[0046] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for evaluating the health of an engine blade vacuum heat treatment process, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0047] Before the heat treatment task begins, the user shall design the process for the heat treatment task based on historical experience and professional knowledge and technical reserves, including: entering the duration of different process stages, target temperature, target vacuum degree in the system, and setting in detail the vacuum furnace required for each task, the basic performance indicators and process parameters of each vacuum furnace;

[0048] A plurality of temperature detection points and a plurality of vacuum degree detection points are arranged in the vacuum furnace for collecting data, and the positions of the temperature detection points and the vacuum degree detection points do not change during the operation of the vacuum furnace.

[0049] The specific steps of the vacuum heat treatment process health evaluation method include: real-time collection of the temperature and vacuum degree of the vacuum furnace during each process stage of the vacuum heat treatment process, calculation to obtain temperature consistency index data and vacuum consistency index data; and ensuring the time synchronization and accuracy of the data.

[0050] Based on the completion of the heat treatment process, the performance utilization rate, quality pass rate, and time utilization rate of the vacuum furnace after the heat treatment process is run are calculated; based on the performance utilization rate, quality pass rate, and time utilization rate, the comprehensive efficiency index data of the vacuum furnace is calculated;

[0051] The health evaluation value of the heat treatment process is calculated based on the temperature consistency index data, vacuum consistency index data, and comprehensive efficiency index data.

[0052] Furthermore, the temperature / vacuum consistency index data is calculated through the following steps:

[0053] Based on the temperature / vacuum degree collected at each temperature / vacuum degree detection point at time t, the standard deviation of the temperature / vacuum degree at each process stage is obtained, as well as the difference between the collected temperature / vacuum degree and the set value;

[0054] Based on the standard deviation and the difference, the deviation score of the actual temperature / vacuum degree in each process stage is calculated;

[0055] Based on the actual temperature / vacuum degree deviation scores at each process stage, temperature / vacuum degree consistency index data is obtained.

[0056] It should be noted that the temperature / vacuum consistency index data S is calculated through the following steps:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, S j Indicates the actual temperature / vacuum deviation score of the jth process stage, W jIt indicates the weight of the temperature / vacuum degree of the jth process stage, which is the ratio of the set temperature / vacuum degree at the middle time point of the jth process stage to the highest temperature / vacuum degree of the jth process stage, N indicates the total number of each process stage, and j indicates the sequence number of the process stage. It should be noted that the closer the temperature / vacuum consistency index is to 0, the healthier and more reliable the temperature / vacuum degree of the process is.

[0059] The process stages include multiple heating and insulation stages and a final cooling stage; the set temperature and set vacuum degree of each process stage are set by the user based on historical experience, professional knowledge and technical reserves before the start of the heat treatment task.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the calculated temperature consistency index data is recorded as S Ttotal , the vacuum consistency index data is recorded as S Vtotal .

[0061] Furthermore, the actual temperature / vacuum degree deviation score of each process stage is obtained using the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, A tj represents the difference between the temperature / vacuum degree collected at time t in the jth process stage and the set temperature / vacuum degree, T j Indicates the duration of the jth process stage, std j represents the standard deviation calculated for all temperatures / vacuum degrees collected at the jth process stage. It should be noted that when collecting temperature and vacuum degree, the sampling frequency should be no less than 1 Hz, and the number of t is T j and the sampling frequency.

[0064] It should be noted that the comprehensive performance index data is calculated through the following steps:

[0065] Based on the completion of the heat treatment process, the number of defective products, actual operation time and output of the vacuum furnace are obtained;

[0066] The quality pass rate is calculated based on the number of defective products, the time utilization rate is calculated based on the actual operation time of the vacuum furnace, and the performance utilization rate is calculated based on the output of the vacuum furnace;

[0067] The comprehensive performance index data is calculated based on the performance utilization rate, quality qualification rate and time utilization rate.

[0068] Specifically, the vacuum furnace comprehensive efficiency index comprehensively considers the three key factors of the vacuum furnace's quality qualification rate, performance utilization rate, and time utilization rate, and comprehensively evaluates the health status of the vacuum heat treatment process based on process data. The vacuum furnace comprehensive efficiency index (Total Equipment Effectiveness, TEE) is obtained using the following formula:

[0069] TEE=(W Q *Q+W P *P+W T *T)*100%

[0070] Among them, Q represents the quality pass rate, that is, the proportion of defect-free products processed by the vacuum furnace; P represents the performance utilization rate, that is, the degree to which the vacuum furnace actually reaches the designed capacity; T represents the time utilization rate, that is, the ratio of the actual operation time of the vacuum furnace to the planned operation time, where:

[0071] Performance utilization rate P = (theoretical processing cycle * output) / actual operation time of vacuum furnace * 100%

[0072] Time utilization rate T = (vacuum furnace planned operation time / vacuum furnace actual operation time) * 100%;

[0073] Quality pass rate Q = (qualified product quality / total processing quality) * 100%;

[0074] Among them, the adjustable weight factor W Q , W P and W T are the weight coefficients of quality qualification rate, performance utilization rate and time utilization rate, respectively, to adapt to different production environments and specific needs; W Q +W P +W T =1, ensuring the rationality of weight distribution and making the evaluation more flexible and accurate.

[0075] For example, in the scenario of pursuing the ultimate product quality, W can be appropriately increased. Q When the production capacity is tight, W can be increased. P This scheme allows personalized adjustment of the importance of each indicator according to production goals and vacuum furnace characteristics, and can reasonably allocate W according to production goals and vacuum furnace maintenance strategies. Q , W P and W T The value of .

[0076] It should be noted that the comprehensive process health evaluation model M CPHA(Comprehensive Process Health Assessment Model), which comprehensively analyzes all indicators and comprehensively and three-dimensionally evaluates the vacuum heat treatment process of engine blades, including the following formulas:

[0077] M CPHA =0.5*(1-S Ttotal )+X1*(1-S Vtotal )+X2*TEE

[0078] Among them, S Ttotal Indicates the temperature consistency index data, S Vtotal represents the vacuum consistency index data, TEE represents the vacuum furnace comprehensive efficiency index data, X1 and X2 represent S Vtotal The weight parameters of TEE, X1 and X2, need to satisfy X1+X2=0.5. It should be noted that M CPHA The closer the calculated value is to 1, the healthier the vacuum heat treatment process is.

[0079] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment provides a comprehensive and scientific vacuum heat treatment process health evaluation method. This method is no longer limited to post-process product quality inspection, but extends the evaluation scope to the entire heat treatment process, and users can continuously optimize production parameters based on evaluation feedback, improve product quality and production efficiency, and achieve lean production.
