Attached Figure Description
[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a control system for an automatic ceramic glazing machine includes a glazing data collection module, a weighing module, a weight verification module, a finished product sample collection module, a finished product image capture module, a finished product effect comparison module, and a defective product early warning module; wherein, the various modules are connected to each other via electrical and / or wireless network means.
[0029] The glazing data collection module is mainly used to collect basic data for each type of ceramic cup in advance.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the glazing data collection module pre-collects all types of ceramic cups that require glazing; the basic data for each type of ceramic cup includes the area to be glazed, the average thickness of the glaze, and the density of the glaze material required for each type of ceramic cup, collected in advance based on actual experience; all ceramic cup types are labeled C; each type of ceramic cup is labeled c; the glazing area of ceramic cup c is labeled Sc, the average glaze thickness is labeled Tc, and the glaze density is labeled Vc; the glazing data collection module sends the collected basic data of the ceramic cups to the weight verification module;
[0031] The weighing module is mainly used to weigh each ceramic cup before and after the automatic glazing machine glazes the ceramic cups.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the weighing module includes a first weighing device and a second weighing device installed on an automatic glazing machine; before glazing, the ceramic cups are weighed by the first weighing device; after glazing, the glazed ceramic cups are weighed by the second weighing device; each ceramic cup is marked as i; the weight of the ceramic cup measured by the first weighing device is marked as Wi1, and the weight of the ceramic cup measured by the second weighing device is marked as Wi2; the weighing module sends the weights Wi1 and Wi2 to the weight verification module;
[0033] It is understandable that during the automatic glazing process of ceramic cups, errors may occur due to insufficient glaze or machine malfunctions. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the glazed products. Considering that when glazing errors occur, the weight of the glaze adhering to the ceramic cup will also deviate, monitoring the weight of the ceramic cup can indirectly determine whether the glazing has failed.
[0034] The weight verification module is mainly used to determine whether the glazing of the ceramic cup has failed based on the weight change of the ceramic cup before and after glazing.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the weight verification module determines whether the glazing of the ceramic cup has failed by including the following steps:
[0036] Step S1: The weight verification module obtains the corresponding glazed area Sc, average glaze thickness Tc, and glaze density Vc of the ceramic cup i according to its type c.
[0037] Step S2: Calculate the theoretical weight increase Wti after glazing the ceramic cup i; the formula for calculating Wti is Wti=Sc*Tc*Vc;
[0038] Step S3: Calculate the actual weight increase Wri after glazing the ceramic cup i; the formula for calculating Wri is Wri = Wi2 - Wi1;
[0039] Step S4: The weight verification module pre-sets a weight difference ratio threshold p based on actual experience; calculates the weight difference ratio Wo between the actual increase in weight of the ceramic cup and the theoretical increase in weight; the formula for calculating Wo is... If Wo is greater than the weight difference ratio threshold p, it indicates that the ceramic cup glazing has failed, and the weight verification module sends a weight warning signal to the defective product warning module.
[0040] Understandably, judging the glazing result of the ceramic cup by the weight verification module is an indirect method, mainly serving as a preliminary inspection of the glazed ceramic cup; if further inspection is required, color identification of the glazed ceramic cup is also necessary.
[0041] The finished product sample collection module is mainly used to collect qualified finished product samples of each category of ceramic cups in advance.
[0042] It is understandable that when ceramic cups are photographed from the same angle and the resulting images are the same size, pixels at the same location in images of the same type of ceramic cup will correspond to the same location on the ceramic cup. Therefore, the pixel value at the same pixel in an image of a qualified ceramic cup should be similar to the corresponding pixel value in a ceramic cup sample. To reduce identification errors, the average value of each pixel in multiple qualified finished product samples is selected as the comparison benchmark.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the finished product sample collection module pre-collects a number of qualified finished products selected from the finished ceramic cups of each category c; and acquires images of the same size for each ceramic cup from the same preset angle; the finished product sample collection module calculates the average value of each pixel of all images of ceramic cups of each category c; the finished product sample collection module marks the average pixel value of each pixel of the qualified ceramic cup images of each category c as Pcj; where j is each pixel; the finished product sample collection module sends the average pixel value Pcj of each qualified ceramic cup image of each category c to the finished product effect comparison module; and marks the number of all pixels of ceramic cups of each category c as J;
[0044] The finished product image capture module is mainly used to acquire an image of the ceramic cup from a preset angle after the ceramic cup has been glazed.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the finished product image capture module includes an image capture device fixedly installed in the automatic glazing machine; after the ceramic cups are automatically glazed and their weight is verified by the weight verification module and meets the standard, the image capture device captures image data of each ceramic cup from a preset angle; the finished product image capture module sends the captured image data of each ceramic cup to the finished product effect comparison module;
[0046] The finished product effect comparison module is mainly used to compare the pixel values of the finished ceramic cup sample with the pixel values of the actual produced ceramic cup to determine whether the ceramic cup is qualified.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the finished product effect comparison module labels the pixel value of each pixel in the ceramic cup i image captured by the finished product image capture module as Pij; calculates the similarity Si between the actual ceramic cup image and the finished product sample image; the similarity Si is calculated as follows: The finished product effect comparison module is pre-set with a similarity threshold M based on actual experience. When the similarity Si value is greater than the similarity threshold M, a color warning signal is sent to the defective product warning module.
[0048] The defective product early warning module is mainly used to notify staff to conduct a re-inspection and readjust the glaze in the automatic glazing machine after receiving an early warning signal.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the defective product warning module can notify staff via voice reminder or SMS reminder.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of the present invention.
