Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile testing technology, and in particular to a fabric pilling rating box. Background Technology
[0002] Pilling grading is a standard used to evaluate the degree of pilling in fabrics. Traditional pilling grading mainly relies on human senses, which is easily influenced by subjective factors of the testers, leading to inconsistent results. This manual method has low automation, a high error rate, and difficulty in improving efficiency. Therefore, automating pilling grading has become a critical technical issue of great concern. There is an urgent need in this field for an instrument that can replace manual evaluation of fabric pilling levels for accurate and efficient pilling grading. Automatic assessment of fabric pilling grades based on image processing technology can overcome the aforementioned shortcomings.
[0003] Existing technologies have the following problems:
[0004] Extensive searches revealed that patent application number CN202221895314.9 discloses an intelligent pilling rating instrument. This patent can acquire images of fabric samples using an industrial camera and send the images to an analysis device. The analysis device then processes the images to obtain the number of pills and the area of pilling on the fabric sample. After precise calculation, the pilling grade of the fabric sample is determined. However, the above patent still has some problems in actual use. The most obvious problem is that it can only rate the pilling of one fabric at a time. The fabric pilling rating data is random and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the fabric pilling rating data. If the pilling rating is performed on multiple fabrics, it is necessary to pick up and put down the fabric back and forth, which affects the efficiency of the fabric pilling rating.
[0005] To address these shortcomings, we have proposed a fabric pilling rating box. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fabric pilling rating box to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fabric pilling rating box, comprising a base, a bracket fixed to one side surface of the base, a housing mounted on the bracket, an industrial camera mounted on the bottom surface of the housing, an analysis device mounted on one side surface of the bracket, a servo motor mounted inside the base, a rotating stage mounted at the output end of the servo motor, a shooting component placed on the rotating stage, and a feeding component arranged below the shooting component;
[0008] The shooting assembly includes an upper shooting platform, a lower shooting platform, fabric, a socket, a plug, a positioning rod pull block, a first spring, and a positioning hole. The bottom surface of the upper shooting platform has a socket, and the top surface of the lower shooting platform is fixed with a plug, which is inserted into the socket. One side surface of the plug has a positioning hole. A positioning rod is provided through the surface of the upper shooting platform, and a pull block is installed at one end of the positioning rod. A first spring is sleeved between the pull block and the upper shooting platform on the outside of the positioning rod. The other end of the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning hole. Fabric is provided between the upper and lower shooting platforms.
[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding groove, a feeding rod, a push block, a second spring, and a through hole. The feeding groove is opened on the base, and the surface of the rotating table is provided with a through hole. The feeding rod is installed through the through hole. One end of the feeding rod extends into the interior of the feeding groove and is fitted with a push block. The top surface of the push block and the inner top surface of the feeding groove are fitted with a second spring on the outside of the feeding rod. The other end of the feeding rod abuts against the shooting assembly.
[0010] Preferably, the industrial camera and servo motor are signal-connected to the analysis device.
[0011] Preferably, the shooting components are provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of shooting components are distributed in a circular array on the top surface of the rotating platform.
[0012] Preferably, the feeding trough is annular and communicates with a through groove on the surface of the base.
[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the feed rod is smaller than the diameter of the through hole.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, a rotating platform is set up with several shooting components. Each shooting component is pre-loaded with fabric. When the fabric on one shooting component is being graded for pilling, the other shooting components can pick up and put down the fabric. Therefore, the machine does not need to be stopped during the picking up and putting down of the fabric, which will not affect the efficiency of the pilling grade. Secondly, it can obtain pilling grade data of multiple fabrics at one time, ensuring the accuracy of the fabric pilling grade data and avoiding the randomness of the fabric pilling grade data. It is highly practical and worth promoting.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a feeding component, the pusher block is pushed upward. The upward movement of the pusher block compresses and deforms the second spring to store energy, and causes the feeding rod to move upward to lift the shooting component from the rotating table. This makes it easier for the staff to remove the shooting component from the rotating table, and the feeding is more convenient. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A fabric pilling rating box includes a base 1, a bracket 2 fixed to one side surface of the base 1, a housing 3 mounted on the bracket 2, an industrial camera 4 mounted on the bottom surface of the housing 3, an analysis device 5 mounted on one side surface of the bracket 2, a servo motor 6 mounted inside the base 1, a rotating stage 7 mounted on the output end of the servo motor 6, a shooting component 8 placed on the rotating stage 7, and a feeding component 9 disposed below the shooting component 8.
[0028] The shooting assembly 8 includes an upper shooting platform 81, a lower shooting platform 82, a fabric 83, an insertion hole 84, an insertion block 85, a positioning rod 86, a pull block 87, a first spring 88, and a positioning hole 89. The bottom surface of the upper shooting platform 81 has an insertion hole 84. The top surface of the lower shooting platform 82 is fixedly connected to the insertion block 85, and the insertion block 85 is inserted into the insertion hole 84. One side surface of the insertion block 85 has a positioning hole 89. The surface of the upper shooting platform 81 is provided with a positioning rod 86, and one end of the positioning rod 86 is equipped with a pull block 87. The pull block 87 and the upper shooting platform 81 are fitted with a first spring 88 on the outside of the positioning rod 86. The other end of the positioning rod 86 is inserted into the positioning hole 89. The fabric 83 is provided between the upper shooting platform 81 and the lower shooting platform 82.
[0029] In this embodiment: the feeding assembly 9 includes a feeding groove 91, a feeding rod 92, a push block 93, a second spring 94 and a through hole 95. The feeding groove 91 is opened on the base 1. The surface of the rotating table 7 is provided with a through hole 95, and the feeding rod 92 is installed through the through hole 95. One end of the feeding rod 92 extends into the interior of the feeding groove 91 and is fitted with a push block 93. The top surface of the push block 93 and the inner top surface of the feeding groove 91 are fitted with a second spring 94 on the outside of the feeding rod 92. The other end of the feeding rod 92 abuts against the shooting assembly 8.
[0030] Specifically, in use, a rotating stage 7 is set up, on which several imaging components 8 are installed. Each imaging component 8 is pre-loaded with fabric 83. One imaging component 8 rotates to a position directly below the industrial camera 4 and stops. The industrial camera 4 transmits the captured image to the analysis device 5. The analysis device 5 uses specific recognition software to process the image, obtaining the number of pills and the pilling area of the fabric 83 sample. Then, through precise calculation, the pilling grade of the fabric 83 is determined. The industrial camera 4 can grade the pilling of the fabric 83 on one imaging component 8, while the others can be graded separately. The camera assembly 8 can pick up and put down the fabric 83 without stopping the machine during the process, which will not affect the pilling rating efficiency of the fabric 83. Secondly, it can obtain the pilling rating data of multiple fabrics 83 at one time, ensuring the accuracy of the pilling rating data of the fabric 83 and avoiding the randomness of the pilling rating data of the fabric 83. It is highly practical and worth promoting. The pusher block 93 moves upward, which compresses and deforms the second spring 94 to store energy and causes the feed rod 92 to move upward, lifting the camera assembly 8 from the rotating table 7. This makes it easier for the staff to remove the camera assembly 8 from the rotating table 7 and makes the feeding more convenient.
[0031] In this implementation scheme: the industrial camera 4 and the servo motor 6 are connected to the analysis device 5 via signal connection.
[0032] Specifically, the industrial camera 4 transmits the captured image to the analysis device 5, and the analysis device 5 further processes the image using specific recognition software installed in the analysis device 5 to obtain the number of pills and the pilling area of the fabric sample 83, and then determines the pilling grade of the fabric 83 through precise calculation.
[0033] In this implementation scheme: multiple sets of shooting components 8 are provided, and multiple sets of shooting components 8 are distributed in a ring array on the top surface of the rotating platform 7.
[0034] Specifically, improve the efficiency of fabric pilling rating (83) and avoid data randomness.
[0035] In this embodiment: the feeding trough 91 is annular, and the feeding trough 91 is connected to the through groove 10 opened on the surface of the base 1.
[0036] Specifically, this allows the pusher block 93 inside the feed trough 91 to move upward through the through trough 10.
[0037] In this implementation scheme: the diameter of the feed rod 92 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 95.
[0038] Specifically, this allows the feed rod 92 to slide within the through hole 95.
[0039] Working principle: In use, a rotating stage 7 is set up, on which several imaging components 8 are set. Each imaging component 8 is pre-loaded with fabric 83. One imaging component 8 rotates to stop directly under the industrial camera 4. The industrial camera 4 transmits the captured image to the analysis device 5. Through specific recognition software installed in the analysis device 5, the image is further processed to obtain the number of pills and the pilling area of the fabric 83 sample. Then, through precise calculation, the pilling grade of the fabric 83 is determined. The industrial camera 4 can perform pilling rating on the fabric 83 on one imaging component 8, and the others can be rated by other imaging components. The camera assembly 8 can pick up and put down the fabric 83 without stopping the machine during the process, which will not affect the pilling rating efficiency of the fabric 83. Secondly, it can obtain the pilling rating data of multiple fabrics 83 at one time, ensuring the accuracy of the pilling rating data of the fabric 83 and avoiding the randomness of the pilling rating data of the fabric 83. It is highly practical and worth promoting. The pusher block 93 moves upward, which compresses and deforms the second spring 94 to store energy and causes the feed rod 92 to move upward, lifting the camera assembly 8 from the rotating table 7. This makes it easier for the staff to remove the camera assembly 8 from the rotating table 7 and makes the feeding more convenient.
[0040] It should be noted that the model specifications of the industrial camera 4, servo motor 6 and analysis device 5 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0041] The power supply and operating principles of the industrial camera 4, servo motor 6, and analysis device 5 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0042] It is worth noting that the industrial camera 4 disclosed in the above embodiments can be a camera based on a CCD or CMOS chip, and the servo motor 6 can be a high and low temperature servo motor from PARKER's NX series. This motor is based on a 10-pole rotor design and adopts an optimized and densely robust structure to ensure high-quality motion performance. The analysis device 5 can be a common computer as described in the manual, but different configurations can be selected according to actual needs. The operation of the industrial camera 4, servo motor 6, and analysis device 5 all adopt methods commonly used in the prior art.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
