Solution Overview

Problem

In automatic packaging of yarn spindles, efficient detection of each spindle is necessary to improve production efficiency, but current methods are inefficient and prone to mixing abnormal yarn spindles during packaging.

Innovation Solution

A control method and apparatus that detect the appearance feature of yarn spindles entering a detection area, and only detect the physical attribute feature of those spindles that do not meet preset requirements, thereby improving detection efficiency and preventing abnormal spindles from being packaged.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If physical attribute feature detection is performed on every yarn spindle, then detection accuracy is improved, but detection efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing physical attribute detection only on yarn spindles that fail the appearance inspection, rather than on all spindles. The detection system selectively activates based on the appearance check results, performing full detection only when necessary (when appearance defects are found), and skipping it for normal spindles, thus balancing accuracy and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Productivity

If detection processes are simplified, then detection efficiency is improved, but quality control deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection efficiencyVSAvoidquality control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the detection process into two distinct stages: appearance inspection (applied to all spindles) and physical attribute detection (applied only to spindles failing appearance inspection). This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive quality control through the first stage while improving overall efficiency by limiting the more time-consuming second stage to only necessary cases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If all yarn spindles are detected, then quality control is improved, but production efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality controlVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing appearance inspection on all yarn spindles before conducting physical attribute detection. This preliminary screening identifies which spindles require further inspection, allowing the system to maintain comprehensive quality control while avoiding unnecessary detection on spindles that already show appearance defects, thus preserving production efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a control method and apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: when determining that a yarn spindle transported on a transport channel enters a detection area, detecting the yarn spindle located in the detection area to obtain an appearance feature of the detected yarn spindle (S101); wherein the transport channel is a channel for transporting yarn spindles in an automatic packaging workshop; and the detection area is at least a partial area on the transport channel; when the appearance feature of the detected yarn spindle does not meet a first preset requirement, determining the yarn spindle with the appearance feature not meeting the first preset requirement as a target yarn spindle (S 102); and detecting a physical attribute feature of the target yarn spindle (S 103).
