[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for automatically switching the light source of a cloth inspection machine includes a PLC control module 5, a multi-level light source 6 and a photoelectric sensing module 8. The photoelectric sensing module 8 is used to collect fabric color information of an object to be inspected 9. The PLC control module 5 is used to control the switching of the irradiation light of the multi-level light source 6 according to the fabric color information collected by the photoelectric sensing module 8. The multi-level light source 6 is used to irradiate the object to be inspected 9.

[0028] In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensing module 8 is a photoelectric sensing module 8 with an amplifying circuit.

[0029] It should be noted that dark fabrics require higher brightness to highlight details, while light fabrics require lower brightness to prevent overexposure. Brightly colored fabrics require a light source that complements their color to enhance contrast and visibility of details.

[0030] Therefore, it is very important for the photoelectric sensing module 8 to accurately detect the color depth of the fabric. In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensing module 8 selects a photodiode sensor.

[0031] Photodiode sensors offer the following advantages:

[0032] 1) High photoelectric conversion efficiency: Photodiodes can efficiently convert light energy into electrical energy, improving energy utilization efficiency. When light shines on the PN junction of a photodiode, the energy of the photon will be transferred to the electrons in the conduction band, causing them to jump to the conduction band to form a current.

[0033] 2) High sensitivity: Photodiodes respond quickly to light and can sense changes in light in real time. Changes in light intensity will quickly cause corresponding changes in current.

[0034] 3) Wide response frequency: Photodiodes have a wide response frequency range to light signals and can receive light signals of various wavelengths from infrared to ultraviolet. Photodiodes made of different materials have different response ranges to light signals of different wavelengths.

[0035] However, considering that the current change caused by the change in the brightness of the detected object by the photodiode is very small, a photodiode with a corresponding amplification circuit is selected, and different thresholds can be set according to the brightness requirements of the detection environment. The photodiode is responsible for collecting light signals, and the amplification circuit enhances the signal to improve the detection sensitivity. A high-precision amplifier, such as an operational amplifier, is used to amplify the weak signal collected by the photoelectric sensor. When the PLC control module 5 detects that the analog signal input reaches different thresholds, it will trigger the control of the relevant light source.

[0036] In this embodiment, it also includes an image acquisition module 7 and a visual detection module 4. The image acquisition module 7 is used to acquire image information of the object to be detected 9. The image acquisition module 7 is signal-connected to the visual detection module 4, and the visual detection module 4 is signal-connected to the PLC control module 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, a master control cabinet 3 is further included, and the PLC control module 5 and the visual detection module 4 are controlled by the master control cabinet 3 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a main power supply 1 for power supply is also included.

[0039] In this embodiment, a production line 2 for conveying the inspected object 9 to the inspecting station is also included.

[0040] The working steps of the utility model are as follows:

[0041] Step 1: Turn on the main power of the equipment 1, and the production line 2 starts working;

[0042] Step 2: The object 9 to be detected starts to run;

[0043] Step 3: Turn on the power of the master control cabinet 3 and turn on the visual inspection module 4;

[0044] Step 4: The PLC control module 5, the photoelectric sensing module 8, the image acquisition module 7, and the multi-level light source 6 are powered on and in standby mode.

[0045] Implementation case 1 details:

[0046] After the user turns on the main power 1, the production line 2 starts to work. Then the power of the main control cabinet 3 is turned on, the visual inspection module 4 is turned on to enter the working system, and the object to be inspected 9 starts to run. The photoelectric sensing module 8 starts to work synchronously when the object to be inspected 9 is running. The photoelectric sensing module 8 automatically detects the fabric color of the object to be inspected 9, identifies the fabric color that needs to be supplemented with light, and turns on the multi-level light source 6 for supplementary light through the PLC control module 5, and supplies the multi-level light source 6 required by the image acquisition module 7. The image acquisition module 7 completes the data acquisition of the object to be inspected 9 under the appropriate multi-level light source 6 environment.

[0047] Implementation Case 2 Details:

[0048] After the user turns on the main power 1, the production line 2 starts working. Then the power of the main control cabinet 3 is turned on, the visual inspection module 4 is turned on to enter the working system, and the object to be inspected 9 starts running. The photoelectric sensing module 8 starts working synchronously when the object to be inspected 9 is running. The photoelectric sensing module 8 automatically detects the fabric color of the object to be inspected 9. The visual inspection module 4 collects the image of the object to be inspected 9 through the image acquisition module 7. According to the data collected by the image acquisition module 7 and the photoelectric sensing module 8, the color of the fabric that needs to be supplemented with light is automatically detected. Then, the multi-level light source 5 for supplementing light is turned on through the control module 5, and the multi-level light source 6 required by the image acquisition module 7 is output. The image acquisition module 7 completes the data acquisition of the object to be inspected 9 under the appropriate multi-level light source 6 environment.

[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
