Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spandex fiber splitting detection, and particularly relates to a visual inspection device and method for spandex silk path defects based on image detection. Background Art

[0002] Spandex is short for polyurethane fiber, an elastic fiber and a common raw material for clothing products. At present, due to the relatively high production technology requirements for low-denier single-filament spandex yarn, its market price is more than 20% higher than that of spandex multifilament. In the production of low-denier single-filament spandex yarn, it can be directly spun or obtained by splitting spandex multifilament.

[0003] For example, the existing published document CN220284303U - A special device for spandex fiber splitting and the existing published document CN204959128U - An improved special device for spandex fiber splitting both disclose a device for spandex fiber splitting. However, in the actual spandex fiber splitting process, defects in the spandex filaments after splitting often occur (including broken filaments, merged filaments and skipped filaments). To address such problems, during the spandex fiber splitting process, workers need to hold a flashlight to illuminate the spandex filaments from the side of the spandex textile machine, and judge whether the state of the spandex filaments is qualified by the presence or absence of the filaments and the abnormality of the swing amplitude. However, in industrial production, due to the large number of devices, manual inspection will greatly increase the labor intensity of workers, and manual inspection also has the problem of low work efficiency.

[0004] To address such problems, the existing published document CN207113927U - A silk detection device was also retrieved. This kind of silk detection device can reduce the labor intensity of workers to a certain extent, but the existing silk detection device can only detect single-strand wires, and cannot pick out the wires with problems after the detection. Subsequently, workers still need to handle them.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this part is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this part, as well as in the abstract and title of the present application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract and the title. Such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0007] In view of the above problem that manual inspection of spandex filament defects is required after splitting in the existing spandex, a visual inspection device for spandex silk path defects based on image detection is proposed.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A visual inspection device for spandex silk path defects based on image detection, comprising: a light supply mechanism, including a light adjustment component and a light shielding component. The number of light supply mechanisms is equal to and corresponds one by one with the number of slave guide rollers. A plurality of slave guide rollers are arranged in a horizontal array. The light shielding plate in the light shielding component is arranged below the slave guide roller along the axis direction of the slave guide roller. The light adjustment component is arranged on the side of the light shielding plate close to the wire outlet of the slave guide roller. The light adjustment component includes a light source generator and a plano-concave mirror, and the light generated by the light source generator is irradiated on the silk thread output from the slave guide roller after passing through the plano-concave mirror; an inspection mechanism, including a walking vehicle, a robotic arm fixedly arranged on the top surface of the walking vehicle, and a mounting column fixedly arranged at the upper end of the robotic arm. A camera is installed at one end of the mounting column, and the camera is used for taking pictures of the silk thread output from the slave guide roller. The robotic arm has at least two joint groups that can achieve three-dimensional adjustment; a guide rail frame, which is buried in the bottom surface, and the vertical cross-section of the guide rail frame is arranged in a U shape; and a processing and control mechanism, including a control module, an image processing module, an image comparison module, and a storage module. The image processing module is used for performing image cropping and reduction processing on the photos collected by the camera. Then, the image comparison module compares the standard photos stored in the storage module with the processed photos for the silk thread swing amplitude comparison. When the swing amplitude is abnormal, the control module performs an abnormal processing action.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When this inspection device is in use, a light band is emitted from one side of the slave guide roller through the light adjustment component. After this light band is irradiated on the spandex silk, the camera takes pictures of the silk thread on the slave guide roller for a period of time due to the reflection of the spandex silk. The image comparison module compares the swing amplitude shown by the silk thread within a period of time with the swing amplitude in the standard picture. When the swing amplitude exceeds the standard picture or there is a lack of a swinging silk thread, the control module performs an abnormal processing action. This setting method can synchronously detect multiple strands of silk threads on one slave guide roller, and the cooperation between the walking vehicle and the guide rail frame can enable the inspection mechanism to perform inspections throughout the workshop, effectively improving the detection efficiency during silk thread splitting, and with low labor intensity.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides a spandex silk path defect visual inspection device based on image detection. When the inspection device is in use, the light supply mechanism 200 is matched with the wire winding mechanism 100, and the light supply mechanism 200 mainly generates a light band to illuminate the silk thread. The inspection mechanism 300, with the cooperation of the guide rail frame 400, realizes the collection of the silk thread swing amplitude state on each light supply mechanism 200, and the processing control mechanism is used to process the collected pictures.

[0041] Specifically, it includes a light supply mechanism 200, which includes a dimming component 201 and a light shielding component 202; an inspection mechanism 300, which includes a walking vehicle 301, a robotic arm 302 fixedly arranged on the top surface of the walking vehicle 301, and a mounting column 303 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the robotic arm 302; a guide rail frame 400, which is buried in the bottom surface, and the vertical cross-section of the guide rail frame 400 is U-shaped; and a processing and control mechanism, which includes a control module, an image processing module, an image comparison module, and a storage module;

[0042] The wire winding mechanism 100 includes an L-shaped machine base table 101, a main wire guiding roller 102 with one end connected to the vertical plate of the machine base table 101, slave wire guiding rollers 103 arranged in a horizontal array above one side of the main wire guiding roller 102, and two winding rollers 104 arranged below each slave wire guiding roller 103. Multiple strands of silk threads bypass above the main wire guiding roller 102 in a side-by-side manner, and then each strand of silk thread is split to each slave wire guiding roller 103, and finally the winding rollers 104 wind the silk threads on the slave wire guiding rollers 103.

[0043] See details in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in

[0044] The dimming component 201 includes a base plate 201a and a sliding plate 201d. An insertion frame 201a-1 is fixedly provided on the front end face of the base plate 201a, and the insertion frame 201a-1 is used for the insertion of the plano-concave mirror 201c. A sliding groove 201a-2 is formed in the top surface of the base plate 201a in the front-back direction. A fixing plate 201b-1 is fixedly sleeved outside the light source generator 201b. A sliding block 201b-2 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 201b-1, and the sliding block 201b-2 is in clearance fit in the sliding groove 201a-2. A screw column 201a-4 is spirally sleeved on the sliding block 201b-2, and the front and rear ends of the screw column 201a-4 are rotatably sleeved on the base plate 201a. In this way, when the screw column 201a-4 is rotated, the sliding block 201b-2 can drive the light source generator 201b to adjust its position in the front-back direction;

[0045] The light-shielding component 202 includes a placement plate 202b, and a rectangular through groove 202b-1 for the insertion of one end of the light-shielding plate 202a is formed in the placement plate 202b in the front-back direction. An adjusting bolt 202b-4 is spirally sleeved on the top surface of the placement plate 202b, and the lower end of the adjusting bolt 202b-4 abuts against the top surface of the light-shielding plate 202a. In this way, the clamping and fixing of the light-shielding plate 202a can be realized. The light-shielding plate 202a mainly plays a role in shielding light to prevent other light from interfering with the light generated by the light source generator 201b. In actual use, a cushion plate can also be filled in the rectangular through groove 202b-1 below the light-shielding plate 202a to realize the adjustment of the position of the light-shielding plate 202a; Preferably, the size of the light-shielding plate 202a is 1300 mm in length × 150 mm in width;

[0046] The light supply mechanism 200 further includes a support component 203. The support component 203 includes a mounting plate 203a, a telescopic rod 203b, and a support rod 203c. Telescopic rods 203b are symmetrically and fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the mounting plate 203a, and the lower ends of the telescopic rods 203b are slidably sleeved on the support rod 203c. A locking bolt is spirally engaged on one side surface of the upper end of the support rod 203c, and one end of the locking bolt abuts against the outer side wall of the telescopic rod 203b. In this way, the position adjustment of the telescopic rod 203b relative to the support rod 203c in the vertical direction can be realized, and thus the position adjustment of the dimming component 201 and the light-shielding component 202 in the vertical direction can be realized.

[0047] Further, a convex disk 201a-3 is fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the base plate 201a, and a convex groove 201d-2 for clearance fit with the convex disk 201a-3 is formed on the top surface of the sliding plate 201d. A locking bolt is screwed onto the base plate 201a, and the lower end of the locking bolt abuts against the top surface of the sliding plate 201d. In this way, the angle of the light emitted by the light source generator 201b can be adjusted, and the base plate 201a rotates horizontally relative to the sliding plate 201d. In this way, it can be realized that the front and rear sides of the bottom surface of the sliding plate 201d are symmetrically and fixedly provided with first L-shaped plates 201d-1, and the first L-shaped plates 201d-1 are clamped on the outside of the mounting plate 203a. A locking bolt is screwed onto the sliding plate 201d, and the lower end of the locking bolt abuts against the top surface of the mounting plate 203a. This setting can realize the adjustment of the position of the sliding plate 201d driving the light source generator 201b on the mounting plate 203a.

[0048] Further, the front and rear sides of the bottom surface of the placing plate 202b are symmetrically and fixedly provided with second L-shaped plates 202b-2, and the second L-shaped plates 202b-2 are clamped on the outside of the mounting plate 203a. An extension plate 202b-3 is fixedly provided at the lower position of one side surface of the placing plate 202b. A locking bolt is screwed onto the extension plate 202b-3, and the lower end of the locking bolt abuts against the top surface of the mounting plate 203a. In this way, the adjustment of the position of the light shielding plate 202a on the mounting plate 203a can be realized.

[0049] See Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a camera 304 is installed at one end of the mounting column 303, and the camera 304 is used for collecting pictures of the silk thread output from the wire guiding roller 103. The robotic arm 302 has at least two joint groups that can achieve three-dimensional adjustment. This setting can adjust the position of the mounting column 303 with a large space and high sensitivity, improving the convenience of inspection and photographing. Such as Figure 11 is a photo of the silk thread on the wire guiding roller 103 taken. Threaded columns 303a are screwed onto both ends of the mounting column 303. A clamping bracket 304a is fixedly provided on the end surface of one of the threaded columns 303a, and the clamping bracket 304a is used for clamping and fixing the camera 304. In this way, the clamping and disassembly of the camera 304 can be realized; preferably, the camera 304 is a customized 2500W high-definition global camera 304, with a frame rate of 4.5 frames, a dynamic range of 63dB, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 36dB; the lens is a customized 500W-2500W resolution, 8mm-25mm lens, with a field of view angle D: 20.32°, H: 16.77°, V: 11.24°; the flange back focus: 17.526mm.

[0050] The image processing module is used to crop and reduce the size of the photos collected by the camera 304. Then, the image comparison module compares the standard photos stored in the storage module with the processed photos for the silk thread swing amplitude. When the swing amplitude is abnormal, the control module performs abnormal handling actions, including alarming and picking up the silk thread;

[0051] Silk thread defects include broken filaments, merged filaments, and skipped filaments, which exhibit the following characteristics in the pictures:

[0052] Broken filament: For a broken filament, the shaft will be wound. In terms of the swing amplitude, one bundle of silk threads is missing;

[0053] Merged filament: One bundle of silk threads is missing, and two bundles are merged into one. In terms of the swing amplitude, one bundle of silk threads is missing;

[0054] Skipped filament: The overall number of silk threads is the same. Among two adjacent bundles of silk threads, single or multiple silk threads jump from bundle a to bundle b, resulting in the overall number being the same, with bundle a having fewer silk threads and bundle b having more silk threads. In terms of the swing amplitude, the swing amplitudes of two adjacent silk threads are not of the same width;

[0055] The processing steps of the image processing module are as follows: 1. Initialize the program, set control parameters, and read the deep learning model; 2. Read the image and perform Gaussian filtering on the graph to eliminate the interference of noise points; 3. Crop the region of interest, where the regions are all predefined; 4. Scale the width and height of the cropped region image to the specified size;

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that there are three methods to choose for scaling the picture: nearest neighbor interpolation, bilinear interpolation, and cubic interpolation. The present invention preferably uses nearest neighbor interpolation, and its working principle includes determining the scaling factor, calculating the position of the new pixel, finding the nearest neighbor, assigning values, and graphic type conversion. Since it is an existing technology, it will not be elaborated here. Embodiment 2

[0057] Refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, the difference is that in order to facilitate picking out the problematic silk thread in time when the swing amplitude is abnormal, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0058] Specifically, a wire - hooking component 305 is fixedly arranged on one end face of another threaded post 303a. The wire - hooking component 305 includes a fixing rod 305a, a T - shaped rod 305b, a connecting plate 305c, and a linkage plate 305d. The two fixing rods 305a are arranged in a horizontal array, and a gear disc 305a - 2 is fixedly arranged at one end of the fixing rod 305a. A linkage plate 305d is arranged between the two gear discs 305a - 2, and tooth strips 305d - 1 for meshing with the two gear discs 305a - 2 are respectively arranged on both side faces of the linkage plate 305d. An L - shaped rod 305c - 4 is slidably sleeved on the fixing rod 305a, and the other end of the L - shaped rod 305c - 4 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 305c. The connecting plate 305c is fixedly connected to the end face of the threaded post 303a by bolts, so as to facilitate disassembly and maintenance;

[0059] A connecting piece 305d - 2 is fixedly arranged at the lower position of one side face of the linkage plate 305d. A T - shaped post 305c - 2 is slidably sleeved on the connecting piece 305d - 2, and the lower end of the T - shaped post 305c - 2 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 305c. A second spring 305c - 3 is slidably sleeved on the T - shaped post 305c - 2 above the connecting piece 305d - 2, so as to realize the reset of the linkage plate 305d. An electromagnetic plate 305c - 1 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 305c above the linkage plate 305d;

[0060] When the above - mentioned device is in use, when the electromagnetic plate 305c - 1 is energized, it can generate magnetism to magnetically adsorb the linkage plate 305d. Under the adsorption of the electromagnetic plate 305c - 1, the linkage plate 305d will move along the axis direction of the T - shaped post 305c - 2 towards the electromagnetic plate 305c - 1. Also, due to the meshing setting of the tooth strips 305d - 1 on the linkage plate 305d and the gear discs 305a - 2, driven by the linkage plate 305d, the gear discs 305a - 2 can drive the fixing rods 305a to rotate. When the fixing rods 305a move to both sides of the silk thread, the fixing rods 305a will drive the silk hooks 305b - 1 at one end of the T - shaped rod 305b to rotate, so as to hook onto the silk thread. Then, driven by the robotic arm 302, the problematic silk thread can be picked up, which is convenient for the staff to process.

[0061] Furthermore, in actual use, the electrical components of this device are controlled by a control module. In actual use, the inspection mechanism 300 further includes an alarm. When the silk thread is detected to be abnormal, an alarm can be sent through the alarm to remind the staff. Embodiment 3

[0062] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , this is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference is that in order to pick up the silk thread more conveniently and without interfering with the silk thread due to the installation post 303, this embodiment is proposed.

[0063] Specifically, a T-shaped slot 305a-1 is provided in the fixing rod 305a, and the T-shaped rod 305b is slidably sleeved in the T-shaped slot 305a-1, a wire hook 305b-1 is integrally formed on one end of the T-shaped rod 305b located outside the T-shaped slot 305a-1, a piston column 305b-2 is fixedly provided on one end of the T-shaped rod 305b located inside the T-shaped slot 305a-1, and an air intake pipe 305a-3 connected to the T-shaped slot 305a-1 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the fixing rod 305a between the piston column 305b-2 and the gear plate 305a-2; a first spring 305b-3 is slidably sleeved on the T-shaped rod 305b located in the T-shaped slot 305a-1, so as to realize the reset of the T-shaped rod 305b in the T-shaped slot 305a-1;

[0064] When the above arrangement is in use, the air inlet pipe 305a-3 is connected to an external air pump through a hose. When it is necessary to pick up wire, gas is blown into the air inlet pipe 305a-3 through the air pump. The gas in the T-slot 305a-1 will push the piston column 305b-2 to move in the T-slot 305a-1, thereby adjusting the length of the T-rod 305b extending from the fixed rod 305a, and the wire hook 305b-1 can better hook the wire. In actual use, the different lengths of the T-rod 305b extending out can be achieved by controlling the different amounts of gas entering the two T-slots 305a-1, thereby achieving sufficient wire hooking. Example 4

[0065] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention, is based on the previous embodiment, except that this embodiment is proposed in order to more conveniently implement the present invention and enable the traveling vehicle 301 to better travel on the guide rail frame 400.

[0066] Specifically, a support plate 301b is embedded in the middle of the bottom surface of the traveling vehicle 301, and guide plates 301a are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the traveling vehicle 301 on both sides of the support plate 301b along the traveling direction, and the guide plates 301a are loosely fitted in the U-shaped groove of the guide frame 400, so as to play a role of limiting and guiding when the traveling vehicle 301 is traveling; the guide frame 400 is a grid-shaped structure arranged outside a plurality of wire winding mechanisms 100, so as to enable the traveling vehicle 301 to travel in the entire workshop, and the intersection position of the grid-shaped guide frame 400 is barrier-free;

[0067] When the above settings are in use, when the walking vehicle 301 moves to the intersection position of the guide rail frame 400, the support disk 301b moves downward to lift the entire inspection mechanism 300, and then the entire walking vehicle 301 is rotated by the rotation motor to realize the switching of the walking vehicle 301 at the corner position of the guide rail frame 400. Its specific working principle can still be realized without creative labor, so it will not be elaborated here. Embodiment 5
