Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of workpiece heat control, and specifically to a workpiece local heat control method based on deep learning. Background Art

[0002] In the die-casting and injection molding production processes, temperature control is crucial to improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality and equipment safety, especially the distribution of workpiece and mold surface temperature. Due to the differences in temperature distribution of each workpiece and mold, it is often necessary to quickly and accurately adjust the temperature of certain areas to ensure the stability of the production process and the consistency of the product. However, in a complex production environment, how to accurately adjust the control parameters based on the temperature data collected by the thermal imager to ensure that the temperature of a specific area meets the requirements while maintaining the stability of the temperature in other areas is still a challenge. At the same time, with the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, adaptive control methods based on neural networks have gradually become a research hotspot in the field of temperature control.

[0003] Traditional temperature control methods usually rely on experience or rule control, but when faced with complex temperature distribution and multi-variable interactions, it is often difficult to provide sufficient accuracy and flexibility. For example, in some high-precision die-casting production, the temperature control accuracy of traditional methods can only reach ±5°C, while the actual production accuracy required is ±2°C, which leads to a product defective rate of more than 10%. At the same time, traditional workpiece local heat control methods mainly rely on empirical formulas and manual adjustments, which are difficult to achieve precise control, and there are also problems such as low control accuracy, slow response speed, and poor adaptability to workpiece shape and material. Therefore, we propose a workpiece local heat control method based on deep learning to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a local heat control method for a workpiece based on deep learning, so as to solve the problem that the traditional temperature control method proposed in the above background technology usually relies on experience or rule control, but when faced with complex temperature distribution and the interaction of multiple variables, it is often difficult to provide sufficient accuracy and flexibility. At the same time, the traditional local heat control method of the workpiece mainly relies on empirical formulas and manual adjustment, which is difficult to achieve precise control, and there are also problems such as low control accuracy, slow response speed, and poor adaptability to workpiece shape and material.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for local heat control of a workpiece based on deep learning, comprising the following steps: Step 1, preparing neural network data: using a thermal imager to photograph the object to be inspected to obtain the overall temperature distribution diagram of its system; Step 2, training the neural network: taking the control parameter v as input, and using its label (T s1 , T s2) as output, train a dual-output deep learning model; this scheme recommends using a 7-layer network structure deep learning model; Step 3, randomly generate control parameters, and select the optimal parameters based on the prediction results of the neural network: When performing small-scale temperature control, first record the temperature T of the s1 area and the s2 area at this time s1,pre and T s2,pre , and then randomly generate 1000 sets of control parameters v random = {v 1 , v 2 , ..., v 1000}, these parameters are random within a given control range and cover possible temperature control scenarios; Step 4, thermal control strategy formulation: feedforward control based on model prediction, feedback control and closed-loop optimization, and intelligent decision-making and multi-objective optimization; Step 5, real-time monitoring and adjustment: monitoring system construction, anomaly detection and processing, and online optimization and update.

At this time, the thermal imager will automatically record the temperature data of each point in the image, and at the same time, according to specific needs, the thermal image is divided into two areas: area s1 and area s2, area s1 is an area where the temperature needs to be precisely controlled; area s2 is an area where a stable temperature is expected; on this basis, the average temperature values ​​T of the two areas are calculated respectively. s1 and T s2 , and use it as the temperature value of each area; at the same time, record the corresponding hot and cold water pipe control parameter set: v = {(q i , p i , t i ,θ i )|i∈{1, 2, ..., n}} where q represents flow rate, p represents pressure, t represents temperature, θ represents valve opening, and n represents the number of hot and cold water pipes involved in the regulation.

[0007] Preferably, the flow, pressure, temperature and valve opening of each hot and cold water pipe in step 1 will affect the temperature distribution of the target area; since multiple hot and cold water pipes work together in the area, the temperature of the target area is the result of the comprehensive effect of the control parameters of these pipes; therefore, under different control parameter combinations, the temperature changes of the target area are recorded, and 20,000 sets of data are collected to generate the corresponding data set: where v i represents the i-th group of control parameters, and They respectively represent the temperature values ​​of the s1 area and the s2 area corresponding to the i-th group.

[0008] Preferably, the following architecture is adopted in the step 2: the first layer: convolution layer, including 30 one-dimensional convolution kernels of size 3, and the activation function is ReLU; the second layer: convolution layer, including 60 one-dimensional convolution kernels of size 6, and the activation function is ReLU; the third layer: pooling layer, using maximum pooling, the kernel size is 2, and the step size is 3; the fourth layer: convolution layer, including 120 one-dimensional convolution kernels of size 3, and the activation function is ReLU; the fifth layer: fully connected layer, the output is 128 neurons, and the activation function is ReLU; the sixth layer: fully connected layer, the output is 2 neurons, and the activation function is linear.

[0011] Preferably, in step four, the trained deep learning model is used to predict the temperature distribution of the workpiece at a future moment, and the control parameters such as the power of the heating equipment and the flow rate of the cooling system are adjusted in advance according to the prediction results to achieve early intervention of the local heat of the workpiece; the actually measured temperature data is compared with the model prediction results, the deviation value is calculated, and the control parameters are adjusted according to the deviation value to form a closed-loop feedback system, so that the local temperature of the workpiece is always kept within the target range through continuous feedback and adjustment; considering multiple optimization objectives, such as ensuring that the local temperature of the workpiece meets the process requirements while minimizing energy consumption and equipment loss, the deep learning model is combined with a multi-objective optimization algorithm, such as a genetic algorithm, a particle swarm optimization algorithm, etc., to formulate an optimal heat control strategy.
