Description
Máquina con visión artificial para la separación automática de plásticos reciclables por composición y por colores, con visión multiespectral.Machine with artificial vision for separation Automatic recyclable plastics by composition and colors, with multispectral vision.
El objeto de la presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una máquina con visión artificial para la separación automática de plásticos por colores, basada en la tecnología del análisis de la visión multiespectral, que emplea las zonas ultravioleta, visible e infrarroja del espectro simultáneamente, en longitudes de onda inferiores a 400 nm, entre 400 y 700 nm y superiores a 700 nm. En cada pieza analizada se obtiene su espectrograma que es específico de cada tipo de plástico permitiendo su separación. El sistema neumático de extracción con su barra sopladora permite separar más de un componente.The object of the present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a machine with artificial vision for automatic separation of color plastics, based on the analysis technology of the multispectral vision, which uses the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectrum simultaneously, in wavelengths less than 400 nm, between 400 and 700 nm and greater than 700 nm. In each piece analyzed obtains its spectrogram that is specific of each type of plastic allowing its separation. The system extraction tire with its blower bar allows to separate more of a component.
En la actualidad los plásticos procedentes del reciclaje de residuos urbanos son fundamentalmente envases con colores y composiciones varias. Se pueden encontrar normalmente envases de plásticos de PE, PP, PVC, PET, etc, todos ellos de diferentes colores.Currently plastics from urban waste recycling are primarily containers with Various colors and compositions. They can be found normally Plastic containers of PE, PP, PVC, PET, etc., all of them different colors.
El problema principal es agruparlos por composición, es decir, por tipo de plásticos, por ejemplo, diferenciar el PVC. del PET que tengan el mismo color o no, etc, lo cual implica identificar cada tipo de plásticos de forma clara, a pesar de que los envases presentan distintos grados de suciedad y que lleven etiquetas de diferentes colores.The main problem is to group them by composition, that is, by type of plastics, for example, differentiate PVC. PET that have the same color or not, etc. which implies identifying each type of plastics clearly, to Although the containers have different degrees of dirt and that carry labels of different colors.
Existen máquinas en el mercado basadas en la tecnología de la visión artificial y que funcionan dentro del espectro visible, es decir, realizan el análisis con sistemas de iluminación y cámaras dentro del rango de 400 nm a 700 nm de longitud de onda. Con ello se puede conseguir la separación de plásticos por colores pero no por su composición.There are machines on the market based on the artificial vision technology and they work within the visible spectrum, that is, they perform the analysis with systems of lighting and cameras within the range of 400 nm to 700 nm of wavelength. With this the separation of plastics by colors but not by its composition.
Estas máquinas realizan la separación automática de plásticos por colores por análisis del color combinado con un sistema de extracción por soplado neumático.These machines perform automatic separation of color plastics by color analysis combined with a pneumatic blow extraction system.
En estas máquinas el sistema de visión actúa, según en cada caso, sobre el sistema de extracción para separar el color que interese.In these machines the vision system acts, according to each case, on the extraction system to separate the color that interests.
Actualmente este tipo de máquinas, que se comercializan en el mercado están basadas en la visión artificial que funcionan dentro de la zona infrarroja del espectro, es decir, con longitudes de onda superiores a 700 nm, con ellos se pueden separar algunos plásticos pero no todos ellos con fiabilidad, no garantizándose que los plásticos en su contenedor final tengan cada uno su color definido.Currently this type of machines, which marketed in the market are based on artificial vision that work within the infrared area of the spectrum, that is, with wavelengths greater than 700 nm, with them you can separate some plastics but not all of them with reliability, no ensuring that the plastics in their final container have each One its defined color.
Las máquinas existentes en el mercado sólo pueden separar como máximo un tipo de plástico en cada pasada por medio de una barra sopladora.The existing machines on the market only they can separate at most one type of plastic in each pass by middle of a blower bar.
Esto nos lleva a la conclusión que las limitaciones de la tecnología actual basada en la visión artificial son debidas a dos razones. Primera, que para el análisis de las piezas se emplea la franja visible del espectro o a lo sumo la franja infrarroja con lo que las posibilidades de identificación de los diferentes tipos de plásticos están limitadas y su fiabilidad no es buena. Segunda, en cada pasada sólo se puede separa un componente por medio de una barra sopladora.This leads us to the conclusion that the limitations of current technology based on artificial vision They are due to two reasons. First, that for the analysis of pieces the visible range of the spectrum is used or at most the infrared strip with what the identification possibilities of the different types of plastics are limited and their reliability It is not good. Second, in each pass you can only separate one component by means of a blower bar.
Para resolver y mejorarlas las limitaciones de la tecnología actual que tienen las máquinas existentes y que aplican la visión artificial, funcionando dentro del espectro visible, es decir, que realizan el análisis con sistemas de iluminación y cámaras dentro del rango de 400 nm a 700 nm de longitud de onda, se ha desarrollado la máquina con visión artificial para la separación automática de plásticos reciclables por colores con visión multiespectral que emplea las zonas ultravioleta, visible e infrarroja del espectro simultáneamente, es decir, longitudes de onda inferiores a 400 nm, entre 400 y 700 nm y superiores a 700 nm, así como, de forma automática permite realizar la separación y clasificación de los materiales de plásticos reciclables, con evidentes mejoras innovadoras, dentro del proceso productivo, y realizar una eliminación de la contaminación medio ambiental y su aprovechamiento posterior para su reciclable.To resolve and improve the limitations of the current technology that existing machines have and that apply artificial vision, operating within the spectrum visible, that is, they perform the analysis with systems of lighting and cameras within the range of 400 nm to 700 nm of wavelength, the machine with vision has been developed artificial for automatic separation of recyclable plastics by colors with multispectral vision that uses the zones ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectrum simultaneously, is that is, wavelengths less than 400 nm, between 400 and 700 nm and above 700 nm, as well as, automatically allows the separation and classification of plastics materials recyclable, with obvious innovative improvements, within the process productive, and carry out an elimination of the average pollution environmental and its subsequent use for its recyclable.
