The latter, a commonly used method, is primarily divided into mechanical and non-mechanical methods, but suffers from complex sample preparation processes, difficulty simulating real cracks, and difficulty controlling crack width. Therefore, a machine vision-based apparent crack creation and control device is urgently needed to efficiently construct crack datasets and improve the accuracy of crack width identification using deep learning algorithms.

[0045] Preferably, the mold embedded plate 4 is provided with evenly distributed through holes 7, which increases the contact area of ​​the slurry on the upper and lower sides of the mold embedded plate 4, which is conducive to the upper and lower layers of slurry being tightly connected with the mold embedded plate 4 panel after solidification to form a whole.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the cracks are created and controlled using the machine vision apparent crack creation and control device, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] (1) Molding

[0055] Based on the idea of ​​dividing the crack into two, the crack is split into upper and lower edges, and the upper and lower crack templates are cast twice through the molding container.

[0056] During molding, first connect the horizontal baffle 8 and the vertical baffle 9 with nuts 11 and horizontal assembly screws 13 to form a baffle around the container, with one side of the lap strip 14 facing inward; then use nuts 11 and vertical assembly screws 12 to fix it to the bottom plate 10, thereby forming the molded container 5 as a whole.

[0057] When casting the formwork, first adhere the crack-shaped base film to the inside of the smooth transverse baffle 8 (without the overlap strips 14), then pour the slurry to half the height of the molding container 5. Next, place the molding insert 4 horizontally at half the height of the molding container 5 using the overlap strips 14. Pour the remaining slurry until the molding container 5 is filled, and vibrate to ensure good contact between the upper and lower layers of concrete.

[0058] In particular, the through holes 7 increase the contact area of ​​the slurry on the upper and lower sides of the mold embedding plate 4, which is conducive to the upper and lower layers of slurry being tightly connected with the mold embedding plate 4 panel after solidification to form a whole.

[0059] (2) Demolding

[0060] After the slurry is completely solidified, the crack template and the mold embedding plate 4 are integrated.

[0061] At this time, the horizontal baffle 8, the vertical baffle 9, the bottom plate 10, the nut 11, the vertical assembly screw 12, and the horizontal assembly screw 13 are removed to obtain the upper and lower crack templates respectively.

[0062] (3) Template installation

[0063] The upper and lower crack templates are assembled in sequence through the embedded plate columns 6 on the mold embedded plate 4 and the assembly through holes 25, so that the mold embedded plate 4 is connected to the crossbar adjustment mechanism 2.

[0064] (4) Crack creation and control

[0065] Adjust the ball joint 24 to ensure that the cracks of the two templates are in relative positions. After determining the required crack width, first use the coarse adjustment knob 22 to control the adjustment slider 16 to move significantly, so that the upper and lower crack templates move toward each other to form cracks.

[0066] When the distance between the upper and lower crack templates is close to the required crack width, the fine adjustment knob 23 is used to control the adjustment slider 16 for fine adjustment. During the adjustment process, the crack width is continuously observed with a crack width meter until the crack width reaches the requirement.

[0067] In addition, once the required crack angle is determined, the crack angle can be changed by rotating the cross bar 15 around the center of the rotation axis.

[0068] (5) Obtain machine vision crack images

[0069] After setting up the machine vision image acquisition system, adjust the height of the crossbar adjustment mechanism 2 through the conversion joint 18 so that the crack is in the middle of the picture, and then start image data acquisition. A single set of crack templates can generate a large amount of image data with different crack widths and different crack angles.

[0070] In summary, the machine vision apparent crack manufacturing and control device can realize the manufacturing and splicing of cracks, and can freely adjust the crack width and angle. When combined with a machine vision image acquisition system, it can improve the efficiency and quality of image data acquisition.

[0071] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
