[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality and appearance of automobile interiors. As an important part of automobile interiors, the quality of injection molded parts directly affects the overall quality of the car. However, during the injection molding process, problems such as insufficient pressure and incomplete filling are prone to occur in thin-edge parts, which not only affect the appearance quality of the injection molded parts, but may also lead to performance degradation. The traditional pressure control method is mainly achieved by adjusting the pressure and speed of the injection molding machine, but this method is not ideal for pressure control of thin-edge parts. With the continuous development of computer technology and sensor technology, a pressure control method for thin edges of automobile interior injection molded parts has emerged. It uses pressure control based on machine vision and pressure control based on neural networks, monitors the pressure changes during the injection molding process in real time, and automatically adjusts the pressure and speed of the injection molding machine according to the monitoring results, thereby achieving effective control of thin-edge pressure.
[0003] However, the above process still has the following disadvantages:
[0004] First, existing pressure control methods for the thin edges of automotive interior injection molded parts are not accurate enough in monitoring the pressure of the thin edges during the injection molding process. They fail to consider the injection defects caused by uneven pressure distribution on the thin edges of the plastic parts, and are unable to accurately control the pressure at different locations on the thin edges of the plastic parts.
[0005] Secondly, there is a lack of pressure control at different locations according to the distribution of wall thickness changes, and a lack of accurate pressure adjustment from the perspective of uneven pressure distribution. This will lead to quality defects due to improper pressure control during the mold trial and the inability to stabilize product quality. Summary of the Invention

The specific operation of the parallel preprocessing of the process parameters of the thin-edge injection molding process of plastic parts in each target sub-area is: data cleaning, filtering and removal of abnormal values of the process parameters of the thin-edge injection molding process of plastic parts in multiple target sub-areas at the same time.
[0042] It should be noted that the S2 can optionally have a built-in recorder with programmable functions and supports multi-channel data acquisition, automatically starting and stopping recording according to a preset schedule.

The specific value is adjusted according to experimental data;
[0047] Acceleration pressure loss is used to monitor the pressure loss caused by acceleration and deceleration of the melt in the flow channel during the injection molding process. The melt inlet velocity v1 and outlet velocity v2 are recorded respectively. The calculation formula for the acceleration pressure loss is: ρ represents the density of the melt.
[0048] S4: The temperature fluctuation values, melt pressure loss, and acceleration pressure loss extracted in each target sub-region are analyzed in parallel, and the injection pressure loss value of the sub-region is calculated, and the injection pressure loss value of the sub-region is transmitted to S5.
[0049] In this embodiment, S4 simultaneously analyzes the injection pressure loss values of the sub-regions in multiple target sub-regions through the temperature fluctuation value ΔT, melt pressure loss ΔP1 and acceleration pressure loss ΔP2 in each target sub-region. The calculation formula of the injection pressure loss value of the sub-region is Δp j =(ΔP1+ΔP2+P′) ΔT , P′ represents the local pressure loss, and the sub-region injection pressure loss value calculated for each target sub-region is transmitted to S5.
[0050] It should be noted that the specific analysis process of the local pressure loss P′ in S4 is as follows:

When the pressure calibration coefficient u is in the range of (0,1), it means that the pressure loss in the current injection molding process is within the controllable range, the quality of the injection molded parts meets the design requirements, and there is no need to control and adjust the pressure. When the pressure calibration coefficient u is in the range of [1, +∞), it means that the pressure loss in the injection molding process exceeds the controllable range. At this time, the pressure loss will have an adverse effect on the quality of the injection molded parts. The injection molding process needs to be controlled and adjusted, and the pressure control adjustment execution instruction is immediately generated and transmitted to S7.

When the pressure calibration coefficient u is in the range of (0,1), it means that the pressure loss in the current injection molding process is within the controllable range, the quality of the injection molded parts meets the design requirements, and there is no need to control and adjust the pressure. When the pressure calibration coefficient u is in the range of [1, +∞), it means that the pressure loss in the injection molding process exceeds the controllable range. At this time, the pressure loss will have an adverse effect on the quality of the injection molded parts. The injection molding process needs to be controlled and adjusted, and the pressure control adjustment execution instruction is immediately generated and transmitted to S7.
8. The method for controlling thin edge pressure of an automobile interior injection molded part according to claim 1, characterized in that: The S7 is used to receive and execute the pressure control adjustment execution instruction, adjust the injection molding process parameters, and monitor the pressure changes during the adjustment process in real time. When the pressure loss is detected to be within the controllable range, the pressure adjustment stop execution instruction is immediately triggered, and the pressure adjustment stop execution instruction is sent to S6, and the execution behavior is stopped.
