In some embodiments, the processor may determine the mixing parameters in a variety of ways. For example, the mixing parameters may be empirically determined based on the kinds, mass ratios, etc. of the raw plastic and the processing agent.

In some embodiments, the mixing parameters may be determined based on at least one of the feed plastics to processing agent addition ratio, the monomer volume ratio, and the monomer mass ratio.

The addition ratio of the raw material plastic to the processing agent refers to the total mass ratio of the raw material plastic and the processing agent when the raw material plastic and the processing agent are mixed.

In some embodiments, the preset adjustment method may include: in the same batch, if the dispersion degree of the quality characteristic uniformity of the modified plastic particles produced in the previous production period is lower than the dispersion degree threshold value, the processor can increase the mixing duration, and the increase value of the mixing duration is positively related to the difference value between the dispersion degree threshold value and the dispersion degree of the quality characteristic uniformity. Wherein the degree of dispersion of the uniformity of the quality feature can be determined by calculating the variance of uniformity of the quality feature for a plurality of previous production cycles. For example, the smaller the variance of the quality feature uniformity across multiple production cycles, the smaller the degree of dispersion of the quality feature uniformity. The quality feature uniformity threshold and the dispersion threshold may be default values, empirical values, preset values in advance, or any combination thereof, and may be determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, since the raw material plastic and the processing agent generally have different monomer volumes and densities, the mixing parameters are determined by taking into consideration the addition ratio of the raw material plastic and the processing agent, the monomer volume ratio and the monomer mass ratio, and simultaneously, the quality characteristic uniformity of the modified plastic particles produced in the previous production cycles of the same batch is adjusted in real time to the mixing parameters of the subsequent production cycles, so that the quality of the produced modified plastic particles can be effectively improved.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the quality and smoothness of the modified plastic particles may affect the probability of the modified plastic particles being transformed in its posture after being vibrated (e.g., the original bottom surface of the modified plastic particles becomes a side or top surface after being vibrated). The smaller the smoothness of the modified plastic particles, i.e., the greater the roughness, the less likely the modified plastic particles are to change the posture, and thus a larger vibration amplitude and a longer vibration duration are required to increase the probability of changing the modified plastic particles, while increasing the preset number of acquisitions in order to eliminate the measurement error due to the fact that the posture of the modified plastic particles is not changed during the vibration.

In some embodiments, the detection stage may vibrate in a variety of ways. For example, the inspection station may vibrate by way of automatic vibration.

For more on the determination of the appearance characteristics of the presently sampled modified plastic particles based on the appearance characteristic determination model, see fig. 4 and its related description.

The degree of dispersion of the appearance characteristics refers to parameter information related to the degree of uniformity of the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles. Wherein the degree of dispersion of the appearance characteristics can be represented by a real number ranging from 0 to 1, and the smaller the numerical value, the more uniform the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the degree of dispersion of the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may determine the degree of dispersion of the appearance features of the modified plastic particles by calculating the variance of the plurality of appearance features obtained from the plurality of samplings. The smaller the variance of the appearance features obtained by the multiple sampling, the smaller the degree of dispersion of the appearance features of the modified plastic particles.

Appearance quality characteristics refer to parameter information for totally reflecting appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles. In some embodiments, the appearance quality features may include at least one of appearance average features, appearance feature uniformity.

The appearance average characteristic means an average value of appearance characteristics of a plurality of modified plastic particles.

For example, the processor may average the appearance characteristics of the plurality of modified plastic particles obtained by the plurality of samplings to obtain an appearance average characteristic of the modified plastic particles.

Appearance characteristic uniformity refers to the degree of uniformity of appearance characteristics of the plurality of modified plastic particles. Wherein the uniformity of the appearance characteristic can be represented by a real number ranging from 0 to 1, and the larger the numerical value is, the higher the uniformity degree of the appearance characteristic representing the plurality of modified plastic particles is.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the appearance feature uniformity in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may calculate the variance of the appearance characteristics of the plurality of modified plastic particles obtained by sampling a plurality of times, and then calculate the reciprocal of the variance to obtain the uniformity of the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles.

Step 320, determining the qualification of the modified plastic particles based at least on the appearance quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles.

The qualification degree of the modified plastic particles refers to the degree to which the produced modified plastic particles meet the production requirements.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the eligibility of the modified plastic particles in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may calculate a vector distance between the appearance average feature and the preset appearance feature of the modified plastic particles, the smaller the distance, the greater the eligibility of the modified plastic particles. Wherein, the preset appearance characteristic can be set in advance based on the production requirement of the modified plastic particles. Vector distances may include, but are not limited to, cosine distances, euclidean distances, mahalanobis distances, and the like. For another example, the greater the uniformity of the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles, the greater the pass of the modified plastic particles. For more on the preset appearance features, see fig. 5 and its associated description.

In some embodiments of the specification, the modified plastic particles produced in each production period are randomly sampled and detected by the cooperative detection device to detect the dispersion degree of the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles, so that the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles is determined, the quality of the produced modified plastic particles can be monitored at any time, and the processing parameters of the subsequent production periods can be appropriately adjusted based on the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles obtained in the production period, so that the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles in the whole production batch is improved.

In some embodiments, the eligibility of the modified plastic particles is also related to the mass average characteristics and the mass characteristic uniformity.

The mass average characteristic refers to an average of mass characteristics of a plurality of modified plastic particles. For more on the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles, see the relevant description below.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the quality average feature in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may average the mass characteristics of the plurality of modified plastic particles obtained from multiple samplings to obtain a mass average characteristic of the modified plastic particles.

Quality characteristic uniformity refers to the degree of uniformity of quality characteristics of a plurality of modified plastic particles. Wherein the uniformity of the quality features can be represented by real numbers ranging from 0 to 1, and the larger the numerical value is, the higher the uniformity degree of the quality features representing the plurality of modified plastic particles is.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the quality feature uniformity in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may calculate the variance of the quality characteristics of the plurality of modified plastic particles obtained by the plurality of samplings, and then calculate the reciprocal of the variance to obtain the uniformity of the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles.

In some embodiments, the greater the uniformity of the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles, the greater the eligibility of the modified plastic particles. The smaller the vector distance between the mass average characteristic and the preset mass characteristic of the modified plastic particles, the higher the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles. Wherein, the preset quality characteristics can be set in advance based on the production requirements of the modified plastic particles. As for the manner of determining the vector distance between the quality average feature and the preset quality feature, reference may be made to the manner of determining the vector distance between the appearance average feature and the preset appearance feature described above.

The mass characteristics of the modified plastic particles refer to characteristics related to the weight of the modified plastic particles. For example, the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles may include, but are not limited to, total amount and weight of the modified plastic particles, and the like.

In some embodiments, the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles may be represented in vector form. For example, the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles may be expressed as (c, d). Wherein c represents the total number of modified plastic particles sampled at this time; d represents the total weight of the modified plastic particles sampled at this time.

The degree of dispersion of the quality features refers to parameter information related to the degree of uniformity of the quality features of the modified plastic particles. Wherein the dispersion degree of the quality features can be represented by real numbers between 0 and 1, and the smaller the numerical value is, the more uniform the quality features of the modified plastic particles are represented.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the degree of dispersion of the quality features of the modified plastic particles in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may determine the degree of dispersion of the quality features of the modified plastic particles by calculating the variance of the plurality of quality features obtained from the plurality of samplings. The smaller the variance of the plurality of quality features obtained by the multiple sampling, the smaller the degree of dispersion of the quality features of the modified plastic particles.

In some embodiments, in the quality uniformity detection, each of the at least one sampling includes: the cooperative detection device is controlled to randomly grasp a plurality of modified plastic particles from the material receiving barrel through a mechanical arm, the modified plastic particles are placed on a detection table, and the total weight of the grasped modified plastic particles is measured through a pressure sensor arranged at the bottom of the detection table; controlling the detection table to vibrate based on preset vibration parameters, so that modified plastic particles are dispersed in the detection table; photographing the detection table through a vision device to obtain image data containing modified plastic particles; determining the total number of the modified plastic particles sampled at the time based on the image data; the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles sampled this time are determined based on the total weight and the total amount of the modified plastic particles. For more on random grabbing, preset vibration parameters, image data see the relevant description above.

A pressure sensor refers to a device for measuring the amount of pressure applied. For example, the pressure sensor may include, but is not limited to, a capacitive pressure sensor, a piezoelectric pressure sensor, a piezoresistive pressure sensor, and the like.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the total weight of the modified plastic particles currently being grasped in a variety of ways. For example, the processor may take the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor on the detection table as the total weight of the modified plastic particles that are grabbed this time.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the total number of modified plastic particles that are sampled this time in a number of ways. For example, the processor may process the image data through a quantity determination model to determine the total quantity of modified plastic particles that are sampled this time. Wherein the quantity determination model may include one of a neural network model, a convolutional neural network model, or the like, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles that are sampled this time in a number of ways. For example, the processor may input the total number and the total weight of the modified plastic particles sampled at this time into the embedded layer to process, thereby obtaining the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles sampled at this time.

In some embodiments of the specification, the quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles are determined by random sampling through the cooperative detection device, the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles in the production period is determined based on multiple sampling, and the limitation that the qualification degree of the modified plastic particles is determined only by means of the appearance quality characteristics of the modified plastic particles is avoided, so that the qualification degree of the finally determined modified plastic is more accurate, and a basis is provided for subsequent adjustment of processing parameters of other production periods of the same batch.

It should be noted that the above description of the flow 200 and the flow 300 is for illustration and description only, and is not intended to limit the scope of applicability of the present description.

However, such modifications and variations are still within the scope of the present description.

FIG. 4 is an exemplary schematic diagram of an appearance feature determination model shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present description.

In some embodiments, the processor may process the image data 410 through the appearance feature determination model 420 to determine the appearance features 450 of the modified plastic particles.

The appearance characteristic determining model 420 may be a machine learning model for determining appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles. For example, the appearance feature determination model may include one of a Neural Network (NN) model, a convolutional Neural network (Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN) model, or the like, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the input of the appearance feature determination model 420 may include image data 410; the output may include an appearance feature 450 of the modified plastic particles. For more on the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles, the image data can be seen in fig. 3 and the related description.

In some embodiments, the input to the appearance feature identification layer 422 may also include a preset degree of openness 460, a preset extrusion speed 470, and a preset cutting speed 480.

The preset opening and closing degree refers to the opening and closing degree of a discharging hole of the processing bin.

The preset extrusion speed refers to the speed at which the modified plastic strip is extruded from the discharge aperture by the extrusion device. For example, the preset extrusion speed may be v _a Cm per second.

The preset cutting speed refers to the cutting speed of the modified plastic strip by the cutting device. For example, the preset cutting speed may be v _b Revolutions per minute.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed, and the preset cutting speed in a variety of ways. For example, the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed and the preset cutting speed may be default values, empirical values, preset values in advance, etc. or any combination thereof, and may be determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the processor may further determine the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed, and the preset cutting speed based on the composition distribution of the raw plastic, the composition distribution of the processing agent, the heating and pressurizing parameters, the cooling parameters, and the morphological requirements of the modified plastic particles corresponding to the current production lot. For more details on determining the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed and the preset cutting speed, see fig. 5 and the description thereof.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, if only image data is used as the input of the appearance feature determining model, no image data obtained by shooting at a single angle or at a plurality of angles may not ensure that appearance features such as volumes, shapes, etc. can be accurately identified by the appearance feature determining model. The shape of the modified plastic particles can be determined macroscopically to a certain extent by the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed and the preset cutting speed. Therefore, the accuracy of the finally obtained appearance characteristics can be improved by taking the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed and the preset cutting speed as the input of the appearance characteristic determining model.

And when the loss function meets a first preset condition, model training is completed, and a trained object detection layer and appearance characteristic recognition layer are obtained. The first preset condition may be that the loss function converges, the number of iterations reaches a threshold value, and the like.

In some embodiments, the sample may further include a sample opening and closing degree, a sample extrusion speed, and a sample cutting speed played in the production of the sample modified plastic particles.

It can be seen in some embodiments of the present description that numerous features may reflect to some extent the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles. However, many times some of the features do not have effective values that can be used, and many times the available feature values are insufficient to determine the appearance of the modified plastic particles alone or by simple rules. Therefore, the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles can be determined based on a large number of wide characteristics by using the appearance characteristic determining model, and the limitation of determining the appearance characteristics of the modified plastic particles based on the rule in the prior art is broken. Rule-based approaches are limited by their complexity, can only be based on fewer features, and are limited by artificially defined rules. The prediction is performed based on the machine learning technology, so that the appearance characteristics of the determined modified plastic particles can be higher in accuracy based on more and richer characteristics, and meanwhile, the determination efficiency is improved.

For another example, the processor may determine the predetermined appearance characteristics based on a predetermined data look-up table by modifying the production requirements of the plastic particles. Wherein, the preset data comparison table records preset appearance characteristics corresponding to different production requirements of different modified plastic particles. The preset data comparison table can be preset based on priori knowledge or historical data.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed, and the preset cutting speed by a variety of methods. For example, the processor may construct a second target vector based on the composition distribution of the raw plastic, the composition distribution of the processing agent, the warming-pressurizing parameters, the cooling parameters, and the morphological requirements of the modified plastic particles corresponding to the current production lot; determining, by the second vector database, a second association vector based on the second target vector; and determining the reference preset opening and closing degree, the reference preset extrusion speed and the reference preset cutting speed corresponding to the second association vector as the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed and the preset cutting speed corresponding to the second target vector.

The third preset condition may be set according to circumstances. For example, the third preset condition may be that the vector distance is minimum or that the vector distance is less than a distance threshold, or the like. Vector distances may include, but are not limited to, cosine distances, mahalanobis distances, euclidean distances, and the like.

In some embodiments, the processor may determine the preset opening and closing degree, the preset extrusion speed, and the preset cutting speed through a parameter determination model.
