The following is an explanation through multiple examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] The material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing of the present application is applied to the production line control system of the aviation ring forging production line. The production line control system is used to control various equipment in the aviation ring forging production line. The aviation ring forging production line includes multiple logistics rollers, and each logistics roller is used to transport materials under different production nodes; in order to facilitate the explanation of the material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing of the present application, the aviation ring forging production line is first briefly introduced below.

[0054] On the whole, the aviation ring forging production line of the present application can be composed of six parts: a production line control system, a blank making area 10 , an auxiliary area 30 , a forming area 50 , a first logistics roller 70 , and a second logistics roller 90 .

[0055] Among them, the production line control system is a control system that can effectively control the production process of the production line. In the present application, the production line control system can, for example, be connected by communication with all equipment in the blank making area 10, the auxiliary area 30, and the molding area 50, thereby realizing the control and operation status monitoring of all equipment in the blank making area 10, the auxiliary area 30, and the molding area 50; for another example, the production line control system can be connected by communication with the controller of the first logistics roller 70, and realize the transfer of blanks between the blank making area 10 and the auxiliary area 30 by controlling the running direction and speed of the first logistics roller 70 (the blanks can be transferred from the blank making area 10 to the auxiliary area 30, or from the auxiliary area 30 to the blank making area 10. The specific transfer direction can be determined by the production line control system according to preset judgment conditions such as the blank state. The present application is for This is not limited); for another example, the production line control system can be connected to the controller of the second logistics roller 90 by communication, and by controlling the running direction, speed, etc. of the second logistics roller 90, it can realize the transfer of the billet between the auxiliary area 30 and the forming area 50 (the billet can be transferred from the forming area 50 to the auxiliary area 30, or from the auxiliary area 30 to the forming area 50. The specific transfer direction can be determined by the production line control system according to preset judgment conditions such as the billet state, and this application does not limit this); for another example, the production line control system can also realize the identification of feeding bars, the whole process status monitoring of the production line processing, the processing abnormality handling, or the expansion of the functions of the production line control system by adding relevant equipment to the aviation ring forging production line, etc. This application does not limit the specific functions of the production line control system.

[0056] It should be noted that the blanking area 10, the auxiliary area 30, and the forming area 50 in the present application are areas obtained by functionally dividing multiple devices on the aviation ring forging production line, and the functional areas are irrelevant to the specific equipment setting positions of the aviation ring forging production line. In a specific implementation, the equipment in multiple areas can be placed according to the production process of the production line without considering the functional areas divided above.

[0057] The following is a description of each device in the aviation ring forging production line of this application:

[0058] The logistics rollers (e.g., the first logistics rollers 70, the second logistics rollers 90, and the third logistics rollers 11) are transport equipment that utilizes the rotation of cylindrical rollers to transport rolled pieces. Through the transmission of the logistics rollers, the various processes of the production process can be interconnected, thereby realizing mechanized and automated operations. In the present application, the first logistics roller 70 realizes the transfer of billets between the billet making area 10 and the auxiliary area 30, the second logistics roller 90 realizes the transfer of billets between the auxiliary area 30 and the forming area 50, and the third logistics roller 11 realizes the loading of bar materials into the billet making area 10.

[0059] In a possible implementation, the third logistics roller may be located between the blank making area 10 and the bar stock area, so as to achieve bar transfer between the bar stock area and the blank making area 10 .

[0060] In a specific implementation, different types of logistics rollers can be selected according to different materials being transferred. For example, if the material transferred by the third logistics roller 11 is a bar, then the third logistics roller 11 can be, for example, a bar loader; in addition to transferring the bar, this bar loader can also realize bar position identification, bar batch lifting and transfer, bar material code identification and verification, transmission of material information and control signals, and transfer of erroneous bars. For another example, if the material transferred by the first logistics roller 70 and the second logistics roller is a billet, then the first logistics roller 70 and the second logistics roller 90 can be, for example, a special-shaped intermediate billet loader; in addition to transferring the billet, this special-shaped intermediate billet loader can also realize ring billet transfer, billet material code identification and verification, transmission of material information and control signals.

[0061] A forging robot (for example, the first forging robot 13, the second forging robot 51) is an auxiliary mechanical device for realizing material transfer. In the present application, the forging robot can realize functions such as clamping bar material / intermediate billet loading / unloading, bar material / intermediate billet logistics transportation, relay heating parameter issuance, and recording data of the material transfer process (including furnace loading position, material traceability, and logistics-related data, etc.). In actual implementation, the specific type of the forging robot can be determined according to the actual use scenario. For example, the forging robot can be a 7-axis linkage CNC robot with a maximum clamping tonnage of 1 ton, etc., and the present application does not limit this. It should be noted that the first forging robot 13 and the second forging robot 51 can use forging robots of the same type or model, or they can be forging robots of different types, and the present application does not limit this.

[0062] The press system 15 is a forming machine that forms by pressure. In a possible implementation, the press system 15 can realize bar upsetting, punching, closed punching ejection, leaking holes, and mold forming, record the data of the blank making process, and interlock interaction with the first forging robot. In actual implementation, the specific type of the press system 15 can be determined according to the actual use scenario. For example, the press system 15 can be a nominal press 6000t with three mobile stations and two sets of swing arms, which is not limited in this application.

[0063] A heating furnace (such as the first group of heating furnaces 17, the second group of heating furnaces 55, etc.) is a device dedicated to heating materials and workpieces. In the present application, the heating furnace can realize the functions of heating, heat preservation, and recording data of the heating process for the materials in the furnace (the first group of heating furnaces 17 for the bars in the blank making area, or the second group of heating furnaces 55 for the blanks in the forming area). In addition, the heating furnace can realize the loading / unloading of materials in the heating furnace by cooperating with the production line control system and the forging robot. In actual implementation, the specific type of the heating furnace can be determined according to the actual use scenario. For example, the heating furnace can be a heating furnace with an operating temperature of 750℃-1200℃, a uniformity of ±8℃, an effective area of ​​1500*2000*1000mm, etc., and this application does not limit this. It should be noted that the first group of heating furnaces 17 and the second group of heating furnaces 55 can use the same type or model of heating furnaces, or different types of heating furnaces, and this application does not limit this. It should also be noted that the first group of heating furnaces may include at least one heating furnace, and the second group of heating furnaces may include at least one heating furnace. According to actual use requirements, the specific number of heating furnaces in each group of heating furnaces, operating parameters, etc. can be flexibly set. For example, Figure 1 It is shown that the first group of heating furnaces 17 includes two heating furnaces, and the second group of heating furnaces 55 includes three heating furnaces, but this application does not limit this.

[0064] A truss robot (e.g., the first truss robot 31) is a robot that can adjust the position of a material and move a workpiece along a preset trajectory. In the present application, the truss robot can realize functions such as material transfer and material dispersion; for example, the first truss robot 31 can realize functions such as transfer and dispersion of blanks. In actual implementation, the specific type of the first truss robot 31 can be determined according to the actual usage scenario, and the present application does not limit this.

[0065] The rolling mill 53 is a device for implementing the metal rolling process. In the present application, the rolling mill 53 can roll the blank into an aviation ring forging. In actual implementation, the specific type of the rolling mill 53 can be determined according to the actual use scenario. For example, the rolling mill 53 can be a CNC ring rolling mill, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0066] Understandably, Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustration only. The aviation ring forging production line may also include Figure 1 More or fewer devices than shown in, or with Figure 1 Different configurations or position settings are shown. Figure 1 Each device in the invention can be implemented by hardware, software or a combination thereof.

[0067] exist Figure 1Based on the aviation ring forging production line, this application provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing. Figure 2 A flow chart of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing provided in one embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0068] Step 201: Obtain the material status on the logistics roller.

[0069] It should be noted that the material status on the logistics roller conveyor indicates whether there is material on the logistics roller conveyor, the current amount of material on the logistics roller conveyor, etc. Figure 1 , the materials transported on different logistics rollers may be the same or different, so the specific types of materials for which the material status is obtained may also be different. For example, if the first logistics roller transports bar materials, when obtaining the material status on the first logistics roller, the bar material information on the first logistics roller is obtained (whether there are bar materials, the number of bar materials, etc.); for another example, if the second logistics roller transports billets, when obtaining the material status on the second logistics roller, the billet material information on the second logistics roller is obtained (whether there are billets, the number of billets, etc.). The above is only an example. In actual implementation, there may be other types of material status information or the material status of other logistics rollers may be obtained, and this application does not limit this.

[0070] In a possible implementation, the material status on the logistics roller can be obtained by means of sensors, image recognition, etc. For example, a pressure sensor can be used to sense whether there is material on the logistics roller, or the amount of material, etc. For example, an image acquisition device (camera, etc.) set for the transmission surface of the logistics roller can be combined with image recognition technology to determine whether there is material on the logistics roller, or the amount of material, etc. The above is only an example. In actual implementation, there may be other ways to obtain the material status, which is not limited in this application.

[0071] Step 202: If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, obtain the available heating furnace in the working area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller.

[0072] According to the obtained material status, determine whether there is material on the logistics roller (i.e., whether the logistics roller has been loaded). If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded (i.e., there is material on the logistics roller), obtain the available heating furnace corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller.

[0073] It should be noted that loading in this application refers to the state of entering the working area during material processing; for example, loading can be the bar entering the blank making area (through the third logistics roller), or the blank entering the forming area (through the second logistics roller), etc.

[0074] It should also be noted that the operating area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller refers to the target operating area for material transmission on the logistics roller; for example, if the material status indicates that the third logistics roller has been loaded, since the third logistics roller is the logistics roller for the bar material to enter the billet making area, then the target operating area for material transmission on the third logistics roller is the billet making area; for another example, if the material status indicates that the second logistics roller has been loaded, since the second logistics roller is the logistics roller for the billet material to enter the forming area, then the target operating area for material transmission on the second logistics roller is the forming area.

[0075] In a possible implementation, obtaining the available heating furnaces in the operation area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller conveyor may be determining one or more available heating furnaces from one or more heating furnaces included in the operation area corresponding to the downstream according to a preset judgment condition. Figure 1 , a first group of heating furnaces is arranged in the blank making area, a second group of heating furnaces is arranged in the forming area, and each group of heating furnaces includes at least one heating furnace; in actual use, the heating furnaces may have problems such as insufficient available space and the temperature inside the heating furnaces not meeting the use requirements, so it is necessary to select available heating furnaces. Among them, the preset judgment conditions may be, for example, conditions related to the temperature inside the furnace, conditions related to the space inside the furnace, etc. This application does not limit this, and users can flexibly set them according to the actual implementation scenario.

[0076] Step 203: Control the forging robot in the working area to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to an available heating furnace.

[0077] It should be noted that in the present application, the working area may be, for example, a blank making area, a molding area, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0078] In a possible implementation, if the working area is a blank making area, then refer to Figure 1 , the first forging robot 13 in the billet making area can be controlled to transfer the bar material on the third logistics roller to an available heating furnace.

[0079] In another possible implementation, if the working area is a molding area, then refer to Figure 1 , the second forging robot 51 in the forming area can be controlled to transfer the bar material on the second logistics roller to an available heating furnace.

[0080] It should also be noted that if there are multiple available heating furnaces determined in step 202, when the forging robot in the operating area is controlled to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to the available heating furnace, one heating furnace can be randomly selected from the multiple available heating furnaces as the target heating furnace, or the heating furnace closest to the logistics roller can be selected as the target heating furnace, or the heating furnace with the highest priority can be selected as the target heating furnace after sorting according to a pre-set priority rule, and the forging robot in the operating area can be controlled to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to the target heating furnace.

[0081] The above is only an example. In actual implementation, there may be other ways to select the available heating furnace, and this application does not limit this.

[0082] Step 204: After a preset time, the forging robot is controlled to take out the heated material from the available heating furnace and move the heated material to the next process node.

[0083] After transferring the material to the available heating furnace for a preset period of time, the production line control system controls the forging robot to take out the heated material from the available heating furnace and move the heated material to the next process node.

[0084] It should be noted that the required heating time may be different depending on the specific form of the material and the target temperature to be heated. The preset duration is the duration to ensure that the material temperature in the heating furnace meets the use requirements. In specific use, the preset duration can be a fixed value (for example, the preset duration can be set according to the longest time for heating the material to the required target temperature, so as to ensure that the material heated for the preset duration can meet the actual use requirements), or it can be a variable (for example, according to the difference in materials, a preset duration is set for each target temperature of each material. In use, the preset duration may be different according to the different materials). This application does not limit this.

[0085] It should also be noted that the preset time can be the shortest time for controlling the forging robot to take the material out of the available heating furnace, and the material that is not taken out can continue to be kept warm in the heating furnace.

[0086] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing. After obtaining the material status on the logistics roller, if the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, the available heating furnace in the corresponding work area downstream of the logistics roller is obtained, and the forging robot in the work area is controlled to transfer the material on the logistics roller to the available heating furnace. Finally, after a preset time, the forging robot is controlled to take out the heated material from the available heating furnace and move the heated material to the next process node. Therefore, when the logistics roller is loaded, the production line control system can determine the available heating furnace from the corresponding work area downstream, and control the forging robot to transfer the material to the available heating furnace; after the preset time, the material heating is completed, and then the material is taken out of the available heating furnace and transferred to the next process node. Automatic control of logistics heating is realized without manual participation, reducing the workload of manufacturing personnel, and improving the production efficiency of aviation ring forgings.

[0087] Optional, in the above Figure 2 On the basis of, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing, Figure 3 A flow chart of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing is provided as another embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 As shown, the available heating furnaces in the operation area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller are obtained, including:

[0088] Step 301: Obtain the heating furnace status of at least one heating furnace in the operation area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller.

[0089] It should be noted that the state of the heating furnace may be, for example, the temperature of the heating furnace, the remaining space of the heating furnace, the position of the heating furnace, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0090] Step 302: Determine whether the state of each heating furnace meets the preset determination condition.

[0091] A judgment is made based on the state of each heating furnace and preset judgment conditions to determine whether each heating furnace meets the preset judgment conditions.

[0092] Optional, in Figure 3 On the basis of, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing, and the preset judgment conditions include:

[0093] There is still space left in the current furnace;

[0094] The furnace temperature reaches the preset temperature.

[0095] The remaining space refers to the remaining space in the heating furnace that can accommodate materials, and the preset temperature is the preset heating temperature required for the materials. The preset judgment conditions may be, for example, whether there is remaining space in the current furnace and whether the furnace temperature reaches the preset temperature, etc., which can be flexibly set according to the actual working environment, processing materials, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0096] Step 303: Obtain heating furnaces that meet preset judgment conditions as available heating furnaces.

[0097] According to the judgment condition of step 302, the heating furnace that meets the preset judgment condition is determined to be an available heating furnace. There may be one or more available heating furnaces, and the present application does not limit the number of available heating furnaces.

[0098] Optional, in the above Figure 2 On the basis of, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing, Figure 4 A flow chart of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing provided in another embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 As shown, the forging robot in the working area is controlled to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to the available heating furnace, including:

[0099] Step 401: Control the forging robot in the working area to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to the available heating furnace, and control the available heating furnace to open the door.

[0100] It should be noted that there is no sequence between controlling the forging robot in the working area to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to the available heating furnace, and controlling the available heating furnace to open the door. These two control actions can be executed one by one or simultaneously, and this application does not limit this.

[0101] In a possible implementation, the production line control system sends a feeding instruction to the forging robot in the working area, and sends a door opening instruction to the available heating furnace (or the target heating furnace selected when there are multiple available heating furnaces, and the available heating furnace in this application has this meaning, which will not be repeated in this application). In this way, the available heating furnace is controlled to open the door and the forging robot in the working area transfers materials.

[0102] Step 402: Control the forging robot to place the material into an available heating furnace, and control the available heating furnace to close the door.

[0103] Control the forging robot to place the materials into the available heating furnace, and control the available heating furnace to close the door after placement is completed.

[0104] It should be noted that when controlling the forging robot to place materials in the available heating furnace, the materials can be placed in a certain order, and the placement of each material can be recorded after the material is placed, so as to facilitate subsequent use. The above is only an example, and the forging robot can also adopt other implementation methods when placing materials in the available heating furnace, and this application does not limit this.

[0105] Optional, in the above Figure 4 On the basis of the above, the present application also provides a possible implementation method of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing. If there are multiple materials on the logistics roller, the forging robot in the working area is controlled to transfer the materials on the logistics roller to an available heating furnace, including:

[0106] The forging robot is controlled in sequence to transfer the multiple materials on the logistics roller from the logistics roller to the available heating furnace until the amount of materials in the heating furnace reaches a preset threshold, or the multiple materials on the logistics roller are all transferred.

[0107] In one possible implementation, if there are multiple materials on the logistics roller, the forging robot can be controlled to clamp the materials from the logistics roller, and then move to an available heating furnace, load the materials from the door of the available heating furnace, and repeat the process until there is no remaining space in the available heating furnace, or all the multiple materials on the logistics roller are transferred, and then the heating furnace is controlled to close.

[0108] Based on the above implementation method, when clamping materials from the logistics roller, the materials at the most downstream of the logistics roller can be clamped in turn. After each material is clamped, the logistics roller transfers the remaining materials downstream. In this way, the time consumed in transferring materials to the available heating furnace can be further saved, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0109] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing. Figure 5 A flow chart of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing is provided as another embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 As shown, if the material is bar stock;

[0110] Get the material status on the logistics roller, including:

[0111] Step 501: Detect whether the bar material has reached the logistics roller table, and scan to obtain the bar material information.

[0112] If the material is a bar, when obtaining the material status on the logistics roller, in addition to detecting whether the bar has reached the logistics roller, the bar information can also be scanned. It should be noted that each bar is marked with relevant information of the bar, such as bar specifications, materials, etc., by printing or pasting, and the bar information can be obtained by scanning.

[0113] If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, the available heating furnaces in the corresponding working area downstream of the logistics roller are obtained, including:

[0114] Step 502: If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, and the bar information matches the preset order, then obtain the available heating furnace in the corresponding working area downstream of the logistics roller.

[0115] According to the order information of the preset order, it is determined whether the currently scanned bar material information matches the bar material required in the preset order.

[0116] If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, and the bar material information matches the preset order, then according to any of the above implementation methods, the available heating furnace in the working area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller is obtained.

[0117] Optional, in the above Figure 5 On the basis of the above, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing, which controls the forging robot to take out the heated material from the available heating furnace after a preset time and moves the heated material to the next process node, including:

[0118] After a preset time, the forging robot is controlled to take the heated bar from the available heating furnace and move the heated material to the press.

[0119] In a possible implementation, if the material is a bar, the working area is a billet making area, and after the forging robot (the first forging robot 13) takes out the heated material (bar) from the available heating furnace (a heating furnace in the first group of heating furnaces 17), the heated material is moved to the next process node as follows:

[0120] The heated bar is moved to a press to compact the bar into a blank.

[0121] In addition, during this process, the status of the bar in the heating furnace can be monitored (using image recognition or production process data monitoring, etc.). If the bar has defects (such as cracks, etc.), the defective bar can be moved to the waste area (discarding the bar) or the processing area (processing the defective bar to eliminate the defect). The above is only an example. In actual implementation, there can be other ways to process the heated bar, and this application does not limit this.

[0122] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing.

[0123] Step 601: Detect whether the blank has reached the logistics roller.

[0124] The method further includes:

[0125] Step 602: If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded, obtain the available heating furnace in the work area corresponding to the downstream of the logistics roller.

[0126] If the material is a blank, when obtaining the material status on the logistics roller, detect whether the blank has reached the logistics roller. If the material status indicates that the logistics roller has been loaded (i.e., the blank has reached the logistics roller), obtain the available heating furnace in the corresponding working area (i.e., the forming area) downstream of the logistics roller. The specific implementation method is shown in the above embodiment, and this application will not be repeated here.

[0127] Optional, in the above Figure 6 On the basis of the above, the present application also provides a possible implementation of a material heating control method based on intelligent manufacturing, which controls the forging robot to take out the heated material from the available heating furnace after a preset time and moves the heated material to the next process node, including:

[0128] After a preset time, the forging robot is controlled to take out the heated billet from the available heating furnace and move the heated billet to the rolling mill.

[0129] In a possible implementation, if the material is a blank, the working area is a forming area, and after the forging robot (the second forging robot 51) takes out the heated material (blank) from the available heating furnace (a heating furnace in the second group of heating furnaces 55), the heated material is moved to the next process node as follows:

[0130] The heated billet is moved to a rolling mill to roll the billet to form an initial aerospace ring forging.

[0131] In addition, during this process, the state of the blank in the heating furnace can also be monitored (using image recognition or production process data monitoring, etc.). If the blank has defects (such as cracks), the defective blank can be moved to the waste area (discarding the blank) or the processing area (grinding the defective blank to eliminate the defect). The above is only an example. In actual implementation, there can be other ways to process the heated blank, and this application does not limit this.
