Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for detecting the quality of carved codes on battery top covers, such as those used in power batteries, rely on manual visual inspection, which is costly and prone to false or missed detections, and lacks comprehensive detection capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A carved code quality detection apparatus and system that includes a support assembly, visual detection system, and driving assembly to adjust the imaging assembly's position relative to the member being detected, using a CCD camera and adjustable light source for accurate image capture and analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual visual inspection is used for detecting carved code quality, then detection can be performed, but labor cost increases and false or missed detections occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual visual inspection with an automated imaging system comprising a camera, light source, and image processing unit. The imaging assembly captures images of carved codes on battery top covers, and the image processing unit automatically analyzes the images to detect quality issues, eliminating the need for manual inspection while improving detection accuracy and consistency.
2Extent of automation
If a scanning gun is used to scan the carved code, then code reading is achieved, but online detection of carved code quality cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging assembly serves multiple functions: it captures images of the carved code for both reading/scanning purposes and quality detection purposes. The same imaging system that reads the code information also analyzes the code quality through image processing, eliminating the need for separate scanning and detection systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The image processing unit analyzes captured images and provides feedback on carved code quality by comparing images against reference standards. The system can identify defects such as incomplete carving, wrong characters, or poor quality codes, and this feedback mechanism enables comprehensive online detection that goes beyond simple code reading.
3Measurement precision
If the imaging assembly is fixed at a constant distance from the member, then device simplicity is maintained, but clear image capture cannot be ensured for members at different positions
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging assembly is designed with adjustable positioning capabilities, allowing the distance between the imaging assembly and the battery top cover to be dynamically adjusted. This enables clear image capture for members at different positions on the conveyor belt while maintaining the ability to adapt to varying detection requirements.
