Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the automated identification of bobbin tubes which are used at workstations of textile machines producing cross-wound bobbins, in particular in a multi-batch operation of such textile machines on the basis of characteristic features of the bobbin tubes.
  • a roving bobbin transport system which connect roving machines, so-called flyers, with ring spinning machines connected downstream in the production process.
  • the ringspinnmaschinen speaking roving bobbin transport devices are each connected via a converter indirectly with a roving bobbin transport path to which a plurality of flyers are connected. Since the flyers on the transport path different yarn lots are delivered, the sleeves are the Roving bobbins are marked in color according to their yarn section.
  • the converters arranged in the area of the ring spinning machines each cooperate with a color sensor, which detects the color of the sleeves of the delivered roving bobbins and causes the converter to remove only roving bobbins from the transport path whose sleeves have a specific, predefinable color.
  • the color sensors used are commercially available sensor devices that can distinguish up to eight different sleeve colors.
  • the use of such color sensors for detecting the color of a reusable, monochrome Vorgarnhülse or a reusable, monochrome Spinnkopshülse has proven in practice quite well. However, such color sensors are not applicable when it comes to distinguish sleeves that are not monochrome colored, but have other characteristics.
  • Such, usually inexpensive made of cardboard "disposable" sleeves have, for example, on the sleeve surface on a pattern or a certain imprint, through which the respective bobbin tube is clearly identifiable.
  • the spinning head sleeve to be examined is irradiated with light and the light reflected from the spinning head sleeve is detected by an image recording device, for example a CCD video camera, and converted into digital image data.
  • the digital image data are fed to an evaluation computer which subjects the image matrix corresponding to the digital image data to edge filtering in order to determine the edge contours contained in the image matrix in this way. Depending on the edge contours obtained, it is then concluded that the presence or absence of thread remnants is present on the examined spinning head sleeve.
  • CCD cameras are also related to textile machines DD-266 078 A1 known.
  • coil body are checked contactless by means of a CCD camera on their geometry and their position and then stored tip-oriented.
  • DD-PS 150 699 or the DE 27 49 682 C2 Photoelectric or opto-electronic devices for detecting and sorting objects according to their external shape known.
  • Such a device which is able to identify objects based on their external shape, is also in the DE 43 05 562 A1 described.
  • packaging waste such as plastic bottles, passed by an image-resolving sensor and obtained from the image information obtained shape characteristics.
  • the packaging waste is then sorted out, based on the obtained shape characteristics in channels that are intended for items with the appropriate features.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a method and / or a device which makes it possible to automatically machine bobbins for textile machines both on the basis of their color and on the basis of other characteristic features, for example a special pattern , to identify.
  • an image of the bobbin tube to be identified is created by at least one camera and transmitted to an image processing device.
  • this image is then checked for specifiable, characteristic features, such as patterning and / or color, and the characteristics determined are compared with the characteristic features of already classified bobbin tubes whose images are stored in a memory.
  • characteristic features such as patterning and / or color
  • the bobbin tube in question is considered to be reliably identified. That is, the identified bobbin tube can be readily conveyed by machine to a work station on which runs a yarn lot identified by the respective bobbin tubes.
  • an image of the bobbin tube to be identified which serves as a so-called pattern space in the image processing device, is divided into several in the image processing device Image sections, so-called templates divided, which differ preferably both in terms of their shape and size, as well as with respect to their location within the sample space.
  • the templates differ both in their shape and size, as in their position in the sample space, it is ensured that both coil patterns, which are preferably perpendicular to the sleeve axis, as well as coil patterns which are arranged more parallel to the sleeve axis the templates are detected with sufficient certainty and can be reliably processed and identified in the image processing device. It was determined experimentally that nine correspondingly formed and arranged images are sufficient in order to always be able to reliably detect all the patterns of a bobbin tube.
  • the characteristic features, to which the bobbin tubes are checked for the purpose of identification are in particular the color and the pattern of the bobbin tube.
  • the determination of the respective color of the bobbin tube is preferably carried out as explained in claim 5, according to the so-called "color matching method".
  • this method as set forth in claim 6, an analysis of the color spectrum of the bobbin, for example in an HSL color space instead. That is, it comes in the image processing device to an evaluation of color information of the image information created by the CCD camera.
  • the image information of the present bobbin tube is compared with image information of already classified bobbin tubes and checked for agreement with predetermined color information.
  • the pattern of the bobbin tube is deduced in the image processing device from the distribution of the different gray values within the documents to be checked.
  • the "pattern matching method” a quantization of the templates takes place. That is, the totality of the surface of each template is broken down into individual surface elements, which are individually checked for the distribution of different gray levels.
  • the templates are divided into grids and checked each grid for specific features. For example, it starts with a relatively coarse grid and gradually refines the grid. In this way, it is ensured that all the important features characterizing the bobbin tube in question are reliably determined and thus the bobbin tube is unequivocally identified.
  • the image of a bobbin tube to be identified is compared with the images of already classified bobbin tubes stored in a memory, and then, as explained in claim 8, the respective degree of conformity is determined.
  • the degree of agreement is rated on a scale between 0 and 1000. 1000 means a complete match of the templates of the bobbin tube to be identified with the templates of one of the already classified bobbin tubes. However, since such a complete match is unlikely for various reasons, the achievement of a predefinable threshold value is already interpreted as a successful and reliable identification of the relevant bobbin tube.
  • the identification of a submitted bobbin tube is done in less than 2 sec. (Anspr.9), that means, the bobbin flow rate can be easily realized with the inventive method, which ensures smooth operation at any time of textile machines, which have a variety of jobs ,
  • the images of the bobbin tubes, which are checked in the image processing device and compared with each other, may be partially distorted due to the sleeve geometry.
  • templates of the same type are always compared with one another in the image processing device.
  • the device for carrying out the method according to the invention has, as described in claim 13, at least one CCD camera for receiving an image of a coil sleeve to be identified and an associated light source.
  • the CCD camera is connected via a signal line to a digital image processing device in which the recorded by the CCD camera image of the coil sleeve to be identified for characteristic features checked and compared with images of already classified bobbin tubes, which are stored in an associated memory , At a specifiable degree of conformity of the characteristic features of the image of the bobbin tubes to be identified with the characteristic features of one of the already classified bobbin tube, the present bobbin tube is identified as being identified.
  • the software of the digital image processing device is preferably integrated in the machine software of the central control unit of the textile machine. That is, no separate computer is needed, but it is used on existing hardware of the textile machine.
  • the method according to the invention can be realized relatively inexpensively in this way.
  • a light source for illuminating the coil tubes to be examined is preferably a constant, diffuse light source is used (Anspr.15), that is, a light source in which the emitted light beams have no preferred direction.
  • coil bobbins which have a relatively smooth surface, as is often the case, for example, with bobbin sleeves made of plastic, overexpose the sleeve surface.
  • the inserted CCD camera is preferably inclined with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the bobbin tube at an angle.
  • the images of the already classified bobbin tubes, which are used on the textile machine are preferably stored in an associated memory of the image processing device as set out in claim 17.
  • a device equipped in this way is then able to automatically identify all bobbin cases used on the textile machine in their pattern correctly.
  • the device according to the invention is usually sufficiently equipped with a single CCD camera, it may also be advantageous to use a multi-camera system (claims 18).
  • a multi-camera system (claims 18).
  • a device equipped with only one camera it is not always possible to reliably detect bobbins whose pattern in the longitudinal direction of the bobbin has a period corresponding to the entire length of the bobbin, that is, a bobbin in which, for example, the The front is white and the back is black.
  • Fig.1 schematically a device for carrying out the method according to the invention is shown.
