1Productivity

If visual detection equipment is used for long-time detection, then productivity is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to imaging quality degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection speedVSAvoiddetection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary calibration actions by placing a calibration board in the detection field before actual product detection. The calibration board contains known geometric features (lines, circles, arcs) that allow the system to pre-assess and correct camera imaging parameters, ensuring measurement precision is maintained throughout long-time detection operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously comparing detected geometric features against predetermined reference values. When deviations are detected in line widths, circle diameters, or arc parameters, the system generates feedback signals to adjust imaging parameters, thereby maintaining detection precision over extended operational periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If calibration methods are implemented to maintain precision, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional calibration components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidequipment structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a calibration board that creates simplified geometric copies (lines, circles, arcs) of the features to be detected. These copied geometric forms serve as reference standards that are easier to manufacture and measure, allowing precision calibration without requiring complex calibration apparatus

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The calibration board is designed with multiple geometric features (straight lines, circles, arcs) that can calibrate various aspects of the imaging system simultaneously. This multi-functional calibration tool replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate calibration devices, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive precision correction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

This application discloses visual detection equipment and a verification method thereof, and a camera verification piece. The camera verification piece includes a body, the body is provided with a verification structure for detection by the visual detection equipment, and the verification structure is constructed to adapt to a to-be-detected structure on a to-be-detected part. During verification, imaging analysis is performed on the verification structure by a camera to obtain structural parameters and the obtained structural parameters are compared with predetermined structural parameters, so that the state of the camera is verified. If the camera is in an abnormal working state, at this time, workers can timely need to adjust or replace the camera, the imaging quality of the camera is improved, and detection errors of the visual detection equipment are corrected timely, thereby solving the problem that detection accuracy and detection precision of the visual detection equipment are reduced, and thus the visual detection equipment still has good detection accuracy and detection precision after long-time detection or adjustment.
