[0002] In the stamping industry, metal plates are often adsorbed together during transportation due to some objective factors (such as air humidity, metal burrs, etc.), causing the mechanical hand suction cup to suck double or multi-plates. Moreover, most double detection instruments on the market only alarm and do not achieve the purpose of estimating the number of plates and actively separating them.

[0003] Chinese patent CN119153350A discloses a calibration method for an eddy current sensor, a thickness measurement method, a device, and a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples. EMBODIMENT

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, a double sheet detection mechanism of a transmission sensor, comprising:

[0026] 1. Transmit and receive coils:

[0027] When detecting 0.5mm-4mm metal sheet material, the same as part of the traditional design, the transmission type installation is adopted. However, the application has innovation in material selection and structure optimization. The transmission coil selects 0.18mm copper wire (0.2mm after painting), unique double-layer structure (N1:N2≈1:3) and specific inner diameter (φ6, φ7.5 after removing skeleton) and outer diameter (φ14) design, combined with the winding mode of receiving coil 0.08mm copper wire (actual 0.1mm), effectively improve the detection sensitivity and stability.

[0028] 2. Coil core:

[0029] The existing detection technology mostly uses ferrite, pure iron or amorphous alloy as the magnetic core material, and the application selects MnZn ferrite (φ6*8mm) through in-depth research. Compared with the pure iron magnetic core which is easy to cause high eddy current loss and the amorphous alloy which is easy to be damaged in the factory environment, the application determines the ferrite permeability (μ0 = 2000), the conductivity (0.01 S / m) and other parameters in the system according to the relationship between the conductivity of the magnetic core and the eddy current loss. In the alternating magnetic field, the low conductivity effectively suppresses the eddy current loss, and when the magnetic permeability is about 1500H / m, the coil impedance and the detection voltage change stably, which ensures the stable and efficient detection performance.

[0030] 3. Function signal generator:

[0031] The application is consistent with the purpose of the same part of the traditional design, and needs to generate a specific frequency waveform signal, but it is different from the traditional design. The application selects AD9833 as the signal generator. AD9833 is a low-power and high-integration DDS circuit, and a small number of external components can generate a high-precision waveform of 0-12.5MHz (such as an external 25Mhz active crystal oscillator with a precision of 0.1hz, and 0.004hz at 1Mhz). It supports multiple waveform outputs, and can flexibly set frequency, phase, mode and other parameters through simple 3 serial interface lines (compatible with SPI) programming control. In the aspect of PCB design, the principle of separating analog ground and digital ground, single-point grounding is strictly followed, the power supply wiring is optimized, and 106 tantalum capacitors and 104 ceramic capacitors are configured for decoupling, which effectively improves the signal quality. After LM1875T power amplification and front-stage voltage follower isolation buffer, the output signal is stable and reliable to drive the subsequent circuit. Compared with the traditional manual resistance adjustment waveform generator (such as MAX038), the application has advantages in precision, cost, wiring and control convenience.

[0032] 4. Signal control and processing circuit:

[0033] The signal processing procedure is common with some existing technologies, but the specific circuit design and component selection are unique. Before amplification, an Omron G6S-2 relay is used to select signals based on material magnetism, driven by an MMBT9012H triode (amplified by 160 times). The light coupling control is carefully designed with a triode pull-up resistor and a relay coil parallel diode to ensure stable and reliable circuit, avoiding interference and component damage. After signal reception, the input signal is selected by a Hongfa JRC-23F relay, which is synchronized with the output selection control. In the core signal processing link, the pi-type wave selection circuit (1Khz-26Khz) accurately filters the frequency, and the typical precision rectifier circuit skillfully processes the signal. Although there is a 0.6V voltage difference, it does not affect the overall function. Finally, the resistance divides the approximately 9V voltage after rectification and filtering to adapt to the AD collection range of the stm32f103 (0-3.3V), ensuring collection accuracy and system compatibility.

[0034] Before detection, accurate calibration is performed for different numbers of metal sheet materials to determine the AD values corresponding to 0 sheets (value0), 1 sheet (value1), 2 sheets or more (value2), and divide them into three precise intervals: greater than value1+(value0-value1) / 2 for 0 sheets, between value1+(value0-value1) / 2 and value2+(value1-value2) / 2 for 1 sheet, and less than value2+(value1-value2) / 2 for 2 sheets or more. During detection, the sensor receives the signal AD value belonging to the interval, quickly and accurately determines the number of metal sheet materials, and effectively improves the detection accuracy and efficiency. Specific embodiments

[0035] As shown in Figures 2-3 During the operation of the tower crane device, the various components work closely together to achieve efficient transportation and removal of metal sheet materials. The base 1 serves as the support foundation, stably supporting the other components of the entire device. The rotating platform 2 is connected to the base 1 through the rotating shaft 4, allowing for rotation operations to ensure that the tower crane can be adjusted to the appropriate working angle. The longitudinal guide rail 3 and the transverse guide rail 8 form a guide system together, allowing the tower crane to move accurately in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The walking mechanism 5 moves through the longitudinal guide rail 3 and the transverse guide rail 8, and is driven by the motor 6. The two motors 6, 7 drive the rotating platform and the walking mechanism respectively, allowing the tower crane to perform rotation and movement tasks simultaneously. The tensioner 10 adjusts the tension of the transmission system to ensure smooth movement of all components. The suction cup 11 is installed on the boom and can grab metal sheet materials through vacuum suction. The suction cup is connected to a motor-driven system, allowing for suction and release operations to complete the removal of metal sheet materials.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 The fixed hole 12-1 of the eddy current sensor is used to stably install the sensor on the measuring device. When detecting, the excitation coil 12-2 is excited by current to generate an alternating magnetic field, which acts on the surrounding conductive object to generate eddy current. The receiving coil 12-3 captures the signal change caused by the eddy current effect by sensing the change of the magnetic field, and converts these signals into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the control system for further analysis.

[0037] When the double sheet detection device detects that the number of metal plates is two or more, the system will automatically start the tower crane to perform the cleaning operation. The tower crane completes the grabbing through the precisely controlled vacuum suction cup, first adjusts the suction cup above the excess plate, starts the suction system to firmly adsorb the plate. Subsequently, the tower crane separates the suction cup from the plate through the lifting action, and uses the 360-degree rotation function to smoothly move the plate to the designated cleaning area. After reaching the target position, the tower crane releases the suction cup and places the plate smoothly, and then recovers the suction cup and prepares to process the next batch of plates.
