Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spinning equipment technology, specifically to an automatic control system and method for a gas vortex spinning device. Background Technology

[0002] Spinning is a crucial process for turning fibers into yarn, holding a vital position in the textile industry. With the diversification of textile product demands and increasing quality requirements, traditional spinning processes face numerous challenges. These challenges not only affect the efficiency of the spinning process and product quality but also increase production costs and process complexity. The challenges of yarn quality inspection and control mainly include: 1) Fluctuations in fiber quality: These fluctuations are a significant factor affecting the spinning process and yarn quality. Inhomogeneities in fiber length, fineness, strength, elasticity, and other properties all lead to unstable yarn quality; 2) Tension control during spinning: Tension control during spinning is one of the key factors in ensuring yarn quality. Yarn needs to maintain constant tension during spinning; any fluctuation in tension will lead to uneven yarn thickness, increased breakage rate, and decreased yarn quality; 3) Yarn quality inspection and control is a crucial link in the spinning process. Traditional manual inspection methods are insufficient to meet the requirements of efficient production and high quality; 4) Inspection accuracy and speed: Optimizing and controlling the spinning process is an important means to improve yarn quality and production efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic control system for a gas vortex spinning device, including a data acquisition module, an image processing module, an auxiliary design module, an optimization decision-making module, and a self-learning update module; the modules are connected to each other via wired or wireless means.

[0055] The data acquisition module collects the corresponding target parameter data in real time based on the gas vortex spinning device and captures target images based on the high-speed camera;

[0056] Specifically, the target represents the yarn; the target parameter data includes the fiber length, yarn thickness and tension of the yarn, and the target image is an image captured by a high-speed camera according to a preset time frame.

[0057] Among them: fiber length is collected by fiber length sensor, yarn thickness is collected by yarn thickness sensor, tension is collected by tension sensor, and speed is preset based on prior knowledge. Therefore, the target image captures images of different positions of the yarn at different time frames.

[0058] More specifically, a fiber length sensor is installed at the inlet of the fiber entering the vortex spinning device to detect changes in fiber length and position. The fiber length sensor is embedded in the wall of the guide channel, ensuring that the sensor does not affect the fiber flow. Non-contact measurement is performed using a photoelectric sensor. When the fiber passes through the fiber length sensor, it blocks the light emitted from the transmitter, causing a change in the intensity of the light received by the receiver. The receiver detects this change in light intensity and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is amplified and filtered to remove noise and extract useful information. The time of light blocking is recorded, and the fiber length is calculated by combining this with a preset fiber speed. The formula for calculating fiber length is:

[0059] L=v×t (1)

[0060] Where: L is the length of the fiber; v is the speed at which the fiber passes through the sensor (usually in meters per second), which can be preset; t is the time the fiber blocks the light (in seconds), which can be obtained by measuring the pulse width of the electrical signal.

[0061] The yarn thickness sensor uses laser scanning technology to measure yarn thickness. A laser beam is emitted and aimed at the yarn, forming a spot on it. The laser beam is reflected by the yarn, and the reflected light is captured by the sensor's receiver. The receiver is typically positioned at an angle to the emitted laser beam, forming a triangle. The formula for calculating the yarn diameter is:

[0062]

[0063] Where: D is the diameter of the yarn, W is the width of the laser beam (a known value), L1 is the distance from the laser source to the receiver (a known value), and X is the horizontal distance between the reflection point detected by the receiver and the center of the laser beam, which is measured from the image captured by the receiver using image processing technology.

[0064] The tension sensor employs a modular design with a strain gauge structure, allowing for pre-assembly and easier installation and replacement. Embedded within the inner surface of the yarn guide tube, it effectively measures tension without interfering with normal equipment operation. The tension sensor utilizes a strain gauge attached to the inner surface of the yarn guide tube. When tension is applied to the yarn, the elastic element undergoes slight deformation, causing a change in the strain gauge's resistance. By measuring this resistance change, the applied tension can be calculated. The formula for calculating tension is:

[0065]

[0066] Where: ε is the relative change in strain gauge length; E is Young's modulus; A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the strain gauge; ΔR is the change in resistance; R is the initial resistance value of the strain gauge; k is the sensitivity coefficient of the strain gauge; and L is the length of the strain gauge.

[0067] A high-speed camera captures images of fibers and yarns during the spinning process at a rate of 100,000 frames per second. The camera is fixed to the outside of the vortex tube using a specialized bracket or clamp, ensuring stability and alignment with the vortex tube area. The internal spinning process is observed through the transparent portion of the vortex tube. Lenses and light sources are installed around the vortex tube to enhance image sharpness and brightness, ensuring clear spinning details are captured at high frame rates.

[0068] The image processing module uses a machine learning model to obtain fiber features and corresponding feature labels from the target image. In yarn analysis, key fiber features extracted include, but are not limited to: fiber diameter, fiber length, crimp, surface roughness, and fiber arrangement.

[0069] Specifically, the image processing module has TG capacity storage and image management functions, which can save image data and analysis results during the spinning process for a long time, facilitating quality traceability and process improvement;

[0070] The machine learning algorithm includes a convolutional neural network model, hereinafter referred to as a CNN model, which is used to process and analyze image data. Fiber features are extracted from the image data, including fiber morphology, fiber color, and fiber texture.

[0071] A machine learning model was trained using a labeled image dataset; the image dataset included normal fiber states and defective fiber states, the defective fiber states including fiber breakage and fiber fuzzing defects.

[0072] The weights of the CNN model are optimized using the backpropagation algorithm, enabling it to accurately classify and identify different fiber states.

[0073] Specifically, CNN models automatically identify and analyze fiber and yarn conditions, enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of spinning quality. Local features, such as edges and textures, are extracted by sliding convolution kernels across the image. Max pooling or average pooling is used to reduce the size of the feature map, preserving key features and reducing computational complexity. The convolution operation formula used is:

[0074] (I·K)(i·j)=∑ m ∑ n I(i+m,j+n)·K(m,n) (4)

[0075] Where i represents the current row position of the convolution kernel in the input image, j represents the current column position of the convolution kernel in the input image; m represents the row index of the convolution kernel (filter); n represents the column index of the convolution kernel (filter). I(i,j) represents the pixel value located in the i-th row and j-th column of the input image. K(m,n) represents the weight value located in the m-th row and n-th column of the convolution kernel;

[0076] The ReLU (Rectified LinearUnit) activation function is used to increase the model's non-linearity. Max pooling is used to reduce the size of the feature maps, retaining key features and reducing computational complexity.

[0077] The auxiliary design module, through the synergistic effect of process design, simulation, real-time control and feedback learning units, realizes the optimization, dynamic adjustment and intelligent improvement of spinning process, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of yarn production.

[0078] It should be noted that: the spinning process parameters are adjusted based on numerical simulation to ensure the stability of the production process and the consistency of yarn quality, and the spinning process parameters are continuously optimized and updated through machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy and efficiency of design and production.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary design module includes:

[0080] The process design unit designs and generates optimized spinning process parameters based on fiber characteristics and target yarn quality standards. By combining data-driven methods, the scientific validity and adaptability of the design parameters are ensured.

[0081] The simulation unit performs high-precision numerical simulations of different spinning process parameters, predicts the impact of each parameter on yarn quality, and automatically generates optimization suggestions to achieve fine control of the process.

[0082] The real-time control unit dynamically adjusts spinning process parameters based on real-time monitoring data. Adaptive control algorithms ensure continuous stability of the production process and high consistency in yarn quality.

[0083] The feedback learning unit, based on actual data and results from the production process, continuously optimizes and updates the spinning process model through advanced machine learning algorithms, thereby constantly improving the accuracy of process design and production efficiency, and building a closed-loop intelligent optimization system.

[0084] Specifically, the process design unit analyzes fiber characteristics and expected yarn quality to generate preliminary spinning process parameters, such as yarn twist and draft ratio. The simulation unit uses numerical simulation technology to predict the impact of different process parameters on yarn quality, such as strength and uniformity, and provides optimization suggestions. The real-time control unit feeds back data such as fiber length, yarn thickness, and tension acquired by the real-time monitoring system to the control system, adjusting process parameters in real time to ensure yarn quality. The feedback learning unit utilizes data collected during production and continuously optimizes the spinning process model through machine learning algorithms, improving the accuracy of design and production.

[0085] The intelligent control module constructs a spinning prediction model, using target parameter data and target images as input factors. The output factors of the spinning prediction model are potential influencing factors and the corresponding spinning risk status. Based on the spinning risk status, an alarm command is issued.

[0086] It should be noted that the application logic of the spinning prediction model is as follows:

[0087] The preliminary processing unit establishes a spinning prediction model, normalizes the collected target parameter data, associates the processed target parameter data with the corresponding target image, and stores it in the database.

[0088] Specifically, the normalization formula is:

[0089]

[0090] Where x is the value of the target parameter data in the historical data, μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and x' is the value of the target parameter data after normalization.

[0091] Convolutional neural networks are used to extract features such as the edges and textures of yarn from high-speed camera images.

[0092] The decision tree model is used, which selects the optimal split point to construct the tree structure based on information gain.

[0093]

[0094] Where D is the dataset, D i It is a subset segmented based on features including fiber length sensors, yarn thickness sensors, tension sensors, and high-speed cameras.

[0095] The random forest model is selected. Random forests construct multiple decision trees and then vote on or average their results to obtain the final prediction.

[0096] The Support Vector Machine (SVM) model is chosen, which classifies data by constructing a hyperplane that maximizes the margin.

[0097]

[0098] Where w is the weight vector, b is the bias, and y is the weight vector. i It's a tag, x i It is an eigenvector.

[0099] Neural networks are suitable for processing time series data, while CNNs are suitable for processing image data.

[0100] h t =σ(W·[h t-1 ,xt ]+b) (8)

[0101] Among them, h t It is in a hidden state, x t σ is the input, W and b are the weights and biases, and σ is the activation function.

[0102] The evaluation metrics used for model evaluation include accuracy, recall, and F1 score to assess model performance.

[0103]

[0104] In this model, TP (True Positive) represents a case where the actual situation is positive, and the model also predicts it as positive. For example, if a yarn break actually exists, the model correctly predicts a yarn break. TN (True Negative) represents a case where the actual situation is negative, and the model also predicts it as negative. For example, if no yarn break exists, the model correctly predicts there is no yarn break. FP (False Positive) represents a case where the actual situation is negative, but the model incorrectly predicts it as positive. For example, if no yarn break exists, the model incorrectly predicts it exists. FP (False Negative) represents a case where the actual situation is positive, but the model incorrectly predicts it as negative. For example, if a yarn break exists, the model incorrectly predicts there is no yarn break.

[0105] The model prediction unit trains a spinning prediction model to identify potential factors affecting yarn quality, analyzes real-time monitoring data of the current spinning process, predicts the spinning risk corresponding to potential factors, and issues alarm and warning commands based on the spinning risk.

[0106] The spinning risks mentioned include yarn breakage and uneven quality.

[0107] The optimization decision-making module, based on a dynamic multi-dimensional optimization algorithm, provides real-time optimization suggestions for spinning process parameters through comprehensive analysis of historical data, real-time data, and predictive models. This module automatically adjusts the weights of the optimization algorithm, estimates potential spinning risks, and continuously updates the optimization strategy through an adaptive optimization mechanism to support operators' process decisions and prevent potential problems from occurring.

[0108] The self-learning update module continuously collects and analyzes production data to automatically update and optimize the spinning prediction model, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of predictions.

[0109] In summary, this embodiment significantly improves the real-time monitoring capabilities, intelligent control level, and quality optimization effect of the spinning process. The system can detect and analyze yarn quality in real time, predict and prevent potential production problems, improve yarn consistency and stability, reduce production failures and downtime, and ultimately improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0114] Numerical simulations are performed on different spinning process parameters to determine the potential influencing factors of the current spinning process parameters on yarn quality, and optimization suggestions are generated. The spinning process parameters are then updated based on the optimization suggestions.

[0115] A spinning prediction model is constructed, with target parameter data and target image as input factors. The output factors of the spinning prediction model are potential influencing factors and the spinning risk situation corresponding to the potential influencing factors. An alarm command is issued based on the spinning risk situation.
