Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of rearview mirror manufacturing, and in particular to a rearview mirror baking paint system and a working method. Background Art

[0002] In the process of automobile manufacturing, rearview mirrors need to go through multiple process flows such as pretreatment, spraying, and drying to ensure that their surfaces have good gloss and coating thickness. In the existing production process, the spraying process of rearview mirrors is mainly manual using simple mechanical spraying. During the spraying process, the angle, speed, and spray volume of the spray gun are usually manually adjusted by workers, so the spraying conditions cannot be accurately controlled, resulting in problems such as missing coating, sagging, and inconsistent film thickness on the coating of the rearview mirror. At the same time, the drying process cannot be accurately adjusted according to the specific shape of the rearview mirror and the coating thickness, which will lead to insufficient or over-curing of the coating, further affecting the adhesion and durability of the coating. Since the traditional method relies on the operating level of the workers and lacks real-time monitoring of quality parameters such as coating thickness and gloss, the defects in the process are not discovered until the final quality inspection process, resulting in rework and material waste. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a rearview mirror baking paint system and working method are needed. Summary of the invention

[0031] S5: The control feedback module receives the predicted value Q of the quality prediction mechanism, and compares the predicted value Q with the actual value Y detected by the data acquisition mechanism, and calculates the error e between the two using the following formula:

[0032] e=YQ

[0033] S6: The control feedback mechanism adjusts the process parameter P according to the error e to reduce the error and optimize the coating quality:
