DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] See also Figure 1-2 , the embodiments of the utility model are further described;

[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1As shown, a machine vision calibration conversion virtual simulation training platform includes: a workbench 1, a material table 5, a visual inspection component 4, a visual processing system 3, a sorting bin 6 and a gantry handling component 2. The material table 5 is installed on the workbench 1 and is used to place the products to be sorted. The material table 5 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed placement slots, and the products to be sorted can be placed in the placement slots one by one. The placement slots play a certain role in limiting the products and are conducive to neatly placing the products on the material table 5; the visual inspection component 4 is installed on the workbench 1 and is located above the material table 5, and is used to obtain the product image on the material table 5; the visual processing system 3 is installed on the workbench 1 The visual processing system 3 can be a computer or a micro-all-in-one computer. The visual processing system 3 has visual processing software, such as visionmaster or smart software. The visual processing function is based on the existing technology and will not be repeated here. It is used to process the product image obtained by the visual inspection component 4 and obtain the coordinate information and color information of the product. The visual processing system 3 is communicated with the visual inspection component 4 and the gantry handling component 2; a plurality of sorting bins 6 are evenly installed on the workbench 1 for classified storage of products of different colors; the gantry handling component 2 is installed on the workbench 1, and is used to transport the products on the material table 5 to the corresponding sorting bins 6.

[0040] The working principle of the virtual simulation training platform is as follows:

[0041] When in use, the material table 5 is first photographed by the visual detection component 4, and then the coordinate values ​​(x, y) of multiple products (generally 9 products are preferably selected) on the material table 5 are calibrated by the visual processing system 3, and then multiple products of different colors are placed one by one in multiple placement slots on the material table 5, so that the products are neatly placed on the material table 5. It should be noted that there are several sorting bins 6 for products of several colors, and one color corresponds to one sorting bin 6, for example: Figure 1 In the figure, there are products of three colors: red, yellow and blue, and these three colors correspond to the left, middle and right sorting bins 6 respectively; after multiple products are placed, the product image is captured by the visual detection component 4, and the image information captured by the visual detection component 4 will be transmitted to the visual processing system 3, and the visual processing system 3 will calibrate and convert the multiple products of different colors in the picture one by one, obtain the coordinate value corresponding to each product, and identify the color of the product. Thereafter, the visual processing system 3 sends the coordinate information and color information of the target product to the gantry handling component 2, and the gantry handling component 2 moves to the target product, grabs the target product, and finally transports the target product to the corresponding sorting bin 6. According to the above operations, the remaining products can be sorted in the corresponding sorting bin 6. After completing the sorting operation, the gantry handling component 2 returns to the initial position. Through interaction with the virtual scene and participation in actual operations, users can obtain a more specific and intuitive learning experience, and deepen their understanding of machine vision technology and the cultivation of application capabilities.

[0042] It should be noted that the virtual simulation training platform can freely create and adjust different training environments on the workbench 1 according to actual needs, such as adjusting the positions of the visual inspection component 4, the material table 5 and the sorting bin 6 to simulate different training environments. Labeling components (not shown) and packaging components (not shown) and other product processing components can also be set on the workbench 1 to cooperate with the gantry handling component 2, the visual processing system 3 and the visual inspection component 4 to work together. More machine working scenes can be combined to simulate, and the virtual simulation training platform does not need to be limited by the physical space and the number of equipment. Of course, the visual processing system 3 is not limited to obtaining the coordinate value and color of the product in the picture, but can also identify the shape and size of the product to realize the sorting of products of different shapes and sizes.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0044] 1. Different training environments can be freely created and adjusted on the virtual simulation training platform according to actual needs to adapt to the needs of different scenarios and tasks, while avoiding frequent switching and adjustment of equipment to improve training efficiency;

[0045] 2. The virtual simulation training platform does not depend on the status of physical equipment, avoiding the interruption of the verification process due to equipment failure;

[0046] 3. With the use of the virtual simulation training platform, the calibration and verification process of the machine vision system is more efficient, safe and flexible, laying a solid foundation for platform optimization in practical applications;

[0047] 4. Through interaction with virtual scenes and participation in actual operations, users can gain a more specific and intuitive learning experience, deepen their understanding of machine vision technology and cultivate their application capabilities;

[0048] 5. The use of a virtual simulation training platform solves the problem that due to the high price of hardware equipment, multiple people often share one device during the teaching process, and due to the limited number of devices, task verification cannot be performed simultaneously, which greatly reduces the learning effect.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the gantry handling assembly 2 includes: a gantry 21, a longitudinal electric guide rail 22, a transverse electric guide rail 23, a mounting seat 24 and a pneumatic clamp 25. The gantry 21 is provided with two and is respectively fixed on both sides of the top of the workbench 1; the longitudinal electric guide rail 22 is provided with two and is respectively installed on the top of the two gantries 21; the transverse electric guide rail 23 is installed between the two longitudinal electric guide rails 22; the mounting seat 24 is installed on the transverse electric guide rail 23; and the pneumatic clamp 25 is installed on the mounting seat 24.

[0050] The visual inspection component 4 includes: a bracket 41 and a camera 43 . The bracket 41 is installed on the top of the workbench 1 and is close to the material table 5 . The camera 43 is installed on the top of the bracket 41 through a mounting rod and is located above the material table 5 .

[0051] On the basis of the above, the visual detection component 4 also includes an annular light source 42, which is installed on the bracket 41 and is located closely below the camera 43, and has a through hole 421, and the camera 43 lens is aligned with the through hole 421.

[0052] In addition, a storage cabinet 11 is provided inside the workbench 1, and the outer wall of the workbench 1 is open all around, and cabinet doors 12 are installed at the open ends, and Fumar wheels 13 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the workbench 1;

[0053] In this embodiment, the locker 11 is used to store the products used for the training operation. When the virtual simulation training platform is used, the workbench 1 can be pushed to drive the Forma wheel 13 at the bottom thereof to roll, so that the workbench 1 can be moved to the desired location;

[0054] Then, the cabinet door 12 is opened, and multiple products in the storage cabinet 11 can be taken out and placed in multiple placement slots on the material table 5. The brightness of the annular light source 42 is adjusted according to the training environment. Since the lens of the camera 43 is aimed at the through hole 421, the camera 43 will pass through the quasi-through hole 421 to shoot the product image. The camera 43 and the annular light source 42 are arranged up and down, and the light emitted by the annular light source 42 directly hits the product, which can reduce the shadow of the product caused by fill light, which is conducive to better shooting effect of the camera 43. The image information captured by the camera 43 will be transmitted to the visual processing system 3, and the visual processing system 3 will calibrate and convert multiple products of different colors in the picture one by one, obtain the coordinate value corresponding to each product, and identify the color of the product;

[0055] According to the color and coordinate value information of the product, the visual processing system 3 will start the longitudinal electric guide rail 22 and the transverse electric guide rail 23 to drive the mounting seat 24 and the pneumatic clamp 25 to move longitudinally and transversely. When the pneumatic clamp 25 moves to the target coordinate value, the pneumatic clamp 25 is started to descend. The pneumatic clamp 25 includes a vertical lifting cylinder, a clamping cylinder and a clamp. The vertical lifting cylinder is installed on the mounting seat 24, the clamping cylinder is installed on the vertical lifting cylinder shell, and the clamp is installed on the clamping cylinder. The clamp is driven to rise and fall by the vertical lifting cylinder, and the clamp is opened or closed by the clamping cylinder to clamp the target product. After grabbing the target product, the clamp is clamped, and then the vertical lifting cylinder rises to drive the clamp and the target product to move up. The use of the pneumatic clamp 25 is based on the existing technology. It should be noted that the longitudinal displacement of the pneumatic clamp 25 and the material table 5, and the pneumatic clamp 25 and the sorting bin 6 is determined, so the displacement of the vertical lifting cylinder can be set in advance by the visual processing system 3;

[0056] Then continue to start the longitudinal electric guide rail 22 and the transverse electric guide rail 23 to move the mounting seat 24, the pneumatic clamp 25 and the target product to the corresponding sorting bin 6, release the clamp, and according to the above operation, the remaining products can be sorted in the corresponding sorting bin 6. After completing the sorting operation, the mounting seat 24 and the pneumatic clamp 25 return to the initial position.
