Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical product packaging control systems, and in particular to a control and regulation system for producing medical cotton swabs. Background Art

[0002] In the production of medical cotton swabs, traditional production methods face many problems and challenges.

[0003] First, in terms of raw material supply, the supply control of raw materials such as medical cotton and wooden sticks was not precise enough in the past. The untimely supply of raw materials often leads to production interruptions. For example, when the cotton or wooden sticks are insufficient in stock, they cannot be replenished in time, affecting the production progress. In addition, the regulation of the raw material supply speed lacks scientificity, which may lead to the accumulation or shortage of raw materials during the production process, affecting production efficiency and cost control.

[0004] Secondly, the control of production process parameters is relatively rough. There is no precise way to regulate the tightness of cotton wrapped around the wooden stick, which often leads to uneven quality of cotton swabs. Some are wrapped too loosely, affecting the use effect, and some are wrapped too tightly, which may damage the wooden stick or cotton fiber. The winding speed also lacks a reasonable adjustment mechanism and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of product quality and production efficiency. The temperature and time control of the disinfection process is not precise enough, which may lead to incomplete disinfection affecting the sanitary quality of the product, or excessive disinfection affecting product performance.

[0005] Furthermore, the means of quality inspection are limited. Traditional quality inspection mainly relies on manual sampling, which is inefficient and inaccurate, and it is difficult to fully and timely discover product quality problems. For example, defects in the appearance of cotton swabs, cotton winding uniformity, and mechanical properties cannot be discovered and solved in time, resulting in defective products entering the market, affecting the overall product quality and corporate reputation.

[0006] In addition, the monitoring and scheduling of production progress is not intelligent enough. It is impossible to make reasonable arrangements based on order requirements and actual production conditions, which may lead to order delays or overproduction, and fail to meet market demand and improve the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0007] In short, the existing production methods of medical cotton swabs need to be improved in terms of raw material supply, process parameter control, quality inspection, and production progress management. A more advanced and intelligent control and adjustment system is needed to improve the production quality and efficiency of medical cotton swabs. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention provides a control and regulation system for producing medical cotton swabs to solve the problems mentioned in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a control and regulation system for producing medical cotton swabs, comprising:

[0010] The raw material supply control module is used to control the supply speed and supply amount of medical cotton and wooden stick raw materials. The module contains a sensor component for real-time monitoring of the remaining amount of cotton and wooden sticks in the raw material storage bin. When the remaining amount of cotton is lower than the set threshold, , the sensor will send a signal to trigger the raw material replenishment mechanism, and automatically call cotton from the raw material reserve for replenishment; for wooden sticks, when the remaining amount of wooden sticks is lower than the set threshold , will trigger the replenishment operation; its supply speed control formula is: For cotton, the supply speed ,in is the demand rate of cotton for the current cotton swab production equipment, unit: g / min, is the cotton supply adjustment coefficient, ranging from 0.8 to 1.2; for wooden sticks, the supply speed ,in is the demand rate of the current cotton swab production equipment for wooden sticks (unit: sticks / minute), It is the supply adjustment coefficient of the sticks, with a value range of 0.9-1.1;

[0012] The quality inspection and feedback control module is used to perform real-time quality inspection on the produced medical cotton swabs and feed back the inspection results to other modules for corresponding adjustments. This module adopts a combination of optical inspection and mechanical inspection. The optical inspection mainly detects whether the cotton swabs have defects on their appearance and whether the cotton is evenly wound. The mechanical inspection mainly detects the strength and toughness of the cotton swabs. If the optical inspection finds that the cotton is not evenly wound, the quality inspection and feedback control module will send a signal to the production process parameter control module to adjust the parameters of the winding equipment. If the mechanical inspection finds that the cotton swabs are not strong enough, the cotton supply speed or winding tightness will be adjusted.

[0013] The production progress monitoring and scheduling module monitors the production progress of medical cotton swabs in real time and makes scheduling arrangements based on order requirements and actual production conditions.

The module contains a smart meter device to monitor the power consumption in real time. When the production equipment is idle, the power of the equipment is automatically reduced. The energy saving formula is: ,in is the adjusted device power, The normal operating power of the equipment. To save energy; at the same time, the lighting and other auxiliary equipment in the production workshop are intelligently controlled, and the lighting is automatically turned on and off according to the light intensity and personnel activities;

[0015] The packaging optimization module is responsible for the packaging process control of medical cotton swabs. This module automatically selects packaging materials and packaging methods according to different order requirements and product specifications. When producing small batches of high-end medical cotton swabs, independent packaging is used, and the packaging materials are environmentally friendly and moisture-proof and antibacterial materials; when producing large batches of ordinary medical cotton swabs, batch packaging is used. The packaging efficiency calculation formula is: ,in Indicates packaging efficiency, unit: pack / minute, is the number of cotton swabs packaged, is the packaging time, unit: minute; and the module also has the function of packaging sealing integrity detection;

[0016] The data analysis and prediction module collects the raw material supply, production process parameters, quality inspection results and production progress data in the production process of medical cotton swabs, and establishes a data model through big data analysis technology to predict future raw material demand, quality problems and production progress trends. The raw material demand prediction formula is: ,in It represents the total expected demand for cotton and wood sticks in the future. , are the coefficients related to the demand for cotton and sticks, To adjust constants; make production plans and adjustments in advance based on forecast results.

[0020] Preferably, the production progress monitoring and scheduling module uses variable frequency speed regulation technology to adjust the operating speed of the production equipment when adjusting the operating status of the production equipment.
