[0009] Furthermore, the digital printing module includes an ink supply unit, an ink return unit and a printing unit. The ink supply unit is used to control the ink supply to the printing unit, the ink return unit is used to control the ink reflux, and the printing unit includes a print head for printing, and the print head adopts a dual negative pressure print head.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific process of comparing the detection image with the standard printed image includes: using a binary method to extract and segment the printed area in the detection image and the printed area in the standard printed image and mark them as detection area and standard area respectively, performing overlap comparison on the detection area and the standard area and marking the maximum value of the overlapping area between the detection area and the standard area as a compliance value, marking the ratio of the compliance value to the area value of the detection area as a compliance coefficient of the detection image, obtaining a compliance threshold through a storage module, and comparing the compliance coefficient with the compliance threshold: if the compliance coefficient is greater than or equal to the compliance threshold, it is determined that the printing effect of the detection image corresponding to the detection object meets the requirements, the corresponding detection image is marked as a normal image, and the normal image is sent to the chromaticity detection module; if the compliance coefficient is less than the compliance threshold, it is determined that the printing effect of the detection image corresponding to the detection object does not meet the requirements, and the corresponding detection image is marked as an abnormal image.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific process of performing abnormal processing analysis on abnormal images includes: overlapping the abnormal image with the standard printed image and placing them in a grid diagram of the same rectangular coordinate system, the grids in the grid diagram correspond to the pixel grids, and marking the grids in the grid diagram of the rectangular coordinate system as re-qualified, deviation grids or blank grids; forming a deviation combination from the deviation grids that are in contact with each other, and determining whether there is a re-qualified grid among the grids that are in contact with the deviation grids at the edge of the deviation combination: if so, determining that the detection object corresponding to the abnormal image has a printing deviation phenomenon, generating a pressure difference adjustment signal and sending the pressure difference adjustment signal to the mobile phone terminal of the administrator; if not, determining that the detection object corresponding to the abnormal image has an ink leakage phenomenon, generating an ink leakage processing signal and sending the ink leakage processing signal to the mobile phone terminal of the administrator.

[0013] Furthermore, the specific process of the chromaticity detection module for detecting and analyzing the color transition smoothness of the printed pattern of the product that has completed the printing process includes: obtaining the color requirement value of the normal image and determining whether the normal image has the necessity of smoothing analysis through the color requirement value, and performing smoothing analysis on the normal image when it is necessary: ​​setting a scanning frame of L1*L2 specifications in the upper left corner of the normal image, where L1*L2 indicates that the shape of the scanning frame is a rectangular frame with a length of L1 pixels and a width of L2 pixels; performing horizontal scanning processing on the scanning frame and obtaining a horizontal smoothing value HP; performing vertical scanning processing on the scanning frame and obtaining a vertical smoothing value HP.

[0027] 3. By performing abnormal processing analysis on abnormal images, the abnormal printing effect features of the abnormal images can be extracted, and then corresponding processing signals can be generated according to the extracted abnormal printing effect features to improve the abnormal processing efficiency of the UV digital printing machine;

[0028] 4. The chromaticity detection module can be used to detect and analyze the color transition smoothness of the printed pattern of the product that has completed the printing process. The necessity of smoothing analysis of the normal image can be determined based on the color requirement value. Then, when necessary, the normal image can be smoothed and the smoothing coefficient can be obtained. The smoothing coefficient can be used to evaluate the smoothness of the local color transition of the normal image. When the color transition smoothness is abnormal, timely feedback and optimization can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
