[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0045] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an intelligent control method for plastic production, which is applied to an injection molding process production line; the method includes the following steps S102 to S108. Among them:

[0047] Step S102, obtaining and setting the parameters of each process in the production line with the preset finished product specifications as the target, and constructing a digital twin model of the production line.

[0048] Among them, the preset finished products may include plastic products designed based on customer needs; the parameters of each process in the production line may include equipment parameters of the equipment corresponding to each process on the production line and sensor parameters used to detect the production process.

[0049] Specifically, the finished product specifications may include the size and shape of the plastic product.

[0050] Step S104, when the injection molded product does not match the preset product, a process backtracking strategy is executed based on the specifications of the injection molded product; the process backtracking strategy is used to compare the differences between the injection molded product and the preset product, and determine the production process to be adjusted in the production line based on the differences.

[0051] Specifically, the difference between the injection molded product and the preset product can be clarified based on the specifications of the injection molded product, so that the process causing the difference can be determined as the process to be adjusted.

[0052] Step S106, adjusting the process parameters of the virtual process in the digital twin model corresponding to the production process to be adjusted in a preset manner until the injection molded product in the digital twin model meets the finished product specifications.

[0053] Among them, the preset method can be to gradually adjust the virtual parameters of each corresponding device in the digital twin model according to the preset amplitude, and monitor the difference between the injection molded product in the digital twin model and the preset finished product.

[0054] Step S108: modifying the process parameters of the corresponding process to be adjusted based on the adjusted process parameters of the virtual process.

[0055] The above-mentioned intelligent control method and system for plastic production and manufacturing based on digital twins can ensure that the parameters of each process in the production line meet the manufacturing requirements by pre-setting the finished product specifications of the finished product, and then construct a digital twin model with the same process parameters according to the set production line parameters. Therefore, when the injection molded product produced does not meet the preset finished product specifications, by comparing the differences between the injection molded product and the preset finished product parts, the corresponding problematic process can be found, and the process parameters of the virtual process in the digital twin model are gradually adjusted and the specifications of the injection molded product in the digital twin model are monitored to obtain the process parameters that can produce the finished product specifications of the preset finished product as the process parameters of the actual production line. Then, when the process parameters are set based on experience or the parameters of each process change due to wear, environment, failure and other factors, the process with parameter changes can be effectively determined and the process parameters can be quickly adjusted, avoiding the problem of low efficiency in fault cause detection caused by relying on human experience to judge the cause of unqualified finished products.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the production process includes a mold closing process, a material adding process, a melting process, an injection process, a pressure holding process and a cooling process performed in sequence; Figure 2 As shown, the method further includes the following steps S202 to S206. Among them:

[0057] Step S202, acquiring image data of the injection molded product, and performing grayscale preprocessing on the image data to obtain preprocessed image data.

[0058] Specifically, the contrast of the image is improved by performing grayscale preprocessing to determine clear image edges.

[0059] Step S204, extracting image features of the pre-processed image data, and performing pixel analysis on the image features to obtain specifications of the injection molded product to be inspected.

[0060] Specifically, the area of ​​the image can be determined based on the number of pixels, so that the size and shape of the injection-molded product can be determined based on the image area as the specifications to be inspected for the injection-molded product.

[0061] Step S206, compare the specifications to be inspected with the specifications of the finished product, and execute the process backtracking strategy when the comparison results are different, including: outputting a first prompt message in response to the specifications to be inspected being larger than the specifications of the finished product, and outputting a second prompt message in response to the specifications of the finished product being larger than the specifications to be inspected; the first prompt message is used to indicate that the mold clamping pressure of the mold clamping process is insufficient, the injection pressure of the injection process is excessive, or the cooling water flow of the cooling process is insufficient; the second prompt message is used to indicate that the feeding rhythm of the feeding process is missed, the melting temperature of the melting process is insufficient, the injection pressure of the injection process is insufficient, or the holding pressure of the holding process is insufficient.

[0062] It should be noted that if there is insufficient clamping pressure during the injection molding process, the plastic will seep out of the mold, making the specifications to be inspected larger than the preset specifications of the finished product; if there is excessive injection pressure, it will also cause pressure to seep out from the clamping point of the mold; if there is insufficient cooling water flow, the plastic in the mold may not be cooled completely within the preset cooling time, causing flow, resulting in the specifications to be inspected larger than the finished product specifications.

[0063] Furthermore, if the feeding rhythm is missed, resulting in the feeding amount being less than the used amount, part of the product will be missing, making the preset finished product specifications larger than the specifications to be inspected; if the melting temperature is insufficient, the plastic fluidity is not strong, and the push rod cannot effectively push the molten plastic into the mold, resulting in the preset finished product specifications being larger than the specifications to be inspected; if the injection pressure is insufficient or the holding pressure is insufficient, shrinkage marks, air holes and insufficient filler cannot be avoided, resulting in the preset finished product specifications being larger than the specifications to be inspected.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0065] In response to the first prompt information, the process parameters of the mold closing process, the injection process and the cooling process are checked in sequence; if the check result is normal, a prompt information indicating that the first parameter is to be adjusted is output, otherwise, a prompt information indicating that the parameter is wrong and corresponds to the abnormal production process is output;

[0066] In response to the second prompt information, the feeding process, melting process, injection process and pressure holding process are checked in sequence; if the inspection result is normal, the second parameter adjustment prompt information is output, otherwise the parameter error prompt information corresponding to the abnormal production process is output.

[0067] Among them, the first parameter adjustment prompt information is used to indicate that the original parameters in the mold closing process, injection process or cooling process cannot effectively produce the preset finished product due to environmental, wear and tear problems, and the parameter error prompt information is used to indicate that there is a production process with incorrect parameter settings.

[0068] Furthermore, the second parameter to be adjusted prompt information is used to indicate that the original parameters in the feeding process, melting process, injection process and pressure holding process cannot effectively produce the preset finished product due to environmental, wear and tear and other problems.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the process parameters of the virtual process in the digital twin model corresponding to the production process to be adjusted are adjusted in a preset manner until the injection molded product in the digital twin model meets the finished product specifications:

[0070] Taking the process parameters corresponding to the prompt information of the first parameter to be adjusted as the benchmark and the finished product specifications as the target, the process parameters of the corresponding virtual processes are adjusted in the digital twin model in sequence according to the preset percentages until the injection molded product in the digital twin model meets the finished product specifications;

[0071] Taking the process parameters corresponding to the prompt information of the second parameter to be adjusted as the benchmark and the finished product specifications as the target, the process parameters of the corresponding virtual processes are adjusted in the digital twin model in sequence according to the preset percentages until the injection molded product in the digital twin model meets the finished product specifications.

[0072] The preset percentage is used to indicate the adjustment range.

[0073] Specifically, the correspondence between each process parameter and the injection molded product can be used to determine the specification changes of the injection molded product corresponding to increasing or decreasing the process parameters, and then adjust the process parameters of the virtual process of the digital twin model.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes the following steps S302 to S308. Among them:

[0075] Step S302: If the process parameters of the corresponding virtual processes are adjusted in sequence according to the preset percentages, and the digital twin model still cannot obtain an injection molded product that meets the finished product specifications, a third prompt message is output; the third prompt message is used to indicate mold damage or shear gate defects.

[0076] Step S304, in response to the third prompt information, the pre-processed image data is divided into a plurality of to-be-identified areas according to the different forms of various parts of the injection-molded finished product, and the finished product specification of each to-be-identified area is determined.

[0077] Specifically, the segmented areas are determined by dividing the injection molded product according to the parts.

[0078] Step S306, dividing the preset finished products accordingly, and when it is determined that the finished product specifications of any area to be identified do not correspond to the preset finished products after division, it is determined whether the non-corresponding area to be identified is at the gate position.

[0079] Specifically, when the specifications of the preset finished product and the injection molded finished product are the same, the specifications of the corresponding divided areas to be identified should also be the same, so as to determine that the area to be identified corresponds to the same area divided by the preset finished product.

[0080] Step S308: If yes, output the shear gate defect prompt information, otherwise output the mold damage prompt information.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes the following steps S402 to S406. Among them:

[0082] Step S402 , respectively simulating and designing virtual processes in the digital model corresponding to the equipment structure and sensor position of each production process, to obtain a digital model of the production line.

[0083] Specifically, a production mapping model can be constructed based on the equipment, and values ​​can be assigned to the corresponding mapping model based on the equipment parameters, and then the connection relationship between the equipment in each production process can be established, that is, the algorithm model.

[0084] Step S404, compiling a motion script of a corresponding virtual process based on the parameters of each process to obtain a target model.

[0085] Specifically, the motion relationship of the virtual equipment is displayed by compiling the motion script of each device, and the calculation process corresponding to the motion relationship is obtained based on the algorithm model, thereby obtaining a model that can imitate the production line movements without being connected to the real production line.

[0086] Step S406: Build a data channel between each production process and the virtual process to achieve data synchronization and obtain a digital twin model of the production line.

[0087] Specifically, through data synchronization, the target model is driven to perform the same actions as the real production line to obtain a digital twin model, which is used to monitor and predict the status of the production line.

[0088] It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in order, and these steps can be executed in other orders.
