Description

Teaching method of sensor and invisible light sensor
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of sensor technology.
Background
In the use of the sensor, for a large-sized object to be detected, the object to be detected only needs to be placed in a section where the object can be normally detected. As shown in fig. 1, the photosensor 10 emits infrared light 11, the infrared light 11 is invisible, the infrared light 11 forms a spot 12 on the background plate, the spot 12 is also invisible, and the object 13 can be placed right under the photosensor 10 so as to be detected by the photosensor 10.
In the field of actual production operation, the volume of the detected object is smaller and smaller, and the requirement on the setting precision of the sensor is higher and higher, so that the detection position and the state of the sensor can be accurately known when the object is set on the field, and the working state that the detected object can be normally detected is taken as a typical working state, so that the detected object can be normally detected under the working state.
It should be noted that the above background description is only for the convenience of clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present application and for the understanding of those skilled in the art. Such solutions are not considered to be known to the person skilled in the art merely because they have been set forth in the background section of the present application.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor finds that since the detection range of many sensors, such as an infrared light sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc., cannot be directly observed visually, it is impossible to determine whether the detection direction of the sensor is at the target object position during field operation, and thus the sensor cannot be set correctly, which may result in failure of detection or false detection. In this case, in actual installation, debugging, maintenance, and the like on site, since it is impossible to confirm whether or not the object to be measured is accurately detected, a great deal of trouble is caused, and a large number of debugging man-hours are consumed.
Fig. 2 and 3 are schematic views of detection scenes of two non-visible light sensors, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, in both of which infrared light sensors are employed, which detect the presence or absence of an object by emitting infrared light. Here, the infrared light sensor 20 of fig. 2 has a large spot 21, and can be normally detected when the target object 22 is at position B, and cannot be normally detected when the target object 22 is at position a or position C. Further, the infrared light sensor 30 of fig. 3 has a small spot 31 which can be normally detected when the target object 32 is at position B; when the object specimen 32 is at the position a or the position C, it cannot be normally detected.
However, since infrared light is invisible, it is difficult to determine whether or not the target object 22, 32 is at the target detection position B, for example, due to mounting deviation of the sensor, there is a possibility that the position center of the spot 21, 31 is not at the target detection position B, and thus the target object 22, 32 cannot be accurately detected.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a teaching scene of an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, a teaching button 501 and a teaching instruction LED 502 are provided on a non-visible light sensor 500, teaching starts when the teaching button 501 is pressed, the teaching instruction LED 502 is turned on, the non-visible light sensor 500 emits a visible light 503, the visible light 503 is used for indicating a detection position, and a light spot P is formed on a background plate; the invisible light sensor 500 also emits invisible light 504, the invisible light 504 has a detection region 505, and the invisible light 504 is used for judging the sensor state, i.e., a normal state (a state in which the object to be detected can be normally detected) or an abnormal state (a state in which the object to be detected cannot be normally detected) during teaching; in the detection, the non-visible light 504 is used to detect the presence or absence of the analyte O. As shown in fig. 5, when the object O is located in the detection area 505, it can be detected normally. Thus, the detection position is indicated by the visible light 503 when teaching the invisible light sensor 500, and the sensors can be appropriately arranged so that the object O is located in the detection region 505 where normal detection is possible.
In the embodiment of the application, the non-visible light sensor can perform 1-point teaching or 2-point teaching, in the 1-point teaching process, only 1 detection signal is obtained, the received signal strength of the detection signal can be calculated through receiving the detection signal, and the threshold value is calculated based on the received signal strength; in the 2-point teaching process, 2 detection signals are received, the received signal strengths of the two detection signals can be respectively calculated, the threshold value is calculated based on the received signal strengths of the two detection signals, and when the threshold value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value or the received signal strength of the detection signal (for 1-point teaching, namely the received signal strength of the 1 detection signal; for 2-point teaching, namely the preset proportion of the received signal strengths of the two detection signals) is greater than or equal to the preset received signal strength, the state of the non-visible light sensor is determined to be a normal state. As for the contents of the 1-point teaching and the 2-point teaching, the related art can be referred to, and the following description is briefly made.
The 1-point teaching is as follows: the controller reads the received signal strength of the signal detection circuit in this state when the target object is at a predetermined detected position, calculates the threshold range at that time based on the received signal strength, and sets the current threshold accordingly, for example, a current threshold is set in a range of ± 10% to ± 90% of the received signal strength in accordance with a specific ratio and calculation. When the sensor works normally, the actual detection received signal intensity of the sensor is compared with the current threshold value, if the actual detection received signal intensity is larger than or equal to the current threshold value, the object is judged to be detected, otherwise, the object is judged not to be detected.
The 2-point teaching is as follows: teaching is carried out under two conditions of 'existence of a detected object' and 'no detected object', a teaching button is pressed under the condition that a target detected object is at a preset detection position (under the condition that the detected object exists), and the controller reads the received signal intensity of a signal detection circuit under the state to serve as first point teaching of 2-point teaching; when the target object is not at the detected position (when there is no object), the teaching button is pressed again, the controller reads the received signal strength of the signal detection circuit in this state as the second point teaching of the 2-point teaching, the controller calculates the difference between the received signal strength under the first point teaching condition and the received signal strength under the second point teaching condition, and calculates the current threshold value based on a predetermined ratio of the difference. For example, the average value of the 2-point received signal strength is taken as the current threshold. When the sensor works normally, the actual detection received signal intensity of the sensor is compared with the current threshold value, if the actual detection received signal intensity is larger than or equal to the current threshold value, the object is judged to be detected, otherwise, the object is judged not to be detected. The sequence of the first point teaching and the second point teaching can be interchanged.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a teaching visualization workflow, as shown in FIG. 6, with sensors (601) set prior to the start of teaching; then, the controller controls the signal transmitting circuit to operate, transmitting the detection signal (602), and controls the signal detecting circuit to operate, receiving the detection signal (603).
After teaching is started, for example, after a teaching button is pressed, if the teaching is 1 point teaching, the controller controls the teaching visualization circuit to emit visible light (604). Optionally, the controller may also control the display circuit to operate, illuminating the teaching indicator LED (605). Then, the controller controls the signal detection loop to work, receives the detection signal and calculates the intensity of the received signal (606); if the signal is the 2-point teaching, the controller controls the signal detection loop to work again, receives the 2 nd detection signal and calculates the strength of the received signal (607). Optionally, the controller may control the display circuit to operate (608), for example, to display the calculated or set result on the display circuit, so as to facilitate the product to interact with the user, and to facilitate the viewing of the specific setting steps and parameter sizes, in this example, such as: and displaying a 1-point teaching state when the 1-point teaching is performed, displaying the teaching states of the first point and the second point respectively when the 2-point teaching is performed, displaying the received signal strength and the current threshold value, and the like. In addition, when the sensor is in a normal state, the normal state is displayed, and when the sensor is in an abnormal state, the alarm state and the error code are displayed, so that the working state and the internal parameters of the sensor can be visually seen conveniently; if no abnormity exists, the teaching indication LED is turned off in a delayed mode after the normal display is carried out for a period of time, and the end of the teaching operation of the user is confirmed.
Then, the controller calculates the current threshold value according to the received signal strength (one signal strength in 1-point teaching or two signal strengths in 2-point teaching) (609); then, the controller makes a signal judgment (610), if the current threshold is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, or the received signal strength (for 1-point teaching, the received signal strength of one detection signal; for 2-point teaching, a predetermined ratio, such as an average value, of the received signal strengths of two detection signals) is greater than or equal to the preset received signal strength, that is, the judgment is yes, the controller judges that the state of the sensor is a normal state, controls the teaching visualization loop to work, and turns off the visible light with a delay (611), otherwise, the controller judges that the state of the sensor is an abnormal state, controls the teaching visualization loop to work, and performs a warning instruction (612).
If the teaching needs to be repeated, for example, if the signal is judged to be negative, that is, the sensor is in an abnormal state, the above process can be repeated, and details are not repeated here; if the teaching is not required to be repeated, for example, the signal is judged to be yes, namely, the sensor is in a normal state, the teaching is finished, and the sensor can start to work.
