Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette density (weight) detection in cigarette making machines, and specifically relates to an industrial control platform design device and method for an intelligent microwave density detector. Background Technology
[0002] Cigarette rolling and splicing equipment is a key technical tool in the cigarette industry, specifically designed for producing cigarettes without filters and those with stems that meet specific process requirements. A microwave density detector is used in the rolling and splicing machine to detect the density (weight) of the cigarettes. It acts as a sensor in the weight control device, forming a closed-loop system with the weight control system to jointly control the weight of the cigarettes.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent sensor technology, and intelligent upgrading of online detection technology in the tobacco industry, microwave density detectors not only involve high-precision and highly complex calculations and real-time detection and control of large-scale data processing, but also require digital interfaces to enable device networking and data uploading. However, the traditional approach of using a computer industrial control platform with GPU cards cannot achieve the intelligent upgrade of microwave density detectors. Therefore, researching an industrial control platform for intelligent microwave density detectors is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The main control and processing module is configured to acquire the cigarette density signal detected by the microwave density detector in real time.
[0008] An auxiliary computing module is configured to analyze and evaluate the weight control performance of the microwave density detector.
[0009] Preferably, the main control and processing module includes a main microcontroller, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and an AD acquisition circuit, a weight pulse output circuit, a CAN communication interface, and a wireless debugging interface connected to the main microcontroller via a line.

By comprehensively analyzing the above data, the weight control performance of the microwave density detector can be evaluated.
[0016] The auxiliary microcontroller is connected to the weight control system via a CAN communication interface; it is also connected to a digital terminal via an Ethernet interface to centrally collect real-time data from the microwave density detector for subsequent analysis and management.

[0022] Step 5: Based on the analysis results of Step 4, the main control and processing module determines whether it is necessary to adjust the internal calibration parameters of the microwave density detector.

[0030] If the result is within 10mg, then proceed to step 10;
[0031] Step 10: Send a command via microwave density detector to activate unit weight control.
[0032] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows:
