Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to an image and laser detection device and equipment for appearance feature recognition, and more particularly to a visual recognition device for the appearance features of precast panels. Background Technology
[0002] As a product of the construction industry's development, prefabricated buildings have great potential in the current context of green and low-carbon transformation and sustainable development. With increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and resource conservation, the construction industry faces an urgent need for transformation and upgrading. Traditional construction methods often involve significant resource waste, environmental pollution, and low construction efficiency. Prefabricated buildings, with their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and energy conservation, have become an important direction for the green transformation of the construction industry. By using prefabricated components in factories and assembling them on-site, prefabricated buildings can significantly reduce noise, dust, and waste emissions at construction sites, effectively improve building quality and construction efficiency, and shorten construction cycles. Furthermore, the disassembly and reusability of prefabricated buildings provide unique advantages for sustainable development, contributing to the optimal allocation of resources and environmentally friendly development throughout the building's entire life cycle. Globally, more and more countries and regions are including prefabricated buildings in their policy support and promotion priorities, driving the construction industry towards a green, low-carbon, and sustainable direction.
[0003] Precast slabs refer to reinforced concrete slab components prefabricated in specialized prefabrication plants or on construction sites. These components are then transported to the construction site for assembly, forming a complete building structure. This method offers numerous advantages in the construction industry, effectively increasing the degree of factory-based and mechanized construction while reducing on-site work, saving time, and minimizing the impact of the construction environment on work. To ensure that precast wall panels meet the expected quality standards before installation, they must undergo rigorous quality testing before being transported to the construction site. This includes, but is not limited to, testing the dimensional accuracy, surface flatness, strength, and positional accuracy of embedded parts. Only when all tested items meet the design requirements can the subsequent installation work proceed smoothly, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of the entire construction project.
[0004] Traditional methods for inspecting the shape features of precast slabs mainly rely on manual methods. Visual inspection is one of the most primitive and common inspection methods. Workers use their naked eyes to observe the appearance of the precast slabs and check for obvious defects such as cracks, holes, and deformation. Dimensional measurement is performed by directly measuring the geometric dimensions of the precast slabs, such as length, width, and thickness, using tools such as tape measures and rulers to ensure that they meet the specifications on the design drawings. Mold comparison is performed by comparing the precast slabs with the molds to check whether their shape is consistent with the molds. This method is mainly used to detect the flatness and edge integrity of the precast slabs. This method has many problems: (1) It is easily affected by subjective judgment, leading to misjudgment or omission; (2) There is insufficient standardization, and the inspection standards and methods of different inspectors may differ, leading to inconsistent inspection results; (3) The inspection environment (light, temperature, humidity) may affect the judgment of the inspectors; (4) As working time increases, the visual fatigue of the inspectors will greatly increase the false detection rate; (5) Manual inspection will increase production costs; (6) It cannot meet the requirements of high efficiency, high precision, intelligent and batch inspection of precast slab products.
