The entire packing production of the material can be implemented based on the technical solution provided in this embodiment. It should be noted that the material cabinet is a storage device, and the material conveying equipment can be a conveyor belt. The material conveying equipment is used to transfer the material in the storage device to the packing line for packing.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a packing control method provided according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to packing materials. The method can be executed by a packing control device. The packing control device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The packing control device can be configured in a packing control system. The packing control system includes at least one material storage device, a packing line corresponding to the material storage device, and a material conveying device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110 . In response to a cabinet feeding completion event, determine a target storage device corresponding to the cabinet feeding completion event.

[0033] The cabinet feeding completion event refers to an event used to trigger a determination of whether the material packing task can be performed.

[0034] In this embodiment, when a signal is received from an upstream process that a certain storage device has been loaded with materials, it is considered that the cabinet feeding completion event is monitored. Alternatively, it is also possible to identify whether each storage device has completed feeding through identification technology, and if it is identified that a certain storage device has completed feeding, it is considered that the cabinet feeding completion event is monitored. At this time, the storage device that has currently completed feeding can be used as the target storage device.

[0035] S120, obtaining packing status information of a packing control system, and determining storage cabinet status information of a target storage device and cigarette box distribution information of a target packing line corresponding to the target storage device.

[0036] Among them, the packing status information can be used to characterize the production status information of the packing control system, such as the packing status information including but not limited to being packed, ready to pack, packing end, closed, idle, and faulty. The cabinet status information can be used to characterize the material situation in the storage device. For example, the cabinet status information includes but is not limited to the current material capacity of the storage device (such as occupied space and remaining space), the temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions of the storage device, and the working state of the storage device (such as feeding status, discharging status, whether it is full, whether it is in use, etc.). The target packing line can be composed of one or more sub-equipment combined into a line for packing materials. For example, the sub-equipment includes a packing machine, a sealing machine, a palletizer, and the like. It should be noted that a packing line can correspond to one or more storage devices, for example, storage device A, storage device B, and storage device C corresponding to packing line No. 1; storage device D, storage device E, and storage device F corresponding to packing line No. 2. The cigarette box distribution information can be used to characterize the distribution of the cigarette boxes on the packing line. For example, the cigarette box distribution information includes but is not limited to the space occupancy attributes, stacking attributes, and congestion of the cigarette boxes on the packing line.

[0037] In this embodiment, the packing line corresponding to the target storage device can be used as the target packing line. Further, the packing status information can be read from the packing control system, and the storage cabinet status information of the target storage device and the distribution of cigarette boxes on the target packing line can be identified to obtain the cigarette box distribution information.

[0038] In order to improve the efficiency of packaging production, image recognition and processing technology can be combined to determine the cabinet status information of the target storage device and the cigarette box distribution information of the target packaging line. The implementation method can be: based on the camera device, a first image including the target storage device is collected, and the cabinet status information is determined based on the first image; based on the camera device, a second image including the target packaging line corresponding to the target storage device is collected, and the cigarette box distribution information is determined based on the second image.

[0039] The storage cabinet status information includes at least one of feeding, feeding completed, discharging, and discharging completed.

[0040] In this embodiment, a camera device may be arranged on the target storage device and the target packing line, respectively. In this way, the camera device may be used to collect images including the target storage device in real time or periodically, and the collected images may be used as the first image. Furthermore, the first image may be input into a pre-trained cabinet state recognition model, and the material features in the target storage device may be extracted from the first image to obtain the cabinet state information. Correspondingly, the camera device may be used to collect images including the target packing line in real time or periodically, and the collected images may be used as the second image, and the second image may be input into a pre-trained cigarette box distribution recognition model, and the cigarette box features on the packing line may be extracted from the second image to obtain the cigarette box distribution information. Optionally, the cabinet state recognition model and the cigarette box distribution recognition model may be deep learning models (such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, MXNet, etc.), or machine learning models (such as support vector machines, random forests, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks, etc.), and the specific model structure is not limited.

[0041] S130: When it is determined that a preset packing condition is met based on the storage cabinet status information, the cigarette box distribution information and the packing status information, a packing start instruction is generated.

[0042] The preset packing condition may refer to a condition for determining whether packing production can be started. The packing start instruction may be used to instruct the execution of packing production. The packing start instruction may include the identification of the target storage device, the type and quantity of the materials to be packed in the target storage device, the identification of the target packing line, and packing requirement information (such as packing sequence, packing quantity), etc.

[0043] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the cabinet status information, the cigarette box distribution information, and the packing status information meet the preset packing conditions. If so, it can be considered that the packing production is allowed to start. At this time, a packing start instruction can be generated to start the packing process of the material through the packing start instruction. After determining that the preset packing conditions are met, the cabinet identification of the target storage device and the identification of the material to be packed, the first image corresponding to the target storage device, the second image corresponding to the target packing line, and other information can be displayed on the visual touch system, so that the user can determine whether to start the packing production in combination with the displayed information. When receiving feedback information from the user allowing the start of the packing production, a packing start instruction can be generated to automatically start the subsequent packing process based on the packing start instruction.

[0044] Exemplarily, based on the cabinet status information, cigarette box distribution information, and packing status information, the cabinet number (i.e., cabinet identification) and the currently producible brand (i.e., identification of the material to be packed) of the target storage equipment that meets the preset packing conditions are analyzed, and prompt information is given, so that the user can select the target storage equipment and start production after confirming that the prompt information is correct, and issue a packing start instruction to send a cabinet start signal to the cabinet PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to control the start of packing.

[0045] In this embodiment, based on the cabinet status information, the cigarette box distribution information and the packing status information, it is determined that the preset packing conditions are met, including: when the cabinet status information is that feeding is completed, the cigarette box distribution information is the preset first distribution threshold and the packing status information is that preparation is completed, it is determined that the preset packing conditions are met.

[0046] The preset first distribution threshold may be a value for indicating no cigarette boxes. For example, the preset first distribution threshold is 0, indicating no cigarette boxes on the packing line. A larger value indicates a greater number of cigarette boxes on the packing line.

[0047] Specifically, it can be determined whether the cabinet status information is completed feeding, whether the cigarette box distribution information is the preset first distribution threshold, and whether the packing status information is completed preparation. If these conditions are met, it can be determined that the preset packing conditions are met. The advantage of this setting is that by combining the cabinet status information, cigarette box distribution information and packing status information of the entire packing production process, it is comprehensively determined whether to start the material packing production, which can effectively improve the packing safety and production efficiency.

[0048] S140 , based on the packing start instruction, control the materials to be packed in the target material storage device to be transported to the target packing line via the material conveying device, so as to pack the received materials to be packed on the target packing line.

[0049] In this embodiment, the target material storage device can be started to discharge materials based on the packing start instruction, so that the materials to be packed in the target material storage device can be transported to the target packing line through the material conveying equipment, and the packing process can be performed on the target packing line, thereby realizing the automatic start of packing production.

[0050] It should be further explained that during the entire packing process, abnormal situations may occur, such as equipment failure, abnormal transportation, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure the packing production efficiency and improve its safety, the current feeding status of the material conveying equipment can be determined during the packing process of the received materials to be packed based on the target packing line; if an abnormality is determined based on at least one of the current feeding status, the current cabinet status information of the target storage device, and the current packing status information of the packing control system, an abnormal prompt information is generated and fed back.

[0051] Among them, the current feeding state can be used to characterize the feeding situation of the material conveying equipment. For example, the feeding state can be the feeding speed, whether there is material shortage, whether there is material blockage, whether there is material, etc.

[0052] In this embodiment, the current feeding state of the material conveying device can be obtained by collecting an image including the material conveying device and identifying the image. After determining the current feeding state of the material conveying device, it can be determined whether there is an abnormality by combining the current cabinet state information of the target storage device and the current packing state information of the packing control system. If there is an abnormality, corresponding abnormal prompt information can be generated according to the abnormal judgment result. For example, the abnormal prompt information can be: "The material conveying device is stagnant, please check the cause of the fault", "The material conveying device is blocked, please check the material situation", "The packing control system has a communication failure, please check the network connection". The abnormal prompt information can be fed back to the interface of the visual touch system, and the abnormal prompt information can be displayed in real time, so that the operator can quickly locate the problem and take corresponding processing methods, such as restarting the equipment, clearing the blockage, adjusting parameters, etc.; the abnormal prompt information can also be fed back to the sound and light alarm device to remind the operator to pay attention; or, the abnormal prompt information can be sent to the terminal device or mailbox of the relevant personnel so that the operator can be informed and processed in time.

[0053] The advantage of this setting is that by monitoring the feeding status of the material conveying equipment and combining the status information of the target storage equipment and the packing control system, it can detect whether there is any abnormality, so that abnormal conditions in the packing process can be discovered and handled in time to ensure the normal operation of the packing line. At the same time, through an effective feedback mechanism, the efficiency and accuracy of abnormality handling can be further improved.

[0054] During the packing process, in order to ensure the stability and efficiency of the system, an abnormality may be determined when at least one of the following conditions occurs:

[0055] One is to determine that an abnormality exists when the current feeding state is a preset feeding state and the current storage cabinet state information is discharging material; the preset feeding state includes a no-material state or a lack-of-material state.

[0056] It is understandable that when the cabinet status information of the target storage device shows that the material is being discharged, but the material conveying device is in a state of no material or lack of material, it means that the storage device is discharging slowly, which may be caused by the blockage of the material conveying path or the blockage of the discharge port of the storage device. Therefore, it can be determined that there is an abnormality.

[0057] The other is to determine that an abnormality exists when the current feeding state is a blocking state.

[0058] It is understandable that when the material conveying equipment is in a blocked state, that is, the material is blocked during the conveying process and cannot continue to be conveyed, it will directly affect the continuity and efficiency of the packing process. Therefore, it can be determined that there is an abnormality at this time.

[0059] The other is to determine that an abnormality exists when the current packing status information is in an abnormal state.

[0060] It is understandable that when the current packing status information of the packing control system shows an abnormal state, it may be due to abnormal conditions such as packing program error, packing equipment failure, sensor failure or communication failure, and it can also be determined that an abnormality exists at this time.

[0061] In this embodiment, different abnormal prompt information can be generated according to specific abnormalities in different situations, and different processing methods can be given to ensure the efficiency of packaging production.

[0062] In order to further ensure the precise control of the packing process and improve the packing production efficiency, it is also possible to generate a packing end instruction when it is determined that the preset end condition is met based on the current feeding status of the material conveying equipment, the current cabinet status information of the target storage equipment and at least one of the current cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line during the process of packing the received materials to be packed on the target packing line; and based on the packing end instruction, the target storage equipment and the material conveying equipment are controlled to be in a stopped working state.

[0063] Specifically, it is possible to determine whether the preset end condition is currently reached by combining the current feeding state of the material conveying equipment, the current storage cabinet state information of the target storage equipment, and the current cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line. If the preset end condition is reached, it means that the packing production can be stopped, and a packing end instruction is generated. The packing end instruction is sent to the controller of the target storage equipment and the material conveying equipment, so that the target storage equipment and the material conveying equipment are in a stopped working state, and the packing production is automatically stopped.

[0064] The advantage of this setting is that it can ensure that during the packing process of the received materials to be packed on the target packing line, when the preset end conditions are met, the packing end instructions can be accurately and timely generated, and the relevant equipment can be controlled to stop working, thereby realizing one-click end of packing production.

[0065] In order to stop the packing production in time during the packing process, it can be determined that the preset end condition is reached when at least one of the following situations occurs:

[0066] One is to determine that a preset end condition is reached when the current feeding state is a no-material state and the current storage cabinet state information is that the discharge is completed.

[0067] It is understandable that when the current feeding state of the material conveying device is in the no-material state, it indicates that there is no material to be packed on the material conveying device. When the current storage cabinet state information of the target storage device is completed unloading, it indicates that the material in the storage device has been completely taken out. In this case, it can be considered that all the materials in the target storage device have been packed, and it can be determined that the preset end condition has been reached.

[0068] The other is to determine that a preset end condition is reached when the cigarette box distribution information reaches a preset second distribution threshold.

[0069] It is understandable that when it is detected that the cigarette box distribution information reaches the preset second distribution threshold, it can be considered that the number of packings on the target packing line has reached the preset target or all materials to be packed have been processed, and then it can be considered that the packing is completed, that is, the preset end condition is met.

[0070] The technical solution of this embodiment determines the target storage device corresponding to the storage cabinet feeding end event in response to the storage cabinet feeding end event; obtains the packing status information of the packing control system, and determines the storage cabinet status information of the target storage device and the cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line corresponding to the target storage device; generates a packing start instruction when it is determined that the preset packing conditions are met based on the storage cabinet status information, the cigarette box distribution information and the packing status information; controls the transportation of the to-be-packed materials in the target storage device to the target packing line via the material conveying equipment based on the packing start instruction, so as to pack the received to-be-packed materials on the target packing line The invention solves the problem in the prior art that the packing steps are confirmed by manually checking the material status, which leads to low packing production efficiency. The invention realizes that when responding to the cabinet feeding end event, the target storage device corresponding to the cabinet feeding end event is determined, and then, the packing status information of the packing control system, the cabinet status information of the target storage device and the cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line corresponding to the target storage device are combined to comprehensively determine whether the preset packing conditions are met. When it is detected that the preset packing conditions are met, a packing start instruction is generated, and the packing production is automatically started based on the packing start instruction, so as to achieve the technical effect of reducing costs and improving production efficiency.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] As an optional embodiment of the above embodiment, in order to make those skilled in the art further understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a specific application scenario example is given. For details, please refer to the following specific content.

[0073] For example, see Figure 2, the packing control method provided in this embodiment can be implemented based on the packing control system. Among them, the packing control system includes 6 storage devices, A line feeding belt conveyor (i.e. material conveying equipment), B line feeding belt conveyor (i.e. material conveying equipment), A packing line and B packing line, image processing equipment and silk making centralized control server, control device and visual touch system. Cameras No. 1 to 6 can be installed at the tail of 6 storage devices respectively to shoot the material storage conditions in the storage devices. Cameras No. 7 and No. 8 are installed on the A line feeding belt conveyor and the B line feeding belt conveyor respectively to shoot the conditions during the material conveying process. The third image set taken by cameras No. 7 and No. 8 from the material conveying equipment is obtained by the image processing device, and the feeding state recognition model is obtained by training with the identification of feeding state information as the training target. Cameras No. 9 and No. 10 are installed above the A packing line and above the B packing line respectively to shoot the distribution of cigarette boxes on the packing line. The first image set captured by the camera devices No. 1 to No. 6 from each storage device is obtained by the image processing device, and the cabinet state recognition model is obtained by training to identify the cabinet state information. The image set captured by the camera devices No. 9 and No. 10 from the packing line is obtained by the image processing device, and the cigarette box distribution information is identified as the training target, and the cigarette box distribution recognition model is obtained by training. In practical applications, the image processing device processes the images collected by each camera device, obtains the cabinet state information of the target storage device through the cabinet state recognition model, obtains the cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line through the cigarette box distribution recognition model, and obtains the current feeding state of the material conveying device through the feeding state recognition model. At the same time, the image processing device can provide a corresponding interface to communicate with the silk production centralized control server, and send the cabinet state information, cigarette box distribution information and current feeding state to the silk production centralized control server according to preset conditions, so that the silk production centralized control server determines whether to start or stop the packing production according to the received information, and performs fault monitoring during the packing production process. Among them, the preset condition can be a preset sending frequency, so that the image processing equipment can send identification information to the silk production centralized control server at a fixed time according to the preset sending frequency; the preset sending frequency can also be dynamically updated according to the total amount of materials in the storage equipment to ensure the timeliness of monitoring while ensuring the accuracy of monitoring. Alternatively, the preset condition can also be a condition that satisfies the change of identification information. In this way, when the cabinet status information of the target storage equipment, the current feeding status of the material conveying equipment, and the cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line change, the changed information is sent to the silk production centralized control server. Furthermore, the silk production centralized control server can transmit signals such as packing start instructions and packing end instructions to the control device to control the start or stop of production, and display abnormal prompt information or image information on the visual touch system.

[0074] The technical solution provided in this embodiment provides comprehensive and efficient reference data for the centralized control server and central control operation users of the packing production line by deploying camera devices in the entire packing production process and using image digitization and artificial intelligence technology to identify the cabinet status information of the storage equipment, the current feeding status of the material conveying equipment and the cigarette box distribution information of the packing line. It not only solves the problem of low efficiency of relying on on-site users for identification in the existing packing production mode, but also effectively improves the automation and intelligence level of the packing production process, improves production efficiency, ensures the operating stability and safety of the production line, and avoids production accidents caused by erroneous materials.

[0075] Embodiment 3

[0076] Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a packing control device provided according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The device can be configured in a packing control system, wherein the packing control system includes at least one material storage device, a packing line corresponding to the material storage device, and a material conveying device; Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a target storage device determination module 210, an information determination module 220, a packing start instruction determination module 230 and a control module 240.

The invention realizes that when responding to the cabinet feeding end event, the target storage device corresponding to the cabinet feeding end event is determined, and then, the packing status information of the packing control system, the cabinet status information of the target storage device and the cigarette box distribution information of the target packing line corresponding to the target storage device are combined to comprehensively determine whether the preset packing conditions are met.
