Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorating machine technology, specifically a fully automatic visual 6-head decorating machine. Background Technology
[0002] Visual decorating machines utilize machine vision technology to acquire image information of the product to be decorated through devices such as cameras. This information is then analyzed and processed using computer vision algorithms to achieve automatic dotting and line drawing. The general workflow is as follows: the camera acquires an image of the product to be decorated; image processing algorithms (such as edge detection and feature extraction) identify the product's position and size; and then, a temperature control system, in conjunction with a food valve, injects the raw materials into the corresponding positions on the product to be decorated.
[0003] However, existing visual decorating machines have many shortcomings in practical applications. For example, manual operation can easily lead to inaccurate dotting positions, resulting in damage to workpieces, dotting needles, and products; most machines require tooling molds to fix the products, limiting the flexibility of product placement; and single-head working efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, the temperature control system of some machines lacks precision, affecting the stability of raw materials and thus adversely affecting the decorating quality, resulting in poor practicality.
