  • 摘要: 针对隧道监控摄像头易附着灰尘与油污、人工清洗效率低且风险高等问题,提出一套面向隧道机电养护作业的4自由度机械臂高压水射流自动清洗系统。该系统搭载于养护车辆高空作业平台,末端集成深度相机与高压水射流喷头,可实现摄像头识别、位姿测量与定点清洗一体化作业。采用Zero-DCE++低照度增强算法与YOLOv8检测模型融合法实现弱光环境下摄像头的识别;基于深度图像与向量叉乘法提取镜面法向量,解析摄像头空间位姿;构建相机—机械臂坐标系映射关系,提出考虑水射流抛物线特性的“粗定位+姿态精定位”两阶段控制策略。试验结果表明:经增强处理后,在4~24 lux照度条件下摄像头有效识别距离由3~11 m提升至9~12 m;J1、J2位置关节定位误差小于0.1 mm,J3、J4角度关节定位误差小于1°;该系统单次自动清洗作业时间约20 s,单位时间清洗效率约为人工方式的3倍。

     

    Abstract: To address the issues of dust and oil contamination on tunnel surveillance cameras, as well as the low efficiency and high risk of manual cleaning, a high-pressure water jet automatic cleaning system based on a four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) robotic arm is proposed for tunnel electromechanical maintenance. The system is mounted on an aerial work platform of a maintenance vehicle, and a depth camera and high-pressure water jet nozzle are integrated at the end-effector, enabling integrated camera recognition, pose measurement, and targeted cleaning. The Zero-DCE++ low-light enhancement algorithm combined with the YOLOv8 detection model was used to identify cameras under weak illumination. Based on depth images and the vector cross-product method, the mirror normal vector was extracted to determine the spatial pose of the camera. A coordinate mapping relationship between the camera and robotic arm was established, and a two-stage control strategy of “coarse positioning + precise pose alignment” was developed by considering the parabolic characteristics of the water jet. Experimental results show that, after image enhancement, the effective camera detection distance under 4–24 lux increases from 3–11 m to 9–12 m. The positioning errors of translational joints J1 and J2 are less than 0.1 mm, and the angular errors of rotational joints J3 and J4 are less than 1°. A single automatic cleaning operation takes approximately 20 s, representing a 66.7% reduction in operation time compared with manual aerial cleaning, and the cleaning efficiency per unit time is approximately three times that of the manual method. Field tests verify that the system has good engineering adaptability.
