[0022] The status monitoring module is used to monitor and analyze the key components of the equipment during the printing process and obtain the monitoring and analysis results; wherein the monitoring and analysis results include the speed influence value, dynamic adjustment factor, and abnormal signals of related components of each key component. The key components of the equipment include the motor, rubber impression cylinder, gravure cylinder, and platen cylinder;

[0027] Identify the current printing production task and extract the driving parameters from the production task, the driving parameters including the preset motor output shaft speed, the speed of the rubber impression cylinder, the speed of the gravure cylinder, and the speed of the platen cylinder;

[0028] Obtain key equipment components in the printing process, including motor output shafts, rubber impression cylinders, gravure cylinders, and platen cylinders;

[0036] If the task prediction value is less than the preset task required threshold, it means that the current remaining amount of ink or base liquid is insufficient to support the current production task, and a liquid filling demand signal is generated.

[0037] Preferably, the printed corrugated box is evaluated as follows:

[0038] Install a high-definition camera at the discharge point to collect real-time images of the printed corrugated boxes to obtain printed images;

[0039] Identify printed patterns from printed images and obtain quality indicators of printed patterns, including clarity, color accuracy, and registration accuracy;

[0040] The qualified value of any index in the quality index of the printed image is set, and the qualified value corresponding to the index is obtained by subtracting the corresponding qualified value from the value of any index in the quality index of the printed image; the qualified difference values ​​of all the indexes in the quality index of the printed image are weighted to obtain the printing quality value;

[0041] The printing quality value is compared with the preset printing quality threshold. If the printing quality value is less than the preset printing quality threshold, it means that the printed image on the printed product is unqualified, and the number of defective products of the production task is recorded plus one. After the production task is completed, the number of printings and the number of defective products of the production task are counted, and the defective rate is obtained by dividing the number of printings by the number of defective products.

[0042] The qualified difference values ​​of all indicators in the quality indicators of all printed products, the printing quality value, and the defective rate of the production task are marked as the printing evaluation results.

[0043] Compared with the related art, the green and environmentally friendly printing process and system for corrugated paper boxes provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0091] Identify printed patterns from printed images and obtain quality indicators of printed patterns, including clarity, color accuracy, and registration accuracy;

[0092] Set the qualified value of any index in the quality index of the printed image, subtract the corresponding qualified value from the value of any index in the quality index of the printed image to obtain the qualified difference iHG corresponding to the index, where i represents the index number in the quality index; perform weighted processing on the qualified differences of all indexes in the quality index of the printed image to obtain the printing quality value R, which is expressed by the formula: Where n represents the number of indicators in the quality index, if represents the weight influence factor of indicator i in the quality index;

[0093] The printing quality value is compared with the preset printing quality threshold. If the printing quality value is less than the preset printing quality threshold, it means that the printed image on the printed product is unqualified, and the number of defective products of the production task is recorded plus one. After the production task is completed, the number of printings and the number of defective products of the production task are counted, and the defective rate is obtained by dividing the number of printings by the number of defective products.

[0094] The qualified difference values ​​of all indicators in the quality indicators of all printed products, the printing quality value, and the defective rate of the production task are marked as the printing evaluation results.
