Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of submarine cable detection, and in particular to a submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional submarine cable manufacturing process, the wrapping tape is an important component of the submarine cable, and its quality is directly related to the overall performance of the submarine cable and the service life of the final product. However, during the wrapping production process, the wrapping tape may have various defects such as breakage, dislocation, uneven thickness, etc. If these problems are not discovered and handled in time, they will seriously affect the quality of the submarine cable and the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0003] At present, most submarine cable manufacturers still use traditional manual visual inspection to check the quality of the cable wrapping tape after wrapping. Although this method is intuitive and easy to implement, it has many shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, the speed of manual inspection is limited by the operator's work efficiency and cannot meet the needs of high-speed continuous operation on modern production lines; on the other hand, due to differences in people's subjective judgment and the influence of the working environment (such as fatigue, light changes, etc.), the accuracy of the inspection results is difficult to guarantee, which is prone to false detection or missed detection.

[0004] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and intelligence, traditional manual inspection methods have become increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for product quality control. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system and detection method to achieve automatic identification, positioning, recording and early warning of various defects in the production process, thereby improving production quality and efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0008] The submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system of the present invention is provided by setting up an image acquisition unit, a wrapping tape positioning unit, an image processing unit, a wrapping tape defect recognition unit, a control unit, a data storage unit, and an alarm unit, wherein the image acquisition unit, the wrapping tape positioning unit and the image processing unit are connected by telecommunication, the image processing unit is connected by telecommunication to the wrapping tape defect recognition unit, the defect recognition unit is connected by telecommunication to the control unit, and the control unit is connected by telecommunication to the data storage unit and the alarm unit. When the system is running, the image acquisition unit and the wrapping tape positioning unit firstly collect wrapping images and position information in real time respectively; then, the image processing unit pre-processes the collected wrapping images and integrates them with the position information obtained by the wrapping tape positioning unit to form wrapping image information; next, The image processing unit transmits this information to the wrapping tape defect recognition unit, which is responsible for detecting whether there are wrapping defects on the wrapping layer of the submarine cable after wrapping, and classifies the defective wrapping image information according to the specific manifestation of the defect when the wrapping defect is detected. The classified defect information will be transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit will then send an alarm instruction to the alarm unit; at the same time, the control unit will also store the classified defect image information including time, batch information and alarm records in the data storage unit; this system integrates image acquisition, processing, analysis and alarm functions, and realizes automatic, efficient and accurate detection of wrapping tape defects on the submarine cable wrapping layer, significantly improving the detection efficiency and accuracy, and reducing product quality problems caused by wrapping tape defects. The application of automated detection methods not only reduces labor costs, but also reduces the possible impact of human factors on the detection results.

[0009] Furthermore, the submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system also includes a host computer, which is electrically connected to the control unit; when a wrapping defect is detected, the control unit will transmit specific information of the defect to the host computer, and this information will be displayed on the operation interface of the host computer; the host computer can directly retrieve the defect image information, position information, alarm information and related production information of the wrapping tape from the data storage unit through the electrical signal connection between the control unit and the data storage unit, which enables technicians to evaluate and analyze the detection effect of the system based on these detailed feedback information, and then optimize and adjust the submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system and method thereof. In this way, it not only helps to improve the production process of the submarine cable wrapping layer, but also further improves the overall quality of the product.

[0010] Furthermore, the submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system also includes a wrapping machine, and the switch of the wrapping machine is electrically connected to the control unit; when a wrapping defect is detected, the control unit will immediately issue an instruction to stop the wrapping machine by controlling the switch of the wrapping machine so that technicians can repair the defective wrapping tape in time, ensuring that the production line can respond quickly when a problem is found, avoiding the continued production of defective products, thereby effectively improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the image acquisition unit and the wrapping tape positioning unit are arranged at the same position of the submarine cable wrapping production line to ensure that the pictures acquired by the image acquisition unit correspond one to one with the position information acquired by the wrapping tape positioning unit, thereby ensuring a high degree of synchronization between the image data and the position data, thereby making subsequent image processing and defect identification more accurate and reliable.

At the same time, an alarm is issued and the wrapping machine is shut down.

[0042] A method for detecting defects in a submarine cable wrapping tape based on a submarine cable wrapping tape defect detection system comprises the following steps:

[0043] (1) Constructing a database of wrapping tape defects;
