Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of papermaking technology, and more specifically, to a control method and a control device for a paper cutting and sealing system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in related technologies, the processes of paper feeding, counting, and sorting in paper cutting and sealing systems all require manual operation, making it impossible to achieve a fully integrated production process. This results in untimely quality information management, an inability to trace and accurately locate the target paper's production information, and a lack of production information verification procedures, leading to high digital security risks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the first aspect of this application proposes a control method for a paper cutting and sealing system.

[0005] The second aspect of this application provides a control device for a paper cutting and sealing system.

[0006] The third aspect of this application proposes a control device for a paper cutting and sealing system.

[0007] The fourth aspect of this application proposes a readable storage medium.

[0008] In view of this, the first aspect of this application provides a control method for a paper cutting and sealing system. The paper cutting and sealing system provided by this application includes: a paper conveying mechanism, a paper feeding mechanism, a cutter detection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a belt conveyor detection mechanism. The paper conveying mechanism is used to transport initial paper products. The control method includes: acquiring first expected paper information of the initial paper products; controlling the paper feeding mechanism to divide the initial paper products into multiple groups, each group including P paper layers, the first expected paper information including the paper information of the first sheet of any group; controlling the paper feeding mechanism to acquire the paper information of the first paper layer in any group to obtain first paper information; and verifying the first paper information and the... The system generates the following: 1. Expected paper information; 2. Based on the matching of the first paper information and the first expected paper information, the system controls the paper feeding mechanism to operate; 3. When the group is located at the cutting mechanism, the system controls the tool detection mechanism to identify the paper information of the first paper layer of any group; 4. Obtain second paper information; 5. Obtain the position parameters of the group based on the second paper information; 6. Based on the position parameters being within a set range, the system controls the cutting mechanism to cut the group into multiple first paper groups; 7. The system controls the cutting mechanism to divide the first paper groups into multiple single-layer papers; 8. Obtain second expected paper information based on the paper information in the single-layer papers; 9. Control the sorting mechanism to send the second expected paper information to the belt detection mechanism, which is used to identify the second expected paper information.

[0009] In this technical solution, the paper cutting and sealing system is used in paper production equipment. The paper cutting and sealing system includes: a paper conveying mechanism, a paper loading mechanism, a cutter detection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a sorting mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a belt-bundling detection mechanism. The paper conveying mechanism is used to transport the initial paper product. Specifically, the initial paper product can be 10,000 sheets of paper. After cutting each sheet of paper, multiple single-layer sheets can be obtained. For example, each sheet of paper includes 5×7 single-layer sheets, which can be banknotes or banknotes.

[0010] The first expected paper information of the initial paper sample is obtained. This first expected paper information is the paper information expected to appear in the subsequent verification process of the paper loading mechanism. By verifying the specified paper information with the first expected paper information, it can be determined whether the process is operating normally. The paper loading mechanism divides the initial paper sample into multiple groups, each group comprising P paper layers. Each group comprises 100 paper layers. The first expected paper information includes the paper information of the first sheet of any group. For example, the first expected paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the specified expected paper layer.

[0011] The initial paper products are automatically transferred to the paper loading mechanism in the automated cutting production line via AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles). The paper loading mechanism includes an automatic paper loading and counting module, which consists of an image acquisition system, a back-end industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touchscreen. This module can identify and verify paper information, and is involved in adding and managing production runs, modeling, and managing historical records. The paper loading mechanism uses a paper vibrator and an initial paper counting machine to sort and automatically count the initial paper products.

[0012] Based on the grouping reaching a designated position, the paper feeding mechanism acquires the paper information of the first sheet layer in any group. Specifically, the automatic paper feeding module acquires images of the groups and performs preprocessing on the acquired images, including template matching, ROI (region of interest) extraction, enhancement, and noise reduction. The ROI image is sent to a software system, such as PaddlePaddle, which uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to identify the serial numbers and obtain the first paper information. The first paper information is the paper information of the topmost sheet layer of the group in the paper feeding mechanism. For example, the first paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the first sheet layer of the group obtained by the paper feeding mechanism through serial number recognition.

[0013] The paper feeding mechanism verifies the first sheet information and the first expected sheet information. If the first sheet information and the first expected sheet information match, the grouping on the paper feeding mechanism is considered valid, a verification normal signal is output, and the paper feeding mechanism is controlled to operate. If the number recognition result verified by the software system via OCR does not match (for example, if the software system is Paddle), the number recognition will be performed again via OCR (for example, if the software system is HALCON), and the recognition result will be verified. If the verification is valid, a verification normal signal is output, the paper feeding mechanism is controlled to operate, and the valid grouping is transported to the cutting mechanism; if the verification fails, an abnormal verification signal is output, and the cause of the abnormality is manually investigated. The paper feeding mechanism ensures the correctness of the grouping on the paper feeding mechanism by verifying the first sheet information.

[0014] Given that the paper groups are located within the cutting mechanism and the pressure plate of the cutting mechanism is pressed down to a designated position, the tool detection mechanism identifies the paper information of the first sheet layer of any group. Specifically, the tool detection mechanism acquires images of the groups and performs preprocessing such as template matching, ROI extraction, enhancement, and noise reduction on the acquired images. The ROI images are then fed to the software system for OCR number recognition to obtain the second paper information. The second paper information is the paper information of the topmost sheet layer of the group within the cutting mechanism. For example, the second paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the first sheet layer of the group, obtained by the tool detection mechanism through number recognition.

[0015] The position parameters of the group are obtained based on the second paper information. The cutting tool detection mechanism obtains the position parameters of the group. If the position parameters are within the set range, the group is positioned correctly. The cutting mechanism cuts the group into multiple first paper groups, and the cutting mechanism cuts each paper layer into multiple single-layer papers. For example, the first paper group is 100 cut single banknotes or bills, and the cutting mechanism cuts the 100 paper layers into 35 first paper groups.

[0016] The cutting mechanism divides the first paper group into multiple single-layer papers. The cut first paper group consists of multiple stacked single-layer papers. The cutting mechanism uses a robotic arm to lay the stacked single-layer papers flat on the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism. For example, the conveying mechanism can be a conveyor belt, which transports the papers. Second expected paper information is obtained based on the paper information in the single-layer papers. This second expected paper information is the paper information of the target paper that has passed the sorting process. The sorting mechanism sends the second expected paper information to the belt-bundling detection mechanism. This second expected paper information is the paper information expected to appear in the subsequent belt-bundling detection process. For example, the second expected paper information is the single banknote number or denomination number expected to appear in the subsequent belt-bundling detection process.

[0017] The sorting mechanism is controlled to send the second expected paper information to the strapping detection mechanism, which is used to identify the second expected paper information.

[0018] In this way, the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system reduces manual operation. Through the integrated production line, it integrates production processes such as paper feeding, counting, cutting, sorting, and bundling, and builds a complete information system. This solves the problems of quality information management and production information traceability, realizes the accurate positioning of target paper and the traceability of production information throughout the process, and reduces digital security risks based on the verification of paper information.

[0019] The second aspect of this application provides a control device for a paper cutting and sealing system. The paper cutting and sealing system includes: a paper conveying mechanism, a paper feeding mechanism, a blade detection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a belt detection mechanism. The paper conveying mechanism is used to transport raw paper products. The control device for the paper cutting and sealing system includes: an acquisition module for acquiring first expected paper information of the raw paper products; a control module for controlling the paper feeding mechanism to divide the raw paper products into multiple groups, each group including P paper layers, the first expected paper information including the paper information of the first sheet of any group; controlling the paper feeding mechanism to acquire the paper information of the first paper layer in any group to obtain first paper information; a verification module for verifying the first paper information and the first expected paper information; the control module also includes... Based on the matching of first paper information and first expected paper information, the control module controls the operation of the paper feeding mechanism; based on the group being located in the cutting mechanism, the control module controls the cutter detection mechanism to identify the paper information of the first paper layer of any group; the acquisition module is also used to acquire second paper information; the acquisition module is also used to acquire the position parameters of the group according to the second paper information; the acquisition module is also used to control the cutting mechanism to cut the group into multiple first paper groups based on the position parameters within a set range; control the cutting mechanism to divide the first paper groups into multiple single-layer papers; acquire second expected paper information according to the paper information in the single-layer papers; the control module is also used to control the sorting mechanism to send the second expected paper information to the belt detection mechanism, which is used to identify the second expected paper information.

In order to more clearly describe the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system proposed in this invention, the following method uses the control device of the paper cutting and sealing system as the execution subject of the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system for illustrative purposes.

[0039] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a control method for a paper cutting and sealing system, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application includes: a paper conveying mechanism, a paper feeding mechanism, a blade detection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a belt detection mechanism. The paper conveying mechanism is used to transport the initial paper product. The control method includes:

[0040] Step 102: Obtain the first expected paper information of the initial paper sample;

[0041] Step 104: Control the paper feeding mechanism to divide the initial paper into multiple groups. Each group includes P paper layers. The first expected paper information includes the paper information of the first sheet of any group.

[0045] Step 112: Based on the fact that the group is located in the cutting mechanism, control the tool detection mechanism to identify the paper information of the first paper layer of any group;

[0049] Step 120: Control the cutting mechanism to divide the first paper group into multiple single-layer papers;

[0050] Step 122: Obtain the second expected paper information based on the paper information in the single layer of paper;

[0051] Step 124: The sorting mechanism sends the second expected paper information to the belt detection mechanism, which is used to identify the second expected paper information.

[0052] In this embodiment, the paper cutting and sealing system is used in paper production equipment. The paper cutting and sealing system includes: a paper conveying mechanism, a paper loading mechanism, a blade detection mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a sorting mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a belt detection mechanism. The paper conveying mechanism is used to transport the initial paper product. Specifically, the initial paper product can be 10,000 sheets of paper. After cutting each sheet of paper, multiple single-layer sheets can be obtained. For example, each sheet of paper includes 5×7 single-layer sheets, which can be banknotes or banknotes.

[0053] The first expected paper information of the initial paper sample is obtained. This first expected paper information is the paper information expected to appear in the subsequent verification process of the paper feeding mechanism. By verifying the specified paper information with the first expected paper information, it can be determined whether the process is operating normally. The paper feeding mechanism divides the initial paper sample into multiple groups, each group comprising P paper layers. For example, P can be 100, and each group comprises 100 paper layers. The first expected paper information includes the paper information of the first sheet of any group. For example, the first expected paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the specified expected paper layer.

[0054] The initial paper product is automatically transferred to the paper loading mechanism in the automated cutting production line via AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle). The paper loading mechanism includes an automatic paper loading and sorting module, which consists of an image acquisition system, a back-end industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touchscreen. This module can identify and verify paper information, and is involved in adding and managing production runs, modeling, and managing historical records. Figure 4 As shown, the paper feeding mechanism sorts and automatically counts the initial paper products through a paper vibrator and a paper initial product counter.

[0055] Based on the grouping reaching a designated position, the paper feeding mechanism acquires the paper information of the first sheet layer in any group. Specifically, the automatic paper feeding module acquires images of the groups and performs preprocessing on the acquired images, including template matching, ROI (region of interest) extraction, enhancement, and noise reduction. The ROI image is sent to a software system, such as PaddlePaddle, which uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to identify the serial numbers and obtain the first paper information. The first paper information is the paper information of the topmost sheet layer of the group in the paper feeding mechanism. For example, the first paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the first sheet layer of the group obtained by the paper feeding mechanism through serial number recognition.

[0056] The paper feeding mechanism verifies the first sheet information and the first expected sheet information. If the first sheet information and the first expected sheet information match, the grouping on the paper feeding mechanism is considered valid, a verification normal signal is output, and the paper feeding mechanism is controlled to operate. If the number recognition result verified by the software system via OCR does not match (for example, if the software system is Paddle), the number recognition will be performed again via OCR (for example, if the software system is HALCON), and the recognition result will be verified. If the verification is valid, a verification normal signal is output, the paper feeding mechanism is controlled to operate, and the valid grouping is transported to the cutting mechanism; if the verification fails, an abnormal verification signal is output, and the cause of the abnormality is manually investigated. The paper feeding mechanism ensures the correctness of the grouping on the paper feeding mechanism by verifying the first sheet information.

[0057] Each time the paper feeding mechanism passes the verification, the current grouping count is recorded. In the next verification, the count is incremented by 1 based on the previous grouping count.

[0058] The cutting tool inspection mechanism is located at the cutting blade of the cutting mechanism. It consists of an image acquisition system, a background industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touch screen. It can perform paper information identification and verification, tilt detection, side gauge detection, and manage new and managed batches of paper, modeling, and historical record management for any group of paper in the cutting mechanism. Through PLC control, the cutting tool inspection mechanism and the cutting device exchange signals.

[0059] Given that the paper groups are located within the cutting mechanism and the pressure plate of the cutting mechanism is pressed down to a designated position, the tool detection mechanism identifies the paper information of the first sheet layer of any group. Specifically, the tool detection mechanism acquires images of the groups and performs preprocessing such as template matching, ROI extraction, enhancement, and noise reduction on the acquired images. The ROI images are then fed to the software system for OCR number recognition to obtain the second paper information. The second paper information is the paper information of the topmost sheet layer of the group within the cutting mechanism. For example, the second paper information is the 35 banknote or denomination serial numbers included in the first sheet layer of the group, obtained by the tool detection mechanism through number recognition.

[0060] The position parameters of the group are obtained based on the second paper information. The cutting tool detection mechanism obtains the position parameters of the group. If the position parameters are within the set range, the group is positioned correctly. The cutting mechanism cuts the group into multiple first paper groups, and the cutting mechanism cuts each paper layer into multiple single-layer papers. For example, the first paper group is 100 cut single banknotes or bills, and the cutting mechanism cuts the 100 paper layers into 35 first paper groups.

[0061] Each time the cutting tool inspection mechanism passes the verification, the current number of cuts is recorded. When the next verification is required, the number of cuts is incremented by 1 based on the previous number of cuts.

[0062] In the event of paper layer replacement or replenishment, the paper feeding mechanism obtains relevant information about the replaced or replenished paper layer. For example, this information includes the original number, original smaller number, replenishment ticket number, and replenishment ticket number difference for the relevant paper layer. The system searches for the corresponding record in the database table based on the original number and original smaller number, replaces the original paper information of that paper layer with the replenishment ticket number and replenishment ticket number difference, and records the corresponding information of the original number and replenishment ticket number in the replenishment ticket table. The cutter detection system obtains the corresponding information in the database based on the number of groupings performed by the paper feeding mechanism, verifies the identified paper information against the corresponding information, and passes if they match, otherwise fails.

[0063] The cutting mechanism divides the first paper group into multiple single-layer papers. The cut first paper group is in the state of multiple single-layer papers stacked together. The cutting mechanism uses a robotic arm to lay the stacked single-layer papers flat on the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism. For example, the conveying mechanism can be a conveyor belt, which can transport the papers.

[0064] The second expected paper information is obtained based on the paper information in the single layer of paper. This second expected paper information is the paper information of the target paper that has passed the sorting process. The sorting mechanism sends the second expected paper information to the strapping detection mechanism. This second expected paper information is the paper information expected to appear in the subsequent strapping detection process. For example, the second expected paper information is the single banknote number or banknote number expected to appear in the subsequent strapping detection process.

[0065] The sorting mechanism is controlled to send the second expected paper information to the strapping detection mechanism, which is used to identify the second expected paper information.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the system employs AI (Artificial Intelligence) based intelligent analysis technology. Through real-time hot backup of edge acquisition and centralized computing, various OCR recognition methods, and intelligent detection accuracy, it achieves stable and efficient operation of the integrated process. The system framework of gRPC (Remote Procedure Calls) allows for file sharing between the server and client; for example, files can be in proto format, effectively reducing load and improving serialization speed. The computing station utilizes multi-site backup with GPUs (graphics processing units), providing computing support to each inspection station via a computer network. Inspection stations send images to the computing station for calculation and feedback. The entire data center involves data reports from each process. Through the tight integration of the sorting mechanism's internal data structure, OCR data structure, and QR code system, it achieves coordinated development and data integration, enabling the sorting mechanism to adapt to special working modes such as all products repeatedly running through the sorting mechanism after packing, all good products repeatedly running through the sorting mechanism, and some good products repeatedly running through the sorting mechanism.

[0067] In this way, the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system reduces manual operation. Through the integrated production line, it integrates production processes such as paper feeding, counting, cutting, sorting, and bundling, and builds a complete information system. This solves the problems of quality information management and production information traceability, realizes the accurate positioning of target paper and the traceability of production information throughout the process, and reduces digital security risks based on the verification of paper information.

[0068] In addition, the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system in the above embodiments provided in this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0069] In some embodiments provided in this application, optionally, the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes: controlling the knife detection mechanism to verify at least one of the first paper information and the first expected paper information with the second paper information; and obtaining the grouping position parameters based on the matching of the first paper information and the second paper information, or the matching of the first expected paper information and the second paper information.

[0070] In this embodiment, the cutting tool inspection mechanism verifies at least one of the first paper information and the first expected paper information against the second paper information. If the first paper information and the second paper information match, or if the first expected paper information and the second paper information match, i.e., the verification result of the second paper information is qualified, the cutting tool inspection mechanism sends a release signal. If the verification result is unqualified, the cutting tool inspection mechanism sends an alarm and a stop-cutting signal. By verifying the second paper information, the cutting tool inspection mechanism ensures the correctness of the groups to be cut.

[0071] In some embodiments provided in this application, optionally, the paper cutting and sealing system further includes a conveying mechanism; the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes: controlling the conveying mechanism to convey multiple single-layer papers to a sorting mechanism; controlling the sorting mechanism to identify paper information in the multiple single-layer papers; obtaining third paper information; controlling the sorting mechanism to sort multiple single-layer papers to obtain a target paper, wherein the multiple single-layer papers include the target paper; and obtaining second expected paper information based on the third paper information of the target paper.

[0072] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism transports multiple single-layer sheets of paper to the sorting mechanism, facilitating subsequent processes to verify and sort each sheet individually. Specifically, the paper cutting and sealing system may include multiple sorting mechanisms. For example, the paper cutting and sealing system may include two sorting mechanisms, with the conveying mechanism transporting multiple single-layer sheets of paper to the idle sorting mechanism.

[0073] Specifically, if one sorting mechanism malfunctions and cannot continue operating, the paper is manually transferred to a trolley in another sorting mechanism, and an image of the paper is captured using manual photo capture mode. Based on the status in the diversion table and the database of the isolated malfunctioning sorting mechanism, a comprehensive comparison is performed to determine if the paper has already been produced in another sorting mechanism. Through prompts and confirmation, the data is updated to the corresponding data of the operating sorting mechanism, thus achieving the transfer of data and paper.

[0074] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 As shown, the paper information recognition process and the belt-bundling station before and after the two sorting mechanisms all require bidirectional data access with the sorting mechanisms. Since both sorting mechanisms use the same IP address range, they cannot be directly connected to the same switch, otherwise IP address conflicts will occur. A combination of port forwarding, multiple gateways, and network hop configuration is used to achieve database communication with the two sorting mechanism devices.

[0075] The sorting mechanism captures images of single-layer paper, identifies paper information within multiple single-layer paper sheets, performs number recognition on the images, and obtains third paper information. This third paper information is the paper information of the single-layer paper sheets entering the sorting mechanism, obtained through number recognition. For example, the third paper information is the serial number of a single banknote or banknote obtained by the sorting mechanism through number recognition.

[0076] The sorting mechanism sorts multiple single-layer paper sheets. Using images of the single-layer paper sheets captured by the sorting mechanism, the image quality is checked. Single-layer paper sheets that fail the sorting check are considered waste and destroyed online. Single-layer paper sheets that pass the sorting check are output as target paper sheets, thus obtaining qualified target paper sheets. The multiple single-layer paper sheets include the target paper sheets, which are the sorted and qualified single-layer paper sheets. For example, the target paper sheets are finished banknotes or banknotes.

[0077] Based on the third paper information of the target paper, the second expected paper information is obtained. Specifically, the third paper information is compared with the sorting table of all possible batches in the database of the sorting organization under the current shift to find the machine number of the current third paper information. Then, from the data with greater than the current machine number, the first M pieces of third paper information that belong to the target paper warehouse after removing duplicates are obtained as the second expected paper information.

[0078] In some embodiments provided in this application, optionally, the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes: controlling the sorting mechanism to bundle the target paper into multiple second paper groups by means of a strap, wherein any second paper group includes M target papers, and the second expected paper information includes the third paper information of the target paper of any second paper group; controlling the sorting mechanism to add barcode labels to the straps, wherein the barcode labels include the second expected paper information.

[0079] In this embodiment, the sorting mechanism bundles the target papers into multiple second paper groups using straps, facilitating subsequent boxing. Each second paper group includes M target papers, and the second expected paper information includes the third paper information of the target papers in any second paper group. For example, M can be 1000, and each second paper group includes 1000 banknotes or banknotes; the second expected paper information is the serial number of each of the 1000 banknotes or banknotes.

[0080] The control sorting mechanism adds barcode labels to the belts. The barcode labels include second expected paper information. Scanning the barcode labels can obtain the second expected paper information, as well as information such as inspection date, personnel, machine, and serial number.

[0081] Specifically, the tape-gluing detection mechanism is located at the back end of the sorting mechanism, with the same number of units as the sorting mechanism. It consists of an image acquisition system, a back-end industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touchscreen. It performs paper information identification and verification of sorted products, barcode detection, and is involved in adding and managing new shipments, modeling, and historical record management. The tape-gluing detection mechanism is controlled by a PLC and interacts with the GTS counting module and tape-gluing device to execute corresponding actions. After receiving the paper information module arrival signal and the tape-gluing module arrival signal from the second paper group, the tape-gluing detection mechanism can output signals such as "paper information verification normal," "GTS counting result," "barcode detection normal," "white strip detection normal," and "detection abnormality."

[0082] Optionally, in some embodiments provided in this application, the control method for the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes:

[0083] Obtain the train number information of the paper transport organization, and associate the train number information with the paper information of the initial paper product;

[0084] Obtain the quantity of initial paper products, the expected number of groups, and paper information. Based on the quantity of initial paper products, the expected number of groups, and paper information, determine the first expected paper information of the first sheet of any expected group.

[0085] In this embodiment, the relevant information of the initial paper products transported by the paper conveying mechanism is manually entered into the database. For example, the initial paper products are 10,000 sheets of uncut large banknotes or denominations. The conveying mechanism transports the initial paper products to the paper loading mechanism using transport vehicles. The transport vehicle information includes vehicle number information; for example, the vehicle number information is the vehicle number. The vehicle number information of the paper conveying mechanism is obtained, and this vehicle number information is associated with the paper information of the initial paper products. For example, the vehicle number information includes the number of the paper transport vehicle for any process. The quantity of the initial paper products, the expected number of groups, and the paper information are entered into the database. Based on the quantity of the initial paper products, the expected number of groups, and the paper information, the paper information of all single-layer papers is calculated, and the paper information of the first sheet expected to appear in a subsequent process for any group is determined. This is used to verify the correctness of the grouping by the paper loading mechanism, thus improving the production information recording in the production system.

[0086] Specifically, the inspection process automatically obtains the corresponding expected paper information based on the paper information generated by the preceding station, realizing automatic inspection of the entire integrated production line. Operators only need to enter the paper information at the paper feeding mechanism or the tool inspection mechanism, and subsequent stations can automatically start inspection based on the batch information of the preceding station, avoiding the need to enter data sequentially at each station during operation.

[0087] In this way, by using the relevant information of the initial paper products, the paper information of the first sheet of paper expected to appear in the subsequent process of any group can be determined, thus improving the production information record in the production system.

[0088] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application includes a verification mechanism, and the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system further includes:

[0089] Obtain third-party expected paper information;

[0090] The control cutting mechanism combines N first paper groups into a third paper group, and the third expected paper information includes the paper information of the first paper of any third paper group.

[0091] The control verification mechanism identifies the paper information of the first sheet in any third paper group to obtain the fourth paper information;

[0092] Verify the information on the fourth sheet of paper and the information on the third expected sheet of paper;

[0093] Based on the matching of the fourth paper information and the third expected paper information, the control conveying mechanism divides multiple third paper groups into multiple single-layer papers.

[0094] In this embodiment, the paper information of all target papers is calculated based on the relevant information of the input initial paper sample, and the third expected paper information is obtained. This third expected paper information is the paper information expected to appear in the subsequent verification process of the verification agency. For example, the third expected paper information is the banknote or banknote number of the first sheet of the third paper group expected to appear in the verification process. By verifying the specified paper information with the third expected paper information, it can be determined whether the process is operating normally. For example, the third expected paper can be the banknote or banknote number of the first sheet of the third paper group entering the sorting agency.

[0095] The control cutting mechanism combines N first paper groups into a third paper group, which is formed by stacking N first paper groups. The third expected paper information includes the paper information of the first paper in any third paper group. For example, N can be 10, and 10 first paper groups are stacked to form the third paper group. Each third paper group includes 1000 single-layer papers, and the third expected paper information is the banknote or denomination number of the top single-layer paper in the 1000 single-layer papers.

[0096] Specifically, the number of verification mechanisms is the same as that of sorting mechanisms. The verification mechanism is located at the paper feeding position at the front end of the sorting mechanism. It is controlled by the image acquisition system and PLC, and interacts with the cutting line and sorting mechanism to execute corresponding actions. After receiving the robot arm's arrival signal, the verification mechanism can output a verification signal. The verification results include ready, acquisition completed, verification normal, verification abnormal, in-machine trolley release, and out-of-machine trolley release.

[0097] The verification mechanism primarily identifies and verifies the paper information of target paper entering the sorting mechanism, involving vehicle management, transfer management, and historical record management. The verification mechanism can index historical data for querying and tracking based on conditions such as vehicle number, time period, and machine number, enabling data transfer between two sorting mechanisms and automating vehicle startup and switching. It automatically acquires the diversion data from the sorting and cutting mechanisms, enabling automatic startup and continuous production. The verification mechanism can also interact with the cutting and sorting mechanisms to exchange relevant database information, including vehicle number information, ticket information, paper information, and expected paper information. It verifies and records the date in the expected number diversion table for the cutting line, the sorting mechanism database table, and the local record table.

[0098] Specifically, after the cutting mechanism combines N first paper groups into a third paper group, it loads seven third paper groups at a time via a trolley on the link and pushes them to the sorting mechanism in the space. After successful push, the sorting mechanism identifier field of the seven third paper groups in the production code table of the database is updated to the production line number of the corresponding sorting mechanism. For example, the first production line is number 1 and the second production line is number 2.

[0099] The verification mechanism acquires an image of the third paper group, identifies the paper information of the first sheet in any third paper group, and obtains the fourth paper information. The fourth paper information is the paper information of the topmost sheet in the third paper group within the verification mechanism. For example, the fourth paper information is the banknote or denomination number identified by the verification mechanism as the topmost sheet in the third paper group. The fourth paper information is verified against the expected third paper information. If the fourth paper information and the expected third paper information match, the verification is successful. The verification of the fourth paper information by the verification mechanism ensures the correctness of the third paper group to be transported. Furthermore, the cutting mechanism combines N first paper groups into a third paper group through a cutting station, a collecting station, and a collecting station, improving the verification efficiency of the verification mechanism.

[0100] The control conveyor divides multiple third paper groups into multiple single-layer papers. The multiple single-layer papers are laid flat on the conveyor, which facilitates the subsequent process of checking and sorting the single-layer papers.

[0101] In this way, the cutting mechanism combines N first paper groups into a third paper group, which improves the verification efficiency of the verification mechanism. By verifying whether the information of the fourth paper and the information of the third expected paper match, the correctness of the third paper group to be delivered is ensured.

[0102] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the control method for the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes:

[0103] Obtain the fourth expected paper information for a single-layer paper, which includes the paper information of any single-layer paper.

[0104] The control and verification mechanism sends the fourth expected paper information to the sorting mechanism;

[0105] The sorting mechanism verifies the third paper information and the fourth expected paper information;

[0106] Based on the matching of the third paper information and the fourth expected paper information, the sorting mechanism is controlled to sort single-layer paper.

[0107] In this embodiment, fourth expected paper information of a single-layer paper is obtained. The fourth expected paper information includes the paper information of any single-layer paper. For example, the fourth expected paper information may be the banknote number or denomination number expected to appear in the sorting process.

[0108] Specifically, the verification agency can also send information such as the vehicle number and product status corresponding to the third paper group to the real-time analysis and control system in the sorting agency for serialization preparation. When the verification agency checks the third paper group, the status of the single-layer paper included in the third paper group is "awaiting production," and the status of the single-layer paper after sorting is reset to "produced." The status field facilitates the interaction between these different statuses.

[0109] The control verification mechanism sends the fourth expected paper information to the sorting mechanism. The control sorting mechanism verifies the third paper information and the fourth expected paper information. If the third paper information and the fourth expected paper information match, the verification is successful, and the control sorting mechanism sorts the single-layer paper. By verifying the third paper information through the verification mechanism, the correctness of the single-layer paper to be sorted is ensured.

[0110] In this way, by verifying whether the third paper information and the fourth expected paper information match, the correctness of the single-layer paper to be sorted by the sorting mechanism is ensured.

[0111] In some embodiments provided in this application, optionally, the position parameters include: a first position parameter, a second position parameter, and a third position parameter. The first position parameter includes the offset value between the tool detection mechanism and the first direction coordinate. The second position parameter includes the first relative position parameter between the group and the tool detection mechanism in the second direction. The third position parameter includes the second relative position parameter between the group and the tool detection mechanism in the third direction. The control method of the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes:

[0112] The control tool detection mechanism acquires the position information of the group and determines the first position parameter, the second position parameter, and the third position parameter based on the position information;

[0113] The first position parameter is within the parameter threshold range, the second position parameter is less than or equal to the first parameter threshold, and the third position parameter is less than or equal to the second parameter threshold.

[0114] In this embodiment, the tool detection mechanism identifies grouped Region of Interest (ROI) images, performs automatic threshold segmentation on the ROI images, and uses morphological filtering to remove interference such as dirt, thereby obtaining the position information of the groups located in the cutting mechanism. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the cutting mechanism in the automatic cutting production line includes cutting blades, specifically, cutting blade A and cutting blade B.

[0115] The tool inspection mechanism performs B-blade side gauge inspection on the groups entering the cutting mechanism and determines the first position parameter based on the position information. For example, Hough line search is performed in an image after interference removal, and the found lines are drawn on a new blank image. The found lines are sorted according to their Y-coordinates, and the first direction coordinate is obtained based on the first line in the Y-direction. The first position parameter is an offset value calculated based on the first direction coordinate information. This offset value is sent to the cutting mechanism. If the first position parameter is within a parameter threshold range, the B-blade side gauge inspection is normal, and a B-blade inspection normal signal is output. If the first position parameter is outside the parameter threshold range, the tool inspection mechanism sends a B-blade side gauge alarm and stop signal to the cutting mechanism, and the AB blades of the cutting mechanism stop falling. The B-blade side gauge inspection ensures that the distance between the groups in the cutting mechanism and the cutting blades is within the allowable range.

[0116] The cutting tool inspection mechanism performs AB blade tilt detection on the groups entering the cutting mechanism. The AB blade tilt detection captures diagonal intaglio patterns for positioning. When the pressure plate reaches a designated position, a second position parameter and a third position parameter are calculated based on the positioning result of the diagonal intaglio. The second position parameter includes a first relative position parameter between the group and the cutting tool inspection mechanism in a second direction, and the third position parameter includes a second relative position parameter between the group and the cutting tool inspection mechanism in a third direction. For example, the second position parameter can be the offset value of the diagonal intaglio positioning in the X direction, and the third position parameter can be the offset value of the diagonal intaglio positioning in the Y direction. If the second position parameter is less than or equal to the first parameter threshold, and the third position parameter is less than or equal to the second parameter threshold, the AB blade tilt detection is normal, and an AB blade tilt detection normal signal is output. If the second position parameter is greater than the first parameter threshold, or the third position parameter is greater than the second parameter threshold, the cutting tool inspection mechanism issues a tilt detection alarm and stops the machine. Through this, the AB blade tilt detection ensures that the tilt of the groups placed in the cutting mechanism is within the allowable range.

[0117] Thus, by ensuring that the first position parameter is within the parameter threshold range, the second position parameter is less than or equal to the first parameter threshold, and the third position parameter is less than or equal to the second parameter threshold, it is ensured that the distance between the group and the cutting blade in the cutting mechanism, as well as the tilt of the group placement, are within the allowable range.

[0118] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the control method for the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes:

[0119] Bundle the E target sheets into a fourth sheet group using the binding strip;

[0120] Bundle the F fourth paper groups together with straps to form the second paper group.

[0121] In this embodiment, after the target papers pass through the sorting area and the paper outlet of the sorting mechanism, E target papers are bundled into a fourth paper group using binding strips, and F fourth paper groups are bundled into a second paper group using straps. Each fourth paper group includes E target papers, and each second paper group includes E × F target papers. For example, E can be 100, F can be 10, and each bundled fourth paper group includes 100 target papers, and each second paper group includes 10 fourth paper groups, totaling 1000 target papers.

[0122] In this way, by grouping and bundling the target paper, it is easier to count, pack and transport the target paper.

[0123] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the control method for the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application further includes:

[0124] The control strap detection mechanism identifies the paper information of the first sheet in any of the multiple second paper groups to obtain the fifth sheet information;

[0125] The control strapping detection mechanism acquires images of the strapping strips being bundled;

[0126] The control strap detection mechanism verifies the fifth paper information and the second expected paper information to obtain the first verification result;

[0127] Obtain the barcode image of the barcode label, compare the barcode image with the first preset image, and obtain the second verification result;

[0128] The bundled image is compared with the second preset image to obtain the third verification result;

[0129] Based on the first, second, and third verification results, the second paper group is sealed in plastic.

[0130] In this embodiment, the strapping detection mechanism acquires an image of the second paper group exiting the target paper outlet, identifies the paper information of the first sheet of any second paper group among multiple first paper groups, and obtains fifth paper information. The fifth paper information is the paper information of the first sheet of the second paper group after it has been strapped together. For example, the fifth paper information is the banknote or denomination number of the first sheet of the second paper group identified by the strapping detection mechanism. The strapping detection mechanism acquires an image of the strapping strip and obtains the strapping status of the second paper group based on the image.

[0131] The strapping inspection agency verifies the information of the fifth paper and the information of the second expected paper to obtain the first verification result. The first verification result is used to determine whether the information of the fifth paper and the information of the second expected paper match, so as to ensure the correctness of the second paper group after strapping.

[0132] Specifically, the system obtains all possible vehicle numbers for the second paper group based on the current shift information. Then, it queries the sorting organization's database to determine all possible batch information. When the second paper group passes the inspection point, it retrieves the paper information of the first sheet and the second expected sheet, comparing it with the data in the separate tables of all possible batch information and the current batch information to determine if the paper information belongs to the current batch. If not, it continues querying the next batch until a match is found. Because the sorting organization's database contains correlation information between vehicle number information and batch information, the vehicle number information for the current second paper group can be obtained through the sorting organization's batch information.

[0133] The cable tie inspection mechanism acquires the barcode image of the barcode label and compares it with a first preset image to obtain a second verification result. The first preset image can be a barcode label image template pre-stored in a database. The second verification result ensures that the barcode label image is clear and qualified. The cable tie inspection mechanism uses the template to determine the position of the barcode image, performs rotation correction, identifies the one-dimensional barcode information, and uses deep learning to identify the alphanumeric information below the barcode image. By searching the lines in the barcode image, it assesses the integrity of the lines to perform barcode quality inspection.

[0134] The bundled image is compared with a second preset image to obtain a third verification result. The first preset image can be a bundled image template pre-stored in the database. The third verification result ensures that the target paper is bundled correctly. For example, deep learning technology is used to identify the bundle strips, determine whether the number of bundle strips is 10, and divide the bundle strips into two groups according to the position information of the bundle strips: 5 at the top and 5 at the bottom, to determine the neatness of the bundle.

[0135] If the first, second, and third verification results are all qualified, the second paper group is sealed in plastic using a heat sealing machine, and after the quantity is counted, it is conveyed to the packing mechanism via an automatic conveyor belt.

[0136] It should be noted that the cable tie inspection agency uses deep learning technology to inspect the number of bundles, identify paper information, and check the quality of barcode label graphics. The deep learning network is trained using a large dataset of samples. During the training phase, the sample data is compared between the predictions of the deep learning network and the results of manually labeled data. The differences are fed back to the deep learning network, which continuously adjusts its parameters to reduce the discrepancies between the predictions and the manually labeled data, thus achieving analysis results close to those of humans. Deep learning is used to detect the neatness and quantity of the cable ties, to perform digital recognition of barcode labels, to check the quality of QR codes using template matching, and to identify paper information using template positioning and deep learning, thus avoiding human error.

[0137] In this way, by verifying the information on the fifth sheet, the barcode image, and the bundling image, the correctness of the second sheet group after bundling is ensured, the barcode image is clear and qualified, and the target sheet bundling is qualified.

[0138] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application includes a packing detection mechanism and a packing mechanism, and the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system further includes:

[0139] The control packing and inspection mechanism identifies the paper information of the first sheet in any of the multiple second paper groups to obtain the information of the sixth sheet.

[0140] Verify the information on the sixth sheet and the second expected sheet.

[0141] Based on the matching of the sixth paper information and the second expected paper information, the packing inspection mechanism is controlled to generate packing information;

[0142] The control packing mechanism assembles multiple second sheets into the target box and adds packing labels to the target box;

[0143] The packing label includes packing information.

[0144] In this embodiment, the packing inspection mechanism is located at the front end of the packing mechanism and consists of an image acquisition system, a background industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touchscreen. The packing inspection mechanism is used to identify and verify the paper information of the target paper before packing, and record packing data. The packing inspection mechanism interacts with the packing mechanism and the robotic arm via PLC control, executing paper information acquisition trigger signals, label printing functions, and prompting messages such as "labeling completed," "labeling machine image not received and resent," and "labeling image distribution completed." Upon receiving the second paper group product arrival signal, the packing inspection mechanism can output paper information verification normal and verification abnormal signals.

[0145] The packing inspection mechanism acquires images of the second paper group, identifies the paper information of the first paper in any second paper group among multiple second paper groups, and obtains the information of the sixth paper. The information of the sixth paper is the paper number located at the top of the second paper group in the packing mechanism.

[0146] The information on the sixth sheet of paper is verified against the information on the second expected sheet of paper. If the information on the sixth sheet of paper matches the information on the second expected sheet of paper, the verification is considered successful. The packing inspection agency then generates packing information. For example, the packing information can be the serial numbers of all banknotes or banknotes in the second sheet group within the box. By verifying the information on the sixth sheet of paper, the packing inspection agency determines whether the second sheet group located in the packing agency matches the expected information, ensuring the correctness of the second sheet group about to be packed.

[0147] The packing inspection unit uses the packing mechanism's flipping device to obtain information on any sixth sheet of paper. This information is then compared with the data from the strapping device to ensure the second sheet group completes normal production on the strapping device. If an abnormal product is detected, manual intervention is required. Additionally, the unit checks for duplicate paper information. Only second sheet groups meeting these conditions are allowed to be packed; otherwise, they are pushed out.

[0148] The packing mechanism assembles multiple second sheets of paper into the target box and adds a packing label to the target box. The packing label includes packing information, which includes information about the target sheets inside the target box. The packing information can be obtained by scanning the packing label.

[0149] It should be noted that if the packing mechanism malfunctions and fails to complete the packing, or if a traceability process is required after the entire packing is completed, the packing mechanism needs to repack the packing using the train number list and the packing number control, and transfer the record data of the packing number in the database to a new table to update the data.

[0150] In this way, the packing inspection agency verifies the information on the sixth sheet to ensure the correctness of the second sheet set that is about to be packed.

[0151] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the paper cutting and sealing system provided in this application includes a box label detection mechanism, and the control method of the paper cutting and sealing system further includes:

[0152] The packing inspection agency sends packing information to the box label inspection agency.

[0153] The control box label inspection agency acquires the label image of the packing label, compares the label image with the third preset image, and obtains the fourth verification result;

[0154] The control box label detection mechanism scans the packing label to obtain the packing label information;

[0155] The packing label information and packing information are verified to obtain the fifth verification result;

[0156] Output the fourth and fifth verification results.

[0157] In this embodiment, the box label detection mechanism is located at the box-pressing cover of the packing mechanism and consists of an image acquisition system, a background industrial control computer, and a human-machine interface touch screen. The box label detection mechanism uses a deep learning network trained with a large dataset of samples to perform product sequence verification of the packing mechanism, count products inside the box, determine the presence and quantity of labels inside the box, identify and verify packing labels, and perform quality inspection of the packing labels. Upon receiving a paper arrival signal, it triggers two cameras on the left and right to acquire images and outputs normal and abnormal verification signals.

[0158] The packing inspection agency sends the packing information to the box label inspection agency. The box label inspection agency obtains the label image, identifies the position of the QR code in the image, and determines whether the QR code is skewed by using the bounding rectangle and rotation angle of the QR code. OCR is used to extract the box number, retrieve the text and numbers from the QR code information, and perform high and low value detection on the text and numbers. The label image is compared with a third preset image, and residual point information in the image is obtained for blob analysis to obtain a fourth verification result. The third preset image can be a packing label image template pre-stored in the database. The fourth verification result determines whether the packing label image is clear and acceptable.

[0159] The packing label inspection agency scans the packing label to obtain the packing label information. For example, the packing label information is the banknote or denomination number identified through the packing label. The packing label information and the packing information are verified to obtain a fifth verification result. If the packing label information and the packing information match, the verification is successful, and the packing label information is accurate. The fourth and fifth verification results are then output.

[0160] The box label inspection agency obtains the box number of the current paper from the packing database of the packing agency and adds it to the box number inspection queue. It then uses a QR code inspection point to retrieve the first box number in the queue and performs a box number check. Finished products that pass the packing process are automatically transferred to the warehouse via AGC (Automatic Gain Control).

[0161] A high-speed computing center provides remote, networked computing support to each inspection station. Inspection stations transmit images to the computing center for processing and result feedback. The computing center employs multi-site backup to prevent downtime at all inspection stations due to station failures. The computing center uses deep learning technology to provide paper information recognition, strapping barcode recognition, packing label number recognition, strapping strip detection, and bag inspection for the inspection modules. After adopting deep learning, the accuracy of each inspection item is significantly higher than that of the original traditional algorithms.

[0162] In this way, the box label inspection agency verifies the image of the packing label to ensure that the image is clear and qualified. The box label inspection agency verifies the packing label information and the packing information, and the packing label information is accurate.
