Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of textile thread knot detection devices, specifically a photoelectric sensing detection device for detecting textile thread knots. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two methods for detecting knots in textile threads in the industry. One is a tension monitoring system, which indirectly judges and prompts operators to handle the knots based on the value of the monitored peak. The disadvantages are high error rate and high labor cost. The other is to use a reflective photoelectric sensor to detect knots in textile threads. The disadvantages are low detection sensitivity, low reliability, and serious false alarms and missed alarms. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a photoelectric sensing detection device for detecting knots in textile threads to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A photoelectric sensing detection device for detecting knots in textile threads includes a base with support feet connected to both sides of the bottom. A support plate is connected to one side of the top of the base, and a control box is connected to the front end of the support plate. A display screen is embedded in the front face of the control box. A switch is installed on the right side wall of the base. A photoelectric sensor is embedded in the middle of the top of the base. A data processor is installed inside the control box, and a control board is located to the right of the data processor. An LED light is located below the control board, and a transmitter is located below the LED light. A light guide column is located directly below the transmitter. A receiver is fitted on the top of the base outside the photoelectric sensor. An interface is located on the left side wall of the control box.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the interface is an RJ25 universal interface.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of supporting feet is set to four, and the four supporting feet are arranged in pairs facing each other about the bottom of the base.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A photoelectric sensing detection device for detecting knots in textile threads includes a base 1, with support feet 2 connected to both sides of the bottom of the base 1, a support plate 3 connected to one side of the top of the base 1, a control box 4 connected to the front end of the support plate 3, a display screen 5 embedded in the front end of the control box 4, a switch 6 installed on the right side wall of the base 1, a photoelectric sensor 7 embedded in the middle of the top of the base 1, a data processor 8 inside the control box 4, a control board 9 to the right of the data processor 8, an LED light 10 below the control board 9, a transmitter 11 below the LED light 10, a light guide column 12 directly below the transmitter 11, a receiver 14 sleeved on the top of the base 1 and outside the photoelectric sensor 7, and an interface 13 on the left side wall of the control box 4.
[0023] Interface 13 is a general-purpose RJ25 interface.
[0024] The number of support feet 2 is set to four, and the four support feet 2 are arranged in pairs facing each other about the bottom of the base 1.
[0025] The light guide post 12 is located directly above the photoelectric sensor 7.
[0026] The centers of the LED light 10, the emitter 11, and the light guide column 12 are on the same vertical line.
[0027] The data processor 8 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor 7, and the data processor 8, LED light 10, transmitter 11, receiver 14 and control board 9 are all electrically connected.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the textile thread is working normally, the diameter of the textile thread is within the normal range. The light from the LED lamp 10 is reflected from the emitter 11 through the light guide post 12 to the receiver 14. The photoelectric sensor 7 can receive the light source signal, and the working current is within the normal range. When the textile thread is knotted, the diameter of the textile thread exceeds the normal range. The light from the LED lamp 10 cannot be reflected from the emitter 11 through the light guide post 12 to the receiver 14. The photoelectric sensor 7 cannot receive the light source signal, and the working current is lower than the normal range.
[0029] This invention features a specially designed optical transmission line, using LEDs as the light source and a specific path from the transmitter to the receiver. Light transmission is achieved through multiple reflections. When the yarn is knotted, its diameter changes, altering the light reflection path and affecting sensor detection. A programmable module circuit interface is provided, utilizing a universal RJ25 interface. Customers can customize the programming according to the yarn diameter and specific requirements, making the system highly versatile and easy to market. Based on photoelectric sensing technology and a specific optical line design, it achieves automated detection with high sensitivity and reliability at a low cost. The entire system can be customized, enabling rapid market penetration. Content not described in detail herein is prior art known to those skilled in the art.
