[0033] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and not for limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner. Therefore, only the components related to the present invention are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in actual implementation.

[0035] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in detail to avoid making the embodiments of the present invention difficult to understand.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of the automatic steel coil diversion method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the automatic steel coil diversion method may include steps S110 to S130, which are introduced in detail as follows:

[0037] Step S110, obtain an image of the steel coil.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, an image recognition device, such as a high-definition camera, is installed on the production line of the steel coil to capture images of the steel coil on the production line. It should be noted that the images of the steel coil include the images of the steel strip during the production process and the images of the steel coil after the steel strip is made into a steel coil, that is, at each stage of the steel coil production process, there is an image recognition device to capture images of it. Subsequently, all the captured images are uploaded to the control system.

[0039] Step S120, determine the category of the steel coil according to the image.

[0040] Specifically, the categories of the steel coil include qualified steel coils and defective steel coils.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, all images of the steel coil are recognized to obtain the status information of the steel coil. It should be noted that the status information of the steel coil includes the surface information of the steel strip, such as whether there are prominent viscous blocky oil stains on the surface of the steel strip, whether there are irregular parts at the head and tail, overflow edges, etc.; and the overall information of the steel coil, such as whether there are loose coils, flat coils, hanging injuries, etc.

[0042] Based on the obtained status information of the steel coil, the steel coils are classified, replacing the process of manually discriminating the steel coils, which is beneficial to reducing labor costs. Steel coils with prominent viscous blocky oil stains on the surface of the steel strip, or irregular parts at the head and tail, or overflow edges, etc. are classified as defective steel coils, and steel coils with loose coils, flat coils, hanging injuries, etc. are classified as defective steel coils; the remaining steel coils are classified as qualified steel coils.

[0043] Step S130, divert the steel coils to different areas based on the category of the steel coil.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the steel coil is conveyed to the shunting table through the conveying line, the steel coil is shunted to different areas for storage based on the type of the steel coil. It should be noted that one type of steel coil corresponds to one storage area, so as to achieve the effect of shunting the steel coil, avoid the occupation of the stacking position for storing qualified steel coils by defective steel coils, and is beneficial to improving the warehousing efficiency of qualified steel coils.

[0045] In one embodiment, the qualified steel coils are warehoused, and the defective steel coils are returned to the production line for repair, which simplifies the conveying process of the defective steel coils.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the steel coil automatic shunting method may further include steps S210 to S220, which are introduced in detail as follows:

[0047] Step S210, obtaining the code of the steel coil.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, a scanning device, such as a bar code scanner, a radio frequency identification device, etc., is set on the steel coil production line to scan the bar code on the steel coil, identify the identity of the steel coil, and upload the scanned code information to the control system.

[0049] Step S220, mapping the image of the steel coil to the code and establishing a database.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of images of the obtained steel coil are mapped to the code of the steel coil, so that the code of the input steel coil can retrieve the images taken at each production stage of the steel coil. And a database is established according to the code and image of the steel coil, which can be used for recheck when quality disputes occur subsequently, and can also provide image support for repairing defective steel coils subsequently, so as to improve the repair efficiency of defective steel coils.

[0051] In summary, the solution of this embodiment obtains the image of the steel coil, and by identifying the image, it can judge the type of the steel coil corresponding to the image, thus replacing the manual inspection of the steel coil, which is beneficial to reducing the labor cost; subsequently, based on the type of the steel coil, the steel coil is shunted to shunt different types of steel coils to different areas, avoiding the occupation of the stacking position for storing qualified steel coils by defective steel coils, and simplifying the conveying process of defective steel coils, which is beneficial to improving the warehousing efficiency of qualified steel coils.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the shunt module includes a conveyor line, a shunt table, a trolley, a first flatbed truck, a second flatbed truck, and a traveling crane. Among them, the conveyor line is used to transport the steel coils to the shunt table. After the steel coil moves to the shunt table, the trolley pushes the steel coil onto the first flatbed truck or the second flatbed truck. The first flatbed truck is used to return the defective steel coils to the production line, and the traveling crane is used to store the qualified steel coils located on the second flatbed truck in the warehouse, thus completing the shunt of the steel coils.
