Abstract

A connecting piece includes a piece body and a bulge protruding from the piece body. The connecting piece quality inspection method includes: obtaining an inspection image of the connecting piece, where the inspection image covers the bulge; determining, in the inspection image, position information of a reference contour of the bulge and position information of an inspection contour of the bulge, where the reference contour is a contour of a mouth portion of the bulge co-planar with the piece body, and the inspection contour is a contour of a bottom portion of the bulge away from the piece body; and determining a quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the position information of the reference contour and the position information of the inspection contour.

determining a quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the position information of the reference contour and the position information of the inspection contour.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the position information of the reference contour and the position information of the inspection contour comprises:

determining, based on the position information of the reference contour and the position information of the inspection contour, displacement information of a projection of the inspection contour in an axial direction of the bulge with respect to a projection of the reference contour in the axial direction of the bulge; and

determining the quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the displacement information.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the displacement information comprises a distance of displacement of a projection of the center of the reference contour in the axial direction of the bulge with respect to a projection of the center of the inspection contour in the axial direction of the bulge; and

the determining the quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the displacement information comprises:

determining, based on the distance of displacement, whether displacement of the bulge of the connecting piece is acceptable.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the determining, based on the distance of displacement, whether displacement of the bulge of the connecting piece is acceptable comprises:

determining, in response to the distance of displacement being greater than a preset displacement value, that the displacement of the bulge of the connecting piece is unacceptable; wherein

the preset displacement value is determined based on a material and/or size of the connecting piece.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the determining the quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the displacement information further comprises:

calculating, based on the displacement information, an elongation of a side wall connecting the mouth portion and the bottom portion of the bulge; and

determining, based on the elongation, whether quality of the side wall of the connecting piece is acceptable.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the calculating, based on the displacement information, an elongation of a side wall connecting the mouth portion and the bottom portion of the bulge comprises:

calculating a thickness of the side wall based on the displacement information; and

calculating the elongation of the side wall based on the thickness of the side wall and a thickness of the piece body.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the displacement information comprises the distance of displacement of the projection of the center of the reference contour in the axial direction of the bulge with respect to the projection of the center of the inspection contour in the axial direction of the bulge; and

the calculating a thickness of the side wall based on the displacement information comprises:

obtaining a first preset thickness of the side wall, a preset length of a projection of the side wall in the axial direction of the bulge, a second preset thickness of the piece body, and a preset distance between the bottom portion of the bulge and the piece body in the axial direction of the bulge; and

calculating the thickness of the side wall based on the first preset thickness, the preset length, the second preset thickness, the preset distance, and the distance of displacement.

8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the determining, based on the elongation, whether quality of the side wall of the connecting piece is acceptable comprises:

determining, in response to the elongation being greater than a preset elongation, that quality of the side wall of the connecting piece is unacceptable; wherein

the preset elongation is determined based on the material and/or the size of the connecting piece.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mouth portion of the bulge comprises a first reference feature, and the bottom portion of the bulge comprises a second reference feature; and

the determining, in the inspection image, position information of a reference contour of the bulge and position information of an inspection contour of the bulge comprises:

obtaining, from the inspection image, first reference position information of the first reference feature and second reference position information of the second reference feature;

determining the position information of the reference contour of the bulge based on the first reference position information of the first reference feature; and

determining the position information of the inspection contour of the bulge based on the second reference position information of the second reference feature.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first reference feature comprises at least one reference feature point; and

the second reference feature comprises at least one inspection feature point, wherein a position of the at least one inspection feature point is in one-to-one correspondence with a position of the at least one reference feature point.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one reference feature point comprises a plurality of first patterns arranged along a circumference of the reference contour, and the plurality of first patterns are used to indicate the reference contour of the bulge; and the at least one inspection feature point comprises a plurality of second patterns arranged along a circumference of the inspection contour, and the plurality of second patterns are used to indicate the inspection contour of the bulge.

12 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one reference feature point and/or the at least one inspection feature point is provided on a surface of the bulge close to the piece body; and an obtaining direction of the inspection image is parallel to the axial direction of the bulge.

13 . A connecting piece quality inspection apparatus, wherein the connecting piece comprises a piece body and a bulge protruding from a surface of the piece body, and the apparatus comprises:

an image obtaining module, configured to obtain an inspection image of the connecting piece, wherein the inspection image covers the bulge;

an image identification module, configured to determine, in the inspection image, position information of a reference contour of the bulge and position information of an inspection contour of the bulge, wherein the reference contour is a contour of a mouth portion of the bulge co-planar with the piece body of the connecting piece, and the inspection contour is a contour of a bottom portion of the bulge away from the piece body of the connecting piece; and

an inspection result determining module, configured to determine a quality inspection result of the connecting piece based on the position information of the reference contour and the position information of the inspection contour.

14 . A connecting piece production method, comprising:

stamping a piece body of a connecting piece to form a bulge, wherein the bulge comprises a mouth portion co-planar with the piece body, a bottom portion protruding from the piece body, and a side wall connecting the mouth portion and the bottom portion; and
