Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent manufacturing, and specifically to an online quality monitoring method during a sheet metal stamping process. Background Art

[0002] Sheet metal forming is a metalworking technology widely used in the manufacturing industry, which mainly involves the use of dies and presses to shape metal sheets into specific geometric shapes. This method is commonly used in the automotive, aviation, home appliance and construction industries, and can quickly and cost-effectively produce a large number of complex metal parts. During the stamping process, the sheet metal undergoes plastic deformation under pressure and is finally formed into the desired component shape through various stamping operations such as drawing, bending, shearing and punching. This process has high requirements on the performance of the material and requires precise control of process parameters to ensure product quality and structural integrity.

[0003] With the rapid development of the aerospace and automotive industries, lightweighting has become one of the development trends in the transportation field, and the proportion of lightweight materials such as high-strength steel, aluminum alloys and titanium alloys has continued to increase. The stamping process of metal sheets is an important component processing process. During the stamping process, the sheet is prone to defects such as cracking, wrinkling and insufficient strength, resulting in an increase in the scrap rate. The quality of the component during the stamping process is often directly related to the material flow, so it is of great significance to monitor the material flow in the stamping process of the component in real time and realize feedback control. However, the stamping die is often closed, so it cannot be monitored by visual means. The die often works under high temperature and high stress conditions, so it is difficult to arrange sensors inside.

[0072] Sheet metal stamping is a key metal processing technology widely used in the automotive, aviation, home appliance and construction industries. It mainly uses dies and presses to shape metal sheets into specific geometric shapes. With the increasing use of lightweight materials such as high-strength steel, aluminum alloys and titanium alloys, the importance of stamping has become increasingly prominent. However, during the stamping process, the sheet metal is prone to defects such as cracking and wrinkling. These problems are usually directly related to material flow, but due to the closed and high-temperature and high-stress environment of the stamping die, real-time monitoring of material flow through traditional vision or internal sensors is extremely challenging. Therefore, the development of an effective real-time monitoring and feedback control system is crucial to improving component quality and reducing scrap rates.

[0073] This embodiment discloses a method for online quality monitoring during sheet metal stamping. Figure 1 , including the following steps S110-S140:

[0074] S110, collecting the real-time pressing speed and real-time pressing amount of the stamping forming equipment for the target component.

[0075] The method for online quality monitoring during sheet metal stamping process disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a server, and the server includes but is not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, PCs (Personal Computers), etc., and can also be a background server running a method for online quality monitoring during sheet metal stamping process. The server can be implemented as an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0076] Collecting the real-time pressing speed and real-time pressing amount of the stamping equipment for the target component is a key step to ensure production efficiency and product quality. In order to measure the pressing speed and pressing amount, it is necessary to select appropriate sensors. Position sensors are used to measure the position of the die or punch to calculate the pressing amount. Speed ​​sensors directly measure the moving speed of the punch. Although pressure sensors are mainly used to measure pressure, they can also indirectly infer speed and displacement through pressure changes.

[0077] Position sensors are usually installed between a moving part (such as a slide or punch) and a fixed part (such as a press bed). Speed ​​sensors can be installed on the moving part of the punch to monitor its speed in real time. Pressure sensors are installed in areas where the greatest force may be applied, such as near the die contact point.

[0078] Configure the data acquisition system to receive, store and process signals from sensors, and then process and analyze the collected data to support production decisions, including data filtering and smoothing, applying digital filtering technology, eliminating noise and interference, and improving data quality. Extract key features from time series data, such as maximum pressing speed, average speed, total pressing amount, etc.

[0079] S120, inputting the real-time pressing speed and the real-time pressing amount into the quality prediction model to obtain the real-time strain rate and real-time stress of each part of the target component.

[0080] In a possible implementation, before the real-time pressing speed and the real-time pressing amount are input into the quality prediction model to obtain the real-time strain rate and the real-time stress of each part of the target component, the method also includes: a component BP neural network model, wherein the pressing speed and the pressing amount are used as input nodes of the input layer, and the strain rate and the stress are used as output nodes of the output layer; obtaining a preset data set, and dividing the data set into a training set, a validation set, and a test set; using the training set to train the BP neural network model, using the validation set to adjust the parameters of the BP neural network model, and using the test set to evaluate the performance of the BP neural network model to obtain a quality prediction model; integrating the quality prediction model into the monitoring system of the production line, inputting the collected pressing speed and pressing amount in real time, and outputting the predicted strain rate and stress.

[0081] Specifically, in the stamping process, quality prediction using the BP neural network model is an advanced technical means to improve production efficiency and product quality. In the stamping process, quality prediction using the BP neural network model is an advanced technical means to improve production efficiency and product quality. Input layer design, the number of nodes in the input layer should correspond to the number of variables affecting the prediction. In this case, there are two input nodes, corresponding to the real-time pressing speed and the real-time pressing amount, respectively. The number of nodes and the number of layers in the hidden layer are usually determined based on the complexity of the problem and the characteristics of the data. The optimal hidden layer structure and number of nodes can be selected by experiment or by using heuristic methods such as cross-validation. The number of nodes in the output layer should correspond to the number of results to be predicted, namely strain rate and stress, so there should be two output nodes.

[0082] Obtain the data set for training the neural network and perform appropriate preprocessing. First, collect historical production data, including records of pressing speed, pressing amount, strain rate, and stress. Perform data cleaning (remove outliers and missing values), standardize or normalize input and output data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of network training. Divide the entire data set into training set, validation set, and test set. A common ratio is 70% training set, 15% validation set, and 15% test set.

[0083] Train and adjust the neural network model using the training set and validation set. Use the training set to train the BP neural network. During training, adjust the network weights to minimize the prediction error (such as mean square error MSE). Use the validation set to adjust model parameters such as learning rate and batch size, as well as early stopping to avoid overfitting. Use the test set to evaluate the performance of the model. Analyze the prediction accuracy and stability of the model, and perform iterative optimization as needed.

[0084] Integrate the trained model into the production line monitoring system to achieve real-time quality prediction. Integrate the BP neural network model into the existing production monitoring system. Ensure that the model can receive real-time input data and quickly output prediction results. The system receives the pressing speed and pressing amount data of the stamping equipment in real time, predicts the strain rate and stress through the model, and displays this information for the operator to monitor. Adjust production parameters based on the prediction results, such as adjusting the pressing speed or changing the mold settings to optimize product quality.

[0085] In a possible implementation, before the component BP neural network, the method also includes: establishing a three-dimensional model of sheet metal stamping; setting boundary conditions for sheet metal stamping, the boundary conditions including sheet metal material properties, pressing speed range, pressing amount range and friction conditions; running a simulation of the three-dimensional model after setting the boundary conditions, recording the stress rate and stress distribution of the stamped component under different process conditions, as well as the pressing amount and pressing speed under different process conditions; outputting the stress rate, stress distribution, pressing amount and pressing speed to obtain a data set.

[0086] Specifically, before using the BP neural network model to predict the quality of sheet metal stamping, establishing a three-dimensional model of the sheet metal and performing numerical simulation are key steps, which provide the necessary data sets for training the neural network. First, it is necessary to use suitable computer-aided engineering (CAE) software such as Abaqus, ANSYS or SolidWorks to establish a three-dimensional model of sheet metal stamping. Draw the precise three-dimensional geometry of the sheet metal and the mold to ensure that all details such as the stamping location, thickness and shape accurately reflect the design intent. Mesh the three-dimensional model for finite element analysis. The density and type of the mesh (such as tetrahedron or hexahedron) have an important impact on the simulation accuracy and calculation time.

[0087] Input the material properties of the sheet, such as elastic modulus, yield strength, Poisson's ratio, etc. These data can usually be obtained from the material manual. Set the range of pressing speed and pressing amount used in the simulation. These parameters should reflect the conditions in actual production. Set the friction coefficient according to the actual contact conditions between the stamping die and the sheet.

[0088] Then use CAE software to run simulations to analyze stress and strain rate under different process parameters. Run simulations under set boundary conditions and record the stress rate and stress distribution of the sheet during the entire stamping process. Change the pressing speed and pressing amount and repeat the simulation to observe the impact of these changes on the stamping results.

[0089] After the simulation is completed, collect and output the required data sets, which will be used to train the BP neural network model. Extract data such as stress rate, stress distribution, pressing amount and pressing speed from the CAE software. Format the extracted data, such as saving it as a CSV or Excel file, for subsequent processing and analysis.

[0090] The real-time pressing speed and real-time pressing amount are input into the quality prediction model to obtain the real-time strain rate and real-time stress of each part of the target component, which are calculated by the following formula:

[0091]

[0092] σ(ε ′,ε,T)=σ y (ε ′ ,T)+(K(T)·ε n )·(1+C·log(ε ′ ))

[0093] Among them, ε is the real-time strain rate, H is the thickness change rate of the target component per unit time, h is the current thickness of the target component, v is the real-time pressing speed, σ(ε',ε,T) is the real-time stress, σ y (∈,T) is the yield stress, K(T) is the hardening coefficient, ∈ is the accumulated strain, n is the hardening exponent, C is the rate sensitivity coefficient, and T is the material temperature.

[0094] The strain rate (∈) is the rate of change of material deformation per unit time, which is defined as the ratio of the thickness change rate (H) to the current thickness (h). In the actual stamping process, the real-time pressing speed (v) of the punch can be approximately equivalent to the thickness change rate (H).

[0095] The stress model uses a classic plastic hardening model with an additional term for strain rate sensitivity. In this model, the yield stress σ y It can be determined by experimental data and is usually related to the strain rate and temperature of the material. The hardening coefficient K(T) describes the hardening behavior of the material after plastic deformation and is usually obtained through material testing. The hardening exponent n describes the degree of nonlinearity of the hardening behavior. The Clog(∈′) term takes into account the rate dependence of the material, that is, how the stress response of the material changes with the change of the deformation rate. By integrating these physical models and material parameters, the material stress state during the stamping process can be accurately predicted, thereby achieving better quality control and optimization in the production process.

[0096] S130, judging whether the stamping forming equipment causes cracking or wrinkling of the target component based on the real-time strain rate, and judging whether the component strength of the target component reaches the preset strength standard based on the real-time stress

[0097] In one possible implementation, whether the stamping equipment causes cracking or wrinkling of the target component is determined based on the real-time strain rate, specifically including: determining the critical strain rate of the target component; determining whether the real-time strain rate is greater than or equal to the critical strain rate, if it is determined that the real-time strain rate is greater than or equal to the critical strain rate, then it is determined that the stamping equipment will cause cracking or wrinkling of the target component.

[0098] Specifically, it is a key quality control process to determine whether the stamping equipment will cause cracking or wrinkling of the target component based on the judgment of real-time strain rate. The critical strain rate refers to the maximum allowable deformation rate at which the component begins to crack or wrinkle during the stamping process. The behavior of the material at different strain rates can be measured under controlled experimental conditions through material mechanics tests (such as tensile tests). Observe at which strain rate the material begins to show signs of cracking or wrinkling. Or analyze the data recorded in previous production, especially those cases known to cause cracking or wrinkling, to estimate the critical strain rate. It is also possible to combine material science and engineering experience to determine a safe strain rate range to avoid cracking and wrinkling.

[0099] Once the real-time strain rate data and the predetermined critical strain rate are available, a comparison can be made and a warning threshold can be set in the monitoring system. When the real-time strain rate reaches or exceeds the critical strain rate, the system issues a warning. When the system detects an excessively high strain rate, it automatically takes measures, such as slowing down the pressing speed or suspending the operation, to prevent damage to the component.

[0100] In a possible implementation, judging whether the component strength of the target component reaches a preset strength standard based on the real-time stress specifically includes: determining a stress threshold corresponding to the preset strength standard of the target component based on the yield strength and tensile strength of the target component; judging whether the real-time stress is greater than or equal to the stress threshold, and if it is determined that the real-time stress is greater than or equal to the stress threshold, then determining that the component strength of the target component reaches the preset strength standard.

[0101] Specifically, during the stamping process, it is crucial to ensure that the strength of the target component meets the preset standard. This requires a series of steps to monitor the real-time stress and compare it with the preset strength standard. First, the preset strength standard is determined based on the material properties of the target component, such as yield strength and tensile strength. Through material mechanics tests, such as standard tensile tests, the yield strength (that is, the minimum stress at which the material begins to deform permanently) and tensile strength (that is, the maximum stress that the material can withstand before breaking) of the material are obtained. Based on the yield strength and tensile strength obtained, a safe stress threshold is determined. Usually, this threshold is set below the yield strength to ensure that the component does not undergo permanent deformation during operation.

[0102] The collected real-time stress data is analyzed and compared with the preset stress threshold. The monitored stress data is continuously compared with the preset stress threshold through real-time monitoring software or system. If the monitored stress data is greater than or equal to the preset stress threshold, the system should issue a warning, indicating that the strength of the component has reached or exceeded the preset standard, and there may be a safety risk. Once it is determined that the real-time stress exceeds the preset standard, take immediate measures to avoid possible component damage or failure.

[0103] S140: If it is determined that the stamping equipment causes cracking or wrinkling of the target component, or the component strength of the target component does not meet the preset strength standard, the parameters of the stamping equipment are adjusted.

[0104] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the stamping equipment causes cracking or wrinkling of the target component, or the component strength of the target component does not meet the preset strength standard, the parameters of the stamping equipment are adjusted, specifically including: determining the component yield of the target component based on the stamping simulation results for the target component; judging whether the component yield is greater than or equal to the preset yield; if it is determined that the component yield is less than the preset yield, adjusting the pressure distribution of the stamping equipment based on the material properties and thickness of the target component to make the pressure distribution of the stamping equipment uniform.

[0105] Specifically, according to the computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, stamping simulation is performed, and according to the design of the target component, an accurate three-dimensional model is established, and material properties and thickness data are input. The initial conditions of the simulation are configured, including pressure distribution, punch speed, die temperature, etc. The simulation is performed to predict the material behavior during the stamping process, especially focusing on stress, strain, and possible defect occurrence areas (such as cracking or wrinkling).

[0106] The simulation results are used to evaluate the yield of the component, i.e. the proportion of defect-free components. The simulation results are analyzed in detail to determine the yield of the component under the current pressure distribution. The yield obtained from the simulation is compared with the preset yield standard.

[0107] If the simulated yield is lower than the preset standard, the pressure distribution needs to be adjusted to improve the quality of the component. Based on the problem areas found in the simulation, identify the causes of uneven pressure distribution, such as improper die design, uneven material thickness, or inappropriate pressing speed. Adjust the die structure or change the settings of the stamping equipment as needed, such as adjusting the alignment of the punch, changing the punch speed, or optimizing the lubrication conditions. Use software tools to redesign the pressure distribution to ensure that the force applied to the component is more uniform. This may involve adjusting the geometry of the punch, changing the buffer material, or adjusting the support structure of the die. After adjusting the pressure distribution, rerun the stamping simulation to check how the new pressure distribution affects the stress state and yield of the component. Analyze the simulation results after the improvement measures to confirm whether the yield meets or exceeds the preset standards.

[0112] The processing module 202 is used to adjust the parameters of the stamping equipment if it is determined that the stamping equipment causes cracking or wrinkling of the target component, or the component strength of the target component does not meet the preset strength standard.

[0113] In a possible implementation, the processing module 202 is used to construct a BP neural network model, wherein the pressing speed and pressing amount are used as input nodes of the input layer, and the strain rate and stress are used as output nodes of the output layer.

[0120] The processing module 202 is used to output the stress rate, stress distribution, pressing amount and pressing speed to obtain a data set.

[0122]

[0123] σ(ε ′ ,ε,T)=σ y (ε ′ ,T)+(K(T)·ε n )·(1+C·log(ε ′ ))

[0124] Among them, ε is the real-time strain rate, H is the thickness change rate of the target component per unit time, h is the current thickness of the target component, v is the real-time pressing speed, σ(ε',ε,T) is the real-time stress, σ y (∈,T) is the yield stress, K(T) is the hardening coefficient, ∈ is the accumulated strain, n is the hardening exponent, C is the rate sensitivity coefficient, and T is the material temperature.

[0129] In a possible implementation, the processing module 202 is used to determine the component yield rate of the target component according to the stamping simulation result of the target component.

[0130] The judgment module 203 is used to judge whether the component yield rate is greater than or equal to a preset yield rate.
