Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material testing and analysis, and particularly to an intelligent detection method and system for the running-in rate of automotive injection-molded gears. Background Art
[0002] In the contact performance detection of automotive injection-molded gears, traditional methods mainly rely on the red lead powder contact method and manual visual assessment. During operation, red lead powder needs to be applied to the gear surface, and the contact quality is judged by the distribution of contact spots after meshing. However, this method can only reflect the static contact state and cannot capture the stress changes and tooth profile deviation fluctuations during the dynamic meshing process. Manual interpretation is highly subjective, with low quantization accuracy, and cannot identify microscopic surface defects, resulting in insufficient reliability of the detection results and difficulty in meeting the manufacturing requirements of high-precision gears.
[0003] Existing technologies have tried to introduce single-point stress sensors or two-dimensional image analysis methods to improve the objectivity of detection, but there are still significant limitations. Single-point sensors can only obtain local stress data and cannot comprehensively characterize the stress distribution characteristics of the contact area, resulting in a relatively high missed detection rate for abnormal stress concentration areas. Although two-dimensional image analysis can identify contact trajectory offsets, it lacks the depth information of three-dimensional topography and cannot quantify key parameters such as tooth surface waviness, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the contact stability under dynamic meshing.
[0004] Current detection systems generally adopt isolated data acquisition and analysis modules, and there is no effective coordination among geometric parameters, mechanical properties, and dynamic behavior data. The detection results are disjointed from the processing and correction links, and it is necessary to rely on manual experience to repeatedly try and adjust the grinding parameters, which is not only inefficient but also likely to cause a decrease in gear strength due to excessive modification. In addition, existing methods do not construct a real-time feedback closed-loop control mechanism, making it difficult to achieve intelligent optimization of detection-processing integration. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as single detection means, reliance on manual experience, inability to analyze the contact characteristics of gears in real time and dynamically, and lack of intelligent closed-loop control, the present invention provides an intelligent detection method and system for the running-in rate of automotive injection-molded gears.

[0058] Refer to the attached instruction manual Figure 1 , which shows a schematic flowchart of an intelligent detection method for the lapping rate of an automotive injection-molded gear provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0059] An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent detection method for the lapping rate of an automotive injection-molded gear. This method can be implemented by an intelligent detection device for the lapping rate of an automotive injection-molded gear. The intelligent detection device for the lapping rate of an automotive injection-molded gear can be a terminal or a server. The processing flow of the intelligent detection method for the lapping rate of an automotive injection-molded gear can include the following steps:
[0060] S1. Based on a 3D laser scanner, collect 3D topography data of the gear meshing surface, and obtain a set of geometric feature parameters of the tooth surface contact area. The set of geometric feature parameters at least includes the contact spot distribution density, the contact trajectory offset, and the tooth surface waviness.
[0061] In a possible implementation, a Keyence LJ-V7300 3D laser scanner is used, with a lateral resolution of 5μm and a longitudinal repeatability accuracy of 0.1μm. When scanning, the gear is installed on an air-bearing turntable (radial runout ≤ 2μm) and rotates at a constant speed of 10r / min. After the collected meshing point cloud data is denoised by Gaussian filtering (σ = 0.1mm), the following geometric feature parameters are extracted:
[0062] Contact spot distribution density: Identify contact spots through the Otsu adaptive threshold segmentation method. The calculation density formula is:
[0063]
[0064] where N spot is the number of spots, A contact is the contact area, and the qualified range is 150 - 400 pieces / cm 2 .
[0065] Contact trajectory offset: Generate a theoretical involute equation based on gear parameters, perform a cubic B-spline fitting on the actual trajectory, and calculate the root mean square deviation (RMS). The maximum allowable deviation is ≤ 15μm.
[0066] Tooth surface waviness: Use wavelet analysis to extract the surface components with wavelengths of 0.1 - 1mm, set the amplitude threshold to ±2μm, and mark the over-limit area as the grinding target.
[0067] S2. Construct a dynamic contact stress distribution index DCSDI. Real-time collect the contact stress time-domain signals through a piezoelectric stress sensor array installed on the gear test bench, and calculate the dynamic contact stress distribution index in combination with a finite element contact analysis model.
[0068] In a possible implementation, 16 Kistler 9313B piezoelectric stress sensors are installed on the gear test bench, distributed in a helix (pitch angle 15°), with a sampling frequency of 10 kHz. The signals are conditioned by the NI PXIe-4330 module. A gear contact model is constructed based on ANSYS Workbench, with a mesh size of 0.2 mm. The material model uses the Johnson-Cook dynamic constitutive equation:
[0069]
[0070] The parameters are set as: A = 80 MPa, B = 120 MPa, n = 0.35, C = 0.015, m = 1.2, and the reference strain rate is 1.0 s -1 , and the temperature parameter T* = (T - 25) / 235.
[0071] According to the formula
[0072]
[0073] where σ max and σ avg are obtained by interpolating the stress nephogram, and N c is calculated according to ISO 6336-2019. ΔA is the area of the abnormal stress region (by finite element mesh integration). Example: When σ max = 85 MPa, σ avg = 32 MPa, N c = 1.8, ΔA = 3.2 mm 2 and A0 = 25.6 mm 2 , DCSDI = 2.89. When it exceeds the threshold of 3.0, processing is triggered.
[0074] S3. Establish the profile deviation fluctuation coefficient PDFC. Use a high-speed camera system to synchronously capture the image sequence of the contact trajectory during the meshing process of the gear pair, and obtain the time-series change characteristics of the profile deviation through the image feature extraction algorithm.
[0075] In a possible implementation, a Photron FASTCAM Nova S12 high-speed camera (resolution 1280×1024, frame rate 5000 fps) is used, equipped with a 630 nm narrow-band filter and a pulsed LED light source (pulse width 50 μs), and a synchronous encoder is used to obtain the gear speed.
[0076] Calculate the blur length L = w × r × t according to the rotational speed ω (rad / s) exp , and use the Richardson-Lucy deconvolution to restore the image. Locate the edge based on the Zernike moment algorithm, with an accuracy of 0.1 pixel.
[0077] According to the formula
[0078]
[0079] Among them, T = 0.2 s (corresponding to 2000 r / min), ΔF p (t) fluctuates by ±12 μm (F p0 = 20 μm), Δf Hα (t) fluctuates by ±8 μm (f Hα0 = 15 μm), and the calculation result PDFC = 0.68, and the qualified threshold ≤ 0.7.
[0080] S4. Input the dynamic contact stress distribution index and the profile deviation fluctuation coefficient into the lapping rate comprehensive evaluation model. This model performs multi-dimensional matching analysis on the two characteristic parameters and the standard lapping rate database through machine learning algorithms, and outputs three-dimensional evaluation indicators including the contact area qualification rate, stress distribution uniformity, and dynamic matching accuracy.
[0081] In a possible implementation manner, the improved analytic hierarchy process (IAHP) is adopted to construct a judgment matrix (contact area qualification rate: stress distribution uniformity: dynamic matching accuracy = 1:1.5:2), calculate the initial weight w = [0.45, 0.35, 0.20], and through the correction factor formula:
[0082]
[0083] Adjust the parameters α = 0.2, β = 0.8, C_i = 0.92 (measured uncertainty according to ISO 1328-1), and the corrected weight is [0.53, 0.40, 0.22]. Combine the genetic algorithm (population size 200, crossover probability Pc = linearly decreasing from 0.8 to 0.2) and the particle swarm optimization (inertia weight ω = 0.9 - 0.4), and the fitness function is:
[0084]
[0085] Among them, S contact is the ratio of the actual contact area to the theoretical value, and the optimization goal is Fitness ≥ 0.85.
[0086] S5. Generate a contact optimization plan according to the three-dimensional evaluation indicators, perform adaptive grinding on the gear meshing surface through a numerical control profiling device, and provide real-time feedback to correct the processing parameters until the preset lapping rate threshold is reached.
[0087] In a possible implementation manner, the processing parameter mapping is as follows:
[0088] Qualified rate of contact area Abrasive pressure (N) Feed rate (mm / s) Path overlap rate <70% 8.0±0.5 15 40% 70%-85% 6.5±0.3 20 30% >85% 5.0±0.2 25 20%
[0089] Adopt TX2-90L five-axis robotic arm (repeated positioning accuracy ±2μm), grinding pressure control accuracy ±0.1N, PID parameters are adjusted according to the rules:
[0090] K p = 2.5×(1 - S contact )
[0091] K i = 0.8 / K p
[0092] K d = 0.05×σ max
[0093] After processing every 3 tooth surfaces, re-detection is triggered until DCSDI < 3.0 and PDFC < 0.7 for three consecutive times.
[0094] The present invention also provides an intelligent detection system for the lapping rate of automotive injection-molded gears, which is applied to the intelligent detection method for the lapping rate of the above-mentioned automotive injection-molded gears, and includes:
[0095] As Figure 2 shown, this system is composed of a three-dimensional scanning module 301, a stress analysis module 302, an image processing module 303, a calculation center 304, and a feedback control module 305. The three-dimensional scanning module 301 includes a laser interferometer and a confocal displacement sensor, and transmits three-dimensional topography data to the calculation center 304 through a PCIe interface; the annular piezoelectric sensor array of the stress analysis module 302 is synchronized through the IEEE 1588 protocol and sends dynamic stress data to the calculation center 304; the double CCD cameras and FPGA chips of the image processing module 303 output tooth profile deviation data to the calculation center 304 in real time. The calculation center 304 integrates a GPU parallel computing unit, a machine learning evaluation model, and an expert knowledge base. After receiving all detection data, it generates processing instructions and sends them to the five-axis robotic arm and grinding head of the feedback control module 305 through the EtherCAT protocol. The feedback control module 305 transmits the processing status back to the calculation center 304 in real time to form a detection - processing closed loop.
[0096] The three-dimensional scanning module is configured with a laser interferometer and a confocal displacement sensor for obtaining the microscopic topography data of the gear meshing surface; the stress analysis module includes an annularly distributed piezoelectric stress sensor array and a high-speed data acquisition card for real-time monitoring of the contact stress distribution; the image processing module is integrated with double CCD high-speed cameras and an LED pulse light source for capturing dynamic images of the meshing contact trajectory; the calculation center is equipped with a GPU parallel computing unit for running a finite element contact analysis model and a machine learning evaluation model; the feedback control module includes a numerically controlled grinding machine and an adaptive PID controller for automatically adjusting processing parameters according to the evaluation results.

[0099] As Figure 3 shown, the data stream starts from the contact spot distribution density, trajectory offset, and tooth surface waviness output by the three-dimensional scanning module 301, and is input into the geometric feature fusion unit of the calculation center 304; the stress cloud map and DCSDI index provided by the stress analysis module 302 are input into the mechanical property analysis unit; the sub-pixel edge coordinates and PDFC coefficients of the image processing module 303 are input into the dynamic behavior evaluation unit. The calculation center 304 fuses multi-source data through the comprehensive evaluation model, calls the hybrid algorithm library of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization to generate the optimal processing parameters, and outputs the grinding pressure, path planning, and speed instructions to the feedback control module 305. After the feedback control module 305 executes the processing, it triggers the re-detection process of the three-dimensional scanning module 301, the stress analysis module 302, and the image processing module 303 to form a closed-loop verification. The data streams of each module progress unidirectionally, and finally return to the initial detection end through the verification of the processing effect.
[0100] In a possible implementation, the three-dimensional scanning module is Keyence LJ-V7300, which transmits data to the calculation center through the PCIe3.0x8 interface (bandwidth 6 GB / s). The stress analysis module is a Kistler 9313B sensor distributed in concentric circles (spacing 1.5 mm), and is synchronized through the IEEE 1588 protocol (time jitter < 1 μs).
