[0002] Ultrasonic sewing machines use high-frequency oscillation to transmit sound waves to the welding surface of the workpiece, which instantly causes the molecules of the workpiece to produce friction, reaching the melting point of the plastic, thereby achieving rapid dissolution and welding of solid materials. This welding method makes the strength of the joint close to that of a whole piece of connected materials. As long as the joint surface of the product is designed to match, it can be completely sealed.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the ultrasonic suturing machine uses a set program to straighten two rolls of different materials with a set tension, thereby performing ultrasonic suturing, and then automatically slices them according to the required size. The prior art has the following problems: it does not fully utilize the image data during suturing, and there is no effective method to effectively process the features of the image during suturing, and combine the factory environmental parameters and suturing material parameters to improve the intelligent automatic tension setting, thereby improving the suturing quality during ultrasonic suturing. It also requires a lot of human resources to set the parameters of the suturing machine for each different suturing material, resulting in a low level of refined suturing management and low suturing accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adjustable ultrasonic suturing machine intelligent control device and control method to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0027] The invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Ultrasonic sewing machines use high-frequency oscillation to transmit sound waves to the welding surface of the workpiece, which instantly causes the molecules of the workpiece to produce friction, reaching the melting point of the plastic, thereby achieving rapid dissolution and welding of solid materials. This welding method makes the strength of the joint close to that of a whole piece of connected materials. As long as the joint surface of the product is designed to match, it can be completely sealed.

[0029] The present invention provides an intelligent control device and a control method for an adjustable ultrasonic suturing machine.

[0030] In a first aspect of the present invention, an intelligent control method for an adjustable ultrasonic suturing machine is provided, characterized in that the method comprises:

[0038] Further, the formula for performing feature processing on the first stitching positioning image or performing feature processing on the second stitching positioning image is:

[0039]

[0040]

[0041] P C =(R, G, B)

[0042] Wherein, R, G, B are the grayscale feature values ​​of the three channels of the first stitching positioning image or the second stitching positioning image color image, |R n ≥p k R n | for R n The grayscale eigenvalue of the pixel R channel is greater than p k R n R n Pixel grayscale eigenvalue, |G n ≥p k G n |For G n The grayscale eigenvalue of the pixel G channel is greater than p k G when GN n Pixel grayscale eigenvalue, |B n ≥p k B n | for B n The grayscale eigenvalue of pixel B channel is greater than p k B n B n Pixel grayscale eigenvalue, P sr , P sg , P sb For the corresponding k R n 、p k G n 、p k B n The number of R, G, and B pixels, P C To process the first stitched precise positioning image or the second stitched precise positioning image, p kThe type of ultrasonic suture material and the average density of ultrasonic suture material were used to calculate the p k is the material coefficient.

Each ultrasonic sewing setting parameter sets a different tension for straightening the fabric, which is set by the operator according to the deviation of the straightening and sewing.
