[0055] Embodiment 1

[0056] Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart of a foaming process optimization method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, this embodiment is applicable to situations where foaming defects need to be optimized. This method can be executed by a foaming process optimization device, such as Figure 1 shown, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0057] Step 110: After determining the root causes of the foaming defects and the action ratios of the respective root causes, determine the deep factors and the action ratios of the respective deep factors based on the hidden semi-Markov model.

[0058] Specifically, a foaming defect diagnosis is performed on the foaming process based on the data of the foaming process, and the root causes of the foaming defects and the action ratios of the respective root causes can be determined.

[0059] Among them, the data of the foaming process includes foaming data, gun head data, and production data. The foaming data includes environmental data and material data. The environmental data can include the data obtained by environmental sensors located in each link of the foaming process, specifically including: environmental temperature, environmental humidity, environmental air pressure, and product coding, etc. The material data can include the material sensing data obtained by material sensors located in each link of the foaming process, specifically including preheating time, predicted temperature, material environmental temperature, and foaming time, etc.; the material data can also include the material barcode data scanned by a mobile material barcode gun, specifically including material type and material number. The gun head data can be the gun head operation status data determined according to the gun head monitoring video collected by the image acquisition device located in each link of the foaming process. The gun head operation status data can be used to determine whether the foaming gun head is clean, so as to regularly remind the user to clean the foaming gun head. The production data can be the data generated by the production equipment during the foaming process of the refrigerator, and the production data can be obtained through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The production data can include the parameter data of key links related to the foaming process, such as foaming preparation, premixing, box preheating, and foaming agent injection, specifically including preheating process parameters, dry part (fixture) parameters, wet part (foaming machine) parameters, premixer parameters, and infrared quality inspection parameters.

[0060] Furthermore, based on the foaming data, gun head data, and production data, the root causes of the foaming defects and the action ratios of the respective root causes can be determined.

[0061] In practical applications, the root factors and the action ratios of each root factor can be used as the input information of the hidden semi-Markov model. After the hidden semi-Markov model processes the root factors and each root factor, the obtained output results include: the deep factors causing the root factors and the action ratios of each deep factor, as well as the root factors and the action ratios of each root factor.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the hidden semi-Markov model, the deep factors causing the foaming defects and the action ratios of each deep factor can be determined, so as to realize the excavation of the deep influencing factors of the foaming defects.

[0063] Step 120: Determine the recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors, and adjust the equipment parameters and raw material parameters according to the recommended values to optimize the foaming process.

[0064] Specifically, according to the data of the historical foaming process, the historical ranges and recent values of the root factors and the deep factors can be obtained. Of course, the allowable operation ranges of the root factors and the deep factors can also be obtained. Furthermore, according to the allowable operation range, historical range and recent value of the root factor, the recommended value of the root factor can be determined, and according to the allowable operation range, historical range and recent value of the deep factor, the recommended value of the deep factor can be determined. Of course, based on the recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors, the equipment parameters and raw material parameters of the foaming process can be adjusted to optimize the process, so as to reduce the bubble rate of the foam and improve the qualification rate of the refrigerator products.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, by optimizing the values of the root factors and the deep factors, the recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors can be determined. The recommended values can be used to adjust the equipment parameters and raw material parameters of the foaming process. Based on the adjustment of the equipment parameters and raw material parameters, the optimization of the foaming process can be realized.

[0066] A foaming process optimization method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes: after determining the root factors causing the foaming defects and the action ratios of each root factor, determining the deep factors and the action ratios of each deep factor based on the hidden semi-Markov model; determining the recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors, and adjusting the equipment parameters and raw material parameters according to the recommended values to optimize the foaming process. According to the above technical solution, the root factors causing the foaming defects and the action ratios of each root factor can be determined according to the data in the foaming process. Furthermore, the deep factors causing the root factors and the action ratios of each deep factor can be determined based on the hidden semi-Markov model. The recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors can also be determined according to the historical data. The recommended values can be used to adjust the equipment parameters and raw material parameters of the foaming process to realize the optimization of the foaming process, solve the problem of high foam bubble rate, and improve the qualification rate of the refrigerator products.

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] Figure 2 The flowchart of an optimized foaming process method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a specific implementation based on the above embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the method may further include:

[0069] Step 210: Determine the root causes of foaming defects and the proportion of the effects of each of the root causes.

[0070] In one implementation, step 210 may specifically include:

[0071] Obtain foaming data, gun head data, and production data during the foaming process; input the foaming data, the gun head data, and the production data as input data into a pre-trained foaming defect diagnosis model, so that the foaming defect diagnosis model combines the influencing factors affecting the foaming effect, determines the root causes of foaming defects based on a convolutional neural network, and determines the proportion of the effects corresponding to each of the root causes based on a Bayesian causal network.

[0072] Among them, the foaming defect diagnosis model includes a convolutional neural network and a Bayesian causal network, and is used to determine the root causes of foaming defects. Its input information can be data related to the foaming process, and the output information can be the root causes of foaming defects and the proportion of the effects of each root cause on foaming defects.

[0073] The influencing factors include wet end factors, dry end factors, premixing factors, raw material factors, preheating factors, and environmental factors. The wet end factors include gun head data and foaming gun data. The gun head data includes gun head pressure, gun head temperature, gun head cleaning status, and gun head replacement frequency. The foaming gun data includes foaming gun temperature, foaming gun pressure, and foaming gun flow rate. The dry end factors include fixture data, mandrel data, and curing time. The fixture data includes fixture top plate temperature and fixture side plate temperature. The mandrel data includes mandrel temperature. The premixing factors include premixing ratio. The raw material factors include free bubble density, water content, and viscosity. The prediction factors include oven temperature, waiting time, and cabinet temperature. The environmental factors include atmospheric pressure, humidity, and temperature.

[0074] Specifically, environmental sensors set at each link of the foaming process can obtain environmental data; material sensors set at each link of the foaming process can obtain material state data; a mobile material barcode gun can obtain material barcode data; an image acquisition device set around the gun head can obtain image data of the foaming gun head, and the running state data of the gun head can be determined according to the gun head monitoring video, so as to determine whether the foaming gun head is clean; the PLC can be connected to multiple production devices in the production process to obtain production data generated by each production device during the foaming process.

[0075] After inputting the foaming process data as input data into the foaming defect diagnosis model, the foaming defect diagnosis module can analyze and process the foaming process data in combination with the influencing factors affecting the foaming effect. First, the foaming process data can be input into a convolutional neural network to determine the root causes of the foaming defects. Then, the foaming process data and the root causes are input into a Bayesian causal network to determine the corresponding action ratios of each root cause based on Bayesian probability analysis. Finally, the root causes and the corresponding action ratios of each root cause are used as output data to output from the foaming defect diagnosis model.

[0076] In practical applications, the foaming process data can be input into the foaming defect diagnosis model as input data according to the date or batch to determine the root causes of the foaming defects corresponding to the corresponding date or batch.

[0077] It should be noted that within a preset time or preset batch, the defective product ratio can be determined based on the numbers of grade A, grade B, and grade C bubbles. Based on the defective product ratio, it can be determined whether there are foaming defects in the refrigerator. If there are foaming defects, the root causes of the foaming defects and the corresponding action ratios of each root cause are determined based on the foregoing steps; if there are no foaming defects, the refrigerator foaming process continues.

[0078] Furthermore, the foaming data includes the environmental data and material data of the foaming process. The material data includes the material state data and the material barcode data. Correspondingly, obtaining the foaming data, gun head data, and production data of the foaming process includes:

[0079] Determining the data collected by the environmental sensors at each link of the foaming process as the environmental data; determining the data collected by the material sensors at each link of the foaming process as the material state data; determining the data scanned by the mobile material barcode gun as the material barcode data; acquiring the gun head monitoring video based on the image acquisition device, and determining the gun head data according to the gun head monitoring video; acquiring the production data of the foaming process based on the programmable logic controller PLC.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present invention, the foaming process-related data can be obtained based on sensors, image acquisition devices, mobile material barcode guns, and PLCs. The obtained foaming process-related data can be used to analyze the root causes of foaming defects when there are foaming defects, providing a data basis for foaming defect diagnosis. The pre-trained foaming defect diagnosis model can be used to analyze and trace the foaming defects to determine the root causes of the foaming defects and the action ratios of each root cause on the foaming defects.

[0081] Step 220: Determine the deep factors and the action ratios of each of the deep factors based on the hidden semi-Markov model.

[0082] In one implementation, step 220 may specifically include:

[0083] Construct a hidden semi-Markov network based on the hidden semi-Markov model and the self-encoding neural network of multi-layer neurons; perform network training on the hidden semi-Markov network based on the training factors and the action ratios of the training factors, as well as the true deep factors corresponding to the training factors and the action ratios of the true deep factors, and calculate the loss function; perform network optimization based on the backpropagation algorithm until the loss function converges to obtain the hidden semi-Markov network; input the root factors and the action ratios of each root factor as input information into the hidden semi-Markov network, and the output information obtained is the deep factors and the action ratios of each deep factor, as well as the root factors and the action ratios of each root factor.

[0084] Specifically, the hidden semi-Markov model and the self-encoding neural network of multi-layer neurons can form a hidden semi-Markov network. In practical applications, the hidden semi-Markov network can be trained in the form of a self-encoding neural network of multi-layer neurons. Specifically, the hidden semi-Markov network can be trained based on the root factors and the action ratios of the root factors that cause foaming defects in the historical foaming process, as well as the deep factors that cause the root factors and the action ratios of the deep factors. The root factors are used as training factors, and the deep factors that cause the root factors are used as true deep factors. Input the training factors and the action ratios of the training factors as input information into the hidden semi-Markov network, and the output information obtained is the training deep factors and the action ratios of the training deep factors. Based on the training deep factors and the action ratios of the training deep factors, as well as the true deep factors and the action ratios of the true deep factors, the loss function can be determined. Furthermore, the hidden semi-Markov network can be optimized based on the backpropagation algorithm. When the loss function converges, the network hyperparameters can be determined, and then the hidden semi-Markov network can be obtained. The hidden semi-Markov network can be used to determine the root factors and the action ratios of the root factors that cause foaming defects, as well as the deep factors that cause the root factors and the action ratios of the deep factors.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, the exploration and excavation of the deep factors that cause foaming defects are realized, providing data support for process optimization.

[0086] Step 230, determine the recommended values of the root factors and the deep factors.

[0087] Among them, the storage device may store the allowable operation ranges, historical ranges, and recent values of the foaming data, gun head data, and production data involved in the foaming process.

[0088] In one implementation, step 230 may specifically include:

[0089] Determine the operating range, historical range, and recent value of the root factors and the deep factors; perform stochastic dynamic optimization and / or mixed integer optimization on the operating range, the historical range, and the recent value to determine the recommended value.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, according to the allowable operating range, historical range, and recent value of the root factors, the recommended value of the root factors can be determined, and according to the allowable operating range, historical range, and recent value of the deep factors, the recommended value of the deep factors can be determined.

[0091] Step 240: Determine the original defective product ratio of the original foaming process, and determine the original defective product rate according to the defective product ratio.

[0092] Specifically, after determining the action ratio corresponding to each root factor, a fishbone diagram can be determined according to the influencing factors and the influencing factors included in each influencing factor. Figure 3 A fishbone diagram for determining the defective product rate and defective product ratio in a foaming process optimization method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 3 shown. The defective product ratio caused by the foaming defect is deployed at the end of the fishbone diagram, which may specifically include the average number of Class A bubbles, the number of Class B bubbles, and the number of Class C bubbles. Furthermore, the defective product rate can be determined according to the number of Class A bubbles, the number of Class B bubbles, and the number of Class C bubbles.

[0093] In practical applications, the original defective product ratio of the original foaming process can be determined before optimizing the foaming process, and the original defective product rate can be determined according to the defective product ratio, that is, the original defective product ratio of the original foaming process is determined before step 260, and the original defective product rate is determined according to the defective product ratio, and the specific execution order of step 240 is not limited.

[0094] Step 250: Adjust the equipment parameters and raw material parameters according to the recommended value to optimize the foaming process.

[0095] Step 260: Determine the optimized defective product ratio of the foaming process for optimizing the foaming process, and determine the optimized defective product rate according to the optimized defective product ratio.

[0096] Specifically, after optimizing the foaming process, it is also possible to determine the optimized defective product ratio and the optimized defective product rate of the foaming process based on Figure 3 the fishbone diagram shown.

[0097] Step 270: Determine the optimization efficiency according to the original defective product rate and the optimized defective product rate.

[0098] Specifically, first, the difference between the original defective product rate and the optimized defective product rate can be determined, and the ratio of the difference to the original defective product rate is determined as the optimization efficiency.

[0099] A foam process optimization method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention includes: determining the root causes of foam defects and the action ratios of the root causes; determining the deep factors and the action ratios of the deep factors based on the hidden semi-Markov model; determining the recommended values of the root causes and the deep factors; determining the original defective product ratio of the original foam process and determining the original defective product rate according to the defective product ratio; adjusting the equipment parameters and raw material parameters according to the recommended values to optimize the foam process; determining the optimized defective product ratio of the foam process after optimizing the foam process and determining the optimized defective product rate according to the optimized defective product ratio; and determining the optimization efficiency according to the original defective product rate and the optimized defective product rate. According to the above technical solution, the root causes of foam defects and the action ratios of the root causes can be determined based on the data in the foam process. Furthermore, the deep factors causing the root causes and the action ratios of the deep factors can be determined based on the hidden semi-Markov model. The recommended values of the root causes and the deep factors can also be determined according to historical data. The recommended values can be used to adjust the equipment parameters and raw material parameters for the foam process to optimize the foam process, solve the problem of high foam bubble rate, and improve the qualified rate of refrigerator products.

[0100] In addition, the optimization efficiency is determined according to the original defective product rate before optimizing the foam process and the optimized defective product rate after optimizing the foam process, so that the optimization effect of the foam process is visualized in data.
