[0047] This invention provides a packaging workstation mapping system based on digital twins, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the digital twin-based packaging workstation mapping system specifically includes: a workstation entity (01), a workstation digital twin model (02), and a mapping module (03), wherein the workstation entity (01) is the physical entity such as... Figure 2 As shown, the standard physical entity used as the digital twin model (02) of the workstation is a fidget spinner, consisting of a feeding conveyor module (1), a fidget spinner (2), a cover-pushing module (3), a cover (4), a clamping module (5), a FANUC Spider Robot mounting platform (6), a FANUC Spider Robot module (7), a box-pushing module (8), a packaging box (9), a discharging conveyor module (10), a finished product box (11), a desktop (12), and a PLC control module.

[0048] The workstation digital twin model (02) is used to determine the corresponding workstation digital twin model based on the workstation entity through the mapping module; the mapping module is used to dynamically interact and provide feedback control between the workstation entity and the workstation digital twin model. Specifically, the mapping module is a high-fidelity mapping between the workstation entity and the workstation digital twin model.
[0049] This invention provides a digital twin-based packaging workstation mapping system. Based on the production process and the collaborative operation mechanism of multiple equipment in a discrete workshop, and using an object-oriented parametric mapping method, a high-fidelity, high-confidence, and high-maturity digital twin model of the intelligent packaging workstation is established from four dimensions: physical model, behavioral model, communication model, and information control model, based on the physical prototype platform of the intelligent packaging workstation in an intelligent manufacturing production line. A data-driven model dynamic correction mechanism enables full-information simulation of the fidget spinner intelligent manufacturing production line, achieving virtual-physical interoperability. Furthermore, different communication protocols and data interaction methods are employed to reduce data transmission latency and achieve virtual-physical synchronization. This effectively solves problems such as untimely data interaction between the equipment and management layers, untimely production line status feedback, and low visualization, laying the foundation for big data analysis, optimization, intelligent decision-making, and the creation of new production management models.
[0050] This invention also provides a packaging workstation mapping system based on digital twins, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned workstation digital twin model specifically includes: a digital twin physical model, a digital twin behavioral model, a digital twin communication model, and a digital twin information control model, wherein...
[0051] The digital twin physical model describes the physical properties of each component of the workstation entity and the positional relationships between them. It specifically describes the size, shape, structure, and other physical properties of each component, revealing the positional and assembly relationships between them. The digital twin behavioral model represents the internal logic between the components. It consists of the FANUC robot behavioral model, cylinder module behavioral model, conveyor belt module behavioral model, and integrated behavioral model, expressing the constraints and motion patterns between the physical objects and revealing the internal logic between the moving components.
[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 The digital twin physical model shown primarily utilizes SolidWorks software. First, a reference plane is selected. Then, based on the measured actual dimensions of each physical entity and hole relationships, 3D models of each part are created through sketching, extrusion, cutting, and fillet / bevel finishing. Subsequently, the parts are assembled into a component according to the assembly relationships of the physical entities, using concentricity, sliding, and rotational mating methods. Specifically, the digital twin physical attribute mapping relationships are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Then, each component is imported into the overall assembly, and its connection attributes are configured according to the positional relationship of each assembly to form a complete hierarchical relationship.
[0053] The specific process of constructing the digital twin behavior model in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the FANUC robot behavior model primarily utilizes the Visual Components digital twin software. The intelligent factory digital twin simulation technology based on Visual Components (a pre-set simulation software) is a comprehensive application technology integrating motion control modeling, simulation, information management, interactive user interface, and virtual reality. Specifically, the FANUC robot's attributes can be configured through component decomposition to achieve jog control. This involves importing the 3D visualization model of the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation into the Visual Components digital twin software; decomposing the components; configuring the physical attributes of the FANUC robot; defining the world coordinate origin of the robot's base; defining each moving component; defining multiple hand tool coordinate origins; configuring its behavior attributes; configuring the robot controller, servo driver, and hand gripper connection interface; setting the kinematic pairs according to the actual motion coordination of each joint of the robot; configuring control signal input / output nodes; creating a robot motion planning script; and writing the jog control program for the robot's motion.
[0054] The cylinder module behavior model analyzes the motion relationships between various components to achieve the addition and separation of these relationships. In practical applications, it analyzes the motion relationships between components, adds servo controller attributes to the cylinder, sets multiple Boolean signals such as cylinder start / stop control, controls servo reciprocating motion in a Python script to simulate the extension and retraction of the cylinder piston rod, sets a magnetic switch on the outside of the cylinder body, and associates the servo stroke with the color of the magnetic switch in the Python script, configures photoelectric sensor signals, configures component container attributes, and configures body container attributes. It also achieves automatic addition and separation of parent-child relationships through a Python program.
[0055] Specifically, a behavior model of the cylinder module is constructed to analyze the relationships between the various components in the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation. The lid-mounting function requires the cooperation of left and right cylinders, up and down cylinders, a lid-carrying cylinder, and a suction cup. The left and right moving cylinders and the up and down moving cylinders have a hierarchical relationship; the movement of the left and right cylinders drives the up and down cylinders, but the movement of the up and down cylinders does not drive the up and down moving cylinders. When the photoelectric sensor outside the lid-carrying cylinder tray detects a lid, the piston rod of the lid-carrying cylinder will extend, transporting the lid to the far right of the lid-mounting worktable. A lid movement positioning sensor is placed at this location; when the arrival of the lid is detected, the spider-hand robot is triggered to pick up the package.
[0056] After analyzing the motion relationships between the components, a high-fidelity behavioral model of the upper cover worktable is constructed. Linear motion links are configured between the cylinder piston and the cylinder body. Due to the hierarchical relationship between the left and right cylinders and the upper and lower cylinders, the linear motion links of the upper and lower cylinders are included within the linear motion links of the left and right cylinders. Next, servo controller attributes are added to the cylinders, and multiple Boolean signals are set to facilitate cylinder start-stop control. In a Python script, the servo is controlled to move between the set maximum and minimum values, realizing the extension and retraction of the cylinder piston rod. Additionally, a magnetic switch is installed on the outside of the cylinder body. In the Python script, the minimum and maximum values of the servo are associated with the color of the magnetic switch; when the servo decreases to the minimum value or increases to the maximum value, the corresponding magnetic switch will be lit.
[0057] A photoelectric sensor signal is configured below the suction cup and outside the lid tray. Component container attributes are configured for the suction cup and lid cylinder, and a body container attribute is configured in the top cover worktable. Automatic attachment and separation of parent-child relationships can be achieved through a Python program, as follows: When the sensor detects an object, the object's component signal is stored in the suction nozzle component container or the lid cylinder component container. The object is attached to the parent, allowing it to move with the suction cup or lid cylinder. When the sensor signal is 0, meaning the sensor has not detected an object, the object's component signal is stored in the body container. At this point, the parent-child relationship is separated, the object belongs to the ground, and it does not move with the suction cup or lid cylinder. This configuration method can complete the adsorption and separation of child and parent components.
[0058] The conveyor belt module behavior model achieves the attachment and separation of relationships between various components of the conveyor belt by setting its behavioral attributes. Specifically, the construction of the conveyor belt module behavior model first clarifies the start-stop principle and behavioral attributes of the conveyor belt. The start and stop of the conveyor belt are determined by its speed value. When the motor speed value is not 0, the conveyor belt is in the start state; when the motor speed value is 0, the conveyor belt is in the off state. The most critical behavioral attribute of the conveyor belt is the unidirectional path attribute, and its configuration principle is similar to that of the cylinder module mentioned above, also based on the principle of automatic attachment and separation of parent-child relationships. Photoelectric sensor signals are set at the start and end points of the conveyor belt, and signals for the conveyor belt components and the main body components are set. When the fidget spinner is fed onto the feeding conveyor belt, the photoelectric sensor at the start of the conveyor belt recognizes the object and attaches the captured fidget spinner component signal to the conveyor belt, which then moves along the path set by the conveyor belt. When the fidget spinner moves to the end of the conveyor belt, the photoelectric sensor at the end recognizes the object and releases the fidget spinner component signal to the main body of the model, thereby achieving the effect of stopping the transport when the object reaches the designated position.
[0059] The integrated behavioral model connects the input and output terminals of different moving parts via signal lines, and interfaces the PLC-controlled points with the input and output points of the packaging workstation. The construction of the integrated behavioral model requires connecting the input and output terminals of different moving parts on the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation via signal lines according to the actual production needs of the physical production line, thus forming a controllable and complete behavioral model system for the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation. Furthermore, by adding virtual PLC control and interfaced with the input and output points of the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation, it is possible to enable the physical PLC program to control the digital twin model when connected, laying the foundation for the next step of virtual-physical mapping. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned integrated behavioral model is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0060] Digital twin communication models such as Figure 8 As shown, the virtual-real mapping communication and information control process is used to establish a virtual-real interaction channel for the packaging workstation. The digital twin communication model, through input / output devices, enables communication between the PLC controller and the preset simulation software. This bridges the PLC and Visual Components, establishing a virtual-real interaction channel for the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation. Specifically, the PLC controller, acting as the master station, consists of a communication module, an information acquisition module, and an output module. The communication module achieves data interaction via the S7 protocol or OPC UA protocol. The information acquisition module, composed of an encoder, photoelectric sensors, and magnetic switches, transmits the acquired information to the PLC controller. The output module is connected to the FANUC robot motion module, cylinder module behavior model, and conveyor belt module, respectively. In this embodiment, the Visual Components in the communication module interact with the PLC communication module via the S7 protocol or OPC UA protocol. The information acquisition module, composed of an encoder, photoelectric sensors, and magnetic switches, transmits the acquired information to the PLC. The output module is connected to the robot motion module, cylinder motion module, and conveyor belt motion module. Each motion module is composed of various moving parts that achieve motion through specific structures, circuits, and control methods.
[0061] The digital twin information control model is used to achieve mutual control between the physical workstation and its digital twin model within the packaging workstation. In this model, the information acquisition module transmits collected angle, switch, and position information to the PLC. The PLC analyzes and processes the data, then controls the movement of the robot, cylinders, conveyor belts, etc., in the motion module via its output module. Simultaneously, the movement of motors, cylinders, etc., is fed back to the PLC through the information acquisition module, achieving closed-loop control.
[0062] The digital twin information control model associates the IP addresses of the PLC and Visual Components; enables a bidirectional communication interface; and pairs the virtual input / output points of the digital twin model with the input / output points of each physical entity module in the PLC. Data generated during the operation of the digital twin model is transmitted to the PLC in real time via the OPC UA protocol or S7 protocol. The PLC controls the movement of each module of the physical entity and transmits real-time production data to the digital twin model. This achieves virtual-real mapping, synchronization, and mutual control between the physical entity and the twin model of the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation.
[0063] Regarding the virtual-physical mapping, after associating the PLC and VisualComponents IP addresses in the Visual Components connectivity plugin, the "Simulation to Server" and "Server to Simulation" interfaces are enabled, pairing the virtual input / output points of each workstation's information control object with the input / output points of each physical module in the PLC. At this point, data generated during the operation of the virtual model in Visual Components is transmitted to the PLC in real time via the OPC UA or S7 protocol. The PLC processes and analyzes the received data and sends control signals to each execution unit to control the movement of each execution unit on the physical production line. Similarly, the PLC also transmits real-time data generated during production line operation to VisualComponents. After further analysis and processing in the digital twin model, this data is applied to the workstation's virtual model, thereby achieving real-time correction of the digital twin model. This process realizes the virtual-physical mapping between the physical entity of the fidget spinner intelligent packaging workstation and its twin model, achieving virtual-physical synchronization and mutual control.
