Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of training platform technology, specifically to an industrial vision operation and maintenance training platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of industrial technology, intelligent manufacturing is becoming the core trend of industrial development. Industrial vision technology, as a key support for realizing intelligent manufacturing, is increasingly important. Industrial vision systems, through image acquisition, processing, and analysis, can achieve high-precision detection, monitoring, and control of the production process. They are widely used in many industrial scenarios such as quality inspection, production monitoring, and robot navigation, playing a vital role in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing labor costs.

[0003] In the field of education, equipping students with advanced industrial vision technology is a crucial goal in cultivating professionals who can meet the demands of future industrial development. However, current industrial vision education faces numerous challenges. Traditional teaching methods primarily focus on theoretical explanations, leaving students lacking practical experience. Limited experimental courses often employ simple equipment and case studies, failing to simulate complex real-world industrial scenarios. This results in students' insufficient understanding of the application of industrial vision technology in actual production, hindering their ability to quickly adapt to the real-world work requirements of companies after graduation.

[0004] While existing industrial vision teaching platforms have improved teaching practice conditions to some extent, they still have significant shortcomings. On the one hand, most teaching platforms have limited functionality, only supporting basic image acquisition and demonstrations of simple image processing algorithms. They lack comprehensive training functions for the entire industrial vision system process (such as data acquisition, annotation, detection, and maintenance), especially failing to cover practical training in core operations in industrial production, such as basic training, visual sorting, palletizing, and handling. This prevents students from fully and systematically mastering the industrial vision technology system and operational skills in key aspects of actual production. On the other hand, these platforms are severely disconnected from actual industrial production environments, failing to fully consider the complexity and diversity of industrial sites. This makes it difficult for students to encounter the technical challenges and difficulties of core operations in real industrial scenarios during practical training, significantly reducing the effectiveness of cultivating practical skills.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the industrial vision operation and maintenance training platform provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a cabinet, and a protective frame is provided on the top of the cabinet;

[0007] A collaborative robot, which is fixedly mounted on the cabinet, is used to grasp and move gear teaching aids.

[0008] Also includes:

[0009] The 3D vision camera is fixedly installed inside the top of the protective frame. The 3D vision camera confirms the shape, size and height information of the object through three-dimensional scanning.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0036] In existing technologies, most teaching platforms have limited functionality, supporting only basic image acquisition and demonstrations of simple image processing algorithms. They lack comprehensive practical training capabilities for the entire industrial vision system process (such as data acquisition, annotation, detection, and maintenance), especially failing to cover practical training in core operations of industrial production, such as basic training, visual sorting, palletizing, and handling. This prevents students from fully and systematically mastering the industrial vision technology system and operational skills in key aspects of actual production. Furthermore, these platforms are severely disconnected from actual industrial production environments, failing to fully consider the complexity and diversity of industrial sites. This makes it difficult for students to encounter the technical challenges and difficulties of core operations in real industrial scenarios during practical training, significantly diminishing the effectiveness of cultivating practical skills.

[0037] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention utilizes a 3D vision camera and a 2D vision camera to perform three-dimensional and two-dimensional feature detection, respectively. Combined with the grasping and moving operations of a collaborative robot, it can support full-process training from data acquisition and feature detection to robot operation linkage. It simulates the training needs of core industrial production operations such as basic training, visual sorting, and handling, enabling students to systematically master the industrial vision technology system and key operational skills.

[0038] The teaching materials utilize spur gears, helical gears, and bevel gears. On one hand, these three types of gears are fundamental transmission components widely used in industrial production, frequently appearing in fields such as machinery manufacturing and automobile manufacturing. Using them as teaching aids allows the practical training scenarios to more closely resemble the inspection scenarios of common transmission parts by vision systems in real industrial environments, solving the problem of the disconnect between existing teaching platforms and industrial sites, and helping students intuitively understand the application scenarios of industrial vision technology in actual part inspection. On the other hand, spur gears have teeth parallel to their axis, regular two-dimensional planar features, and relatively symmetrical three-dimensional shapes; helical gears have helical teeth, combining two-dimensional helical features with three-dimensional inclined tooth surface shapes; bevel gears have conical teeth, with the tooth direction distributed along the generatrix of the cone, highlighting their three-dimensional spatial posture characteristics. This difference allows for the full utilization of the functions of 2D and 3D vision cameras, training not only in the inspection of the regular planar shape of spur gears but also in the three-dimensional information capture of the helical features of helical gears and the conical structure of bevel gears, enabling students to master visual inspection techniques for industrial parts of different shapes.

[0039] In addition, a transparent protective panel and a dual-sensor design have been incorporated to address issues such as safety and practicality.

[0040] After introducing the basic principles of this utility model, various non-limiting embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Any quantity of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0041] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0042] Example 1 of the industrial vision operation and maintenance training platform provided by this utility model:

[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the industrial vision operation and maintenance training platform includes a cabinet 10 and a protective frame 8 set on the top of the cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 is mainly used to install the electrical system 18 and the robot control cabinet 19, etc. The load-bearing plate on the top of the cabinet 10, as the basic load-bearing component of the platform, should be reinforced to prevent deformation from affecting the accuracy of the equipment.

[0044] The cabinet 10 has a door on the side to protect the internal electrical system 18, control cabinet and other core components. It has an openable design and a transparent front design to facilitate maintenance personnel to inspect, maintain and replace the internal equipment. It also has dustproof and anti-theft functions.

[0045] The bottom surface of the cabinet 10 has ventilation holes to provide a heat dissipation channel for enclosed components such as the robot control cabinet 19 and the electrical system 18 cabinet 10, so as to dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the internal equipment, avoid component aging or failure due to high temperature, and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0046] The cabinet 10 has four support bases 9 installed at the bottom corners. The support bases 9 bear the weight of the entire platform and enhance the overall structural stability. The level can be adjusted to adapt to different ground environments and prevent the platform from affecting the operating accuracy of the equipment due to tilt.

[0047] The protective frame 8 consists of an aluminum alloy frame and a transparent protective panel 7, with a top plate 22 on top. The transparent protective panel 7 combines protection and visibility, blocking danger while allowing maintenance personnel to observe the internal operating status of the equipment, enabling them to make a preliminary assessment of the equipment's condition without opening the protective structure.

[0048] The top plate 22 protects the equipment on the top of the platform, blocking dust, water droplets and falling objects, and can also serve as a support structure for the equipment installed on the top, expanding the platform's functionality.

[0049] The protective frame 8 is also equipped with a protective door 16 on its side. One set of protective doors 16 or two sets of protective doors 16 can be opened. The protective doors 16 serve as a safety barrier to prevent unauthorized personnel or objects from entering the equipment working area, avoid personnel accidentally touching dangerous parts or interference with equipment operation, and ensure operational safety.

[0050] Collaborative robot 1 is fixedly mounted on cabinet 10. Collaborative robot 1 is used to grasp and move gear teaching aid 14. Collaborative robot 1 is the core component of the system, undertaking core tasks such as basic training, visual sorting, palletizing, and handling. It is the key execution unit for realizing automated operation. Collaborative robot 1 is existing technology, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The 3D vision camera 3 is fixedly installed inside the top of the protective frame 8. The 3D vision camera 3 confirms the shape, size and height information of objects through three-dimensional scanning. The 3D vision camera 3 can confirm the shape, size, height and other three-dimensional objects of objects through three-dimensional scanning. It can also perform maintenance operations such as fault diagnosis of 3D cameras, equipment installation, software installation and debugging, and program writing.

[0052] The 2D vision camera 4 is fixedly installed inside the top of the protective frame 8. The 2D vision camera 4 is used to detect the shape, area and other two-dimensional planar features of objects; it supports maintenance work such as troubleshooting, equipment installation, software debugging and program development, and is the core equipment for two-dimensional vision inspection.

[0053] The visual supplement light 5 is fixedly installed inside the top of the protective frame 8. The visual supplement light 5 is used to supplement the light source; it provides supplementary illumination when external light is insufficient to meet the detection accuracy requirements of the visual camera. Simultaneously, it supports its own fault diagnosis, equipment installation, and other maintenance operations, ensuring the stability of visual inspection.

[0054] Several gear-shaped teaching aids 14 are mounted on the cabinet 10. These aids are used in conjunction with the collaborative robot 1, the 3D vision camera 3, and the 2D vision camera 4 for simulated training. In this embodiment, the gear-shaped teaching aids 14 include spur gears, helical gears, and bevel gears. The spur gears have teeth parallel to their axis, regular two-dimensional planar features, and relatively symmetrical three-dimensional shapes. The helical gears have helical teeth, combining two-dimensional helical features with three-dimensional inclined tooth surface shapes. The bevel gears have conical teeth, with the tooth direction distributed along the generatrix of the cone, and prominent three-dimensional spatial posture features. This difference allows for the full utilization of the functions of the 2D vision camera 4 and the 3D vision camera 3, training not only in the detection of the regular planar shape of spur gears but also in the three-dimensional information capture of the helical features of helical gears and the conical structure of bevel gears, enabling students to master visual inspection skills for industrial parts of different shapes.

[0055] The cabinet 10 is also equipped with standard test pieces for verifying the detection accuracy of the 3D vision camera 3 and the 2D vision camera 4. These standard test pieces are auxiliary tools for the calibration and debugging of the vision system. In this embodiment, the standard test piece is a tangram puzzle 11.

[0056] A teach pendant 17 for programming and setting the motion trajectory of the collaborative robot 1, and a human-machine interface device 26 for centralized monitoring and control of the overall platform are fixedly installed on the side of the cabinet 10. The teach pendant 17 is used for programming, parameter setting and debugging of the collaborative robot 1. It can intuitively set the motion trajectory and task flow, and monitor the robot's operating status in real time. It is a key tool for human-machine interaction. The human-machine interface device 26 is used for centralized monitoring, parameter configuration, fault display and operation and maintenance of the overall platform. It provides an intuitive graphical interface to facilitate efficient platform management by maintenance personnel. The teach pendant 17 and the human-machine interface device 26 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The cabinet 10 houses an electrical system 18 and a robot control cabinet 19. The cabinet 10 has a door on its side for maintenance, and ventilation holes at the bottom for heat dissipation.

[0058] In this embodiment, a sensor 23 is also provided at the protective door 16 to detect the opening and closing status of the protective door 16. This sensor is specifically designed to detect the open / closed state of the protective door 16 and feeds the status signal back to the control system. When the protective door 16 is open, it may trigger the robot to stop or sound an alarm, ensuring safety. In this embodiment, two sensors 23 are provided to avoid safety hazards caused by the failure of a single sensor 23.

[0059] The protective frame 8 is also equipped with a three-color alarm light on top. Furthermore, the standard design of the training platform, including the control power supply 27 and the emergency stop button 25, will not be described in detail here.

[0060] While this specification has shown and described numerous embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Many modifications, alterations, and alternatives will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and intent of the present invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the present invention described herein may be employed in the practice of the present invention. The appended claims are intended to define the scope of protection of the present invention and therefore cover the modular compositions, equivalents, or alternatives within the scope of these claims.
