Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of detection methods for pre-filled nest boxes, and in particular to a detection method for pre-filled nest boxes. Background Art

[0002] As an important packaging form in the modern medical field, prefilled syringes are widely used in vaccines, biological preparations, emergency drugs and other scenarios due to their convenience, sterility and high-precision drug delivery characteristics. As the core protective structure of prefilled syringes, nested box packaging must have both sealing, easy opening and physical protection functions. Its quality directly affects the safety and efficiency of drug use. However, the current production process of prefilled nested box packaging still faces technical bottlenecks: For example, the welding process between the outer paper and the nest box has the problem of insufficient stability. Fluctuations in welding temperature, pressure or time parameters can easily lead to uneven weld strength, which manifests as poor sealing effect (such as air leakage, liquid leakage) or excessive welding (such as excessive tearing force). The former may cause the drug to become ineffective during transportation or storage, while the latter affects the rapid access of medical staff, especially in emergency scenarios, which may delay treatment.

[0003] In addition, traditional quality inspection methods mostly rely on manual visual inspection and sampling destructive testing, which are inefficient and lack coverage, making it difficult to achieve real-time monitoring of the entire production process. Existing automated inspection systems have limited recognition accuracy for micron-level deviations and lack the ability to quantitatively evaluate welding strength and tearing performance, resulting in a high risk of defective products flowing into downstream links.

[0004] As the medical industry continues to increase its requirements for packaging safety and compliance, developing a high-precision, non-destructive online detection method to monitor Tyvek paper welding parameters has become a key technical requirement for improving the quality of pre-filled nest box packaging. Summary of the invention

When the nest box reaches the detection position, the light source of the corresponding weld is turned on, and the edge line of the Tyvek paper and the inner edge line of the nest box is acquired by using a CCD detection camera. The directional analysis module converts the image information into digital information, compares the distance L between the edge line of the Tyvek paper and the inner edge line of the nest box and the angle α formed between the corresponding edge lines, and compares them with the preset distance threshold L' and the preset angle threshold α'. If the values ​​of the distance L and the angle α are less than the preset thresholds, it means that the placement position of the inner layer of Tyvek paper is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified; S2. Use a CCD detection camera to shoot the weld effect of the outer paper of the nest box that has passed the preliminary inspection to obtain a weld image, perform semantic segmentation processing on the obtained weld image, obtain the nest box welding surface area image and background information, mark the contours of the edges of the inner paper and the nest box and the weld image of the outer paper, and record the weld brightness, and determine the welding area according to the gray value change of the image area composed of continuous edge points; S3.

[0006] As a preferred solution, the semantic segmentation processing in S2 is to perform instance segmentation of the image into independent image individuals and enhance marginalization processing, and perform brightness test on the obtained detection image.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the number of CCD detection cameras in S1 is 4, corresponding to the four sides of the nest box respectively.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the CCD detection camera collects and obtains the edge lines of the Tyvek paper and the inner edge line of the nest box, and the directional analysis module converts the image information into digital information, compares the distance L between the four edge lines of the Tyvek paper and the inner edge line of the nest box and the angle α formed between the corresponding edge lines, and compares them with the preset distance threshold L' and the preset angle threshold α'. If the values ​​of the distance L and the angle α are less than the preset thresholds, it means that the placement position of the inner layer of Tyvek paper is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention uses optical imaging or laser sensing technology, combined with image processing algorithms, to accurately detect welding quality, balance the contradiction between sealing and tearability, and achieve detection without damaging the packaging, replacing traditional manual sampling destructive testing. The system uses high-speed data acquisition and processing to output detection results in real time and automatically remove defective products from the production line, significantly improving detection efficiency and defect interception rate, and preventing defective packaging from entering the market.
