The leather softening method according to claim 6, characterized in that: According to the bending rebound characteristic value of the leather, it is determined whether the leather processing meets the preset standard, wherein: If the bending rebound characteristic value is less than the preset bending rebound threshold value, it is determined that the leather processing does not meet the preset standard, and the vibration frequency of the oscillation softening machine is increased according to the difference between the preset bending rebound threshold value and the bending rebound characteristic value; If the bending rebound characteristic value is greater than or equal to the preset bending rebound threshold value, it is determined that the processing of the leather meets the preset standard, and the leather that meets the preset standard is polished and dried.

8. The leather softening method according to claim 7, characterized in that: The process of obtaining the bending springback characteristic value includes: Use a leather bending tester to bend the leather placed horizontally at a preset angle; After maintaining the preset angle for a preset time, record the bending recovery angle; The ratio of the bending recovery angle to the bending preset angle is recorded as the bending rebound characteristic value.

9. The leather softening method according to claim 8, characterized in that: The increase amplitude of the vibration frequency of the oscillating stretching machine is positively correlated with the bending rebound difference, wherein the bending rebound difference is the difference between a preset bending rebound threshold and a bending rebound characteristic value.

10. The leather softening method according to claim 9, characterized in that: Under the first preset condition, several frequency correction methods are provided for the correction of the vibration frequency of the oscillation stretching machine, among which: If the surface gloss difference is less than a first preset surface gloss difference, the vibration frequency of the oscillation stretching machine is corrected using a first correction coefficient; If the surface gloss difference is greater than or equal to the first preset surface gloss difference and less than the second preset surface gloss difference, the vibration frequency of the oscillation stretching machine is corrected using the second correction coefficient; If the surface gloss difference is greater than or equal to the second preset surface gloss difference, the vibration frequency of the oscillation stretching machine is corrected using a third correction coefficient; The first preset condition is that the surface glossiness of the leather is less than a preset surface glossiness after the vibration frequency of the oscillation softening machine is increased; The surface glossiness of the leather is obtained by glossiness values ​​of several sampling points.
