Technical Field

[0002] In the field of corrugated cardboard production, existing technologies face many challenges, especially in cutting path generation, glue application, visual inspection, robot control, and stacking operations. First, existing technologies have limitations in generating cutting paths for complex corrugated shapes, which leads to inaccurate cutting parameter settings, which in turn affects the subsequent molding and processing quality. Second, during the glue application and curing process, existing methods often fail to determine the appropriate glue type and curing degree according to specific needs, and lack precise control of the heat transfer process, which leads to unstable drying efficiency and finished product quality.
[0003] In terms of visual inspection and robot control, the existing technology also has deficiencies, resulting in limited grasping accuracy and failure to meet the needs of high-precision production. In addition, the existing technology lacks real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis of the stacking status during the stacking operation, which leads to insufficient stacking efficiency and stability, affecting the smoothness of the overall production process.
[0004] Some traditional corrugated paper production control methods may rely on experience or fixed speed settings in terms of production speed control, rather than dynamically adjusting the conveyor belt and paper feeding speed according to the real-time paper accumulation and stacking status. This practice may lead to low production efficiency or cardboard accumulation, affecting the smooth operation of the production line; at the same time, the existing technology may not be comprehensive in terms of production progress evaluation, and fails to comprehensively evaluate the production progress, including a comprehensive analysis of paper accumulation, transmission distance and order change conditions, resulting in an inability to respond to changes in production demand in a timely manner; therefore, it is necessary to develop new technologies to overcome these defects and improve the automation, intelligence and precision of corrugated cardboard production.
