Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hot stamping dies, and in particular to a method for optimizing the design of cooling channels of hot stamping dies based on numerical simulation and machine learning. Background Art

[0002] Lightweighting of automobiles has become a major trend in the development of the global automobile manufacturing industry. In order to achieve lightweight design while ensuring the structural strength of the automobile body, high-strength steel is widely used in the manufacturing process of automobile parts. Given the relatively poor forming performance of high-strength steel, traditional stamping processes can no longer meet the production needs of high-strength automotive structural parts. Therefore, in current industrial production, hot stamping technology has become the main means of production.

[0003] As a high-strength steel, 22MnB5 manganese-boron steel has been widely used in industrial production. Before sheet metal is stamped, its initial phase structure is mainly composed of ferrite and pearlite. The mechanical strength of the part is closely related to the martensite content, and the formation of martensite is mainly achieved during the pressure-holding quenching process in the mold. By accurately controlling the cooling rate during the quenching process, the mechanical properties of the parts after hot stamping can be effectively adjusted. When the cooling rate exceeds the critical value, a complete martensitic microstructure can be formed, and the comprehensive mechanical properties of the component can be significantly enhanced. In order to achieve rapid cooling of hot-formed parts and promote the formation of high-strength martensitic structure, cooling water channels need to be arranged inside the mold. The rapid cooling of the mold and hot stamping parts to the target temperature is accelerated by the circulation of cooling water.

[0004] The geometric structure and layout of the cooling water channel have a significant impact on the uniformity of the cooling temperature and rate during the martensitic phase transformation. In addition, the design of the cooling water channel also has an important impact on the structural strength and service life of the mold. Therefore, for hot stamping dies, it is particularly important to implement a reasonable cooling water channel design. At present, the design of cooling water channels mainly depends on the practical experience of engineers. When dealing with stamping parts with complex shapes, the uneven distribution of temperature fields has become a significant problem, which makes it difficult to effectively layout the water channel structure in specific areas, resulting in poor cooling effects in certain areas. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a hot stamping die cooling water channel design technology suitable for cooling parts with complex structural surfaces. The main purpose of this technology is to reduce the time cost in the mold design process and ensure that the designed cooling water channel structure can achieve a more balanced cooling effect to ensure the overall structural strength of the stamping parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for optimizing the design of cooling channels for hot stamping dies based on numerical simulation and machine learning. This technical solution can solve the technical problem of uneven cooling of hot stamping parts with complex structural surfaces.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for optimizing the design of cooling channels of hot stamping dies based on numerical simulation and machine learning, comprising: Obtain the structural parameters and cooling channel layout information of the hot stamping die and build the initial 3D model of the die; Implement mechanical simulation and temperature field simulation of hot stamping process in simulation software to obtain contact pressure distribution data and temperature distribution data of die contact surface; Map the contact pressure to the solid model surface of the mold without water channel, perform static simulation analysis, determine the stress distribution characteristics of the mold, and mark the high-risk areas and general risk areas; Simplify the mechanical model, calculate the yield risk of the main structural parameters of the cooling water channel under different contact pressures, determine the value range of the structural parameters in each area, and establish a structural parameter data set; According to the mold temperature distribution data and the divided areas, the water channels in each area are arranged in combination with the water channel center distance to generate the cooling water channel layout and density data set; The structural parameter data set is fused with the cooling water channel layout and density data set to generate a fused data set; the optimal hypercube sampling strategy is used to sample the fused data set, a simulation parameter combination experiment is designed, and a continuous production simulation experiment is conducted; Extract simulation results, obtain the mold surface unit data at the end of the stable period, and calculate the maximum temperature, average temperature and temperature uniformity of the mold surface; The selected simulation parameter combination and the maximum temperature, average temperature and temperature uniformity of the mold surface are used as training sets and input into the pre-built machine learning model to train the machine learning prediction model; The fused data set is input into the trained machine learning model, and a predictive analysis is performed on each set of cooling water channel structure design parameter combinations to obtain the key evaluation indicators corresponding to each set of design parameter combinations and determine the optimal parameter combination for comprehensive evaluation.

[0007] Beneficial effects of the basic solution: The present invention collects the structural parameters of the original hot stamping die and the layout information of the cooling water channel, pre-processes the acquired data and creates a standardized data set and three-dimensional modeling, thereby ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the data.

[0008] The hot stamping process is simulated using numerical simulation technology to obtain the contact pressure distribution and temperature field distribution information of the die contact interface, thereby revealing potential thermal stress concentration phenomena and material fatigue problems, and identifying high-risk areas in the die. The mechanical models of high-risk areas and general risk areas are simplified, and the yield risk of the main structural parameters of the cooling water channel is calculated to ensure the safety and economy of the design. By determining the value range of the structural parameters, the blindness and arbitrariness in the design process are avoided, and the rationality and reliability of the design are improved.

[0009] The layout and density of cooling channels are designed in combination with temperature distribution data to generate a fusion data set, which contains all relevant parameters and simulation results, providing data support for subsequent simulation parameter combination design experiments.

The simulation result data of the mold part surface unit in the continuous generation simulation experiment is extracted to evaluate the rationality of the cooling channel structure design parameters and ensure the reliability and efficiency of the mold in actual production.

[0010] By using machine learning models to predict key evaluation indicators, the advantages and disadvantages of different design parameter combinations can be quickly evaluated, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the design. Thus, the best cooling water channel optimization scheme can be formulated. Therefore, the present invention comprehensively considers the structural parameters, arrangement mode, and heat dissipation effect of the cooling water channel through numerical simulation and machine learning methods for comprehensive optimization, avoiding the limitations of traditional design methods, improving the cooling efficiency of the hot stamping die and the rationality of the cooling water channel layout, and extending the service life of the die.

[0024] In order to make the technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only partial embodiments of the present invention, which are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should be noted that the technical features or combinations of technical features described in the following embodiments should not be considered isolated, and they can be combined with each other to achieve better technical effects. The same reference numerals appearing in the drawings of the following embodiments represent the same features or components, which can be applied to different embodiments.

[0025] In addition, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the description of the present invention should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0026] Reference numerals: electronic device 500 includes processor 501 , communication interface 502 , memory 503 , and bus 504 .

[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: Reference Figure 1 , a hot stamping die cooling channel optimization design method based on numerical simulation and machine learning, including: Step S1, obtain the structural parameters and cooling water channel layout information of the hot stamping die, including but not limited to the structural dimensions of the die (such as length, width, height), the length, diameter, direction of the water channel and other detailed information to ensure the integrity and accuracy of all initial data. Obtained through design drawings, CAD models or actual measurements. Perform preprocessing steps on the collected data, including data cleaning, removal of redundant information, unified format, etc., to generate a standardized data set to ensure data consistency and accuracy. On this basis, use professional 3D modeling software (such as UG, SolidWorks, etc.) to build a 3D model of the initial die according to the preprocessed standard digital data set.

[0028] Step S2, implementing mechanical simulation and temperature field simulation of the hot stamping process in the simulation software to obtain contact pressure distribution data and temperature distribution data of the die contact surface, including: Step S21, defining contact pairs, defining contact pairs between the mold and the workpiece in the simulation model, and setting related contact properties, such as friction coefficient, contact stiffness, thermal conductivity, etc.

[0029] Step S22, setting simulation parameters such as stamping speed, stamping force, mold preheating temperature, etc. according to actual conditions of the hot stamping process.

[0030] Step S23, using thermal-structural coupling analysis and explicit dynamics solver to perform simulation. During the simulation, the software will calculate the contact pressure distribution and temperature distribution between the mold and the workpiece.

[0031] Step S24: After the simulation is finished, the post-processing phase is entered, where contact pressure and temperature are selected as result variables, and corresponding distribution diagrams are generated.

[0032] Step S25, exporting the simulation result data for subsequent analysis.

[0033] In this embodiment, the above simulation result data is obtained by performing thermal-structural coupled analysis (Thermal-Structural Coupled AnalySiS) and explicit dynamics solver (Explicit DynamicS) using ANSYS.

[0034] In step S3, the contact pressure is mapped to the surface of the solid model of the water channel-free mold, and a static simulation analysis is performed to determine the stress distribution characteristics of the water channel-free solid model during the stamping process. The post-processing functions of the finite element software (such as contour maps and stress cloud maps) can be used to intuitively identify stress concentration areas. The stress concentration areas are considered high-risk and marked as area 1; other areas are general risks and marked as area 2.

[0035] Step S4, simplify the mechanical model of area 1 and area 2. The simplified model should be able to reflect the main stress conditions of the mold during the stamping process. Calculate the yield risk of the main structural parameters of the cooling water channel (center distance P, diameter D, distance H) under different contact pressures. The yield risk refers to the possibility of yielding (i.e., plastic deformation) of the water channel structure under stress. By calculating the yield risk, determine the value range of the structural parameters of each region, and establish a structural parameter data set.

[0036] Step S5, convert the mold temperature data obtained in step S2 into a cloud map to intuitively display the temperature distribution of the mold; and divide the area according to the water channel center distance P determined in step S4, reasonably layout the water channels in each area, and the water channel layout should ensure that the cooling water can flow evenly through the mold surface to reduce the temperature of the mold and improve its temperature distribution uniformity; generate a cooling water channel layout and density data set, including information such as the location, length and diameter of the water channel.

[0037] Step S6, performing data fusion and simulation experiments, including: Step S61, fusing the structural parameter data set obtained in step S4 with the cooling water channel layout and density data set obtained in step S5 to generate a fused data set, which includes information such as structural parameters, water channel layout and density of the mold.

[0038] Step S62, adopt the optimal hypercube sampling strategy to sample and select the fusion data set, so that the selected sample data can effectively cover the entire parameter space, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the simulation experiment. Design a simulation parameter combination experiment, including: Step S62-1, according to the experimental requirements, determine the number of samples to be N groups. In this embodiment, the number of samples is set to 50 groups to ensure that the dimension matches the number of variables.

[0039] Step S62-2, using the optimal hypercube sampling strategy to sample and select the fused data set, generating 50 sets of simulation parameter combinations to comprehensively reflect the cooling performance of the mold.

[0040] Step S62-3, performing a continuous hot stamping production simulation experiment in the simulation software ANSYS, and calculating the simulation results of the temperature distribution of the mold during the continuous production process.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, steps S3 to S5 mainly involve dividing the regions according to the stress distribution and temperature distribution, and marking the specific regions. Based on comprehensive consideration of factors such as the structural strength, cooling efficiency, and temperature distribution uniformity of the hot stamping die, parameter design and reasonable pipeline layout are performed for different regions to generate corresponding cooling water channel layout and density data sets.

[0042] Step S7: Extract the simulation results of step S6 and obtain the mold surface unit data at the end of the stable period. Calculate the maximum temperature T of the mold surface max , average temperature T ave And temperature uniformity T Dev , and record it as the basis for evaluating the rationality of the cooling water channel design.

[0043] Maximum temperature of mold surface T max Can directly read; the average temperature T of the mold part surface ave The formula is as follows:

[0044] Uniformity of mold part surface T Dev Characterized by temperature standard deviation, the formula is as follows:

[0045] In the formula, is the temperature of the mold surface element i (°C), is the volume of the mold surface unit i (㎥), is the total number of mold surface elements, and the calculation results and simulation parameters are recorded accordingly. Temperature uniformity It reflects the degree of discreteness of the mold surface temperature. The smaller the value, the more uniform the temperature distribution.

[0046] Step S7 is to extract the simulation results in the previous step and obtain the mold part surface data at the end of the stable period. The maximum temperature T of the mold surface max , the average temperature T of the mold part surface ave And the uniformity of the mold part surface temperature T Dev These three parameters are important references for evaluating whether the design is reasonable.

[0047] In step S8, the 50 sets of simulation parameter combinations selected in step S6 and the calculation result data generated in step S7 are used as training sets and input into a pre-built machine learning model, in which artificial neural network (ANN) supervised learning is used.

[0048] In supervised learning, a neural network learns the relationship between input data and the corresponding target output (label), with the ultimate goal of enabling the network to make accurate predictions for new input data.

[0049] The model aims to predict the key evaluation indicator (T max 、T ave 、T Dev ). Through this process, the training of the machine learning prediction model is completed.

[0050] Step S9, input the fused data set of step S6 into the machine learning model that has been trained and has efficient prediction capability in step S8. The data set covers all combinations of optimization parameters. The powerful calculation and analysis functions of the machine learning model are used to predict and analyze each group of cooling water channel structure design parameter combinations, and obtain the key evaluation indicators corresponding to each group of design parameter combinations, including the maximum temperature (T max ), average temperature (T ave ) and temperature deviation (T Dev ). The forecast results are collated and summarized to form a comprehensive key evaluation indicator data set to provide data support for further analysis and optimization decisions.

[0051] Step S10, use the TOPSIS method to sort the evaluation index data set in step S9. This method can systematically compare the advantages and disadvantages of various parameter combinations. Determine the ideal optimal solution and the worst solution for each evaluation index, and then calculate the relative distance between each parameter combination and the ideal optimal solution and the worst solution. By comparing these distances, the comprehensive evaluation score of each parameter combination can be obtained. Sort by score to determine the parameter combination with the best comprehensive evaluation. Perform final processing on the optimal parameter combination, and then formulate the best cooling water channel optimization plan.
