[0041] S102. Designing cooling channels inside the forging die based on the obtained temperature field cloud map of the forging die surface under heating conditions, the temperature distribution requirements of the forging die surface during hot forging, and the structural characteristics of the forging die;

[0042] S103. A multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to optimize the heating power of the heating channel and the flow rate of the coolant in the cooling channel so that the forging mold surface temperature reaches the expected target.

[0043] Among them, a mold heating rod is installed in the heating channel, and a cooling water medium is passed into the cooling channel to adjust the temperature of the forging model surface. A heating rod temperature control system is established based on the heating channel, and a coolant control system is established based on the cooling channel. The heating power of each heating rod is individually controlled by the heating rod temperature control system, and the flow rate of the cooling medium in each cooling channel is controlled by the coolant control system, so that the temperature of each area of ​​the forging model surface reaches the expected target.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the forging die cavity temperature control channel design method provided in this embodiment designs a heating channel inside the forging die according to the structural distribution of the forging die cavity, and arranges multiple heating channels symmetrically in the forging die. Based on the temperature field cloud map of the forging die surface under heating conditions, the temperature distribution requirements of the forging die surface, and the structural characteristics of the forging die, a cooling channel inside the forging die is designed. The cooling channel is designed taking into account the influence of the heating channel on the strength of the forging die, the influence of the cooling medium in the cooling channel on the temperature of the forging die, the structural characteristics of the aluminum alloy forged parts, the material properties, and the structural characteristics of the forging die, so that the temperature of the cavity surface meets the requirements and the quality and performance of the final formed part are guaranteed. The heating power of the heating channel and the flow rate of the coolant in the cooling channel are adjusted, and the heating power and the flow rate of the coolant are optimized using a multi-objective optimization algorithm so that the forging die surface temperature reaches the expected target, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and adjustment of the mold cavity surface temperature and improving the stability and controllability of the production process.

[0045] In some embodiments, in step S101, multiple heating channels are designed inside the forging die according to the cavity structure distribution of the aluminum alloy forging die, and the multiple heating channels are symmetrically arranged on the same reference plane of the bottom of the upper die and the bottom of the lower die of the forging die. Multiple heating rods are correspondingly installed in the multiple heating channels, and the diameter of the heating channels is The height between the center axis of the heating channel and the bottom surface of the forging die is During the forging process, the forging die needs multiple heating channels to heat the die to a certain temperature range. Therefore, die heating rods are installed inside the heating channels. A total of 16 die heating rods are arranged, all of which are model HLE1252 and have parameters of , power 250w, among which 12 mold heating rods are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the mold in a horizontal manner, and 4 mold heating rods are arranged at the rear end of the mold in a vertical manner. In order to ensure that the heating rods fit closely with the mold surface, they are arranged at appropriate positions on the mold surface. A thermocouple is connected to the heating channel, and a heating rod temperature control system is established based on the heating channel. The heating rod temperature control system includes a multi-channel temperature intelligent controller, an electromagnetic relay, a voltage regulating module, a heating rod and a thermocouple. Multiple thermocouples, heating rods and voltage regulating modules are connected to the multi-channel temperature intelligent controller, and the heating rods are connected to the computer respectively, so that the heating rod temperature control system can individually control the heating power of each heating rod.

[0046] In some embodiments, in step S102, a temperature field cloud map of the forging die surface under heating conditions is obtained, an infrared thermal imager is arranged vertically above the forging die, and the position of the infrared thermal imager relative to the forging die is ensured to remain unchanged. The temperature field cloud map of the forging die surface under heating conditions of the internal heating rod is obtained by the infrared thermal imager, and the resolution of the infrared thermal imager is , the temperature range is degrees Celsius; according to the structural characteristics, material properties, and structural characteristics of the forging die cavity of the aluminum alloy forged parts, the temperature distribution requirements of the die surface during the hot forging process are determined, wherein the temperature distribution requirements of the forging die surface include the surface temperature distribution of the die surface, the thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient of the die material. Before designing the cooling channel, in order to ensure that the designed forging die can withstand the applied force during use and to prevent deformation, fracture, or damage due to insufficient structural strength, it is necessary to check the structural strength of the forging die. The finite element numerical simulation method is used, and the forging process of the formed part is used as the simulation boundary condition to simulate the forming process, and then check the strength of the forging die structure under the impact of the forging load, that is, to ensure that the internal limit stress of the die is less than the fracture strength of the material under the condition of the heating channel. The distance between the center axis of the cooling channel and the bottom surface of the forging die is determined based on the strength of the forging die structure, and the distance between the center axis of the cooling channel and the bottom surface of the forging die is defined as H, and its calculation formula is:

[0047] ,

[0048] in, The minimum distance required to meet the strength requirement is is the safety factor; a cooling channel is designed on the reference plane of H to give the forging die a certain structural strength, so as to ensure that the forging die designed with both cooling and heating channels can realize the processing technology of aluminum alloy parts on the basis of meeting the temperature distribution requirements of the cavity surface;

[0049] Based on the temperature field cloud diagram of the forging die surface under heating conditions, the temperature distribution requirements of the forging die surface, and the structural characteristics of the forging die, the cooling channel inside the forging die is designed. First, the temperature rise, flow rate, and physical properties of the cooling medium in the cooling channel are obtained. The calculation formula for the temperature rise, flow rate, and physical properties of the cooling medium is:

[0050] ,

[0051] ,

[0052] in, is the proportion of heat removed by the cooling medium, ranging from 0.8 to 1. The heat removed by the cooling medium, is the flow rate of cooling medium, The time for a single production cycle, is the specific heat capacity of the cooling medium, The temperature change of the cooling medium before and after it flows through the mold. is the number of cooling channels, is the cooling channel diameter, Cooling medium flow rate;

[0053] The physical properties of the formed parts are obtained, including strength, hardness, elongation and the microstructure of each part of the formed parts. Based on the temperature field cloud map of the forging mold surface under heating conditions, the temperature rise, flow rate, physical properties of the cooling medium, the physical properties of the formed parts, the temperature distribution requirements of the forging mold surface, the distance between the center axis of the cooling channel and the bottom surface of the forging die, and the structural characteristics of the forging die, multiple cooling channels with different apertures and unequal spacing are designed longitudinally, and cooling water medium is introduced into the cooling channel. In a single production cycle, according to the heat contained in the mold cavity surface, combined with the temperature rise, flow rate and physical properties of the cooling medium, as well as the physical properties of the blank, 5 straight hole cooling channels with unequal spacing and different apertures can be designed, all above the heating channel reference plane.

[0054] A coolant control system is established based on the cooling channel. The coolant control system includes a coolant pump, a flow rate control valve and a temperature thermocouple. The coolant control system adjusts the flow rate of the coolant in the cooling channel to adjust the temperature of the forging mold surface.

[0055] In some embodiments, in step S103, the heating power of the heating channel and the flow rate of the coolant in the cooling channel are adjusted based on the temperature field cloud map of the forging mold surface, and the power of the mold heating rod is set by the heating rod temperature control system to heat the forging mold. When the surface temperature of the forging mold cavity reaches a predetermined temperature, the cooling medium is introduced into the cooling channel by the coolant control system, and the flow rate is adjusted by controlling the opening of the flow control valve, and the image of the forging mold surface is taken by an infrared thermal imager to determine the temperature control condition setting;

[0056] In order to finely control the surface temperature of aluminum alloy forging die, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to optimize the heating power and coolant flow rate. The optimization target is the combination of cooling medium flow rate and heating rod power. The most suitable cooling medium flow rate and heating rod power are found through optimization. The heating rod temperature control system and the coolant control system are used to adjust the heating rod power of the heating channel and the cooling medium flow rate in the cooling channel to quickly achieve the most suitable cooling medium flow rate and heating rod power, so that the temperature of each area of ​​the forging die surface reaches the expected target. The specific process is as follows: the cooling medium flow rate in the cooling channel and the heating power of the heating rod are used as independent variables, and the temperature value of a certain point on the two-dimensional temperature field of the forging die cavity surface photographed by the infrared thermal imager is used as the dependent variable. Through simulation, an approximate expression of the change of flow rate and heating power to temperature is established. The optimal parameter matching of the target temperature value is obtained by the particle swarm multi-objective algorithm calculation convergence. The optimal parameters are the most suitable cooling medium flow rate and heating rod power. The approximate expression form satisfies the following speed update formula and position update formula in the particle swarm algorithm. The speed update formula and position update formula are as follows:

[0057] ,

[0058] ,

[0059] in, For particles exist In the iteration dimensional velocity vector, For particles In the In the iteration dimensional position vector, is the inertia weight, 、 is the acceleration coefficient or acceleration factor, For the After the iteration, the The optimal solution obtained by individual particle search is For the After iterations, the optimal solution in the entire particle swarm is obtained. In order to improve the calculation speed and accuracy, the inertia weight of the speed update formula in the particle swarm algorithm is adjusted, and the calculation formula is:

[0060] ,

[0061] in, is the maximum inertia weight, is the minimum inertia weight, is the current iteration number, is the maximum number of iterations;

[0062] The optimal cooling flow rate and heating power for the target temperature are obtained through particle swarm optimization and multi-objective algorithm.
