AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for detecting loose threads in carpets suffer from high false negative rates, low efficiency, and difficulty in accurately locating repair points. This is especially true when the visual contrast of dark or patterned carpet surfaces is low, making machine vision inspection prone to misjudgment or false negatives.
The carpet is electrostatically applied by an electrostatic agent, which makes the yarn ends stand upright. The dyeing agent then applies a misting mixture with electrostatic charge. Combined with real-time monitoring by an electrostatic detection sensor, the yarn ends are quickly located and dyed.
It improves the detection and repair efficiency of yarn ends, ensures accurate positioning and rapid identification of yarn ends, and reduces the rate of missed detections.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of defect detection, in particular to a carpet surface defect detection device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the carpet production process, excess yarn ends are one of the key defects affecting product quality. Such yarn ends not only affect the flatness and aesthetics of the carpet surface, but also may cause problems such as falling off and entanglement during subsequent use, reducing user experience. Therefore, accurately identifying and removing the excess yarn ends is a core requirement in the carpet quality detection process.
[0003] Currently, the industry mainly relies on two types of technologies for detecting carpet excess yarn ends: one is manual visual inspection, in which the detection personnel observes the carpet surface in sections under standard light and identifies the upright or loose excess yarn ends with the naked eye. This method is simple to operate and low in cost, but has significant drawbacks: on the one hand, it is affected by factors such as subjective judgment differences and long-term detection fatigue, resulting in high miss rate and low efficiency; the second is machine vision detection technology, which captures carpet surface images through an industrial camera and identifies excess yarn ends using algorithms. However, this technology is limited by the low visual contrast between excess yarn ends and the main body of the carpet: the carpet surface pile is in a fluffy state, and the shape and color difference between the excess yarn ends and the normal pile is small, especially on dark or patterned carpet surfaces, the algorithm is prone to misjudgment of the excess yarn ends as normal pile, or miss detection due to the attachment of the yarn ends to the carpet surface. And this kind of detection method, after the equipment takes a photo and locks the defect, the carpet needs to continue to move and be conveyed to the manual repair station, so that the position of the detected defect will also be displaced due to the movement of the carpet, and the repair personnel cannot directly lock the repair position.

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.
[0016] Embodiment one Refer to the attached Figures 1-6 A carpet surface defect detection device, comprising a pay-off roller 100, a take-up roller 200 and a guide roller 300, and an electrostatic mechanism 1 and a coloring mechanism 2 are arranged between the pay-off roller 100 and the take-up roller 200.

[0017] The existing detection through machine vision detection technology, the carpet needs to continue to move and convey to the artificial repair table, so that the carpet moves, and the detected defective position will also be displaced, the maintenance personnel cannot directly lock the repair position, thereby affecting the repair efficiency.
[0018] The present application applies electricity to the carpet, so that the excess yarn ends form static electricity. When detecting, the carpet moves between the unwinding roller 100, the winding roller 200 and the guide roller 300, and enters the moving chamber 500. After the high-voltage electrostatic generator 4 is connected to the workshop industrial power supply, low-voltage alternating current is converted into high-voltage direct current through the internal high-frequency transformer and the voltage doubling rectifier circuit. Then the high-voltage direct current is transmitted to the first needle electrode 5. At this time, if the high-voltage electrostatic generator 4 is connected to the positive electrode of the first needle electrode 5, the tip will repel positive ions and attract negative ions. Finally, the positive ions move to the yarn ends on the surface of the carpet under the action of the electric field force. At this time, the carpet slowly moves in the moving chamber 500, and the rotation of the electric roller 3 will make the first needle electrode 5 continuously contact the carpet. The positive ions released by the electrode tip of the first needle electrode 5 will be attached to the surface of the yarn ends by the contact transfer method. Therefore, for loose and upright ends, the positive ions directly contact the ends and transfer the charge, so that the ends are quickly positively charged. For the ends attached to the main body of the carpet, the positive ions first attach to the surface of the main body of the carpet, and then the surface of the ends is induced to have a negative charge through charge induction. At the same time, the positive charge inside the ends moves away from the main body. Finally, under the action of the electric field force, the ends gradually separate from the main body and absorb positive ions, completing the charging.
[0019] Subsequently, the positively charged yarn will be subjected to two repulsive forces: one is the repulsive force between the carpet body and the yarn, and the other is the repulsive force between adjacent yarns. The two forces work together to overcome the weight of the yarn and the adhesion between the fibers, making the originally attached and loose yarn gradually stand up and expand its difference with the carpet body, preparing for subsequent coloring.
[0020] As the carpet continues to move into the detection shell 12, the static electricity of the yarn can be monitored in real time by the electrostatic detection sensor 6. If the static electricity is insufficient, the second needle electrode 7 will be in contact with the carpet again to supplement the electricity, avoiding the subsequent adsorption failure caused by weak static electricity.
[0021] When the carpet moves in the detection shell 12, the carpet surface that should be upright and the yarn will be squeezed. When it stops moving in the coloring shell 21, the surface of the carpet will enter the surface cavity 241, and the excess yarn will pass through the isolation cavity 242 into the coloring shell 21. The yarn is located between the air suction shell 23 and the working shell 24. At this time, the air suction machine 22 works to generate suction force. The air suction shell 23 aligned with the isolation cavity 242 can have a certain upward adsorption force. This further ensures that the yarn enters the coloring shell 21. Subsequently, the atomizer 26 atomizes the mixed liquid and applies a negative charge to it through the electrode ring 27 when it is discharged. Subsequently, the mixed liquid is discharged between the working shell 24 and the air suction shell 23 through the nozzle 28. The atomized mixed liquid is forced to adsorb a negative charge, thereby forming negatively charged colored particles. Subsequently, between the working shell 24 and the air suction shell 23, the negatively charged mixed liquid particles will be adsorbed with the positively charged yarn, and the yarn will complete the dyeing. Subsequently, the carpet is moved, and then the dyed yarn can be quickly found by the operator when it is moved to the repair workbench.
[0022] And it needs to be explained that in this embodiment, the colored pigment can be selected as azo red solid particles, and the volatile solvent can be selected as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. The surface tension of the volatile solvent is low, 20-30 mN / m, which is much lower than that of water, 72 mN / m. Under the action of the atomizer, it is easy to be broken into uniform droplets of 5-10 μm. This size can overcome its own gravity to avoid rapid falling and can be stably suspended in the electrostatic field to avoid escaping with the airflow, which exactly matches the adsorption requirement of the yarn diameter of 0.1-1 mm, ensuring that each atomized particle can effectively contact the yarn.
[0023] In addition, during the specific operation, the atomized mixed liquid will also be adsorbed by the air suction shell 23 when coloring the yarn, avoiding deposition in the coloring shell 21. In addition, the nozzle 28 is directly opposite the isolation cavity 242, so that the atomized mixed liquid can be colored on the yarn first and then be sucked away.
[0024] In addition, in the embodiment, the detection device is provided with a detection camera 400, which can be arranged at the guide roller 300 to perform machine vision detection in the prior art, and can also be arranged at the winding roller 200 to perform re-inspection after dyeing.
[0025] In addition, specifically, the two sides of the moving chamber 500 are provided with rubber curtains 600, one of which is fixed on the shell 11, and the other is fixed on the dyeing shell 21, so that the carpet can continuously pass through but prevent gas from overflowing, avoiding static electricity leakage. The inner wall of the dyeing shell 21 is provided with a conductive coating and is connected with the grounding system of the workshop, so that the conductive coating on the inner wall of the cavity is grounded, and finally forms a complete path with the ground, so that the charge on the conductive coating can be quickly introduced into the ground, avoiding the accumulation of charge.
[0026] The shell 11, the detection shell 12, the dyeing shell 21, the air suction shell 23 and the operation shell 24 are all made of insulating materials, and the top of the isolation cavity 242 is hinged with rubber partitions 243. When working, the thread will first pass through the isolation cavity 242 due to its light weight, and then the rubber partition 243 will be sucked up under the action of the continuous air suction shell 23, so as to cover the isolation cavity 242, preventing the atomized mixture from entering the operation shell 24.
[0027] Embodiment two Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , based on the basis of embodiment one, the electric power supply mechanism 1 further comprises a hot air blower 15 installed outside the shell 11, the hot air blower 15 is communicated with an air pipe 16 located in the shell 11, the air pipe 16 is provided with a plurality of air outlets, the air pipe 16 is located beside the electric roller 3, and the air outlets of the air pipe 16 are inclinedly arranged.
[0028] In the embodiment, a plurality of friction rods 32 are equidistantly distributed on the electric roller 3, the surface of the electric roller 3 is provided with a roller sleeve 31, the bottom of the shell 11 is rotatably installed with a jacking roller 17, the jacking roller 17 is located below the electric roller 3, and the top of the shell 11 is installed with two symmetrical dehairing shells 13, the dehairing shells 13 are hinged to the shell 11, and the dehairing shells 13 are provided with sticky heads 14.
[0029] In the embodiment, in order to improve the effect of enhancing static electricity of the carpet, the roller sleeve 31 and the friction rod 32 are used to generate static electricity by friction, specifically, the static electricity is generated by friction between different materials, such as the friction between the carpet fiber and the insulating material, which generates additional static electricity. After superposition with high-voltage static electricity, the surface potential of the thread can be increased, the standing is more obvious, and the static electricity retention time is longer. Specifically, if the surface of the carpet is polyester / polyamide, the roller sleeve 31 and the friction rod 32 are made of silica gel material, and if the carpet is wool, the roller sleeve 31 and the friction rod 32 are made of nylon material, so as to ensure that the static electricity of the same polarity of the high-voltage electrode is avoided to be offset by the charge after friction. The hot air blower 15 is started to input hot air into the shell 11 through the air pipe 16, and the hot air can blow the loose yarn ends on the surface of the carpet, especially in a humid environment, the fibers are easy to stick together, the hot air can make the yarn ends more fluffy, and at the same time, the humidity of the fibers is reduced, and the dry fibers are easier to store static electricity than the humid fibers, and the leakage of static electricity caused by water vapor is reduced.
[0030] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the temperature of the hot air is strictly controlled between 30-45℃ to avoid fire, and a temperature sensor is arranged in the shell 11 to monitor the temperature in real time.
[0031] The friction rod 32 can also adhere to the excess hair-like bodies on the carpet, which are similar to the dropped fluff on a sweater, and the hair-like bodies are adhered by the friction rod 32, and when the friction rod 32 rotates to the dehairing shell 13, the excess hair-like bodies are adhered and discharged by the adhering head 14.
