The industrial personal computer 42 has a dimension calculating unit 424, tested for being read according to the scale detection unit 423 The image that connecting rod gathers twice calculates dimensions length data in image, and calculates 10 shift length of detection device, collects The dimensions length of tested connecting rod is calculated after addition.
The industrial personal computer has a result recording unit 425, for the tested company for being calculated the dimension calculating unit In the dimensions length deposit database of bar.
It should be noted that although some modules or list of the equipment for action executing are referred in above-detailed Member, but this division is not enforceable.In fact, according to embodiment of the present disclosure, it is above-described two or more Either the feature of unit and function can embody module in a module or unit.A conversely, above-described mould Either the feature of unit and function can be further divided into being embodied by multiple modules or unit block.
According to another aspect of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4 to 7, connect using a kind of measurement engine of above-mentioned measuring device The method of bar size, includes the following steps:
(1) tested connecting rod one end is transmitted by 10 initial position of detection device just by the conveyor 31 During lower section, the image of the tested interlinking lever end of the shooting of detection device 10 simultaneously passes to the control device 40;
(2) the standard specimen interlinking lever end that the control device 40 is prestored by judging whether matching after the image procossing to collection Appearance;
(3) if the control device 40 judges to mismatch, above-mentioned steps (1) are returned to;
(4) conveyor 31 is stopped transmission if the control device 40 judges successful match and make the detection dress Put 10 stoppings shooting;
(5) control device 40 is by controlling the operating of screw slide unit 20 to drive the detection device 10 to be moved to Final position, and shoot the image of tested connecting rod the other end and pass to the control device 40;And
(6) control device 40 is calculated come dimensions length data in image by being tested the image that connecting rod collects twice And the 10 shift length data of detection device are calculated, three length datas calculate the lateral dimension of tested connecting rod after collecting Length.
Specifically, before the step (1), it is necessary to preset, including the bilateral telecentric lens 11 and institute are preset The Focussing of optical image former 12 is stated, presets standard specimen interlinking lever end image, the initial position is preset and presets the terminal Position, it is standard connecting rod dimensions length to make distance between the two.As shown in figure 5, it is that two predeterminated positions are clapped in an embodiment The image and the relation schematic diagram of displacement taken the photograph, readily appreciate the calculating of the dimension calculating unit 424.
Specifically, when measuring same model engine link, the two end view pictures of standard specimen connecting rod that can prestore are initial Position and the matching object in final position.
Further, the initial position and the end are preset according to the standard size of the model, the control device 40 Point position, the deformation due to metalwork or incompleteness cause change in size to the engine link in process of production, general size Change can measure accurate connecting rod lateral length size between 1~2cm by two predeterminated positions.
Specifically, in the step (2), the control device 40 is by the image processing unit of the industrial personal computer to institute The tested connecting rod one end image for stating the collection of detection device 10 is pre-processed and obtains the edge graph of the tested connecting rod;With it is logical The comparison judgment unit of the industrial personal computer 42 is crossed by the one end appearance edge graph of tested connecting rod and the standard interlinking lever end to prestore Apparent size is compared, to judge whether tested interlinking lever end appearance matches.
Specifically, after the step (6), the control device 40 restarts the transmitting device and causes previous quilt The engine link of measurement continues to transmit forward, and latter engine link to be measured enters immediately below final position by the inspection Survey device to photograph, the detection device 10 first carries out shooting to latter engine link to be measured from final position and moves again to Initial position is shot.
That is, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, to improve detection efficiency, detection method is first to be moved to end from initial position Point position calculates size after being shot to previous connecting rod, followed by from final position be moved to initial position to latter connecting rod into Row shooting after calculate size, using initial position->Final position, final position->The measuring method of initial position circulation, more Adapt to production line machineryization running.
Such as in practical operation, the two end view pictures of major part and microcephaly for the standard specimen connecting rod that prestores, will just as matching object Beginning, position was preset with standard specimen big end end images match, and final position is preset with standard specimen small end of connecting rod end images match, , only can be by institute when tested big end end enters default initial position when then being measured to first tested connecting rod The image that detection device 10 captures matching major part end is stated, tested small end of connecting rod end is carried out when then moving to final position Capture images, do not have to the image for matching small cephalic par again, because the error of same batch and model is only in order to save time at this time It can be precisely recorded by bilateral telecentric lens of the present apparatus with scale only in 2cm, if being afraid of that error can also be again again Matching once, terminates to identify and measure at this time, preserves the dimension data in image and displacement data is accurately tested connecting rod Size stores in the database;Restarting conveyor is moved forwards with conveying connection rod, since at this time, the detection device 10 exists Final position, that will first wait tested small end of connecting rod end to be caught when entering final position by the detection device 10 at this time The image for matching small cephalic par is received, capture images are carried out to tested big end end when then moving again to initial position, with This automation circulation shooting and measurement, efficient, measurement is accurate, is more advantageous to adapting to the traditional production technology of engine link In, it is easy to be extended and applied.
In addition, although describing each step of method in the disclosure with particular order in the accompanying drawings, still, this does not really want These steps must be performed according to the particular order by asking or implying, or the step having to carry out shown in whole could be realized Desired result.It is additional or alternative, it is convenient to omit multiple steps are merged into a step and performed by some steps, and/ Or a step is decomposed into execution of multiple steps etc..
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiment of the present invention shown in foregoing description and attached drawing is only used as illustrating And it is not intended to limit the present invention.The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved.The function and structural principle of the present invention exists Show and illustrate in embodiment, under without departing from the principle, embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation or modification.
