Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] As Figure 1-2 shown, this intelligent inspection equipment for cashmere fabrics includes:

[0038] Frame 1 and support structure: The main body of the equipment is built on a sturdy metal frame 1, and the frame 1 is designed to be modular for easy installation and maintenance. The support frame 2 is made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy material and is firmly installed on the top of the frame 1 to ensure the stable support of the entire detection system.

[0039] Lifting module 3 and horizontal module 4: The lifting module 3 consists of a precision linear guide rail and a servo motor. Through precise control of the servo motor, the vertical up and down movement of the horizontal module 4 is realized, and the positioning accuracy reaches ±0.05 mm. The horizontal module 4 is also based on a high-precision linear guide rail, driving the left camera module 5 and the right camera module 7 to move horizontally along the inspection table 8. The horizontal movement accuracy is ±0.02 mm, the repeat positioning accuracy is ≤±0.01 mm, the maximum speed is controlled at 150 mm / s, and the acceleration is 0.75 m / s 2 , ensuring rapid and smooth coverage of the entire inspection area. The middle camera module 6 is fixed at the central intersection point of the two horizontal modules 4 to achieve detailed monitoring of the central area.

[0040] Camera group configuration: The camera group includes three high-resolution camera modules, each of which uses at least 1080P resolution, 60fps frame rate, 1-inch image sensor and f / 1.8 large aperture lens to ensure the capture of clear and delicate fabric images under various lighting conditions. The external packaging of the camera module meets the IP65 protection level, is dustproof and waterproof, and adapts to the working environment of a textile workshop. The specific identification of fabric defects is the use of existing technology, that is, the use of machine vision or deep learning to establish an identification module, which can quickly identify defects and record the image and coordinates of the defects. One method is as shown in Example 2 below.

[0041] Inspection table 8 and lighting: The surface of the inspection table 8 is paved with a transparent and wear-resistant acrylic plate, and has a built-in LED light source with adjustable brightness and color temperature to ensure uniform illumination of the fabric surface without shadow areas, which is conducive to defect identification.

[0042] Input mechanism 9 and clamps 10: The input mechanism 9 uses a high-quality conveyor belt, the surface of which is covered with antistatic material. Multiple sets of clamps 10 with flexible contact surfaces (rubber, silicone) are arranged along the rotation path. These clamps 10 can gently and firmly fix cashmere fabrics of different thicknesses to avoid pulling damage. The conveyor belt drive system controls the fabric to move smoothly on the inspection table 8, and the speed is adjustable in the range of 20-120m / min.

[0043] Human-machine interaction panel 11: The human-machine interaction panel 11 is integrated on one side of the device and adopts a touch screen design, which is intuitive and easy to operate. The embedded label printer in the panel can instantly print qualified or unqualified labels according to the test results, realizing rapid classification and quality traceability. In addition, the panel can display the test status, camera module field of view, test report and other information in real time, which is convenient for operators to monitor and adjust.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This embodiment discloses the use of machine vision and deep learning technology to establish a recognition module to achieve rapid and accurate identification of fabric defects. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0046] 1. Data collection and preprocessing

[0047] Sample preparation: First, you need to collect a large number of different types of cashmere fabric samples, including defective and non-defective ones. The defect types include common problems such as broken threads, color difference, stains, and hair balls.

[0048] Image acquisition: Using the designed camera module system, the sample is photographed at high resolution from multiple angles (left, center, and right) to ensure clear images covering all potential defect areas.

[0049] Image preprocessing: Denoise, grayscale, enhance contrast, adjust brightness, etc. for the collected images to improve image quality and facilitate subsequent feature extraction.

[0050] 2. Feature extraction and annotation

[0051] Feature selection: Based on features such as texture, color, and shape of fabric images, extract defect features through traditional image processing methods (such as edge detection, morphological processing) or the feature extraction layers of deep learning networks (such as the early layers of convolutional neural network CNN).

[0052] Data annotation: Carefully annotate the preprocessed images, mark the specific positions and types of defects, and form a training set. This step can be completed manually by professionals or assisted by semi-automatic annotation tools.

[0053] 3. Deep learning model construction

[0054] Model selection and training: Based on a large amount of annotated image data, select a suitable deep learning model, such as convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN) combined with long short-term memory network (LSTM) for sequential image analysis, or more advanced models such as U-Net, Mask R-CNN, etc. for pixel-level segmentation and object detection.

[0055] Model training: Divide the annotated dataset into training set, validation set, and test set. Use the training set to train the model, the validation set to adjust model parameters, and the test set to evaluate model performance. During the training process, optimize the loss function (such as cross-entropy loss, Dice loss, etc.) to minimize the prediction error.

[0056] 4. Defect recognition and coordinate recording

[0057] Real-time recognition: Deploy the trained model to the human-machine interaction panel 11 of the device or the connected computing unit. When the camera module captures a new fabric image, immediately analyze it through the model to quickly identify whether there are defects.

[0058] Coordinate recording: Once the model recognizes a defect, use the feature map or bounding box information output by the model to record the exact position coordinates of the defect in the original image. This step is usually directly obtained through the output of the model. For example, in an object detection task, the model will output the class probability, bounding box position, etc. of each defect.

[0059] 5. Post-processing and report generation

[0060] Decision-making judgment: According to the recognition result and the preset threshold, judge whether the fabric is qualified. Record the defect type, position, etc. information of the unqualified fabric.

[0061] Image and Coordinate Recording: Store the image containing defects and the corresponding defect coordinates to provide a basis for subsequent analysis, re-inspection, or quality traceability.

[0062] Report Generation: The human-machine interaction panel 11 automatically collates the detection results and generates a detailed detection report, including information such as pass / fail labels, defect images, and position coordinates, and can be printed immediately through the built-in label printer.

[0063] Through the structural and functional design of the above embodiments, the intelligent inspection equipment for cashmere fabrics of the present utility model realizes an automated and highly accurate detection process, significantly improves the detection efficiency and accuracy, reduces the reliance on manpower and the misdetection rate, and is an ideal solution for modern textile quality control.

[0064] The parts not detailed in the present utility model are prior arts, so the present utility model does not elaborate on them.

[0065] It can be understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more". That is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in other embodiments, the number of the element can be multiple. The term "a" cannot be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0066] Although terms such as the frame 1, the support frame 2, the lifting module 3, the horizontal module 4, the left camera module 5, the middle camera module 6, the right camera module 7, the inspection table 8, the input mechanism 9, the fixture 10, and the human-machine interaction panel 11 are used more in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. Using these terms is only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present utility model.

[0067] The present utility model is not limited to the above best embodiment. Anyone can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as there are technical solutions identical or similar to those of the present utility model, they all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
