[0002] In recent years, my country's chemical fiber industry has been developing increasingly towards automation and intelligence, following the trend of Industry 4.0. In terms of chemical fiber packaging, major domestic chemical fiber manufacturers have purchased and installed highly automated and information-based automatic packaging line systems.

[0003] Conventional chemical fiber automatic packaging lines use a six-spindle-per-box packaging method for packaging AA / AAA bobbins of normal diameter, using gantry or robot grabbing and packaging, which is very efficient. However, this packaging method is not suitable for packaging small-diameter AA / AAA batches or partially wound bobbins of grades A and B.

[0004] That is to say, under the packaging conditions of conventional diameter bobbins, the feasibility and actual use effect of the existing packaging system are good. However, on the one hand, the output of bobbins of recyclable materials and ultra-fine fibers in the market is increasing year by year. The diameters of these two types of bobbins are very small, and the conventional packing method of 6 spindles per box cannot be used; on the other hand, the A-grade spindles in this system can only be packed manually, and a fully automated packing process cannot be achieved. There is still room for improvement in the degree of automation. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0018] To address the low level of automation in existing bobbin yarn packaging solutions, this solution provides a multifunctional chemical fiber packaging line system that can flexibly switch packaging modes based on the type of product being packaged, maximizing system utilization and improving packaging efficiency. The following non-limiting examples illustrate the specific implementation of this solution.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a chemical fiber multifunctional packaging line system provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the system includes the following modules: online module, weighing module, automatic external inspection module, manual external inspection module, packing module and palletizing module. The functions of each module are as follows: The online module is used to grab the bobbin yarn from the turntable to the pallet, and interact with the host computer to bind the bobbin yarn information with the pallet.

[0020] In some embodiments, the on-line module includes: a yarn grabbing robot, two turntables and a multi-section small roller track.

[0021] The pre-processed bobbins are loaded onto a spinning car, which then transports them to a turntable. A yarn-grabbing robot grabs the yarn from the car on the turntable and places it on a small roller tray. The small roller, part of the transport track, transports the tray to other modules for further processing. The online module can also include a communication module to facilitate information exchange with the host computer.

[0022] The weighing module is used to weigh the bobbins and determine the grade based on the weight.

[0023] In some embodiments, the weighing module specifically includes: Multiple weighing mechanisms for weighing the bobbins; Multi-section small roller track for conveying package yarn; A grading computer for determining the grade of the package based on the package weight.

[0024] Specifically, the on-line module delivers the bobbins to the weighing module, where they are then weighed at various weighing mechanisms. The weighing information is then sent to a grading computer for processing and calculation, and the bobbins are graded based on weight ranges, such as AAA / AA / A / B. The bobbins of different grades are then packed using corresponding packaging methods in subsequent processing steps.

[0025] The automatic external inspection module is used to automatically detect whether the appearance of the package yarn is qualified.

[0026] In some embodiments, the automatic external inspection module includes: Appearance image acquisition module, used to acquire the appearance image of the bobbin; An appearance inspection computer is used to inspect whether the appearance of the package yarn is qualified based on the package yarn appearance image.

[0027] Specifically, during the process of conveying bobbins, the appearance image acquisition module collects the appearance image of the corresponding bobbin yarn, and then inputs it into the appearance detection computer. The appearance detection computer determines whether the appearance of the bobbin yarn is qualified based on the built-in algorithm (for example, based on a neural network model). For bobbins that pass the automatic external inspection, they can continue to be transported to the packing module for packing. For bobbins that fail the automatic external inspection, they are transported to the manual external inspection module for manual appearance re-inspection to further determine whether the appearance is qualified.

[0028] The manual external inspection module is used to re-inspect the appearance of the bobbins that fail the automatic external inspection.

[0029] In some embodiments, the manual external inspection module includes: An external inspection computer to display the appearance of the package to be re-inspected; Multi-section small roller track for conveying package yarn.

[0030] Specifically, the appearance images captured by the appearance image acquisition module of the automatic inspection module are also sent to the inspection computer of the manual inspection module. The inspection computer displays the appearance image of the bobbin to be re-inspected. A human then checks the image to determine whether the appearance is acceptable. Bobbins that pass the manual re-inspection are then transported to the boxing module for packing.

[0031] The packing module is used to select different packing modes for packing according to the grade and diameter of the yarn.

[0032] The diameter information of the bobbin yarn can be collected by the detection module during the process of transporting the bobbin yarn.

[0033] Additionally, the boxing modes include: Fully automatic packing mode: AA / AAA grade normal diameter bobbins are packed by packing gantry, while A / B grade bobbins are packed by packing robots; Semi-automatic packing mode: AA / AAA grade normal diameter bobbins are packed by the packing gantry, while A / B grade bobbins are packed manually; Fully manual packing mode: all packages are packed manually.

[0034] In fully automatic cartoning mode, bobbins of normal diameter AA / AAA yarn are packed into cartons of six spindles per carton by the gantry. This is the fastest method of cartoning, with a maximum speed of 12 seconds per carton and 2 seconds per spindle. The bobbins of normal diameter AA / AAA yarn are picked up by the gantry at the automatic gripping station and placed into cartons at the automatic cartoning station.

[0035] In the fully automatic packing mode, A / B grade bobbins are picked and packed by the automatic packing robot using the method of calculating the minimum remaining area based on the bobbin yarn diameter. This packing method is slow, with the fastest packing speed of 10S / spindle.

[0036] The fully automatic packing mode can achieve full automation of packing, but is limited by the packing speed of the current automatic packing robot. The optimal packaging speed is when the proportion of A / B grade spindles does not exceed 15%. When the proportion of A / B grade spindles is high, it will affect the overall packaging efficiency.

[0037] The semi-automatic packaging mode uses the same method as the fully automatic packaging. The difference is that A / B grade spindles are packed manually. The manual packing grabbing station and the packing station are located at different positions and are very close to each other, which greatly shortens the packing stroke. Under current technical conditions, the speed of manual picking is much better than automatic packing. Therefore, the speed of manual packing of A / B grade spindles can reach 2 to 3 times that of automatic packing, and is suitable for packaging conditions where the proportion of A / B grade spindles does not exceed 40%.

[0038] In the fully manual packaging mode, A / B grade spindles are also packed manually. The gantry automatic packing mode is eliminated, and a manual packing station is added behind the gantry packing station. Packers grab spindles from the manual pick-up station and place them into cartons at the manual packing station on the cartoning line. This packing mode is suitable for all A / B grade spindles and small-diameter AA / AAA spindles. In an eight-hour shift, the output can reach approximately 8,000 spindles.

[0039] In some embodiments, the boxing module includes: A packing robot for automatic packaging of A / B grade bobbins; A case packing gantry for automatic packaging of standard-sized AAA / AA grade packages; Two packing computers to control the packing process; Several small roller tracks and carton chain conveyor rollers; At least two manual packing stations for manual and rapid packaging of A / B and smaller diameter AA / AAA grade bobbins.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up a packing robot, a packing gantry and a manual packing station, it is possible to realize automatic packing of bobbins of different grades and diameters, thereby improving the packing efficiency.

[0041] The palletizing module is used to stack cartons filled with yarn cones onto pallets.

[0042] In some embodiments, the palletizing module includes: a mobile palletizing robot for picking up cartons filled with bobbins; Several palletizing stations are equipped with pallets for storing cartons filled with bobbins; Multiple gripping stations for mobile palletizing robots to grab cartons.

[0043] Specifically, cartons filled with bobbins are grabbed by the palletizing robot at the grabbing station and stacked on the pallets at the palletizing station. Finally, the full pallets are transported to the finished product warehouse.

[0044] Based on the above scheme, in the chemical fiber multifunctional packaging line system provided by this application, through the mutual cooperation of the online module, weighing module, automatic external inspection module, manual external inspection module, packing module and palletizing module, the full online packing and palletizing packaging of DTY bobbins except unqualified products is realized; and the packaging mode can be flexibly switched according to the different types of packaged products, thereby maximizing the utilization of the packaging system and improving packaging efficiency.

[0045] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a chemical fiber multifunctional packaging method, which is applied to the above-mentioned chemical fiber multifunctional packaging line system, including the following steps: S101: The on-line module grabs the bobbin from the turntable to the tray and binds the bobbin information; S102: Weighing and judging the quality of the bobbins through the weighing module; S103: Re-inspect the appearance of the bobbin through the external inspection module; S104: According to the grade and diameter of the bobbin yarn, select the fully automatic, semi-automatic or fully manual packing mode in the packing module for packing; S105: The cartons filled with yarn cones are stacked on the pallet through the palletizing module.

[0046] Based on the above method, the on-line boxing and palletizing of all bobbins except for unqualified products can be realized; and the packaging mode can be flexibly switched according to the different types of packaged products, thereby maximizing the use of the packaging system and improving packaging efficiency.
