When an element is defined as “being connected or coupled to” another element, the element may be directly connected or coupled to the element or one or more centered elements may be present therebetween. As used herein, the terms “vertical,” “horizontal,” “left,” “right,” and similar expressions are for illustration purposes.

In addition, technical features involved in various embodiments of the present disclosure described hereinafter may be combined as long as these technical features are not in conflict.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for assembling a prism according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following operations.

In operation S10, scanned data is acquired by scanning a space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed in response to the prism being placed at a first predetermined station and the fitting body being placed at a second predetermined station.

The first predetermined station is configured to place the prism, and the second predetermined station is configured to place the fitting body.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly of the prism to the fitting body, the first predetermined station is disposed to be horizontal to the second predetermined station.

Nevertheless, the first predetermined station and the second predetermined station may not be disposed horizontally, that is, accuracy of the first predetermined station and the second predetermined station is not strictly required, and configuration of the first predetermined station and the second predetermined station is simple.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, operation S10 further includes the following suboperations.

In suboperation S101, the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed is scanned using a laser scanner.

The laser scanner is an optical distance sensor, and is capable of emitting light. When the laser scanner is connected to a processor, a distance between the laser scanner and a scanned object is acquired according to a length of the light emitting from the laser scanner between the laser scanner and the scanned object.

It should be noted that, the laser scanner scans a space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed. To be specific, the laser scanner scans the prism at the first predetermined station, the fitting body at the second predetermined station, and a blank area between the prism and the fitting body.

In suboperation S102, the scanned data is formed by acquiring a distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed.

The scanned data includes the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed.

It may be understood that, the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed is a series of data. The data includes distances from the laser scanner to a plurality of sites on the prism, to a plurality of sites on the fitting body, and to a plurality of sites on the blank area between the prism and the fitting body.

It may be understood that, the more data of the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed, the higher accuracy of the prism assembly in the later stage based on the scanned data.

In operation S20, a physical 3D model is generated by three-dimensional reconstruction on the prism, the fitting body, and the space based on the scanned data.

In some embodiments, operation S20 further includes: generating the physical 3D model in accordance with an inverse imaging principle by three-dimensional reconstruction on the prism, the fitting body, and the space based on the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed.

It should be noted that, the physical 3D model in accordance with the inverse imaging principle is constructed at a view angle different from view angles of the prism at the first predetermined station, the fitting body at the second predetermined station, and the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed in reality, and thus the generated physical 3D model may be rotated, such that the generated physical 3D model is at the same view angle as the view angles of the prism at the first predetermined station, the fitting body at the second predetermined station, and the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed in reality.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the scanned data not only includes the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed, but also includes information of an angle of light emitted from the laser scanner; and in this case, generating the physical 3D model by three-dimensional reconstruction on the prism, the fitting body, and the space based on the scanned data includes: imaging the physical 3D model based on the distance from the laser scanner to the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed, and the information of the angle of the light emitted from the laser scanner.

In operation S30, the comparison data is acquired by comparing the physical 3D model with the theoretical 3D model, wherein the theoretical 3D model is a theoretical model for fitting the prism to the fitting body.

The theoretical 3D model shows the state after the prism is fitted to the fitting body, and the physical 3D model shows, with respect to the fitting body, the state before the prism is fitted to the fitting body. By comparing the states of the fitting body before and after the prism is fitted, the manipulator may be guided to fit the prism to the fitting body in a correct position.

The theoretical 3D model is a theoretical model for fitting the prism to the fitting body.

For example, before production and processing of the prism and the fitting body, a 3D model of the prism and the fitting body is often drawn, and the prism is fitted to the fitting body in the 3D model, such that theoretical 3D model is constructed.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, operation S30 specifically includes the following suboperations.

In suboperation S301, information of a first position of the prism on the fitting body is extracted in accordance with the theoretical 3D model.

It may be understood that, a plurality of first positions are provided, such that precision of subsequently fitting the prism to the fitting body may be ensured.

It may be understood that, a plurality of information of the first position of the prism on the fitting body is also extracted.

In some embodiments, the information of the first position includes coordinates of the first position.

In suboperation S302, the physical 3D model and the theoretical 3D model are adjusted to an identical view angle, and the comparison data is formed by acquiring information of a second position corresponding to the first position in the physical 3D model by comparing the physical 3D model with the theoretical 3D model.

It may be understood that, in the case that the plurality of first positions are provided, a plurality of second positions are provided, and one of the second positions corresponds to one of the first positions.

In some embodiments, the information of the second position includes coordinates of the second position.

In some embodiments, the physical 3D model and the theoretical 3D model have the same scale, that is, a size of the fitting body or the prism in the physical 3D model is the same as a size of the fitting body or the prism in the theoretical 3D model. In the case that the physical 3D model and the theoretical 3D model are adjusted to the same view angle, by respectively adjusting the positions of the origins of the coordinates of the physical 3D model and the theoretical 3D model, the coordinates of the second position are the same as the coordinates of the first position, and it is convenient to subsequently control the manipulator to fit the prism to the fitting body based on the comparison data.

In operation S40, based on the comparison data, the manipulator is controlled to fit the prism at the first predetermined station to the fitting body at the second predetermined station.

Referring to FIG. 4, operation S40 further specifically includes the following suboperations.

In suboperation S401, a first distance between the prism and the second position, and information of a first movement angle of the prism relative to the second position are calculated in the physical 3D model.

The first distance between the prism and the second position may be calculated based on the coordinates of sites on the prism, and the coordinates of the second position.

The information of the first movement angle is specifically, in the physical 3D model, a moved angle when the prism is moved to the fitting body and fitted to the fitting body.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in the case that the first predetermined station and the second predetermined station are horizontally disposed, the first distance is the distance between the prism and the second position in a first plane parallel to the prism, and the information of the first movement angle is a moved angle when the prism is moved above the fitting body and faces the position that the prism is to be fitted to the fitting body in the first plane parallel to the prism.

In suboperation S402, the first distance is converted to a second distance in a world coordinate system.

The method for converting the first distance to the second distance in the world coordinate system is a commonly known related art, which is not described in detail herein.

In suboperation S403, the information of the first movement angle is converted to information of a second movement angle in the world coordinate system.

The method for converting information of the first movement angle to the information of the second movement angle in the world coordinate system is a commonly known related art, which is not described in detail herein.

In suboperation S404, based on the second distance and the information of the second movement angle, the manipulator is controlled to fit the prism at the first predetermined station to the fitting body at the second predetermined station.

In some embodiments, the manipulator is connected to the motorized unit, and the method for controlling the manipulator to fit the prism at the first predetermined station to the fitting body at the second predetermined station specifically includes: controlling the motorized unit, such that the motorized unit drives the manipulator to fit the prism at the first predetermined station to the fitting body at the second predetermined station.

For example, in the case that the first predetermined station and the second predetermined station are horizontally disposed, the motorized unit drives the manipulator to grasp and raise the prism; in the first plane parallel to the prism, the motorized unit drives the manipulator to move by the second distance based on the information of the second movement angle, and the motorized unit drives the manipulator to descend and release the prism, such that the prism is fitted to the fitting body.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, scanned data is acquired by scanning a space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed in response to the prism being placed at a first predetermined station and the fitting body being placed at a second predetermined station; the physical 3D model is generated by three-dimensional reconstruction on the prism, the fitting body, and the space based on the scanned data; the comparison data is acquired by comparing the physical 3D model with the theoretical 3D model, wherein the theoretical 3D model is a theoretical model for fitting the prism to the fitting body; and based on the comparison data, the manipulator is controlled to fit the prism at the first predetermined station to the fitting body at the second predetermined station, such that the manipulator fits the prism to the fitting body with no need of manual assembly, which is very convenient. In addition, during the assembly, since the scanned data of the space where the prism and the fitting body are disposed is acquired; the physical 3D model is generated by three-dimensional reconstruction on the prism, the fitting body, and the space based on the scanned data; comparison data is acquired by comparing the physical 3D model with a theoretical 3D model; and based on the comparison data, the manipulator is controlled to fit the prism, the precision in assembling the prism to the fitting body is high, and the prism may be accurately assembled to the fitting body even the prism or the fitting body does not have a high machining precision.

A feasible method for calculating the difference between the poses of the prism and the fitting body and the poses of the prism and the fitting body in the theoretical 3D model includes: a difference between a first site on the prism and a second site on the fitting body, wherein the first site is disposed in another physical 3D model, and the second site corresponds to a site in another physical 3D model where the prism should be fitted in the theoretical 3D model.
