[0036] The image detection unit 3 further comprises a visual control host integrating a mainboard, touch, display, image collection, control and network, and the visual control host is small and convenient, can be connected through a remote cloud platform, and is convenient for remote maintenance and debugging.
[0037] The principle of image detection is as follows:
[0038] The camera module 34 takes a photo of the loop state of the warp knitting machine. When there is a broken yarn, there will be a vacancy in the image. By detecting the vacancy in the image, it can be determined whether there is a broken yarn. The images captured at the loop time of different cloth types are basically the same. The image presents a black and white stripe state, thereby avoiding the trouble of collecting a large amount of defect cloth data for cloth surface photography detection using neural network algorithm. No matter what cloth type is, the same algorithm can be used for processing. Since the collected image can basically be regarded as a black and white stripe, if a broken yarn appears, the original white stripe becomes a black stripe, thereby realizing the detection of broken yarns.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the output end of the first motor 21 is connected with a first lead screw, one end of the first lead screw away from the first motor 21 is rotationally connected with the support frame 12, and the first lead screw penetrates the center of the first motor 21.

[0041] The use process of the background plate 24 is as follows:
[0042] When the first motor 21 is started, the first motor 21 drives the driving wheel 23 to rotate. In the meshing state, the driving wheel 23 drives the driven wheel 22 to rotate, and the driven wheel 22 can drive the background plate 24 to realize the inclination of the angle. At this time, the background plate 24 can be adapted to the loop, and is suitable for loops with different angles.
[0043] Since the image state in image detection presents a black and white stripe state, the background plate can be set to compare the stripe features. By comparing the black and white stripes on the main image with the background plate stripes, the frequency, direction, intensity and other characteristics of the stripes can be understood, the broken yarn condition can be correctly judged, the misjudgment condition can be avoided, and the number of shutdowns can be reduced.
