[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in combination with the embodiments below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] At present, in the production process of customers, the situation of unqualified products occasionally occurs due to the reduction of automatic production clamping force. The existing technology requires the operator to spend a certain amount of time to troubleshoot and solve the problem before continuing production. Specifically, in the production process of the injection molding machine, due to long-term automatic production, it is easy to cause the clamping force to slowly decrease, thereby causing unqualified problems such as product flash. The relevant technology proposes that the operator can perform manual troubleshooting. When it is found that the product is unqualified or the machine alarm is caused by the reduction of clamping force, it is necessary to switch the machine from automatic mode to manual mode, and in manual mode, adjust the machine clamping force through the manual mold adjustment button. Large, repeat the test of a few molded products to see if they are qualified. If they are unqualified, it is still necessary to repeat the above manual adjustment steps and manually increase the clamping force until qualified products can be produced. Therefore, this solution is time-consuming and easy to affect the production progress, and because it is impossible to monitor in real time manually, when the clamping force becomes smaller after a long time of use, it is easy to affect the product qualification rate of the injection molding machine. Based on this, the automatic adjustment method, device and server of the clamping force of the injection molding machine provided by the implementation of the present invention can greatly reduce the abnormal situations occurring in the production process of the injection molding machine, improve production efficiency, and save the working hours for troubleshooting and solving abnormal situations.

[0026] See also Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for automatically adjusting the clamping force of an injection molding machine is shown in FIG. 1 , and the method mainly includes the following steps S102 to S106:

[0027] Step S102, obtaining the preset clamping pipeline pressure difference and target clamping tonnage range of the injection molding machine, and collecting the system pressure of the injection molding machine during high-pressure clamping through the pressure sensor set in the injection molding machine cylinder.

[0028] Step S104, through the preset clamping force calculation model, the clamping force analysis and processing are performed on the clamping pipeline pressure difference and the system pressure to determine the clamping force of the injection molding machine at the current moment, wherein the clamping force refers to the locking force applied to the mold after the injection molding machine closes the mold. During injection, in order to overcome the expansion force of the melt in the cavity on the mold, when the raw material is injected into the mold cavity at high pressure, a mold-supporting force will be generated. Therefore, the clamping unit of the injection molding machine must provide sufficient "clamping force" to prevent the mold from being expanded.

[0029] Step S106, by presetting the automatic adjustment model, the target clamping tonnage range and the clamping force are analyzed and processed by the adjustment amount, and the automatic adjustment amount is determined, so as to control the clamping adjustment gear to perform fine adjustment according to the automatic adjustment amount, and adjust the clamping force to the target clamping tonnage range. In one embodiment, the clamping force is used as the data source to make a logical judgment. When the clamping force after high-pressure clamping exceeds the target clamping tonnage deviation range, a clamping force adjustment action is performed before the next mold is closed, and then the clamping force during high-pressure clamping is continuously monitored. If it still exceeds the target clamping tonnage deviation range, the clamping force adjustment is continued before the next mold is closed until the clamping force after monitoring the high-pressure clamping returns to the normal range. The whole process is completed in the automatic mode and does not affect the normal production of products. Generally, from monitoring that the clamping force exceeds the target deviation range, only a few automatic adjustment corrections are needed to return to the normal range, and the automatic adjustment efficiency is relatively high.

[0030] The automatic adjustment method of the clamping force of the injection molding machine provided in the embodiment of the present invention can obtain the clamping force through algorithmic processing of the system pressure sensor data, and automatically adjust and correct the clamping force by monitoring the clamping force deviation, thereby significantly improving the product qualification rate and production efficiency of the injection molding machine.

[0031] See also Figure 2 The specific flow chart of a method for automatically adjusting the clamping force of an injection molding machine is shown in the figure. The embodiment of the present invention also provides an implementation method for automatically adjusting the clamping force of an injection molding machine. For details, see (1) to (2) below:

[0032] (1) Real-time monitoring of the system pressure during high-pressure clamping and conversion of the system pressure into clamping force through an algorithm, including the following (A) to (B):

[0033] (A) The clamping cavity pressure is determined based on the system pressure and the clamping pipeline pressure difference during high-pressure clamping of the injection molding machine. In one embodiment, the difference between the system pressure and the clamping pipeline pressure difference can be determined as the clamping cavity pressure, that is, the clamping cavity pressure (X) = the pressure measured by the system pressure sensor - the clamping pipeline pressure difference.

[0034] (B) Through a preset clamping force calculation model, the clamping force analysis processing is performed on the clamping cavity pressure to determine the clamping force of the injection molding machine at the current moment. In one embodiment, preset calculation parameters corresponding to the injection molding machine model size and oil circuit difference can be obtained, and the calculation parameters and the clamping cavity pressure are brought into the preset clamping force calculation model to determine the clamping force, wherein the preset clamping force calculation model is:

[0035] Y = AX^2 + BX + C;

[0036] Among them, X is the clamping cavity pressure, Y is the clamping force, A, B and C are all preset calculation parameters. The clamping pipeline pressure difference and ABC coefficient vary according to the size of different models and the difference in oil circuits. During the machine assembly and test run, the corresponding parameters are calibrated according to the actual clamping force and system pressure of the machine. Therefore, in the actual production of the machine, it is only necessary to collect the data of the system pressure sensor to calculate the actual clamping force of the machine.

[0037] (2) Determine whether the clamping force is within the target clamping tonnage range. If so, close the mold and proceed with injection molding. If not, adjust the clamping force before closing the mold. Figure 3 The flowchart of automatic clamping force adjustment before mold closing is shown in FIG. 1 . When the clamping force after high-pressure clamping is detected to exceed the target deviation range, a mold adjustment action is inserted before the next mold is closed to fine-tune the clamping force, and then the mold is closed and the product is produced. The clamping force is automatically adjusted until the clamping force after high-pressure clamping returns to the normal range. At the same time, an alarm will be given if the clamping force deviation is too large. Specifically, the following (C) to (D) are included:

[0038] (C) When it is detected that the clamping force after high-pressure clamping is outside the target clamping tonnage range, the target clamping tonnage range and the clamping force are analyzed and processed by a preset automatic adjustment model to determine the clamping force adjustment amount, and the automatic adjustment amount corresponding to the clamping adjustment gear is determined according to the clamping force adjustment amount and the specification information of the clamping adjustment gear, wherein the clamping force adjustment amount indicates: adjusting the clamping force to the minimum adjustment amount within the target clamping tonnage range.

[0039] (D) The automatic adjustment amount is sent to the controller of the mold locking adjustment gear to perform a mold adjustment forward operation or a mold adjustment backward operation before closing the mold, to fine-tune the mold locking force, and when a mold thickness change signal sent by an external mold adjustment electric eye is received, it is determined that the automatic adjustment of the mold locking force of the injection molding machine is completed, wherein the mold adjustment forward operation is used to increase the mold locking force, and the mold adjustment backward operation is used to reduce the mold locking force. In one embodiment, when the mold locking force is greater than a preset pressure threshold, the rotation amplitude of the mold locking adjustment gear and the mold thickness change amount are reduced. If the mold thickness change amount is less than the monitoring range of the external mold adjustment electric eye, the adjustment time is monitored. When the automatic adjustment time of the mold locking force is greater than the preset time threshold, it is determined that the automatic adjustment of the mold locking force of the injection molding machine is completed.

[0040] To summarize, the present invention only needs to use an algorithm to convert the system pressure into locking force, and perform analysis and processing, so that it can automatically monitor and identify the abnormal situation that the locking force exceeds the target deviation range, and adjust and correct it by itself. The system pressure sensor is standard for the injection molding machine, so there is no need to install an additional locking force sensor, which saves hardware costs. Relatively accurate locking force data can be obtained by performing algorithm analysis using the existing system pressure sensor data. The entire process does not require human participation. Compared with manual discovery, investigation and problem solving, it is more efficient and can significantly improve the product qualification rate and production efficiency of the injection molding machine.

[0041] Regarding the automatic adjustment method of the clamping force of the injection molding machine provided in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic adjustment device of the clamping force of the injection molding machine, see Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic adjustment device for the clamping force of an injection molding machine is shown, and the device includes the following parts:
