[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, both the first translation component 3 and the second translation component 4 include a first linear module, a second linear module, and a first drive motor 9; wherein, the movement directions of the first linear module and the second linear module are both horizontal and perpendicular to each other, that is, the movement directions of the first linear module and the second linear module are along the X and Y directions; the calibration frame 2 includes two columns 22 and a vertical plate 23, and each of the two columns 22 has a sliding groove 12 on one side of its opposite side along the vertical direction. The two sides of one end of the first linear module along its length are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 12, that is, the first linear module... The translation slide of the first linear module is slidably connected to two slide grooves 12 on both sides at one end; a rack 11 is provided in the middle of the vertical plate 23 along the vertical direction and guide grooves 13 are provided on both sides along the vertical direction; fixed wheels 10 are provided on both sides at the other end of the length direction of the first linear module, and the two fixed wheels 10 correspond one-to-one with the two guide grooves 13 and are rolledly connected; the first drive motor 9 is connected to the translation slide of the first linear module, and the output shaft of the first drive motor 9 is provided with a gear, which is adapted to mesh with the rack 11; the translation slide of the second linear module is connected to the linear slider of the first linear module.

[0040] The first and second linear modules of this utility model both include a translation slide 26, a linear slider 27, a lead screw 28, and a third drive motor 29; the lead screw 28 is rotatably mounted on the translation slide 26, and the third drive motor 29 is connected to the lead screw 28 in a transmission connection; a slide guide rail is provided on the translation slide 26, the linear slider 27 is slidably connected to the slide guide rail, and the linear slider 27 is sleeved on the lead screw 28.

[0041] It should be noted that the first translation component 3 and the second translation component 4 of this utility model are both three-axis electric translation stages. The ball screw, linear slider 27 and camera connecting block are driven by servo motors to complete the position of the checkerboard calibration plate 6 at the center of the field of view of the camera 7. The first drive motor 9 drives the movement along the Z-axis through the meshing transmission of gears and racks 11.

[0042] The servo motor of this invention is connected to the ball screw via a coupling, driving the linear slider 27 to reciprocate along the slide guide rail. The movement speed can be continuously adjusted within the range of 0.1-5mm / s, and the positioning accuracy reaches ±0.01mm.

[0043] The first translation component 3 of this invention uses a servo motor to drive a linear slider 27 to achieve positioning with the camera connecting block and the camera 7. The strokes of the first linear module and the second linear module of the first translation component 3 are 200mm and 150mm respectively. The Z-axis first drive motor 9 and the rack 11, together with the guide grooves 13 on both sides and the fixed wheel 10, achieve lifting and lowering movements within the range of 50-300mm. The fixed wheel 10 is made of metal, and the clearance between it and the guide groove 13 is controlled within 0.03mm, effectively avoiding shaking during the lifting and lowering process.

The strokes of the two translation slides 26 are 100mm and 150mm respectively, and the stroke of the first drive motor 9 is 80mm. The three are linked and controlled by a PLC controller.

[0045] In some embodiments, the system also includes a housing support 14; the linear slider 27 of the second linear module of the first translation component 3 is connected to the housing support 14, and the camera 7 and the laser emitter 8 are both disposed within the housing support 14; the linear slider 27 of the second linear module of the second translation component 4 is connected to the rotation component 5.

[0046] The camera connecting block, i.e. the housing bracket 14, of this utility model is fixed to the corresponding linear slider 27 by four M6 hexagonal screws. Its top is provided with mounting holes that match the camera 7, and it can be compatible with the C-port or CS-port of industrial cameras.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8 to 11As shown, the rotating assembly 5 includes a first rotating assembly and a second rotating assembly; both the first rotating assembly and the second rotating assembly include a drive block 15, a second drive motor 16, a worm gear 17, and an arc-shaped slider 18; wherein, the upper surface of the drive block 15 is an arc-shaped concave surface, and the lower surface of the arc-shaped slider 18 is an arc-shaped convex surface, with the arc-shaped concave surface and the arc-shaped convex surface being adapted to each other.

[0048] The drive block 15 is equipped with a second drive motor 16 and a worm gear 17. The arc-shaped convex surface of the arc-shaped slider 18 is provided with multiple toothed grooves 19 along the bending direction. The worm gear 17 is adapted to mesh with the toothed grooves 19. The second drive motor 16 is used to drive the worm gear 17 to rotate and can drive the arc-shaped slider 18 to rotate relative to the drive block 15 within a certain angle range. The drive block 15 of the second rotation assembly is connected and fixed to the arc-shaped slider 18 of the first rotation assembly.

[0049] The second translation component 4 and the rotation component 5 of this invention form a posture adjustment mechanism. A servo motor drives the checkerboard calibration plate 6 to achieve position and posture changes across multiple axes of freedom. The servo motor drives the worm gear 17 to rotate via a reducer, and the worm gear 17 meshes with the toothed groove 19, enabling relative movement between the two arc-shaped surfaces. The worm gear 17 of the first rotation component can drive the arc-shaped slider 18 to rotate and deflect, with the rotation plane perpendicular to the X-axis. The worm gear 17 of the second rotation component can drive the arc-shaped slider 18 to rotate and deflect, with the rotation plane perpendicular to the Y-axis. Thus, through the first and second rotation components, the calibration plate 6 can achieve two degrees of freedom adjustment within a rotation plane perpendicular to the X-axis and a rotation plane perpendicular to the Y-axis. Furthermore, through the meshing transmission between the worm gear 17 and the toothed groove 19, the calibration plate 6 can rotate within a ±20° angle range, with a rotation angle resolution of 0.01°.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, an arc-shaped guide rail 20 protrudes from the concave surface, and an arc-shaped groove 21 is recessed on the convex surface. The arc-shaped groove 21 is adapted to the arc-shaped guide rail 20, and the arc-shaped slider 18 can slide along the curvature direction of the arc-shaped guide rail 20. Furthermore, a worm gear 17 is disposed within the arc-shaped guide rail 20, and at least a portion of the worm gear 17 protrudes from the upper surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 20 and meshes with the toothed groove 19. By setting a structure in which the arc-shaped guide rail 20 and the arc-shaped groove 21 cooperate, this utility model can limit the rotational offset trajectory of the arc-shaped slider 18 relative to the drive block 15.

[0052] The automatic calibration device is mounted on the optical calibration platform 1 and platform support 30. Four adjustable knobs 24 located below the optical calibration platform 1 are monitored in real-time by a level 25 to ensure that the platform's horizontal and vertical accuracy error is controlled within 0.02 mm / m. The platform support 30 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and is connected to the optical calibration platform 1 via the adjustable knobs 24. Its height can be adjusted within the range of 500-800 mm according to actual calibration requirements. The adjustable knobs 24 can be bolted, allowing height adjustment and level control by turning the bolts.

[0053] In some embodiments, the camera 7 is arranged vertically, and the center of the optical axis of the camera 7 is aligned with the center of the checkerboard of the calibration plate 6; there are two laser emitters 8, which are arranged in parallel and at a certain angle to the camera 7. For example, the angle between the two laser emitters 8 and the optical axis of the camera 7 can be 30°.

[0054] This utility model's automatic calibration device is supported by an optical calibration platform 1 and a platform bracket 30. The automatic calibration device includes a first translation component 3, a second translation component 4, and a rotation component 5. The camera 7 and a laser emitter 8 are mounted and fixed on the linear slider 27 of the uppermost first translation component 3. The first drive motor 9, the first linear module, and the second linear module of the first translation component 3 are interconnected and cooperate with each other. The vertical plate 23 of the calibration frame 2 has guide grooves 13 on both sides. The fixed wheel 10 is close to the guide groove 13. The gear and rack 11 of the upper first drive motor 9 mesh with each other, and the fixed wheel 10 slides up and down with the guide groove 13 to adjust. The first linear module is equipped with a servo motor to drive the ball screw and the linear slider 27 to adjust the translation movement in the Y-axis direction. The second linear module is equipped with a servo motor to drive the ball screw and the linear slider 27 to adjust the translation movement in the X-axis direction. The first drive motor 9, the first linear module, and the second linear module are all electrically controlled. Through the close cooperation of the upper three-axis electric translation stage, the optical axis center of the camera 7 is aligned with the center of the checkerboard. The lower part is provided with a second translation component 4 and a rotation component 5. The second translation component 4 is provided with a first drive motor 9 and a first linear module and a second linear module. The vertical plate 23 of the calibration frame 2 has guide grooves 13 on both sides. The fixed wheel 10 slides close to the guide groove 13. The fixed wheel 10 slides up and down with the guide groove 13 by the meshing of the gear and rack 11 of the first drive motor 9. The first linear module is provided with a servo motor to drive the ball screw and linear slider 27 to adjust the translation movement in the Y-axis direction. The second linear module is provided with a servo motor to drive the ball screw and linear slider 27 to adjust the translation movement in the X-axis direction. The rotation component 5 is provided with a servo motor to drive the worm 17 and the toothed groove 19 to drive the arc slider 18 to adjust the angle. That is, the worm 17 drives the arc slider 18 to rotate, pushing the calibration plate 6 to rotate and tilt, and the rotation plane is perpendicular to the X-axis or Y-axis. The calibration plate 6 is provided with a checkerboard pattern. When it rotates and tilts in the rotation plane, it drives the arc slider 18 and the checkerboard calibration plate 6 to tilt at the same time, changing the checkerboard calibration posture.

[0055] During calibration, the system achieves fully automatic closed-loop control through the motion control module. First, the PLC controller sends a command to the first translation component 3, driving the camera 7 to move to the initial position, so that the checkerboard calibration plate 6 is completely imaged at the center of the camera 7's field of view. At this time, the position parameters of the camera connecting block are fed back to the control system in real time through the grating ruler, forming a position closed loop. Subsequently, the second translation component 4 and the rotation component 5 automatically adjust the posture of the checkerboard according to a preset pose sequence. Here, the preset pose sequence contains 20 combinations of different angles and positions. After each pose adjustment is completed, the system waits 50ms to ensure the mechanism is stable before triggering the camera 7 to capture an image, while simultaneously recording the current position parameters of the translation stage and the rotation stage.

[0056] The data processing module uses a LabVIEW-based software platform. First, it calls the Zhang Zhengyou calibration algorithm from the OpenCV library to process the 20 sets of acquired checkerboard images, calculating the intrinsic parameter matrix of camera 7, including focal length, principal point coordinates, and distortion coefficients. During the calculation, the RANSAC algorithm is used to remove outliers, ensuring the reprojection error of the intrinsic parameter calibration is controlled within 0.3 pixels. For the calculation of the line structured light plane parameters, the three-dimensional coordinates of the intersection points of the laser stripes and the checkerboard in each image are extracted (using the known dimensions and pose parameters of the calibration plate for conversion). The least squares method is used to fit the light plane equation ax + by + cz + d = 0, achieving a fitting accuracy of 0.05 mm.

[0057] The calibration process in this embodiment is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention from the start of calibration to the output parameters. The time for a single calibration, including camera intrinsic parameters and optical plane parameters, is reduced from 20 minutes in the traditional manual method to less than 5 minutes, improving efficiency by more than 80%. Verification through 10 repeated calibration experiments fully meets the needs of high-precision applications such as welding robot vision systems.

[0058] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
