Seed cotton foreign fiber intelligent selection production line successfully runs

On January 23, I learned from Liaocheng University: The seed cotton fiber-optic intelligent selection production line jointly developed by Liaocheng University and Nanjing Forestry University and Shandong Fushun Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully installed and debugged in Xinjiang cotton processing enterprises, and has been put into cotton processing. The detection rate of foreign fiber exceeds the domestic and foreign lint fiber foreign fiber detection machine, successfully breaks through the bottleneck of the cotton processing industry development, fills in the technology and equipment gap of the heterogeneous fiber intelligent selection in the seed cotton stage in the cotton processing process, and obtains Academician Chen Xuegeng, etc. Affirmation of experts in the field of agricultural mechanization engineering.

The number of Chinese textile enterprises is the highest in the world. However, due to the diverse domestic cotton planting patterns and backward selection processes, high-quality cotton has always relied on imported US cotton and Australian cotton, which has greatly increased the cost of raw materials and affected the healthy development of the domestic cotton industry. Over the past few decades, the excessively high-quality fiber has been the bottleneck restricting the improvement of China's cotton quality. Cotton processing enterprises have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources for manual picking, with low automation and low detection rate. China's cotton processing industry urgently needs to develop heterogeneous intelligent selection equipment at the seed cotton stage, the source of the industrial chain.

Liaocheng University is committed to serving the development of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” and closely coping with major strategic deployments such as rural revitalization, new and old kinetic energy conversion and economic and social development needs. As early as 7 years ago, Dr. Zhao Ling, a team of the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, began to focus his research on seed cotton foreign fiber selection technology. After five generations of prototype upgrades and more than a dozen technological breakthroughs, Dr. Zhao Ling successfully developed a seed cotton foreign fiber intelligent selection machine to fill the international gap in both technology and equipment fields. The equipment integrates mechanical, electronic, optical, chromatography, pneumatic and other technologies to achieve sorting and sorting of seed cotton impurities, multi-level selection, to meet the requirements of high-end textile enterprises, to improve the quality of cotton products from the source, and increase the profit of cotton processing enterprises. To achieve high-grade cotton for self-production, the market prospects and economic benefits are huge.

In order to promote the industrialization of this technology, Liaocheng University established the “Collaborative Innovation Center for Agricultural Products Intelligent Sorting Technology”, which was invested by the high-tech industry group of the school to build the first international article in the town of Awati, Xinjiang, the hometown of long-staple cotton. Seed cotton foreign fiber intelligent selection production line. The R&D team moved from the Liaocheng University laboratory to Awati in the Taklimakan Desert to overcome many difficulties. After more than half a year of fighting and focusing, the production line was successfully operated. The production line is designed to process 8 tons / hour, the actual output of lint 60 tons / day, the daily output value of 1.5 million yuan. The successful research and development and large-scale application of this high-end equipment is a major achievement of Liaocheng University to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and agricultural technology, and to serve the construction of new and old kinetic energy projects. It is playing a role in the industry and effectively promoting the development and technological progress of the cotton processing industry. .
