[0041] S3: The industrial computer is provided with a fitting algorithm, and the corresponding data in the air pressure database and the equipment state database are fitted.

[0042] S4: The industrial computer adjusts the proportional regulating valve at the outlet of the positive pressure and negative pressure pipeline according to the fitting value obtained by fitting, so that the air pressure supply is adjusted according to the equipment running state.

[0043] Specifically, a visual recognition device is installed at the position of the packaging machine pressure gauge, and the values of the mechanical pointer type pressure gauge and the digital type pressure gauge are identified in real time. The identified values are stored in the air pressure database of the industrial computer. The frequency, voltage, current and other data of the motor frequency converter are retrieved through the PLC and stored in the equipment state database, and the air pressure database and the equipment state database are fitted so that when the frequency or current is 0, the proportional regulating valve installed at the outlet of the positive pressure and negative pressure pipeline is adjusted, the air pressure value is reduced to the basic running air pressure of the packaging machine, and finally the air pressure changes with the change of the machine running state, and when the machine speed is 0, the positive and negative pressure state is reduced to the basic pressure state. The method can improve the intelligence of the air pressure supply system of the packaging machine, and reduce the energy loss of the equipment running.

[0044] The method further comprises: setting a packaging machine running speed and air pressure corresponding table, and the industrial computer controls the opening degree of the proportional regulating valve according to the corresponding table to adjust the air pressure supply.
