[0057] S76: The hardware anti-interference means includes any one of the following or a combination of any multiple ways: using a high-performance microprocessor, PCB design, optoelectronic isolation, double-layer isolated power supply.

[0058] S77: The software anti-interference means includes any one of the following or a combination of any multiple ways: applying watchdog technology, output port feedback detection, fault-tolerant technology, repeated verification.

[0059] Specifically, commonly, the working environment of the injection molding machine is harsh and needs to run for a long time, there are many strong electrical equipment around, the power is very large, at the same time, frequent start or stop often causes unstable power supply of the power plant, and it is easy to be affected by strong electromagnetic interference, based on this, it is necessary to judge whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability, the anti-interference capability includes software anti-interference capability and hardware anti-interference capability, the software anti-interference capability corresponds to the first production sequence, and the hardware anti-interference capability corresponds to the second production sequence.

[0060] Judging whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability includes: judging whether the injection molding machine control system has software anti-interference capability; judging whether the injection molding machine control system has hardware anti-interference capability. That is, if the injection molding machine control system has software anti-interference capability and hardware anti-interference capability, it means that the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability, in the case that the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability, the first production sequence and the second production sequence are taken as the control target, the real-time running parameters of the N sub-modules are adjusted and the target injection molding machine is controlled.

[0061] determining whether the injection molding machine control system has software anti-interference capability: the preset offset is self-defined by a person skilled in the art, a plurality of maximum values and a plurality of minimum values of each index in the first production sequence are obtained, at the same time, the maximum value and the minimum value of each index in the first production sequence are obtained, the mode of the offset between the plurality of maximum values of each index in the first production sequence and the maximum value of each index in the first production sequence is calculated, and the mode of the offset between the plurality of maximum values of each index in the first production sequence and the maximum value of each index in the first production sequence is compared with the preset offset; the mode of the offset between the plurality of minimum values of each index in the first production sequence and the minimum value of each index in the first production sequence is calculated, and the mode of the offset between the plurality of minimum values of each index in the first production sequence and the minimum value of each index in the first production sequence is compared with the preset offset; if the mode of the offset between the plurality of maximum values of each index in the first production sequence and the maximum value of each index in the first production sequence, and the mode of the offset between the plurality of minimum values of each index in the first production sequence and the minimum value of each index in the first production sequence, meet the preset offset at the same time, the software anti-interference capability corresponds to the first production sequence, that is, the injection molding machine control system has software anti-interference capability;

[0062] determining whether the injection molding machine control system has hardware anti-interference capability: the hardware anti-interference capability corresponds to the second production sequence, and the hardware anti-interference judgment is performed by comparing the steps of determining whether the injection molding machine control system has software anti-interference capability, and the hardware anti-interference judgment and the software anti-interference judgment are performed at the same time, to ensure the overall anti-interference capability of the injection molding machine control system and provide support for the stability of the injection molding machine control system.

[0063] Specifically, determining whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability also includes, if it does not have anti-interference capability, determining that the software anti-interference capability and / or the hardware anti-interference capability fails: the software anti-interference means includes any one or any combination of multiple ways of applying watchdog technology, output port feedback detection, fault tolerance technology, and repeated verification, if only the software anti-interference capability fails, adding software anti-interference means to suppress interference as much as possible through software anti-interference means, so as to delete the first production sequence that does not meet the software anti-interference means to obtain a first stable production sequence;

[0064] Optoelectronic isolation, i.e. optoelectronic coupling, suppresses the influence of interference signals on useful signals as much as possible, double-layer isolated power supply, i.e. two circuits are powered at the same time, one circuit is isolated, two Schottky diodes are used to interface and isolate one circuit, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved. At the same time, both digital signals and analog signals are transmitted using shielding lines. The hardware anti-interference means includes any one of the following: using a high-performance microprocessor, PCB design, optoelectronic isolation, double-layer isolated power supply, or any combination of multiple ways. If the hardware anti-interference capability does not pass, add hardware anti-interference means to suppress interference as much as possible, and delete the first production sequence that does not meet the hardware anti-interference means from the second production sequence to obtain a second stable production sequence.

[0065] If only the software anti-interference capability does not pass, replace and update the first production sequence using the first stable production sequence; if only the hardware anti-interference capability does not pass, replace and update the second production sequence using the second stable production sequence, and re-determine whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability.

[0066] After the injection molding machine control system is replaced and updated in the first production sequence or the second production sequence, re-determine whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability. If the re-determination indicates that the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability, adjust the sub-module real-time running parameters of the N sub-modules through the first stable production sequence and the second production sequence or the first production sequence and the second stable production sequence, and control the target injection molding machine. This provides support for realizing adaptive optimization of the running parameters of the target injection molding machine.

[0067] Step S74 includes the following steps:

[0068] S741: Determine whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference capability. If it does not have anti-interference capability and both the software anti-interference capability and the hardware anti-interference capability do not pass, generate a first fault warranty instruction.

[0069] S742: If the re-determination indicates that the injection molding machine control system still does not have anti-interference capability, generate a second fault warranty instruction. The first fault warranty instruction and the second fault warranty instruction are issued by the alarm module in the third control module.

[0070] Specifically, if the injection molding machine working environment is humid, there is a lot of dust, and even corrosive gas, the working environment of the injection molding machine is too harsh, and stable injection molding machine production work cannot be carried out, that is, the stability of the injection molding machine control system cannot be effectively guaranteed by only the hardware anti-interference means and the software anti-interference means, and maintenance is needed. Therefore, it is judged whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference ability. If it does not have anti-interference ability and the software anti-interference ability of the injection molding machine control system and the hardware anti-interference ability of the injection molding machine control system do not pass, a first fault maintenance instruction is generated. The content of the first fault maintenance instruction includes a first production sequence and a second production sequence. The first fault maintenance instruction is used to indicate that the injection molding machine control system is found to not have anti-interference ability for the first time.

[0071] If it is re-judged that the injection molding machine control system still does not have anti-interference ability, including that the software anti-interference ability and the hardware anti-interference ability do not pass, the software anti-interference ability does not pass, and the hardware anti-interference ability does not pass, a second fault maintenance instruction is generated. The content of the second fault maintenance instruction includes the first stable production sequence and the second production sequence or the first production sequence and the second stable production sequence. The second fault maintenance instruction is used to indicate that the injection molding machine control system is still found to not have anti-interference ability after adaptive optimization. The first fault maintenance instruction and the second fault maintenance instruction are issued by an alarm module in the third control module. The first fault maintenance instruction and the second fault maintenance instruction are used to remind relevant maintenance personnel to maintain and provide support for timely maintenance.

[0072] In summary, the intelligent control method and system of the injection molding machine provided by the embodiments of the present application have the following technical effects:

[0073] 1. Because the information of the acquisition submodule, the real-time running parameters, and the production process information are obtained, and the multiple control modules are set; the historical injection molding products and the historical injection molding quality are output, and the first and second production sequences are compared and synthesized; it is judged whether the injection molding machine control system has anti-interference ability; if it does, the real-time running parameters of the submodules are adjusted and the target injection molding machine is controlled through the first and second production sequences.
