Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of defect detection, and in particular to a system and method for detecting defects in a high-pressure casting die for a motorcycle housing. Background Art

[0002] Defect detection for high-pressure casting molds primarily focuses on the following aspects: Physically, testing focuses on hardness, density, microstructure, grain size, and the distribution of internal defects (such as pores and cracks); chemically, attention is paid to material composition, alloying element distribution, oxidation level, and impurity content. Commonly used detection methods include X-ray imaging, ultrasonic testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and spectral analysis. While these methods have achieved breakthroughs in detection accuracy and application scope, they still have certain limitations, especially when dealing with complex defect types.

[0003] Traditional defect detection relies primarily on manual visual inspection or single detection methods, such as ultrasonic testing, X-ray testing, and metallographic analysis. These methods suffer from low detection efficiency, high missed detection rates, and insufficient real-time performance, making them unable to meet the modern manufacturing industry's demand for efficient and intelligent detection. Furthermore, because the casting process involves multiple process parameters, such as temperature, flow rate, pressure, and solidification time, defects are often caused by the coupling of multiple factors. The lack of in-depth analysis and traceability of the causes of defects limits the scope for process optimization and quality improvement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mold defect detection system that can achieve high-precision detection of cold shut defects in thin-walled motorcycle housing molds, quantitatively evaluate the metal flow optimization effect, and provide a scientific basis for mold design and process parameter optimization.

The acquisition of static defect data can not only provide a basis for the overall quality assessment of the product, but also provide reference data for subsequent dynamic defect detection. When dynamic defects are subsequently analyzed, static defect data can be used to compare defect locations and defect types, further enhancing the accuracy of defect identification.

[0052] As a critical external structural component, the production quality of motorcycle housings directly impacts the performance and safety of the entire vehicle. Due to the thin wall thickness of motorcycle housings, typically only 2-3mm, improper mold flow path design can lead to defects such as cold shut during the manufacturing process. Cold shut defects not only significantly degrade the material's mechanical properties but can also affect safety and reduce product reliability. Therefore, detecting and preventing cold shut defects is crucial to improving motorcycle housing quality and production efficiency.

[0080] Table 1 shows the detection results of static defects.

[0081] Table 1 Static defect detection results

[0082]

[0083] The embodiment of the present application uses a product data acquisition module to accurately collect hardness, color, shape and ultrasonic data, and combines the static defect detection module to pre-process and analyze the product data, thereby achieving comprehensive detection of surface and internal defects of the product. The hardness detection unit can identify local hardness anomalies, especially for accurate measurement of areas prone to cold shut defects; the color detection unit can effectively identify defects such as color anomalies, cracks and scratches caused by materials or processes by comparing the product standard color based on the color distribution histogram; the shape detection unit uses deformation comparison technology to quickly detect deformation areas and detect product contour deformation that may be caused by cold shut defects, thereby ensuring product dimensional accuracy; the ultrasonic detection unit uses signal processing technology to identify internal defects and detect internal cracks, fractures and other defects that may be caused by cold shut defects, thereby improving the depth and reliability of defect detection. Finally, the static defect data acquisition unit conducts a comprehensive analysis of the above-mentioned types of defects, providing static defect data support for the subsequent precise positioning and high-precision detection of cold shut defects by combining dynamic defect data and comprehensive defect analysis, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent cold shut defect detection.

[0084] Preferably, the material data acquisition module is used to arrange multiple sensors in the first area, the second area and the third area respectively to collect material data; the material data includes: temperature, pressure, flow rate and solidification time;

[0085] The first area is the gate area; the second area is the thin-wall area; and the third area is the end filling area.

[0086] The various sensors include: thermal imaging sensors, ultrasonic sensors and pressure sensors.

[0087] The embodiment of the present application can collect key material data in real time and accurately by rationally arranging thermal imaging sensors, ultrasonic sensors and pressure sensors in the gate area, thin-wall area and end filling area. This multi-area, multi-parameter detection method ensures comprehensive monitoring of material flow and solidification state during the casting process, and improves the accuracy and timeliness of the data. Monitoring of the gate area helps to analyze the initial filling state of the molten metal and ensure flow uniformity; detection of the thin-wall area can identify problems such as flow obstruction and insufficient filling, and prevent the occurrence of cold shut or shrinkage defects; data collection in the end filling area can determine the final filling condition of the molten metal, optimize the solidification sequence, and avoid the occurrence of defects such as pores and shrinkage. Through the collaborative work of multiple sensors, a reliable basis is provided for abnormal area detection and dynamic defect analysis, which improves the accuracy of subsequent dynamic defect detection, thereby improving production stability and reducing defect and scrap rates.

[0088] Preferably, the abnormal region detection module is used to analyze the material data using the abnormal region detection model, identify the material abnormal region, and mark the severity of the material abnormality; filter out the first abnormal region in the material abnormal region according to the preset material abnormality threshold; the abnormal region detection model includes: a material data preprocessing unit, an abnormal feature recognition unit, an abnormal region marking unit and a first abnormal region screening unit; refer to Figure 4 ;

[0090] Specifically, the preprocessing includes denoising, data interpolation and completion, and normalization processing; the denoising eliminates high-frequency noise that may be generated during the acquisition process through wavelet transform or filtering algorithm; the data interpolation and completion uses interpolation method to interpolate and complete missing data points; the normalization processing converts the collected material data to a unified scale.

[0091] The flow obstruction is detected by detecting a sudden drop in flow velocity and / or a flow velocity in a local area that is significantly lower than the normal flow pattern, thereby identifying the obstruction of molten metal filling. The turbulence enhancement is determined by analyzing the flow velocity fluctuation and calculating the flow velocity standard deviation. If the flow velocity standard deviation exceeds the flow velocity standard deviation threshold, it is determined that there is excessive turbulence. The flow velocity standard deviation threshold is obtained based on industry standard data. The filling unevenness is determined by calculating the difference in filling pressure in different areas to determine whether there is insufficient filling and / or filling delay.

[0092] The abnormal area marking unit divides the boundary of the abnormal area and marks the abnormal area according to the abnormal features using edge detection or cluster analysis methods; the first abnormal area screening unit quantifies the severity of the abnormal area according to the degree of deviation of the abnormal features and divides it into slight abnormality, moderate abnormality and severe abnormality; the scores of the abnormal areas are compared, and if the degree of abnormality exceeds the industry standard safety threshold and the abnormal area is close to the thin-wall area and / or the end filling area, it is preferentially marked as the first abnormal area.

[0093] Table 2 shows the performance improvement effect of the abnormal area detection model on dynamic defect detection.

[0094] Table 2 Performance improvement of abnormal area detection model for dynamic defect detection

[0095]

[0096] The embodiment of the present application accurately identifies abnormal areas of materials in the casting process through multi-sensor data fusion, and marks abnormal areas and their severity based on abnormal features such as flow obstruction, turbulence enhancement and uneven filling. Through wavelet transform denoising, data interpolation and normalization processing, the stability and accuracy of the data are improved, thereby enhancing the reliability of abnormality detection. The abnormal areas are further graded and evaluated through preset industry standard abnormality thresholds to ensure that only the first abnormal areas with a greater impact on product quality are screened out, especially high-risk defects near thin-walled areas and / or end filling areas, thereby improving the pertinence and accuracy of screening. Not only does it improve the accuracy of abnormality detection in the casting process, reduce misjudgments and missed judgments, but it can also provide an accurate reference range of abnormal areas for subsequent accurate cold shut defect detection, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent cold shut defect detection.

[0097] Preferably, the dynamic defect detection module is configured to perform dynamic defect detection by calculating a dynamic defect score of the first abnormal area to obtain dynamic defect data; the formula for the dynamic defect score is:

[0101] Specifically, the dynamic defect is a cold shut defect; the preset dynamic defect threshold is set comprehensively based on industry standards and expert experience.

[0102] Table 3 shows the detection results of dynamic defects.

[0103] Table 3 Dynamic defect detection results

[0104]

[0105] The embodiment of the present application calculates a dynamic defect score for the first abnormal region, enabling precise detection of dynamic defects based on the first abnormal region, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of defect identification during the casting process. This dynamic defect scoring formula comprehensively considers key parameters such as temperature, flow rate change rate, filling pressure, and solidification time, thereby enhancing the reliability of defect detection. Furthermore, it classifies defects of different types and degrees based on dynamic defect thresholds and provides defect location data, providing an important basis for subsequent analysis of defect causes and optimization of processes and quality control.

[0106] Preferably, a defect comprehensive analysis module is used to perform defect comprehensive analysis by comparing the static defect data and the dynamic defect data; the defect comprehensive analysis module includes: a defect position comparison unit, a defect influencing factor correlation analysis unit and a defect cause comprehensive analysis unit;

[0107] Among them, the defect position comparison unit compares the static defect position in the static defect data with the dynamic defect position in the dynamic defect data, identifies the overlapping area between the two, and marks it as the cold shut defect position; the defect influencing factor correlation analysis unit calculates the correlation between the product data and the material data in the cold shut defect position and the cold shut defect; the defect cause comprehensive analysis unit identifies the most likely cause of the cold shut defect based on the correlation, and generates a detailed cold shut defect cause analysis report.

[0108] Specifically, the defect position comparison unit uses a spatial matching algorithm, such as KD-Tree search or a matching algorithm based on Euclidean distance, to compare the positions of the two types of defect data and find the overlapping areas between the two. The overlapping parts are marked as "precise defect positions"; for cold shut defect areas that are partially offset but correlated, the morphological expansion method is used to perform expansion matching to ensure maximum coverage of potential defect areas.

[0109] The defect influencing factor association analysis unit adopts a correlation calculation method based on mutual information to evaluate the correlation between each parameter in the product data and the material data and the occurrence of cold shut defects, and obtains a correlation ranking table; sets a correlation threshold to screen out factors that have a greater impact on cold shut defects.

[0110] The defect cause comprehensive analysis unit infers the most likely cause of the cold shut defect based on the dynamic defect severity and historical defect data, and generates a detailed cold shut defect cause analysis report, including the location of the cold shut defect, influencing factors, the most likely cause and improvement suggestions, providing engineers with actionable guidance.

[0111] The embodiment of the present application improves the accuracy of defect detection by fusing static defect data and dynamic defect data, can effectively identify the precise location of cold shut defects, and calculate the key influencing factors of defect occurrence in combination with product data and material data. The spatial matching algorithm and morphological expansion method are used to ensure the accuracy of defect position comparison. At the same time, the correlation calculation method based on mutual information is used to screen out key parameters that have a greater impact on cold shut defects, providing a scientific basis for the analysis of the causes of cold shut defects. Combined with dynamic defect types and historical cold shut defect data, the system can infer the most likely cause of the defect and generate a detailed cold shut defect cause analysis report to provide engineers with improvement suggestions, which will help optimize production processes, reduce defect rates, and improve product quality and production efficiency.

[0112] The embodiment of the present application proposes a defect detection system for high-pressure casting molds for motorcycle shells. Through the product data acquisition module and the material data acquisition module, it realizes comprehensive monitoring of product quality and casting process, ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection data. The static defect detection module can identify defects caused by abnormal hardness, color, shape or internal structure, while the abnormal area detection module accurately identifies abnormal areas of the material based on data such as temperature, pressure, flow rate and solidification time, and screens out key areas that may cause defects, thereby improving the reliability of abnormal detection.
