The invention discloses an acetate
fiber tow splicing section detection method and device, and the method comprises the steps: enabling visible light to penetrate through a tow, enabling the visible light to be reflected by a reflector, enabling the visible light to penetrate through the tow again, and enabling the visible light to enter an
illuminance array sensor; obtaining an
illuminance data column according to the reflected light received by the
illuminance array sensor; calculating illuminance average data according to the illuminance data column, and calculating the width of the tow; dividing the illuminance data column into a
background data column and a target data column, and calculating average illuminance data of the target data column; and judging the current tow state according to the tow width and the average illuminance data of the target data column. According to the acetate
fiber tow splicing section detection method and device, based on the illuminance detection technology, the corresponding absorption
wave band of the tow is adopted as a
light source to irradiate the tow, receive the emitted light of the tow, detect the reflected illuminance and carry out
data processing so as to judge which working condition the tow is in currently, and the accuracy and effectiveness of equipment removal are improved; and material loss is reduced.
