Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of printing and dyeing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a method, system, medium, and computer for controlling a dripping machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the fabric dyeing process, the dyeing factory's laboratory first needs to analyze the color of the sample fabric provided by the customer, and then calculate several pre-mixed formulas required to dye the sample fabric the desired color. Finally, through a series of operations such as sampling and color correction, the optimal formula is determined and handed over to the production department for production. With the increasing variety of dyes and chemicals, the brands of dripping machines used in existing dyeing factories are also constantly increasing. During the sampling process, the need to use different brands of dripping machines and their control software presents the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) The control software of different brands of dripping machines cannot communicate with each other, the hardware and software are severely coupled, the operation methods are also very different, and the learning cost is high; the data storage formats of different brands of dripping machine systems are very different, which makes it impossible to achieve data sharing and creates data silos, making it difficult to manage and reuse formula data in a unified manner.

[0004] (2) Samplers can only enter the pre-mixed formula one by one in the dispensing machine system, which is inefficient and has a high probability of color matching errors.

[0005] (3) Due to the limited amount of dyes and chemicals in the dripping machine, a formula needs to be split into different dripping machines for dripping. This requires manual memorization and retrieval of the storage location of the dyes and chemicals in different dripping machines, and then manual splitting of the formula and inputting it into the control software of different brands of dripping machines for dripping. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors.

[0006] (4) The factory collects the formulas manually by color card book and archives the formula information and sample cloth on paper. The workload is large, and manual data collection is prone to errors. At the same time, as the data increases, it is troublesome to find the historical drop formulas. Summary of the Invention

[0039] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0040] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" a second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of a second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" of a second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," "above," "below," and similar expressions are for illustrative purposes only and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] This invention provides a method for controlling a dripping machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0044] S1. Obtain the specification information of the dripping machine, and normalize the specification information of different models of dripping machines according to the actual meaning represented by the specification information, and bind the normalized dripping machine to the cloud control server.

[0045] S2. Calculate the color mixing range for each dripping machine based on its specifications.

[0046] S3. Obtain the dyeing standard sample, perform spectral analysis on the dyeing standard sample, obtain the first spectral data of the dyeing standard sample, compare the first spectral data with the color mixing range of the dispensing machine, and determine whether the color of the dyeing standard sample can be mixed by a single dispensing machine.

[0047] S4. If so, the color matching task will be sent to the dripping machine to perform formula prediction and dripping color matching, and the process formula obtained corresponding to the dripping color matching will be sent to the cloud server for storage.

[0048] S5. If not, the color matching task is split into multiple color matching tasks. These multiple color matching tasks are then sent to multiple dispensing machines for formula prediction and dispensing color matching, respectively. All process formulas obtained from the dispensing color matching of the multiple dispensing machines are sent to the cloud server for merging and storage.

[0049] In practical applications, existing dyeing and printing manufacturers often need to install multiple brands or models of dispensing machines within their factories to reduce reliance on a particular brand or to expand their business scope. Since these dispensing machines differ in control logic, signal transmission, and naming conventions, their specifications need to be rewritten in a standardized format. The control methods for these machines then need to be integrated into a unified cloud platform, enabling control and operation via a cloud server. When a dispensing color matching task is received, the standard sample is first analyzed. Then, using existing databases or the operator's experience, the color corresponding to the standard sample is divided into several different "pre-formulas." These pre-formulas are then distributed to different dispensing machines via the cloud server for dispensing experiments, yielding multiple sample results. Finally, the sample results are compared with the dyeing standard sample to determine the sample whose color is closest to the standard sample, which is then selected as the final choice. This patent first abstracts and unifies the different brands of drip machines, enabling unified management of drip machines of different brands and models. This effectively solves the problem of information silos between existing drip machines of different brands, reduces the learning cost for operators, and improves the operating efficiency of staff.

[0050] Furthermore, the specifications of the drip collection machine include: device name, device brand, device model, communication method, IP address, device status, mother liquor bottle number, dye / chemical code, mother liquor concentration, and specific gravity; the normalization process includes:

[0051] S11. Abstract the equipment name, brand, model, communication method, IP address, and status of different drip machines into a drip machine model;

[0052] S12. The mother liquor bottle number, dye code, mother liquor concentration and specific gravity information are renumbered according to a predetermined rule, and the renumbered information is stored in the cloud server.

[0053] In practical applications, the dispensing machine is abstractly modeled, mainly including information such as device name, brand, model, communication method, IP address, status, and mother liquor information, eliminating differences between different physical devices. This transforms the dispensing machine into an abstract online device. Since the signals generated or received by the dispensing machine are unique to it—for example, the coding for the color of some mother liquors differs between brand A and brand B—and the unit quantity of liquid dispensed varies between different machines during the color mixing process, these differences need to be eliminated by abstracting and unifying the different dispensing machines. This allows users to control different machines to perform the same operation using a specific set of rules. Specifically, the device name, brand, model, communication method, IP address, and status of different dispensing machines are all abstracted into a dispensing machine model. In other words, a single dispensing machine model replaces a specific dispensing machine device. Users only need to distinguish between dispensing machines in the management system, without needing to determine the specific name, model, brand, IP address, etc. As for the specific information about the dripping process in the dripping machine, the operator needs to understand it. This means that this relevant information needs to be standardized and a unified interaction protocol needs to be generated. Then, based on the unified interaction protocol, the operator can manage dripping machines of different brands in a unified manner through the cloud server system.

[0054] Furthermore, this application also provides a specific predetermined rule: A process formula library is constructed to uniformly collect process formulas completed by different models of dripping machines. Based on attribute fields with common meanings for different models of dripping machines, a unified process formula data structure is defined, mainly including information such as color number, dripping code, dripping version, fabric weight, liquor ratio, standard liquid dripping weight, dye code, dye name, and dye concentration, thereby adapting and summarizing formula data from different models of dripping machines. A unified rule is defined for the dripping code in the dripping machine, consisting of a color code + serial number + initials of the sampler's name. Simultaneously, different formulas using the same formula modification and dye / chemical concentration conversion are distinguished by the dripping version, thereby automatically identifying the color code information during process formula collection for association with actual sample fabrics in the factory.

[0055] Optionally, an edge computing layer is established, which is communicatively connected to a cloud server and also communicatively connected to a dripping machine. The edge computing layer is used to receive the process recipe generated by the dripping machine, convert the data information contained in the process recipe according to the predetermined rules, and send the converted process recipe to the cloud server.

[0056] In practical applications, bidirectional communication is achieved between the cloud server and the industrial control computer service, as well as between the industrial control computer service and the dripping control software. This enables the cloud server to control the dripping machine's data files and collect formula data, thereby achieving unified management of formula data on the cloud server and realizing unified cloud-based data management. Using an edge computing layer to manage the dripping machine improves its computing power while avoiding problems such as delayed control or data loss caused by network latency.

[0057] Optionally, during the dispensing color mixing process, the edge computing layer reads the formula data generated by the dispensing machine that is connected to the edge computing layer at predetermined intervals; the edge computing layer also uploads the formula data of the dispensing machine to the cloud server, and the cloud server merges and stores the formula data from the same dispensing machine.

[0058] Furthermore, this application establishes a middleware platform, GEMI, between the cloud server and the edge computing layer to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted between the edge computing layer and the cloud server. In this embodiment, the unified process and interaction protocol for distributing color formulas to the dispensing machine first encrypts the protocol content on the cloud server, generates a msgId, and transmits it to the edge control unit via the GEMI platform. The edge control unit uses the msgId to request the cloud server to query the encrypted protocol content, decrypts the data, identifies the specific dispensing machine, writes the color formula into the dispensing machine database, and simultaneously returns an ACK to the cloud server to update the color formula distribution status. The cloud server is actually a microservice with a B / S architecture, supporting multiple users to simultaneously operate online and write formulas into the dispensing machine database, thus solving the problem of low utilization of dispensing machine equipment.

[0059] Furthermore, it also includes: dyeing the sample fabric using the process formula, and performing spectral detection and analysis on the dyed sample fabric to obtain the second spectral data corresponding to the process formula; and sending the spectral data to a cloud server for storage.

[0060] In practical applications, when using samples for prototyping, multiple sample formulations need to be pre-allocated and distributed to different dispensing machines for prototyping. Regardless of whether the sample meets people's needs or whether the difference between it and the first spectral data is small, the sample data must be stored in the formulation library of the cloud server so that the cloud server's formulation library can be gradually enriched. The sampler uses a colorimeter to measure the spectral data of the actual colored cloth for each process formulation through the cloud server. Then, the big data algorithm of the cloud server can use the data in these process formulation libraries to recommend more accurate pre-formulation formulations for the factory for new standard colored cloth samples. The process formulations of the new dispensing completed process continue to be collected and added to the process formulation library, thus achieving a virtuous cycle. This solves the problems of difficult collection of process formulations and long time consumption from sample pre-formulation to production formulation, helping the factory reduce costs and increase efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, it also includes: comparing the first spectral data and the second spectral data to determine whether the difference between them is greater than the spectral difference threshold. If so, the formula prediction is redone, and the new formula is used to redo the droplet color adjustment. Specifically, during the droplet color adjustment process, color-adjusted samples can be made one by one to avoid excessive sampling costs due to too many experimental samples. Therefore, after each sample is made, it is compared with the sample. When the difference between the sampled product and the dyed standard sample is large enough, it is necessary to redo the color adjustment and make a new sample.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a dripping machine control system, comprising:

[0063] Specification information acquisition module: used to acquire the specification information of the dripping machine;

[0064] Information normalization module: used to normalize the specification information of different models of dripping machines according to the actual meaning represented by the specification information;

[0070] Data transmission module: used to read the formula data generated by the dispensing machine at predetermined intervals during the dispensing color mixing process; and upload the formula data to the cloud server;
