[0002] Color difference is of great significance in the color-coated plate industry, especially the color difference between the manufacturer's products and the standard samples is a core indicator of quality management.

[0003] At present, the color difference detection of color coated plates is carried out offline by using a colorimeter through local sampling. The local sampling method is also the color difference standard release and arbitration method defined in various standards in the world. However, its defect is that the sampling is poorly representative and cannot reflect the color difference indicators of all products. Therefore, it is necessary to install an online colorimeter on the production line to detect the color difference of products online in real time.

[0045] Figure 1 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for measuring color difference online, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] (1) After receiving the product color of the next product, check whether the current product color already exists in the color database. If not, enter the next product color into the color database, calculate the initial joint calibration coefficient of the product color, and execute step (3). If it exists, directly execute step (2);

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the colors of all color-coated plates are identified by color identification, and the color database stores the color information of different product colors and their current joint calibration coefficients. The color information includes: color identification and its corresponding standard color chromaticity L, A, B. When the color identification of the next product does not exist in the color database, the color identification of the next product is formed based on the set rules, and the standard color chromaticity L, A, B of the next product is entered; the joint calibration coefficient of the color chromaticity collected by the online colorimeter relative to the standard color chromaticity is calculated, and the joint calibration coefficient is the initial joint calibration coefficient of the current color. The method for determining the initial joint calibration coefficient of the current color is as follows:

[0048] (11) Before production, enter the standard color chromaticity L, A, B of the next product into the online colorimeter;

[0049] (12) placing the color standard sample into the sample slot of the online colorimeter for measurement to obtain the color chromaticity measurement value of the color standard sample;

[0050] (13) The difference between the color chromaticity measurement value of the color standard sample and the standard color chromaticity L, A, B is used as the initial joint calibration coefficient of the next product color.

[0051] (2) The online colorimeter retrieves the standard color chromaticity of the next product color and its current joint calibration coefficient;

[0052] (3) The online colorimeter detects the product color chromaticity L1, A1, B1 of the product in real time online, and after starting the color detection of the next product, calculates the color chromaticity difference ΔL1, ΔA1, ΔB1 ​​between the detected product color chromaticity L1, A1, B1 and the corresponding standard color chromaticity;

[0053] (4) Correct the color chromaticity difference values ​​ΔL1, ΔA1, and ΔB1 based on the current joint calibration coefficient of the product color, and output the corrected color chromaticity difference values ​​ΔL1′, ΔA1′, and ΔB1′.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formulas of the corrected color chromaticity differences ΔL1′, ΔA1′, and ΔB1′ are specifically as follows:

[0055] ΔL1′=ΔL1-L * ;

[0056] ΔA1′=ΔA1-A * ;

[0062] (7) Calculate the current joint coefficient L of the product color * , A * , B * , update the joint calibration coefficient corresponding to the color identifier of the product color in the color database to the current joint calibration coefficient L * , A * , B * .

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the use environment of the offline colorimeter is more stable than that of the online colorimeter, the color chromaticity difference between the product color chromaticity and the standard color chromaticity collected by the offline colorimeter is relatively more accurate. Therefore, the color chromaticity difference values ​​ΔL2, ΔA2, and ΔB2 of the product color chromaticity detected by the offline colorimeter and the corresponding standard color chromaticity are used as standard color chromaticity differences, and the color chromaticity difference values ​​ΔL1′, ΔA1′, and ΔB1′ obtained in real time through detection by the online colorimeter are used as measurement values ​​to calculate the current joint calibration coefficient L of the product color. * , A * , B * , the current joint coefficient L of the product color * , A * , B * The calculation formula is as follows:

[0064] L * =ΔL′1-ΔL2;
