Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the operation and control technology of coordinate measuring machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the manual operation control of a coordinate measuring machine is generally achieved by using an operation control box.

[0003] The problem with the existing technology is that when the coordinate measuring machine is operated manually using the existing technology, the operator needs to hold the control box with one hand and operate the control lever with the other hand to control the operation of the coordinate measuring machine. When the coordinate measuring machine is used to adjust the tooling parts, the operator needs to put down the adjustment tool and use the control box to control the operation of the coordinate measuring machine to measure, or put down the control box and use the adjustment tool to adjust the tooling parts. Measurement and adjustment operations cannot be performed simultaneously, which affects work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) operation control system that combines gestures and an operation box for manual operation control of the CMM. When the CMM is used to adjust tooling parts, measurement and adjustment operations can be performed simultaneously, effectively solving the problem of adjustment work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a coordinate measuring machine operation control system combining gestures and an operation box, including a coordinate measuring machine, a control system electrically connected to the coordinate measuring machine, an operation box electrically connected to the control system, and an AI vision system electrically connected to the control system. The control system can control the operation of the coordinate measuring machine according to commands given by the operator through the operation box or commands given by the operator's gestures recognized by the AI ​​vision system. The operator's gesture commands are defined by training the AI ​​vision system and include run commands, measurement point commands, automatic measurement selection commands, and stop commands.

[0006] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this invention compared with the prior art are as follows: when the coordinate measuring machine is used to adjust the tooling parts, the operator uses the coordinate measuring machine operation control system that combines gestures and operation box. One hand can use tools to adjust the tooling parts, and the other hand can use gestures to control the coordinate measuring machine to measure and run, so that adjustment and measurement can be carried out simultaneously, which can effectively improve the efficiency of adjustment work.

[0013] See appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 The coordinate measuring machine (CMM) operation control system, which combines gestures and an operation box, includes a CMM, a control system electrically connected to the CMM, an operation box electrically connected to the control system, and an AI vision system electrically connected to the control system. The control system can control the operation of the CMM based on commands given by the operator through the operation box or commands given by the operator's gestures recognized by the AI ​​vision system. The operator's gesture commands are learned and defined through training the AI ​​vision system, including run commands, measurement point commands, automatic measurement selection commands, and stop commands.

[0014] When an operator uses a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to adjust tooling components, the AI ​​vision system's camera covers the CMM's operating area and the corresponding surrounding area, effectively recognizing the operator's gestures and controlling the CMM's operation according to the commands defined by those gestures.

[0015] Example of using gesture commands to control the operation of a coordinate measuring machine:

[0016] Example 1 (Controlling the movement of a coordinate measuring machine in the positive x-axis direction):

[0017] The operator makes a running gesture command pointing in the positive x-axis direction of the coordinate measuring machine. The AI ​​vision system makes a judgment based on the gesture and the direction pointed to the machine, and sends a running command in the positive x-axis direction to the control system. The control system controls the coordinate measuring machine to run in the positive x-axis direction. After running to the correct position, the operator makes a stop gesture command. The AI ​​vision system makes a judgment based on the gesture and sends a stop command to the control system. The control system controls the coordinate measuring machine to stop running.

[0018] Example 2 (Controlling the measuring point in the negative y-axis direction of a coordinate measuring machine):

[0019] The operator makes a gesture command pointing to the negative y-axis of the coordinate measuring machine. The AI ​​vision system makes a judgment based on the gesture and the direction it is pointing to the machine, and sends a command to the control system to run the measurement point in the negative y-axis direction. The control system then controls the coordinate measuring machine to run along the negative y-axis to complete the measurement.

[0020] Example 3 (Controlling a coordinate measuring machine to perform automatic selection measurement):

[0021] The operator imports the automatic measurement program file of the part to be measured, moves the coordinate measuring machine to the vicinity of the position to be measured on the part, and makes an automatic selection measurement gesture. The AI ​​vision system sends an automatic selection measurement command to the control system based on the gesture, and the control system controls the coordinate measuring machine to complete the measurement of the position to be measured on the part.
