Abstract

The present invention provides a method and device for calibrating a position of a mover in a direct drive transmission system. In response to receiving an arriving signal for a mover corresponding to a preset detection station, an image acquisition device disposed above the detection station is controlled to acquire an image of the mover; feature recognition is performed on the image of the mover, and an actual coordinate position of a preset feature image area is acquired in the image of the mover; a mover-arriving detection result is generated based on the actual coordinate position; and a calibration signal for the position of the mover is generated based on the mover-arriving detection result.

Claims (36)

1 . A method for calibrating a position of a mover in a direct drive transmission system, comprising:

in response to receiving an arriving signal for a mover corresponding to a preset detection station, controlling an image acquisition device disposed above the detection station for acquiring an image of the mover;

performing feature recognition on the image of the mover, and acquiring an actual coordinate position of a preset feature image area in the image of the mover;

generating a mover-arriving detection result based on the actual coordinate position; and

generating a calibration signal for the position of the mover based on the mover-arriving detection result; wherein there are a plurality of detection stations, and before in response to receiving the arriving signal for the mover corresponding to the preset detection station, controlling the image acquisition device disposed above the detection station to acquire the image of the mover, the method further comprises:

acquiring mover identification information of each mover of movers to be detected;

determining, according to the mover identification information, detection station identification information for each mover to be detected from a preset detection strategy library; and

generating an arriving and detection control signal according to the detection station identification information corresponding to the mover identification information, wherein the arriving and detection control signal is configured to control each mover of the movers to be detected to move to a respective detection station.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before controlling the image acquisition device disposed above the detection station to acquire the image of the mover, the method further comprises:

controlling a light source disposed above the detection station to enter a working state.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the feature image area refers to an image area showing a mark on a surface of the mover or an image area showing a tooling for the mover, and generating the mover-arriving detection result based on the actual coordinate position, comprises:

calculating a position deviation value between the actual coordinate position and a reference coordinate position, to obtain the mover-arriving detection result.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the actual coordinate position of the preset feature image area in the image of the mover, comprises:

acquiring a first actual coordinate position of an image area showing a mounting plate for the mover in the image of the mover, and acquiring a second actual coordinate position of an image area showing a tooling for the mover in the image of the mover; and

generating the mover-arriving detection result based on the actual coordinate position, comprises:

calculating a relative-position deviation value based on the first actual coordinate position and the second actual coordinate position, to obtain the mover-arriving detection result.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein generating the calibration signal for the position of the mover based on the mover-arriving detection result, comprises:

acquiring a standard moving distance of the mover between the detection station and a next station;

calculating a compensated moving distance based on the relative-position deviation value and the standard moving distance of the mover; and

generating the calibration signal for the position of the mover based on the compensated moving distance, wherein the calibration signal for the position of the mover is configured to control the mover being detected to move from the detection station to the next station.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before performing feature recognition on the image of the mover, the method further comprises:

acquiring mover identification information of the mover; and

determining a to-be-recognized feature type from a preset feature recognition strategy library according to the mover identification information; and

wherein performing feature recognition on the image of the mover, comprises:

performing feature recognition on the image of the mover according to the to-be-recognized feature type.

7 . A calibration equipment, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor;

wherein the memory is configured to store computer programs, which, when executed by the processor, causes the process to implement operations of a method for calibrating a position of a mover in a direct drive transmission system, wherein the method comprises:

in response to receiving an arriving signal for a mover corresponding to a preset detection station, controlling an image acquisition device disposed above the detection station for acquiring an image of the mover;

performing feature recognition on the image of the mover, and acquiring an actual coordinate position of a preset feature image area in the image of the mover;

generating a mover-arriving detection result based on the actual coordinate position; and

generating a calibration signal for the position of the mover based on the mover-arriving detection result; wherein there are a plurality of detection stations, and before in response to receiving the arriving signal for the mover corresponding to the preset detection station, controlling the image acquisition device disposed above the detection station to acquire the image of the mover, the method further comprises:

acquiring mover identification information of each mover of movers to be detected;

determining, according to the mover identification information, detection station identification information for each mover to be detected from a preset detection strategy library; and

generating an arriving and detection control signal according to the detection station identification information corresponding to the mover identification information, wherein the arriving and detection control signal is configured to control each mover of the movers to be detected to move to a respective detection station.
