Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plastic product molding control, and in particular to a plastic product molding control method based on graphic recognition. Background Art

[0002] In the field of plastic product processing, molding control has always been a technical problem. With the widespread application of plastic products in various industries and the continuous improvement of product quality requirements, the requirements for molding control technology are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional molding control methods mostly rely on manual experience and fixed process parameters, which makes it difficult to achieve accurate and efficient control, resulting in unstable product quality, high production costs, and difficulty in adapting to complex and changing market demands. In recent years, with the rapid development of computer vision and artificial intelligence technology, the application of graphic recognition technology in the field of plastic product molding control has gradually attracted attention. Graphic recognition technology can accurately process and analyze the surface images of plastic products, extract key information related to the target molding quality, and provide reliable data support for molding control.

[0003] In a Chinese invention application with application publication number CN115294410A, a plastic product molding control method based on graphic recognition is disclosed, including using a camera to obtain a surface image of a plastic product, performing data processing on the target image to obtain target defect pixel points; further performing data processing on the target defect pixel points to obtain a weld mark defect connectivity domain and a corresponding degree of damage, and adjusting the injection pressure according to the current degree of damage on the surface of the plastic product.

[0004] In the above invention application, the degree of damage of the weld mark to the mechanical properties of the plastic product is calculated based on the graphic characteristics of the weld mark, and then the injection pressure is adjusted to achieve high-quality molding control of the plastic product. However, in the molding process of plastic products, not only weld marks are generated, but also deformation, bubbles, flash and other defects may occur. If only the influence of the weld mark is considered, the overall quality of the plastic product will not be fully guaranteed. Deformation, bubbles, flash and other defects will also have adverse effects on the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the product, thereby affecting the service life and safety of the product. In particular, deformation of plastic products may lead to inaccurate product dimensions, failure to meet assembly requirements and thus unusable.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a plastic product molding control method based on graphic recognition. Summary of the invention

[0006] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a plastic product molding control method based on graphic recognition. The present invention matches the actual molding image with the standard design image through feature descriptors and calculates the initial deformation anomaly index Cb, so as to quickly screen out products with problems. When problems occur in the molding of plastic products, the injection molding temperature can be automatically adjusted according to the total deformation direction coefficient Fx and the difference degree coefficient Cs of the plastic products. If the newly produced plastic products are still abnormal after the adjustment, an automatic adjustment abnormality warning is issued to the outside, and the maximum deformation position of the plastic products is output, which helps to directly locate the problem area, facilitates subsequent analysis and improvement, greatly improves the efficiency of problem solving, and reduces unnecessary troubleshooting work, thereby solving the technical problems recorded in the background technology.

[0011] After receiving the initial deformation warning, the feature point data set to be tested is obtained after sorting and standard feature point dataset And calculate and obtain the total deformation direction coefficient Fx of the plastic product;

[0012] Get the feature point dataset to be tested and standard feature point dataset Calculate the difference coefficient Cs of plastic products;

[0013] The injection molding temperature is adjusted according to the total deformation direction coefficient Fx and the difference degree coefficient Cs of the plastic product. If the initial deformation abnormality index Cb of the newly produced plastic product is still abnormal after the adjustment, an automatic adjustment abnormality warning is issued and the maximum deformation position of the plastic product is output.

[0014] Furthermore, an image acquisition device is used to capture an actual molded image of the plastic product, the actual molded image is adjusted to the same size and resolution as the standard design image, a feature point detection algorithm (such as SIFT, SURF, etc.) is used to detect common feature points in the two images, and the actual molded image is aligned with the standard design image based on the detected feature points.

[0015] Furthermore, an image processing library or framework (such as OpenCV, scikit-image, etc.) is used to calculate the attributes of each feature point, including position, direction, and gradient strength, and the feature descriptor in the image of the plastic product to be inspected is matched with the feature descriptor in the standard design image to obtain multiple matching feature point pairs.

[0016] Furthermore, the matching feature point pairs between the normal molded plastic product image and the standard design image are counted and recorded as the total number of standard matching points Pv b Similarly, the number of matching feature point pairs Pv of the plastic product image to be detected is obtained by counting d , after linear normalization, the initial deformation anomaly index Cb is calculated:

[0017]

[0018] When the initial deformation abnormality index Cb is less than 0.9, an initial deformation warning is issued.

[0019] Furthermore, after receiving the initial deformation warning, the attributes of the feature point pairs of the image of the plastic product to be tested are obtained, and the feature point data set to be tested is obtained after sorting. and standard feature point dataset

[0030] Furthermore, the total deformation direction coefficient Fx and the difference degree coefficient Cs of the plastic product are obtained. When the total deformation direction coefficient Fx is greater than 0, it indicates that the plastic product is tensile deformed. The injection molding temperature is lowered until the difference degree coefficient Cs is minimized. When the total deformation direction coefficient Fx is not greater than 0, it indicates that the plastic product is compressively deformed. The injection molding temperature is increased until the difference degree coefficient Cs is minimized.

[0031] It should be noted that when the injection molding temperature is adjusted, the difference coefficient Cs of the newly produced plastic products will change accordingly. During the adjustment process, the difference coefficient Cs will have a minimum point, which is a dynamic threshold. The adjustment results are not consistent each time.

[0032] Furthermore, if the initial deformation abnormality index Cb of the newly produced plastic product is still abnormal after the difference degree coefficient Cs is adjusted to the minimum, an automatic adjustment abnormality warning is issued to the outside, and the maximum deformation position of the plastic product is output, indicating that the production process and mold related to this position need to be checked.

[0033] Among them, the maximum deformation position of the plastic product is The position corresponding to the feature point number.
