Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel production equipment, in particular to an identification and counting device for tubular steel. Background Art

[0002] In the current industrial production environment, especially in the field of steel manufacturing and processing, the identification and counting of tubular steel is a crucial link. However, traditional counting methods, such as manual counting or simple mechanical counting, often have problems such as low efficiency, low precision, and high labor intensity, which cannot meet the needs of modern industrial production for high efficiency, accuracy, and automation.

[0003] First, although the manual counting method is intuitive, it is limited by human vision and reaction speed. Long-term operation will not only cause visual fatigue, but also may cause counting errors. In addition, the manual counting method also requires a lot of human resources, which increases production costs.

[0004] Secondly, although the traditional mechanical counting method has improved the counting efficiency to a certain extent, it is often unable to adapt to tubular steels of different specifications and materials due to the limitations of its design principles, and there are also certain difficulties in identifying and counting steel in complex environments.

[0005] Therefore, developing a device that can use image acquisition technology to quickly identify and count tubular steel has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current steel manufacturing and processing field. For example, China Utility Model Patent (Application No.: 2015109645270) discloses a round bar shearing counting device, which solves the problem of manual counting wasting manpower and material resources and being prone to errors. The key points of its technical solution are that it includes a positioning bracket and a positioning rod. The positioning rod can move on the positioning bracket and conflict with the steel. The positioning bracket is also provided with a detection device for detecting the number of times the positioning rod moves and outputting a counting signal. The detection device is connected to a counter to receive the counting signal output by the detection device. In the round bar shearing counting device of the present invention, the positioning rod conflicts with the steel and is moved by the steel until it stops, and then the steel is cut by the cutting mechanism. At the same time, the number of times the positioning rod moves in the positioning bracket is detected by the detection device, and the counting signal is transmitted to the counter to realize counting, thereby realizing the function of automatic counting and reducing the problems caused by manual counting.

[0006] In recent years, with the rapid development of computer vision and image processing technology, new solutions have been provided for steel identification and counting. The image information of steel is obtained through image acquisition equipment, and then the image is preprocessed, feature extracted and identified using image processing technology. Finally, the automatic counting of steel is realized through counting algorithms. This method not only improves the counting efficiency, but also greatly improves the counting accuracy and reduces the need for manual intervention.

[0007] However, existing steel material identification and counting devices still have some problems in practical applications. For example, the image features of tubular steels of different specifications and materials may vary greatly, resulting in poor recognition results. At the same time, in complex environments, such as uneven lighting and noise interference, the stability and reliability of the device will also be affected. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the utility model provides a steel material identification and counting device that can quickly identify and count tubular steel materials by enhancing the illumination and then using image acquisition technology.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the steel identification and counting device of this embodiment includes a base 1, a mounting bracket 2 is arranged on the upper part of the base 1, a counting component is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket 2, and the counting component includes a positioning plate 3 connected to the mounting bracket 2, and an image acquisition module 4 and an illuminating lamp 5 are arranged on the outer wall of the positioning plate 3. After the illuminating lamp 5 is used to illuminate the area to be counted, the image is acquired by the image acquisition module 4, and then the acquired image is transmitted to the central control device for comparison to obtain the number of steel bars (the central control device is not shown). Compared with the existing technical devices, the design of the illuminating lamp 5 provides a better lighting environment during image acquisition, and the number of tubular steels in a specific area can be counted faster and better, with high efficiency and without excessive human intervention, thereby improving the comprehensive efficiency of quantity counting.

[0026] The image acquisition module 4 adopts a camera, and there are two lighting lamps 5 which are respectively located on both sides of the camera. By increasing the number of lighting lamps 5, the brightness can be improved.

[0027] A fixing seat 6 for mounting the image acquisition module 4 is provided on the side wall of the positioning plate 3, light-blocking plates 7 for isolating the lighting lamp 5 and the image acquisition module 4 are provided on both sides of the fixing seat 6, and a focusing ring plate 8 located outside the lighting lamp 5 is provided around the positioning plate 3. An arc-shaped chamber is provided on the side of the positioning plate 3, and the fixing seat 6 is located at the top of the arc, and a reflective layer is attached to the inner wall of the arc-shaped chamber.

[0028] The outer end surface of the light blocking plate 7 extends to the outside of the lens of the image acquisition module, which can isolate the light source without affecting the shooting range, avoiding glare affecting the shooting effect when taking pictures. The height of the light blocking plate 7 is less than the height of the focusing ring plate 8.

[0029] The back of the positioning plate 3 is connected to the mounting bracket 2 via a ball head seat 9. The design of the ball head seat 9 can fine-tune the angle of the positioning plate 3 to meet the shooting requirements of different shooting environments.

[0030] The mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting sleeve 10 for connecting the positioning plate 3, and a jacking device for adjusting the height of the positioning plate 3 is provided in the mounting sleeve 10. The jacking device includes a positioning seat 11, and the lower part of the positioning seat 11 is connected to the base 1, and the upper part extends into the mounting sleeve 10. A jacking cylinder 12 is installed in the middle of the positioning seat 11, and the telescopic end of the jacking cylinder 12 is connected to the mounting sleeve 10. The jacking device can adjust the height of the positioning plate 3, take photos and collect data in different areas, and improve the data collection range of the entire equipment. In normal operating conditions, the mounting sleeve 10 is mounted on the outside of the positioning seat 11, which is the lowest point in the data collection range and can be used for the quantity collection operation of steel piled on the ground.

[0031] A traveling wheel 13 is installed at the lower part of the base 1. There are four traveling wheels 13, which are driven by a motor. The traveling wheels 13 can be used to drive the entire device to move and calculate the quantity of materials in different areas.

[0032] Working principle / assembly process of this solution: The base 1 can be driven to move by the walking wheels 13. After walking to the working area, the positioning plate 3 is facing the material to be collected, and then the lighting lamp 5 is turned on to enhance the light intensity of the area to be collected. After taking pictures with the image acquisition module, the data is transmitted to the central control for data processing and quantity statistics. When the height of the collection area exceeds the conventional collection range, the position of the positioning plate 3 is raised by the jacking equipment, and then the image of the material at the high place is collected and counted.
