[0002] Three-dimensional woven preforms, with their lightweight, high strength, and excellent mechanical properties, are widely used in aerospace, defense, and other fields as key reinforcing structures for high-performance composite materials. However, during the preform weaving process, tension fluctuations in the warp system can easily lead to unclear shedding, yarn slack, insufficient shedding height, and yarn suspension. If the rapier weft insertion mechanism fails to respond in time, process failures such as yarn collision and snagging can easily occur, seriously affecting the weaving quality and production efficiency of the preforms.

[0003] In related technologies, vision systems are typically used for opening morphology detection. These systems acquire opening images and compare them with a preset template, outputting a stop signal when a deviation is detected. However, this method has low accuracy when detecting openings in complex fabric structures, and manual adjustments are still required when anomalies occur, resulting in a significant reduction in the weaving efficiency of the loom.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] As mentioned earlier, existing methods have low accuracy when detecting openings in complex fabrics, and manual adjustments are still required when anomalies occur, which greatly reduces the working efficiency of the loom.

[0016] Based on this, the concept of the present invention is to improve the accuracy of identifying abnormal loom openings by using both image and fiber optic detection methods, and to generate obstacle avoidance paths through a preset rapier obstacle avoidance algorithm to ensure the normal operation of the loom.

[0017] The following describes the specific implementation of the above concept.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a rapier weft insertion adjustment method based on the detection of sheathed yarn on a loom, the method comprising: Step 100: Acquire image data to characterize the loom opening morphology and optical fiber signals to characterize the yarn state in the loom opening area; Step 102: Perform anomaly detection on image data and fiber optic signals with the same timestamp according to the preset detection algorithm to obtain the detection results; Step 104: Determine whether there is an abnormal sheathing of the loom based on the detection results. If so, generate a rapier obstacle avoidance path according to the preset rapier obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the rapier movement trajectory; otherwise, weaving proceeds normally according to the preset process.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, firstly, a high-definition image data of the yarn sheathing area is captured in real time using an image acquisition device, while simultaneously acquiring fiber optic signals to characterize abnormal yarn conditions in the sheathing area of ​​the loom. Next, a preset detection algorithm is used to analyze and process the image data to determine if any abnormality exists, and this data is fused with the fiber optic sensor signal in time synchronization. Any abnormality triggering results in a fault determination. Finally, a path point sequence is generated based on an obstacle avoidance algorithm, and the tracking trajectory of the rapier servo motor is precisely adjusted to ensure the normal operation of the loom. This method improves the accuracy of yarn sheathing abnormality identification through dual optical and fiber optic detection, effectively solving the yarn abnormality problem in high-speed weaving and significantly improving the weaving efficiency and quality stability of carbon fiber preforms.

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The description shows how each step is performed.

[0021] First, for step 100, image data for characterizing the loom opening morphology and optical fiber signals for characterizing the yarn state in the loom opening area are acquired.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, image data is acquired through a preset image sensor. This sensor includes two industrial-grade high-definition cameras (2 megapixels or higher) and a strip LED light source. The two cameras are mounted side-by-side on the outside of the rapier guide rail using an aluminum alloy bracket, and rise and fall synchronously with the rapier for real-time image acquisition. Figure 5 The image shows the opening region.

[0023] Specifically, two high-definition industrial cameras are equipped with 16mm fixed-focus lenses. The cameras are fixedly mounted to the outside of the rapier guide rail using aluminum alloy brackets, allowing for synchronized vertical movement with the rapier. A strip-shaped LED light source is mounted on the weft selection system frame, secured with a dedicated bracket, and can rise and fall synchronously with the weft selection system. The light source is powered by a constant current driver, providing uniform backlighting in the opening area.

[0024] The fiber optic signal is acquired through a pre-set fiber optic sensor. A regional fiber optic sensor, consisting of a transmitting fiber bundle and a receiving fiber bundle, is used to cover the opening area with a light strip, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it identifies abnormal conditions such as loose yarn and drooping yarn. The built-in amplification and filtering circuit converts the optical intensity signal at the fiber optic receiver into a digital level.

[0025] For example, an FT-a32 area fiber optic sensor can be used, with the transmitter and receiver mounted on dedicated brackets on the rapier side and weft selection side, respectively. The probe spacing is adjusted to 150mm, forming a light curtain covering the entire width of the loom. The sensor sensitivity is set to trigger upon detecting yarn obstruction with a diameter of 0.5mm or larger, and the digital signal is transmitted in real time via a bus to subsequent detection and obstacle avoidance modules, for example... Figure 7 The diagram shows the situation where the open yarn is covered.

[0026] It is worth noting that, considering the possibility of yarn curling upwards at the edge of the loom during the weaving process, this embodiment also includes a method to blow the curled yarns down. Figure 8 The pneumatic nozzle shown is a 3D-printed flat nozzle made of ABS resin. The nozzle outlet has a narrow, flat structure with a length of 20mm and a width of 1.5mm, and an airflow diffusion angle >60 degrees. The nozzle is connected to the pneumatic system via a solenoid valve, and the working air pressure is stabilized at 0.4-0.6MPa. The nozzle is mounted above the area fiber optic sensor and continuously sprays air downwards to disperse minor yarn obstructions.

[0027] Then, for step 102, anomaly detection is performed on image data and fiber optic signals with the same timestamp according to the preset detection algorithm to obtain the detection results.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the core processor for detecting image data and fiber optic signals is an Advantech UNO-2484G industrial-grade embedded industrial control computer equipped with an Intel i7 processor. After the industrial control computer starts up, it automatically loads preset system parameters, including image acquisition parameters, motion control parameters, and various detection thresholds, and completes the self-test and readiness status confirmation of each hardware module.

[0029] Furthermore, a hardware triggering mechanism is used to achieve synchronous acquisition of multi-source data. The motion control card sends a synchronization signal the instant the rapier begins to move, simultaneously triggering dual-camera image acquisition and fiber optic sensor data acquisition, and assigning a unified timestamp to all data to ensure the time consistency of data processing.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, anomaly detection of image data and fiber optic signals with the same timestamp includes: detecting the intelligently processed image data and determining that images meeting preset characteristics in the detection results are abnormal images; filtering the fiber optic signals and determining that signals with light intensity attenuation greater than a preset threshold after filtering are abnormal signals.

[0031] Specifically, this embodiment uses a core algorithm that combines intelligent localization of yarn anomaly search areas with anomaly detection based on Blob analysis to analyze image data: First, an edge feature matching algorithm is used to locate the upper and lower boundaries of the opening. Then, a dynamic ROI generation technique is used to automatically generate a dynamic rectangular detection region between the upper and lower boundary lines, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this region adaptively adjusts as the opening shape changes.

[0032] Next, the image data within the rectangular detection area is filtered and denoised, and then converted into a binary image using adaptive threshold segmentation, such as... Figure 10 As shown, this is to separate the abnormal yarn from the background.

[0033] For example, Gaussian filtering is applied to the image within the region to remove noise, and then the cv2.adaptiveThreshold() function in the OpenCV library is used for adaptive thresholding to obtain a high-contrast binary image, where the abnormal yarn is white (255) and the background is black (0).

[0034] Furthermore, connected component analysis is performed on the binary image according to a preset function, and the geometric and morphological features of interconnected pixel regions in each binary image are calculated based on the analysis results; all calculation results are identified according to preset abnormal features, and images that meet the abnormal features are determined to be abnormal images.

[0035] For example, the `cv2.connectedComponentsWithStats()` function performs connected component analysis on binary images, calculating the geometric and morphological features of interconnected pixel regions (blobs) in each binary image. For instance, if a blob has an area > 50 pixels and an aspect ratio > 4, it is classified as "slack yarn". Once a blob matching these features is found, the pixel region is immediately identified as an anomaly.

[0036] Furthermore, for fiber optic signals, when the fiber optic sensor detects fiber optic obstruction, that is, when the light intensity attenuation after filtering is greater than a preset threshold, such as 15%, it is determined to be "fiber optic detection abnormal," and this signal is an abnormal signal.

[0037] For step 104, determine whether there is an abnormal sheathing of the loom based on the detection results. If so, generate a rapier obstacle avoidance path according to the preset rapier obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the rapier movement trajectory; otherwise, weaving proceeds normally according to the preset process.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, it is determined whether there is an abnormal image or an abnormal signal at the same timestamp. If so, it is determined that the loom has an opening abnormality; otherwise, it is determined that the loom does not have an opening abnormality. That is to say, as long as either of the two is triggered simultaneously, an opening fault is determined, and subsequent obstacle avoidance intervention procedures are initiated.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, generating a sword pole obstacle avoidance path according to a preset sword pole obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the sword pole's motion trajectory includes the following steps: First, the rectangular detection area of ​​the abnormal image is mapped to a preset spatial coordinate system, and the mapped area is marked as the obstacle area; wherein, the spatial coordinate system is obtained by discretizing the motion plane of the sword; the size of the obstacle will be increased by 2mm on the basis of the actual circumscribed rectangle to ensure that the sword can pass safely even if there are small tracking errors.

[0040] Next, the current position of the rapier is taken as the starting point of the path, and the safe endpoint of the latitude guide is taken as the target point of the path. The A-StarAlgorithm is then input to obtain the sequence of collision-free shortest path points from the starting point to the target point in the obstacle region: .

[0041] Finally, curve fitting is performed on the collision-free shortest path point sequence based on spline curves to obtain a smooth path for tracking the rapier motion mechanism.

[0042] Furthermore, the difference between the real-time position of the sword stick and the smooth path is determined by the PID controller, and a control quantity is output to the servo driver according to the difference to adjust the movement of the sword stick along the smooth path.

[0043] Specifically, the purpose of the PID controller is to enable the actual position of the sword stick to quickly, accurately, and smoothly track the planned desired position. By reading the feedback value of the servo motor encoder, the real-time position r(t) of the sword stick is obtained. This position is compared with the desired path point T(t) to obtain the position tolerance e(t). Using the classic PID control algorithm, a control quantity u(t) is output as an analog voltage to the driver of the servo motor that drives the sword stick. The driver adjusts the motor speed and torque according to the command, ultimately driving the sword stick to move, eliminating position deviation, and thus achieving precise control of its motion trajectory.

[0044] It is worth noting that after generating a scimitar obstacle avoidance path according to the preset scimitar obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the scimitar movement trajectory, the method further includes: when the scimitar obstacle avoidance algorithm cannot generate a scimitar obstacle avoidance path, it is determined that the scimitar cannot pass through the opening by moving its position. At this time, the scimitar is stopped and an alarm is triggered to wait for manual handling.

[0045] In summary, this method achieves intelligent sensing and precise control of the loom's sheathing state, effectively solving the problem of yarn collision in high-performance weaving. Each parameter can be adjusted according to actual production needs, demonstrating good adaptability and scalability.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 11 This invention provides a rapier weft insertion adjustment device based on the detection of sheathed yarn on a loom. The device includes: The acquisition module M1 is used to acquire image data that characterizes the sheath shape of the loom and optical fiber signals that characterize the yarn state in the sheath area of ​​the loom. The detection module M2 is used to perform anomaly detection on image data and fiber optic signals with the same timestamp according to a preset detection algorithm, and obtain the detection results. The obstacle avoidance module M3 is used to determine whether there is an abnormal sheathing of the loom based on the detection results. If so, it generates a rapier obstacle avoidance path according to the preset rapier obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the rapier movement trajectory; otherwise, it carries out weaving normally according to the preset process.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, when the detection module M2 performs anomaly detection on image data and fiber optic signals with the same timestamp according to a preset detection algorithm and obtains the detection results, it specifically performs the following operations: detects the intelligently processed image data and determines that the images in the detection results that meet the preset characteristics are abnormal images; filters the fiber optic signals and determines that the signals whose light intensity attenuation after filtering is greater than a preset threshold are abnormal signals.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, when the detection module M2 performs detection on the intelligently processed image data and determines that an image satisfying preset features in the detection results is an abnormal image, it specifically performs the following operations: locates the upper and lower boundaries of the opening according to an edge feature matching algorithm, generating an adaptive rectangular detection region that changes with the shape of the opening; performs filtering and noise reduction processing on the image data within the rectangular detection region, and converts the processed data into a binary image through adaptive threshold segmentation to separate the abnormal yarn from the background; performs connected component analysis on the binary image according to a preset function, and calculates the geometric and morphological features of interconnected pixel regions in each binary image based on the analysis results; identifies all calculation results according to preset abnormal features, and determines that an image conforming to the abnormal features is an abnormal image.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, when the obstacle avoidance module M3 determines whether the loom has an opening abnormality based on the detection results, it specifically performs the following operations: it determines whether there is an abnormal image or abnormal signal at the same timestamp; if so, it determines that the loom has an opening abnormality; otherwise, it determines that the loom does not have an opening abnormality.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, when the obstacle avoidance module M3 generates an obstacle avoidance path for the sparring pole according to a preset obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the sparring pole's motion trajectory, it specifically performs the following operations: mapping the rectangular detection area of ​​the abnormal image to a preset spatial coordinate system, and marking the mapped area as an obstacle area; wherein, the spatial coordinate system is obtained by discretizing the motion plane of the sparring pole; taking the current position of the sparring pole as the path starting point and the safe latitude endpoint as the path target point, inputting the A-Star Algorithm algorithm, and outputting the sequence of collision-free shortest path points from the path starting point to the path target point in the obstacle area; performing curve fitting on the sequence of collision-free shortest path points according to a spline curve to obtain a smooth path for tracking the sparring pole's motion mechanism; determining the difference between the real-time position of the sparring pole and the smooth path through a PID controller, and outputting a control quantity to the servo driver according to the difference to adjust the sparring pole's movement along the smooth path.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, after generating a sword pole obstacle avoidance path according to a preset sword pole obstacle avoidance algorithm to adjust the sword pole movement trajectory, the method further includes: when the sword pole obstacle avoidance algorithm cannot generate a sword pole obstacle avoidance path, determining that the sword pole cannot pass through the opening by moving its position, stopping the sword pole movement and triggering an alarm to await manual handling.
