Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera module technology, and in particular to a camera module for digital twin industrial robots. Background Technology

[0002] Digital twin industrial robots are digital mirror models constructed in virtual space using digital twin technology. These models are highly consistent with physical industrial robots in terms of geometry, physical properties, motion patterns, and working status. Through sensors and camera modules, they collect real-time operational data such as the position, speed, torque, temperature, and workpiece status of the physical industrial robot. Combined with technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, they achieve two-way data interaction and dynamic synchronization between the virtual model and the physical entity.

[0003] However, during the process of the camera module scanning and capturing the state of the workpiece being processed by the physical industrial robot, the end effector of the industrial robot is prone to spatial interference with the camera's field of view, resulting in physical obstruction of the processing points. This phenomenon directly causes the camera module to be unable to effectively collect and record the real-time status data of the processing points, thus leading to data gaps and data loss in the status information of the corresponding workpiece processing nodes in the digital twin system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the end effector of an industrial robot can block the camera's field of view, causing the camera to be unable to capture and record processing points, resulting in missing status of workpiece processing nodes in the digital twin model. Therefore, a camera module for digital twin industrial robots is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a camera module for a digital twin industrial robot, including a mounting frame, a processing table fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame, a rotating component disposed below the processing table, a rotating disk fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating component, a first adapter frame fixedly connected to one edge of the rotating disk by bolts, a camera body fixedly connected to the other end of the first adapter frame, a digital twin device connected to the signal output end of the camera body, and the processing table disposed directly above the rotating disk.

The output end of the drive assembly is fixedly connected to the drive gear, the drive gear meshes with the transmission gear, the transmission gear is rotatably connected above the mounting platform, and one side of the transmission gear is fixedly connected to the rotating disk.

[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor and a speed changer, the output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the speed changer, and the output end of the speed changer is fixedly connected to the center of the drive gear.

[0008] Preferably, the workpiece positioning assembly is fixedly installed on the top surface of the processing table in a centrally symmetrical manner.

[0009] Preferably, the workpiece positioning assembly includes an electrically controlled cylinder and a positioning fixture, wherein the drive end of the electrically controlled cylinder is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the positioning fixture.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting frame includes a support frame and an L-shaped adapter frame, one end of the L-shaped adapter frame is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, and the other end of the L-shaped adapter frame is fixedly connected to one side of the processing table.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, by controlling the drive component, the first adapter and the camera body are driven to make corresponding angle adjustments, so that the camera body can move to another angle to shoot the workpiece, ensuring a clear field of view without obstruction, providing full-dimensional and complete workpiece status data support for the digital twin system, and ensuring accurate mapping between the virtual model and the physical workpiece processing status.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, when the camera body rotates to the area below the mounting bracket, the pre-reserved rotation adjustment space below the L-shaped adapter bracket can effectively avoid the risk of spatial interference between components, ensure the stability and reliability of the entire rotation adjustment process, and lay the foundation for the camera body to accurately collect the workpiece processing status in the future.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a camera module for a digital twin industrial robot, including a mounting frame 1. A processing table 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1. A rotating component 3 is arranged below the processing table 2. A rotating disk 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating component 3. A first adapter frame 5 is fixedly connected to one edge of the rotating disk 4 by bolts. A camera body 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first adapter frame 5. The signal output end of the camera body 6 is connected to a digital twin device. The processing table 2 is located directly above the rotating disk 4. The rotating component 3 includes a drive component 31, a drive gear 32, a transmission gear 33, and a mounting platform 34. The output end of the drive component 31 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 32. The drive gear 32 and the transmission gear 33 mesh with each other. The transmission gear 33 is rotatably connected above the mounting platform 34. One side of the transmission gear 33 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 4. The drive component 31 includes a drive motor and a speed reducer. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the speed reducer. The output end of the speed reducer is fixedly connected to the center of the drive gear 32.

[0022] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. When the end effector of the industrial robot obstructs the current field of view of the camera body 6, the camera body 6 transmits the current image information. The digital twin device detects that the status information of the workpiece processing node is missing, and controls the drive motor in the drive component 31 to work. The drive motor drives the speed changer to work, the speed changer drives the drive gear 32 to rotate, and the drive gear 32 drives the transmission gear 33 to rotate. Under the transmission of the rotating disk 4, the first adapter 5 and the camera body 6 are driven to perform corresponding angle adjustments, so that the camera body 6 can move to another angle to shoot the workpiece, ensuring a clear field of view without obstruction.

[0023] Example 2: Figures 1-4 As shown, the camera module for the digital twin industrial robot of this utility model includes a mounting frame 1. A processing table 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1. A rotating component 3 is arranged below the processing table 2. A rotating disk 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating component 3. A first adapter 5 is fixedly connected to the edge of one side of the rotating disk 4 by bolts. A camera body 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first adapter 5. The signal output end of the camera body 6 is connected to a digital twin device. The processing table 2 is located directly above the rotating disk 4. A workpiece positioning component 7 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the processing table 2 in a centrally symmetrical manner. The workpiece positioning component 7 includes an electric cylinder 71 and a positioning fixture 72. The drive end of the electric cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the positioning fixture 72. The mounting frame 1 includes a support frame 11 and an L-shaped adapter 12. One end of the L-shaped adapter 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 11, and the other end of the L-shaped adapter 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the processing table 2.

[0024] The overall effect of this embodiment is that after the transfer robotic arm completes the placement of the workpiece onto the top surface of the processing table 2, the electrically controlled cylinder 71 drives the positioning fixture 72 to move in the direction towards the workpiece. By positioning and clamping the side of the workpiece, the workpiece is stably clamped on the processing table 2. After the workpiece clamping state meets the process stability requirements, the rotating component 3 starts and drives the rotating disk 4 to perform a preset angle adjustment. When the first adapter 5 moves in conjunction with the rotating disk 4 and the camera body 6 rotates to the area below the mounting frame 1, the pre-reserved rotation adjustment space below the L-shaped adapter 12 can effectively avoid the risk of spatial interference between components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire rotation adjustment process, and laying the foundation for the camera body 6 to accurately collect the workpiece processing status in the future.

[0025] The operating method and working principle of this device are as follows: After the transfer robotic arm completes the placement of the workpiece onto the top surface of the processing table 2, the electrically controlled cylinder 71 drives the positioning fixture 72 to move in the direction towards the workpiece. By positioning and clamping the side of the workpiece, the workpiece is stably clamped on the processing table 2. After the workpiece clamping state meets the process stability requirements, the rotating component 3 starts and drives the rotating disk 4 to adjust the preset angle. The drive motor in the drive component 31 works, the drive motor drives the speed changer to work, the speed changer drives the drive gear 32 to rotate, and the drive gear 32 drives the transmission gear 33 to rotate. Under the transmission of the rotating disk 4, the first adapter 5 and the camera body 6 are driven to adjust their angles accordingly, so that the camera body 6 can move to another angle to take pictures of the workpiece.
