Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of window cleaning robot testing fixtures, specifically relating to a window cleaning robot testing device. Background Technology
[0002] When a window cleaning robot moves on a glass facade, its movement trajectory may be uneven or tilted too much due to gravity. As a result, it may not be able to cover the previous cleaning path when changing rows, leading to missed cleaning spots.
[0003] During factory testing, window cleaning robots need to be allowed to automatically run several rows or walk across the entire glass surface. Visual inspection or CCD vision testing is used to check whether the robot's trajectory on the glass is straight, or a ruler is used to evaluate its offset distance, in order to determine whether there are any missed areas.
[0004] Disadvantages of visual inspection solutions:
[0005] 1. Visual inspection may lead to errors, resulting in misjudgments (classifying qualified products as unqualified or unqualified products as qualified);
[0006] 2. The testing process takes a long time and requires constant monitoring, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, if any product fails to meet the standards, recalibration and retesting must be done manually.
[0007] Disadvantages of CCD detection methods:
[0008] 1. The equipment is expensive, the subsequent maintenance costs are high, and the testing and judgment require repeated debugging;
[0009] 2. The detection principle is indirect detection, and the detection accuracy is affected by factors such as CCD accuracy, lens distortion, and installation position deviation;
[0010] 3. The equipment occupies a large area, and a large space is required when multiple tools are arranged at the same time. Utility Model Content
[0011] This invention addresses the problems of misjudgment and excessive manpower and time consumption in visual inspection window cleaning robots, as well as the problems of high equipment cost and large equipment footprint in CCD inspection solutions.
[0012] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a window cleaning robot detection device, including glass, the glass is fixed on a glass bracket in an upright position, an infrared touch screen is attached to one side of the glass, the glass surface within the range of the infrared touch screen serves as a wiping test area, and the infrared touch screen is connected to a computer device.
[0013] Furthermore, the glass support includes a glass frame that supports a single piece of glass and a base that clamps several glass frames. The glass frame is a rectangular frame, and positioning blocks are provided at the four corners of the glass frame. The infrared touch screen is embedded in the four positioning blocks and installed on the base together with the glass frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the base has an upward-facing slot, and the infrared touch screen is embedded in the glass frame and inserted into the slot. The slot horizontally restricts the lower end of the infrared touch screen.
[0015] It also includes a clamp with slots that are spaced and wided to the slots on the base. The clamp is held in place by the slots on the top of the glass frame, and the slots horizontally restrict the upper part of the infrared touchscreen.
[0016] Furthermore, casters are installed at the bottom of the base.
[0017] Furthermore, a power strip is provided on the base, and the power strip is connected to the same external cable.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0019] This invention provides a window cleaning robot detection device that uses infrared touchscreen technology to detect the robot's movement trajectory. It can identify and automatically calibrate missed cleaning areas in real time. The multi-station testing fixture can test multiple window cleaning robots simultaneously. Compared to CCD detection methods, it requires less floor space, has lower fixture and hardware / software configuration costs, and lower maintenance costs.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0023] like Figure 1The diagram shows a window cleaning robot detection device, comprising a glass panel 1, which is vertically fixed to a glass support. An infrared touchscreen 2 is attached to one side of the glass panel 1. The infrared touchscreen 2 is a hollow frame without a physical screen. The surface of the glass panel 1 within the range of the infrared touchscreen 2 serves as the wiping test area. The infrared touchscreen 2 is connected to a computer. After the window cleaning robot moves across the wiping surface of the glass panel 1, the infrared touchscreen 2 displays its trajectory, which is then recorded in the computer. The computer can then visually observe the robot's trajectory and identify any missed areas.
[0024] The glass support includes a glass frame 3 that supports a single piece of glass and a base 4 that holds several glass frames 3. The glass frame 3 is a rectangular frame. The glass 1 is fixed in the glass frame 3. The fixing method between the glass 1 and the glass frame 3 is the same as the prior art. Positioning blocks 3.1 are set at the four corners of the glass frame 3. The positioning blocks 3.1 are right-angled structures. The infrared touch screen 2 is embedded in the four positioning blocks 3.1 and installed on the base 4 together with the glass frame 3. The height of the positioning blocks 3.1 is the same as the height of the frame of the infrared touch screen 2.
[0025] The base 4 has an upward-facing slot 4.1. The infrared touch screen 2 is mounted on the glass frame 3 and inserted into the slot 4.1. The slot 4.1 horizontally restricts the lower end of the infrared touch screen 2.
[0026] It also includes a clamp 5, which has slots 5.1 that are spaced and have the same width as the slots 4.1 on the base 4. The clamp 5 is clamped to the top of the glass frame 3 through the slots 5.1, and the slots 5.1 horizontally restrict the upper end of the infrared touch screen 2. Several glass frames 3 are supported by the clamps 5 to improve stability.
[0027] The clamp 5, glass frame 3, base 4, and infrared touch screen 2 are connected by a quick assembly structure, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.
[0028] The base 4 is equipped with casters 6 for easy movement.
[0029] The base 4 is equipped with a power strip 7, which powers the window cleaning robot. The power strip 7 is connected to the same external cable, and the external wiring harness is neat.
[0030] The infrared touchscreen 2, model IX5100, is installed on the glass 1 of the inspection fixture. Connected to desktop software via a serial-to-USB converter, the touchscreen 2 records the window cleaning robot's movement trajectory in real time. The inspector attaches the window cleaning robot to the glass 1 and clicks "Start Test" on the desktop software. The software sends a run command via serial port, and the robot enters test mode and completes one inspection cycle. After wiping several rows, the software automatically analyzes the movement trajectory to determine if it meets the factory inspection standards. If it does, the software issues a pass audio / visual notification.
[0031] The multi-unit testing fixture has a small footprint, allowing testing personnel to complete multi-station loading and unloading without frequent movement. The computer software monitors multiple test glass fixtures simultaneously, and the testing personnel only need to perform the initial adsorption and start-up actions, as well as classify and dispose of qualified and unqualified window cleaning robots after the test is completed.
[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
