[0044] The first clamping base 7 can clamp the first end of the forging, and the second clamping base 8 can clamp the second end of the forging. A support crossbar is installed on the stand 1, and the support crossbar 12 is arranged on the upper part of the operating table 2.

[0045] The flaw detection terminal is internally provided with a single chip microcomputer, a motor control circuit, a grinding motor control circuit, a magnetic suspension liquid control circuit and a memory.

[0046] The flaw detection terminal is provided with a display touch screen, a rotation control button, a grinding control button and a flaw detection control button; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the drive motor through the motor control circuit, obtains the rotation control instruction through the rotation control button, and controls the operation of the drive motor; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the grinding motor through the grinding motor control circuit, obtains the grinding control instruction through the grinding control button, and controls the operation of the grinding motor; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the magnetic suspension drive motor through the suspension control circuit to control the operation of the magnetic suspension drive motor; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the industrial camera 6 to obtain the image information of the flaw detection process and save it to the memory, and also displays the flaw detection process information and the captured image information through the display touch screen; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the flaw detection control button to obtain the flaw detection start and stop control instructions.

In order to facilitate the monitoring personnel to understand the flaw detection process and data, a communication module is also set inside the flaw detection terminal; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the communication module to upload the flaw detection information and the image information of the flaw detection process to the host computer.

[0048] In the utility model, a support vector machine algorithm and a breadth-first search image recognition algorithm are stored in the memory. The acquired forging image can be recognized and analyzed by the support vector machine algorithm and the breadth-first search image recognition algorithm to obtain the flaw detection result information.

[0049] For example, this embodiment takes the flaw detection and image analysis of a steering knuckle as an example. The steering knuckle is placed on a first clamping base and a second clamping base, and a flaw detection process is performed. At the same time, an industrial camera can acquire image information.

[0050] The MCU can be based on the machine learning part and process it through the training set in the memory. Figure 3 As shown, the knuckle surface can be divided into several uniform grids, in this case the grid side length is 3mm, then the grid positions are numbered, and the spatial coordinate value of each grid is established. The flaw detector identified the cracks on the knuckle surface after magnetization and spraying the suspension, and circled the cracks with white chalk.

[0051] After taking a photo of the knuckle surface with an industrial camera, the image within the white mark is automatically captured, and the grid position and number covered by the image are recorded to collect the image set for machine training. The image processing involves the following process:

[0052] 1.1 Feature Vector Learning

[0053] The image set data obtained by single chip processing. Firstly, the image is grayed, and the discrete points with drastic changes in gray value in the image are removed by weighted directed smoothing filter algorithm to achieve image noise reduction; and the gray-mean co-occurrence matrix is ​​used to achieve maximum entropy segmentation. The support vector machine algorithm is used to detect and analyze the cracks to form feature vectors.

[0054] 1.2 Typical defect location matching

[0055] The single chip microcomputer matches the feature vectors at different positions with the feature vector positions recorded in 1.1 to form a defect recognition matrix, and gives priority to recognition; for images outside the acquisition positions of the training image set, supplementary recognition is performed.

[0056] 1.3 Image acquisition and processing

[0057] Add printing and identification of forging serial number (QR code) on the surface of forging.

[0058] Use a robotic arm to place forgings in three fixed positions and take photos. After completion, the photos are processed. First, the image is grayed out, and the discrete points with drastic changes in grayscale values ​​in the image are removed through a weighted directed smoothing filter algorithm to achieve image noise reduction; and the gray-mean co-occurrence matrix is ​​used to achieve maximum entropy segmentation.

[0059] 1.4 Crack Identification

[0060] Based on the eigenvector of 1.2, crack identification is performed on the defect marked area and the unmarked area. If there is a crack, the grid number of the area where the crack exists is recorded.

[0061] The automatic grinding part of the utility model can also perform path planning based on point positions, summarize the grid numbers of cracked grids and their corresponding spatial coordinate values, and connect the coordinates of two adjacent points with a distance of no more than 3 mm to form a crack line segment.

[0062] According to the provisions of GB / T 12361 and GB / T 12362 on forging surface defects, the grinding width should not be less than 6 times the depth, and the length should exceed the defect length by more than 3mm at both ends. The grinding depth of the machined surface is allowed to be half of the machining allowance, and the grinding depth of the non-machined surface is allowed to be 1 / 3 of the thickness tolerance. The machining allowance of this steering knuckle is 3mm, and the thickness tolerance is 3.2mm (+2.1mm, -1.1mm).

[0063] The grinding parameters are:

[0064]

[0065] The grinding starting point is: along the crack extension direction, extending about 3mm from the starting point;

[0066] The grinding end point is: along the crack extension direction, extending about 3mm from the end point;

[0067] by Figure 4 Take the knuckle crack in the figure as an example. Assume that the crack length is 16 mm and involves 7 grid elements with coordinates (x 1 ,y 1 ,z 1 ), (x 2 ,y 2 ,z 2 ) ... (x 7 ,y 7 ,z 7 ). Then the crack trajectory is to connect these 7 points.

[0068] In this embodiment, two grinding wheels with a length of 5 mm and a diameter of 6 mm are spliced ​​together for grinding. Before grinding, the outer dimensions of the grinding wheels are measured, and the grinding wheel track is compensated according to the results.

[0069] The grinding wheel moves along the crack track. After the cylindrical surface is tangent to the crack surface, the grinding amount of the machined surface / non-machined surface is 1.5 / 1mm.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, after the automatic grinding is completed, the forging will be identified for cracks again. This time, the crack identification will focus on the crack area for photography and identification based on the forging number and the grid number with cracks recorded in the previous period. If there are still cracks, they will be isolated for review and scrapped.
