Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a production control method, device, and electronic equipment for special-shaped thermal gaskets. Background Art

[0002] The machining process for existing products typically follows a workflow consisting of drawing design, production process determination, production procedures and jig preparation (such as molds), and actual production. This means a significant period of preparation is required between the completion of the drawing design and actual production, impacting overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the above process must be repeated for each new product design.

[0003] Furthermore, as the number of products produced increases, the equipment often stores a large amount of production data. This requires operators to memorize this data. When producing different products, the production data must be adjusted on the equipment. If the production data is incorrect, it is usually not discovered until the product is actually produced. This can increase the number of defective products and waste raw materials. Summary of the Invention

If there is production data of similar products, or the operator is unable to determine, one way is to determine it by checking the detailed data, and the other is to determine it through trial production.

Therefore, according to the obtained target production data, the corresponding equipment is controlled to realize the processing and production of the thermal gasket. The automatic matching of production images helps to improve the selection accuracy and selection efficiency of production data, thereby improving the production efficiency of the product. In addition, this method can avoid the manual selection of production data, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation where defective products are produced due to errors in the selection of production data. This can reduce the defective rate of products and the waste of raw materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0034] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0035] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , shows a process 100 of some embodiments of the production control method of the special-shaped thermal pad according to the present disclosure. The production control method can be used to control the production equipment of the special-shaped thermal pad, including the following steps:

[0037] Step 101: in response to obtaining a production image of a thermal pad, performing recognition analysis on the production image.

[0038] In some embodiments, the execution entity (e.g., a control server) of the production control method for the special-shaped thermal pads disclosed herein can communicate with other production equipment via a wired or wireless connection. Upon acquiring a production image of the thermal pad, the execution entity can perform recognition and analysis on the production image to determine the graphical structure represented by the production image. The format, color, and other attributes of the production image are not limited here, as long as they can be read and recognized by the execution entity.

[0039] In some embodiments, the execution entity can obtain production images in a variety of ways. As an example, the production image can be acquired through an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device can be any device with an image acquisition function, such as an ordinary camera or a CCD (charge coupled device) camera. At this time, the operator can place the sample thermal gasket in front of the image acquisition device to capture its picture. When the execution entity detects that the image acquisition device captures the picture of the sample thermal gasket, it can determine the picture captured by the image acquisition device as a production image. The sample thermal gasket here can be an actually produced thermal gasket product, or it can be a model of the thermal gasket to be produced. The material of the model is not limited here.

[0040] Alternatively, production images can be obtained from design drawings. An operator can send a design drawing or sample image of the thermal pad to the execution entity via a terminal device. Upon receiving the drawing or image, the execution entity can identify the graphic indicated by the received design drawing or sample image as the production image. The design drawing can be a drawing with production process parameter requirements annotated. The sample image can be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image created using drawing software, or a photographic image.

[0041] Step 102: Determine whether there is image information matching the production image in the production database.

[0042] In some embodiments, the execution entity may determine, based on the recognition analysis in step 101, whether image information matching the production image exists in the production database. The production database may be used to store production data for previously produced or recorded products. This production data may be production-related data, such as processing parameters and methods. For example, the execution entity may use CCD visual inspection equipment to determine the specific graphical data of the production image. This data may then be matched against the image information in the production database.

[0043] In some embodiments, the execution entity may also use an image recognition model to identify production images and perform matching analysis with image information in a production database. The image recognition model here can be obtained by training an initial model using sample images (including positive and negative sample images). The initial model can adopt various existing artificial intelligence network model structures. Among them, the positive sample image can be an image that matches the image in the production database; and the negative sample image can be an image that does not match the image in the production database.

[0044] As an example, a sample image and an image in a production database can be input into the initial model, and the input layer in the initial model can be used to extract image features of the input image and output them to the processing layer in the initial model. The processing layer can be used to analyze the image features of the sample image and the image features of each image in the production database to determine whether there is a matching image. The processing layer can send the analysis results to the output layer in the initial model, thereby outputting the analysis results of the initial model. Here, if the analysis shows that there is a matching image, the initial model can output the identification (such as the number) of the matching image. If the analysis shows that there is no matching image, the initial model can output information indicating that there is no matching image. Afterwards, the output result can be compared with the label of the sample image. Among them, the label can indicate whether the sample image is a positive sample image, and the identification of the matching graphic.

[0045] The comparison results of multiple sample images can then be used to determine whether the initial model has been trained. If so, the trained initial model can be used as the image recognition model. If not, the relevant parameters in the model can be adjusted and training can continue until the training is complete.

[0046] Step 103 : In response to determining that there is matching image information, the product production data corresponding to the matching image information is determined as the target production data of the production image.

[0047] In some embodiments, based on the matching analysis in step 102 , if it is determined that there is matching image information, the execution entity may determine the product production data corresponding to the statically matched image information as the target production data of the production image.

[0048] Step 104 , according to the target production data, controlling the conveying equipment to convey the entire thermal pad to the target location, and controlling the corresponding equipment to produce the thermal pad.

[0049] In some embodiments, the execution entity can control the conveying equipment to convey the entire thermal pad to the target position and control the corresponding equipment to produce the thermal pad according to the target production data determined in step 103. As an example, if it is determined to use mold stamping, a conveying instruction can be sent to the conveyor belt to convey the raw material (i.e., the entire thermal pad) to the processing station of the stamping machine. At the same time, a production instruction can be sent to the stamping machine. In this way, the stamping machine can switch the mold according to the production instruction, and then process the thermal pad on the processing station to achieve mass production of the thermal pads indicated by the production image.

[0050] From the above description, it can be seen that the production control method of the special-shaped thermal gaskets of some embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the image information that matches the obtained production image of the thermal gasket from the production database, and then obtain the target production data of the production image. Therefore, according to the obtained target production data, the corresponding equipment is controlled to realize the processing and production of the thermal gasket. The automatic matching of the production image helps to improve the selection accuracy and selection efficiency of the production data, thereby improving the production efficiency of the product. In addition, this method can avoid the manual selection of production data, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation where defective products are produced due to errors in the selection of production data. This can reduce the defective rate of products and the waste of raw materials.

[0051] In some embodiments, if it is determined that there is no matching image information, the execution entity can determine the processing parameters and processing methods based on the production image, thereby realizing the mass production of thermal pads. Figure 2A The relevant description in the embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0052] Continue to refer Figure 2A , shows a process 200 of some embodiments of the production control method of the special-shaped thermal conductive gasket according to the present disclosure. The production control method can be used to control the production equipment of the special-shaped thermal conductive gasket, including the following steps:

[0053] Step 201 : In response to determining that no matching image information exists, determining processing parameters and a processing method based on the production image.

[0054] In some embodiments, if it is determined that there is no matching image information, the execution entity can determine the processing parameters and processing methods based on the production image. It is understandable that for the processing of thermal pads, thermal pads of the required shape are usually processed one by one on the entire thermal pad. That is to say, when processing the thermal pads, the outer contour is usually processed, such as Figure 2B As shown. This situation can refer to the relevant description in step 201a. Or the processing of the outer contour and internal graphics is performed, such as Figure 2C For this situation, please refer to the relevant description in step 201b.

[0055] Step 201a: in response to determining that the production image represents the outer contour of the thermal pad to be processed, analyzing the outer contour dimensions of the production image; and determining whether to use CNC machine cutting or mold stamping based on the analysis result.

[0056] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the production image represents the outline of the thermal pad to be processed, the execution entity may analyze the outline dimensions of the production image, and determine whether to use CNC machine cutting or die stamping based on the analysis results.

[0057] As an example, first, the execution subject can count the number of coordinate points in the outline whose size changes, such as Figure 2B The coordinate points Z1 to Z4 shown in are then determined. Next, it can be determined whether the number of coordinate points is less than a preset number. If it is determined to be not less than the preset number, the size difference between two adjacent coordinate points on the horizontal and vertical axes can be further counted. Thereafter, the number of target coordinate points whose size difference on both the horizontal and vertical axes is less than the preset difference can be determined. Furthermore, the proportion of the target coordinate points to all coordinate points in the contour can be calculated. If it is determined that the proportion of the target coordinate points is greater than the preset ratio, it can be determined that a CNC machine tool is used for cutting.

[0058] Among them, the preset number, preset difference, and preset ratio can also be set according to actual conditions. For example, the larger the preset number, the more the shape contour size changes. For another example, the smaller the preset difference, the smaller the size distance of each change. The preset ratio can represent the proportion of target coordinate points with smaller size distances each time the change occurs. The larger the preset ratio is set, the higher the proportion of target coordinate points. It is understandable that the smaller the size distance of each change, and the greater the proportion of such cases, the higher the requirements for the processing technology. These are usually not convenient for mold stamping processing, nor are they conducive to mold production. Therefore, considering the production process requirements and production costs, CNC machine tools can be used for cutting processing.

[0059] In some embodiments, if the number of coordinate points is less than a preset number, or the proportion of the target coordinate point to all coordinate points in the outline is not greater than a preset ratio, mold stamping may be used.

[0060] Step 201b, in response to determining that the production image represents the outer contour and internal graphics of the thermal pad to be processed, the outer contour size and internal graphics size of the production image are analyzed respectively; and according to the analysis results, it is determined to adopt CNC machine cutting and / or mold stamping.

[0061] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the production image represents the outer contour and internal pattern of the thermal pad, the execution entity may analyze the outer contour dimensions and internal pattern dimensions of the production image, and then determine whether to use CNC machine cutting and / or mold stamping based on the analysis results.

[0062] As an example, the method described in step 201a above can be used for analyzing the outer contour dimensions, and will not be further elaborated here. If the outer contour is determined to be produced by die stamping, the internal pattern can also be produced by die stamping to account for processing costs. In this way, the thermal pad pattern indicated by the production image can be directly produced using a single die. This means that both the outer contour and the internal pattern are processed simultaneously.

[0063] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the outer contour is cut by a CNC machine, the execution entity may further determine whether there are graphics of the same size in the internal graphics, and whether the number of graphics is greater than a preset number. Figure 2C As shown, the interior includes two circles of the same diameter. In response to determining that the number of graphics exceeds the preset number, at least the graphics of the same size within the interior are processed using die stamping. It is understood that the processing cost of die stamping is often lower than that of CNC machining. For common graphics such as circles and squares, if the number of these graphics exceeds the preset number, standard die stamping can be used to reduce overall production costs.

[0064] Step 202 : generating target production data of the thermal pad indicated by the production image according to the determined processing parameters and processing method, and storing the generated target production data in a production database.

[0065] In some embodiments, based on the processing parameters and processing methods determined in step 201, the execution entity may generate target production data for the thermal pad indicated by the production image, and may store the generated target production data in a production database for subsequent production.

[0066] In some embodiments, if a CNC machine tool is used for cutting, the execution entity can generate a CNC machining program based on the coordinate parameters of each coordinate point, which serves as the target production data. As an example, the execution entity can generate the CNC machining program using a program generation model. For example, the execution entity can generate a coordinate point data string based on the sequence of coordinate points and line changes. The coordinate point data string can then be input into the program generation model, which outputs the CNC machining program.

[0067] Here, the program generation model can be obtained by training the original model. For example, a sample coordinate point data string can be input into the original model to output a CNC machining program in a certain language, such as C++, C, etc. Afterwards, the output CNC machining program can be compared and analyzed with the sample CNC machining program, such as to determine the similarity between the two programs. Then, based on the comparison result of the analysis with the target threshold, it is determined whether the original model training is complete. If the training is complete, the trained original model can be determined as the program generation model. The original model here can also adopt the structure of various existing artificial intelligence network models.

[0068] As an example, the original model may include an input layer, multiple processing layers, and an output layer. The input layer can be used to analyze and process the input sample coordinate point data string, such as data format conversion and feature extraction. The multiple processing layers can be arranged in a series. Different processing layers can be used to process different line variations, such as straight lines, oblique lines, and curves, to generate corresponding NC programs. Here, the first processing layer can program the data corresponding to the same line variation (e.g., a straight line) in the sample coordinate point data string. The first processing layer can then output the sample coordinate point data string and the generated NC program to the second processing layer. The second processing layer can similarly program the data corresponding to another type of line variation (e.g., a curve), thereby supplementing and updating the NC program generated by the previous processing layer (here, the first processing layer). The second processing layer can then send the sample coordinate point data string and the updated NC program to the next processing layer, and so on, until the last processing layer. After updating the NC program sent by the previous processing layer, the last processing layer can send the NC program to the output layer for output. Generating corresponding NC programs through different processing layers helps to improve the accuracy of the generated results.

[0069] It's understandable that if a sample coordinate point data string doesn't have a corresponding line change, the corresponding processing layer can simply pass the received data to the next processing layer without further processing. The NC programs generated for each line change are often derived from the coordinate parameters of the corresponding coordinate points. Therefore, there's a correspondence between the NC programs for each line and the coordinate points. Knowing the order of the coordinate points also reveals the order of the NC programs.

[0070] Optionally, the original model may include an input layer, multiple processing layers, an integration layer, and an output layer. The multiple processing layers may be connected in parallel. Different processing layers may be used to process different line variations. In this case, the input layer may split the received sample coordinate point data string, grouping sample coordinate point data representing the same line variation. The input layer may also determine the processing layer corresponding to each sample coordinate point group. The input layer may then output each sample coordinate point group to the corresponding processing layer. In this way, each processing layer may generate a corresponding NC program based on the received sample coordinate point data. The integration layer may integrate the NC programs generated by each processing layer, such as by arranging them in order of precedence. The integration layer may then send the integrated results to the output layer for output. It is understood that a model structure with a split input layer and multiple parallel processing layers can significantly reduce the amount of data required to be transmitted within the model and the amount of data required to be processed by each processing layer. This can improve the model's processing efficiency, further shortening production preparation time.

[0071] It should be noted that, as described in the background technology section, the existing production process still requires the preparation of production procedures and jigs between the completion of drawing design and actual production. However, the existing production procedures are usually programmed by professional engineers and then input into the production equipment. This will not only increase the preparation time, but may also increase the possibility of human errors due to manual programming and input, thereby affecting the overall production efficiency and defect rate. The production control method of the special-shaped thermal gasket in the embodiment of the present disclosure can automatically generate a processing program through a program generation model, thereby directly controlling the corresponding equipment for processing and production. This can shorten the preparation time while ensuring the accuracy of the program and avoiding or reducing the possibility of human errors. Especially for a variety of newly designed special-shaped thermal gaskets, that is, thermal gaskets with irregular and changeable shapes, this can improve production efficiency and ensure the completion and delivery of products on schedule.

[0072] Optionally, to expand the scope of the method and enable continuous model updates, the executing entity can use a coordinate point data string and a programming language identifier as model input. The programming language identifier can be used to indicate the desired programming language. In this way, the program generation model can output a CNC machining program in the desired programming language. This allows for application to different CNC machine tools, meeting equipment upgrade requirements.

[0073] As an example, the program generation model at this time may include multiple (at least two) generation sub-models. Each generation sub-model can be used to generate a numerical control machining program in at least one programming language. In this way, when the program generation model receives input data, the input layer can analyze the programming language identifier and determine the generation sub-model corresponding to the programming language identifier. Then, the received coordinate point data string can be sent to the corresponding generation sub-model. The generation sub-model can send the generated numerical control machining program in the required programming language to the output layer for output. The generation sub-model here can adopt the structure of the above-mentioned original model.

[0074] The production control method for irregularly shaped thermal pads disclosed in this embodiment further enriches and improves the control process, especially for production images that do not have matching image information. This shortens production preparation time and improves production efficiency, while reducing product defect rates and raw material waste.
