[0045] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: the small-pitch parallel yarn online detection station simultaneously detects multiple equal-pitch yarns located at the upper station of the steel structure platform. At this time, the equal-pitch yarns pass through the overall frame. At this time, the light source component illuminates the equal-pitch yarns, the background plate eliminates the influence of the environmental scene on the yarn imaging, the camera component continuously captures images of the yarns, and transmits the yarn images to the industrial control computer in the integrated cabinet of the electrical control unit through the data transmission line for processing. Then, the processing results are transmitted to the display screen component through the data transmission line.
[0046] The large-pitch yarn online inspection station uses a PLC-controlled inspection component in an integrated electrical control cabinet to inspect the yarn on a single-axis slide rail according to the pitch corresponding to the large-pitch yarn. During inspection, the inspection component 24 moves along the single-axis slide rail. During this movement, the inspection camera group and inspection light source group mounted on the inspection component 24 work together to capture images of the inspected yarn.
