Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shoe upper monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a method and equipment for quantity statistics and quality testing of warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers. Background Technology
[0002] Shoes are necessities in people's daily lives. With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, shoe-making equipment has also made leaps and bounds. However, the existing shoe-making process is still very complex, and the degree of automation is very low. A single shoe requires dozens of processes and hundreds of workers. These manual production procedures directly affect production efficiency, most notably in the quantity counting and quality inspection procedures for warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers. For example, in the ordinary shoe upper inspection process, workers need to count the quantity and measure the size of the shoe uppers. Currently, this process is entirely done manually. This traditional manual inspection method results in slow speed, human visual errors, and high costs. For warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers, because they are knitted products, the quantity counting and quality inspection are even more complex than for ordinary leather uppers.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to provide methods for quantity statistics and quality inspection, primarily for warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers, in order to improve the automation level and work efficiency of the existing shoe upper manufacturing industry.

[0026] Using real-time knitted materials as the object, the deformation data of the warp-knitted jacquard shoe upper in different directions during circumferential stretching were extracted by measuring the maximum deformation of the warp-knitted jacquard shoe upper.
[0027] The range of the three-dimensional parameters of the finite element model is determined by using the material influence weights and the deformation data, thereby completing the correction of the range of the three-dimensional parameters of the finite element model.

Attached Figure Description
[0039] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.
[0040] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0042] Warp-knitted jacquard upper technology is a solution specifically designed to address the inherent trade-off between the strength and lightweight properties of shoe uppers. It leverages big data technology to apply the most suitable characteristics to each knitting thread. In practical applications, manufacturers have high requirements for the physical properties of the fabric, demanding high tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, and folding resistance. However, due to the nature of chemical fiber raw materials, the tensile strength, tear strength, Martindale abrasion resistance, and folding resistance of mesh fabrics become unstable after dyeing and finishing processes, making it impossible to guarantee that they meet the brand's physical property requirements, creating high hidden risks for enterprises. This also causes significant confusion for dyeing and finishing plants. Warp-knitted fabrics of the same variety, on the same machine, and with the same process data can exhibit different physical property indicators after high-temperature, high-pressure dyeing, pre-setting, and re-setting processes. Even yarns of the same specifications from the same manufacturer may not meet requirements if they are from different batches. Therefore, current technology involves using raw yarns for trial production, continuously developing small-scale production by selecting similar yarns of different specifications or from different manufacturers, using the same process or equipment, and repeatedly testing after dyeing and finishing to select the optimal solution.
[0043] Example 1:
[0044] This embodiment 1 discloses a method for quantity counting and quality inspection of warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers, including:
[0045] Video monitoring was collected at the finishing station of warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers on the shoe manufacturing production line.
[0046] Based on target detection technology and video processing technology, warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers in monitoring videos are identified and digitally marked;

[0050] The three-dimensional parameters are matched and determined with the range of three-dimensional parameters of the corrected finite element model.
[0051] Update the content of the numeric markers based on the matching results.
[0052] Specifically:
[0053] Based on target detection technology and video processing technology, the warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers in the monitoring video are identified and digitally labeled, specifically including:

[0055] The monitoring video is processed into frames to obtain frame images; the frame images of a continuous fixed time period are used as input to the target detection network, and the output is the recognition result of the warp-knitted jacquard shoe upper.
[0056] Calculate the influence weights of shoe surface curvature and light intensity on the pixels of the monitoring video; and use the influence weights to optimize the recognition results.
[0057] The optimized recognition results are sorted according to monitoring time, and the sorting order is marked with numbers to obtain the content of the numerical markings;
[0058] The numerical markers include: monitoring time, the number of the warp-knitted jacquard upper, its category information and ranking within that category, and whether any defects exist. For example, in this embodiment, monitoring the warp-knitted upper production line from 8:00 to 8:15 on a certain day yielded 274 entries, including 102 pink tri-twill and 172 blue plaid. On the manufacturer's backend monitoring monitor, each warp-knitted jacquard upper flowing through the shoe production line had a marker box displayed in real time above and behind the upper on the page. Within the marker box, the monitoring time, upper fabric type and its ranking within the fabric category, product category of the upper and its ranking within that category, upper color and its ranking within the color category, and information on whether defects exist and their severity are displayed.
[0059] In addition, this embodiment also includes determining the statistical results based on the photoelectric effect;
[0060] The photoelectric effect is used to detect whether warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers are passing through the production line, and a trigger count is performed based on the detection results; in this embodiment, a photoelectric detector is used to detect whether warp-knitted jacquard shoe uppers are passing through the production line.
[0061] The trigger count result is compared with the digital tag result to obtain the judgment digital tag result. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the judgment of the quantity statistics result based on the photoelectric effect is not continuous, but rather determined according to the needs of the actual application; for example, sampling activation, where the photodetector is activated during a selected time period for mutual verification between the dual quantity statistics method and the quantity statistics method based on monitoring images. This further improves the intelligence level, work efficiency, and accuracy of warp-knitted shoe upper processing.

[0067] Preferably, the target detection network structure is as follows:
[0068] Input layer - first convolutional layer - feature extraction layer - fully connected layer - second convolutional layer - feature extraction layer - fusion layer - output layer.
