Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of feeding control, and in particular to a quality-enhanced, high-efficiency, intelligent foaming machine and a refined control system. Background Art
[0002] The quality and efficiency of foaming machines are key performance indicators and are often influenced by a variety of factors. Current methods for improving foaming quality and efficiency typically involve controlling the temperature of the foaming process. A suitable temperature increases the reaction rate of the mixed materials, thereby improving foam formation efficiency. Alternatively, pressure control can be employed to promote uniform mixing of the mixed materials, resulting in a finer foam. The technology for accurately controlling temperature and pressure during the foaming process to improve foaming quality and efficiency is well established.
[0003] The existing foaming process involves controlling temperature and pressure, applying them to a mixture for a set time, to create foam. However, this process can easily overlook the material ratio within the mixture. A high or low material ratio can lead to unstable foaming times, resulting in insufficient or excessive foaming within the set timeframe. Incorrect material ratios can also lead to uneven mixing of the mixture, resulting in low foam quality and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0085] The present invention obtains the foaming time of the mixed material during the foaming process and the pore size at the end of foaming, adjusts the material feed flow rate to adjust the material ratio. The correct material ratio is conducive to the completion of foaming of the mixed material within the error range of the set time, thereby obtaining high-quality foam and improving the working efficiency of the foaming machine.
[0086] A refined control system for high-quality and efficient intelligent foaming machines, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a feeding module, a foaming module, a data acquisition module and a feeding control module; the foaming module and the feeding control module are connected to the feeding module, and the data acquisition module is connected to the foaming module and the feeding control module;
[0087] A feeding module, configured to mix a first material and a second material to obtain a mixed material, and to transport the mixed material to a foaming module for foaming;
[0088] A foaming module, used for foaming the mixed material;
[0089] Data acquisition module: used to obtain the foaming data of the mixed material and transmit the foaming data to the feeding control module;
[0090] A feeding control module, configured to control the feeding flow rate of the first material or the feeding flow rate of the second material according to the foaming data;
[0091] The foaming data includes foaming time and pore size.
[0092] It should be noted that the main component of the first material is polyisocyanate, such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate or toluene diisocyanate, and the main component of the second material is polyol, catalyst and foaming agent. The feeding module extracts the first material and the second material from the storage of the first material and the second material respectively, and mixes the first material and the second material evenly to obtain a mixed material for foaming; the foaming module provides a certain temperature and pressure to the mixed material to achieve foaming of the mixed material; the foaming data is parameter data in the foaming process of the mixed material, such as foaming time and pore size. The foaming time is the time from the mixed material entering the foaming module to the start of foaming to the foam size no longer changing. The pore size is the average value of the pore diameter in the foam at the end of foaming.
[0093] In this embodiment, by obtaining the foaming time of the mixed material during the foaming process and the pore size at the end of foaming, the material feed flow rate is adjusted to adjust the material ratio. The correct material ratio is conducive to the completion of foaming of the mixed material within the error range of the set time, thereby obtaining high-quality foam and improving the working efficiency of the foaming machine.
[0094] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the data acquisition module includes: a foaming time acquisition module;
[0095] The foaming time acquisition module is used to obtain the foaming state of the mixed material and obtain the foaming time according to the foaming state, specifically including:
[0096] From the time the mixed material enters the foaming module, a foaming image of the mixed material is acquired at fixed time intervals to obtain a foaming image sequence;
[0097] Preprocess the foaming image sequence and use edge detection technology to detect the foam boundary;
[0098] According to the foam boundary, obtain the area of the foam region;
[0099] Constructing an area time series based on the timestamps and area of the bubble image series;
[0100] Analyze the area time series to obtain the foaming time.
[0101] It should be noted that the first foaming image is captured when the mixed material enters the foaming module. Thereafter, multiple foaming images are captured at regular intervals to ensure coverage of the foam forming area. Preprocessing of the foaming image sequence involves grayscaling, binarization, and denoising the foaming images, making them clearer and easier to identify the foam area. After preprocessing, edge detection and contour detection techniques are used to identify the foam boundary and foam area in the foaming image, respectively. This allows the area of the foam area in the foaming image to be determined. The timestamps of the foaming images and the corresponding area areas are then combined to construct a time series of foam area changes over time. By analyzing the area time series data, the time point at which the area no longer increases is determined, thereby determining the foaming time. During the foaming process, foaming may not be completed within the set time. In this case, the area time series can be predicted based on existing historical data to predict the time of foaming completion.
[0102] In this embodiment, the foaming process is monitored in real time to obtain a foaming image sequence, which is processed to obtain the area corresponding to the foaming time, and the area time series data is analyzed to obtain the foaming time, which is conducive to accurately obtaining the time when the foaming is completed.
[0103] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the data acquisition module includes: an aperture size acquisition module;
[0104] The pore size acquisition module is used to obtain the foaming results of the mixed material and obtain the pore size based on the foaming results, specifically including:
[0105] Acquire the result image of the foaming of the mixed material;
[0106] The resulting image is input into the aperture detection model to obtain the aperture size.
[0107] It should be noted that the result image of the foaming of the mixed material can be obtained according to the foaming time to obtain the corresponding foaming image at the end of foaming, or the foaming image at the end of foaming can be selected to identify the result image to obtain the pore size.
[0108] In this embodiment, the pore size is obtained by identifying the result image of the foaming of the mixed material, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of pore size acquisition and provides a data basis for subsequent material feeding adjustment.
[0109] In some embodiments, before inputting the result image into the aperture detection model to obtain the aperture size, the method further includes: training the aperture detection model, specifically including:
[0110] Obtain a large number of foam images to build a training set;
[0111] Train the aperture detection model using the training set;
[0112] The aperture detection module identifies the location of the pores and obtains the pore area. The pores are converted into circles with the same area as the pore area and the equivalent diameter is calculated. The average value of the equivalent diameters is output as the aperture size.
[0113] The calculation formula of pore size is expressed as:
[0114]
[0115] in, is the aperture size, is the equivalent diameter, is the number of pores.
[0116] It should be noted that the pore shapes shown in the foaming image are not all circular; some may be elliptical and other irregular shapes. Therefore, not all pore sizes can be calculated as circles. The pore detection module is trained to identify the location of pores and obtain their area. It then equates the pores to circles with the same area as the pores and calculates their equivalent diameters. The average of these equivalent diameters is then output. Since bubbles in foam tend to have relatively unconventional shapes, the diameter obtained during the equivalent calculation will not differ significantly from the actual pore size.
[0117] In this embodiment, the pore size is obtained by calculating the equivalent diameter of the irregular pores, which is conducive to quantifying the pore size and providing a data basis for subsequent material feeding adjustment.
[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the data acquisition module includes: a foaming temperature acquisition module;
[0119] The foaming temperature acquisition module is used to obtain the foaming temperature of the mixed material and obtain the standard value of the foaming time and the standard value of the pore size according to the foaming temperature.
[0120] It should be noted that, given that the foaming temperature may vary as the foaming process progresses, the foaming temperature acquisition module obtains the temperature of the mixed material immediately upon entering the foaming module and beginning foaming. Substituting the foaming temperature into the time-temperature calibration curve yields the standard value for the foaming time. The pore size calculation formula can be derived from the island-in-the-sea model and will not be detailed here. In this embodiment, the time-temperature calibration curve is y = -1.66x + 77.4, where y is the foaming time in seconds and x is the foaming temperature in degrees Celsius.
[0121] In this embodiment, by obtaining the temperature at the time when the mixed material starts to foam, the standard value of the foaming time and the standard value of the pore size are calculated, providing a data basis for subsequent material feeding adjustments.
[0122] In some embodiments, controlling the feed flow rate of the first material or the feed flow rate of the second material according to the foaming data includes:
[0123] Compare the foaming time and the standard value of the foaming time with the pore size and the standard value of the pore size to obtain the foaming time deviation value and the pore size deviation value;
[0124] Adjusting the feed flow rate of the first material or the feed flow rate of the second material according to the foaming time deviation value and the pore size deviation value;
[0125] The feed flow adjustment amount of the first material is expressed as:
[0126]
[0127] in, is the feed flow adjustment amount of the first material, is the time adjustment coefficient, is the foaming time, is the standard value of foaming time, is the aperture adjustment coefficient, is the standard value of the aperture size, is the aperture size, is the foaming time deviation value, is the aperture size deviation value;
[0128] The feed flow adjustment amount of the second material is expressed as:
[0129]
[0130] in, is the feed flow adjustment amount of the second material, is the time adjustment coefficient, is the standard value of foaming time, is the foaming time, is the aperture adjustment coefficient, is the aperture size, is the standard value of the aperture size, is the foaming time deviation value, is the aperture size deviation value.
[0131] It should be noted that the ratio of the first material to the second material affects the foaming time and pore size, but the foaming time will also vary with changes in temperature and pressure during the foaming process, while the pore size is less affected by these factors. Therefore, the feed rate of the first material or the feed rate of the second material is controlled by the two factors of foaming time and pore size. When the ratio of the first material to the second material is greater than the normal ratio, the foaming time will be faster than normal, and the pore size of the resulting foam will be larger. In the next foaming process, it is necessary to reduce the feed amount of the first material or increase the feed amount of the second material. Conversely, when the ratio of the first material to the second material is less than the normal ratio, the foaming time will be longer than normal, and the pore size of the resulting foam will be smaller. In the next foaming process, it is necessary to increase the feed amount of the first material or reduce the feed amount of the second material.
[0132] In this embodiment, by calculating the foaming time and the standard value of the foaming time, and the deviation value between the pore size and the standard value of the pore size, the material feeding amount is determined from two factors at the same time, thereby improving the accuracy of the feeding amount adjustment.
[0133] It should be understood that the disclosed system can be implemented in other ways. For example, the system embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For example, the division of the above modules is merely a logical functional division. In actual implementation, there may be other division methods. For example, multiple modules or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or not executed. In addition, each functional module may be integrated into a processing module, or each module may exist physically separately, or two or more modules may be integrated into one module. The above-mentioned integrated modules may be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of software functional modules.
