[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a guide pillar and guide sleeve and a die adjustment method using the guide pillar and guide sleeve, comprising the following steps:

[0040] In the data acquisition stage, die state data is collected based on pressure sensors, displacement sensors, temperature sensors, and vibration sensors distributed on the guide pillar and guide sleeve. Four pressure sensors are circumferentially distributed on the guide pillar, and a thin-film pressure sensor with signal XPT2046 is used, with a range of 0 - 50KN, a measurement accuracy of ±0.1%, and a measurement point spacing of 90°. Three laser displacement sensors of model KEYENCE LK-G30 are arranged at the end face of the guide pillar and the bottom of the guide sleeve respectively, forming a spatial triangular measurement structure with a resolution of 0.1um. Two PT100 temperature sensors are buried on the surfaces of the guide pillar and the guide sleeve respectively, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. A three-axis vibration sensor of model ADXL345 is installed at the root of the guide pillar, with a range of ±20g and a frequency response range of 0.5 - 10kHz. And a PLC (Siemens S7-1500) is used as the main controller, and multi-sensor data acquisition is realized through a hardware trigger synchronization mechanism. The acquisition frequency is dynamically adjusted according to the adjustment stage, which is 50Hz in the static debugging stage and increased to 500Hz in the dynamic movement stage. The collected data is transmitted to the edge controller through Ethernet.

[0041] In the predictive maintenance stage, the wear trend is predicted based on a dynamic prediction model and maintenance suggestions are generated.

[0042] In the pose calculation stage, based on the collected data, the current pose deviation of the mold is calculated through a spatial pose calculation model. The spatial pose calculation model uses a homogeneous transformation matrix for pose calculation, and the specific calculation formula is:

[0043] , where R is the rotation matrix, t is the translation vector, w is the rotation vector, is the skew-symmetric matrix of w, defined as: , determine the actual contact point position of the guide pillar and the guide sleeve through the pressure distribution, construct an error equation in combination with the displacement sensor data, and use the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to iteratively solve the optimal pose parameters. The iterative convergence condition is that the parameter change between two adjacent iterations is less than 0.001 mm, and finally a pose deviation matrix including 6 degrees of freedom (3 translations + 3 rotations) is obtained.

[0044] In the optimization and adjustment stage, call the clearance compensation optimization algorithm to calculate the optimal adjustment amount and drive the actuator to make adjustments. The clearance compensation optimization algorithm uses the least squares method with constraints to solve, and the objective function is:

[0045] , and the constraint condition is: , where, is the weight coefficient of the i-th measurement point, is the actual clearance value of the i-th measurement point, is the target clearance value, is the regularization parameter, is the adjustment angle, Adjust according to the importance of the sensor position, the weight of the edge point , the weight of the center point , Calculate through the pressure-clearance mapping model: , is the regularization parameter, determined by the cross-validation method.

The voltage-displacement characteristic curve of the piezoelectric ceramic actuator is , the pulse equivalent of the servo motor is 0.001 mm / pulse, and the S-curve acceleration and deceleration algorithm is adopted, with a maximum acceleration of 0.5g.

[0046] In the verification and feedback stage, collect data again to verify the adjustment effect. If it does not meet the standard, repeat the adjustment. The data collection stage uses the Kalman filter algorithm to fuse multi-source sensor data, and the state space model is expressed as: , where, is the system state vector, is the observation vector, is the state transition matrix, For the control input matrix, For the observation matrix, For the process noise, For the observation noise. After the adjustment is completed, delay for 500 ms to wait for the system to stabilize. During this period, collect sensor data, repeat the pose calculation process, and evaluate by calculating the Cpk value. The calculation formula is:

[0047] ;

[0048] Among them, , , and are the mean and standard deviation of the actual clearance value respectively. When Cpk < 1.67, trigger a new round of adjustment, with a maximum of 3 iterations. If it still does not meet the standard, an alarm will be prompted.

[0049] The dynamic prediction model combines a physical model and a data-driven model. The wear depth prediction formula is:

[0050] , where K is the material wear coefficient, load is the contact load, speed is the relative sliding speed, time is the running time, H is the material hardness, and correction is a correction term based on the LSTM neural network, which is calculated through the following model: , K = 2.5×10 -8 (the material wear coefficient of die steel, calibrated through a pin-on-disc experiment), load is the contact load, calculated from the pressure sensor data, speed is the relative sliding speed, calculated by differentiating the displacement sensor data, and correction is calculated by the LSTM neural network. The network structure has 3 hidden layers, with 50 neurons in each layer. The input features include temperature, vibration, and historical wear data.

[0052] , where is the recommended lubrication period, is the lubrication system, related to the lubrication method and environment, load is the average load, speed is the average sliding speed, viscosity is the lubricating oil viscosity, and temperature is the working temperature.
