A kind of intelligent control system and method of potato cutting machine based on machine vision

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent control system and method for a potato cutting machine based on machine vision. The system comprises a machine vision module, an MATLAB image processing module, a PLC control module, a transport power module, a cutting machine power module and a feeding port sensing module, wherein the machine vision module is connected with the MATLAB image processing module; the MATLAB image processing module and the PLC control module are connected through a WinccOPC server; and the PLC control module is connected with the transport power module and the feeding port sensing module and is connected with the cutting machine power module through a frequency conversion module. The intelligent control system and method have the advantages of saving energy, guaranteeing complete cutting of potatoes, preventing a feeding port of the potato cutting machine from being blocked, greatly improving potato cutting efficiency and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of potato processing, in particular to an intelligent control system and method for a potato cutting machine based on machine vision. Background technique [0002] Potatoes are one of the vegetables and fruits that people often eat in daily life. They can be made into dishes and placed on the dining table, or processed into delicious snacks such as French fries and potato chips, which are very popular among people. In 2016, the potato planting area in my country was about 85.26 million mu, and the output reached about 92.01 million tons. [0003] With the continuous development of potato processing technology, a complete set of potato processing equipment has gradually formed, such as potato peeling machine, potato cutting machine, etc. The machines cooperate with each other to realize potato assembly line processing and production. [0004] During the production process of the potato assembly line, the pot...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] During the production process of the potato assembly line, the potatoes peeled by the potato peeler will be intermittently passed through the conveyor belt to the potato cutting machine for slicing. However, the potato cutting machines currently on the market use uniform speed processing and slicing, regardless of the slicing mouth. Whether there are potatoes at the slicing mouth, the knife at the slicing mouth will also perform slicing operations, resulting in a large amount of power consumption; in addition, the amount of potatoes transported to the inlet of the potato cutting machine is uncertain. If there are too many potatoes, the potato cutting Machine-cut potatoes are incomplete, which affects the quality of potatoes leaving the factory; in severe cases, it will also block the feed port of the potato cutting machine, affecting the progress of subsequent processes and greatly reducing the processing efficiency of processing enterprises
