Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of material testing and analysis technology, in particular to a kind of intelligent detection method and system of automobile injection molding gear. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the contact performance detection of automobile injection molding gear, the traditional method mainly relies on red powder contact method and artificial visual evaluation. When operating, red powder is applied on the surface of the gear, and the contact quality is judged by the distribution of contact spots after meshing, but this method can only reflect the static contact state, and cannot capture the stress change and tooth profile deviation fluctuation in the dynamic meshing process. Artificial interpretation is highly subjective, with low quantitative accuracy, and cannot identify microscopic topographic defects, resulting in insufficient reliability of the detection results, making it difficult to meet the manufacturing needs of high-precision gears.
[0003] Existing technologies attempt to introduce single-point stress sensors or two-dimensional image analysis methods to improve objectivity, but still have significant limitations. Single-point sensors can only obtain local stress data, and cannot fully represent the stress distribution characteristics of the contact area, resulting in a high rate of missed detection of abnormal stress concentration areas. Although two-dimensional image analysis can identify contact trajectory deviation, it lacks depth information of three-dimensional morphology and cannot quantify key parameters such as tooth surface waviness, making it difficult to accurately assess contact stability under dynamic meshing.
[0004] Current detection systems generally use isolated data acquisition and analysis modules, and geometric parameters, mechanical properties and dynamic behavior data lack effective coordination. The detection results are disconnected from the processing and correction process, and rely on manual experience to repeatedly test and adjust grinding parameters, which not only reduces efficiency, but also easily leads to a decrease in gear strength due to excessive shaping. 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
[0005] To solve the technical problems of single detection method, reliance on manual experience, inability to dynamically analyze gear contact characteristics in real time, and lack of intelligent closed-loop control in existing technologies, the present application provides an intelligent detection method and system for automobile injection molding gear.

After the feedback control module 305 executes the processing, it triggers the re-inspection process of the 3D scanning module 301, stress analysis module 302, and image processing module 303, forming a closed-loop verification. The data flow of each module is unidirectional and progressive, and finally returns to the initial detection end through processing effect verification.
[0100] In one possible implementation, the 3D scanning module uses a Keyence LJ-V7300 to transmit data to the computing center via a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface (6GB / s bandwidth).
