[0002] As an indispensable basic material in manufacturing industry, cold-rolled strip steel is widely used in many core fields such as automobile manufacturing, home appliance production, building decoration, etc. The quality of the strip head directly affects the stability of subsequent rolling, stamping, welding and other processes, as well as the precision and service life of the final product. In the cold rolling production process, the strip head is prone to edge cracks, edge waves, emulsion stains, oil stains and other defects due to factors such as raw material blank defects, rolling equipment wear, tension fluctuations, uneven temperature, etc. If these defects are not timely and effectively removed, they will further expand in subsequent processing, leading to strip tearing, equipment jamming, and increased production energy consumption and maintenance costs, which seriously restricts production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] The existing strip head shearing technology mainly relies on manual visual judgment or fixed length shearing mode. The manual visual method is affected by factors such as operator experience, visual fatigue, and environmental light, has low defect recognition accuracy and strong subjectivity, and is difficult to accurately locate the defect position and assess the defect severity, often resulting in insufficient or excessive shearing. The fixed length shearing mode does not consider the actual distribution and type difference of the strip head defects, and only shears according to the preset uniform length, which cannot completely remove the defect area and may cause a large amount of qualified strip steel material waste, resulting in reduced raw material utilization.
