DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] To further illustrate the technical means and effects employed by the present invention to achieve its intended objectives, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments, structures, features, and effects of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, references to "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics of one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The data and information collected in this application were obtained with full consent and authorization.

[0017] The present embodiment provides a method for detecting the sealing properties of plastic bottles to perform sealing tests on plastic bottles. The method for detecting the sealing properties of plastic bottles provided in the present embodiment is suitable for performing sealing tests on plastic bottles using an air pressure method. During the preliminary preparation process, it is first necessary to clean the bottle body and the bottle cap to remove oil and dust, and ensure that there is no liquid residue or impurities in the bottle to avoid affecting the sealing effect; use a sealing adapter that matches the bottle mouth (such as a threaded or compression type) to ensure that the bottle mouth is tightly connected to the inflation device to avoid external leakage; then, confirm that the air pressure detection device such as the pressure controller, pressure sensor, inflation valve, and deflation valve are functioning properly, and calibrate the pressure sensor to monitor the dynamic changes in pressure in the plastic bottle in real time through the pressure sensor.

[0018] Parameter setting: Determine the target pressure, inflation rate, and pressure holding time based on the volume of the plastic bottle to be tested. For example, for small bottles below 500 ml, the target pressure is usually set to 0.4-0.6 MPa. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.5 MPa. When the volume of the plastic bottle is small, a too fast inflation rate can easily lead to pressure overshoot or even bottle rupture. Therefore, the inflation rate is set to 0.03 MPa / s and the pressure holding time is 60 seconds; the pressure relief rate is set to 0.1 MPa / s to avoid rapid pressure relief causing residual air pressure in the bottle to affect the judgment.

[0019] The air pressure testing process primarily consists of a pressurization phase and a pressure-maintaining phase. The pressurization phase involves first opening the inflation valve and filling the plastic bottle to the target pressure at a set inflation rate. During inflation, pressure changes are recorded at a preset sampling frequency. This sampling frequency depends on the bottle's volume and inflation rate. Small bottles (e.g., under 500 mL) experience a short inflation time (typically within a few seconds) and a rapid pressure rise, requiring a higher sampling frequency (e.g., 0.1-0.5 seconds / sample) to capture peak pressure fluctuations during the rapid inflation phase. Large bottles (e.g., over 1 L) experience a longer inflation time and relatively gradual pressure changes, requiring a lower sampling frequency (e.g., 0.5-1 second / sample). During the pressurization process, the real-time pressure data is used to generate a pressure sequence for the bottle, which is then plotted as a pressure curve.

[0020] After the internal pressure of the plastic bottle reaches the target pressure, the inflation valve is closed, and the pressure holding process begins. The pressure data of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding time is recorded. To capture micro-leakage signals, the sampling frequency can be 2 times / second. During the pressure holding process, the real-time pressure data is obtained to obtain the pressure sequence of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process, and then a pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process is plotted.

[0021] In addition, after the pressure holding process is completed, the pressure relief valve is slowly opened to release the pressure on the plastic bottle at a set rate until the pressure drops to the ambient pressure. At the same time, the pressure changes during the pressure relief process can also be recorded.

[0022] When the sealing performance of a plastic bottle is normal, the pressure inside the bottle exhibits distinct characteristics at different stages. First, during the inflation phase (i.e., the pressurization process), the pressure inside the bottle rises linearly or approximately linearly over time, with a steady increase in pressure and no significant fluctuations or stagnation. During the pressure-holding process, there is no gas leakage, and the pressure inside the bottle remains stable or decreases very slowly. During the pressure relief process, the pressure drops rapidly to ambient pressure. During actual testing, the plastic bottle under test may have sealing issues, resulting in the recorded pressure changes differing from the theoretical values. Therefore, this embodiment determines the sealing performance of the plastic bottle based on the pressure changes during the pressurization and pressure-holding processes.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for detecting the sealing property of a plastic bottle, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the delay between the actual pressure of the plastic bottle and the target pressure during the pressurization process of the plastic bottle; Step 2: Determine the pressure fluctuation of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process, and combine it with the delay degree to obtain the abnormal degree of the pressure of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process; Step 3: Determine the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process; Step 4: Obtain the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle according to the abnormal degree of the plastic bottle pressure and the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle.

[0024] The specific implementation process of each step is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Step 1: Obtain the delay between the actual pressure of the plastic bottle and the target pressure during the pressurization process of the plastic bottle.

[0026] When there is a sealing problem with the plastic bottle, air leakage will occur during the pressurization process. The air leakage and inflation will form a dynamic equilibrium process, resulting in a longer time to reach the target pressure. This dynamic process of air leakage and inflation will be reflected on the pressure change curve as a small sawtooth fluctuation in the curve. Moreover, when there is a big problem with the sealing of the plastic bottle, that is, when the air leakage is serious, the internal pressure of the plastic bottle may not reach the target pressure, or it may drop rapidly after reaching the target pressure. Therefore, during the pressurization process of the plastic bottle, if there is no sealing problem with the plastic bottle, the actual pressure of the plastic bottle will reach the target pressure at a predetermined speed. However, if there is a sealing problem with the plastic bottle, there will be a certain time delay for the actual pressure of the plastic bottle to reach the target pressure, and the worse the sealing is, the higher the degree of delay. Therefore, the degree of delay in the actual pressure of the plastic bottle reaching the target pressure during the pressurization process of the plastic bottle is obtained, and the degree of delay can characterize the sealing of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process. In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a specific process of obtaining the delay degree is given as follows: Step 1-1: Obtain a reference pressure and a reference duration of the plastic bottle during a pressurization process.

[0027] During the pressurization process, the pressure inside the plastic bottle gradually rises. If the bottle is leak-proof, the actual pressure will reach the target pressure. If the leak is not severe (i.e., the leak is not serious), the pressure inside the bottle will reach the target pressure, but the time to reach the target pressure will be delayed. If the leak is severe (i.e., the leak is serious), the pressure inside the bottle may not reach the target pressure, or may drop rapidly after reaching the target pressure. Furthermore, during the period close to the target pressure, the dynamic process of leaking and filling will cause pressure fluctuations.

[0028] Therefore, the pressure sequence of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process is obtained, and then the difference between the target pressure and each pressure value in the pressure sequence of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process is calculated, so as to obtain a difference sequence by time sequence. The smaller the difference in the difference sequence, the smaller the gap from the target pressure. If the difference sequence is a monotonically decreasing sequence, the minimum value in the difference sequence is obtained. It can be understood that the plastic bottle pressure corresponding to the minimum value is the pressure value closest to the target pressure that appears for the first time, and this pressure value is recorded as the reference pressure. When the plastic bottle does not have a sealing problem, or the sealing problem of the plastic bottle is not very serious, the reference pressure is equal to the target pressure; when the sealing problem of the plastic bottle is very serious and the plastic bottle cannot reach the target pressure, the reference pressure is less than the target pressure. Therefore, the reference pressure is less than or equal to the target pressure.

[0029] If the difference sequence is not a monotonically decreasing sequence, and it increases after reaching a minimum value, then the first minimum value in the time series of the difference sequence is obtained. This minimum value indicates that the difference between the plastic bottle pressure and the target pressure is the smallest. It can be understood that the plastic bottle pressure corresponding to this minimum value is the first pressure value closest to the target pressure, and this pressure value is recorded as the reference pressure. Therefore, if the difference sequence is not a monotonically decreasing sequence, it means that the sealing problem of the plastic bottle is very serious, and the pressure of the plastic bottle quickly drops after reaching or approaching the target pressure. Therefore, the reference pressure is less than or equal to the target pressure. In summary, the obtained reference pressure is less than or equal to the target pressure.

[0030] The time when the reference pressure appears is obtained, and the time interval between the time when the reference pressure appears and the time when the pressurization starts is obtained as the pressurization duration corresponding to the reference pressure, and the pressurization duration is defined as the reference duration.

[0031] Step 1-2: Obtain the degree of delay based on the pressure difference and duration difference.

[0032] Obtain the difference between the target pressure and the reference pressure, that is, calculate the difference between the target pressure and the reference pressure, and define it as the pressure difference. Since the reference pressure is less than or equal to the target pressure, the pressure difference is greater than or equal to 0. A larger pressure difference indicates a greater delay in the pressure inside the plastic bottle reaching the target pressure, a more severe delay in the actual pressure of the plastic bottle reaching the target pressure, and a more serious sealing problem in the plastic bottle.

[0033] Since the target pressure and the inflation rate during the pressurization process are predetermined before the pressurization test, the ratio of the target pressure to the inflation rate can be calculated to obtain the theoretical time required for the pressure inside the plastic bottle to reach the target pressure, defined as the theoretical duration. It should be understood that if the plastic bottle does not have a sealing issue, the pressure in the plastic bottle will normally increase to the target duration, and the reference duration of the plastic bottle will equal the theoretical duration. If the plastic bottle does have a sealing issue, the pressure inside the plastic bottle will increase more slowly than normal, and the pressure in the plastic bottle will reach the reference pressure more slowly, resulting in the reference duration being greater than the theoretical duration. Therefore, the reference duration is greater than or equal to the theoretical duration. The difference between the reference duration and the theoretical duration is calculated, defined as the duration difference, and this duration difference is greater than or equal to 0. The greater the duration difference, the greater the delay in the pressure inside the plastic bottle reaching the target pressure, and the more severe the delay in the actual pressure of the plastic bottle reaching the target pressure.

[0034] Therefore, the degree of delay is obtained based on the pressure difference and the time difference, and the degree of delay is proportional to both the pressure difference and the time difference. In an exemplary embodiment, a specific quantitative method of the degree of delay is given as follows: ; in, For the degree of delay, is the pressure difference, The difference in duration. represents a normalization function. In this embodiment, the normalization involved can adopt the following method: hyperbolic tangent function (tanh).

[0035] By taking the average value of the two normalized differences to fuse the pressure difference and the duration difference, the impact of the two differences on the delay degree can be comprehensively considered to obtain the delay degree.

[0036] Step 2: Determine the pressure fluctuation of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process, and combine it with the delay degree to obtain the abnormal degree of the plastic bottle pressure during the pressurization process.

[0037] During the pressurization process, if the plastic bottle has no sealing issues, the pressure of the plastic bottle will change relatively smoothly during the pressurization process. However, if the plastic bottle has a sealing issue, the pressure of the plastic bottle will fluctuate during the pressurization process. The more serious the sealing issue, the more significant the pressure fluctuation during the pressurization process. Therefore, the pressure fluctuation of the plastic bottle is obtained. In an exemplary embodiment, the pressure fluctuation of the plastic bottle includes three parts: fluctuation amplitude characteristics, fluctuation duration difference characteristics, and maximum fluctuation duration.

[0038] The process of obtaining the fluctuation amplitude signature includes identifying each peak and trough in the pressure variation curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process, obtaining the pressure difference between adjacent peaks and troughs (i.e., the difference between the pressure value corresponding to the peak and the pressure value corresponding to the trough) as a fluctuation amplitude, and then traversing all peaks and troughs in the pressure variation curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process to obtain multiple fluctuation amplitudes. The average of these multiple fluctuation amplitudes is then calculated as the fluctuation amplitude signature of the pressurization process. The fluctuation amplitude signature represents the amplitude of pressure variation during the pressurization process. The smaller the pressure variation, the closer the leakage and inflation volume are to equilibrium, the smoother the fluctuation, and the less severe the leakage. The larger the pressure variation, the more severe the pressure fluctuation and the more severe the leakage. It should be understood that when there are almost no peaks or troughs in the pressure variation curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process, that is, the pressure variation is very smooth, the resulting fluctuation amplitudes are very small, and the fluctuation amplitude signature is very small. Therefore, the fluctuation amplitude signature can indicate the severity of the sealing problem of the plastic bottle. In addition, under special circumstances, if the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process is an absolute monotonically increasing curve, there are no peaks and troughs, and the fluctuation amplitude characteristic is 0.

[0039] The process for obtaining the fluctuation duration difference feature includes: obtaining the time interval between adjacent peaks and troughs in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process as a fluctuation duration. All peaks and troughs in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process are traversed to obtain multiple fluctuation durations. The difference between any two fluctuation durations, specifically the absolute value of the difference between any two fluctuation durations, is then calculated to obtain a duration difference. All possible fluctuation durations are traversed to obtain multiple duration differences. Finally, the average of all duration differences is calculated as the fluctuation duration difference feature. A smaller fluctuation duration difference feature indicates more consistent fluctuation durations, a more pronounced fluctuation cycle, and a more abnormal pressure change in the plastic bottle. Therefore, the fluctuation duration difference feature can indicate the severity of the sealing problem in the plastic bottle. Furthermore, the maximum fluctuation duration is determined from the obtained fluctuation durations, defined as the maximum fluctuation duration. A smaller maximum fluctuation duration indicates more pronounced pressure fluctuations in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle and a more abnormal pressure change in the plastic bottle.

[0040] Then, according to the pressure fluctuation and delay degree of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process, the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure during the pressurization process is obtained. Specifically: according to the respectively obtained delay degree, fluctuation amplitude characteristic, fluctuation duration difference characteristic and maximum fluctuation duration, the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure is obtained. Among them, the higher the delay degree, the higher the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure; the higher the fluctuation amplitude characteristic, the higher the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure; the smaller the fluctuation duration difference characteristic, the higher the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure; the smaller the maximum fluctuation duration, the more abnormal the plastic bottle pressure change. Therefore, the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure is proportional to the delay degree and the fluctuation amplitude characteristic, and inversely proportional to the fluctuation duration difference characteristic and the maximum fluctuation duration. In an exemplary embodiment, a specific quantitative method for the abnormality degree of the plastic bottle pressure is given as follows: ; in, Indicates the abnormal degree of pressure in the plastic bottle, b indicates the fluctuation amplitude characteristic, Indicates the difference characteristics of fluctuation duration, Indicates the maximum fluctuation duration, Represents an exponential function with the natural constant e as the base. Abnormal degree of pressure in plastic bottles It reflects the abnormal pressure of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process. In order to accurately determine the sealing performance of the plastic bottle, it is necessary to further analyze the pressure changes during the pressure maintenance process of the plastic bottle.

[0041] Step 3: Determine the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process.

[0042] During the pressure-maintaining process, no more gas will be injected into the plastic bottle. Under normal circumstances, the pressure inside the plastic bottle should always remain stable or decrease at an extremely slow rate. However, when there is a sealing problem with the plastic bottle, there will be a certain amount of gas leakage, and the pressure inside the plastic bottle will continue to decrease. The speed of the pressure drop is related to the severity of the sealing problem. The worse the sealing, the greater the leakage, and the faster the pressure drop. Therefore, the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process are obtained, and the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle characterize the pressure drop of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process. It should be understood that if there is gas leakage during the pressure-maintaining stage, it may be that the plastic bottle has poor sealing and begins to leak when inflation stops, or it may be that some tiny holes slowly expand and break through the critical size after a period of time at the beginning of the pressure-maintaining stage, causing gas leakage.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the pressure drop characteristic of the plastic bottle consists of two parts: the pressure drop speed characteristic and the pressure difference between the beginning and end of the pressure holding process. The pressure drop speed characteristic characterizes the speed of the pressure drop of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process. Figure 3 As shown, a specific process for obtaining the pressure drop rate characteristic is provided as follows: Step 3-1: Determine the decreasing rate of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process, and determine the average decreasing rate, the maximum decreasing rate, and the time when the maximum decreasing rate occurs.

[0044] The rate of decrease of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process is obtained. In this embodiment, the slope of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process is obtained. When the plastic bottle has no sealing problem, the pressure values ​​in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process always remain stable or decrease at an extremely slow rate. When the plastic bottle has a sealing problem, the pressure values ​​in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process continue to decrease. Therefore, the slope of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-maintaining process is less than or equal to 0. In this embodiment, the absolute value of the slope of each pressure value is taken as the rate of decrease of each pressure value. Then, the larger the absolute value of the slope of each pressure value, the greater the rate of decrease of each pressure value.

[0045] Calculate the average value of the decrease rate of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process as the average value of the decrease rate of the plastic bottle pressure during the pressure holding process. The larger the average value of the decrease rate, the faster the gas leakage rate in the plastic bottle and the more obvious the pressure decrease rate feature; obtain the maximum value of the decrease rate of each pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process as the maximum decrease rate of the plastic bottle pressure during the pressure holding process. The occurrence of the maximum decrease rate can be understood as the sudden and greater leakage of gas due to the slow expansion of some tiny holes that break through the critical size after a period of time at the beginning of the pressure holding stage. The larger the maximum decrease rate, the faster the gas leakage rate in the plastic bottle and the more obvious the pressure decrease rate feature; obtain the occurrence time of the maximum decrease rate, and then obtain the time interval between the start time of the pressure holding process and the occurrence time of the maximum decrease rate as the occurrence time of the maximum decrease rate. The earlier the occurrence time, that is, the shorter the duration of the occurrence time, the faster the gas leakage rate in the plastic bottle and the more obvious the pressure decrease rate feature.

[0046] Step 3-2: Obtain the pressure drop rate characteristics based on the average drop rate, the maximum drop rate, and the time when the maximum drop rate occurs.

[0047] The pressure drop rate characteristic is obtained based on the average drop rate, the maximum drop rate, and the time when the maximum drop rate occurs. The pressure drop rate characteristic is proportional to the average drop rate and the maximum drop rate, and inversely proportional to the time when the maximum drop rate occurs. In an exemplary embodiment, a specific quantitative method for the pressure drop rate characteristic is given as follows: ; in, Indicates the pressure drop rate characteristics, represents the average value of the descent rate, Indicates the maximum descent rate, Indicates the duration of the maximum rate of decrease.

[0048] At the end of the pressure-holding process, the pressure of the remaining gas in the plastic bottle is related to the gas leakage rate, that is, it is related to the sealing performance of the plastic bottle. When the gas leaks quickly, it may leak out during the pressure-holding process, and the pressure in the plastic bottle drops to the ambient pressure; when the gas leaks slowly or there is no leakage, more gas will remain in the plastic bottle at the end of the pressure-holding process, and the pressure will still be at a high level. Therefore, the pressure difference at the beginning and end of the pressure-holding process is obtained, which is the difference between the two pressure values ​​at the beginning and end of the pressure-holding process. Specifically, the difference between the first pressure value and the last pressure value in the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure-holding process is obtained as the pressure difference at the beginning and end of the pressure-holding process. The smaller the pressure difference at the beginning and end of the pressure-holding process, the less gas leaked during the pressure-holding process, and the better the sealing performance of the plastic bottle. In an exemplary embodiment, in order to facilitate subsequent processing, the pressure difference at the beginning and end of the pressure-holding process is normalized.

[0049] Step 4: Obtain the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle according to the abnormal degree of the plastic bottle pressure and the pressure drop characteristics of the plastic bottle.

[0050] The degree of abnormal pressure in a plastic bottle is an indicator obtained during the pressurization process that can characterize the sealing performance of the plastic bottle. The characteristic of the pressure drop in the plastic bottle is an indicator obtained during the pressure-maintaining process that can characterize the sealing performance of the plastic bottle. Combining these two indicators yields a plastic bottle sealing performance index. The higher the degree of abnormal pressure in the plastic bottle, the worse the sealing performance of the plastic bottle and the lower the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle. The higher the characteristic of the pressure drop in the plastic bottle, the worse the sealing performance of the plastic bottle and the lower the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle. In an exemplary embodiment, a specific method for quantifying the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle is given as follows: ; in, It is the sealing performance index of plastic bottles. It is the normalized pressure difference between the beginning and end of the pressure holding process. The higher the sealing performance index of the plastic bottle, the better the sealing performance of the plastic bottle.

[0051] When using the air pressure method to test the sealing performance of plastic bottles, if only a single plastic bottle is tested, there is a possibility that the sealing ring at the interface between the inflator and the plastic bottle is loose or not properly installed, causing gas to escape from the device connection, or leakage at the pressure sensor connection, and other interferences may lead to misjudgment of the sealing performance of the plastic bottle. In an exemplary embodiment, in order to solve the problem of pressure abnormalities caused by other factors other than the sealing performance of the plastic bottle, which may lead to misjudgment of the sealing performance of the plastic bottle, such as Figure 4 As shown, the plastic bottle sealing detection method provided in this embodiment also includes the following steps: Step 5: Obtain the total pressure change curve of multiple plastic bottles.

[0052] The multiple plastic bottles involved are from the same batch. Bottles from the same batch are typically produced using the same molds, raw materials, and processes, so theoretically, their sealing properties should be consistent. Furthermore, the inflation device needs to be reinstalled each time the bottle is replaced to reduce the impact of occasional leaks caused by loose connections, poor contact with the pressure sensor, and other factors. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the same test on multiple bottles from the same batch, and determine their sealing performance based on the pressure variation characteristics of these bottles.

[0053] The total pressure change curve of each plastic bottle is obtained, and the total pressure change curve is connected in time sequence by the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressurization process and the pressure change curve of the plastic bottle during the pressure holding process.

[0054] Step 6: Determine the similarity between the total pressure change curve of the target plastic bottle and the total pressure change curves of each reference plastic bottle, and obtain the mean similarity value corresponding to the target plastic bottle.

[0055] For ease of explanation, let's assume that the target plastic bottle is the plastic bottle to be tested, i.e., the plastic bottle to be tested is the subject of the sealability test. Let's assume that each plastic bottle other than the target plastic bottle is a reference plastic bottle. The multiple plastic bottles obtained in step 5 include the target plastic bottle and the reference plastic bottles.

[0056] Obtain the similarity between the total pressure change curve of the target plastic bottle and the total pressure change curves of each reference plastic bottle. Since the time to reach the target pressure is not exactly the same for different plastic bottles, and the pressure change amplitude and pressure drop rate during the pressure holding process are not exactly the same, the lengths of the total pressure change curves of different plastic bottles may be different. In order to obtain the similarity, in an exemplary embodiment, for any reference plastic bottle, obtain the DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) distance between the total pressure change curve of the target plastic bottle and the total pressure change curve of the reference plastic bottle, and then perform negative correlation normalization on the DTW distance. The result obtained is the similarity between the total pressure change curve of the target plastic bottle and the total pressure change curve of the reference plastic bottle. The negative correlation normalization method is The similarities between the target bottle's overall pressure curve and the pressure curves of each reference bottle are then calculated. The average of these similarities is used as the mean similarity value for the target bottle. The larger the mean similarity value, the more similar the target bottle's pressure changes are to those of all other bottles.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, in order to ensure that the mean similarity value of the target plastic bottle is more consistent with the actual situation, after obtaining the mean similarity value of the target plastic bottle, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the plastic bottle sealing detection method also includes the following correction process for the similarity mean of the target plastic bottle: Step 6-1: Determine the reference duration difference and total duration difference of the target plastic bottle.

[0058] Determine the reference duration of the target plastic bottle during the pressurization process and the total duration of the target plastic bottle, where the total duration of the target plastic bottle is the duration of the total pressure change curve of the target plastic bottle.

[0059] Obtain the target plastic bottle's reference duration difference. This is the difference between the target plastic bottle's reference duration and the standard reference duration, i.e., the absolute value of the difference. Obtain the target plastic bottle's total duration difference. This is the difference between the target plastic bottle's total duration and the standard total duration, i.e., the absolute value of the difference. The greater the difference between the target plastic bottle's reference duration difference and the total duration difference, the more abnormal the target plastic bottle's pressure fluctuations.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the process of obtaining the standard reference duration and the standard total duration is given below, including: Step 6-1-1: Obtain the key feature vectors of each reference plastic bottle.

[0061] For any reference plastic bottle, the reference duration and total duration of the reference plastic bottle are combined into a two-dimensional array, and the two-dimensional array is used as the key feature vector of the reference plastic bottle. In this way, the key feature vector of each reference plastic bottle is obtained.

[0062] Step 6-1-2: Cluster the reference plastic bottles according to the key feature vectors of each reference plastic bottle to obtain the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles.

[0063] According to the key feature vectors of each reference plastic bottle, the reference plastic bottles are clustered to obtain the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles. In an exemplary embodiment, the Euclidean distance of the key feature vectors of every two reference plastic bottles is obtained, and then the reference plastic bottles are clustered using the K-means clustering algorithm based on the Euclidean distance. The K value in the K-means clustering algorithm can be obtained by the elbow method. K clusters are obtained by the K-means clustering algorithm. Each cluster contains a number of reference plastic bottles, so as to obtain the number of reference plastic bottles contained in each cluster, obtain the cluster containing the largest number of reference plastic bottles, that is, obtain the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles. The cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles can characterize the most common feature of the reference plastic bottles and can be used as a standard. Therefore, each reference plastic bottle in the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles is recorded as a standard reference plastic bottle, and the number of standard reference plastic bottles is determined. The total number of reference plastic bottles is obtained, and the ratio of the number of standard reference plastic bottles to the total number of reference plastic bottles is calculated as the proportion of the number of standard reference plastic bottles, that is, the proportion of the number of reference plastic bottles in the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles.

[0064] Step 6-1-3: The average value of the reference durations of the reference plastic bottles in the cluster is used as the standard reference duration, and the average value of the total durations of the reference plastic bottles in the cluster is used as the standard total duration.

[0065] Calculate the average reference duration of each reference plastic bottle in the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles, that is, calculate the average reference duration of each standard reference plastic bottle, and use it as the standard reference duration. Calculate the average total duration of each reference plastic bottle in the cluster with the largest number of reference plastic bottles, that is, calculate the average total duration of each standard reference plastic bottle, and use it as the standard total duration.

[0066] Step 6-2: Based on the reference time difference and the total time difference of the target plastic bottle, obtain a correction coefficient of the target plastic bottle.

[0067] According to the reference time difference and total time difference of the target plastic bottle, as well as the proportion of the number of standard reference plastic bottles, the correction coefficient of the target plastic bottle is obtained. The correction coefficient is used to make a positive correction to the similarity mean corresponding to the target plastic bottle. Since the smaller the reference time difference and total time difference of the target plastic bottle, the smaller the difference between the pressure change characteristics of the target plastic bottle and the standard pressure change characteristics, the more similar the pressure change characteristics of the target plastic bottle are to all other plastic bottles in the same batch, and the larger the correction coefficient; the proportion of the number of standard reference plastic bottles represents the credibility of the standard reference plastic bottle, the larger the proportion of the number of standard reference plastic bottles, the higher its credibility, and the larger the correction coefficient. Therefore, the correction coefficient is proportional to the proportion of the number of standard reference plastic bottles, and inversely proportional to the reference time difference and the total time difference. In an exemplary embodiment, a specific quantitative method for the correction coefficient of the target plastic bottle is given as follows: ; in, represents the correction factor, Indicates the proportion of standard reference plastic bottles, Indicates the reference duration difference, Indicates the total duration difference.

[0068] Finally, the obtained correction coefficient is multiplied by the mean similarity value corresponding to the target plastic bottle, and the result obtained is the corrected mean similarity value of the target plastic bottle.

[0069] Step 7: The plastic bottle sealing performance index and the similarity mean of the target plastic bottle are integrated to obtain the final plastic bottle sealing performance index of the target plastic bottle.

[0070] The product of the target plastic bottle's sealing performance index and the corrected similarity mean is calculated to obtain the final plastic bottle sealing performance index of the target plastic bottle. A higher final plastic bottle sealing performance index value indicates better sealing performance of the target plastic bottle, while a lower final plastic bottle sealing performance index value indicates worse sealing performance of the target plastic bottle.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, a threshold is preset to determine whether the target plastic bottle's sealing performance meets the requirements. This threshold ranges from 0 to 1, with the specific value set based on actual judgment needs. The more stringent the judgment, the higher the threshold can be set. This embodiment uses 0.8 as an example. If the target plastic bottle's final sealing performance index is greater than or equal to 0.8, the target plastic bottle's sealing performance meets the requirements. Otherwise, the target plastic bottle's sealing performance fails.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment also provides a plastic bottle sealing detection device, including: a computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-mentioned plastic bottle sealing detection method embodiment.
