Abstract:Aiming at the problems of jamming, collision and low efficiency caused by the pose deviation of the traditional conveyor line smoke box, a smoke box pose correction system integrating two-stage machine vision and correction mechanism is proposed, and an engineering prototype is developed. When the smoke box is transmitted on the conveyor line, the first-level visual unit of the system detects its size, position and attitude in real time, and the PLC drives the pneumatic push rod to complete the coarse adjustment of the position and attitude. The secondary visual unit combines the photoelectric sensor to accurately sense the deviation between the position of the smoke box and the expected attitude, and triggers the fine compensation mechanism coordinated by the lifting cylinder and the rotating tray to finely compensate the small deviation between the smoke box and the expected angle. The results of example analysis and measurement show that the system can realize the pose correction of various specifications and angles of smoke boxes, the correction accuracy is 97.6 %, and the success rate of transportation is 100 %. It has outstanding performance in adaptability, real-time performance and correction accuracy, which is significantly better than the existing common technologies, and provides an efficient solution for the stable operation of automated conveyor lines.
