Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0012] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present disclosure can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present disclosure.

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be described through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flowchart of a quality control method for the production process of knitted fabrics provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes: S101: Determine the structure type of the knitted fabric based on the first detection result of the first vision detection unit.

[0015] In this embodiment, the first vision detection unit is a device or system component specifically used for visually detecting knitted fabrics. The first vision detection unit may include a camera, a light source device, etc. The camera can acquire image information of the knitted fabric, and the light source device is used to provide appropriate lighting conditions for image acquisition to ensure clear and accurate capture of the characteristics of the knitted fabric.

[0016] The structure types of knitted fabrics include single-sided fabric, double-sided fabric, jacquard fabric, etc. Different fabrics have different knitting rules and appearance characteristics. From the perspective of appearance morphology, the structure types can be classified according to the texture characteristics, density, coil shape, etc. of the knitted fabric. For example, there are fine plain structures, patterned structures with a concave-convex feeling, and loose mesh structures.

[0017] The first detection result is the output information obtained after the first vision detection unit detects the knitted fabric. This output information is presented in various forms, such as the image data of the knitted fabric (including visual information such as the appearance and texture of the knitted fabric). The output information can also be data obtained after preliminary analysis of the image data of the knitted fabric, such as certain characteristic parameters (needle gauge, coil density, texture direction, printing characteristics, etc.).

[0018] In this embodiment, determining the structure type of the knitted fabric based on the first detection result of the first vision detection unit includes: Extract features from multiple images collected by the first vision detection unit to obtain the overall features and local features of the knitted fabric; Input the overall features and local features of the knitted fabric into a classification and recognition model to obtain the structure type of the knitted fabric. The classification and recognition model is a trained neural network model.

[0019] The overall characteristics of the knitted fabric include texture complexity, color distribution, and density. The overall characteristics of the knitted fabric are obtained by feature extraction from multiple images collected by the first visual detection unit, including: texture complexity, color distribution, and density are obtained by feature extraction from multiple images.

[0020] Among them, the calculation method of texture complexity is as follows: determine the first distance and the first angle, and count the frequency of the gray-scale combinations of pixel pairs with a distance of the first distance and an angle of the first angle in multiple images to form a gray-level co-occurrence matrix; calculate feature statistics based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and there are multiple feature statistics; weight the multiple feature statistics to obtain the texture complexity. The multiple feature statistics are at least two of contrast, correlation, energy, and homogeneity.

[0021] The local characteristics of the knitted fabric include loop morphology and pattern features. The local characteristics of the knitted fabric obtained by feature extraction from multiple images collected by the first visual detection unit include: the loop morphology and pattern features of the knitted fabric are obtained by feature extraction from multiple images collected by the first visual detection unit. The loop morphology includes the size, shape, and uniformity of the loops, etc. Different knitted fabric structure types have different loop morphology characteristics. For example, the loops of single-sided fabric have obvious front and back sides. The front loops present loop columns, which are relatively smooth, neat, and have a strong sense of line; the back loops are loop arcs, with a relatively rough appearance and certain undulations. Both sides of double-sided fabric are composed of loops, without obvious front and back differences, and the appearances of both sides are relatively similar. The pattern complexity is relatively low, generally mainly simple geometric patterns, stripes, grids, etc. The pattern complexity of double-sided fabric is moderate, and some patterns richer than those of single-sided fabric can be formed, such as combinations of stripes with different widths, splicing of simple geometric patterns, etc. The pattern complexity of jacquard fabric is high, and very complex and delicate pattern effects can be achieved. Various details can be accurately reproduced, the lines of the patterns are smooth, and the color transitions are natural, achieving an effect like a painting. It can not only have complex contours and shapes, but also incorporate multiple colors and hierarchical changes in one pattern.

[0022] Input the overall features and local features of the knitted fabric into the classification and recognition model to obtain the structural type of the knitted fabric. It can be understood that: First, normalize the extracted overall features and local features, and map the feature values to a fixed range, such as the interval [0, 1]. Commonly used normalization methods include min-max normalization and Z-score normalization. Normalization can eliminate the dimensional differences between different features and improve the training effect and stability of the model. Second, feature selection and dimensionality reduction processing are required. Methods such as correlation analysis and principal component analysis can be used to select the features that contribute most to the discrimination of the structural type, reduce the feature dimension, and retain important information at the same time. Finally, input the preprocessed overall features and local features into the trained classification and recognition model to obtain the structural type of the knitted fabric.

[0023] To ensure the reliability of the classification results, the confidence of the classification results can be evaluated. For example, judge the confidence of the model in the classification results through the probability values of the output layer of the classification and recognition model. If the probability value is close to 1, it means that the model has a high confidence in the classification result; if the probability value is low, further inspection is required.

[0024] S102: Compare the structural type of the knitted fabric with the preset knitted fabric structural types to determine the second detection method of the knitted fabric.

[0025] In this embodiment, the preset knitted fabric structural types are a series of standard structural types and their corresponding quality characteristics and detection requirements set according to production requirements, product standards or experience summaries before the start of the production process. These preset knitted fabric structural types contain detailed descriptions of knitted fabrics of different structural types, such as coil density, pattern regularity, elasticity requirements, etc.

[0026] Knitted fabrics of different structural types may have different quality defects and problems. Therefore, different detection methods need to be adopted to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the detection. In this embodiment, by comparing the actually detected structural type of the knitted fabric with the preset knitted fabric structural types, the second detection method of this knitted fabric can be selected according to the matching situation and differences between the two, so as to more accurately detect the quality problems existing in the knitted fabric.

[0027] S103: Determine the quality parameters of the knitted fabric based on the second detection method, and perform quality detection on the knitted fabric based on the second detection method to obtain the second detection result.

[0028] In this embodiment, the quality parameters of the knitted fabric include physical performance parameters, appearance quality parameters and internal quality parameters. The physical performance parameters include coil density, yarn linear density, fabric thickness. The appearance quality parameters include pattern quality defects, color uniformity, etc. The internal quality parameters include internal broken yarn parameters, hole and gap parameters, etc.

[0029] After the second detection method is determined, the quality parameters of the knitted fabric can be determined based on the second detection method. For example, if the second detection method is only visual inspection, the quality parameters of the knitted fabric can be coil density, color uniformity, etc. If the second detection method includes both visual inspection and ultrasonic inspection, the quality parameters of the knitted fabric can be coil density, yarn linear density, fabric thickness, pattern quality defects, color uniformity, internal broken yarn parameters, hole and gap parameters, etc.

[0030] The quality inspection of the knitted fabric is carried out based on the second detection method to obtain the second detection result, including: If the second detection method is visual inspection, the detection equipment can be a high-resolution industrial camera, a suitable light source, and image processing software. The industrial camera can collect images of the knitted fabric, the light source ensures clear images and uniform illumination, and the image processing software analyzes and processes the images. The image processing software can use specific algorithms to identify coils and count the number of coils per unit length or area to determine the coil density; it can also evaluate the color uniformity by calculating statistical quantities such as the average value and standard deviation of colors through the color analysis function, so as to obtain the corresponding quality inspection result.

[0031] If the second detection method is a combination of visual inspection and ultrasonic inspection, in addition to the equipment required for visual inspection, the ultrasonic inspection equipment needs to be started. First, use visual inspection to obtain the appearance quality parameters of the knitted fabric, such as coil density, pattern quality defects, color uniformity, etc. Then, use the ultrasonic inspection equipment to emit ultrasonic signals to the knitted fabric, receive the reflected waves and analyze their characteristics to detect internal quality parameters such as yarn linear density, fabric thickness, internal broken yarn parameters, hole and gap parameters, etc. Finally, integrate the results obtained by the two detection methods to form a comprehensive second detection result, providing a basis for the quality evaluation of the knitted fabric.

[0032] S104: Update the control parameters in the production process of the knitted fabric based on the second detection result and the quality parameters of the knitted fabric.

[0033] In this embodiment, each specific index in the second detection result, such as the number of defects, density deviation, color difference, etc., is compared one by one with the pre-set quality parameter standard of the knitted fabric. Determine the quality parameters that meet the standard and the quality parameters that do not meet the standard. Calculate the deviation value of the quality parameters that do not meet the standard, and update the control parameters in the production process of the knitted fabric based on the deviation value.

[0034] Different deviation values of quality parameters often correspond to different control parameters. For example, if the color and luster uniformity does not meet the standard, the control parameters in the dyeing process can be adjusted, such as dyeing temperature, dyeing time, dye concentration, etc.; if problems such as internal broken yarn are found, the control parameters such as the yarn feeding tension and the state of knitting needles of the knitting machine can be checked and adjusted. At the same time, the mutual influence between various control parameters should be comprehensively considered to avoid adjusting one parameter and causing other quality problems.

[0035] After determining the control parameters, update the control parameters in the production process of the knitted fabric according to the determined adjustment direction and amplitude. During the update process, the quality of the produced knitted fabric is monitored in real time. For example, a small-scale test method can be adopted to observe the effect after adjustment, and the control parameters can be further optimized according to the feedback results. Continuously cycle this process until the quality of the knitted fabric meets the preset quality parameter standard, realizing the stability of the production process and the improvement of product quality.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, on the one hand, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by introducing the first visual detection unit, the structural type of the knitted fabric can be quickly and accurately determined. At the same time, the corresponding second detection method is automatically selected according to the structural type of the knitted fabric, making the quality detection process more targeted and efficient. By accurately matching the structural type of the knitted fabric with the preset detection method, the quality parameters of the knitted fabric can be more accurately evaluated, thereby realizing the fine control of the production process. This can not only improve production efficiency but also significantly improve the quality control accuracy.

[0037] On the other hand, based on the second detection result and the quality parameters of the knitted fabric, the control parameters in the production process of the knitted fabric are updated in real time. This dynamic adjustment mechanism can ensure that the production process always remains in the best state, effectively avoiding quality problems caused by improper parameters. By continuously optimizing the production parameters, the control method provided by the present disclosure can significantly reduce the defective rate and improve the product qualification rate.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second detection result obtained by performing quality detection on the knitted fabric based on the second detection method includes: If the second detection method is visual detection, the second detection result is obtained by performing quality detection on the knitted fabric based on the second visual detection unit, and the detection accuracy of the second visual detection unit is greater than that of the first visual detection unit; If the second detection method is visual detection and ultrasonic detection, the second detection result is obtained by performing quality detection on the knitted fabric based on the second visual detection unit and the ultrasonic detection unit.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first visual detection unit is mainly used to judge the structural type of the knitted fabric, and its detection accuracy is relatively low. The first visual detection unit can be an ordinary industrial camera equipped with a low-resolution lens. There are two ordinary industrial cameras and two low-resolution lenses, which are respectively arranged on the front and back sides of the knitted fabric. The ordinary industrial camera can obtain the overall images of the front and back sides of the knitted fabric. Cooperating with the low-resolution lens, it can quickly obtain the general structural information of the knitted fabric, such as the basic arrangement mode of the coils, the texture direction of the fabric, etc., which is sufficient to make a preliminary judgment on the structural type of the knitted fabric. For example, the coil arrangements on the front and back sides of a single-sided knitted fabric are different. By analyzing the images of the front and back sides of the knitted fabric, it can be determined whether the knitted fabric is of single-sided organization. Although the first visual detection unit can obtain the structural type of the knitted fabric, it is difficult to clearly see the fine details of the knitted fabric. Therefore, a second visual detection unit is needed to detect the quality of the knitted fabric.

[0040] The second visual detection unit can be a high-resolution industrial CCD camera, a machine vision system, and a 3D visual detection device. The CCD camera has the characteristics of high sensitivity and low noise, and can capture the fine features on the surface of the knitted fabric. With a high-resolution lens and a suitable light source, it can clearly capture details such as the coil morphology and yarn texture of the knitted fabric. The machine vision system consists of a camera, a lens, a light source, an image acquisition card, and image processing software, etc., and can perform high-precision processing and analysis on the knitted fabric image. Through advanced image processing algorithms, the machine vision system can accurately identify various details of the knitted fabric, such as tiny defects and color differences, etc., to achieve precise detection of the quality of the knitted fabric. The 3D visual detection device can obtain the three-dimensional image information of the knitted fabric, and can not only detect the details on the surface of the knitted fabric, but also measure and analyze its three-dimensional features such as thickness and concavity and convexity, with relatively high detection accuracy.

[0041] The ultrasonic detection unit includes devices such as an ultrasonic transmitter, a transducer, an ultrasonic receiver, a signal processing circuit, and a detection host. Its working principle is as follows: First, the ultrasonic transmitter generates a high-frequency electrical signal, which is transmitted to the transducer. The transducer uses the piezoelectric effect to convert the electrical signal into ultrasonic waves and emits them. The ultrasonic waves propagate in the object to be detected such as the knitted fabric. When encountering the interfaces of objects with different densities, such as the yarn intersections in the knitted fabric, internal holes or gaps, and broken yarn positions, etc., phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and scattering will occur. The reflected ultrasonic waves are received by the transducer and are converted into electrical signals again through the piezoelectric effect. The electrical signals are processed by circuits such as multi-stage amplification, filtering, and demodulation in the receiver, and then transmitted to the signal processing circuit for further analysis. Finally, the detection host judges the quality parameters of the knitted fabric according to the processed signals. For example, by analyzing the signal intensity, propagation time, frequency change, etc., parameters such as yarn linear density, fabric thickness, internal broken yarn parameters, hole and gap parameters, etc. are obtained.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, by introducing a high-precision second vision detection unit, the accuracy and reliability of the quality inspection of knitted fabrics are improved; at the same time, by combining the two methods of vision detection and ultrasonic detection, the quality of knitted fabrics can be more comprehensively detected, effectively avoiding the problem of inaccurate detection by a single detection method and improving the overall quality inspection efficiency of knitted fabrics.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the second vision detection unit to perform quality inspection on the knitted fabric to obtain a second detection result, including: Preprocess the knitted fabric image collected by the second vision detection unit, and the preprocessing includes at least one of denoising, grayscale conversion, and contrast enhancement operations; Extract the features in the preprocessed image, compare the extracted features with the preset quality standard features, and generate a second detection result according to the comparison result. The second detection result includes whether there are defects on the surface of the knitted fabric, the position of the defects, and the type of defects.

[0044] In this embodiment, the knitted fabric image data collected by the second vision detection unit will be interfered by the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to preprocess the knitted fabric image data after collection. The preprocessing includes at least one of denoising, grayscale conversion, and contrast enhancement operations. Denoising: The knitted fabric image may be interfered by various noises during the collection process, such as electronic component noise, ambient light noise, etc. Denoising is to use various algorithms and technologies, such as mean filtering, median filtering, etc., to remove the noise in the image and improve the quality and clarity of the image. Grayscale conversion: Convert the color knitted fabric image into a grayscale image. When analyzing the image, only the brightness information of the image needs to be utilized. Grayscale conversion can reduce the amount of data, improve the processing speed, and at the same time can also highlight some structural features of the image, facilitating subsequent feature extraction and analysis. Grayscale conversion is generally achieved by weighted averaging the RGB three channels of the color image. Contrast enhancement: By changing the brightness distribution of the image, expanding the difference between different gray levels in the image, and making the details in the image more clearly visible. For example, the defects of some knitted fabrics may have a small gray difference from the normal part. Through contrast enhancement, these defects can be more easily identified and distinguished. Commonly used methods include histogram equalization, gamma correction, etc.

[0045] The preset quality standard features are a set of feature parameters or feature templates preset according to the quality requirements and standards of the knitted fabric. For example, for a knitted fabric without defects, its loops should have a certain shape and size, and the arrangement should be neat and uniform, which can all be used as quality standard features.

[0046] In this embodiment, after preprocessing the collected images, specific image feature extraction algorithms are used, such as texture feature extraction algorithms based on gray-level co-occurrence matrices, geometric feature extraction algorithms based on edge detection, etc., to extract various features of the knitted fabric. The extracted features of the knitted fabric are compared with the preset quality standard features, and methods such as pattern matching and similarity calculation are used to determine whether the knitted fabric meets the quality standards. If a difference is found between the extracted features and the quality standard features, it indicates that there are defects on the surface of the knitted fabric, and the device can mark the defective images or directly give an early warning to avoid major problems.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, by preprocessing the knitted fabric images, the image quality is improved; by comparing the feature extraction with the preset quality standard features, the defects of the knitted fabric can be accurately identified, including the presence or absence, location, and type of defects, which improves the quality detection efficiency and accuracy and helps to timely discover and solve quality problems.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the second vision detection unit and the ultrasonic detection unit, quality detection of the knitted fabric is performed to obtain a second detection result, including: Feature extraction is performed on the knitted fabric images collected by the second vision detection unit to obtain a first feature set, and feature extraction is performed on the information of the knitted fabric collected by the ultrasonic detection unit to obtain a second feature set; The features in the first feature set and the second feature set are fused to obtain a multi-source fusion feature set, and quality detection of the knitted fabric is performed based on the multi-source fusion feature set to obtain a second detection result.

[0049] Among them, fusing the features in the first feature set and the second feature set to obtain a multi-source fusion feature set includes: Obtaining the multi-source fusion feature set according to the first formula, and the first formula is;

[0050] Among them, represents the multi-source fusion feature set, , F 1 represents the first feature set, represents the i-th feature in the first feature set, and m represents the number of features in the first feature set; , F 2 is the second feature set, represents the j-th feature in the second feature set, and n represents the number of features in the second feature set; represents a two-dimensional weight coefficient matrix, represents a function for mapping a single feature in the first feature set, represents mapping a single feature in the second feature set, denotes an activation function, denotes assigning a single feature to the first feature set the weight coefficient of the feature after mapping, denotes assigning a single feature to the second feature set the weight coefficient of the feature after mapping, denotes a feature interaction function.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first feature set is a set of features extracted from the knitted fabric image collected by the second vision detection unit. denotes the i-th feature in the first feature set, such as the texture feature of the image (such as the local binary pattern feature value), the color feature (such as the color moment feature), etc. The second feature set is a set of features extracted from the knitted fabric information collected by the ultrasonic detection unit. denotes the j-th feature in the second feature set.

[0052] denotes a function that maps a single feature in the first feature set. It can transform the original image feature into a more expressive feature space. For example, using a deep neural network as to perform a non-linear transformation on the input image feature. denotes mapping a single feature in the second feature set to map the ultrasonic feature to a suitable feature space, which can also be a deep neural network structure. and can be the same neural network structure or different neural network structures. denotes an activation function, usually a non-linear activation function such as the ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) function whose role is to introduce non-linear factors into the fusion process, enhance the expression ability of the model, and enable the model to learn more complex feature relationships. denotes a two-dimensional weight coefficient matrix, reflecting the importance degree of the combination of the i-th feature in the first feature set and the j-th feature in the second feature set in the fusion process, , .

[0053] denotes a feature interaction function used to measure the interaction between the i-th feature in the first feature set and the j-th feature in the second feature set. It can be defined as , denotes the inner product, denotes the norm of the vector, and reflects the interaction by calculating the correlation between features.

[0054] As can be seen from the above, by integrating the features of the second vision detection unit and the ultrasonic detection unit, and using the deep neural network mapping and non-linear activation function, the present disclosure enhances the feature expression ability. At the same time, through the two-dimensional weight coefficient matrix and the feature interaction function, the importance and interaction of features are accurately measured, improving the accuracy and efficiency of knitted fabric detection.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control parameters in the production process of the knitted fabric are updated based on the second detection result and the quality parameters of the knitted fabric, including: Calculating the deviation value between the second detection result and the quality parameters of the knitted fabric, where the deviation value includes the numerical deviation value of the quality index and the deviation value of the number of defects; According to the preset control strategy and the deviation value, determining the control parameters to be adjusted and the adjustment range, and adjusting the corresponding control parameters of the knitted fabric production equipment.

[0056] In this embodiment, according to the preset control strategy and the deviation value, determining the control parameters to be adjusted and the adjustment range includes: Based on the numerical deviation value of the quality index and the first control strategy in the preset control strategy with a relevance to the quality index greater than the preset relevance, determining the first control parameter; Based on the numerical deviation value of the quality index and the first control strategy in the preset control strategy with a relevance to the quality index greater than the preset relevance, determining the adjustment range of the first control parameter; Based on the deviation value of the number of defects and the second control strategy in the preset control strategy with a relevance to the defect greater than the preset relevance, determining the second control parameter; Based on the deviation value of the number of defects and the second control strategy in the preset control strategy with a relevance to the defect greater than the preset relevance, determining the adjustment range of the second control parameter.

[0057] Among them, the numerical deviation of the quality index reflects the difference between the actual quality value of the knitted fabric and the preset standard value. The preset control strategy is a set of rules preset to cope with different quality situations. By setting the relevance threshold, the control strategy with a greater impact on this quality index can be found. For example, for the quality index of the coil density of the knitted fabric, if there is a deviation between its actual value and the standard value, in the preset control strategy, control strategies such as knitting speed and yarn tension have a relatively high relevance to the coil density, exceeding the preset relevance, then the knitting speed and yarn tension can become the first control parameters to be adjusted.

[0058] After the first control parameter is determined, it is necessary to determine the adjustment range of the first control parameter. Different degrees of deviation require different degrees of adjustment of the first control parameter. For example, if the coil density deviation value is less than the first value, according to the preset first control strategy, the knitting speed is adjusted by the first step length; if the coil density deviation value is greater than or equal to the first value, the knitting speed is adjusted by the second step length; the first step length is less than the second step length. The preset control strategy includes adjustment rules for the first control parameter under different degrees of deviation, and these rules can be formulated based on experience, test data or theoretical models. Through these rules, the adjustment range of the control parameter can be matched with the numerical deviation of the quality index, so as to effectively correct the quality deviation and ensure the product quality.

[0059] The deviation value of the number of defects reflects the gap between the actual number of defects in the knitted fabric and the acceptable standard number. When there is a deviation in the number of defects, by comparing the relevance between the preset control strategy and the defects, the factor corresponding to the strategy with a higher preset relevance can be the second control parameter, such as the adjustment of the equipment cleaning cycle.

[0060] Different deviations in the number of defects require different degrees of adjustment of the control parameter. For example, if the deviation value of the number of defects is less than or equal to 2, the equipment cleaning cycle can be shortened; if the deviation value of the number of defects is greater than 2, the equipment needs to be comprehensively overhauled and the cleaning cycle is greatly shortened.
