Currently, stamping shops are facing shortcomings in models, data, and systems during their intelligent transformation. The integration of multi-source, heterogeneous data is difficult, leading to significant data redundancy and low utilization efficiency. Scenario construction is difficult and slow, resulting in poor modeling accuracy and insufficient lightweight processing capabilities, leading to underutilization of model assets.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 The method for building a digital twin system for large-scale stamping scenarios shown in FIG. 1 includes: Physical workshop layer: used to collect data involved in the production process of the stamping workshop and collect it through sensing equipment, and adjust the system status through control strategies or algorithms; Geometric mechanism layer: real-time mapping of the production process and information data of the physical workshop layer, and status management and feedback of the physical workshop layer; Deployment application layer: collects and fits various data information results of the physical workshop layer and geometric mechanism layer, generates control strategies through simulation and optimization decisions, and feeds back to the physical workshop layer.

[0017] The physical workshop layer mainly refers to the actual large-scale stamping workshop, which is the core area for receiving and storing raw materials and actual stamping production. It is also the basic source of production data in the twin system and the service object that ultimately needs to be optimized. It mainly consists of two parts: workshop production resources and perception and control entities.

[0018] The workshop production resources mentioned above mainly refer to the equipment, raw materials, human resources, energy resources, information resources, warehouses and logistics, etc. in the production process of the stamping workshop.

[0019] Sensing and processing entity: A component that collects environmental or system information through sensing devices and uses control strategies / algorithms to adjust system status. It consists of two parts: a sensing component and a control component. The sensing component consists of a controller and a sensor. The sensor collects environmental or device data, and the controller is the initial processing unit responsible for data preprocessing and preliminary decision-making. The control component consists of a controller and an actuator. The controller is the core decision-making unit that generates control instructions based on the algorithm, and the actuator receives the instructions and performs physical actions. The controller is typically a microcontroller, PLC (programmable logic controller), or computer. A closed-loop control feedback mechanism is used to feed the actuator output back to the perception layer for real-time monitoring and adjustment, ensuring that the system can self-adjust according to the actual state to achieve better control results. Perception data and control instructions are transmitted between different components via the workshop local area network. The workshop local area network refers primarily to the relevant basic network equipment in the stamping workshop system. Its main function is to provide real-time data communication guarantees for various production equipment and various levels of the system in the stamping workshop. Data transmission typically uses serial communication, bus systems, wireless communication, etc. The algorithm uses control algorithms such as PID control, fuzzy control, and machine learning algorithms, and uses state estimation models to describe and predict system states, which helps improve control accuracy and efficiency. The human-machine interface (HMI) interacts with operators through visual, touch, and sound methods to display system status and receive user instructions.

[0020] The geometric mechanism layer primarily refers to the digital model of the stamping shop in virtual space. It is the geometric mechanism virtual workshop corresponding to the physical workshop. Its main function is to map the production process and information data of the stamping shop in real time, and to manage and provide feedback on the status of the workshop equipment.

[0021] The geometric mechanism layer includes: geometric model construction: building a three-dimensional geometric model of the stamping equipment and parts; mechanism model construction: achieving matching between the three-dimensional geometric model and the control system and mechanism analysis.

[0022] Specifically, geometric model construction primarily refers to 3D modeling: using CAD software and 3D scanning technology to construct 3D geometric models of stamping equipment. These models should accurately reflect the equipment's structure, dimensions, and kinematic characteristics. Furthermore, component library construction involves establishing a component library for stamping equipment, including 3D models of the smallest unit parts, such as screws and nuts, for rapid access in subsequent simulations and simulations. The geometric mechanism workshop model primarily refers to the integration of the physical and digital worlds to enable comprehensive monitoring, analysis, and optimization of the stamping shop.

[0023] Specifically, the mechanism model construction mainly refers to control system matching: matching the components constructed by the geometric model with the machine actions of the control system to achieve the corresponding description of the actual motion trajectory of the equipment in the geometric model; and conducting in-depth analysis of the physical mechanisms in the stamping process, such as material deformation, flow and fracture, and converting these mechanisms into mathematical models and algorithms.

[0024] The deployment application layer's primary function is to directly address the functional requirements of users and the actual stamping shop production process. It collects and integrates various data and information results from the physical shop floor and geometric mechanism layers, providing corresponding service functions. The deployment application layer plays a crucial role in modern software architecture. By providing clear interfaces, encapsulating complex business logic, and supporting system integration, it helps build maintainable, scalable, and secure enterprise-level applications. The deployment application layer interacts with the human-machine interface (HMI) by optimizing control instructions.

[0025] Specifically, the deployment application layer includes: a simulation layer, which uses a digital twin system to perform simulation and predict the working conditions during the stamping process, such as material deformation, equipment wear and energy consumption; an optimization decision layer, which makes optimization decisions on the production process based on the simulation results, such as adjusting stamping parameters and optimizing equipment layout.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above.
