workpiece to be measured, so as to be suitable for different workpieces and facilitate gripping. Secondly, the robotic arm 2 slides on the support frame 1 through program control. The robotic arm 2 takes the flexible support column 7 out of the automated storage and retrieval system 43 and fixes it on the first support plate 11 for later use. When installing the positioning component 4, it slides to the side of the automated storage and retrieval system 3. The flexible support column 7 on the first support plate 11 is gripped by the ventilation control inside the robotic arm 2. The robotic arm 2 vents the interior through the ventilation hole 13 on the side wall of the flexible support column 7, so that the second output end 29 pushes the lower limit block 2 by pushing the lower push plate 31. 1. Moving away from the first support plate 11, due to the downward slope 26 in the lower receiving cavity 23, the lower limit bead 27 in the lower receiving cavity 23 will disperse within the lower receiving cavity 23, thereby causing the lower limit bead 27 to disengage from the arc groove 16 of the third pull stud 32 on the first support plate 11, and thus causing the flexible support column to detach from the first support plate 11. Next, the robotic arm 2 clamps the flexible support column to the side of the positioning component 4 and the three-dimensional storage 3, and cuts off the air supply to control the flexible support column, so that the positioning component 4 is installed in the upper pull stud hole 14 of the flexible support column through the positioning pull stud. Since the upper pull stud hole 14 is fitted with an upper spring 18, the upper spring 18 has a downward reaction force after being squeezed and the air supply is cut off, causing the upper spring 18 to push the upper limit bead 25 of the upper receiving cavity 22 in the upper block along the upper... The ramp 24 moves, and the upper limit bead 25 in the upper limit block 20 is limited and locked by the arc groove 16 on the positioning rivet, so as to fix the positioning component 4 on the flexible support 7. Then, the robotic arm 2 clamps the flexible support to the position of the second support plate 12. The robotic arm 2 pneumatically controls the flexible support, and the air is cut off inside through the vent hole 13 on the side wall of the flexible support 7. The flexible support with the positioning component 4 placed is fixed on the second support plate 12 through the pull pin hole 17 for storage and clamping. When measuring the part, the robotic arm 2 pneumatically controls the flexible support to remove the flexible support from the second support plate 12 and pneumatically fix it on the rivet plate 6. The part to be measured is fixed with the pressure block by pressing down the handle 406 through the positioning component 4. The system is fixed and used for inspection. Upon arrival at the test location in the virtual assembly system, complete 3D data of the part and the 3D data of the assembly area are acquired via optical measurement. Simultaneously, 3DCS assembly software fits the part's 3D data to a measurement coordinate system required by the product, defining DTS measurement point positions for matching and optimization reference targets. The assembly area is used as a variable, the tolerance as the adjustment amount, and the DTS tolerance as a constraint. After completing the assembly, process files are output: script file, execution file, and model file. Using Islight optimization software, calculations are performed based on the defined optimization methods, constraints, and optimization objectives according to the product requirements. The optimization software performs 2000 or fewer iterations to obtain the adjustment amounts.Then, results that satisfy both the peripheral DTS tolerance range and the assembly area tolerance range are extracted and applied to the 3DCS assembly software to obtain the final adjustment effect, achieve optimal assembly, and finally generate a correction instruction sheet and a virtual lighting and shadow effect diagram. Finally, virtual assembly is performed using 3D data calculated by the Islight optimization software. This allows for early warning of rectification and avoidance of problem points. The generated virtual lighting and shadow pattern produces zebra stripes to determine the continuity of the curved surface and the trend of the shaped curved surface. Material property rendering is used to verify the best fit assembly. Combined with the car paint color, it can be displayed in VR, providing pre-visual guidance for the matching effect after rectification. In summary, based on the required workpiece assembly process, assembly analysis is performed in the virtual matching software to simulate the overall assembly process, thereby guiding the overall assembly process quality. This replaces the previous manual measurement method, reducing labor costs and ultimately achieving digital virtual matching to guide matching rectification.

[0023] Example 2: When the gaps between the windshield and the left and right side panels of the vehicle body are inconsistent, the gaps are smaller on the upper side and larger on the lower side, and the gaps on the left and right sides are different, affecting the appearance. The traditional solution is to take windshields from the same batch and verify them multiple times on CUBING. If the problem is the same, take windshields from different recent batches for verification and require the supplier to verify the dimensions. If the dimensions are incorrect, the supplier needs to return the windshields to the factory for repair. If the windshield is verified to be fine on CUBING, the vehicle body needs to be verified. The vehicle body is measured and a rectification plan is confirmed. Therefore, the problem is that there are issues during the verification process. Errors in manual measurement and component installation necessitate multiple matching processes, resulting in high costs and impacting the overall vehicle assembly schedule. The digital assembly solution addresses this by using a system to select the left and right front side panel sheet metal clamps, and then employing a robotic arm to install modules onto a mobile, universal work platform. After acquiring 3D data of the windshield using an optical inspection system, virtual installation and matching are performed under a digital virtual assembly and inspection system. A problem analysis report is generated on-site, showcasing the issues and solutions. This proactive approach, adjusting components according to the rectification plan in the early stages, prevents problems from recurring, improves work efficiency, and reduces cost losses.
