Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nylon tube bundling technology, and in particular to a platform system for positioning and bundling nylon tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Nylon tubing is widely used in automotive thermal management systems, air brake systems, and low-pressure fuel systems due to its excellent chemical corrosion resistance and good interface sealing performance. As a core component of automotive piping systems, the positioning and bundling of tubing bundles directly affect the assembly quality and production progress of the piping system.

[0003] In existing technologies, the positioning and binding of nylon tubing bundles relies on steel flat templates. These templates are either used to indicate the binding positions or have a recessed structure to accommodate the insertion of a handheld binding machine. These templates require specialized personnel for fabrication, resulting in a long production cycle. Furthermore, since the tubing bundle drawings involve multiple positioning points and various length specifications, each time a different type of tubing bundle is bound, the corresponding steel flat template must be replaced, leading to low efficiency. Additionally, before the tubing bundle binding operation, positioning blocks must be manually fixed on the positioning plate according to the drawing data, and the drawings and tubing circuit information must be repeatedly checked and compared before processing. This process is cumbersome and prone to positioning errors due to human intervention.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies lack integrated intelligent control and data management capabilities, making it impossible to automate the reading, sorting, and execution of production plans, and also difficult to statistically analyze production quantities to meet the traceability requirements of daily, monthly, and annual output.

[0005] In summary, the core technical problems of existing nylon tube positioning and bundling technology are: reliance on steel flat templates leading to low changeover efficiency, lack of integrated intelligent control and data management capabilities, and inability to meet the needs of rapid changeover, automated production execution, and traceable production information.

[0007] This utility model provides a nylon tube positioning and binding platform system, which adopts the following technical solution: Support components are used to temporarily support the bundles of nylon tubing to be bundled. The display component, laid on the bearing surface of the bearing component, is used to display a two-dimensional view of the arrangement information of the nylon tube group to be bundled, the installation position information of the fixing component, and the bundling operation guidance information. A fixing component, detachably assembled onto the display component, is used to position and fix the nylon tube assembly to be bundled according to the direction indicated by the two-dimensional view; The control processing component includes a host computer unit and a slave computer unit. The host computer unit is configured to communicate with an external server to read the production plan and the two-dimensional view data of the corresponding nylon tube group. The slave computer unit is communicatively connected to the host computer unit and is also communicatively connected to the display component to control the view display of the display component.

[0008] Furthermore, the two-dimensional view displayed by the display component is a display view proportional to the nylon tube assembly and the support assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the nylon tube positioning and bundling platform system also includes: A visual inspection component, whose field of view covers the bearing area of ​​the bearing component, is communicatively connected to the control and processing component. It is used to acquire positioning and bundling image data of the nylon tube assembly within the bearing area and transmit the image data to the control and processing component. The control and processing component is configured to determine the positioning status information and bundling qualification information of the nylon tube assembly based on the image data.

[0010] Furthermore, the control processing component is also configured to sort and manage the read production plan to form an ordered production task sequence, and control the display component to switch and display the two-dimensional view of the corresponding nylon tube group according to the order of the production task sequence.

[0011] Furthermore, the control processing component also includes a model change control module, which is configured to receive a manual model change command and, based on the manual model change command, call the two-dimensional view data of the corresponding product in an external server to control the display component to switch to display the two-dimensional view of the product.

[0012] Furthermore, the control processing component also includes a production statistics module, which is configured to record the production quantity information of each product, form statistical data of daily output, monthly output and annual output, and store the statistical data.

[0013] Furthermore, the platform system also includes a terminal interaction component, which is communicatively connected to the control processing component. The terminal interaction component includes a label printing unit and a barcode scanning and recognition unit. The barcode scanning and recognition unit is configured to read product identification information and transmit it to the control processing component. The control processing component calls the label data of the corresponding product based on the product identification information and controls the label printing unit to print the corresponding label of the product.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing component includes an adsorption member, a connecting arm is fixedly disposed on the adsorption member, a positioning member is fixedly disposed on the short arm of the connecting arm, the adsorption member is used to be detachably adsorbed onto the display component, and the positioning member is provided with a positioning groove for accommodating and limiting the nylon tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting arm has a Z-shaped structure, and the positioning groove is a semi-circular groove, the inner wall contour of which is adapted to the outer wall contour of the nylon tube to be positioned.

[0016] Furthermore, the display component includes a liquid crystal display unit and a transparent protective layer. The transparent protective layer covers the display surface of the liquid crystal display unit. The fixing component is detachably mounted on the transparent protective layer. The liquid crystal display unit is communicatively connected to the lower-level unit to receive view display control signals.

[0017] Furthermore, the load-bearing component includes a support frame and a lighting component. The support frame supports the load-bearing surface of the load-bearing component, and the lighting component is mounted on the support frame, with the lighting area of ​​the lighting component covering the load-bearing area of ​​the load-bearing component.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This utility model proposes a nylon tube positioning and bundling platform system, which effectively solves the problems of low changeover efficiency, high reliance on manual labor, and lack of integrated intelligent control and data management capabilities in the prior art. The display component displays a proportional two-dimensional view, replacing the traditional steel flat template. The fixing component can be detachably assembled onto the transparent protective layer of the display component through an adsorption component. There is no need for dedicated personnel to process and manufacture templates, nor is there a need to replace or store steel templates during changeover. At the same time, the upper computer unit of the control and processing component can directly read the production plan and corresponding two-dimensional view data from an external server. The lower computer unit controls the display component to switch views according to the plan sequence. With the rapid response of the changeover control module to manual changeover commands, "template-free changeover" and "automatic drawing switching" are realized, solving the problems of long template production cycle and low changeover efficiency in traditional methods. The changeover operation is more convenient and efficient.

[0019] 2. This utility model reduces reliance on manual operation and improves positioning and bundling accuracy. The display component shows the nylon tube assembly layout information, the installation position of the fixing components, and bundling guidance information in proportion. Workers do not need to manually compare the paper drawings to fix the positioning blocks. They can complete the placement of nylon tubes and installation of fixing components simply by referring to the drawings. In addition, with the visual inspection component, the positioning and bundling image data of nylon tubes can be collected in real time and transmitted to the control processing component to judge the positioning status and qualification. This replaces manual comparison, greatly reduces human operation errors, makes the positioning and bundling accuracy of nylon tubes more stable, and the work quality no longer depends on human experience.

[0020] 3. The production statistics module of the control and processing component of this utility model can record the production quantity of each product in real time, automatically generate and store daily, monthly and annual production statistics, and solve the problem that the existing technology cannot systematically manage production data.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a nylon tube positioning and binding platform system, which adopts the following technical solution: Support component 1 is used to temporarily support the nylon tubing assembly to be bundled; Display component 2, laid on the bearing surface of the bearing component 1, is used to display a two-dimensional view of the arrangement information of the nylon tube group to be bundled, the installation position information of the fixing component 3, and the bundling operation guidance information; The fixing component 3 is detachably assembled onto the display component 2 and is used to position and fix the nylon tube group to be bundled according to the direction indicated by the two-dimensional view. The control processing component 4 includes a host computer unit 401 and a slave computer unit 402. The host computer unit 401 is configured to communicate with an external server 7 to read the production plan and the two-dimensional view data of the corresponding nylon tube group. The slave computer unit 402 is communicatively connected to the host computer unit 401 and is also communicatively connected to the display component 2 to control the view display of the display component 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The two-dimensional view displayed by the display component 2 is a display view with the same scale as the nylon tube assembly and the support component 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 The host computer unit 401 uses existing TCP / IP communication protocols, such as HTTP 1.1 or MQTT, to establish a connection with the external server 7 and reads the production plan and corresponding 2D view data of the nylon pipe assembly through the database access interface. The drawing retrieval logic is implemented based on existing CAD file parsing technology, such as parsing and displaying DWG / DXF format 2D view data through AutoCAD's ObjectARX interface or the open-source library ezdxf (v0.18+), supporting functions such as layer filtering, scaling, and coordinate mapping.

[0031] The lower-level unit 402 transmits data with the upper-level unit 401 via RS485 bus or TCP / IP protocol. After receiving the view control command sent by the upper-level unit, the lower-level unit 402 displays the two-dimensional view in proportion using a graphics rendering engine in the prior art, such as OpenGLES3.0 or DirectX11, to drive the display component 2.

[0032] The nylon tube positioning and bundling platform system also includes: Reference Figure 2 The visual inspection component 5 has a detection field of view that covers the bearing area of ​​the bearing component 1. The visual inspection component 5 is communicatively connected to the control and processing component 4 and is used to acquire the positioning and bundling image data of the nylon tube assembly within the bearing area and transmit the image data to the control and processing component 4. The control and processing component 4 is configured to determine the positioning status information and bundling qualification information of the nylon tube assembly based on the image data.

[0033] The image comparison logic uses existing template matching algorithms, such as the TM_CCOEFF_NORMED algorithm in OpenCV 4.x, to compare the preset qualified template image with the real-time acquired images of nylon tube positioning and bundling, identify positional deviations, and automatically label them.

[0034] Specifically, after the worker's first successful binding, the industrial camera of the vision inspection component 5 takes a standard template image and stores it in the system database. During subsequent inspections, the system automatically calls the template image and performs feature point matching (such as the SIFT algorithm) with the current image, removes mismatched points using the RANSAC algorithm, calculates the position offset of the nylon tube, and marks the deviation area with a red rectangle on the display component 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The control processing component 4 is further configured to sort and manage the read production plan to form an ordered production task sequence, and control the display component 2 to switch and display the two-dimensional view of the corresponding nylon tube group according to the order of the production task sequence.

[0036] The production planning and sequencing management of the control processing component 4 is based on existing priority scheduling algorithms such as the Coffman-Graham algorithm: the system generates a dynamic task sequence by parsing the bill of materials (BOM) in the production plan and combining order delivery dates and urgency levels. Specifically, the implementation is as follows: Sorting Logic: The Coffman-Graham algorithm is used to hierarchically allocate tasks, ensuring that preceding tasks are executed first. Manual adjustment of task priorities is supported, and the system automatically recalculates the estimated completion time for remaining tasks. Dynamic Adjustment: When equipment malfunctions or orders change, workers can drag and drop task nodes via the host computer interface. The system triggers the Rete algorithm to update the scheduling logic in real time, ensuring production continuity.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 The control processing component 4 is further provided with a model change control module 403. The model change control module 403 is configured to receive a manual model change command and, based on the manual model change command, call the two-dimensional view data of the corresponding product in the external server 7 to control the display component 2 to switch to display the two-dimensional view of the product.

[0038] Manual model change process: The worker inputs the product model through the terminal interaction component 6, and the system verifies whether the corresponding data exists in the server; if it exists, the drawing data is loaded asynchronously through the HTTP / 2 protocol and preloaded into the LRU cache; after the drawing is loaded, the lower-level unit 402 sends a view switching command to the display component 2 through the MODBUSTCP protocol.

[0039] The control processing component 4 is further provided with a production statistics module 404, which is configured to record the production quantity information of each product, form statistical data of daily output, monthly output and annual output, and store the statistical data.

[0040] Production data is stored using SQLite 3.43.0 or TDengine 3.0, and includes the following table structure: production_log: records production time, product model, operator, and equipment status (timestamps are stored using TIMESTAMP type); quality_report: records inspection results (pass / fail); statistics: summarizes production quantity by day / month / year.

[0041] Statistical logic: The CREATETRIGGER function is automatically executed at 0:00 every day to generate the previous day's report, and the GROUPBYDATE(production_time) function is used for data aggregation; Excel reports can be exported via Apache POI 5.2.4.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 The platform system further includes a terminal interaction component 6, which is communicatively connected to the control processing component 4. The terminal interaction component 6 includes a label printing unit 601 and a barcode scanning and recognition unit 602. The barcode scanning and recognition unit 602 is configured to read product identification information and transmit it to the control processing component 4. The control processing component 4 calls the label data of the corresponding product based on the product identification information and controls the label printing unit 601 to print the corresponding label of the product.

[0043] The barcode scanning and identification unit 602 adopts an industrial-grade barcode scanner, supports USBHID or RS232 interface, and after reading the product identification, transmits the data to the control processing component 4 via ASCII code.

[0044] The label printing unit 601 control processing component 4, based on product identification information, drives the label printer through label printing instruction sets, such as ZPLII or ESC / POS, to output labels containing information such as product model, batch, production date, and positioning point coordinates, and supports multilingual character sets and graphic printing.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 The fixing component 3 includes an adsorption component 301, a connecting arm 302 is fixedly disposed on the adsorption component 301, and a positioning component 303 is fixedly disposed on the short arm of the connecting arm. The adsorption component 301 is used to be detachably adsorbed onto the display component 2, and the positioning component is provided with a positioning groove 304 for accommodating and limiting the nylon tube.

[0046] The connecting arm 302 has a Z-shaped structure, and the positioning groove 304 is a semi-circular groove. The inner wall contour of the semi-circular groove is adapted to the outer wall contour of the nylon tube to be positioned.

[0047] The Z-shaped mechanism provides space for installation accessories, such as compatible pipe valves.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 The suction cup 301 is used to attach to the display or its outer protective layer by pressing. The positioning element 303 is made of plastic or rubber and is used to hold the nylon tube. The Z-shaped connecting arm 302 is mainly used to support the positioning element 303, keeping it away from the screen and providing space for the handheld strapping machine during strapping.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 The display component 2 includes a liquid crystal display unit 201 and a transparent protective layer 202. The transparent protective layer 202 covers the display surface of the liquid crystal display unit 201. The fixing component 3 is detachably mounted on the transparent protective layer 202. The liquid crystal display unit 201 is communicatively connected to the lower-level machine unit 402 to receive view display control signals.

[0050] The load-bearing component 1 includes a support frame 101 and a lighting component 102. The support frame 101 is used to support the load-bearing surface of the load-bearing component 1. The lighting component 102 is installed on the support frame 101, and the lighting area of ​​the lighting component 102 covers the load-bearing area of ​​the load-bearing component 1.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 This document provides a partial CAD drawing of a bundling process. This CAD drawing is not intended to show the specific details of a particular nylon tube bundling product; the partial view is only for illustrating the bundling process. The drawing simulates actual production, displaying the actual nylon tube routing and installation precautions on the LCD display unit 201 at a one-to-one scale. This includes considerations such as using different colored tapes, wrapping with foam, bundling positions, and the location of the differential valve. The dashed circle indicates the position of the fixing component 3, i.e., the position where the suction cup adsorbs. By simply arranging the bundling and installing the relevant accessories on the LCD display unit 201 according to the drawing requirements, the bundling of the entire product can be completed. This practical embodiment can also be used for bundling other products with specific bundling requirements.

[0052] Workflow and operation steps: Equipment initialization, turn on the main power of the equipment, the host computer unit 401 establishes a connection with the external server 7 through the TCP / IP protocol, automatically reads the production plan task table (Excel format) in the server, and the slave computer unit 402 drives the display component 2 to enter the initialization interface.

[0053] After the operator logs into the system with their employee ID and password to confirm their identity and prepare for production, the worker uses a barcode scanner to read the QR code of the product to be produced.

[0054] If scanning fails, display component 2 displays an error message and requests a rescan or manual input. Control processing component 4 retrieves the corresponding 2D view data from the server based on the identification information. The lower-level unit 402 drives display component 2 to display the 2D view proportionally. Following the installation position of fixed component 3 indicated by the view, the worker attaches the vacuum suction cup to the transparent protective layer 202. The worker places the nylon tubing assembly on the support component 1, adjusts its orientation according to the 2D view on display component 2, clicks the confirmation button on display component 2, and secures it with the suction cup. The worker then performs the bundling operation according to the drawings.

[0055] After the bundling is completed, the worker presses the "Complete" button. The visual inspection component 5 automatically captures the final image and matches the feature points with the pre-stored standard template. If the image is deemed qualified, the control processing component 4 calls the label printing unit 601 to output a label containing the product model, batch number, serial number, and operator information. If the image is deemed unqualified, the display component 2 indicates the specific deviation location. The worker can choose to readjust the image. If the image is still unqualified after three consecutive adjustments, the system locks the workstation and notifies the quality inspector to handle the issue.

[0056] Data statistics and equipment shutdown: The production statistics module 404 records data such as the serial number of each product, operator, production quantity, number of qualified products, and average time consumption, generating daily / monthly / yearly statistical reports and storing them in a local database. It also supports exporting to Excel files via a host computer interface. The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
