Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material removal in laser processing, and particularly to a laser positioning peeling system and method for special-shaped NdFeB waste materials. Background Art
[0002] As a key functional material in modern industry, NdFeB permanent magnet materials are widely used in new energy vehicles, precision instruments, and the aerospace field. With the sharp increase in the use of complex special-shaped components, the recycling of geometrically irregular waste materials (such as turbine engine magnetic ring fragments, special-shaped sensor magnetic cores, etc.) generated during the production process has become a difficult problem in the industry. Traditional pickling methods face serious limitations when dealing with such special-shaped waste materials: strong acid solutions are difficult to uniformly penetrate complex curved surface structures, resulting in incomplete stripping of the oxide layer and excessive corrosion of the substrate coexisting, with the recovery rate of rare earth elements less than 75%, and a large amount of heavy metal polluted waste liquid is generated. Although mechanical peeling technology can avoid chemical pollution, its adaptability to thin-walled curved surface structures is extremely poor, and there is a risk of matrix microcrack propagation. According to statistics, the breakage rate of special-shaped parts with a thickness less than 1 mm is as high as 34%, seriously restricting the recycling of high-value waste materials.
[0003] Although the laser peeling technology that has emerged in recent years has advantages in terms of environmental protection, significant technical bottlenecks have been exposed in the treatment of special-shaped NdFeB waste materials. First of all, conventional laser scanning systems rely on single-wavelength imaging and cannot penetrate the oxide layer to accurately identify the substrate contour, resulting in positioning deviation and causing substrate ablation. The actual measurement shows that the misprocessing rate in the curved surface transition area exceeds 18%. Secondly, the sudden change in surface curvature of special-shaped parts leads to an intensified heat accumulation effect. The existing equal-energy scanning strategy is prone to causing out-of-control material phase change in the groove area, resulting in the oxidation depth of grain boundaries exceeding 5 μm, seriously damaging the magnetic properties of the substrate. Moreover, traditional straight scanning paths are difficult to match complex geometric features, and there is a processing blind area as high as 27% in the slit area with a curvature radius less than 3 mm. In addition, the sorting link of the peeling product is physically isolated from the processing process, and additional vibrating screening equipment needs to be introduced, resulting in a loss rate of rare earth oxides with a particle size less than 50 μm exceeding 12%, and it is difficult to avoid secondary oxidation of substrate particles.

[0015] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a laser positioning peeling method for special-shaped NdFeB waste. In step S1, first, the surface of the waste is synchronously scanned by a long-wavelength laser and a short-wavelength laser to obtain the geometric contour data of the matrix material and the thickness distribution data of the oxide layer. The long-wavelength laser can penetrate the oxide layer to obtain the geometric shape information of the matrix, while the short-wavelength laser interacts with the electronic structure of the oxide layer to obtain the thickness distribution data of the oxide layer. Based on the differential characteristics of the dual-band reflection signals, a three-dimensional characteristic spectrum of the oxide layer and the matrix is constructed, providing accurate data support for the subsequent peeling process. This step provides precise three-dimensional geometric data and the thickness distribution of the oxide layer for the subsequent laser peeling operation, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of laser peeling.
[0016] According to the thickness data of the oxide layer obtained in step S1, the energy parameters of laser peeling are dynamically adjusted, and a stepped energy control strategy is implemented by constructing an energy-thickness matching model. When approaching the interface of the matrix, the energy of laser peeling will be automatically reduced, and the peeling situation of the oxide layer is monitored in real time through plasma spectroscopy. Once abnormal plasma spectroscopy is detected (such as the matrix material being affected), the laser irradiation is immediately terminated. This control mechanism effectively avoids damage to the matrix caused by excessive laser energy, protects the matrix material, reduces the loss of waste, and improves the peeling accuracy.
[0017] In step S3, based on the geometric contour data provided in step S1, an adaptive fractal scanning path is generated to cover the surface of the waste. According to the real-time thermal accumulation data, the scanning path and the cooling interval are dynamically adjusted. This step is particularly important because it can avoid matrix damage or excessive peeling of the oxide layer caused by local overheating. By optimizing the scanning path and the cooling interval, the temperature distribution can be effectively controlled, avoiding overheating from affecting the material quality, and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the laser peeling process.
[0018] During the laser peeling process, an in-situ surface roughness detection technique is adopted to monitor the surface morphology in real time. When the detected surface roughness exceeds the set threshold, a secondary fine-tuning mode is triggered, and parameters such as laser power and scanning speed are adjusted, and the safe peeling margin is dynamically corrected according to the peeling depth to ensure that the surface is smooth and meets the requirements. Through in-situ roughness detection, abnormalities in surface treatment can be detected in a timely manner, avoiding excessive later trimming work, ensuring that the surface quality meets the standards, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the process.
[0019] During the laser lift-off process, the thermal gas flow field generated by the laser helps to separate the oxide layer fragments from the substrate particles. By utilizing the principles of gas-solid separation kinetics, in-situ separation of the oxide layer fragments and the substrate particles can be achieved. Meanwhile, the magnetic field-assisted recovery system enhances the recovery efficiency of the substrate particles and avoids the loss of valuable neodymium-iron-boron materials. The synergistic effect of the thermal gas flow field and the magnetic field can efficiently separate the oxide layer fragments from the substrate particles, not only improving the recovery rate but also enhancing the separation efficiency, which contributes to the maximum recovery of resources.
[0020] Through the organic combination of the above steps, this laser positioning lift-off method realizes the efficient and precise treatment of special-shaped neodymium-iron-boron waste. In each link, the precise control of laser energy, the optimized adjustment of the scanning path, the real-time roughness detection and trimming, as well as the thermal gas flow and magnetic field-assisted separation system, all contribute to ensuring the efficient recovery of materials and the precision of the lift-off process. This method not only improves the resource recovery rate but also guarantees the integrity of the substrate material, reduces the loss of waste, and has good industrial application prospects.
[0021] In a possible implementation, first, long-wavelength laser scanning (S1.1) is used to obtain the geometric information of the substrate that can penetrate the oxide layer, and the original point cloud data is output. At the same time, short-wavelength laser scanning (S1.2) is used to capture the optical response of the oxide layer. Its reflection signal is sensitive to the thickness of the oxide layer, forming optical attenuation data. This synchronous scanning strategy can obtain two types of key information in one round of scanning: the three-dimensional deformation characteristics of the substrate and the thickness change of the oxide layer. Synchronization improves the data acquisition efficiency, avoids errors caused by repeated scanning, ensures the one-to-one correspondence between geometric information and optical characteristics, and realizes high-precision data coupling.
[0022] Furthermore, the above two reflection signals are input into the phase separation model, and the difference characteristics between them are analyzed respectively from the time domain (such as phase delay) and the frequency domain (such as energy distribution), and then a fine interface recognition factor is obtained, such as the reflection intensity ratio and the phase difference. Using the phase and frequency domain information to enhance the signal identification ability can more accurately distinguish the boundary between the oxide layer and the substrate, especially suitable for regions with complex morphologies and small thickness differences.
[0023] Based on the above difference characteristics, the scanning area is divided into sub-regions and feature vectors are extracted. The principal component analysis (PCA) is used to simplify the data dimension and extract key features; then a dynamic classification model is constructed through the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to generate boundary recognition criteria that adapt to various morphological changes. The dynamic classification boundary can adapt to the changes in material properties in different regions, avoid misjudgment problems caused by static thresholds, and significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of recognition.
[0024] Based on the above precise identification, the Poisson reconstruction algorithm is used to generate the substrate geometric model, and then the optical response data is mapped to the surface to construct the oxide layer thickness field. Finally, non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is used for surface fitting to form a continuous and smooth three-dimensional oxide layer characteristic spectrum. NURBS fitting has high smoothness and local adjustability, which can accurately reflect the tiny fluctuations of the oxide layer thickness under complex morphologies, providing an accurate basic model for subsequent laser energy regulation and path generation.
[0025] The above steps are closely connected through layer-by-layer extraction and coupling of data. From the initial multi-source scanning to the final establishment of the three-dimensional characteristic spectrum, it constitutes a multi-modal information fusion system for special-shaped complex waste materials. It has significant advantages especially in high-contrast interface recognition, intelligent boundary classification, and continuous characterization, significantly improving the accuracy of subsequent laser stripping and the intelligent level of material recognition. This method is applicable to the recycling scenario of rare earth waste materials with high value and difficult separation, and has the characteristics of high efficiency, scalability, and industrial practicability.
[0026] In a possible implementation manner, the S2 stage mainly involves energy control and plasma spectrum monitoring during the laser stripping process. This method ensures precise control of the oxide layer and the substrate during the laser stripping process by reasonably designing an energy-thickness matching model, a stepped energy control strategy, and a real-time plasma spectrum monitoring system, minimizing material damage to the greatest extent while improving the waste material recycling efficiency.
[0027] Specifically, in step S2.1, an energy-thickness matching model is first constructed to describe the relationship between laser energy and oxide layer thickness through an exponential function relationship. The exponential term coefficient of this model is determined by the photothermal conversion efficiency of the material, which can adjust the laser energy according to the characteristics of different materials, ensuring that the heat of the laser is concentrated in the appropriate area and avoiding matrix damage caused by excessive energy. This model also needs to consider the ablation threshold of the oxide layer and the matrix damage threshold simultaneously to form a double constraint condition, ensuring that the energy control in each stage can accurately adapt to the requirements of different levels.
[0028] Through the precise design of the energy matching model, while ensuring the effective stripping of the oxide layer by the laser, it can avoid damage to the substrate caused by excessive energy. This model can dynamically adjust the laser parameters according to the specific conditions of the waste material, significantly improving the stripping efficiency and material utilization rate.
[0029] In step S2.2, a stepped energy control strategy is adopted to adjust the output power of the laser in stages to cope with the different material characteristics of the oxide layer and the substrate: In the first stage, high-energy pulses are used to break through the dense oxide layer, and the pulse width is selected to meet the pressure threshold required for shock phase transformation. The high-energy pulses in this stage can effectively break through the relatively thick oxide layer.
[0030] In the second stage, switch to the low-energy long-pulse-width mode and process the transition layer. In this stage, the parameter setting of the low-energy pulse ensures that the depth of the heat-affected zone is less than the thickness of the transition zone at the interface between the oxide layer and the substrate, thereby avoiding overheating the substrate and ensuring that the oxide layer is completely stripped.
[0031] In the third stage, when the laser approaches the substrate interface, monitor the appearance of the characteristic peaks of the substrate material by real-time acquisition of the plasma emission spectrum, and timely judge whether the substrate interface is reached to avoid excessive damage.
[0032] The stepped energy control strategy precisely controls the processing intensity of different material layers by adjusting the laser power in stages, avoiding out-of-control energy transition between different layers. This method greatly improves the accuracy and safety of laser stripping, which is particularly crucial for the efficient processing of complex waste materials.
[0033] In step S2.3, a fiber optic spectrometer is used to collect the plasma emission spectrum in the wavelength range of 400 - 700 nm, and the spectral data is processed by wavelet denoising technology to extract the relative intensity ratio of the characteristic peaks of rare earth elements. When the intensity ratio of the characteristic peaks exceeds the preset threshold, immediately cut off the laser output. This real-time monitoring system can accurately identify the characteristic peaks of the substrate material and avoid damage to the substrate by the laser.
[0034] The real-time monitoring of the plasma spectrum ensures the dynamic adaptability of the laser stripping process, can detect the appearance of the substrate material characteristics in real time, and then timely cut off the laser output to avoid damage to the substrate caused by overprocessing. This method greatly improves the safety and accuracy of the stripping process and effectively protects valuable materials.
[0035] These three steps, through the organic combination of the energy-thickness matching model, the stepped energy control strategy, and the real-time monitoring of the plasma spectrum, form an efficient and safe laser stripping process. The energy-thickness matching model provides theoretical support to ensure precise energy control; the stepped energy control strategy ensures layer-by-layer control during the actual stripping process and avoids excessive energy input; while the plasma spectrum monitoring provides real-time feedback at critical moments to prevent unnecessary damage to the substrate. Overall, the combination of the three improves the accuracy, efficiency of the waste material recycling process, as well as the material recovery rate, and is a laser stripping method with both high efficiency and safety.
[0036] In a possible implementation manner, the S3 stage mainly involves the optimization of the laser scanning path and the real-time control of heat accumulation. Through the fractal scanning path generation method, the real-time heat accumulation control method, and the method for determining the cooling interval, the accuracy, efficiency, and material safety of laser stripping can be effectively improved.
[0037] Specifically, in step S3.1, the processing area is first decomposed into multi-level substructures, and appropriate filling patterns are selected according to different local curvature characteristics. Specifically, when the curvature radius is less than a certain critical value, a spiral progressive path is adopted, which can perform delicate laser processing in areas with smaller curvature to maximize the effect of material stripping. For areas with larger curvature, a space-filling curve is used to optimize the coverage density of the path and ensure the efficiency of the stripping process.
[0038] A recursive subdivision algorithm is implemented for high-complexity areas to further improve the adaptability of the path. The criteria for recursive subdivision include the curvature change rate, the oxide layer thickness gradient, and the predicted value of heat accumulation. These factors are combined to determine the path optimization method, thus effectively improving the accuracy of laser stripping and avoiding improper processing of high-complexity areas.
[0039] By selecting a path pattern suitable for the curvature characteristics, the accuracy and efficiency of the laser stripping process can be maximized. The fractal scanning path method can adapt to waste materials of different shapes and complexities, ensuring more flexible and efficient laser processing and reducing material waste.
[0040] In step S3.2, by establishing a prediction model of the heat flux density field, combining the scanning path parameters, the thermal diffusivity of the material, and the laser energy parameters, the temperature field distribution is calculated. This model can predict the heat accumulation in local areas to ensure that the material is not damaged due to overheating during the laser stripping process.
[0041] When the temperature gradient in a local area exceeds the set critical value, the following operations are performed: Interrupt the current scanning path and insert a cooling time interval: This operation reduces the temperature of the local area by pausing the laser scanning and inserting a cooling time, avoiding damage to the oxide layer or degradation of the substrate material caused by excessive temperature.
[0042] Switch to an adjacent low-temperature area to continue the operation: This strategy enables the laser processing to continue without affecting the overheated area.
[0043] Dynamically adjust the filling density of the subsequent scanning path: According to the real-time feedback of heat accumulation, dynamically adjust the filling density of the subsequent path to reduce heat accumulation and improve the overall thermal control effect.
[0044] Real-time heat accumulation control can effectively avoid material damage caused by excessive laser energy or excessive heat accumulation. This method ensures the safety and efficiency of the laser stripping process through precise temperature control and improves the quality of waste material recycling.
[0045] In step S3.3, calculate the heat dissipation time according to the heat diffusion equation, and determine the cooling interval time in combination with the material properties and heat diffusion conditions. In addition, by combining the priorities of the subsequent processing areas, re-plan the path sequence. This can maximize the utilization of the processing area priorities while ensuring cooling, making the entire processing process more efficient.
[0046] By accurately calculating the heat dissipation time, effective control of heat accumulation can be ensured. Re-planning the path sequence makes the insertion of cooling intervals more scientific and reasonable, avoiding ineffective waiting times and improving the overall processing efficiency.
[0047] In a possible implementation, stage S4 mainly involves the detection of surface roughness, the triggering of the secondary fine machining mode, and the dynamic correction of the safety peeling margin. Through these three specific steps, the accuracy and safety in the laser peeling process can be optimized to ensure that the surface quality of the material meets the requirements and avoid unnecessary damage.
[0048] Specifically, in step S4.1, first use confocal laser scanning technology to perform optical tomography along the normal direction of the peeling area to obtain micro-region surface topography data. This method can accurately obtain the microscopic morphology of the material surface and provide fine data for subsequent processing.
[0049] Furthermore, perform Fourier transform analysis on the tomographic image to extract the spatial frequency distribution characteristics, especially the energy ratio of the high-frequency components and the directional intensity distribution of the medium-frequency components. Through these characteristics, quantitative analysis of the surface roughness can be carried out and a basis for triggering the subsequent fine machining mode can be provided.
[0050] Furthermore, through weighted calculation of the deviation amount between the spatial frequency characteristics and the preset reference plane, a surface roughness evaluation function is obtained. This function can comprehensively evaluate the surface roughness and provide a standard for triggering the secondary fine machining mode.
[0051] This method realizes the accurate evaluation of surface roughness through high-precision in-situ surface detection, providing data support for the subsequent fine machining mode. Through Fourier transform analysis, the fine features of the material surface can be better captured, thereby improving the accuracy in the laser peeling process.
[0052] Step S4.2 triggers the secondary fine machining mode by setting the critical threshold of the surface roughness evaluation function. When the surface roughness exceeds the first critical threshold, start the fine machining mode for further surface quality trimming.
[0053] During the fine machining process, the system optimizes the processing effect by adjusting the following parameters: Reduce the laser power density: Reduce the power density to a fixed proportion of the original parameters to reduce the impact of excessive laser irradiation on the surface and avoid overheating or excessive peeling of the material.
[0054] Increase the scanning speed: Increase the scanning speed to a fixed multiple of the original speed to reduce the long-term exposure to the surface, thereby reducing the thermal impact.
[0055] Reduce the spot overlap rate: Reduce the spot overlap rate to a preset safe range to ensure the uniform distribution of laser energy and avoid unnecessary surface damage.
[0056] Monitor during the finishing process: During the finishing process, continuously monitor the change rate of the surface roughness. When the roughness change approaches zero, automatically exit the finishing mode to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the processing process.
[0057] By triggering the secondary finishing mode and precisely adjusting the laser parameters, the surface roughness can be effectively reduced to achieve the required surface quality. At the same time, the real-time monitoring during the finishing process ensures the dynamic optimization of the processing process, which helps to avoid unnecessary overprocessing and material waste.
[0058] In step S4.3, by establishing a peeling depth prediction model, the peeling depth can be predicted based on parameters such as the cumulative laser energy density, the thermal diffusivity of the material, and the porosity of the oxide layer. This model can calculate the proportional relationship between the remaining substrate thickness and the original thickness in real time.
[0059] When this ratio is lower than the second critical threshold, the system will perform the following operations: Immediately terminate the laser irradiation in the current area: Stop the laser irradiation in the current area to prevent material damage caused by excessive peeling.
[0060] Mark the prohibited processing area: Mark this area as a prohibited processing area in the three-dimensional feature spectrum to ensure that the area is no longer irradiated by the laser.
[0061] Re-plan the path density: Re-plan the scanning path density of the surrounding area to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the processing process, and at the same time avoid the unsafe area from being processed again.
[0062] This method ensures the safety during the laser peeling process through real-time peeling depth prediction and safety margin correction, and avoids material loss or unnecessary risks caused by overprocessing. The dynamic correction can adjust the scanning path according to the actual situation, making the laser peeling process more accurate and safe.
[0063] The three steps in the S4 stage cooperate with each other to form a closed-loop control system. In-situ surface roughness detection provides high-precision surface data, providing a basis for triggering the secondary fine-tuning mode, and the parameter adjustment in the fine-tuning mode can effectively improve the surface quality; at the same time, the dynamic correction method for the safe peeling margin ensures the safe processing of materials by real-time monitoring of the peeling depth. The combination of these series of measures not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of laser peeling, but also avoids the damage caused by over-processing, ensuring the quality and safety of materials during the processing.
[0064] In a possible implementation, the specific realization of step S5 involves gas-solid separation dynamics, magnetic field-assisted recovery method, and closed-loop control of the separation process. These three technologies work together to improve the efficiency of waste sorting, ensure the effective recovery of useful matrix particles in the waste, and remove oxide layer fragments at the same time.
[0065] Specifically, step S5.1 uses the high-temperature gas generated during the laser peeling process to construct a vertical air flow field. These high-temperature gases can regulate the turbulence intensity of the fluidized bed by controlling the air flow velocity, thereby affecting the sedimentation process of particles.
[0066] The design of the classification sedimentation chamber is based on the Stokes number difference between the oxide layer fragments and the matrix particles. The particle size of the oxide layer fragments is smaller, while the matrix particles have a higher mass density, which results in different sedimentation speeds of the two in the air flow. Therefore, a classification sedimentation chamber is designed, and multi-stage baffles are set to further refine the sorting. The spacing between the baffles is determined according to the terminal velocity distribution of the particles, thereby improving the sorting accuracy.
[0067] The regulation of the air flow and the design of the classification sedimentation chamber can accurately separate the oxide layer fragments and the matrix particles, ensure that the oxide layer fragments are effectively removed, and retain the matrix particles to the greatest extent. This not only improves the sorting efficiency, but also reduces material waste.
[0068] In step S5.2, a gradient magnetic field generator is arranged at the end of the sorting system, and the magnetic field intensity gradually increases along the movement direction of the particles. This design can enhance the attraction to the matrix particles and contribute to the recovery of the matrix particles.
[0069] By performing pre-magnetization treatment on the matrix particles, the particles generate a residual magnetic moment in the alternating magnetic field, enhancing their response in the magnetic field. According to the principle of the Lorentz force, a particle trajectory control channel is designed, and its curvature radius is inversely proportional to the magnetic field gradient, so as to accurately control the movement trajectory of the particles and achieve the effective recovery of the matrix particles.
[0070] The magnetic field-assisted recovery method can effectively improve the recovery rate of matrix particles and avoid the misrecovery of oxide layer fragments by enhancing the magnetism of matrix particles and controlling the movement trajectories of particles. The application of this technology further improves the selectivity and efficiency of the recovery process.
[0071] In step S5.3, the movement trajectories of particles are monitored in real time by using a high-speed camera system. These camera systems can accurately capture the movement information of particles and count the escape rate of target particles through image recognition algorithms.
[0072] Based on the data feedback of the escape rate, the system dynamically adjusts the air flow velocity and magnetic field strength, and adjusts the operating parameters in real time to minimize the escape rate. This can ensure that more matrix particles are effectively sorted and recovered, and reduce the escape of ineffective particles.
[0073] Closed-loop control can adjust the operating conditions in real time to ensure the optimization of the sorting process. By continuously monitoring the movement trajectories of particles and dynamically adjusting the air flow and magnetic field strength, the escape of particles is avoided, the sorting efficiency is improved, and the accuracy of the recovery process is ensured.
[0074] The three technical sub-steps in step S5 achieve efficient waste sorting and recovery through mutual cooperation. Gas-solid separation dynamics provides a preliminary separation for particle sorting, and fractional sedimentation is carried out based on the physical properties of particles, effectively removing oxide layer fragments. Then, magnetic field-assisted recovery further improves the recovery rate of matrix particles by enhancing the magnetism of matrix particles. Finally, the closed-loop control of the sorting process ensures the efficient operation of the entire sorting process through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, minimizing the escape of particles to the greatest extent.
[0075] The combination of these steps can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency in the neodymium iron boron waste recovery process, ensure a high recovery rate of matrix particles, and effectively reduce the loss of oxide layer fragments. The overall system optimizes each link of waste sorting and provides an efficient and intelligent recovery solution.
[0076] In a possible implementation manner, the step of three-dimensional Fourier transform analysis involved in S4.1 aims to extract the surface features of materials through frequency domain analysis of the image sequence to achieve efficient surface peeling quality evaluation. This process includes the conversion from the spatial domain to the frequency domain, the extraction of spatial frequency features, and the construction of a surface roughness evaluation function.
[0077] Specifically, in step S4.1.1, the purpose of this step is to transform the tomographic image sequence from the spatial domain to the frequency domain in order to reveal the periodic and aperiodic characteristics of the material surface through spectral analysis. First, a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (2D FFT) is performed on the image sequence along the XY plane to capture the frequency information of the material surface in the XY plane. Next, a one-dimensional Fourier transform (1D FFT) is implemented in the Z-axis direction to convert this tomographic image data into a three-dimensional spectrum.
[0078] The transformation from the spatial domain to the frequency domain provides a global frequency-domain perspective, capable of capturing the variations of surface features in all directions and at different scales. When dealing with shaped NdFeB waste materials, the surface may have complex morphologies and structures. The frequency-domain conversion can effectively reveal surface features of different sizes, providing basic data for subsequent frequency feature extraction and surface roughness evaluation.
[0079] In step S4.1.2, the three-dimensional spectrum is divided into a low-frequency region, a medium-frequency region, and a high-frequency region. The boundary frequencies of each frequency region are determined by the physical properties of the material surface. Then, the integral energy of the complex modulus value within each frequency band is calculated and normalized to the proportion of the total energy. In addition, directional filtering is specifically performed on the medium-frequency region spectrum to statistically analyze the energy distribution differences in four directions: 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°.
[0080] Through frequency region division and energy distribution analysis, the directional characteristics of surface roughness and texture can be effectively revealed. The low-frequency region is usually related to large-scale surface features (such as surface flatness, long-wave texture), while the high-frequency region reflects fine surface defects and microstructures. Performing directional filtering on the medium-frequency region can help further analyze surface details, especially directional characteristics, which is crucial for optimizing the focusing and scanning directions of the laser beam during the laser stripping process.
[0081] Step S4.1.3 constructs an evaluation function for surface roughness. First, a theoretical frequency distribution curve of an ideal stripping surface is defined as a reference plane. Then, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the actual surface frequency distribution and the reference curve in different frequency bands is calculated. Next, the errors in each frequency band are weighted and combined, and the weight coefficients are related to surface functional requirements (such as surface finish, stripping effect, etc.).
[0082] This process provides a basis for the quantitative evaluation of surface quality by comparing the differences between the actual surface and the ideal surface. Since different applications may require different surface roughness and texture directionality, the design of the weight coefficients can be adjusted according to specific needs to ensure precise control of the stripping process. By weighted superposition of the errors, a comprehensive evaluation function is finally obtained, which helps to optimize the parameter settings of laser stripping.
[0083] These three steps are closely combined to form a complete surface quality assessment process. First, frequency-domain data is provided through three-dimensional Fourier transform. Then, surface features are extracted through frequency region division and energy statistics. Finally, a quantitative assessment of the actual surface roughness is achieved by constructing an evaluation function. The advantage of this design lies in its ability to accurately optimize the laser peeling process according to the complex features of the material surface (such as roughness and texture in different directions), improve the recycling efficiency, and at the same time control the surface quality after peeling.
[0084] Through this frequency analysis method, an efficient assessment of the surface quality of special-shaped NdFeB waste can be realized, meeting the processing requirements of waste in different forms, improving the flexibility and accuracy of the laser positioning peeling method, and ensuring the high quality of the final recycled materials.
[0085] In a possible implementation manner, the design method of the classification sedimentation chamber in S5.1 aims to effectively separate oxide layer fragments and matrix particles and improve the recovery rate through precise aerodynamic control and optimized analysis of particle behavior.
[0086] Specifically, the purpose of S5.1.1 is to optimize the relative motion of the airflow and particles by calculating the airflow velocity and the terminal velocity of the particles, ensuring the effective separation of oxide layer fragments and matrix particles. First, according to the gas temperature, the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the gas is calculated. Then, Stokes' law is used to derive the terminal velocity of the particles, considering the influence of the particle shape factor to more accurately calculate the terminal velocities of different particles. Finally, through iterative calculations, the airflow velocity that maximizes the velocity difference between oxide layer fragments and matrix particles is determined.
[0087] By precisely controlling the airflow velocity, the best particle separation effect in the sedimentation chamber can be ensured. A reasonable airflow velocity can effectively improve the separation efficiency between fragments and matrix particles, reduce the mixing between particles and recycling losses, and provide a basis for the optimization of subsequent classification sedimentation.
[0088] The design of S5.1.2 focuses on optimizing the distribution and collision behavior of particles through the layout of baffles. First, by establishing a differential equation for the particle motion trajectory and inputting influencing factors such as particle mass, gas flow velocity, and baffle geometric parameters, the particle motion trajectory is accurately simulated. Then, the Monte Carlo simulation method is used to statistically analyze the probability distribution of particle collisions, obtaining the probability of particle collisions under different baffle layouts. Finally, through the genetic algorithm, with the target particle recovery rate as the optimization goal, the optimal solution for the baffle spacing is solved.
[0089] The optimized layout of multi-stage baffles can effectively guide the particle motion trajectory, control the sedimentation velocity and distribution of particles, thereby improving the particle classification effect. The optimized baffle spacing ensures the maximum particle recovery rate, reduces the loss of valuable materials in the waste, and improves the recycling efficiency.
[0090] Furthermore, turbulence control is a key factor in ensuring the stable separation of particles during sedimentation. By setting up a porous medium rectifying layer at the inlet of the sedimentation chamber, the air flow can be effectively smoothed, reducing the instability caused by turbulence. The pressure fluctuation value is monitored in real time, and the PID controller is used to adjust the opening degree of the air supply valve to further precisely control the stability of the air flow. When the Reynolds number exceeds the critical value, the turbulence suppression device is activated to avoid excessive turbulence interfering with the classification sedimentation of particles.
[0091] The control of turbulence intensity can maintain the uniformity and stability of the air flow in the sedimentation chamber, prevent excessive air flow disturbance, and ensure the precise classification of particles. Through the adjustment of the PID controller, the air flow can be finely adjusted according to real-time data, further improving the classification effect and particle recovery rate.
[0092] The design method in S5.1 forms an efficient classification sedimentation system by integrating fluidized bed dynamics, multi-stage baffle layout optimization, and turbulence control strategies. Each step is interrelated to ensure the efficient separation of particles during sedimentation. The determination of the parameters of fluidized bed dynamics provides a basis for the precise control of air flow velocity. The multi-stage baffle optimization further improves the particle recovery rate, while the turbulence intensity control ensures the stability of the sedimentation process. The beneficial effect of the overall design is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of waste sorting, reduce losses during the recovery process, optimize the recovery process of NdFeB waste, and maximize the recovery value.
[0093] In a possible implementation, section S6 involves the establishment and continuous optimization of a process knowledge base, aiming to continuously improve the processing efficiency and accuracy through machine learning, digital twin, and self-optimization mechanisms.
[0094] Specifically, the purpose of S6.1 is to optimize process parameters using machine learning technology through the collection and analysis of historical processing data. First, by collecting historical processing data (including three-dimensional feature spectrum parameters, laser energy sequences, surface roughness detection results, and sorting efficiency indicators), a training set is constructed to provide sufficient data support for the model. Then, the feature vector is defined, and important indicators such as the mean value of the oxidation layer thickness gradient, the maximum heat accumulation value, and the density of path turning points are included in the feature vector. These features can reflect different states of the material during the laser stripping process. A deep neural network model is used for multi-objective optimization to output the optimal combination of process parameters.
[0095] Through the training of the machine learning model, the optimal combination of process parameters can be found for different processing conditions based on historical data. This method can continuously optimize the process during the process of accumulating data, improving the stripping efficiency, quality, and recovery rate.
[0096] Furthermore, the digital twin method verifies the accuracy of the actual machining process through physical field simulation in the virtual environment. First, a virtual machining environment is established and integrated with multiple physical field simulation modules, including the thermodynamic model of laser-material interaction, the molecular dynamics model of the oxide layer stripping process, and the computational fluid dynamics model of gas-solid two-phase flow. These models can simulate various physical phenomena during the laser stripping process. Then, the actual machining parameters are input into the digital twin system for multi-physical field coupling simulation, and the deviation between the simulation results and the measured data is checked by comparing with the actual machining process. If the deviation exceeds the allowable range, the system will trigger the model parameter calibration process and automatically adjust the model parameters to ensure more accurate simulation results.
[0097] The digital twin technology makes the virtual and actual machining processes highly consistent, can verify the feasibility of the optimization scheme through simulation, and reduces the cost and time in the experimental stage. At the same time, the dynamic calibration mechanism ensures the continuous improvement of the machining process and ensures that the process parameters are always in the best state.
[0098] S6.3 focuses on the continuous monitoring and optimization of process parameters during the production process. First, the actual production data is regularly compared and analyzed with the historical data in the knowledge base to identify the drift patterns of process parameters. Through comparison, anomalies or changes in the production process can be detected in a timely manner. Then, the corresponding compensation coefficients are generated to adjust the process parameters to compensate for the deviation. The optimization results are automatically injected into the control system through online updates, thereby realizing the real-time optimization of the process.
[0099] The self-optimization mechanism of process parameters can automatically adjust according to the changes in production in real time, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the production process. This not only improves the intelligent level of the production line but also ensures the stability and consistency of product quality in the case of parameter fluctuations or environmental changes.
[0100] In part S6, a closed-loop system of dynamic learning and real-time optimization is established through the combination of machine learning, digital twin, and the self-optimization mechanism of process parameters. First, the machine learning model is trained with historical data to provide the optimal process parameters; then, the digital twin technology verifies the process plan through multi-physical field simulation, ensuring the consistency between the design and the actual machining process; finally, the self-optimization mechanism of process parameters ensures the long-term stability and optimization of the machining process through real-time monitoring and adjustment. The beneficial effect of the overall design is to improve production efficiency and product quality, reduce costs, make the production process more intelligent, and have stronger adaptability and sustainability.
