In general, drug, healthy food or to the more demanding article of sealing characteristics can use this sealing means, this The type for disclosing the article being not limited in container, is also not limited to the various configurations of container, as long as with high frequency into The thermosealed technology of row, all in the range of this announcement is intended to protection.
Referring to Fig. 2, its display heats seal the system 20 of defect, this system according to a kind of detection of this announcement embodiment 20 are set on the heat seal production line of container 11.As shown in Fig. 2, there is a conveyer belt 21, if being used to convey on production line Dry container 11, these containers 11 have been equipped with metallic film 13 and lid 14 shown in FIG. 1, it is, metallic film 13 covers It covers in the port of container 11 12, container 11 and after screwing on lid 14, these containers 11 are placed on conveyer belt 21, and along figure Arrow direction shown in 2 is transported.
System 20 further includes a high frequency generator 22, an infrared pick-up device 23, a processing unit 24, an output device (such as a display 25) and removal device 26.Firstly, container 11, by high frequency generator 22, high frequency generator 22 is right Container 11 applies high frequency, specifically, the metal foil covered on the port 12 of the corresponding each container 11 of high frequency generator 22 The position of film 13 applies high frequency.The high frequency of application to generate eddy current on metallic film 13, heat and release infrared ray Radiation.
After container 11 is applied high frequency soon, container 11 enters the visual field (the field of of infrared pick-up device 23 View), the infrared pick-up device 23 above container 11 senses the infrared radiation that container 11 is released, and it is each to generate container 11 Partial temperature data.The configuration of infrared pick-up device 23 is it is found that the temperature data master that infrared pick-up device 23 obtains from Fig. 2 If being contributed by the entire plane of metallic film 13.
Processing unit 24 and infrared pick-up device 23 couple, and the temperature data that infrared pick-up device 23 generates is sent to place Manage device 24.The temperature data can be converted into image data by processing unit 24, and carry out image procossing, place to the image data Image after reason can be displayed on display 25.Processing unit 24 can also be heated seal according to the image of acquirement to determine whether existing Defect, such as metallic film 13 does not paste and the cut that occurs, the result of detection also can be displayed on display 25.
When detection is there are when heat seal defect, processing unit 24 can issue alarm signal, and the output device is notified to send out It warns out, such as shows warning message etc. on sending caution sound, display 25, processing unit 24 also can control shifting coupled with it Except device 26, there will be the container 11 of heat seal defect to remove from conveyer belt 21.For example, it is moveable with one to remove device 26 Arm can be controlled by processing unit 24, and when the arm stretches out, which touches container 11, so that container 11 is pushed away into conveyer belt 21, Fall to a poor sealing collecting region.
Referring to Fig. 3, the method that its display heats seal defect according to a kind of detection of this announcement embodiment.In processing unit In the 24 heat seal detections carried out, this announcement improves existing detection mode, and accuracy in detection can be promoted by proposing one kind Heat seal defect inspection method.Fig. 2 please be cooperate refering to Fig. 3, the method for the detection heat seal defect of this announcement includes the following steps.
Step S31: the position of the metallic film 13 covered on the port 12 of the corresponding container 11 applies high frequency.Herein In step, high frequency generator 22 generates high frequency, and is applied on container 11, the high frequency of generation be focus on container 11 it The metallic film 13 covered on port 12, thus 13 heat of metallic film and release infrared radiation.
Step S32: infrared radiation is sensed above the container 11 using an infrared pick-up device 23, to generate the container The temperature data of 11 each sections.In this step, container 11 is moved to by conveyer belt 21 from the position of high frequency generator 22 The lower section of infrared pick-up device 23, into the visual field of infrared pick-up device 23, infrared pick-up device 23 senses container 11 at this time The infrared radiation of releasing, and the temperature data of 11 each section of container is generated, since metallic film 13 is a heat source, this temperature number According to mainly being contributed by metallic film 13, and because sensing angle configuration, infrared pick-up device 23 can sense metallic film The temperature of 13 entire planes.
Step S33: the temperature data of the container each section is converted into an image of the container.Processing unit 24 receives red The temperature data that outside line image pick-up device 23 generates, and the temperature data is converted into image, it in the process, can also be to the temperature Data are filtered, and obtained image further progress image procossing to optimize the image, or can also be simplified the image, be made It obtains processing speed to accelerate, on subsequent defective detects, can achieve the effect that detect immediately.
Step S34: positioning the image of the container, to define an area-of-interest (region of interest,ROI).In general, the region major part situation for heat seal defect occur is fixed, using this characteristic, It is being detected using image, these regions can be oriented, only seeing the Temperature Distribution in these regions, that is, can reach accurately Detection, can also effectively shorten defects detection the time it takes in this way.In terms of accuracy, these regions are only detected, can also be kept away The regional effect of defect can not be occurred by other by exempting from temperature data, and reduce accuracy.For example, the port 12 of container 11 Place Chang Yin is not sealed and heat seal defect occurs, at this moment can detecte the region around port 12.
Step S35: the temperature not in a qualified temperature range, the shared company in the area-of-interest of the image are calculated Continuous area.In general, if sealing really, uniform state can be presented in the Temperature Distribution of metallic film 13, if sealing it is uncertain and There is cut, because of the situation that dissipation of heat, temperature can decreased significantly at cut, and makes the Temperature Distribution of metallic film 13 It is unequal.If without heat dissipation, the temperature of 13 each section of metallic film substantially can position in a temperature range, that is, qualified temperature Spend range.If there is cut, hot flowing, so that some the local temperature of metallic film 13 are lower, and small part range temperature liter It is high.In this step, it is analyzed, is calculated not in qualified temperature range by the area-of-interest of the image to the container 11 Temperature shared by continuous area, can judge to whether there is seal defect.For example, conjunction is caught by test several times Lattice temperature range is, for example, 33 to 40 DEG C, and continuous surface shared by 33 DEG C or less and 40 DEG C or more of temperature at this moment can be calculated Product.In another embodiment, its continuous area can also be calculated for each temperature range, after rejecting possible noise, then will Effectively continuous area aggregation.For example, the case where being directed to low temperature, 33 DEG C to 32 DEG C calculate its continuous area, 32 DEG C to 31 DEG C meters Calculate its continuous area, and so on to a certain setting low-temperature values;The case where for high temperature, 40 DEG C to 41 DEG C calculate its continuous surface Product, 32 DEG C to 31 DEG C calculate its continuous area, and so on to a certain setting high temperature values.Low temperature condition can also be done with single needle Defect dipoles, single needle does a defect dipoles to high-temperature condition, or high temperature is added with the continuous area of low temperature condition, Make defect dipoles together.
Step S36: judge whether the continuous area is greater than an area threshold.In this step, one can be obtained by test Area threshold, judgement benchmark whether as heat seal defect.When the continuous area that step S35 is obtained is greater than the area threshold When, judge there is heat seal defect;And when the continuous area that step S35 is obtained is less than or equal to the area threshold, judgement There is no heat seal defects out.
Step S37: indicating a seal defect, to respond the case where continuous area is greater than the area threshold.Work as step S36 judges there are when seal defect, the exportable indication signal of processing unit 25 to output device.Output device can be display Device 25 can show the message for seal defect occur on the screen.Output device also can be a loudspeaker, there are seal defects When, capable of emitting caution sound.Processing unit 25 also can control output device (such as removing device 26), lack it by there is sealing Sunken container 11 is removed from conveyer belt 21.
Referring to Fig. 4, method of its display according to another detection heat seal defect of this announcement embodiment.Fig. 4 is shown Detection heat seal defect method in, step S41 to step S45 is same or like to step S35 with the step S31 in Fig. 3, It specifically can refer to the related description of above-mentioned steps S31 to step S35.
Step S46: the standard deviation and the standard deviation of the area-of-interest or the area-of-interest for calculating the continuous area are gone Except a difference of the standard deviation in the region after the continuous area.In this step, the continuous area and the region of interest can be calculated The difference of both standard deviations of color range in domain can also calculate the continuous area and after the area-of-interest removes the continuous area Both standard deviations of color range in region difference.
Step S47: according to the size of the difference, judge whether to indicate the seal defect.In this step, it can be determined that should Whether difference is greater than a threshold value, if so, there are seal defects for judgement.The difference of the two standard deviation is bigger, indicates two blocks Temperature difference is larger, and expression is implicitly present in seal defect;The difference of the two standard deviation is smaller, indicate two blocks temperature difference compared with It is small, indicate that seal defect may be not present.
In embodiment shown in Fig. 4, using in the calculation of standard deviation, the benchmark compared is the standard deviation of continuous area With the standard deviation of area-of-interest (or the area-of-interest remove the region after the continuous area standard deviation), due to its with from The image of body compares, and makees to sentence compared to using a fixed threshold value (area threshold in embodiment as shown in Figure 3) Disconnected, the image change of itself is contemplated in this mode, and accuracy is obviously promoted.
The embodiment of above-mentioned Fig. 3 and the embodiment of Fig. 4 can be individually performed to determine whether there are seal defects.In another In embodiment, first the continuous area can also be compared with an area threshold, reject the lesser region of continuous area, and it is laggard Row standard deviation compares, in this way and feasible.
In the method for the detection heat seal defect of this announcement, defects detection is carried out for area-of-interest, and judge not The continuous area shared by the temperature in qualified temperature range whether be greater than the standard deviation of area threshold and/or the continuous area with The standard deviation of the area-of-interest or the area-of-interest remove the size of the difference of the standard deviation in the region after the continuous area, To judge whether there is seal defect.Since the Temperature Distribution of seal defect is tracked in this announcement using continuous area, to this The analysis of the temperature data of container is more accurate, can be close to the form of expression of seal defect, therefore compared to existing sealing Defects detection mode can be derived that and more accurately detect as a result, will not therefore reduce detection speed simultaneously.
As what is illustrated, Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B show the image there is no seal defect, and Fig. 6 A to Fig. 6 C display exists The image of seal defect.The sealing of the image middle port 12 of Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B is all deposited in Fig. 6 A to Fig. 6 C really without cut In apparent cut, that is, it is classified as seal defect.
The step of temperature data is converted into image (i.e. above-mentioned steps S33 and S43) may include following steps: by the temperature Temperature is higher than the data of one first temperature in data, is indicated with one first pixel value;By temperature in the temperature data lower than one the The data of two temperature are indicated with one second pixel value;And by temperature in the temperature data between first temperature and this second Data between temperature are indicated with different pixel value.That is, the temperature data that can be obtained to infrared pick-up device 23 It is filtered.The image can be realized as such as RGB color rank or use grayscale.For example with RGB color rank, temperature in the temperature data Data point higher than 45 DEG C can indicate that temperature is lower than the data point of 30 DEG C of degree in the temperature data with deep red, can be with black table Show, temperature is then indicated with different rgb pixel values between 30 DEG C to 45 DEG C of data point.Carry out temperature data filtering benefit be The temperature in this temperature range may all not be judged as defect, and defect is indicated with identical pixel value, can more be highlighted The form of defect, while image is also simplified, simplify subsequent image analysis.
Referring to Fig. 7, being labeled with area-of-interest in its image of display according to a container of this announcement embodiment Schematic diagram.It is assumed that the port 12 of container 11 is circle, lid 14 is also round situation, and the region around port 12 can be made For area-of-interest, therefore the step of defining the area-of-interest (i.e. above-mentioned steps S34 and S44) may include following steps: A central point O is defined in the image of the container 11;It is radius by the center of circle, one first radius value R1 of central point O, defines One first is round;Using central point O as the center of circle, one second radius value R2 is radius, defines one second center of circle;And by this The one round region between second circle, is defined as the area-of-interest, such as the hatched example areas in Fig. 6.Due to port 12 Around be usually region that seal defect occurs, therefore can be detected using the region as area-of-interest, wherein the first half Diameter R1 can be defined by the internal diameter of the port 12 of container 11, and the second radius R2 can be defined by the outer diameter of lid 14, with common Image algorithm can find out the center of circle, the area-of-interest can be defined whereby.
The step of calculating the continuous area (i.e. above-mentioned steps S35 and S45) may include following steps: calculate not in the qualification One first temperature range in temperature range, the first shared continuous area in the area-of-interest of the image;Calculating does not exist A second temperature section in the qualification temperature range, the second shared continuous area in the area-of-interest of the image;With And using the sum of the first continuous area and the second continuous area as the continuous area.That is, as exemplified above, if closing Lattice temperature range is 33 to 40 DEG C, and 33 DEG C to 32 DEG C can be used as the first temperature range, and 32 DEG C to 31 DEG C can be used as second temperature area Between, their continuous area is added as the continuous area in step S35 and S45.In another embodiment, can also singly it judge Whether the continuous area of a certain temperature range is greater than area threshold, to determine whether there are seal defects.
The step of calculating the continuous area (i.e. above-mentioned steps S35 and S45) may include following steps: will not be in the qualification temperature Temperature in degree range is divided into several temperature ranges;It is shared in the area-of-interest of the image to calculate each temperature range Continuous area;Judge whether continuous area shared by each temperature range is greater than a threshold value;Continuous area is removed less than the threshold The corresponding temperature range of value;And be greater than the temperature range of the threshold value for continuous area, to the continuous area shared by it into Row aggregation.It,, can be with when may be noise when the corresponding continuous area of a certain temperature range is too small that is, as exemplified above It is rejected.It is equally possible that single judge that certain temperature ranges reject the continuous area being added after noise, judge whether it is big In area threshold, to judge with the presence or absence of seal defect.
Referring to Fig. 8, it is interested to be labeled with another in its image of display according to a container of this announcement embodiment The schematic diagram in region.During sealing, metallic film 13 may be put back with sheathing paper 15, and lead to different temperature point Cloth, that is to say, that when metallic film 13 is placed in 15 top of sheathing paper, metallic film 13 generates temperature because not heat-insulated Higher heat, this announcement can also detect this situation.
Firstly, during defining area-of-interest, the circle that port 12 can be formed as area-of-interest, It may include following steps: defining a central point O in the image of the container 11;And make a reservation for by the center of circle, one of central point O Radius value R1 is radius, defines a circle.Here, predetermined radii R1 can be defined by the internal diameter of port 12.
In this instance, seal defect context of detection may include following steps: calculate temperature corresponding to pixel in the circle One mean temperature of degree evidence;Judge whether the mean temperature is greater than a threshold value;And indicate a seal defect, it is somebody's turn to do with responding Mean temperature is greater than the case where threshold value.In this kind of detections, mean temperature can be used and calculated, this calculating It can be reached by the way that the corresponding temperature of whole pixels in this area-of-interest to be averaged, can also be gone out from the angle of the gross area Send calculating.Certainly, the temperature range mentioned above for not in qualified temperature range also can be used and calculate its continuous surface Long-pending concept calculates.
Referring to Fig. 9, area-of-interest can be divided into several unit areas 90, if one of unit area exists Seal defect then determines that there are seal defects for the container 11.As shown in figure 9, with a predetermined angular, by the region of interest regional partition At 8 unit areas 90.Each unit area 90 is individually judged that there are seal defects if there is a unit area 90, i.e., It can determine that there are seal defects for the container 11.Fig. 3 and/or judgment mode shown in Fig. 4 can be used for each unit area 90.
With reference to the method and system of above-mentioned detection heat seal defect, this announcement simultaneously proposes that a kind of detection heats seal defect Equipment, specific implementation can join the method and system of above-mentioned detection heat seal defect and repeat no more.
