[0002] At present, the proportion of non-standard parameters of large-tonnage bending machines is relatively high, and the design cycle is relatively long. Developing a parametric design method can effectively shorten the design cycle of non-standard products for designers.

[0036] S2. Analysis of the parameter working conditions of key components based on multi-factor experimental design:
[0037] According to the two design variable parameters of each key structural component determined in the above S1 step (the slider structure is the slider height H hk and the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the oil cylinder; the workbench structure is the height H of the neutral plate yg and the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the connection between the wall panel and the workbench; the wall panel structure is the width K of the wall panel and the thickness a of the throat reinforcing rib gzt ; lj ; hk1) Determine the number of sample points and value ranges of different design variables, and establish a simulation and test experiment table accordingly. A variety of different working condition test groups are obtained, and they are numbered as h, where h = 1, 2,..., Q, and Q is the total number of tests that need to be simulated and tested.
[0038] S3. Correction of the optimized values of different working condition parameters through simulation and test data:
[0039] According to the various different working condition test groups of the key structural components determined in the above S2 step, import the simplified model of the large-tonnage bending machine into ANSYS finite element software for structural static analysis. The mesh division of this simplified model is carried out by an automatic division method. Boundary constraints and the required bending load F are applied in the preprocessing. Based on the built-in part size parameterization solution function in the simulation software, the local stress σ h and the structural deformation Δl h are obtained for each group of working conditions in the test table, where h = 1, 2,..., Q, and Q is the total number of tests. On this basis, select some working conditions for test verification based on the strength and stiffness test methods, and reverse correct the finite element calculation results with the test and simulation error values to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the simulation data modeling.
[0040] At the same time, according to the value results of each variable of the key structural components in different working condition test groups, based on aspects such as the actual procurement of plates, processing and assembly costs, and waste nesting management, calculate the cost pre-estimation value P h under different working conditions, where h = 1, 2,..., Q, and Q is the total number of tests.
[0041] S4. Establishment of the objective function of key components based on the multi-agent model:
[0042] According to the parameter situations of different working condition combinations determined in the S2 step, combined with the local stress values and structural deformation values corresponding to each group of working conditions obtained by simulation in the S3 step, in the numerical analysis software, for the local stress values σ h and the structural deformation values Δl h corresponding to different working conditions, perform the fitting of the Kriging agent model. Divide each dimension into equal-probability intervals by Latin hypercube sampling and randomly extract sample points to improve the spatial coverage. On this basis, evaluate the model accuracy through the mean square error index. If the accuracy is insufficient, gradually increase the sample size, and update the relevant parameters through the maximum likelihood estimation method to improve the accuracy of the agent model until the model performance meets the requirements.
[0043] Improving the accuracy of the Kriging model based on the maximum likelihood estimation method mainly optimizes the length scale parameter and the noise variance to maximize the joint probability density of the sample data, thereby better capturing the data characteristics and reducing the model bias. The maximum likelihood estimation method can effectively handle noisy data, distinguish signals from noise, and enhance the robustness of the model. Combining optimization methods such as gradient descent or genetic algorithms can efficiently solve the globally optimal hyperparameter combination. By optimizing the hyperparameters and enhancing the model fitting ability, the accuracy and generalization performance of the Kriging model are significantly improved.
[0044] According to the Kriging algorithm theory, assume that the relationship between the output response G(x) and the input variable x is expressed as:
[0045] G(x) = f T (x)β + z(x)
[0046] f T (x) is the basis function vector of the regression polynomial; β is the vector of regression coefficients; z(x) is a Gaussian random process with zero mean, and the covariance function is expressed as:
[0047]
[0048] Among them, is the variance of the Gaussian process; R(x i , x j , θ) is a vector with parameter θ, and its correlation function can be expressed as:
[0049]
[0050] Among them, is the k-th element of the vector x i , is the k-th element of the vector x j , θ k is the model hyperparameter.
[0051] Given a set of training samples with a capacity of N, the unbiased estimate and prediction error of G(x) are defined as follows:
[0052]
[0053] Among them, is the estimated value of β; r(x) is the correlation function vector between the training sample points and the prediction points; Y is the training sample response.
[0054] S5. Parametric optimization design method for a bending machine based on non-linear constraint control:
[0055] According to the local stress values σ corresponding to different working conditions obtained by fitting with the kriging algorithm in step S4 above h and the structural deformation value Δl h , combined with the estimated cost value P h A nonlinear constraint control equation under multiple variables is established. On the premise of ensuring the lowest estimated cost value P h , the optimal solution satisfying the local stress value and deformation value of the structure is iteratively solved based on the numerical simulation calculation platform. The main variables to be inversely solved include: the slider height H hk , the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the oil cylinder yg , the height H of the neutral plate gzt , the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the connection between the wall panel and the workbench lj , the width K of the wall panel and the thickness a of the throat reinforcing rib hk1 .
[0056]
[0057] Among them, f(x) is the objective function in the nonlinear constraint equation, with the minimum cost value P h as the goal; g(x) is the constraint function in the nonlinear constraint equation, which mainly includes the constraint g1(x) on the value range of key component variables and the constraint g2(x) on the structural strength and stiffness of key components. [σ] is the allowable value of the local maximum stress, and [Δl] is the allowable value of the maximum deformation of the key component structure.
[0058] As Figure 2 shown in the flowchart of the parametric solution design of the slider structure of the large-tonnage bending machine, according to the known parameters and performance index requirements, the slider height H hk is preferentially solved based on the method proposed in the present invention, and the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the oil cylinder is adjusted yg to meet the requirements of the local strength at the oil cylinder installation of the slider.
[0059] As Figure 3 shown in the flowchart of the parametric solution design of the workbench structure of the large-tonnage bending machine, according to the known parameters and performance index requirements, the height H of the neutral plate gzt is preferentially solved based on the method proposed in the present invention, and the thickness a of the reinforcing rib at the connection between the wall panel and the workbench is optimized lj to meet the strength index requirements at this connection.
[0060] As Figure 4 shown in the flowchart of the parametric solution design of the wall panel structure of the large-tonnage bending machine, according to the known parameters and performance index requirements, the width K of the wall panel is preferentially solved based on the method proposed in the present invention, and the thickness a of the throat reinforcing rib is adjusted hk1 to meet the strength index requirements at the throat position at the lower end of the wall panel.
[0061] In summary, the method of the present invention realizes the development of a large-tonnage bending machine through steps of determining key structural design parameters of the large-tonnage bending machine, multi-factor experimental design and working condition analysis, simulation and test data correction, establishing a multi-variable surrogate model, and non-linear constraint optimization solution.
