Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite material manufacturing, and in particular relates to a vacuum introduction cycle extrusion pressure control device and method based on a double-layer linear algorithm. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum infusion is a composite material manufacturing process widely used in wind power, marine, aviation, and other fields. The process controls vacuum pressure to ensure a uniform flow of resin into a fiber preform. Once the resin solidifies, the resulting composite product is obtained. Therefore, pressure control is a key technology in vacuum infusion.
[0003] In recent years, researchers have developed a cyclic extrusion vacuum infusion process to improve the fiber volume content and mechanical properties of composite products. This process, which repeatedly varies the vacuum pressure before injection, cyclically extrudes the reinforcement material, effectively reducing porosity and increasing the fiber volume fraction. However, this cyclic extrusion process places higher demands on the precision and stability of pressure control.
[0004] In traditional vacuum infusion processes, pressure control relies primarily on manually adjusting vacuum valves and using mechanical vacuum regulators, making it difficult to achieve precise pressure control and stable compaction rate control. Specifically, these issues exist: 1. Traditional pressure control methods have low precision and cannot achieve precise control at the 0.1 kPa level, resulting in unstable quality of composite products. 2. The compaction rate cannot be precisely controlled, making it difficult to maintain a stable compaction rate during the cyclic extrusion process, which affects the fiber volume fraction. 3. The pressure control system has a low level of integration, making it difficult to apply to industrial production. 4. Existing control systems cannot adapt to the impact of atmospheric pressure changes on the compaction rate, and control accuracy fluctuates with changing environmental conditions.
[0005] Existing technologies, such as CN 115056509 A, "A Method for Manufacturing Composite Materials Using a Vacuum Infusion Process," and CN 100548644C, "Controlled Atmospheric Pressure Resin Infusion Method," describe a pressure-controlled vacuum infusion method but fail to elaborate on the integrated design of the pressure control device and the automated control method. Related literature, such as [Wang et al., "An Automated Vacuum Infusion Process for Manufacturing High-Quality Fiber-Reinforced Composites," 2023], describes an automated vacuum infusion workstation but does not provide a specific pressure control solution. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention aims to address the technical challenges of achieving high-precision pressure control and adjustable compaction rate control in vacuum infusion processes, specifically addressing the inability of existing control systems to adapt to the impact of atmospheric pressure variations on compaction rate control accuracy. To this end, the present invention provides a vacuum infusion cyclic extrusion pressure control device and method based on a double-layer linear algorithm. This double-layer linear control algorithm achieves adaptive control within the atmospheric pressure range, ensuring precise compaction rate control.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A vacuum induction cycle extrusion pressure control device based on a double-layer linear algorithm includes two independent hardware systems, a dual-pipeline control system and a pressure control box; the two independent hardware systems include a filling barrel system and a resin collector system, the filling barrel system and the resin collector system are respectively controlled by the dual-pipeline control system, and the pressure control box controls the two independent hardware systems and the dual-pipeline control system.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a vacuum introduction cycle extrusion pressure control device based on a double-layer linear algorithm, including two sets of independent hardware systems, a dual-pipeline control system and a pressure control box 201; the two sets of independent hardware systems include a filling barrel system and a resin collector system, and the filling barrel system and the resin collector system are respectively controlled by the dual-pipeline control system, and the pressure control box 201 controls the two sets of independent hardware systems and the dual-pipeline control system.
[0030] The filling barrel system includes a 10L stainless steel container filling barrel 219, a vacuum pump 217 (flow rate 4.8m³ / h, final pressure 0.2kPa), and an absolute pressure sensor 220 (accuracy ±0.1kPa).

Resin trap system: includes a 2L stainless steel container resin trap 226, a vacuum pump 211 (flow rate 4.8m³ / h, final pressure 0.2kPa), and an absolute pressure sensor 227 (accuracy ±0.1kPa). The resin trap 226 and the vacuum pump 211 are connected by a dual-pipeline control system, and the absolute pressure sensor 227 is installed in the resin trap 227. Since the lowest output vacuum pressure of commercially available vacuum proportional valves is usually -80 kPa, while atmospheric pressure is approximately 100 kPa, resin degassing is usually performed at an absolute pressure of 0.5 kPa or below. Therefore, vacuum proportional valves alone cannot meet the process requirements of vacuum infusion. The injection pressure and the discharge pressure are each controlled by two vacuum lines: Dual-line control system, including two independent vacuum lines: The first line is equipped with a vacuum solenoid valve and a vacuum proportional valve to control the pressure range from atmospheric pressure to 79 kPa below atmospheric pressure; The second line is equipped with a vacuum solenoid valve, which works in conjunction with the first line to control the pressure range from 79 kPa below atmospheric pressure to 0.5 kPa absolute pressure; The dual-pipeline control system between the injection barrel 219 and the vacuum pump 217 is: The air pipe of the filling barrel 219 is connected to the pneumatic three-way connector 1 212 in the pressure control box 201 through the pneumatic partition connector 109 on the pressure control box 201, and the first pipeline and the second pipeline are respectively connected between the pneumatic three-way connector 212 and the pneumatic three-way connector 216; the first pipeline is equipped with a vacuum solenoid valve 1 213 and a vacuum proportional valve 1 214, and the second pipeline is equipped with a vacuum solenoid valve 215, and the pneumatic three-way connector 216 is connected to the vacuum pump 1 217 through the pneumatic partition connector 2 111 on the pressure control box 201.

[0033] The pressure control box 201 is provided with a controller 204, a solid-state relay module 205, a 24V switching power supply 203, a standardized interface, two vacuum proportional valves and four vacuum solenoid valves; wherein, The two vacuum proportional valves are vacuum proportional valve 208 and vacuum proportional valve 1 214: the output pressure range is -80kPa to 0kPa, and the accuracy is ±0.5kPa; The four vacuum solenoid valves are vacuum solenoid valve 3 207, vacuum solenoid valve 4 209, vacuum solenoid valve 1 213, and vacuum solenoid valve 2 215: normally closed, with a response time of ≤50ms; Solid-state relay module 205: 4-way module, controls four solenoid valve switches; 24V switching power supply 203: output power 120W, connected to the terminal block 202, controller 204, and solid-state relay module 205; Controller 204: PLC or FPGA controller, with 16 digital outputs and 8 analog outputs; connected to solid-state relay module 205 and two vacuum proportional valves.

[0035] The present invention provides a vacuum introduction cycle extrusion pressure control method based on a double-layer linear algorithm, including a pressure control method and a compaction rate control method; The compaction rate control method is as follows: in the cyclic extrusion process, the compaction rate is precisely controlled by adjusting the opening ratio of the vacuum solenoid valve of the second pipeline of the control device, and a double-layer linear algorithm is used; The pressure control method adopts segmented pressure control, including high-pressure segment control and low-pressure segment control, which is controlled by the first pipeline of the control device or controlled by two pipelines together.
[0036] High pressure section control (atmospheric pressure to 79 kPa below atmospheric pressure), When the pressure setting value is from atmospheric pressure to 79 kPa below atmospheric pressure, the pressure is controlled by the first pipeline of the control device, and the vacuum solenoid valve of the second pipeline is normally closed. The control signal consists of a 0-5V analog signal sent to the vacuum proportional valve, generated by a PID controller with parameters: proportional gain Kc = 0.035, integral time Ti = 0.07, and derivative time Td = 0. The theoretical relationship between output pressure and input signal is: y = (x / 80) × 5, where x is the atmospheric pressure minus the target pressure, and y is the theoretical value of the input control signal. The control signal range is limited to an absolute deviation of 0.1 V from the theoretical value; if it exceeds this range, it is set to 5 V or 0 V.
[0037] A 0 / 5 V analog signal is sent to solid-state relay module 205 to control the opening and closing of the vacuum solenoid valve. When the absolute difference between the measured pressure and the set pressure is greater than 0.5 kPa, the vacuum solenoid valve is normally open; otherwise, it opens for 0.5 seconds per second. Specifically, when the pressure set point is between atmospheric pressure and 1 kPa below atmospheric pressure, the vacuum proportional valve input signal is 0 V, and the vacuum solenoid valve is normally open.
[0038] Low pressure section control (79 kPa to 0.5 kPa below atmospheric pressure): When the pressure setting value is 79 kPa below atmospheric pressure to 0.5 kPa absolute pressure, the pressure is controlled by two pipelines. The control method is: The input signal of the vacuum proportional valve is set to a fixed value: 5 V when the pressure setting value is less than 17 kPa, otherwise it is 4.5 V.
[0039] The opening ratio of the vacuum solenoid valve is determined by the real-time measured pressure: When the measured value exceeds the set value, the solenoid valve in the first line is closed, while the solenoid valve in the second line is periodically opened. If the measured value exceeds the set value by a certain amount (pressure setting value / 0.8, rounded to one decimal place), the solenoid valve in the second line is opened. Otherwise, the opening ratio is y = max(0.05, min(1, (25-x) / 22)), where x is the pressure setting value and y is the opening ratio, rounded to three decimal places. The solenoid valve opens at this ratio every two seconds.
[0040] When the measured value is less than the set value, the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is normally closed, and the solenoid valve of the first pipeline is opened according to y = max(0.05, min(0.5, 0.05 + 0.0225(x-5))). The solenoid valve is opened once every two seconds according to this ratio.
[0041] When the measured value is equal to the set value, the solenoid valve of the first pipeline is closed and the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is opened at a ratio of 0.05.
[0042] For the three solenoid valve opening ratios in these three situations, the ratios are corrected based on the past three pressure measurements: When the measured value is greater than the set value, if the opening ratio is too high (i.e., the pressure measurement is lower than the set value after adjustment), the set value is reduced by 0.01 each time, with a minimum of 0.05. When the measured value is less than the set value, if the opening ratio is too high (i.e., the pressure measurement is higher than the set value after adjustment), the set value is reduced by 0.01 each time, with a minimum of 0.05. When the measured value is equal to the set value, if the opening ratio is too high (i.e., the pressure measurement is lower than the set value after adjustment), the set value is reduced to 0.05 seconds per n seconds, with n gradually increasing. If the opening ratio is too low (i.e., the pressure measurement is higher than the set value after adjustment), the opening ratio is increased by 0.01 each time, with a maximum of 1.
[0043] During the cyclic extrusion process, precise control of the compaction rate is achieved by adjusting the opening ratio of the vacuum solenoid valve in the second pipeline. The compaction rate is defined as the difference between the maximum compaction pressure and the minimum compaction pressure divided by the compaction duration, that is, R = (Pmax−Pmin) / tcompacted. The maximum compaction pressure is 97.6 kPa, and the minimum compaction pressure is 0 kPa. It should be noted that the minimum atmospheric pressure measured in the inventor's location is 98 kPa. To improve the repeatability of the cyclic extrusion, the maximum compaction pressure is set to a fixed value, that is, 0.4 kPa lower than the minimum atmospheric pressure.
[0044] In the following vacuum system, the vacuum valve opening ratio corresponding to different compaction rates at three atmospheric pressures was measured: Piping system specifications: Injection hose: outer diameter 6mm, inner diameter 4mm, polyurethane material Outlet hose: outer diameter 6mm, inner diameter 4mm, polyurethane material Other pneumatic pipes: outer diameter 10mm, inner diameter 6.5mm, polyurethane material All pipe connections use quick-connect connectors to ensure sealing performance Vacuum pump specifications: Flow rate: 4.8 m^3 / h, final pressure: 0.2 kPa.
[0045] Table 1: Comparison of compaction rate and solenoid valve opening ratio under different atmospheric pressures
[0046] The present invention adopts a double-layer linear algorithm to achieve precise control of the compaction rate: the first layer is the atmospheric pressure-opening ratio linear regression under each compaction rate; the second layer is the linear interpolation between different compaction rates.
[0047] First layer: Compaction rate regression line is established. For each standard compaction rate value, the atmospheric pressure-opening ratio regression equation is established: For each compaction rate value in Table 1, a linear regression is performed using the opening ratio data under three atmospheric pressure conditions to establish a control line for that compaction rate: f_i = a_i P_atm + b_i Among them, f_i is the opening ratio under the compaction rate R_i, P_atm is the current atmospheric pressure, and a_i and b_i are regression coefficients.

The vacuum induction cycle extrusion pressure control method based on a double-layer linear algorithm according to claim 7, characterized in that: In the dual solenoid valve coordinated control, the opening ratio of the vacuum solenoid valve is determined by the real-time measured pressure: When the measured value is greater than the set value, the solenoid valve of the first pipeline is normally closed, and the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is periodically opened. If the measured value is higher than the set value by a certain value, the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is normally open; otherwise, the opening ratio is y = max(0.05, min(1,(25-x) / 22)), where x is the pressure set value and y is the opening ratio. The solenoid valve opens once every two seconds according to this ratio. When the measured value is less than the set value, the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is normally closed, and the solenoid valve of the first pipeline is opened according to y = max(0.05,min(0.5, 0.05 + 0.0225(x-5))). The solenoid valve opens once every two seconds according to this ratio; When the measured value is equal to the set value, the solenoid valve of the first pipeline is closed and the solenoid valve of the second pipeline is opened at a ratio of 0.05; For the three solenoid valve opening ratios in these three cases, the ratios are corrected based on the past three pressure measurement values: when the measurement value is greater than the set value, if the opening ratio is too high, that is, the pressure measurement value is lower than the set value after adjustment, then the set value is reduced by 0.01 each time, with a minimum value of 0.05; when the measurement value is less than the set value, if the opening ratio is too high, that is, the pressure measurement value is higher than the set value after adjustment, then the set value is reduced by 0.01 each time, with a minimum value of 0.

When the measured value is equal to the set value, if the opening ratio is too high, that is, the pressure measurement value is lower than the set value after adjustment, then reduce the set value and adjust it to open for 0.05 seconds every n seconds, and gradually increase n; if the opening ratio is too low, that is, the pressure measurement value is higher than the set value after adjustment, then increase the opening ratio, each time by 0.01, and the maximum value is 1.
