[0022] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a paint color mixing system provided in an embodiment of the present application; DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0024] At present, with the rapid development of the architectural coatings market, many people like to use paint to paint the walls when decorating their houses. The corresponding paint color matching is becoming more and more common. Ideal color matching can make people's living environment warmer and more comfortable. As the adjustable colors of paint become more and more abundant, color difference is also constantly occurring. According to statistics, the causes of color difference usually include three types of reasons. The first type of reason is color matching operation errors and improper construction. The second type of reason is the batch problem of the paint base paint. The third reason is the paint color matching system problem.
[0025] In the use of the color matching system, through communication with sales staff and related customer complaint handling, the inventor found that there are many series of paint products with complicated names. In the sales or application process, negligence often leads to inaccurate input of names, which in turn leads to a huge difference between the target color card and the actual paint color card. At the same time, the amount of paint color matching data in the paint color matching database is huge, and the information is complicated and redundant. When the paint products are matched, due to too many paint products and too similar paint product names, it is very easy for the colorist to choose the wrong product and specification, resulting in color difference problems.
[0026] The following will describe in detail a paint color mixing system provided by an embodiment of the present application in combination with a specific implementation method. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a paint color mixing system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the paint color mixing system 100 includes a paint color mixing machine 110 and a barcode scanner 120. The barcode scanner 120 is used to scan the graphic code on the paint can and send the scanned graphic code information to the paint color mixing machine 110. The paint color mixing machine 110 is used to query the paint product name, paint actual filling capacity and paint canning unit corresponding to the graphic code information in the pre-stored paint product information table. The paint color mixing machine 110 is also used to receive the color card code input by the colorist, and query the color paste name and unit color paste amount of each color mixing paste corresponding to the color card code and the paint product name in the pre-stored color mixing formula table. The paint color mixing machine 110 is also used to determine the target color paste amount of each color mixing paste according to the unit color paste amount, paint actual filling capacity and paint canning unit of the color mixing paste, and color the paint based on the target color paste amount of each color mixing paste.
[0027] In implementation, when a colorist needs to color a can of paint purchased by a customer, the colorist can use a barcode scanner 120 to scan the graphic code printed on the paint can. Among them, the graphic code is used to uniquely identify a paint can. The graphic code can be a barcode, a QR code, or other forms of graphic codes, which are not limited in this application. After the barcode scanner 120 scans the graphic code on the paint can, the scanned graphic code information can be further sent to the paint color machine 110. Among them, the paint color machine 110 can be connected to the barcode scanner 120 via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data cable. Specifically, the host on the paint color machine 110 can be connected to the barcode scanner 120 via a USB data cable. In this way, the graphic code on the paint can is scanned by the barcode scanner 120, which can be used to query specific paint products and specifications. The accurate identification of the barcode scanner 120 can avoid the color difference caused by the wrong product and color number selected due to overly complicated product information and manual screening of products.
[0028] After receiving the graphic code information, the paint color mixing machine 110 can query the paint product name, paint actual capacity and paint canning unit corresponding to the graphic code information in the pre-stored paint product information table. The paint canning unit can include two units: L (liter) or KG (kilogram).
[0029] Optionally, the coating product information table may include the corresponding relationship between the coating product name, coating density, can name, can capacity, actual coating capacity, coating canning unit and graphic code information. The coating product information table is shown in Table 1.
[0030] Table 1
[0031]
[0032] The colorist inputs the color card code into the paint color mixing machine 110 according to the color card selected by the user. Accordingly, after receiving the color card code input by the colorist, the paint color mixing machine 110 can query the color paste name and unit color paste amount of each color mixing paste corresponding to the color card code and the paint product name in the pre-stored color mixing formula table. Among them, the unit color paste amount of the color mixing paste is the amount of color paste required to color each unit (usually 1L or 1KG) of the paint product to the color corresponding to the color card code. Then, the paint color mixing machine 110 determines the target color paste amount of the color mixing paste for each color mixing paste according to the unit color paste amount of the color mixing paste, the actual coating capacity and the coating canning unit. After that, the colorist places the paint tank to be colored in the paint color mixing machine 110, and the paint color mixing machine 110 can control the color paste pump of each color mixing paste to pump the target color paste amount of the color mixing paste into the paint tank to be colored to color the paint. The value of the target color paste amount is the product of the unit color paste amount and the actual coating capacity, and the unit of the target color paste amount is the coating canning unit.
[0033] Optionally, the color formula table may include a corresponding relationship between a coating product name, a color card code, a color paste name, and a unit color paste amount. The color formula table is shown in Table 2.
[0034] Table 2
[0035]
[0036] The paint color matching system of the present application has the following advantages: (1) Good serviceability. When matching colors in a retail store, users can choose the color of the color card by themselves, and can quickly match colors. The color diversification can improve the service connotation and enhance the brand image. No professional color matching personnel are required. Ordinary shopping guides can complete the color matching service after a little training, which greatly reduces the error rate of manual product selection. (2) Simple operation. The colorist simply scans the graphic code label on the paint can with a barcode scanner and enters the color card code to quickly and accurately obtain the paint product name, paint specifications (such as actual paint capacity, paint canning unit, etc.), and color matching color paste dosage, and completes the operation easily. (3) Strong color stability. The color formula is fixed, and the customer confirms the color on site, reducing the possibility of color complaints. There is no human factor influence, and the color reproducibility is good. (4) Cost saving. The formula is reasonable and there is no color adjustment process, thereby saving color matching color paste. (5) Environmental protection. Reduce the cleaning process and protect the environment. (6) Color value-added. Due to the wide range of color options, fast color matching speed and accurate color, it can attract more consumers and promote the demand for paint color matching. (7) Improve industry competitiveness, with a wide range of color options, no color difference, and simple and easy color matching to attract more customers.
[0037] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the paint color mixing system 100 further includes a cloud server 130 for storing the paint product information table and the color mixing formula table. The paint color mixing machine 110 is also used to download the paint product information table and the color mixing formula table from the cloud server 130.
[0038] In implementation, in order to facilitate the unified management of the material product information table and the color formula table, the paint product information table and the color formula table can be stored in the cloud server 130 hosted by a third party. When the administrator needs to update the paint product information table and the color formula table, the administrator can directly update the paint product information table and the color formula table stored in the cloud server 130. The paint color mixing machine 110 can download a new paint product information table and a color formula table from the cloud server 130 in an active or passive manner to update the old paint product information table and the color formula table stored locally. In this way, the administrator only needs to update the paint product information table and the color formula table stored in the cloud server 130 to achieve the update of the paint product information table and the color formula table in all paint color mixing machines 110. Among them, the paint color mixing machine 110 can be interconnected with the cloud server 130 via the Internet.
[0039] As an optional implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the paint coloring system 100 also includes a paint data management device 140. The paint data management device 140 is used to construct a paint product information table and a coloring formula table based on the paint information entered by the administrator, and upload the paint product information table and the coloring formula table to the cloud server 130. The paint data management device 140 is also used to convert the data format of the paint product information table and the coloring formula table into a data format recognized by the paint coloring machine 110.
[0040] In implementation, the administrator can enter the paint information, including the paint product name, paint density, can name, can capacity, paint actual capacity, paint canning unit, graphic code information, color card code, color paste name and unit color paste amount into the paint data management device 140. Then, the paint data management device 140 can analyze, check, merge, clean and integrate the entered paint information, and construct a paint product information table and a color mixing formula table. Then, the paint data management device 140 converts the data format of the paint product information table and the color mixing formula table into a data format recognized by the paint color mixing machine 110, and uploads it to the cloud server 130.
[0041] The present application provides a paint coloring system, which includes a paint coloring machine and a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is used to scan the graphic code on the paint can and send the scanned graphic code information to the paint coloring machine. The paint coloring machine is used to query the paint product name, paint actual filling capacity and paint canning unit corresponding to the graphic code information in the pre-stored paint product information table. The paint coloring machine is also used to receive the color card code input by the colorist, and query the color paste name and unit color paste amount of each coloring paste corresponding to the color card code and the paint product name in the pre-stored coloring formula table. The paint coloring machine is also used to determine the target color paste amount of each coloring paste according to the unit color paste amount, paint actual filling capacity and paint canning unit of the coloring paste, and color the paint based on the target color paste amount of each coloring paste. In this way, the paint coloring system can achieve the purpose of high coloring efficiency, high precision and reduced coloring errors, and effectively reduce the coloring cost. At the same time, the paint color matching system also has the characteristics of fast color matching speed, saving labor costs, less material waste, convenient formula storage and management, and quick start-up (reducing personnel requirements and personnel training costs), thus realizing the intelligent and simple color matching of paint.
