The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202311773984.2, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Dec. 21, 2023, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of intelligent manufacture, and in particular to an intelligent detection technology for yarn dyeing performance.
In the manufacturing process of yarns used for spinning and printing (such as polyester filament yarns), dyeing performance is usually judged by random inspection after the yarns are wound into yarn spindles and subsequently doffed. Detection is usually performed using a manual hosiery dyeing method. However, the method has defects of lag and large errors in manual judgment, failing to timely identify products with unqualified dyeing performance during operation of the production line, so that the manufacturer cannot adjust production conditions in time, thereby resulting in an increase of defective products, a decline in product quality, and affecting product sales grade. In addition, the manual random inspection method has the possibility of missed detection and missed judgment, which causes economic losses to downstream manufacturers.
Therefore, the industry urgently needs a detection method that can accurately, timely and completely detect dyeing performance of online yarns.
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for prejudging yarn dyeing performance, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium, so as to timely judge dyeing performance of yarns in a simple and reliable manner.
According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, provided is a method for prejudging yarn dyeing performance, including:
According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, provided is an apparatus for prejudging yarn dyeing performance, including: a spectrum detection unit, a data pre-processing unit, a prejudgment unit and a control unit.
According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, provided is an electronic device, including:
According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, provided is a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer instruction thereon, and the computer instruction is non-transitory and is used to cause a computer to execute the above method.
The technical solution provided in the present disclosure at least include the following beneficial effects:
It should be understood that the content described in this part is not intended to identify critical or essential features of embodiments of the present disclosure, nor is it used to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Other features of the present disclosure will be easily understood through the following description.

The present disclosure will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in the accompanying drawings represent elements with identical or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.
In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific implementations. Those having ordinary skill in the art should understand that the present disclosure may be performed without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and reagents well known to those having ordinary skill in the art are not described in detail, in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.
In the related art, a hosiery dyeing and judging method is usually used to test dyeing performance of fiber filament yarns. The common hosiery dyeing and judging method includes steps of knitting garters, preparing dye solution, dyeing, rinsing, drying and manual color judgment. This method involves many steps, consumes a long time, and has low efficiency, resulting in serious lag in a color judgment result. During a production process, a small number of randomly inspected samples make it easy for missed inspection to occur, and the manual color judgment process will be affected by the experience of the inspector, the test environment, etc., resulting in a change in the color judgment result.
In order to at least partially solve one or more of the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a dyeing effect prediction method. Using the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dyeing grade of each batch of yarn spindles can be objectively predicted without dyeing, improving detection accuracy and detection efficiency.
The main types of yarns involved in the solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure may include one or more of partially oriented yarns (POY), fully drawn yarns (FDY), draw textured yarns (DTY) (or called low-elastic yarns), etc. For example, the types of yarns may specifically include polyester partially oriented yarns, polyester fully drawn yarns, polyester drawn yarns, polyester draw textured yarns, polyester staple fiber, etc.
According to a specific embodiment, the yarn sample normally dyed in the same batch is manually judged by using the yarn sample to be judged through a hosiery dyeing method including garter knitting, dyeing and color judgment.
Specifically, referring to
According to a specific embodiment, the above dyeing step further includes: placing a dyed garter in the dye solution at 60° C. to 90° C. and maintaining for a predetermined time, such as 10-20 min. Preferably, before the garter is placed, the pH of the dye solution is adjusted to be acidic, for example, to be less than 7 such as 5. The pH value of the dye solution may be adjusted by using a buffer system of an organic acid and its salt. For example, the pH value may be adjusted by using the buffer solution of acetic acid-sodium acetate or the buffer solution of citric acid-sodium citrate. Then, temperature of the dye solution is increased to a dyeing temperature and maintained for a period of time. The dyeing temperature may be 100° C. The dyeing step may be carried out in a dyeing device selected from a jet dyeing vat, a rope dyeing vat, and a high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing vat.
After being taken out of the dyeing device, the dyed garter is preferably washed with water and dehydrated for subsequent color judgment steps. Specifically, the garter is covered on a color judgment plate (such as a black and white plate), appropriate observation conditions are selected, and comparison with a standard color card is performed, to determine dyeing grade of the yarn.
The above observation conditions may, for example, include: a lighting condition, for example, referring to the method of FZ/T 01047-1997, the light source used is a D65 standard light source with illumination of 600 to 1000 lx; an incident angle of light on the garter surface, for example, an angle between the incident light and the garter surface may be 45°; an observation angle, which is approximately perpendicular to the garter surface; and an observation distance, which may be approximately 30-40 cm. If the observation is not clear, the incident angle of light may be adjusted to 70°, and the observation angle between the observation direction and the garter surface may be adjusted to 30°.
The dyeing grade may be judged as normal, dark and light according to the standard color card.
The above spectrum may adopt Raman spectrum. Here, the Raman spectrum analysis method is based on the Raman scattering effect of a filament fiber structure. By analyzing a scattered spectrum with a frequency different from that of the incident light, spectral information on structure, vibration and rotation of fiber molecules is obtained, and various qualitative and quantitative analyses are performed. In the Raman spectrum analysis, a high-quality and high-intensity monochromatic laser beam is used to irradiate the surface of the fiber to be analyzed. Due to different microstructures of the fiber to be analyzed, the scattered lights form different scattering spectra (i.e., Raman spectra), for high-precision qualitative and quantitative analysis of fiber properties.
In contrast, an infrared spectrum analysis method uses an infrared radiation source to excite a sample to be detected, and identifies chemical bonds and vibration modes in a molecular structure by measuring intensities of absorption, scattering and transmission of infrared radiation in the material, to obtain an absorption spectrum (i.e. an infrared spectrum), thereby determining the structure of the molecule.
In comparison, since the Raman effect exists more widely and the excitation source used is high-purity and high-intensity laser, the signal in Raman spectrum analysis is purer, the signal-to-noise ratio is higher, the system is simpler, the layout is more flexible, and the environmental interference is less.
In the present disclosure, the filament to be detected may be a polyester fiber product with a crystalline structure, or a polyester fiber product with a non-crystalline structure. The polyester fiber product may be polyester filament yarns obtained by spinning and post-processing. The crystalline structure refers to a state in which polymers are orderly arranged in the fiber. In the crystalline structure, polymer chains are arranged with each other closely to form an orderly lattice structure. The fiber with the crystalline structure usually has higher crystallinity. Due to the orderly arrangement of molecules, the fiber with the crystalline structure is usually more stable and also have higher strength and hardness. The non-crystalline structure refers to a state in which polymers are disordered in the fiber without forming a regular lattice structure. In the non-crystalline structure, the polymer chains are relatively loose and are not obviously periodically arranged. During dyeing, the lattice structure usually cannot be dyed. The differences in dyeing indicators of fibers in the same type mainly stem from differences in fiber crystallinity (or degree of vitrification), crystal distribution, orientation degree, and end group concentration of the fibers. During the dyeing process, the dye molecules can only combine with the end groups of the non-crystalline part in the fibers. The more the dye molecules combine, the darker the dyed color will be, and vice versa.
The Raman spectrum analysis is sensitive to crystallinity, orientation degree and component concentration of the detected fiber sample. In a specific embodiment, multiple pieces of spectral information may be measured at multiple wave numbers within a wavenumber range from 500 cm−1 to 3500 cm−1 to form the Raman spectrum, for example, shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, step S102 includes performing spectral detection on a yarn spindle of the yarn determined to be normally dyed in step S101, to obtain a spectrogram and continuous spectral information [xi, yi]. Preferably, the spectrum information includes wave number sampling value xi (corresponding to the abscissa of the Raman spectrogram shown in
According to a specific embodiment, the wave number sampling step in the above step S102 may be 1 to 10 cm−1, for example, 3 to 7 cm−1, and preferably 5 cm−1.
Specifically, in the method of the present disclosure, spectral detection is preferably performed downstream of a winding process of the yarn spindle, that is, a spectrometer is arranged on one side or downstream of a winder of a yarn production line. For example, the spectrometer may be arranged on a transfer device of the yarn spindle, so that spectral detection can be completed while the yarn spindle is wound or transferred. Preferably, measuring positions may be distributed on an annular side of the yarn spindle. For example, the yarn spindle may be rotated during test, so that measuring positions are distributed at different positions as much as possible, to improve accuracy of measurement.
On the other hand, spectral information obtained in this step includes a spectral intensity value rather than a specific structural feature or performance feature.
In the method of the present disclosure, the obtained spectral information includes the wave number sampling value and the spectral intensity value, rather than numerical information of a single physicochemical property. Since the obtained spectrogram is a comprehensive reflection of multiple factors such as chemical structure, crystallization state, orientation degree and glass transition temperature of the fiber and oil solution contained in the fiber, dyeing characteristic of the fiber may be reflected more accurately. In addition, the wave number sampling value and the spectral intensity value may be directly obtained from a spectral curve graph, avoiding method steps of complex parameter conversion and processing.
where, σ is 0.5, 1 is 1.0, and tm and tn represent labels of dimensions and correspond to an m-th feature and an n-th feature. Here, tm corresponds to a value of yi when i=m, tn corresponds to a value of yi when i=n, and m and n are natural numbers from 1 to 400 respectively.
According to the above Gaussian process kernel (RBF Kernel), the more adjacent two features are in dimension, the higher the covariance coefficient between them is, and the more correlated the two features are; the farther the two features are apart, the smaller the covariance coefficient between them is, and the less correlated they are.
Here, the plurality of pieces of continuous second spectrum information [xj, yj] is a 2×N1 matrix. Here, xj is a wave number value of a j-th sampling point in a second spectrogram, and yj is spectral intensity of the j-th sampling point in the second spectrogram. Specifically, j=1, 2, . . . , N1, and N1 is the sampling number of the yarn sample in the batch to be judged and is a natural number greater than 200.
In order to make the degree of fitting of the above Gaussian process regression high, a higher sampling rate is preferably used, that is, a larger value of N1 is selected. According to an embodiment, when the wave number step of sampling is 10 cm−1, the sampling number N is 200. According to another embodiment, when the wave number step of sampling is 5 cm−1, the sampling number N is 400. According to actual needs, other wave number steps may be selected, and corresponding sampling numbers are selected accordingly.
The above sampling process may be performed for one yarn spindle or a plurality of yarn spindles in the same batch. According to an embodiment, spectral scanning may be performed on one yarn spindle while it is being rotated, so that sampling points are evenly distributed on the surface of the circumferential side of the yarn spindle. According to another embodiment, spectral scanning may be performed on a plurality of yarn spindles wound in parallel on a winder, and sampling positions may be evenly distributed.
Here, aj is a wave number value of a j-th sampling point in a third spectrogram, and bj is spectral intensity of the j-th sampling point in the third spectrogram. Specifically, j=1, 2, . . . , N1, and N2 is the sampling number of the yarn sample in the batch to be judged and is a natural number greater than 200. Preferably, N2 is equal to N1.
The spectral information matrices with the same size are obtained in the steps S104 and S105. That is, preferably, the sampling method for detecting the target yarn spindle is consistent with the sampling method for the Gaussian process regression model described above, to facilitate data processing in subsequent steps.
The spectral information measured for the yarn sample to be detected (such as the yarn spindle to be detected) is compared with spectral information processed by the Gaussian process regression model to obtain a fluctuation amplitude of the spectral characteristic of the yarn sample to be detected, and further the fluctuation amplitude is used to measure dyeing performance of the yarn sample.
According to characteristics of the adopted spectral detection method and characteristics of the detected yarn, it is determined that the dyeing performance of the yarn is within a normal range when a variation amplitude of the spectral intensity is within 0.01.
Referring to
According to another specific embodiment, when the value of vj is greater than 0.01, it is determined that the yarn sample to be detected is darkly dyed, as shown by the area D in
According to yet another specific embodiment, when the value of vj is less than −0.01, it is determined that the yarn sample to be detected is lightly dyed, as shown by the area L in
As can be seen from the above, compared with the conventional infrared spectrum detection method in which the sampling number is usually 5-10, the sampling number is significantly larger (more than 200) in the method of the present disclosure, making the detection result more accurate and more conducive to preventing missed detection. Also, by using the Gaussian process regression model to process detection data, the spectral intensity value directly corresponds to dyeing characteristics of the yarn, saving a data conversion process while avoiding the phenomenon that the use of data of a single performance feature to measure the yarn dyeing performance is prone to deviation, so that the judgment result is more accurate, the detection process is simpler, the detection efficiency is higher, and this method is more suitable for online real-time detection of the production line.
