Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of braiding machine control, and in particular to an intelligent control system and method for a high-speed braiding machine. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, the technology of knitting machines has been continuously improved. From the earliest manual knitting machines to mechanized knitting machines, and then to modern high-speed automated knitting machines, the textile industry has achieved remarkable development. However, there are still some key problems in traditional high-speed knitting machines, mainly focusing on yarn tension control, yarn path monitoring, and yarn wear management.
[0003] First, the yarn tension control of traditional high-speed braiding machines is not precise, and the yarn tension fluctuates violently during the braiding process, which can easily lead to yarn breakage, resulting in production interruptions and reduced product quality. Especially in situations where the yarn tension changes frequently, traditional equipment lacks accurate monitoring and adjustment mechanisms, and cannot promptly identify abnormal fluctuations in yarn tension, which ultimately affects braiding efficiency and finished product quality.
[0004] Secondly, the changes of yarns on the weaving path are complex, and traditional weaving machines lack sufficient sensors and data processing capabilities to monitor and adjust the yarn path in real time. Especially when the yarn turns or interweaves, it is difficult for traditional weaving machines to predict the exact position of the yarn, resulting in frequent twisting, knotting or entanglement of the yarn. This problem is often exacerbated without an effective path monitoring and optimization mechanism, further increasing the complexity and cost of production.
[0005] In addition, traditional knitting machines have deficiencies in yarn wear management and are unable to detect yarn wear in real time. For example, during the knitting process, factors such as needle wear and the frequency of yarn interlacing points often lead to excessive yarn wear, affecting the uniformity and strength of the fabric. However, traditional knitting machines lack real-time monitoring of these key parameters, resulting in the inability to take timely adjustment measures to ensure production quality.

[0106] The yarn fiber breaking strength coefficient Fbs indicates the maximum load-bearing capacity of the yarn. A higher breaking strength coefficient means that the yarn can withstand greater tension during the weaving process, thereby reducing the risk of yarn breakage and improving production stability. The higher the better;
[0107] The moment of inertia of the drum Irt. A drum with a larger moment of inertia requires more effort during acceleration or deceleration, which may cause speed fluctuations and tension changes. Understanding the moment of inertia of the drum helps optimize the operating parameters of the braiding machine and reduce tension fluctuations caused by drum inertia; the speed fluctuation rate of the yarn supply wheel Sws indicates that the speed of the yarn supply wheel is unstable, which will directly affect the supply tension of the yarn and cause fluctuations in the braiding quality. Reducing the speed fluctuation rate can improve the stability of the braiding process and product quality;
[0108] A high weaving path turning rate Crv means that the yarn needs to turn frequently during the weaving process, which may increase the friction and tension variation of the yarn and lead to unstable weaving quality. Understanding the turning rate can help optimize the yarn path design, thereby reducing the friction and tension fluctuation of the yarn.
[0109] In this embodiment, by calculating the tension fluctuation index Zbd, the tension fluctuation of the yarn during the weaving process can be monitored in real time. This helps to promptly discover and correct the problem of unstable tension, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the weaving quality and reducing problems such as yarn breakage and fabric defects. The calculation of the tension fluctuation index can reveal potential tension problems and issue early warnings in a timely manner, thereby avoiding production interruptions caused by yarn breakage. This helps to maintain the continuity of the production process and reduce production losses caused by machine downtime. The settings of the braiding machine can be optimized, such as adjusting the speed of the yarn supply wheel, tension control, etc. This optimization helps to maintain the best weaving quality under different weaving conditions and improve production efficiency. Accurately monitoring and adjusting the yarn tension can effectively reduce yarn breakage and loss caused by tension fluctuations, thereby reducing raw material waste and improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0112] In this embodiment, in order to compare various indicators on the same scale, it is necessary to perform dimensionless processing on temperature, humidity, static electricity and dust concentration. Dimensionless processing converts these values into a standardized form so that they can be analyzed at the same magnitude. By comprehensively considering multiple environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, static electricity and dust concentration, the environmental impact coefficient Es can comprehensively evaluate the impact of the environment on the weaving process and provide a more accurate prediction of environmental impact.

[0116] The tension control unit is used to preset the yarn break threshold value X, and compare the yarn break prediction coefficient Dfxs with the yarn break threshold value X to obtain the tension fluctuation trend analysis results, including:
[0117] When the yarn break prediction coefficient Dfxs> the yarn break threshold value X, it means that the tension fluctuates drastically and there is a risk of the first yarn breaking. The tension control unit generates a first control strategy, including: adjusting the speed of the yarn supply wheel to reduce the current speed by 6%-10%, and adjusting the tension controller to reduce the current tension by 5%-8%;
[0118] When the yarn break prediction coefficient Dfxs = the yarn break threshold value X, it means that the tension fluctuates at a high frequency and there is a risk of second yarn breakage, and the tension control unit generates a second control strategy, including: adjusting the speed of the yarn supply wheel to reduce the current speed by 4%-5%, and adjusting the tension controller to reduce the current tension by 1%-4%;
[0119] When the yarn break prediction coefficient Dfxs is less than the yarn break threshold value X, it means that the yarn breakage is in a stable state, there is no risk of yarn breakage, and the current yarn supply wheel speed and the pressure value of the tension controller are continuously maintained.
[0120] In this embodiment, a targeted control strategy can be generated based on the comparison between the yarn break prediction coefficient Dfxs and the preset yarn break threshold value X. When the prediction coefficient indicates that there is a risk of yarn breakage, the settings of the yarn supply wheel speed and the tension controller are adjusted to effectively reduce the occurrence of yarn breakage, thereby optimizing the weaving process and reducing production interruptions. By formulating different control strategies to deal with different levels of yarn breakage risks (such as the first yarn breakage risk and the second yarn breakage risk), more refined production control can be achieved. This hierarchical control can improve production stability and reduce production fluctuations caused by yarn breakage. By adjusting production parameters in a timely manner, yarn breakage and the waste of raw materials caused by breakage can be reduced. An effective control strategy can extend the service life of the yarn and reduce production costs.

Represents the third correction constant.
[0131] The real-time image data of the yarn is analyzed by the image acquisition unit and the image processing unit, and important features such as weaving density, needle wear, and the frequency of yarn interlacing points are accurately extracted, so that potential problems in the weaving process, such as uneven yarn tightness and needle wear, can be discovered in time. By reasonably adjusting the weaving density and speed, the uniformity and quality of yarn weaving can be significantly improved. Through real-time monitoring of needle wear, needle wear can be predicted and discovered in time to avoid needle breakage or textile quality problems caused by excessive wear, thereby reducing equipment failure rate, extending equipment life, and reducing maintenance costs. Real-time detection of the number of burrs and nodules on the yarn surface helps to quickly identify unqualified yarns and weaving defects, reduce the generation of waste products, reduce the waste of raw materials, and improve production efficiency. The system realizes the automatic monitoring and control of key parameters such as weaving density and yarn wear through the combination of high-resolution industrial cameras and image processing algorithms, without manual intervention, ensuring the intelligent and efficient production process. Through the calculation of the yarn wear index Yw, the wear state of yarn and equipment can be predicted in advance, maintenance plans can be reasonably arranged, sudden equipment failures can be avoided, and the continuity and stability of production can be ensured.
[0132] The weaving density control module also includes a yarn fatigue analysis unit and a second control unit;
[0133] The yarn fatigue analysis unit is used to preset a wear threshold W, and compare and evaluate the yarn wear index Yw with the wear threshold W to obtain a second evaluation result, including:
[0134] When the yarn wear index Yw> the wear threshold W, it indicates that the yarn wear is abnormal, and the first wear risk level is generated. The second control unit generates a third control strategy, including: adjusting the knitting speed of the knitting machine needle to reduce the current speed by 5%-8% to reduce the friction force of the yarn during the knitting process, thereby slowing down the yarn wear, starting the yarn burr removal device to clean the burrs on the yarn surface, and reducing the speed of the yarn supply wheel by 4%-6% of the current speed;
[0135] When the yarn wear index Yw=wear threshold W, it indicates that the yarn wear is abnormal, and a second wear risk level is generated. The second control unit generates a fourth control strategy, including: adjusting the knitting speed of the knitting machine needle to reduce the current speed by 3%-4% to moderately reduce the pressure on the yarn, thereby controlling the wear speed, the yarn burr removal device enables the detection mode to identify and remove slight burrs on the yarn surface, and the yarn supply wheel speed is reduced by 2%-3% of the current speed to prevent further tension fluctuations from causing accelerated wear of the yarn;
[0136] When the yarn wear index Yw is less than the wear threshold W, it indicates that the yarn wear is normal. At this time, the needle knitting speed and the yarn supply wheel speed remain at the current level and no adjustment is required. The yarn burr removal device is in monitoring mode, continuously detecting but not actively removing burrs. It will only take action when an abnormality is detected on the yarn surface.
[0137] In this embodiment, even after the implementation of the first control strategy and the second control strategy, continuous regulation can monitor the actual state of the yarn and the operating parameters of the knitting machine in real time. After the initial adjustment, continued regulation helps to further optimize according to the actual production situation. This can effectively avoid the decline in production efficiency caused by insufficient parameter adjustment and ensure the smooth operation of the knitting process. By calculating the yarn wear index Yw and combining factors such as knitting density, needle wear, and knitting machine operation time, the degree of wear of the yarn can be accurately evaluated. The comprehensive evaluation after dimensionless processing makes wear management more scientific and accurate. According to the yarn wear index Yw and the preset wear threshold W, a targeted control strategy is automatically generated. When abnormal wear is found, the knitting speed of the knitting machine needle and the speed of the yarn supply wheel can be dynamically adjusted, and measures can be taken in time to slow down the wear of the yarn. The third control strategy and the fourth control strategy are implemented for further regulation. By adjusting the operating parameters of the knitting machine and cleaning the yarn burr device, the wear speed of the yarn can be effectively slowed down, the production shutdown and raw material waste caused by wear can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved.

After the yarn wear index Yw is constructed, the yarn wear index Yw is evaluated to analyze whether there is abnormal yarn wear, obtain the wear risk level, and further adjust the speed of the knitting machine and the yarn supply speed according to the wear risk level to automatically optimize the knitting process.
[0148] Step 6: Compare the environmental impact coefficient Es with the environmental threshold R to obtain a third evaluation result, and perform environmental control on the area with abnormal environmental conditions based on the third evaluation result.
[0149] In this embodiment, according to steps 1 to 5, the weaving process can be precisely controlled by real-time monitoring of yarn tension, yarn supply wheel parameters and environmental conditions. This helps to ensure that the yarn works in the best condition, thereby improving the quality of the woven product, reducing the defect rate and improving the consistency of textiles. By monitoring parameters such as weaving density and needle wear, the wear of the equipment can be reduced, and overuse and equipment failure can be avoided. This helps to extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance. By automatically adjusting the speed of the braiding machine and the yarn supply speed, the high efficiency of production can be maintained during the real-time monitoring and adjustment process, and the production downtime caused by equipment problems or improper operation can be reduced. Through the intelligent control method, environmental monitoring, tension control and equipment adjustment are automated to improve the intelligence level of the production process.
