Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of control systems, and in particular to an optimized control system and method for the production process of heat shrinkable films. Background Art
[0002] Heat shrinkable film is a kind of polymer film material widely used in the fields of food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, and electronic product packaging. Its production process usually includes key steps such as melt extrusion, biaxial stretching, and heat setting. With the development of polymer materials science and precision manufacturing technology, the production process of heat shrinkable film has evolved from traditional unidirectional stretching to modern high-precision biaxial stretching technology, and the process control method has gradually changed from manual empirical adjustment to automatic control. In the early production process, it mainly relied on operators to adjust the extrusion temperature, stretching ratio, and heat setting temperature according to experience, resulting in poor product quality stability. With the development of industrial sensing technology, an on-line monitoring system has been gradually introduced into the production process, which can detect key parameters such as thickness, tensile strength, and heat shrinkage rate in real time, and correct process parameters through a feedback control system. However, the traditional feedback control system relies on linear regression or simple PID control, and it is difficult to accurately predict the impact of process parameters on the performance of the final product, resulting in limited optimization ability. The defects of the existing technology are mainly reflected in the insufficient control of melt uniformity. The traditional melt extrusion process is affected by the fluctuation of resin rheological properties, and it is easy to produce local density non-uniformity, which affects the mechanical properties and optical properties of the film material. Secondly, the adjustment of biaxial stretching process parameters relies on experience, and there is a lack of an accurate mechanical orientation prediction model, resulting in difficult control of stretching uniformity. In addition, the optimization of heat setting temperature lacks a systematic method. The existing technology usually adjusts through experiments and lacks a heat shrinkage rate prediction mechanism, resulting in limited dimensional stability of the final product. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Based on this, it is necessary for the present invention to provide an optimized control system and method for the production process of heat shrinkable films to solve at least one of the above technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above object, an optimized control method for the production process of heat shrinkable films includes the following steps: Step S1: Obtain the resin characteristic parameters of the raw materials of the heat shrinkable film, and construct an initial digital twin model by using the resin characteristic parameters; Step S2: Collect real-time production data, and update the initial digital twin model by using the real-time production data to obtain a complete digital twin model; Step S3: Perform melt ultrasonic-assisted homogenization and biaxial stretching process simulation based on the digital twin model, and use the simulation results for optimization analysis to generate optimized process parameters; Step S4: Adjust the actual production process parameters based on the optimized process parameters, and perform ultrasonic-assisted homogenization treatment, extrusion molding, biaxial stretching, and heat setting on the melt to obtain the actual product parameters; Step S5: Perform performance testing and quality assessment on the actual product parameters to obtain a quality characteristic assessment report; Step S6: Design a process optimization plan based on the quality characteristic assessment report, and use the process optimization plan to perform production process optimization control to obtain the optimal production process parameters.
[0005] The present invention realizes the accurate prediction of the rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and heat shrinkage properties of the melt by obtaining the resin characteristic parameters of the raw materials of the heat shrinkable film and constructing an initial digital twin model, providing basic data support for subsequent process parameter optimization. Real-time collection of production data and updating of the digital twin model enable process control to adapt to batch differences in raw materials and changes in equipment operating conditions, improving the stability of the production process. Based on the complete digital twin model, ultrasonic-assisted homogenization and biaxial stretching process simulations of the melt are carried out, making the control of melt uniformity more precise, optimizing the shear rate distribution and molecular chain orientation degree, improving the mechanical properties and optical properties of the film material. At the same time, through optimization analysis of the simulation results, the generated optimized process parameters can effectively guide the production process. Adjusting the actual production process parameters based on the optimized process parameters enables fine control of the ultrasonic-assisted homogenization treatment, extrusion molding, biaxial stretching, and heat setting processes, avoiding the uncertainty brought by traditional experience-based adjustments, and improving the thickness uniformity, orientation uniformity, and heat setting dimensional stability of the film material. Performing performance testing and quality assessment on the actual product parameters quantifies the quality data of the produced heat shrinkable film, ensuring that the thickness deviation, tensile strength, heat shrinkage rate, and optical properties all meet the set standards, and providing quality feedback on the production process through the quality characteristic assessment report. Designing a process optimization plan based on the quality characteristic assessment report and using the process optimization plan to perform production process optimization control makes the process parameter adjustment targeted. Through precise optimization of the ultrasonic power, extrusion temperature, stretching ratio, and heat setting temperature, the consistency and stability of the product are further improved, thus ensuring that the finally produced heat shrinkable film meets the high-standard requirements for mechanical properties, optical properties, and heat shrinkage properties.

[0013] In the embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the step flow of a production process optimization control method for heat shrinkable film according to the present invention. In this example, the production process optimization control method for heat shrinkable film includes the following steps: Step S1: Obtain the resin characteristic parameters of the heat shrinkable film raw material, and use the resin characteristic parameters to construct an initial digital twin model; The resin characteristic parameters obtained in the embodiment of the present invention include measuring the melt index (MI), crystallinity, molecular weight distribution, density, and viscoelastic parameters of polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene terephthalate resin. Specifically, the resin melting point is measured to be 110±2°C and the crystallinity is 45±3% by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The melt index at 175°C is measured to be 2.5±0.2 g / 10 min by a capillary rheometer. The number average molecular weight of the resin is measured to be 80000±5000 and the weight average molecular weight is 220000±8000 by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The resin density is measured to be 0.923±0.002 , and the storage modulus of the resin is measured by a rotational rheometer is 1200±50 Pa, and the loss modulus is 800±40 Pa; the above-mentioned measured resin characteristic parameters are input into POLYFLOW finite element analysis software to construct a three-dimensional digital model including resin physical properties, rheological properties, and thermodynamic properties. The mesh element size is set to 0.5 mm, and the total number of meshes is 50000. The Cross-WLF viscosity model is used to describe the resin rheological behavior, and the Tait equation of state is used to describe the resin PVT relationship. The boundary conditions are set as the die wall temperature of 160±5°C, the extrusion pressure of 15±1 MPa, and the shear rate of 100±10 , and the initial digital twin model is obtained through iterative calculation. The average error between the material flow field, temperature field, and stress field predicted by this model and the experimental measurement values is less than 5%, thus completing the construction of the initial digital twin model.
[0014] Step S2: Collect real-time production data, and use the real-time production data to update the initial digital twin model to obtain a complete digital twin model; In the embodiments of the present invention, the real-time production data is collected by installing a multi-point sensing and monitoring system on the heat shrinkable film production line. Specifically, it includes installing 8 PT100 type temperature sensors in different areas of the extruder barrel to measure the melt temperature, and the real-time collected temperature data range is from 165±5°C to 210±5°C; installing 4 pressure sensors to monitor the extrusion pressure, and the measurement range is from 12±1MPa to 18±1MPa; installing a laser displacement sensor at the outlet of the T-die to measure the film thickness, with an accuracy of ±0.001mm; installing an optical encoder in the stretching section to measure the stretching rate, and the range is from 5±0.5m / min to 15±0.5m / min; installing a power meter in the ultrasonic treatment unit to measure the ultrasonic output power, and the range is from 500±20W to 1500±20W, with a frequency of 20±0.5kHz; using a near-infrared spectrometer to monitor the change of melt crystallinity in real time, with a sampling frequency of 10Hz; the data collected by all sensors is transmitted to the data acquisition unit through the fieldbus, the acquisition frequency is set to 100Hz, and the acquisition duration is 72 hours, obtaining a total of 25,920,000 data points in the real-time production parameter dataset; then using the Kalman filter algorithm to denoise the collected data, filtering out high-frequency noise, and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased to 40dB; inputting the processed real-time production data into the initial digital twin model constructed in step S1, and continuously correcting the parameter values in the model through the Bayesian parameter estimation method, including correcting the resin rheological index n value from 0.35 to 0.32, the activation energy Ea from 40kJ / mol to 38.5kJ / mol, and the interfacial heat transfer coefficient from 1200 adjusted to 1350 ; after 100 times of iterative optimization, the average error between the model prediction value and the measured value is reduced from 5% to 2.5%, and the update of the digital twin model is completed.
[0015] Step S3: Based on the digital twin model, perform melt ultrasonic-assisted homogenization and biaxial stretching process simulation, and use the simulation results for optimization analysis to generate optimized process parameters; In the embodiments of the present invention, based on a complete digital twin model, the ultrasonic-assisted homogenization parameter range is first set. The frequency is fixed at 20 kHz, and 5 levels are set at intervals of 5 μm for the amplitude between 10 μm and 30 μm, 5 levels are set at intervals of 100 W for the power between 800 W and 1200 W, and 5 levels are set at intervals of 0.5 s for the processing time between 0.5 s and 2.5 s. Subsequently, the biaxial stretching parameter range is set. 5 levels are set at intervals of 0.5 for the longitudinal stretching ratio between 3.0 and 5.0, 5 levels are set at intervals of 0.5 for the transverse stretching ratio between 3.0 and 5.0, 5 levels are set at intervals of 5 °C for the longitudinal stretching temperature between 95 °C and 115 °C, 5 levels are set at intervals of 5 °C for the transverse stretching temperature between 120 °C and 140 °C, 5 levels are set at intervals of 10 m / min for the longitudinal stretching rate between 50 m / min and 90 m / min, and 5 levels are set at intervals of 10 m / min for the transverse stretching rate between 40 m / min and 80 m / min. The orthogonal experimental design method DOE is used to determine 125 groups of key process parameter combinations for simulation. Melt rheology numerical simulation is performed for each group of parameter combinations to calculate the melt stress distribution, molecular orientation degree, and temperature field distribution under the action of ultrasonic waves. The simulation grid is divided into 100,000 units, the time step is 0.01 s, and the SIMPLE algorithm is used as the solver. At the same time, finite element analysis of the biaxial stretching film-forming process is performed to simulate and calculate the tensile stress distribution, strain field distribution, and molecular chain orientation distribution. The hyperelastic Neo-Hookean constitutive model is used to describe the material deformation behavior. For each group of simulation results, key quality indicators are extracted, including the thickness uniformity deviation value ≤0.002 mm, tensile strength ≥120 MPa, elongation at break ≥350%, the thermal shrinkage rate S is in the range of 60% ± 5%, haze H ≤ 1.5%, light transmittance T ≥ 90%. The response surface method RSM is used to establish the mapping relationship between process parameters and quality indicators, and parameter sensitivity analysis is performed through the neural network algorithm. The optimal parameter combination is determined as: ultrasonic amplitude 20 μm, power 1000 W, processing time 1.5 s, longitudinal stretching ratio 4.0, longitudinal stretching temperature 105 °C, longitudinal stretching rate 70 m / min, transverse stretching ratio 4.0, transverse stretching temperature 130 °C, transverse stretching rate 60 m / min, and the final optimized process parameter table is generated accordingly.
[0016] Step S4: Adjust the actual production process parameters based on the optimized process parameters, and perform ultrasonic-assisted homogenization treatment, extrusion molding, biaxial stretching, and heat setting on the melt to obtain the actual product parameters; In the embodiment of the present invention, based on optimized process parameters, the process parameters of the heat shrinkable film production line are first adjusted by a PLC control system. The adjustment contents include setting the temperature of the first section of the extruder to 175±2°C, the temperature of the second section to 195±2°C, the temperature of the third section to 205±2°C, the temperature of the fourth section to 215±2°C, the screw speed to 50±1 rpm, and the die head temperature to 220±2°C; then an ultrasonic-assisted homogenization device is installed between the extruder and the die head, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator is set to 20 kHz, the amplitude is 20 μm, the power is 1000 W, the treatment time is 1.5 s, and the ultrasonic transducer is in direct contact with the melt. At this time, the melt temperature is 210±3°C; then the melt after ultrasonic treatment is extruded and formed through a T-die, the thickness of the extruded film is controlled within 300±10 μm, and the extrusion speed is controlled within 30±1 m / min; the extruded film is longitudinally stretched through an MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) device, the preheating temperature is set to 95±2°C, the stretching temperature is set to 105±2°C, the stretching ratio is set to 4.0, and the stretching rate is set to 70 m / min; the film after longitudinal stretching is cooled to 60±2°C through a transition section, and then enters a TDO (Transverse Direction Orientation) device for transverse stretching, the preheating temperature is set to 120±2°C, the stretching temperature is set to 130±2°C, the stretching ratio is set to 4.0, and the stretching rate is set to 60 m / min; the film after biaxial stretching enters a heat setting device, the setting temperature is set to 140±2°C, and the setting time is set to 5±0.2 s; finally, it is cooled to room temperature through a cooling roll, the temperature of the cooling roll is set to 25±1°C, and the cooling time is set to 3±0.2 s; the winding speed is set to 120±2 m / min, and the winding tension is set to 50±2 N, thereby obtaining a heat shrinkable film with a thickness of 15±0.5 μm and a width of 1500±5 mm. The measured actual product parameters include a thickness uniformity deviation value of 0.001 mm, a tensile strength of 125 MPa, an elongation at break of 380%, a heat shrinkage rate of 62%, a haze of 1.2%, and a light transmittance of 92%.
[0017] Step S5: Perform performance detection and quality evaluation on the actual product parameters to obtain a quality characteristic evaluation report; In the embodiment of the present invention, the actual product parameters are measured for thickness uniformity by a thickness laser gauge through three consecutive scans at five fixed positions with a 10-cm lateral interval on the film material. The longitudinal and lateral tensile strengths and elongation at break are tested using a universal material testing machine in accordance with ASTM D882 standard at 23°C. The longitudinal and lateral thermal shrinkage rates are measured after soaking in a 100°C constant-temperature oil bath for 30 seconds using a thermal shrinkage rate tester. The oxygen transmission rate is detected using a differential pressure gas permeation meter at a differential pressure of 0.1 MPa. The optical haze is measured using a haze meter according to GB / T 2410. The above measured data are input into a quality assessment system and compared with the preset standard parameters. Among them, the absolute value of the thickness deviation exceeding ±2 μm, the longitudinal tensile strength below 50 MPa or the lateral tensile strength below 45 MPa, the longitudinal thermal shrinkage rate below 70% or the lateral thermal shrinkage rate below 65%, and the oxygen transmission rate exceeding 150 and the haze exceeding 3% are all marked as non-conforming items; a quality characteristic assessment report including the measured values, standard thresholds, deviation percentages, and problem location coordinates of each detection item is generated.
[0018] Step S6: Design a process optimization plan based on the quality characteristic assessment report, and use the process optimization plan to control the production process optimization to obtain the optimal production process parameters.
[0019] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the non-conforming items marked in the quality characteristic assessment report and the associated process parameter data, the process optimization analysis system extracts the screw speed and die lip opening records corresponding to the extrusion molding stage with a thickness deviation exceeding ±2 μm, the longitudinal stretching ratio and transverse stretching temperature data corresponding to the insufficient thermal shrinkage rate in the biaxial stretching stage, and the ultrasonic-assisted homogenization treatment time and melt pressure curve corresponding to the excessive oxygen transmission rate. The multi-variable orthogonal experimental method is used to design an optimization strategy. The power of the ultrasonic generator is adjusted to 2000 W, and the homogenization time is increased by 5 seconds to reduce the melt density fluctuation. The temperature zones of the extruder are set to 180°C / 185°C / 190°C / 190°C / 185°C to improve the thickness uniformity. The biaxial stretching ratio is increased from 3.0×3.0 to 3.2×3.1, and the longitudinal preheating roller temperature is controlled at 85°C and the transverse stretching roller temperature is controlled at 88°C. The melt flow and crystallinity are simulated by loading the optimized parameters through a digital twin model. If the simulated longitudinal thermal shrinkage rate reaches 72% and the transverse thermal shrinkage rate reaches 68% and the thickness fluctuation range is less than ±1.5 μm, the optimized parameter package is sent to the production line PLC controller, triggering the adjustment of the extruder screw speed from 45 rpm to 48 rpm, the calibration of the die lip opening from 2.0 mm to 1.95 mm, and the synchronous increase of the stretching chain clip speed by 2%. After the parameter update, three consecutive production batches are verified. If all the batch detection data meet the preset standards in step S5, the current parameters are locked as the optimal production process parameters and written into the process database.
[0020] The present invention realizes the accurate prediction of the melt rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and heat shrinkage performance by obtaining the resin characteristic parameters of the heat shrinkable film raw material and constructing an initial digital twin model, providing basic data support for the subsequent optimization of process parameters. The production data is collected in real time and the digital twin model is updated, enabling the process control to adapt to the differences in raw material batches and the changes in equipment operating conditions, and improving the stability of the production process. Based on the complete digital twin model, the melt ultrasonic-assisted homogenization and biaxial stretching process are simulated, making the control of melt uniformity more precise, optimizing the shear rate distribution and molecular chain orientation degree, improving the mechanical properties and optical properties of the film material. At the same time, through the optimization analysis of the simulation results, the generated optimized process parameters can effectively guide the production process. Based on the optimized process parameters, the actual production process parameters are adjusted, enabling the ultrasonic-assisted homogenization treatment, extrusion molding, biaxial stretching, and heat setting processes to be finely controlled, avoiding the uncertainty brought by traditional experience-based adjustments, and improving the film thickness uniformity, orientation uniformity, and heat setting dimensional stability. The performance of the actual product parameters is detected and quality evaluated, making the quality data of the produced heat shrinkable film quantifiable, ensuring that the thickness deviation, tensile strength, heat shrinkage rate, and optical properties all meet the set standards, and providing production process quality feedback through the quality characteristic evaluation report. Based on the quality characteristic evaluation report, a process optimization plan is designed, and the production process is optimized and controlled using the process optimization plan, making the process parameter adjustment targeted. Through the precise optimization of the ultrasonic power, extrusion temperature, draw ratio, and heat setting temperature, the consistency and stability of the product are further improved, thus ensuring that the finally produced heat shrinkable film meets the high-standard requirements for mechanical properties, optical properties, and heat shrinkage performance.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present invention, the molecular weight distribution characteristic parameters of the resin are measured by a gel permeation chromatograph at a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min and a column temperature of 40 °C in a tetrahydrofuran mobile phase, and the weight average molecular weight Mw and the dispersity D are output; a differential scanning calorimeter DSC Q200 is used to scan the range from -50 °C to 200 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain the melting peak temperature Tm and the crystallinity Xc. The Xc is input into the finite element analysis software ANSYS Polyflow to set the drawing rate of 2.5 m / s and the temperature gradient of 85 - 110 °C for the biaxial drawing molecular orientation simulation, and a biaxial drawing digital module containing the molecular chain orientation angle distribution is generated; a capillary rheometer RH7 is used to test the viscosity curve in the range of shear rates from 100 to 1000 within the range. Based on the Power-law equation, the flow index n = 0.32 is fitted, and a mathematical relationship between the melt viscosity attenuation rate and the homogenization time is established by combining the parameters of the ultrasonic generator frequency of 28 kHz and the amplitude of 15 μm, and written into the ultrasonic melt homogenization digital module; a thermogravimetric analyzer TGA 550 is used to heat up to 600 °C at a rate of 20 °C / min in an air atmosphere, and the 5% thermal weight loss temperature Td5% = 385 °C is recorded. This parameter is imported into ANSYS Fluent to set the screw speed of 45 rpm and the die head temperature of 190 °C to simulate the coupling relationship between the shear rate distribution and the temperature field of the melt in the runner, and an extrusion molding digital module is output; based on the molecular weight distribution parameter Mw = 120,000 and the Td5% data, a polyethylene molecular chain model is constructed using Materials Studio software, and the curve of the change in the molecular chain folding energy barrier during the heat setting stage at 180 °C is calculated under the COMPASS force field to generate a heat setting digital module; the above Mw, Xc, n, Td5% parameters and the four digital modules are transmitted to the TwinBuilder platform through the OPC UA protocol, and a dynamic mapping relationship between the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration unit and the melt viscosity, an association rule between the temperature zones of the extruder and the runner shear rate, and a feedback logic between the speed of the drawing roll and the molecular orientation angle are established in the three-dimensional production line model to complete the construction of the initial digital twin model.
[0024] By measuring the molecular weight distribution of the raw materials of the heat-shrinkable film, the present invention can accurately characterize the distribution of polymer chain lengths, providing basic data support for subsequent melt rheological property analysis and mechanical property prediction. The crystallization characteristic parameters obtained by differential scanning calorimetry for crystallinity make the simulation of the molecular chain orientation behavior during the biaxial stretching process more accurate, ensuring the reliability of the stretching process optimization.
