I. Introduction

 

As an important textile raw material, the quality of cotton directly affects the quality and market competitiveness of textiles. In the process of cotton processing, the removal of impurities is the key link to ensure the quality of cotton. Although the traditional manual selection of cotton impurities can achieve a certain effect, there are some problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity and low precision. Therefore, the development of an efficient and accurate automated cotton impurity sorting system has become an urgent need for the development of the industry.

 

In recent years, with the continuous progress of X-ray detection technology, its application in the field of cotton impurity sorting has gradually become prominent. The X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system can accurately identify and sort out various impurities in cotton by using the penetration and imaging characteristics of X-rays, which greatly improves the efficiency and quality of cotton processing.

 

Second, X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system principle

X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system is mainly composed of X-ray light source, detector, image processing unit and sorting mechanism. The working principle is: the X-ray emitted by the X-ray light source penetrates the cotton layer, and the detector receives the X-ray signal after penetration and converts it into a digital image; Image processing unit processes and analyzes digital images to identify impurities in cotton. Finally, the sorting institution sorts and removes the cotton containing impurities according to the identification results.

 

In the process of X-ray detection, different substances have different absorption and scattering characteristics of X-ray, so different gray values can be formed on the image. By setting the appropriate threshold, the system can distinguish between cotton and impurities, so as to achieve accurate identification of impurities.

 

Third, the advantages of X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system

 

Compared with the traditional manual selection method, the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system has the following significant advantages:

 

High efficiency: The system can continuously and quickly process large quantities of cotton, which greatly improves production efficiency.

Accuracy: Through X-ray detection and image processing technology, the system can accurately identify and sort out various small impurities, ensuring the quality of cotton.

Reduced labor intensity: Automated sorting processes reduce manual involvement and reduce labor intensity for workers.

Wide adaptability: The system can adapt to the treatment needs of different types and different qualities of cotton, and has strong versatility.

4. Application of X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system in cotton processing

 

The application of X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system in cotton processing is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

 

Pretreatment stage: Before the cotton enters the processing process, the system can conduct preliminary screening of the cotton, remove large impurities and foreign bodies, and provide high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing.

Processing process monitoring: In the process of cotton processing, the system can monitor the quality of cotton in real time, discover and deal with possible impurities in time, and ensure the stability and continuity of the processing process.

Finished product inspection: After the completion of cotton processing, the system can conduct final inspection of the finished product to ensure that the cotton products leaving the factory meet the quality standards.

Through the application of X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system, cotton processing enterprises can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, improve product quality, and thus enhance market competitiveness.

 

Fifth, X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system development trend

 

With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of the cotton processing industry, the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system will show the following development trends in the future:

 

Intelligent development: Through the introduction of artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technologies, the system will further improve the accuracy and efficiency of impurity identification, and achieve a higher level of automation and intelligence.

High-precision detection: With the continuous upgrading and improvement of X-ray detection technology, the system will be able to achieve the detection and treatment of smaller and more hidden impurities, further improving the purity of cotton.

Multi-functional integration: The system will further integrate the functions of other cotton processing links, such as color grading, fiber length measurement, etc., to form an integrated cotton processing solution.

Green environmental protection: In the process of system design and operation, more attention will be paid to environmental protection and energy saving, and low-radiation and low-energy X-ray light sources and testing equipment will be used to reduce the impact on the environment.

Vi. Conclusion

 

With its high efficiency and accuracy, the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system is gradually replacing the traditional manual selection of cotton impurities, and has become an important technical support in the field of cotton processing. With the progress of science and technology and the development of the industry, the system will further realize intelligent, high-precision and multi-functional, bringing more development opportunities and challenges for the cotton processing industry.

 

Looking forward to the future, we expect that the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system can be applied and promoted in more fields, and make greater contributions to improving the quality of cotton and promoting the development of the textile industry. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the technological innovation and upgrading of the system to adapt to the changing market demand and industry development trends.
