[0020] This application provides an engineering material extrusion control system based on performance constraints, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: The performance analysis data acquisition module 10 is used to connect to a performance analysis platform to acquire performance analysis data of engineering materials, including material viscosity, temperature-fluidity relationship, pressure-deformation relationship, and material composition-performance relationship. By connecting to the performance analysis platform and acquiring the performance analysis data of engineering materials, the platform—a tool for analyzing and evaluating the performance of engineering materials—typically integrates multiple technologies to collect, analyze, and visualize material performance data. Specifically, after connecting to the performance analysis platform, users can obtain the aforementioned performance analysis data by inputting specific material information and test conditions. Material viscosity refers to the internal friction property of engineering materials (fluids), i.e., the magnitude of internal resistance during material flow. In engineering materials, viscosity affects the material's fluidity and processing performance. The performance analysis platform provides data support for adjusting and controlling production processes. The temperature-fluidity relationship describes the material's flow properties at different temperatures. Temperature changes directly affect the molecular motion and viscosity of the material. The performance analysis platform can monitor the impact of temperature changes on material flowability in real time, affecting its processing and molding properties, helping engineers optimize processing temperatures and improve production efficiency. The pressure-deformation relationship reflects the degree of deformation of a material under external force, which is crucial for predicting its performance in actual use. The performance analysis platform measures the deformation of engineering materials by applying different pressures, providing detailed data for material mechanical property analysis. The material composition-performance relationship refers to the influence of each component in the material on its properties. Different combinations of components lead to differences in the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the material. The performance analysis platform can reveal the relationships between these components by analyzing the chemical composition, microstructure, and performance data of the material, facilitating further quality control of engineering materials.

[0021] The constraint performance determination module 20 is used to perform data stability probability analysis based on the performance analysis data. Based on the data trend stability probability, it determines the constraint performance, which refers to performance parameters whose data trend stability probability exceeds a preset range. Statistical methods are used to perform data stability probability analysis on the acquired engineering material performance analysis data to assess its trend stability. This includes analyzing the distribution, trend, and fluctuation range of data points to determine the stability and reliability of the material performance analysis data. Based on the data stability probability analysis results, performance parameters whose data trend stability probability exceeds a preset range are identified. These parameters are used to determine whether the performance parameters are in an ideal stable state. For example, when the data trend stability probability of a certain performance parameter is lower than the preset minimum stability probability, it means that the data of that parameter fluctuates greatly and is unstable, which may affect the processing quality or performance of the material, and is considered a constraint performance. Similarly, if the data trend stability probability of a certain performance parameter is higher than the preset maximum stability probability, it may also mean that the data is too stable and lacks necessary flexibility or adaptability. Determining constraint performance helps identify key parameters that need special control during the material extrusion process. By optimizing and improving constraint performance, the processing quality, performance, and production stability and reliability of engineering materials can be improved.

[0022] The parameter decomposition module 30 is used to decompose the extrusion control process into parameters. It calculates the support relationships of the decomposed parameters using the process target results to obtain the core control parameters of the process. These core control parameters are process control parameters whose support meets the screening requirements. Specifically, the extrusion control process involves detailed analysis of each key step and stage, breaking down and classifying the various parameters involved, including parameters from each stage such as raw material preparation, extrusion molding, and cooling and sizing, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and cooling rate. The support relationships of the decomposed parameters are calculated using the process target results, i.e., these parameters are quantified and evaluated. Based on the expected extruded product quality, production efficiency, and other targets, the contribution and influence of each parameter in achieving these targets are calculated. By performing support relationship calculations on decomposed parameters, we can identify those parameters that have a significant impact on achieving process objectives, namely the core process control parameters. These core process control parameters not only meet the screening requirements in terms of support, but also have high controllability and adjustability in actual operation. By adjusting these parameters, we can effectively optimize the extrusion control process and improve product quality and production efficiency.

[0023] The mapping relationship establishment module 40 is used to establish the mapping relationship between the constraint performance and the core process control parameters, and to configure process optimization variables. It associates the determined constraint performance with the core process control parameters, clarifies their mutual influence and correspondence, and selects and sets variables for process optimization according to actual needs. These variables are typically those that have a significant impact on the constraint performance and are easy to adjust and control in actual operation; these are the process optimization variables. This allows for a better understanding and control of the entire extrusion process. Specifically, it analyzes the relationship between constraint performance and core process control parameters, representing it in the form of a mapping table or mathematical model. When a constraint performance changes, the relevant core process control parameters can be quickly identified, and corresponding adjustment strategies can be determined. Based on the mapping relationship, core process control parameters with significant potential for improving constraint performance are identified. The adjustment range and limitations of these parameters are analyzed to determine their reasonable value ranges. These parameters are set as process optimization variables, and corresponding adjustment strategies and optimization objectives are formulated. By configuring process optimization variables, the extrusion process can be improved more specifically, enhancing product quality and performance.

[0024] The extrusion operation process control module 50 is used to optimize control parameters based on the process optimization variables, aiming to maximize the control objective, obtain extrusion control information, and send it to the control center for extrusion operation process control. Utilizing the previously determined process optimization variables, and guided by maximizing the control objective (such as improving product quality, increasing production efficiency, and reducing energy consumption), the control parameters of the extrusion process are optimized to obtain extrusion control information, which is then input to the control center to achieve extrusion operation process control. The control center is the core command system of the extrusion operation process, responsible for receiving and executing this control information. Upon receiving the extrusion control information, it automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the extrusion equipment to ensure that the extrusion process proceeds according to the optimized parameters. Through this process, refined control of the extrusion operation process can be achieved, reducing production costs and energy consumption, and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0025] The performance-constrained engineering material extrusion control system according to embodiments of the present invention addresses the technical problems of existing engineering material extrusion control systems, such as the difficulty in real-time monitoring and precise control of key parameters during the extrusion process, leading to unstable product quality and low production efficiency. The system achieves automatic adjustment of extrusion parameters, thereby improving product quality stability and production efficiency. The performance-constrained engineering material extrusion control system includes: a performance analysis data acquisition module 10, a constraint performance determination module 20, a decomposition parameter calculation module 30, a mapping relationship establishment module 40, and an extrusion operation process control module 50.

[0026] The specific configuration of the performance analysis data acquisition module 10 will be described in detail below. The performance analysis data acquisition module 10 may further include: constructing a twin simulation module inserted into the performance analysis platform; using the twin simulation module as independent variables (temperature, pressure, and material composition ratio) to perform target quantity tests on material viscosity, flowability, deformation, and material stability, and recording the simulation test data. Utilizing digital twin and simulation technology, a twin simulation module is constructed to perform a more comprehensive and accurate analysis of the performance of engineering materials. The twin simulation module can perform target quantity tests such as material viscosity, flowability, deformation, and material stability based on set independent variables (such as temperature, pressure, and material composition ratio), thereby acquiring simulation test data. Specifically, the twin simulation module will simulate the material extrusion process in a virtual environment based on input parameters such as temperature, pressure, and material composition ratio, and record and analyze the material's performance under different conditions in real time. By adjusting these independent variables, the changing trends of material performance can be observed and analyzed, thereby finding the optimal material formulation and process parameters, and recording them as simulation test data. Data fitting of independent variables and target quantities is performed separately to obtain the influence relationships. Data fitting is performed on independent variables (including temperature, pressure, material composition ratio, etc.) and target quantities (including material viscosity, flowability, deformation, material stability, etc.) to obtain the influence relationships between them. Specifically, through data fitting, the mathematical relationship between independent variables and target quantities is obtained, which helps to predict the changing trend of target quantities under different independent variable conditions. The mapping relationship between the influence relationships, independent variables, and target quantities is established to construct the performance analysis data of the engineering material. Establishing the mapping relationship between the influence relationships, independent variables, and target quantities means linking the influence relationships, independent variables, and target quantities in a clear way. Constructing the performance analysis data of the engineering material means integrating all the above information to form a comprehensive and systematic dataset, including the original experimental data, the fitted influence relationships, the mapping relationships, and the performance analysis results derived therefrom.

[0027] The specific configuration of the constraint performance determination module 20 will be described in detail below. The constraint performance determination module 20 further includes: performing stability probability analysis based on the adjustment step size and influence relationships of the independent variables to determine the stable trend of the data. The stability probability analysis based on the adjustment step size and influence relationships of the independent variables to determine the stable trend of the data, wherein the adjustment step size of the independent variables refers to the increment or decrement used when changing the independent variables (such as temperature, pressure, material composition ratio, etc.) in the experiment. The size of the adjustment step size directly affects the accuracy and resolution of the experimental data. An excessively large step size may lead to excessively drastic data changes that are difficult to analyze, while an excessively small step size may increase experimental costs and time. Specifically, using these influence relationships and the adjustment step size of the independent variables, a series of data points are obtained, and stability probability analysis is performed on them to calculate the stability probability of the data trend. The stability probability refers to the probability that a data point fluctuates within a certain range without significant change; it reflects the stability and reliability of the data trend. Trend segmentation based on the stable trend of the data includes regular trend regions and abnormal drop regions. Regular trend regions are stable development regions that match the influencing relationships, while abnormal drop regions are regions where the development trend direction changes and does not match the influencing relationships. Trend segmentation based on the stable trend of the data is an important step in data analysis, used to divide the overall trend into different regions or stages. Specifically, trend segmentation can be performed on the stable trend of the data using moving averages, filtering algorithms, or cluster analysis. Regular trend regions refer to regions that match known influencing relationships and exhibit stable development characteristics; abnormal drop regions refer to regions that do not match the influencing relationships and where the development trend direction changes significantly. The constraint performance is determined based on the segmentation nodes of the regular trend regions and abnormal drop regions. The dividing points between regular trend regions and abnormal drop regions are key points where significant changes occur in data trends. Within regular trend regions, data develops steadily according to the expected influence relationship; while abnormal drop regions indicate that the data trend has changed in ways that do not meet expectations. By analyzing the location, characteristics, and corresponding changes in independent and target variables of these dividing points, the specific parameters and conditions of constraint performance can be determined. Constraint performance usually refers to the performance limits or restrictions that engineering materials can achieve under specific conditions. For example, in material strength testing, dividing points may correspond to the points where the material begins to fracture, thus determining the maximum bearing capacity of the material.

[0028] The specific configuration of the decomposition parameter calculation module 30 will be described in detail below. The decomposition parameter calculation module 30 further includes: acquiring the control parameters and process target results of the extrusion control process. The control parameters are parameters that the control center can adjust and control, and the process target results are target parameters used to evaluate the extrusion quality of process nodes. By acquiring and controlling these key parameters, the control center can achieve precise control of the extrusion process, thereby ensuring that product quality and production efficiency reach their optimal state. Real-time monitoring and evaluation of the process target results also helps to promptly identify and solve problems, further improving the stability and reliability of the production process. Based on the control parameters of the extrusion control process and the process target results, an influence relationship analysis is performed to obtain influence relationship coefficients. The influence relationship coefficient represents the degree of influence between the control parameters and the process target results. The sign of the influence relationship coefficient tells us whether the parameter has a positive or negative impact on the result, while the magnitude of the coefficient reflects the strength of the influence. Based on the influence relationship coefficients, the support level is obtained, screening requirements are set, and control parameters whose support meets the screening requirements are taken as the core control parameters of the process. These influence coefficients are used to calculate support, which measures the importance of a control parameter in influencing the process's target outcome. Specifically, support can be calculated based on the absolute or relative value of the influence coefficient to reflect the overall degree of influence of the parameter on the target outcome. After obtaining the support, we need to set screening criteria, which should consider multiple factors, including the parameter's adjustability, the degree of influence on the target outcome, and the cost required to implement control. For example, a support threshold can be set, and only control parameters that exceed this threshold are considered to have sufficient support. Control parameters that meet the support screening criteria are then used as core control parameters of the process.

[0029] The specific configuration of the decomposition parameter calculation module 30 will be described in detail below. The decomposition parameter calculation module 30 further includes: extracting a historical case dataset based on the control parameters of the extrusion control process and the process target result. According to the control parameters and process target result of the extrusion control process, relevant data records are collected and organized from past extrusion production processes. These data record the process target results obtained under different control parameter settings. This historical data is used to analyze and understand the relationship between control parameters and process target results, providing data support for optimizing the extrusion control process. A search precision constraint value is set, and a search is performed from the historical case dataset to determine the target case dataset. The search constraint value can be a specific numerical value or a specific condition, reflecting our requirements for the accuracy of the target cases. Based on the set search precision constraint value, a search is performed in the historical case dataset, and multiple historical cases that meet the search precision constraint value constitute the target case dataset. Based on the target case dataset as cluster centers, hierarchical clustering is performed to obtain multi-level clusters, and the relationship parameters of each level of clusters are fitted. Using the target case dataset as the cluster center, hierarchical clustering is performed. The similarity or distance between cases is calculated, and cases are progressively merged or split into different clusters based on these similarities or distances. As clustering progresses, multi-layered clusters are formed, each representing a different level of clustering results. The data within each layer of clusters is analyzed to discover relationships or patterns. By fitting these relationship parameters, we can better understand the intrinsic structure and characteristics of the data. A deviation threshold is set; clustering stops when the deviation value of the multi-layered relationship parameters reaches the threshold. A deviation threshold is set. Clustering stops when the deviation value of the multi-level relationship parameters reaches this threshold. This is used to evaluate the stability of the clustering results and control the clustering accuracy. The deviation threshold is a preset value used to quantify the degree of change or difference in the multi-level relationship parameters. By comparing the differences and rates of change of relationship parameters at different levels, the deviation value of the relationship parameters between adjacent levels is calculated. When this deviation value reaches or exceeds the set deviation threshold, it is considered that the clustering results have shown significant instability or change. Continuing clustering may lead to problems such as overfitting, so clustering is stopped to ensure the stability and consistency of the clustering results and avoid overly complex clustering structures. Multi-level weights are configured, and the multi-level relationship coefficients are averaged and weighted to obtain the influence relationship coefficients. The relationship parameters of the target case dataset have the largest weights. Different weights are assigned to clusters at different levels and their relationship parameters. The multi-level relationship coefficients are calculated by weighted averaging to obtain the influence relationship coefficients. The relationship parameters of the target case dataset are assigned the largest weights to emphasize their importance in the calculation.

[0030] The specific configuration of the decomposition parameter calculation module 30 will be described in detail below. The decomposition parameter calculation module 30 further includes: performing silhouette coefficient calculation on multi-layer clusters to obtain the silhouette coefficients for each layer. During hierarchical clustering, the silhouette coefficient evaluation method is applied to the clustering results of each layer to obtain the silhouette coefficient values ​​for each layer. The silhouette coefficient is an indicator for measuring clustering effectiveness; it comprehensively considers the cluster's compactness and separation. For each sample point, the silhouette coefficient (… The result can be calculated using the following formula: ; in, It is the average distance between a sample point and other points within the same cluster. This is the minimum average distance between a sample point and all points within other clusters. Decentralization is performed based on the contour coefficients of all layers to obtain the mean coefficient. The deviation between the contour coefficients of each layer and the mean coefficient is calculated to determine an adjustment coefficient. This adjustment coefficient is then used to reconstruct the multi-layer weights. The deviation between the contour coefficients of each layer and the mean coefficient is calculated. Based on the calculated deviation, an adjustment coefficient can be determined; for example, layers with larger deviations may be assigned larger adjustment coefficients. Using the determined adjustment coefficient, the original multi-layer weights are reconstructed, i.e., by multiplying the weight of each layer by the corresponding adjustment coefficient. By reconstructing the weights, layers with better clustering results can receive greater weight in subsequent weighted calculations, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the overall clustering results.

[0031] The specific configuration of the decomposition parameter calculation module 30 will be described in detail below. The decomposition parameter calculation module 30 may further include: calculating the deviation value using the contour coefficients of each layer and the mean value of the coefficients to determine the adjustment coefficient, including: according to the formula: ,in, The adjustment coefficient for the i-th layer, Let k be the contour coefficient of the i-th layer, k be the mean coefficient, and i be the number of clustering layers.

[0032] The specific configuration of the extrusion operation process control module 50 will be described in detail below. The extrusion operation process control module 50 further includes: based on the process optimization variables, setting search constraints to search the control parameter sample set, and randomly generating a first population and a second population; determining an update search center and an update search direction based on the first population and the second population, wherein the update search center is determined by the magnitude of a random number; using the update search center and update search direction, performing process variable control scheme mutation according to a set step size to obtain a mutated population; exchanging individual elements in the second population with elements at the same position in the mutated population to generate new samples; when the evaluation value of the new sample exceeds the evaluation value of individual elements in the second population, performing population update; when the evaluation value of the new sample is lower than the evaluation value of individual elements in the second population, eliminating the new sample and marking the corresponding individual sample as a termination marker to indicate that update search is prohibited; repeatedly iterating the population update until the optimization stopping target is reached, obtaining the process variable control scheme with the optimal evaluation value as the extrusion control information. Based on the process optimization variables, a process of setting search constraints to search the control parameter sample set, followed by a series of optimization operations, mainly utilizes a backtracking search optimization algorithm to find the optimal process variable control scheme. Specifically, after setting the search constraints, a first and second group are randomly generated. Based on the characteristics of the first and second groups, the search center point and direction are determined by random numbers, increasing the randomness and globality of the search. The search direction determines which direction to search in the search space, thus updating the search center and search direction in a definite manner. The process variable control scheme is mutated according to a set step size, and the process variable control scheme is mutated in the search space according to the set step size. New solutions, or new process variable control schemes, are generated according to certain rules. This involves adjusting parameters to generate new schemes, followed by crossover and mutation operations. Individual elements from the second population are exchanged with elements at the same position in the mutated population to generate new samples. These new samples are evaluated, and their evaluation values ​​are calculated. If the evaluation value of a new sample exceeds that of an individual element in the second population, the population is updated using the best solutions from both the second and mutated populations. If the evaluation value of a new sample is lower than that of an individual element in the second population, the new sample is eliminated, and a termination marker is added, indicating that this search direction will not be considered in subsequent iterations. This iterative process of population updating continues until an optimization stopping point is reached.
