Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model provides a film edge defect detection device and system, in particular to a film edge crack and burr detection device and system, belonging to the technical field of machine vision detection. Background Art

[0002] Film materials are made of polymer resin as raw material and melted into film by heating. At present, in the production process of film materials, the edges of the formed film need to be cut in real time to cut into films of required size and shape for subsequent processing. However, due to the installation position, angle and wear of the cutting tool, cracks and burrs may exist on the cutting edges. The current situation is that if there are burrs on the edge of the film, a large amount of rough dust will be formed on the edge when the large roll of material is collected, affecting the production environment. If there are cracks, it will cause the roll to be rewound, which will cause the downstream customers to have the risk of film breakage during use.

[0003] In the prior art, the invention patent with publication number CN116203039A proposes a high-speed die-cut film burr detection system and detection method. The detection system includes a motion platform, a first camera, a second camera and a prism. The first camera takes pictures toward the edge of the film, and can move along the edge of the film or adjust the distance between the first camera and the edge of the film under the drive of the motion platform. The second camera is set on one side of the first camera, and uses the prism to simultaneously take pictures of the film, and calculates the center point coordinates by linear fitting. Therefore, it can not only realize the real-time detection function of the edge of the film, but also adjust the camera depth of field by controlling the distance between the line laser camera and the edge of the film through the motor, so as to make the product clearer. Due to the structural setting of the first camera, the second camera and the prism, the detection system solves the problem of image clarity caused by the change of the camera depth of field, but it has the problems of complex structure and high precision required for data processing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] This embodiment is a thin film edge defect detection device.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in the structure, the main components of the detection device include: a bracket 1, a line scan camera 2 and a light source 13. The bracket 1 is a fixed structure arranged above the film conveying platform 3 and along the width direction of the film 4. Both ends of the bracket 1 can be fixed to the film conveying platform 3 through support members 11. The light source 13 is arranged on the film conveying platform 3 and below the film 4. The line scan camera 2 can move horizontally on the bracket 1 and take light-transmitting photos of the edge of the film 4 while the film 4 is being conveyed.

[0028] The line scan camera 2 can adjust its position on the bracket 1 according to the width of the film 4 to ensure that the transmission position of the line scan camera 2 always matches the edge of the film 4. To achieve the position adjustment of the line scan camera 2, the present embodiment is provided with a screw 5, a motor 6 and a slide rail 8 on the bracket 1. The screw 5 and the motor 6 are used in conjunction with each other. The screw 5 and the slide rail 8 are both arranged along the width direction of the film 4. A guide roller 7 is sleeved on the screw 5. The line scan camera 2 is fixed on the guide roller 7. The guide roller 7 is provided with a slider that cooperates with the slide rail 8. The motor 6 drives the screw 5 to rotate. The screw 5 rotates to realize the horizontal movement of the guide roller 7 along the screw 5 and the slide rail 8, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the line scan camera 2.

[0029] In order to ensure that the line scan camera 2 can detect the edges of both sides of the film 4 while it is being transported, in a specific embodiment, two screws 5, two motors 6, two guide rollers 7 and two line scan cameras 2 are respectively arranged on the bracket 1. Specifically, the line scan camera 2 can be configured as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the structure, motors 6 (such as stepping motors) are respectively arranged at the two ends of the bracket 1, and two screws 5 are respectively arranged at positions near the ends of the bracket 1 (i.e. above the edge of the film 4), and the slide rail 8 can be arranged along the entire bracket 1 or as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, two corresponding screws 5 are respectively arranged into two sections of slide rails 8, and two motors 6 respectively control the rotation of the two screws 5, so as to realize the position adjustment of the two corresponding line scan cameras 2 above the edges of both sides of the film 4. In order to accurately control the moving distance of the line scan camera 2 on the bracket 1, a scale mark 9 can be set on the slide rail 8, and a pointer 10 used in conjunction with the scale mark 9 can be set on the guide roller 7. When in use, according to the change in the width of the film material, the scale mark 9 shown by the pointer 10 can be used to quickly and accurately realize the position adjustment of the corresponding line scan camera 2.

[0030] During detection in this embodiment, first, the line scan camera 2 and the light source 13 are turned on, and the line scan camera 2 is used to take a light-transmitting photograph of the edge of the film 4 from the top of the conveying surface of the film 4 downward. During the conveying process of the film 4, if there are burrs and cracks, the transmitted light will be changed and captured by the line scan camera 2, thereby changing the grayscale waveform scanned by the line scan camera 2. The line scan camera 2 captures the scanned grayscale waveform data in real time. After analysis and processing, the detection status of the cracks and burrs at the edge of the film 4 can be obtained.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] This embodiment is a thin film edge defect detection system.

[0033] The main components of the detection system include a bracket 1, a line scan camera 2, a light source 13, an image processor, a display and an alarm, wherein the structures of the bracket 1 and the line scan camera 2 are the same as those of the detection device of Example 1, and the bracket 1 is provided with a screw 5, a motor 6, a slide rail 8 and a guide roller 7, and the line scan camera 2 can realize position adjustment. That is, this embodiment adds the image processor, the display and the alarm on the basis of the detection device of Example 1.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown in the structure, the image processor of this embodiment is connected to the line scan camera 2 and the display through a communication signal, and the image processor is connected to the alarm through a communication signal. During detection, the line scan camera 2 transmits the grayscale waveform data obtained by scanning to the image processor through a communication signal, and the image processor reads the changes in the grayscale waveform to detect related defects. At the same time, after analyzing and processing the defects, data such as the number of defects and the size of defects can be obtained, and the data is transmitted to the display and the alarm through a communication signal at the same time. The display displays the defect situation through the screen, and the alarm gives an alarm light prompt, which is convenient for the inspection personnel to quickly obtain the abnormal situation of the inspection.

[0035] The image processor, display and alarm described in this embodiment can all adopt functional modules integrated by existing software. For example, the image processor can integrate an AI chip, and can perform preset defect classifications for different defects through AI classification, and finally display the screen and give an alarm according to the number and size of the defects. In addition, the communication signals between the image processor, display and alarm can be transmitted wirelessly or wired. When wired signal transmission is adopted, a tank chain 12 can also be set on the corresponding moving track of the device to realize the protection of communication and other related power supply lines.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
