[0095] See also Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides an AI-based intelligent printing control method for plastic packaging bags, comprising the following steps:
[0096] S10, before printing, the gravure production module produces the required gravure printing plate by mechanical engraving according to the requirements of the target packaging bag, and transmits it to the parameter determination module;
[0097] Furthermore, the mechanical engraving method refers to a printing plate making method that uses CNC machines such as drilling machines and planers to cut different patterns and shapes from the surface of an object according to predetermined sizes and patterns using cutting tools.

[0102] Furthermore, the printing plate refers to the plate making required for gravure printing, which is made of copper plate, zinc plate, nickel plate and other materials through multiple processes such as etching and polishing, and then the required pattern or text is printed on the plate through photoresist, exposure, etching and other steps.
[0103] S13, the image acquisition module obtains the image of the gravure printing plate through a high-definition camera and converts it into recognizable plate image quality information, and transmits it to the processing center;
[0104] Furthermore, the high-definition camera can shoot at a 360-degree angle, and can capture images of various points on the surface of the printing plate from multiple different angles, identify different points on the surface of the printing plate at different angles, and thus more accurately and comprehensively identify the various points on the surface of the printing plate and their shapes, or based on images of various graphics and texts on multiple printing plate surfaces captured from different angles, identify the graphic quality information on the surface of the printing plate by multi-angle matching, and then determine the various graphic and text positions on the surface of the printing plate.
[0105] S14, the processing center compares the actually acquired printing plate image quality information with the printing plate appearance quality standard stored in the memory: if they are inconsistent, the information is transmitted to the alarm and the printing plate is notified to be reworked and remade; if they are consistent, the wear and corrosion resistance test is carried out;
[0106] Furthermore, the printing plate appearance quality standard includes flatness requirements such as clear images and texts, well-proportioned convex and concave surfaces, distinct contours, and overall flatness, so as to ensure good printing effects such as the overall flatness of the subsequent printed surface and the clarity of images and texts.
[0107] S15. The wear-resistance and corrosion-resistance unit performs wear-resistance and corrosion-resistance tests on the printing plates with qualified surface appearance through wear-resistance and corrosion-resistance testing equipment to obtain wear-resistance and corrosion-resistance test data, and transmits it to the processing center;
[0108] Furthermore, the wear and corrosion resistance test refers to the printing plate being tested through numerous simulated printings to test whether the wear resistance and corrosion resistance meet the predetermined requirements, which can ensure that the printing plate can be used for a long time during the printing process without damage and deformation, thereby ensuring the quality and life of the printing plate.
[0109] S16. The processing center compares the wear and corrosion resistance test data of the actual printing plate with the wear and corrosion resistance standard of the printing plate stored in the memory: if they are inconsistent, the alarm is transmitted to the alarm and the printing plate is notified to be reworked and remade; if they are consistent, the printing plate is proved to be qualified and can be used for packaging bag printing.
[0110] S20, the parameter determination module obtains the best industry-related printing parameters based on the graphic requirements of the packaging bag to be printed and is connected to the industry database for trial printing to determine the final printing parameters, and transmits them to the printing driver module;
[0111] See also Figure 8 As shown, the step S20 includes the following steps:
[0112] S21, the pressure calculation unit obtains the printing pressure according to the printing pressure calculation formula "P = (K*F*D) / L, P is the pressure (N), K is the K value coefficient, F is the pressure between the roller end faces (KPa), D is the roller diameter (mm), and L is the roller length (mm)", and transmits it to the speed calculation unit;
[0113] Further explanation: K is the K value coefficient, which is the shape of the roller profile and is generally around 1.2, while F is the pressure between the roller end faces (kPa), D is the roller diameter (mm), and L is the roller length (mm), which are all known parameters and pre-stored in the system. The system automatically provides these parameter data during calculation.
[0114] S22, the speed calculation unit calculates the printing speed according to the printing speed calculation formula "υ2=(S*n*υ1] / 10000, υ2 is the printing speed (sheets / h), S is the paper area size (cm 2 ), n is the printing coefficient (1 / cm 2 ),υ1 is the printing press speed (sheets / h)” to obtain the required printing speed and pass it to the parameter optimization unit;
[0115] To further explain, S is the paper area size. Since the printing time required for different sizes of paper is different, the paper size is obtained by scanning during printing; n is the printing coefficient, which refers to whether the paper is printed on one side or two sides. The printing time required for the two is completely different, and it needs to be selected according to the actual situation. The coefficient is 1 for single-sided printing and 2 for double-sided printing; υ1 is the speed of the printing machine, that is, the number of sheets that can be printed per hour. It is generally specified in the equipment manual and can also be obtained through actual testing. As the machine continues to age, the printing speed of the machine will become slower and slower. For example: If a printing machine can print 6,000 sheets of A4-sized single-sided paper per hour, the area of A4 paper is 21×29.7=623.7cm2 , then the actual printing speed is υ2=(S*n*υ1] / 10000=(623.7*1*8000) / 10000=498.96 (sheets / h).

It can help remove ink residue on paper, prevent ink accumulation and blurring to ensure printing quality, reduce damage to paper and ink, and extend the service life of printing equipment; the temperature refers to the fact that during printing, changes in indoor temperature will directly affect the water absorption, and then affect the tension, flatness and shrinkage of the paper. Too high or too low temperature may cause unclear ink color. The temperature should generally be maintained within the range of 20℃-25℃; the humidity refers to the fact that during printing, indoor humidity also affects its water absorption and flatness. High humidity or low humidity will also affect the permeability of the paper, and will also affect its water absorption and flatness. The relative humidity is generally between 50% and 60%.

[0119] Furthermore, the target color ink refers to the ink adjusted according to the specific color block or color number provided by the customer. The basic pigments are first mixed, and diluents, additives, etc. are added, and then fine-tuned to accurately mix various colors into inks with the required pigments, so that the color is closer to the required color to achieve the required printing effect.
[0120] To further explain, after the ink is adjusted, it is also necessary to prepare raw materials such as copper plates, plates, solvents, inks, plate washing liquids, rubber rollers, printing presses, etc. for gravure printing, and it is necessary to ensure that their quality meets the printing requirements to ensure the subsequent final printing effect.
[0121] S25, the trial printing control unit performs trial gravure printing on the surface of the packaging bag through a printing machine according to predetermined printing parameters to confirm the optimization of the printing effect, and transmits the result to the image acquisition module;
[0122] Furthermore, the gravure printing refers to installing the plate material through a printing press and optimizing the printing pressure and printing speed, and processing and adjusting the sponge roller and the pressure roller to make the quality of the printed images and texts on the surface of the packaging bag better.
[0123] To further explain, after color matching, the printing plate needs to be placed on the printing press, and the printing plate position needs to be adjusted to ensure that it is correct, the printing press is operating normally, and the pigment mixing is correct compared with the customer's color plate, as well as the paper selection for the packaging bag, to ensure the normal operation of the printing press.
[0124] S26, the image acquisition module obtains the image quality information of the surface of the packaging bag after the trial printing through the set high-definition camera, and transmits it to the processing center;
[0125] Furthermore, the graphic image quality information refers to the image of the surface of the packaging bag after trial printing obtained by a high-definition camera, and the image is processed, analyzed and understood by image recognition software, and the image quality information of the targets and objects of the packaging bag in various modes is identified by a deep learning algorithm, including image acquisition, image preprocessing, feature extraction, and image recognition.
[0126] S27, the processing center compares the appearance quality information of the packaging bag surface actually obtained with the appearance quality standard of the packaging bag surface stored in the memory: if they are inconsistent, the information is transmitted to the alarm and a re-test is notified; if they are consistent, the information is transmitted to the wear resistance test unit;

[0128] S28, the wear-resistance test unit performs a wear-resistance test on the graphics and texts printed on the surface of the packaging bag with qualified appearance through the wear-resistance detection equipment to obtain the wear-resistance test data, and transmits it to the processing center;
[0129] Furthermore, the wear resistance test refers to testing whether the wear resistance of the printed surface graphics and text meets the predetermined requirements by rubbing the surface numerous times in a simulated environment. This can ensure that the packaging bag has no obvious wear or discoloration on the surface during long-term use by users, thereby ensuring the quality and life of the printing.
[0130] S29. The processing center compares the actual printed image wear test data with the wear test standard of the printed image on the packaging bag surface stored in the memory: if they are inconsistent, the alarm is transmitted to the alarm and the rework and re-test printing are notified; if they are consistent, it means that the test print is qualified and is set as the printing process parameter.
[0131] Furthermore, the wear resistance test standard refers to the fact that the pattern and / or text on the surface of the packaging bag after the wear resistance test has no obvious wear or fading.
[0132] S30, the printing drive module prints the required gravure pattern on the surface of the packaging bag through the printing device according to the predetermined printing parameters, and transmits it to the surface processing module;
[0133] Furthermore, the gravure image and text refer to the image obtained by gravure printing, that is, the prepared gravure plate is installed on the gravure printing machine, the predetermined parameters of the printing machine are adjusted, and the ink is evenly applied on the gravure plate with an ink roller, and the ink is transferred to the printing plate with the embossing roller on the printing machine, and then transferred to the surface of the packaging bag paper through the embossing roller to complete the gravure printing.
[0134] See also Fig. 9 As shown, before the step S30 of "printing the required gravure image on the surface of the packaging bag by a printing device", the following steps are also included:
[0135] S31, the substrate confirmation unit checks the surface quality of the substrate film to be printed through a scanner and confirms whether it meets the printing requirements, and transmits it to the equipment inspection unit;

[0137] S32, the equipment inspection unit uses a high-definition camera to obtain information about whether there are no foreign objects around the printing press and its supporting equipment, and confirms whether the plate rollers, operation, lubrication, oil circuits, and instruments are normal, and transmits this information to the gravure plate confirmation unit;
[0138] Furthermore, the "whether there are no foreign objects around the equipment" includes whether there are dust, garbage and sundries not related to printing around the printing machine, and whether the ventilation and exhaust facilities are intact; the "whether the plate roller is normal" includes that the plate roller of the next color should be slightly larger than the previous color, such as: the circumference of the second color plate roller should be 1% larger than the circumference of the first color plate roller, at least slightly larger or equal, and absolutely not smaller than the first color, otherwise it cannot be overprinted correctly, and whether the plate roller pattern and color mark are correct; the "whether the operation, lubrication, oil circuit, and instrumentation are normal" includes whether there are blockages in the transmission, feeding, feeding, drying, inking, traction and winding parts of the printing machine, whether lubricating oil is injected into the lubrication part, whether the oil circuit is unobstructed, and whether the instruments are intact, such as: if there is an automatic ink viscosity controller, the viscosity of the ink should be adjusted to the set value of 14-18 seconds, and a mixed solvent should be poured into it (the upper part), connected to the ink tank with an ink pump, and the computer automatic plate registration device should be checked. All equipment should be idling for several times before printing to find out if there are any abnormalities, and a comprehensive automatic check should be carried out.
[0139] S33, the gravure plate confirmation unit uses an intelligent sensor to confirm whether the engraved gravure plate is firmly installed and whether the tightness of the plate roller is appropriate, and transmits it to the ink knife inspection unit;
[0140] Furthermore, the "whether it is installed firmly and whether the tightness of the fit with the plate roller is appropriate" includes whether the clamping cones on the left and right sides of the gravure plate are too tight to avoid the plate roller from bursting. If it is too loose, the plate will "escape" during printing. The plate roller is installed according to the printing color sequence. The printing color sequence for inside printing is "gold and silver ink → black ink → original cyan → original yellow → original red (magenta plate) → white plate", and the color sequence for positive printing is "white ink → magenta ink → yellow ink → cyan ink → black ink → gold and silver ink", which are just the opposite.
[0141] S34, the ink blade inspection unit obtains whether the angle between the ink blade and the tangent line of the contact point of the printing roller is appropriate and whether the position of the ink blade and the hard blade lining is correct through the intelligent sensor, and transmits it to the acceleration test unit;

If it is less than 15°, the ink is not easy to scrape off. If it is greater than 45°, the damage to the printing plate and the scraper is relatively serious, and the chrome plating layer of the printing plate is easy to be scratched. The pressure of the scraper should not be too large. If it is too large, it is easy to damage the printing plate. If it is too small, it is difficult to scrape off the ink.
[0143] Furthermore, the "whether the positions of the scraper blade and the hard knife lining are correct" includes whether the scraper blade and the hard knife lining are overlapped and placed in the middle of the upper and lower clamping plates, whether the thickness of the hard knife lining is 0.8-1.8mm, whether the bolts are tightened, and whether the bolts are tightened symmetrically from the middle to the left and right ends to eliminate blade bending; the length of the scraper blade extending out of the hard knife lining is 10-20mm. If the extended length is too long, the scraper blade will be soft and difficult to scrape clean; if it is too short, the rigidity will increase, the scraping will be too large, and the blade and plate will be easily damaged.
[0144] S35, the acceleration test unit confirms whether the control of the printing press speed by the continuously variable speed system is normal through the acceleration sensor, so as to ensure the accuracy of the printing speed during printing and the quality of graphic printing.
[0145] Furthermore, the "confirmation of whether the control of the printing press speed by the continuously variable transmission system is normal" includes, in order to synchronize the printing units of each color, using a continuously variable transmission system consisting of a main motor and a continuously variable transmission to drive the printing control system to drive the running speed of the printing press through a long rotating shaft to control the printing speed, specifically: starting the main motor to check the speed change of the transmission when the clutches of the printing plates of each color are disengaged, then turning on the dryer and the blower, closing the clutch at a low speed to perform color registration, first taking the first color as a reference, starting the inching to perform the longitudinal color registration of the second, third and fourth colors; then still taking the first color as a reference, performing the transverse color registration of the second, third and fourth colors, and fine-tuning the transverse color registration with a hand wheel, and when the longitudinal and transverse color registration is aligned, the printing speed is accelerated.
[0146] S40, the surface treatment module dries, laminates, cuts, glazes, and folds the gravure images on the surface of the finished packaging bag to ensure the image clarity and customer requirements, and transmits it to the image acquisition module;
[0147] See also Fig.10 As shown, the step S40 includes the following steps:
[0148] S41, the drying processing unit dries the gravure pattern on the surface of the finished packaging bag through a drying device and removes surface abnormalities to remove surface moisture to ensure the dryness of the paper surface, and transfers it to the film softening unit;
[0149] Furthermore, the drying refers to the process of drying the ink on the surface of the printed packaging bag paper through a drying device for a certain period of time, and the length of time depends on the characteristics of the ink and the type of material. The drying time for each different ink is inconsistent, and the drying time for each different packaging bag paper is inconsistent; the surface abnormality removal refers to the treatment of the problems of blockage, adhesion, and burrs on the surface of the gravure image and text of the dried packaging bag to ensure the cleanliness of the image and text.
[0150] S42, the laminating and softening unit laminates and softens the surface of the dried packaging bag paper through the laminating equipment to increase its durability and foldability, and transfers it to the glazing and hot stamping unit;
[0151] Furthermore, the lamination refers to covering the surface of the printed packaging bag paper with a protective film to increase the durability and reputation of the graphics on the surface of the packaging bag paper, so that the printed graphics will not fall off for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the packaging bag; the softening refers to kneading the packaging bag paper to a certain extent through a softening device to facilitate subsequent folding and processing.
[0152] S43, the glazing and hot stamping unit performs glazing or hot stamping on the surface of the packaging bag paper after the film is softened, so as to make the surface of the plastic packaging bag more bright and beautiful, and transfers it to the cutting and folding unit;
[0153] Furthermore, the glazing refers to a post-printing treatment process in which a layer of colorless transparent coating is coated (or sprayed or printed) on the surface of the packaging bag paper, and a thin and uniform transparent glossy layer is formed on the surface of the packaging bag paper after leveling, drying, calendering and curing. This can enhance the smoothness of the surface of the packaging bag paper, protect the surface gloss, enhance the surface gloss, and does not affect the recycling and reuse of the paper; the hot stamping refers to a process of transferring the aluminum layer in the electrochemical aluminum to the surface of the substrate to form a special metal layer by using the principle of hot pressure transfer, so that the surface of the packaging bag is smooth and bright, and the grade of the packaging product is improved.
[0154] S44, the cutting and folding unit performs die-cutting, back gluing and folding processing on the glazed packaging bag paper to form a plastic packaging bag, which is ready for packaging and shipment.
[0155] Furthermore, the die-cutting refers to a forming process in which a die-cutting plate is combined into a die-cutting plate according to the pattern required by the product design by a die-cutting device, and the packaging bag paper is rolled into a desired shape or cut under the action of pressure applied by the device. The cut is also called indentation, which refers to using a creasing knife or a creasing die to press out a line mark on the sheet material under the action of pressure, or using a rolling wheel to roll out a line mark on the sheet material, so that the sheet material can be bent and formed according to a predetermined position; existing die-cutting equipment has a creasing function, and the die-cutting knife and the creasing knife are combined in the same template, so that die-cutting and indentation can be performed at the same time. The process of combining the two is also called molding; the back gluing refers to a process of applying adhesive to the back of the printed packaging bag paper surface, so that it can be bonded to other materials during subsequent folding; the folding refers to the process of folding the printed packaging bag paper into a bag of the packaging bag size through a folding device according to the page number sequence and the specified format size according to the three-dimensional drawing of the packaging bag, so as to finally form the plastic packaging bag required by the customer.
[0156] S50, the image acquisition module obtains the image information of the gravure image on the surface of the packaging bag through a high-definition camera and converts it into recognizable quality information of the gravure image on the surface of the packaging bag, and transmits it to the processing center;
[0157] Further explanation: the gravure image quality information on the packaging bag surface is consistent with the gravure image quality information on the packaging bag surface of the aforementioned trial printing, but the latter is the image quality information on the packaging bag paper surface before folding, while here is the image quality information on the surface after folding into a packaging bag. There are slight differences between the two. If it is not folded, it may be qualified, but due to abnormal surface treatment process after printing, the surface image quality after folding will be unqualified. The qualified rate before folding must be higher than the qualified rate after folding.
[0158] S60, the processing center compares the actually acquired gravure image quality information on the packaging bag surface with the image quality standard on the packaging bag surface stored in the memory: if they are inconsistent, the information is transmitted to the alarm and a rework and reprinting notification is given; if they are consistent, the printing is notified as qualified.
[0159] It is further explained that the quality standards of the graphics and text on the surface of the packaging bag include color matching, clear graphics and text, smooth paper surface, uniform lines, and no edge defects. There are some differences between the surface after folding into a packaging bag and the surface before folding into a packaging bag, including differences in flatness and glossiness.
[0160] The above steps are displayed in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise clearly stated in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps. These steps can also be executed in other orders, and some steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.
[0161] Further explanation, the present invention is described according to the content implemented by the software program of the intelligent printing control system of the plastic packaging bag based on AI. Each intelligent printing control method of the plastic packaging bag based on AI is divided into several modules or units to implement the software program instructions generated by each step.
