[0041] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , the present invention provides three technical solutions:

[0043] Example 1:

[0044] An automatic processing technology for non-standard plates includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: Draw a drawing based on the plate body, and use its size, specifications and shape as the operating instruction parameters of the CNC machine tool to realize automatic processing and reading of data;

[0047] S3: After completion, post-processing is performed again and data recording and analysis are performed.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] The intelligent recognition system module includes a plate acquisition module, a model intelligent recognition module, and a recognition result classification and process selection module. The plate acquisition module is used to collect and extract features of the material and texture of the plate. The model intelligent recognition module completes feature recognition based on the established recognition model. The recognition result classification and process selection module is used to analyze the recognition results and match the process selection. Selecting the appropriate processing technology is conducive to improving the final quality of the product and reducing the number of damaged plates.

[0050] The plate collection module collects and identifies the type and texture of the plate. The types of plates include wooden plates, metal plates, plastic plates, glass plates, stone plates and composite plates. The type and texture of the plate can be collected and identified through image recognition technology. The image recognition collection is completed based on the convolutional neural network. The type and texture of the plate can be collected and identified through image recognition, which effectively improves the production efficiency and product quality of plate processing, reduces labor costs and resource waste, and improves the quality of the final product of the plate.

[0051] The recognition result classification and process selection module is used to collect the specific material of the plate after recognition, classify it and select the corresponding processing technology. The processing technology can be divided into CNC multi-axis linkage processing, laser intelligent cutting and stamping forming, so as to complete the selection of the processing technology for the plate.

[0052] After completing the collection and identification of the boards, the specific processing technology is selected according to their type. Wooden boards can be processed by cutting, planing, splicing, hot pressing and gluing. Metal boards can be processed by stamping, bending and welding. Plastic boards can be processed by injection molding and extrusion. Glass boards can be processed by cutting, grinding, tempering and laminating. Stone boards can be processed by laser cutting and polishing. Composite materials can be processed by lamination, stamping and melt compounding. Choosing a processing method suitable for the board material can help reduce material waste and energy consumption. By matching the most appropriate processing technology, it can be ensured that the board will not be damaged during the processing, thereby ensuring the quality of the final product.

[0053] A convolutional neural network consists of the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Pre-collect training data on plate types and textures. The training data includes feature data and corresponding plate texture type labels. Calibrate the plate texture type labels, setting texture type A to 1 and texture type B to 2. Collect the plate texture feature information through image processing.

[0055] Step 2: Set the model structure parameters: Set the structural parameters of the neural network model;

[0056] Step 3: Initialize weights and biases: Initialize the weights and biases in the neural network model;

[0057] Step 4: Divide the data set: Divide the collected training data into a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 8:2;

[0058] Step 5: Model training: Input the training set into the neural network model for training to obtain the trained neural network model;

[0059] Step 6: Model Validation: Import the validation set data into the trained neural network model, obtain the plate texture type label number predicted by the model output, and calculate the error between the actual plate texture type label of the validation set and the predicted label;

[0060] Step 7: Determine and adjust: Determine whether the error is within the preset error range. If so, stop training and output the trained neural network model. If not, adjust the weights and biases of the neural network model according to the error and return to step 5 to continue training.

[0061] Step 8: Practical application: Use the trained neural network model to classify and identify the plate texture type in the detection area.

[0062] Design optimization in the intelligent planning model dynamically adjusts the parameters of laser cutting power and punching speed by real-time analysis of sheet material and equipment status.

[0063] Among them, path planning is based on a multi-axis linkage algorithm based on reinforcement learning to optimize the cutting path and reduce spatial travel. The digital twin platform simulates the AGV transport route, adjusts the path based on real-time order priorities, and implements path planning based on the input standard plate size. Fault prediction achieves full-dimensional monitoring of equipment operation status by deploying high-precision sensors and industrial cameras. The LSTM-based time series analysis model predicts the remaining life of the equipment, associates historical maintenance records with real-time working conditions, and generates maintenance recommendations. In path planning, the path set first can be combined with the plate material to make the best path planning, so as to complete the standard size processing and cutting of the plate. Fault prediction can avoid problems encountered by the equipment during processing, reduce accidents, improve work efficiency, and reduce jams during plate processing, which affects the final quality of the plate. The path planning formula is as follows:

[0064] F=α·U+β·θ

[0065] Where U is the material utilization rate of the board, θ is the proportion of the cutting area along the grain, and the weight coefficients α and β are dynamically adjusted according to the bending strength requirements of the wood.

[0066] Data recording and analysis include:

[0067] Data collection: record key data during the processing, including the time, energy consumption and scrap rate of sheet metal processing;

[0068] Performance evaluation: Based on the collected data, the processing efficiency and product quality are evaluated. Through data collection and performance evaluation during processing, the best processing method for sheet metal processing can be made again to improve the final quality of the product.

[0069] The automatic processing is based on automatic loading of plates. The intelligent recognition system module is used to automatically select the processing method for the plates, cut the plates, and process the depth and width of the intervals according to the specific material of the plates during cutting. The plates are automatically unloaded after processing. The process matching and path planning of the plates are completed in the above manner. The cutting depth and interval width required for the plates during processing can be directly obtained, thereby achieving the effect of automatic processing and effectively improving competitiveness.

The roller line 5 conveys the sheet material forward and passes over the No. 1 scanner 16 and the No. 2 scanner 14 respectively. The scanner completes the scanning and uploads the data to the server. The No. 2 robot 1 grabs the scanned sheet material 9 on the No. 1 roller line 17 and places it on the positioning table 3 for origin positioning. After the positioning is completed, the No. 2 robot 1 puts the positioned sheet material into the No. 1 slotting machine 8 and triggers the in-place signal device 19. The slotting machine 2 clamping platform is provided with front and rear guide blocks 22, which starts the clamping plate. The No. 2 robot 1 releases the sheet material and returns to the standby position. At the same time, the No. 1 robot 6 brings the material from the incoming material cart 7. Grab the sheet material 12 from the No. 2 roller line 15 and put it into the No. 2 groover 13 while the No. 1 groover 8 is processing. The No. 2 robot 1 grabs the scanned sheet material 12 from the No. 2 roller line 15 and puts it into the No. 2 groover 13 and triggers the in-place signal device 19. The groover 2 starts the clamping plate. The No. 2 robot 1 releases the sheet material and returns to the standby position. At the same time, the No. 1 robot will grab the material on the material cart 7 and put it into the No. 2 roller line 15 for replenishment. At this time, the No. 1 groover 8 and the No. 2 groover 13 are both performing processing operations. The No. 2 robot 1 will automatically put the processed sheet material into the position of the completed processing cart 11 in order according to the processing signals completed by the two machines, and the machine will automatically run in a cycle.
