    摘要: A gin process control system including sensing stations for sensing the physical properties of cotton as it progresses through a gin. A moisture sensor determines, over a wide range of values, the amount of moisture in the cotton. A quality monitor determines the color of the cotton, color distribution, and the amount and type of trash or other impurities which may be entrained in the cotton. A micronaire unit determines both micronaire and cotton maturity. A fiber length tester provides information on the length distribution, breaking strength, and elongation of the cotton fibers. Cotton samples are gathered from the gin flow stream and presented to the sensing stations in a variety of manual, semi-automated, and automated fashions. In a fully automated unit, the sensing stations are connected directly to the gin. The sensing stations are also in communication with the gin process control system, which uses the data from the sensing stations to automatically control the operation of the gin. Alternately, the sensing stations are assembled into a stand-alone unit. In a semi-automatic version of the stand-alone unit, samples are manually gathered and presented to the unit in cassettes for automated subsampling and testing by the sensing stations. In this semi-automatic version, the sensing stations may be in a configuration identical to that of the fully automatic, on-line unit. In a manual version of the stand-alone unit, the samples are manually gathered and manually placed into contact with the various sensing stations. The information reported by the stand-alone units can be used to manually control the operation of the gin.

    摘要: An apparatus for processing a sample of fibers and trash, having a cylinder for receiving the sample. Pins extend from the surface of the cylinder and retain the fibers. A knife extends along the cylinder adjacent the pins, and removes the trash that is not retained by the pins. The trash is separated from the sample along a downward direction. A counter-flow of air in an upward direction is directed towards the cylinder, where the velocity is sufficient to blow the fibers that are not originally retained by the pins up toward the cylinder, and yet is insufficient to prevent gravity from pulling the trash downward.

    摘要: A fiber quality monitoring apparatus is constructed with a sample window for viewing a fiber sample. As the fiber sample passes the sample window, a bulb is strobed to produce a light pulse that is directed toward and reflected by the fiber sample. When the light pulse reaches a desired intensity, a first photo diode generates a synchronization signal. A second photo diode detects reflected light with a wavelength between about 500 nanometers and about 600 nanometers and produces a reflection signal. A third photo diode detects reflected light with a wavelength between about 430 nanometers and about 530 nanometers and produces a color signal. A charge coupled device camera is positioned to receive the reflected light pulse. The charge coupled device camera has an array of pixels which receive the reflected light pulse. Pixels receiving the reflected light pulse at an intensity below a desired value are designated as dark pixels and pixels receiving the reflected light pulse at an intensity greater than the desired level are designated as light pixels. A prism focuses the reflected light pulse received by the second and third photo diodes, and a transparent block encloses the strobing Xenon bulb and the first photo diode so that the light pulse is conducted from the Xenon bulb to the first diode. Processing means analyze the color signal and the reflection signal and produce a composite value, and a percentage value representing the percentage of dark pixels in the array of dark and light pixels. Furthermore, the processing means recognizes and classifies patterns of dark pixels in the array of light and dark pixels, and controls fiber processing equipment in response to the composite and percentage values.

    摘要: A nep separator and detector for presenting a fiber sample having fibers, neps, and trash. A toothed rotating cylinder receives the fiber sample at a fiber sample receiving point, and impacts and propels at least a portion of the trash and neps along an ejection path. An air curtain is directed toward and passes across a portion of the toothed surface of the rotating cylinder, at a location rotationally after the fiber sample is received by the toothed rotating cylinder. The air curtain crosses and is oriented transverse to the ejection path, and draws at least a portion of the neps out of the ejection path and onto the surface of the toothed cylinder as it rotates. The trash propelled by impact with the toothed rotating cylinder has sufficient momentum to pass through the air curtain along the ejection path. A dead air space is positioned in the ejection path and disposed adjacent the air curtain and across the air curtain from the fiber sample receiving point. The trash propelled by the toothed rotating cylinder passes through the dead air space. A nep air stream draws the neps on the surface of the toothed cylinder off the surface of the toothed cylinder at a nep release point, and the neps are entrained in the nep air stream. A sensor detects the neps entrained in the nep air stream, and produces a nep detection signal upon the occurrence of each detection of a nep. An output receives the nep detection signals produced by the sensor and produces output signals corresponding to the nep detection signals.

    摘要: A method for measuring the weight of impurities in a mixed volume of fibers and impurities by mechanically separating the impurities are from the fibers, whereupon some undesired fibers still remain admixed to the impurities due to imperfections of the mechanical separation. A total weight of the separated impurities and the undesired fibers is gravimetrically measured. An image of the separated impurities and the undesired fibers is created. A weight of the undesired fibers is estimated from the image. The estimated weight of the undesired fibers is subtracted from the total weight to yield a corrected weight of the impurities. The mechanical separation and the subsequent electronic correction yield a more accurate weight of the impurities.
