Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying and correction, and particularly to a feeding correction device for a packaging machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In many automation fields, machine vision and image processing technology are used to detect and correct the position and posture of the to-be-packaged articles (such as products to be packaged), and by integrating these technologies, the image of the to-be-packaged articles is captured by a camera, and the position and posture information of the to-be-packaged articles is analyzed by using image processing algorithms. Once a deviation is found, a correction mechanism can be triggered to make an adjustment to ensure that the to-be-packaged articles can be accurately fed to the packaging position. However, the cost of high-end automation equipment and machine vision systems is usually high, which may be a considerable burden for small and medium-sized enterprises. These devices not only have high purchase costs, but also require continuous investment for subsequent maintenance and upgrading. High-end automation equipment and machine vision systems usually involve technologies from multiple fields, such as mechanics, electronics, computer science, and image processing, which require technicians to have high professional skills, increasing the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the system. Once a fault occurs, it may take a long time to diagnose and repair the machine.
