Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of visual inspection technology, and more particularly to industrial visual inspection equipment and methods. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial visual inspection equipment and its supporting inspection methods are gradually replacing traditional manual visual inspection, becoming the core technology for high-precision and high-efficiency defect identification. The complex curved surface structure and reflective characteristics of porcelain insulators often lead to false detections or missed detections in conventional visual inspection systems. Introducing laser measuring instruments can obtain high-precision three-dimensional contour data, making up for the lack of depth information in two-dimensional images. Therefore, integrating advanced processing strategies from laser measuring instruments and non-graphic wafer defect detection methods with visual inspection algorithms for complex surfaces to develop new industrial visual inspection equipment and inspection methods suitable for ultra-high voltage porcelain insulators has become an important research direction for ensuring the reliability of power equipment.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0028] The industrial vision inspection equipment disclosed in this invention is mainly used in existing equipment in scenarios where the contact surface between the clamping mechanism at both ends and the porcelain insulator will obstruct the vision inspection and affect the comprehensiveness of the inspection.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-10 Industrial visual inspection equipment, including: Base 1; The lower support 13 is located on one side of the base 1, and the same gantry frame 7 is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower support 13. The detection auxiliary mechanism 8 is mounted on the gantry 7 and includes two electric guide rails 801. Two fixing brackets 24 are set on both sides of the gantry frame 7; Mounting rods 18 are installed on both sides of the gantry frame 7; Side baffles 6 are provided on each mounting rod 18; The pre-cleaning mechanism 9 is disposed on two of the side baffles 6. The pre-cleaning mechanism 9 includes a mounting bracket 901, and the mounting bracket 901 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two side baffles 6. Assembly box 22 is located on the top of the gantry 7 facing downwards, and the bottom of assembly box 22 is provided with vision inspection module 20 and laser inspection module 21.
[0030] In a specific application scenario, when the porcelain insulator moves to below the vision inspection module 20 via the conveyor belt 10, the hydraulic cylinder 808 drives the industrial suction cup 802 to contact the porcelain insulator, activating the vacuum pump 811. The vacuum pump 811 quickly clamps the porcelain insulator via the industrial suction cup 802. After the porcelain insulator is quickly positioned and clamped, the rotary motor 803 is activated, causing the porcelain insulator to rotate. This allows the vision inspection module 20 and the laser inspection module 21 to inspect the porcelain insulator. After the rotation inspection is completed, the industrial suction cup 802 on one side releases its grip on the porcelain insulator. The electric guide rail 801 on the other end then drives the electric slider 804 to move downwards along a curved path. The released end of the porcelain insulator moves upwards along a curved path, allowing the vision inspection module 20 and the laser inspection module 21 to perform omnidirectional inspection of the upper end. After one end is inspected, the inspection is switched to the other end, thereby using the inspection auxiliary mechanism 8 to rotate and move the porcelain insulator along a curved path, achieving omnidirectional inspection of the porcelain insulator.
[0031] Specifically, after the industrial suction cup 802 at the porcelain insulator separates from the drive shaft 809, the hydraulic cylinder 36 is adjusted to drive the positioning friction ring 37 to be squeezed into the matching ring groove 33 of the electric slider 804. Through the relative engagement of the positioning friction ring 37 and the matching ring groove 33, it is ensured that the follower shaft 810 will not deflect due to gravity, and that the porcelain insulator remains in a stable state after moving along the curved path.
[0032] It should be noted that when performing end movement detection on the porcelain insulator, adjusting the unfolding cylinder 31 to drive the extension pressure plate 28 to move towards the porcelain insulator, the hydraulic cylinder 32 will drive the extension pressure plate 28 to further clamp the porcelain insulator, ensuring its stability after end movement. At the same time, the installation of the protective pad 29 reduces the extrusion and friction damage to the surface of the porcelain insulator.

[0039] Specifically, during the conveying process of the porcelain insulator, when it is conveyed to the area below the mounting frame 901, the vision sensor 906 detects the porcelain insulator. The lifting cylinder 910 drives the hollow rotating drum 907 to descend to the designated height, and the drive motor 902 is started. The rotating bristles 915 then brush off the dust on its surface. During the rotation of the hollow rotating drum 907, the external flipping through rod 916 provides an auxiliary rolling effect for the porcelain insulator. Together with the bristles 915, this achieves all-round cleaning of the porcelain insulator surface. At the same time, the collection pump 909 is in an open state, collecting the brushed-off dust through various suction holes 914 to prevent secondary pollution of the porcelain insulators. By pre-cleaning the porcelain insulators, the dust adhering to their surface during the conveying process is prevented from affecting the visual inspection results, thereby improving the accuracy of the visual inspection results.

[0041] An industrial vision inspection method, using the industrial vision inspection equipment as described above, includes the following steps: Step 1: Turn on the conveyor belt 10 and place the porcelain insulators on the conveyor belt 10 in sequence. When they are conveyed to the bottom of the mounting frame 901, the vision sensor 906 detects the porcelain insulators. The lifting cylinder 910 drives the hollow rotating drum 907 to descend to the specified height. The drive motor 902 is started, and the rotating brush 915 brushes off the dust on the surface. During the rotation of the hollow rotating drum 907, the flipping through rod 916 outside plays an auxiliary rolling effect on the porcelain insulators. Together with the brush 915, it can achieve all-round cleaning of the surface of the porcelain insulators. Step 2: After cleaning, the porcelain insulator continues to be transported to the bottom of the gantry 7.

After the porcelain insulator is quickly positioned and clamped, the rotary motor 803 is started, and the rotary motor 803 drives the porcelain insulator to rotate, thereby inspecting it through the vision inspection module 20 and the laser inspection module 21. After the rotation inspection is completed, the industrial suction cup 802 on one side releases its grip on the porcelain insulator, and the electric guide rail 801 on the other end drives the electric slider 804 to move downward along the curved path. The loosened end of the porcelain insulator moves upward along the curved path, and the vision inspection module 20 and the laser inspection module 21 can perform all-round inspection of the upper end. After the inspection of one end is completed, it is replaced with the other end. Step 3: After the porcelain insulator has been inspected, it is conveyed to the robotic arm 2 by the conveyor belt 10. The robotic arm 2 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the porcelain insulator and move it into the collection box 5, thus ending the operation.
