[0002] Coating technology has been widely used in many industrial fields, especially in the fields of automobile manufacturing, aerospace and electronic product coating. The uniformity and quality of the coating directly affect the performance and service life of the product. In order to ensure the functionality and decorative requirements of the coating, electrostatic spraying technology has gradually become the mainstream of the industry due to its efficient material utilization and coating consistency. This technology evenly distributes the coating material on the target surface through precise control of the electrostatic agent and the spray flow rate, thus forming a high-quality coating.

[0003] Existing electrostatic spray systems generally use fixed parameter settings or simple proportional control methods to adjust the spray flow rate and coating concentration. These systems usually rely on traditional open-loop or single feedback control methods to achieve coating uniformity by manually adjusting parameters such as spray pressure, valve opening and coating distance. However, these methods have poor adaptability to environmental disturbances and nonlinear behavior of the system, which can easily lead to unstable coating concentration, thus affecting product quality.

[0004] In the prior art, although some systems attempt to improve coating uniformity by adding monitoring modules or improving control algorithms, they still have difficulty coping with coating quality control issues in complex environments due to the lack of real-time dynamic modeling capabilities and the accuracy of closed-loop control. For example, when external disturbances or process parameters change, traditional control systems cannot respond quickly and dynamically adjust the spray parameters, resulting in coating concentration deviations exceeding the allowable range. Therefore, the prior art urgently needs an automated control system that can monitor coating concentration and uniformity in real time, and dynamically adjust the spray flow and pressure according to the concentration error, so as to further improve the coating quality and system adaptability.

Through the above detailed description, the composition, functions and key technical principles of the data acquisition and monitoring module are fully revealed, providing a technical basis for the system's high-precision measurement and coating control.

[0049] The above detailed description fully reveals the composition, functions and key technical principles of the data acquisition and monitoring module, providing a technical basis for the high-precision measurement and coating control of the system. Data processing and dynamic modeling module: First of all, the data processing and dynamic modeling module plays a core supporting role in the system. By cleaning and converting the original data and modeling the multi-dimensional dynamic characteristics, it realizes the accurate characterization and prediction of the state of the target object. This module needs to ensure the integrity and quality of the input data, and at the same time, through appropriate dynamic modeling algorithms, capture the complex patterns of data changes over time, and provide reliable support for subsequent decision-making and optimization. In practice, it is necessary to consider the diversity, timing and potential nonlinear relationships of the data to ensure that the module can flexibly adapt to the needs of multiple scenarios and has a certain degree of robustness.

[0050] In this embodiment, the technology implementation of the data processing module is as follows: Data cleaning and preprocessing In view of the diversity and incompleteness of the original data, the data is first cleaned and preprocessed, including missing value filling, outlier detection and processing, and data type conversion. In the process of missing value filling, a comprehensive method based on interpolation algorithm and feature correlation of adjacent time points is adopted to ensure the accuracy of the filling results. The outlier detection part combines statistical methods (such as the 3σ criterion) and machine learning anomaly detection algorithms (such as isolation forests) for joint analysis to ensure that outliers can be efficiently identified. Data type conversion is based on the requirements of the target modeling algorithm. Discrete variables are processed by one-hot encoding, and continuous variables are normalized or standardized to reduce the impact of data of different scales on model results.

[0051] Data feature extraction and dimensionality reduction The extraction of data features is an important basis for modeling. Through principal component analysis (PCA) and feature importance analysis, key features that can explain the trend of major data changes are retained, while redundant or noise features are eliminated. In addition, statistical feature extraction methods based on time window sliding (such as mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) and frequency domain feature extraction (such as fast Fourier transform) are combined to further enrich the feature dimension.

[0057] In order to improve the flexibility and robustness of modeling, the idea of ​​ensemble learning (such as random forest and gradient boosting tree) is also combined to further optimize the prediction accuracy through model fusion.

[0058] Dynamic model update mechanism The dynamic nature of the model is the core concept of this module. To ensure that the model adapts to real-time changes in data, a real-time training update strategy based on sliding windows is proposed: The data within the sliding window is used for incremental training, enabling the model to capture the latest dynamic changes.

[0059] The prediction accuracy of the model is evaluated regularly, and when the model performance deteriorates, a retraining mechanism is triggered.

The visualization part provides time series prediction curves, comparison charts of actual values ​​and predicted values, and model error distribution charts.

[0061] Time Series Modeling Formula: The basic form of the ARIMA model is as follows:

[0062] in, Indicates time point The target variable, and denote the autoregressive and moving average parameters, respectively. is the white noise term.

Its core idea is to transform the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the system into linear behavior on the sliding surface by constructing the sliding surface to achieve fast and stable tracking control. This module needs to consider both the robustness and practicality of the sliding mode control. Especially in practical engineering, it is necessary to suppress chattering through appropriate optimization while ensuring the balance between control accuracy and system response performance.

It is responsible for converting the control instructions calculated by the controller into specific execution actions, and monitoring and adjusting the execution status through a real-time feedback mechanism. This module needs to ensure the dynamic response performance of the actuator, and at the same time achieve precise state adjustment through the feedback loop to deal with the uncertainty and external interference problems in the nonlinear system. In the process, it is necessary to focus on the dynamic characteristics of the actuator, the hysteresis of signal transmission, and the stability and robustness of the feedback control to ensure that the overall performance of the system reaches the expected goal.

[0084] In this embodiment, the technical implementation of the actuator and feedback control module is as follows: Actuators and drives In this embodiment, the actuator uses a high-precision servo mechanism, which includes the following key parts: Execution unit: The servo motor is the core execution unit. It uses a high-precision position sensor to achieve precise adjustment of the angle or position, and combines it with a power amplifier circuit to improve the driving force output capability.

It is mainly responsible for real-time monitoring of the uniformity and quality of the coating thickness, and for early warning and handling when an abnormality occurs. The module collects coating parameter data in real time through sensors, and combines algorithm analysis to evaluate the uniformity of the coating. For abnormal situations, the module can automatically identify the type of abnormality and take corresponding treatment measures to ensure the stability of the coating quality and the controllability of the process. In practical applications, the module needs to have high-precision monitoring capabilities, fast-response exception handling capabilities, and strong environmental adaptability.
