Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pultrusion, and in particular to a pultrusion creel tension automatic control method, computer equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The pultrusion creel is the first piece of equipment in the entire pultrusion production line. It holds several carbon fiber bobbins, which are passively unwound by the main machine. As the bobbin diameter changes, the yarn tension on the die at each unwinding end increases. This dramatic change in creel tension can affect the stability of the creel's movement, leading to uncontrollable quality issues in the pultruded product.

[0003] Conventional technology adjusts tension through mechanical linkages and elastic damping mechanisms. Each creel layer has a mechanical linkage, and each unwinding section on each layer has an elastic damping mechanism connected to the mechanical linkage. All mechanical linkages are connected to the rear of the creel and controlled together. This adjusts the unwinding tension by varying the friction applied by the elastic damping mechanism on each unwinding section during unwinding. However, manual intervention is required during creel operation, with workers adjusting the tension at regular intervals based on the length of the unwinding section. This does not guarantee uniform tension or consistency throughout the unwinding process.

[0004] In view of the existence of the above problems, the designer, based on many years of rich practical experience and professional knowledge in the engineering application of this type of product, and in conjunction with the application of theory, actively conducts research and innovation, in order to create a pultrusion yarn frame tension automatic control method, computer equipment and storage medium to make it more practical.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to deepen the understanding of the overall background technology of the present invention and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a pultrusion creel tension automatic control method, computer equipment and storage medium, thereby effectively solving the problems in the background technology.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for automatically controlling the tension of a pultrusion creel, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Measure the yarn tension when the bobbin is full and empty, and measure the relationship between the friction resistance of the damping mechanism on the bobbin and the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod;

[0009] According to the unwinding torque and the friction torque of the damping mechanism, the displacement of the mechanical link when the roll is full and empty is determined when the tension remains unchanged.

[0010] Measure the total thickness of the yarn on the full bobbin and measure the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin during unwinding;

[0011] The real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod is calculated by establishing a negatively correlated linear function among the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod, the ratio of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the yarn bobbin to the total thickness during unwinding, and the difference between the displacement amounts of the mechanical connecting rod when the yarn is fully wound and when the yarn is empty.

[0012] The displacement of the mechanical connecting rod is adjusted in real time according to the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, when determining the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the winding is full and empty respectively when the tension is constant, the frictional resistance of the damping mechanism to the yarn bobbin when the tension is constant is first calculated:

[0014]

[0015] Among them, F is the friction resistance generated by the damping mechanism and the side wall of the yarn tube, L is the radius of the side wall of the yarn tube, T is the tension on the yarn, and r is the diameter of the real-time winding diameter on the yarn tube. The displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the winding is full and empty is calculated based on the linear relationship between the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod and the friction resistance of the damping mechanism on the yarn tube.

[0016] Furthermore, in the measurement of the total thickness of the yarn on the fully wound bobbin, the diameter R0 of the yarn bobbin when empty is measured first, and then the diameter R1 of the yarn bobbin when fully wound is measured. The total thickness Y0 of the yarn on the fully wound bobbin is:

[0017]

[0018] Furthermore, in the measurement of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin, the diameter R0 of the yarn bobbin when it is empty is first measured, and the real-time winding diameter r of the yarn bobbin is measured when it is unwound. The real-time thickness y of the yarn on the bobbin is:

[0019]

[0020] Furthermore, when the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod is calculated, the real-time adjustment amount x of the mechanical connecting rod is:

[0021]

[0022] Among them, x1 is the displacement of the mechanical link when it is empty, and x0 is the displacement of the mechanical link when it is fully wound.

[0023] Furthermore, when the displacement of the mechanical link is adjusted in real time according to the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical link, a threshold range is set for the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical link. When the displacement of the mechanical link exceeds the displacement range corresponding to the real-time adjustment amount threshold range, the displacement of the mechanical link is adjusted.

[0024] The present invention also includes a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the above method when executing the computer program.

[0025] The present invention also includes a storage medium storing a computer program, which implements the above method when executed by a processor.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention measures the tension on the yarn when the bobbin is fully wound and empty, and determines the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the tension remains unchanged according to the change in tension and the friction torque generated by the damping mechanism on the bobbin. Then, through the relationship between the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin and the total thickness during unwinding, a negative linear correlation function with the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod as the variable is established, wherein the ratio of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin to the total thickness and the ratio of the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod to the difference between the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when fully wound and empty are negatively linearly correlated. Therefore, during the unwinding process, the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod is determined according to the real-time thickness of the yarn, thereby adjusting the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod in real time to ensure the consistency and stability of the yarn unwinding tension. On the one hand, it reduces tension fluctuations and improves the quality of pultruded products. On the other hand, it improves the level of automation, reduces labor costs, and can be applied to bobbins of different specifications, thereby increasing versatility.

For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0029] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the computer device in this embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown: A method for automatically controlling the tension of a pultrusion creel comprises the following steps:

[0032] Measure the yarn tension when the bobbin is full and empty, and measure the relationship between the friction resistance of the damping mechanism on the bobbin and the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod;

[0033] According to the unwinding torque and the friction torque of the damping mechanism, the displacement of the mechanical link when the roll is full and empty is determined when the tension remains unchanged.

[0034] Measure the total thickness of the yarn on the full bobbin and measure the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin during unwinding;

[0035] The real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod is calculated by establishing a negatively correlated linear function among the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod, the ratio of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the yarn bobbin to the total thickness during unwinding, and the difference between the displacement amounts of the mechanical connecting rod when the yarn is fully wound and when the yarn is empty.

[0036] The displacement of the mechanical connecting rod is adjusted in real time according to the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod.

[0037] By measuring the tension on the yarn when the bobbin is full and empty, and according to the change in tension and the friction torque generated by the damping mechanism on the bobbin, the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the bobbin is full and empty is determined respectively when the tension remains unchanged. Then, through the relationship between the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin and the total thickness during unwinding, a negative linear correlation function with the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod as the variable is established, wherein the ratio of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin to the total thickness and the ratio of the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod to the difference between the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when full and empty are negatively linearly correlated. Therefore, during the unwinding process, the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod is determined according to the real-time thickness of the yarn, thereby adjusting the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod in real time to ensure the consistency and stability of the yarn unwinding tension. On the one hand, it reduces tension fluctuations and improves the quality of pultruded products. On the other hand, it improves the level of automation, reduces labor costs, and can be applied to bobbins of different specifications, increasing versatility.

[0038] In this embodiment, when determining the displacement of the mechanical link when the yarn is full and empty, the frictional resistance of the damping mechanism on the yarn bobbin when the tension is constant is first calculated:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, F is the friction resistance generated by the damping mechanism and the side wall of the yarn tube, L is the radius of the side wall of the yarn tube, T is the tension on the yarn, and r is the diameter of the real-time winding diameter on the yarn tube. The displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the winding is full and empty is calculated based on the linear relationship between the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod and the friction resistance of the damping mechanism on the yarn tube.

[0041] During the unwinding process, the yarn bobbin can be considered to be in a balanced state. At this time, the unwinding torque is balanced with the friction torque of the damping mechanism. Therefore, if the tension on the yarn is to be kept consistent, the parameter T can be regarded as a constant. At this time, the real-time winding diameter on the yarn bobbin is proportional to the friction resistance, and the friction resistance of the damping mechanism is also proportional to the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod. Therefore, after setting the tension value on the yarn, the tension value is guaranteed to be the set value when the roll is full. After setting the relevant parameters of the damping mechanism and the mechanical connecting rod, the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod when the roll is empty can be calculated.

[0042] Among them, when measuring the total thickness of the yarn on a fully wound bobbin, the diameter R0 of the yarn bobbin when empty is measured first, and then the diameter R1 of the yarn bobbin when fully wound is measured. The total thickness Y0 of the yarn on the fully wound bobbin is:

[0043]

[0044] When measuring the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin, first measure the diameter R0 of the yarn bobbin when it is empty, and then measure the real-time diameter r of the yarn bobbin when it is unwinding. The real-time thickness y of the yarn on the bobbin is:

[0045]

[0046] Finally, according to the negative linear correlation between the ratio of the real-time thickness of the yarn on the bobbin to the total thickness during unwinding and the ratio of the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical link to the difference between the displacement of the mechanical link between the full roll and the empty roll, the real-time adjustment amount x of the mechanical link is:

[0047]

[0048] Among them, x1 is the displacement of the mechanical link when it is empty, and x0 is the displacement of the mechanical link when it is fully wound.

[0049] During the unwinding process, the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod can be calculated by simply measuring the real-time coil diameter r, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the above, when the displacement of the mechanical link is adjusted in real time according to the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical link, a threshold range is set for the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical link. When the displacement of the mechanical link exceeds the displacement range corresponding to the real-time adjustment amount threshold range, the displacement of the mechanical link is adjusted.

[0051] Since the yarn bobbin is not a completely regular cylinder in the actual working process, when measuring the real-time winding diameter of the yarn bobbin, the real-time winding diameter may swing back and forth around the mean. At this time, if the displacement is adjusted directly according to the adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod, the mechanical connecting rod will also move back and forth repeatedly, resulting in system instability and large tension fluctuations. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize it and set a threshold range for the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod. If the real-time winding diameter fluctuates back and forth within a range, it will not cause the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod to be adjusted. Only when it exceeds this range will the displacement of the mechanical connecting rod be adjusted, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the system and increasing the stability of the tension. This threshold range will change according to the change of the real-time adjustment amount of the mechanical connecting rod.
