[0102] Embodiment 6

[0103] This embodiment is an explanatory description based on Embodiment 4. Please refer to Figure 1 , specifically: The intelligent analysis and evaluation module includes a quality evaluation unit and an optimization algorithm unit;

[0104] The quality evaluation unit is used to preset a first processing quality threshold Y1 and a second processing quality threshold Y2 based on the mean value of the injection mold processing quality, and then compare and evaluate with the obtained comprehensive processing data JG to analyze the current mold processing quality situation. The specific evaluation scheme is as follows;

[0105] When the comprehensive processing data JG > the first processing quality threshold Y1, it indicates that the processing quality of the current injection molding machine is abnormal. At this time, the optimization algorithm is further executed for parameter optimization;

[0106] When the second processing quality threshold Y2 ≤ the comprehensive processing data JG ≤ the first processing quality threshold Y1, it indicates that the processing quality of the injection molding machine is normal at this time;

[0107] When the comprehensive processing data JG < the second processing quality threshold Y2, it indicates that the processing quality of the injection molding machine is abnormal at this time. At this time, the optimization algorithm is further executed for parameter optimization;

[0108] The optimization algorithm unit is used to construct a comprehensive optimization formula, substitute the obtained temperature distribution T(x, y, z), plastic material change rate Bh, and crystallization rate Jj into the algorithm formula for calculation to obtain a comprehensive optimization coefficient Yh to optimize the injection molding machine. Through iterative calculation, the best combination of process parameters that minimizes the optimization target is found, and according to the calculation results, the parameters are adjusted and optimized through the interactive interface;

[0109] The comprehensive optimization coefficient Yh is obtained through the following algorithm formula;

[0110] Yh = min[α·∫ VT(x,y,z) - T target dV + β·Bh - Bh target | + γ·Jj - Jj target ;

[0111] Wherein, α, β, and γ respectively represent the weight coefficients for temperature optimization, volume change control, and crystallization rate control, T target represents the target temperature set during design, Bh target represents the target volume change, Jj target represents the target crystallization rate Jj set during design;

[0112] α·∫ V T(x,y,z) - T target dV is used to optimize the temperature distribution inside the mold, making the processing temperature close to the target temperature T target , and ensuring the heating uniformity of the mold by minimizing the error of the temperature distribution, thereby improving the quality and performance of the injection-molded product;

[0113] β·|Bh - Bh target | is used to control the volume change of the plastic during the injection process, making it close to the designed target volume V target , and ensuring that the size and quality of the finished product meet the design specifications by minimizing the volume change error, thereby improving the production consistency and precision;

[0114] γ·|Jj - Jj target | is used to adjust the crystallization rate Jj of the plastic to make it close to the target crystallization rate Jj target , and controlling the crystallization process of the plastic by minimizing the crystallization rate error, thereby optimizing the properties of the material and the structural stability of the finished product.

[0115] In this embodiment, the system provides scientific quality monitoring and optimization means for the injection molding production process through the efficient combination of a quality assessment unit and an optimization algorithm unit. By setting a first processing quality threshold Y1 and a second processing quality threshold Y2, the quality assessment unit can accurately identify abnormal situations in mold processing quality, and judge the state of the production process based on the comprehensive processing data JG, ensuring that problems are discovered and adjusted in a timely manner during the production process. This data-based automated quality assessment mechanism is more efficient and reliable than traditional manual inspections. The optimization algorithm unit systematically analyzes the temperature distribution T(x, y, z), the plastic material change rate Bh, and the crystallization rate Jj by constructing a comprehensive optimization formula, calculates the comprehensive optimization coefficient Yh, and finds the optimal combination of process parameters through iterative calculations. This algorithm-driven optimization method can not only manage production parameters in a refined manner but also optimize and adjust specific quality problems, thereby effectively improving the processing quality of the mold and enhancing the final performance of the product and the consistency of production. Compared with traditional single-factor adjustment methods, the multi-dimensional analysis and automated optimization means of this module significantly improve the quality control level and production efficiency of the production process, reflecting the advanced technical means of modern manufacturing in production optimization.
