[0109] If the third fixed position is unqualified, it is determined that the upper layer of water-permeable material meets the single alarm condition;

[0110] If the third fixed position is qualified, it is determined that the upper layer of water-permeable material does not meet the single alarm condition;

[0111] If the bottom layer of water-impermeable material, the wick and the upper layer of water-permeable material all fail to meet the single alarm condition, the first control assembly determines that the stereotyped position performance of the sample to be tested is qualified;

[0113] The embodiment of the present invention ensures that the monitoring of the fixed position is real-time by identifying and calculating the real-time overlap area of ​​the bottom layer non-permeable material, the liquid absorbent core and the upper layer permeable material, and can timely discover and handle abnormal situations; through image recognition and calculation, automatic detection and comparison of the overlap area are realized, manual intervention is reduced, and production efficiency is improved; the actual overlap is described in percentage form, which can more accurately reflect the fixed position of the bottom layer non-permeable material, the liquid absorbent core and the upper layer permeable material, and avoid errors caused by subjective factors; by performing multiple comparisons between the actual overlap of each part and the standard overlap to determine whether the fixed position of each part is qualified, the misjudgment rate can be effectively reduced and the product quality can be ensured; according to the comparison results of the actual overlap of each part and the standard overlap, an alarm signal can be automatically issued to remind relevant personnel to handle in time to ensure the normal progress of production; in summary, it has the advantages of real-time, automation, accuracy, multiple comparison and alarm functions, and can effectively improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0114] Specifically, in this embodiment, each input flow rate is obtained according to each input gas flow meter, including: a first input flow rate A1, a second input flow rate A2, ..., and an nth input flow rate An; each output flow rate is obtained according to each output gas flow meter, including: a first output flow rate B1, a second output flow rate B2, ..., and an nth output flow rate Bn;

[0115] The first control assembly calculates an input overall flow rate value Z1 according to each input flow rate; and calculates an output overall flow rate value Z2 according to each output flow rate;

[0116] Z1=(A1+A2+……+An) / n;

[0117] Z2=(B1+B2+……+Bn) / n;

[0118] Calculate a fourth difference absolute value S4=|Z1=Z2| according to the input overall flow rate value Z1 and the output overall flow rate value Z2;

[0119] If S4≤S40, the first control assembly determines that the air permeability of the sample to be tested is qualified;

[0120] If S4>S40, the first control assembly determines that the air permeability of the sample to be tested is unqualified, and issues the second alarm signal;

[0121] Wherein, S40 is the air permeability performance evaluation value set in the first control assembly;

[0122] In the specific implementation process, the specific setting of the air permeability evaluation value is affected by the simulation conditions in the air permeability simulation test, and the simulation conditions include: external temperature and external humidity; for example, if the external temperature is suitable and the external humidity is dry during the air permeability simulation test, the air permeability evaluation value should be set to a smaller value to avoid inaccurate testing caused by the influence of humidity and temperature during the actual use of the sanitary napkin;

[0123] Based on the fact that both the shaping position performance and the air permeability performance are qualified, the first control assembly marks the sample to be tested as the sample to be fixed.

[0124] The embodiment of the present invention can obtain an overall calculated value by calculating the overall input and output flow rates, and more accurately evaluate the air permeability performance; by calculating the fourth difference absolute value, it is intuitively judged whether the air permeability of the sample to be tested is qualified, and the automatic judgment and alarm functions are effectively realized, and the air permeability performance evaluation value can be set according to the conditions of the simulation test to avoid the influence of factors such as humidity and temperature on the test results, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results; the samples that have passed the fixed position performance and air permeability performance tests are marked as samples to be fixed, and the tracking and management of qualified samples can be realized.

[0125] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second control assembly recognizes the second image to obtain an actual contour area and a pixel point contour circle;

[0126] If the actual contour area is consistent with the size and shape of the plastic-free paper film, the second control assembly determines that the fixed position performance is qualified;

[0127] If the actual contour area is inconsistent with the size and shape of the plastic-free paper film, the second control assembly determines that the fixed position performance is unqualified and sends a first pressure adjustment signal;

[0128] If the pixel point contour circle has no discontinuities, the second control assembly determines that the edge bonding condition is qualified;

[0129] If the pixel point contour circle has a discontinuity point and the discontinuity point is unique, the second control assembly determines that the edge bonding condition is unqualified, determines that the abnormal bonding level is level one, and sends a first time adjustment signal;

[0130] If the pixel point contour circle has discontinuities and the discontinuities are not unique, the second control assembly determines that the edge bonding condition is unqualified, determines that the abnormal bonding level is level 2, and issues a second pressure adjustment signal;

[0131] The second control assembly recognizes the third image to obtain the raised pixel points and the actual side thickness of the fixed sample;

[0137] If the actual side thickness H≥H0+H', the second control assembly determines that the adsorption performance is unqualified, determines that the abnormal adsorption level is level 2, and issues a fifth pressure adjustment signal;

[0138] If the actual side thickness H0-H'<H<H0+H', the second control assembly determines that the adsorption performance is qualified;

[0139] Wherein, H' is the increaseable thickness set in the second control assembly;

[0140] In the specific implementation process, the standard thickness H0 is set to 2.5mm, and the thickness that can be increased H' is set to 0.5mm; the specific setting is also affected by the actual production specifications. The actual production specifications in this embodiment are that the thickness specifications of the sanitary napkins produced must be between [2mm, 3mm]. The actual production specifications are related to the type of sanitary napkins produced. For example, for ultra-thin sanitary napkins suitable for mild to moderate menstrual periods, the standard thickness H0 of the ultra-thin sanitary napkins should be set to 2.0mm, and the thickness that can be increased H' should be set to 0.2mm; for night-time sanitary napkins suitable for moderate to severe menstrual periods or for nighttime use and long-term non-replacement, the standard thickness H0 of the night-time sanitary napkins should be set to 3.0mm, and the thickness that can be increased H' should be set to 0.7mm;

[0141] When the adsorption performance of the fixed sample is appropriate, the second control assembly calculates a fifth difference S5 between the actual side thickness H and the standard thickness H0, where S5=H-H0;

[0142] If S5>0, the second control assembly sends a third time adjustment signal;

[0143] If S5<0, the second control assembly sends a fourth time adjustment signal;

[0144] If S5=0, the second control assembly determines that the adsorption performance is qualified and the adsorption level is excellent.

By determining the abnormal adsorption level, an accurate evaluation of the adsorption performance can be achieved; by setting the standard thickness and the range of thickness that can be increased, suitable specification ranges can be customized according to different types of sanitary napkins to meet the needs of different user groups; by calculating the difference between the actual side thickness and the standard thickness, it can be determined whether the adsorption performance of the sanitary napkin meets the requirements, and the corresponding time adjustment signal can be issued to adjust the production process in time to improve product quality; dividing the adsorption level into different levels can help production personnel understand the severity of the problem more clearly, and take corresponding measures to adjust and improve it; through the judgment and adjustment of the automatic control system, the subjectivity and instability of manual operation are reduced, and the production efficiency and consistency of product quality are improved.
