I. Introduction

 

As an important textile raw material, cotton's quality directly determines the quality and market competitiveness of textiles. However, in the process of cotton processing, the presence of impurities not only affects the quality of cotton, but also reduces the efficiency of sorting, and the waste generated in the manual sorting process also causes pollution to the environment. Therefore, developing an efficient and environmentally friendly cotton impurity sorting system has become an urgent problem for the cotton processing industry.

 

In recent years, with the continuous development of X-ray detection technology, its application in the field of industrial detection is more and more extensive. X-ray detection technology has the advantages of non-contact, high penetration and high resolution, and can realize the accurate detection of the internal structure of substances. Therefore, the application of X-ray detection technology in cotton impurity sorting system is expected to achieve accurate identification and efficient sorting of impurities, so as to improve the efficiency and accuracy of cotton sorting and reduce environmental pollution.
 

2. Design and implementation of sorting system for X-ray detection of cotton impurities

 

System design

X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system is mainly composed of X-ray transmitter, detector, image processor, control system and sorting mechanism. When the system works, the X-ray transmitter sends X-rays through the cotton sample, and the detector receives the transmitted X-rays and converts them into image signals. The image processor processes the image signal to identify impurities in the cotton and determine their location. The control system controls the sorting mechanism to sort impurities according to the results of the image processor.

 

System implementation

In the implementation process, the X-ray transmitter and detector need to be calibrated first to ensure the accuracy of the detection results. The image processor is then trained and optimized so that it can accurately identify impurities in cotton. The control system needs to realize real-time communication with the image processor, and control the sorting mechanism for accurate sorting according to the processing results.

 

Third, X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system to improve the sorting efficiency

 

The traditional cotton impurity sorting mainly relies on manual completion, which is not only inefficient, but also easy to be affected by human factors, resulting in low sorting accuracy. The X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system realizes the precise identification and sorting of impurities through an automatic and intelligent way, which greatly improves the efficiency of sorting.

 

First of all, the X-ray detection technology can realize the penetration detection of the internal structure of cotton, regardless of the influence of the surface shape, so as to accurately identify the impurities hidden in the cotton. Secondly, the image processor can quickly process a large amount of image data to realize real-time identification and localization of impurities. Finally, the control system can respond quickly according to the processing results and control the sorting mechanism to carry out accurate sorting of impurities. The combined effect of these factors makes the sorting efficiency of the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system much higher than the traditional manual sorting method.

 

In addition, the system is highly scalable and flexible, and can be adjusted and optimized according to different cotton varieties and impurity types, thus further improving the efficiency and accuracy of sorting.

 

Fourth, X-ray detection of cotton impurity sorting system to improve environmental pollution

 

The traditional manual sorting method is not only inefficient, but also produces a lot of waste in the sorting process, such as discarded cotton leaves, cotton seeds, etc., which will pollute the environment if not properly treated. The X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system realizes the precise identification and sorting of impurities through an automatic and intelligent way, and reduces the generation of waste.

 

At the same time, the system can also classify and treat the sorted impurities, such as recycling recyclable impurities and harmless treatment of non-recyclable impurities, thus further reducing the impact on the environment. In addition, the automated operation of the system also reduces the risk of pollution caused by manual operation, such as reducing the waste caused by improper operation.

 

5. Effect evaluation and future outlook

 

Through the evaluation of the practical application effect of the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system, it can be found that the system has achieved remarkable results in improving the efficiency of cotton sorting and reducing environmental pollution. Compared with the traditional manual sorting method, the sorting efficiency of the system is several times higher, while the amount of waste generated is greatly reduced.

 

However, although the X-ray detection cotton impurity sorting system has achieved remarkable results, there are still some areas that need improvement and perfection. For example, the cost of the system is high and may be unbearable for some small cotton processing enterprises. In the future, the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost of the system can be reduced through technological innovation and cost optimization, so that it is more popular and applied.

 

In addition, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, advanced technologies such as deep learning can be considered to be introduced into the system to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of impurity identification. At the same time, it can also explore the integration of the system with other cotton processing equipment to realize the automation and intelligence of the cotton processing process.

 

Vi. Conclusion

 

X-ray detection Cotton impurity sorting system through the introduction of X-ray detection technology to achieve accurate identification of cotton impurities and efficient sorting, greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of cotton sorting, while reducing environmental pollution. The system has wide application prospect and huge market potential, which is of great significance to promote the sustainable development of cotton processing industry. In the future, with the continuous progress and improvement of technology, it is believed that the system will play a more important role in the field of cotton processing.
