Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic cable winding and arranging equipment, and in particular to an automatic cable arranging device based on visual fusion perception. Background Art

[0002] While existing cable take-up equipment provides basic cable routing capabilities, enabling manual routing for slower production processes, the equipment's response speed and accuracy may not meet the requirements for high-speed production lines. Cable pulling and automatic reversing after the cable reaches the edge are key areas where fully automation is difficult with existing equipment. This typically requires manual intervention, increasing labor costs and potentially impacting production efficiency and safety. This addresses the pain points of automatic cable routing during the cable take-up process. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an automatic cable arrangement device based on visual fusion perception, which solves the response speed, arrangement accuracy, and automation problems of cable pulling and automatic reversing after reaching the edge of existing cable taking-up equipment in a high-speed production environment.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0005] An automatic cable routing device based on visual fusion perception includes a supporting frame structure, a crisscross guide wheel, a lateral motion device, a longitudinal motion device, a 2D image acquisition device, a 3D image acquisition device, a control platform, an operating platform and an alarm. These components together constitute the device's efficient and intelligent cable routing capabilities.

[0006] The lateral motion device is deployed in the control platform at the bottom of the support frame and is used to achieve lateral movement of the support frame;

[0007] The well-shaped guide wheel is fixed on the support frame and can move up and down on the support frame;

[0008] The longitudinal motion device is arranged on the supporting frame structure and is used to drive the well-shaped guide wheel to move in the vertical direction;

[0009] The 2D image acquisition device is arranged on the well-shaped guide wheel;

[0010] The 3D image device is arranged on the control platform, and the operating platform is arranged on the 3D image device and is rotatable.

[0011] Further,

[0012] The support frame structure is composed of aluminum profiles. This not only ensures the overall rigidity of the equipment, enabling it to withstand the various forces and moments generated during cable routing, but also reduces the weight of the equipment. Alarms are deployed on the side of the support frame. When the equipment detects any abnormality in cable routing, the alarms immediately emit audible and visual alarms, alerting the operator to timely action.

[0013] The support frame structure serves as the main framework of the entire equipment, supporting all other components. Using aluminum extrusions as its primary structure is a cost-effective and efficient choice. It provides a stable mounting point for the crisscross guide wheels, ensuring they can guide the cables along their intended path. Furthermore, working closely with the lateral and longitudinal motion mechanisms, the support frame provides a stable operating platform for these devices, ensuring they can precisely control the direction and position of cable movement, enabling automatic simulation of cable reversal and abnormal cable routing.

[0014] The support frame features two longitudinal beams, housing a longitudinal motion mechanism comprised of a servo motor, lead screw, and guide rails. This mechanism guides the vertical movement of the crisscross guide wheels to accommodate changes in cable height during reeling. Alarms are also located on the longitudinal beams. If the equipment detects an anomaly in cable routing, they immediately emit audible and visual alarms, alerting operators to address the situation promptly.

[0015] The T-shaped guide wheel is an adaptive guide wheel structure fixed to the support frame. It consists of two transverse guide wheels and two longitudinal guide wheels, forming a "T-shaped" layout. The two transverse guide wheels are arranged parallel to each other at the front of the support frame, primarily supporting and guiding cables moving horizontally. The two longitudinal guide wheels are arranged perpendicular to the transverse guide wheels, forming the other side of the T-shaped pattern. Their primary function is to support and guide cables moving vertically and perpendicular to the transverse guide wheels.

[0016] Each guide wheel is equipped with a pneumatic cylinder. This cylinder, through air pressure regulation, drives the guide wheel to move slightly along its axis, thereby gently clamping the cable passing between the guide wheels. The clamping force is set to ensure stable positioning of the cable to prevent it from shaking or falling off, while also avoiding excessive tightening that could damage the cable.

[0017] The cylinder device also has the ability to dynamically adjust the clamping force as needed during the operation of the equipment to adapt to changes in cable diameter, material or tension requirements, ensuring that the cable can maintain stable and smooth movement under different working conditions.

[0018] Further,

[0019] The lateral motion mechanism, deployed at the base of the support frame, enables lateral movement of the support frame, addressing cable sideways and irregularities in cable routing. The lateral motion mechanism integrates a slide rail, slider, servo motor, and lead screw. The slide rail is the foundation of the lateral motion mechanism, providing the track along which the slider moves. The slider is mounted on the rail and can slide freely along it. The servo motor and lead screw drive the slider.

[0020] The longitudinal motion device is arranged on the supporting frame structure, and includes a slide rail structure, a screw rod structure and a servo motor, which is used to drive the well-shaped guide wheel to move up and down.

[0021] Further,

[0022] The 2D image acquisition device consists of a support plate structure and a position adjustment device. The support plate structure serves as the foundation for the entire image acquisition device. It is fixed above a crisscross guide wheel and moves synchronously with the up and down movement of the crisscross guide wheel. The position adjustment device, deployed between the area array camera and the support plate structure, adjusts the position of the area array camera to suit image acquisition requirements in different environments.

[0023] The position adjustment device is divided into a linear adjustment device and an angle adjustment device. The linear adjustment device provides smooth and continuous adjustment capabilities, driving the area scan camera in linear motion to adapt to image acquisition requirements at different positions. The angle adjustment device, connected between the linear adjustment device and the area scan camera, allows flexible adjustment of the camera's pitch and tilt angles, ensuring that the camera is always aligned with the target area and captures the optimal image quality.

[0024] The linear motion mechanism is mounted on the support plate structure and provides linear motion for the area scan camera. The angle adjustment mechanism, connected to the area scan camera and mounted on the linear motion mechanism, precisely controls the camera's rotation and tilt angles, ensuring it consistently focuses on the target area and captures optimal images. Remote control and automated adjustment are also supported, enhancing the system's intelligence and ease of operation.

[0025] Further,

[0026] The 3D imaging device consists of a support and stabilization frame, a lifting and adjustment device, an angle adjustment device, and a horizontal displacement device. The support frame structure is raised and lowered using the lifting and adjustment device, with the top extending forward to the front of the take-up reel. A 3D camera is deployed at the end of the support and stabilization frame's extended structure. A servo motor controls the camera's angle adjustment, allowing the camera to find the optimal oblique shooting angle. A horizontal displacement device is also deployed at the bottom of the support and stabilization frame, allowing the 3D camera to make subtle horizontal adjustments, ensuring that the camera can capture the contour information of the reel surface throughout the entire process, eliminating blind spots in the field of view.

[0027] Furthermore, the control platform is integrated into the base of the wiring device, and a reasonable wiring structure is adopted inside to arrange and fix the connection lines between various electrical components in an orderly manner. In order to maintain air circulation inside the control cabinet, a ventilation system is designed, including air inlets, exhaust ports and ventilation ducts, to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the air inside the control cabinet.

[0028] The control platform consists of an image processing unit and an electrical control unit. The image processing unit processes raw image data from 2D and 3D image acquisition devices, using artificial intelligence algorithms to perform image recognition, target tracking, and feature extraction. The electrical control unit issues control commands, driving actuators such as the lateral and longitudinal motion devices to automatically route cables and achieve precise control of the support platform.

[0029] Further,

[0030] The operating platform is combined with the 3D camera support structure and given a rotation function, so the operator can easily adjust the angle and position of the operating platform as needed.

[0031] The control platform shell is equipped with metal telescopic plate protection, which can effectively resist external physical impact and wear and tear, and protect the electrical components inside the control cabinet from damage.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the utility model are

[0033] This device uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze image data and automatically complete cable routing and anomaly detection tasks. This not only significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of cable reeling, but also greatly reduces labor costs and effectively reduces cable routing anomalies caused by human error. The application of this utility model provides strong technical support for the upgrading and transformation of enterprises' automated production lines, helping to promote the intelligent development of the cable production industry.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] This utility model provides an automatic cable routing device based on visual fusion perception. Its main structure consists of two parts: an image acquisition device and a support platform. Both parts support multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment, ensuring the system can flexibly respond to various complex cable routing requirements. The image acquisition device acts as the "eyes," capturing and processing cable information in real time; the support platform, acting as the "body," integrates key components such as the adaptive wire pulley and actuator, forming a highly efficient and collaborative whole.

[0042] Specifically, it includes a support frame 1, a well-shaped guide wheel 2, a lateral motion device 3, a longitudinal motion device 4, a 2D image acquisition device 5, a 3D image acquisition device 6, a support platform base mechanism 7, an operating platform 8 and an alarm 9.

[0043] The supporting frame structure 1 is composed of an aluminum structural frame with two longitudinal beam structures. On the one hand, it provides a stable mounting point for the cross-shaped guide wheel. On the other hand, it cooperates with the lateral motion device and the longitudinal motion device to provide a stable operating platform for these motion devices, ensuring that they can accurately control the movement direction and position of the cable.

[0044] The well-shaped guide wheel 2 consists of four rotatable roller structures: two transverse guide wheel structures 21 and two longitudinal guide wheel structures 22. This arrangement forms a "well"-like shape. This structure restrains cable swing in four directions without damaging the cable. The transverse and longitudinal guide wheel structures are driven by a cylinder device 23 to adjust the spacing to accommodate cables of varying diameters.

[0045] The lateral motion mechanism 3 is a system integrated with a slide rail 31, a slider 32, a screw mechanism 33, and a servo motor 34, deployed in the base of the support frame. As the power unit for the lateral movement of the support frame structure, the servo motor drives the entire support frame structure, enabling automatic reversal of cable winding and handling of abnormal cable routing.

[0046] The longitudinal motion device 4 is arranged on the supporting frame structure, and includes a slide rail structure 41, a screw structure 42, a reducer 43 and a servo motor 44, which is used to drive the cross-shaped guide wheel to move up and down to adapt to the height change during the cable winding process.

[0047] The 2D image acquisition device 5 consists of a support plate structure and a position adjustment device. The support plate structure 51 is fixed above the crisscross guide wheel and moves synchronously with the up and down movement of the crisscross guide wheel. The position adjustment device is divided into a linear motion device 52 and an angle adjustment device 53. The linear motion device is responsible for the linear movement of the area array camera 54, while the angle adjustment device allows for flexible adjustment of the camera's pitch and tilt angles, ensuring that the camera is always aligned with the target area and captures the optimal image quality.

[0048] The 3D image acquisition device 6 consists of a support and stabilization frame 61, a lifting and adjustment device 62, a horizontal displacement device 63, an angle adjustment device 64, and a 3D camera 65. The support frame structure is responsible for supporting and stabilizing the entire system, ensuring that it is not shaken or offset by external interference during the acquisition process. It is raised and lowered by a servo motor, and the top extends forward to above the front of the take-up reel. The 3D camera is deployed at the end of the extended structure of the support and stabilization frame. The 3D camera adjusts its angle via a rotary motor to find the optimal oblique shooting angle. A horizontal displacement device is also deployed at the bottom of the support frame, allowing the 3D camera to fine-tune its horizontal position in real time while scanning the surface contour information of the reel, eliminating blind spots in the imaging field of view.

[0049] The support platform base mechanism 7 also integrates an image processing unit and an electrical control unit, greatly simplifying the system layout, reducing wiring complexity, and improving the overall system's compactness and efficiency. A metal telescopic plate protects the base, addressing potential environmental threats to the device's internal components. The metal telescopic plate is not only strong and corrosion-resistant, effectively resisting physical impact, but also absorbs some of the impact energy through its telescopic mechanism when subjected to external forces, reducing the impact force directly transmitted to internal components.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is intended only to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
