[0003] Pultrusion is an efficient, continuous production process for manufacturing composite profiles with a constant cross-section. The drawing speed of the production process is preset and maintained constant based on the operator's experience. This static control strategy cannot respond in real time to dynamic changes in the production process, such as fluctuations in the performance of raw materials between batches and changes in ambient temperature and humidity. This is especially true when producing wood wrapped in fiber cloth, where performance fluctuations between raw material batches far exceed the operator's experience.

[0004] When processing raw materials with unstable properties, if the drawing speed is set too fast, it may lead to incomplete solidification inside the profile, seriously affecting product quality and mechanical properties, and causing a large amount of waste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinarily skilled in the art without any creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] The present application aims to provide a self-adaptive pultrusion system of a composite material pultrusion machine and a control method thereof, which aims to control the drawing speed in real time and automatically when processing raw materials with unstable performance, so that the material can be fully solidified, ensuring high efficiency and high quality.

[0028] ​​​The adaptive pultrusion system operates based on the following principle: as the resin matrix in a composite material transforms from liquid to solid, its physical properties, such as density and elastic modulus, undergo dramatic changes. This directly leads to significant and regular changes in the speed and attenuation of sound waves propagating through it. Therefore, by detecting the speed and attenuation of sound waves in the composite material, the degree of curing and curing speed of the resin matrix in the composite material can be obtained.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adaptive pultrusion system includes an ultrasonic detection module 2, a control module and a pulling device. Its core technical means is to use ultrasonic technology to perform online and non-destructive detection of the curing degree of the composite material, and to perform closed-loop feedback control of the pulling speed based on the detection results, thereby achieving simultaneous optimization of production efficiency and product quality.

[0030] The control module and the extraction device are not shown in the figure.

[0031] The ultrasonic detection module 2 is arranged at the end of the curing molding section of the pultrusion die 1, that is, the position where the composite material is about to complete curing and leave the main heat source. The ultrasonic detection module 2 includes at least one pair of ultrasonic sensors 21 arranged on one or more opposite sides of the die (such as the top and bottom), wherein one ultrasonic sensor 21 serves as a transmitting end and the other ultrasonic sensor 21 serves as a receiving end. The ultrasonic wave is propagated through the composite material in the pultrusion die 1 as a medium.

[0032] The control module receives the electrical signal from the receiving end of the ultrasonic sensor 21, calculates the flight time and signal attenuation of the ultrasonic wave penetrating the composite material, and compares it with the pre-established reference database stored in the controller to obtain the minimum degree of cure on the current cross section of the composite material. The calculated minimum degree of cure is then compared with the pre-established target degree of cure stored in the controller, and the remaining cure time is calculated based on the deviation between the two. The pulling speed of the composite material is then adjusted based on the remaining cure time.

[0033] The pulling device can be a crawler or roller traction machine. When the controller detects that the curing is insufficient, the pulling device can smoothly reduce the pulling speed so that the material can stay in the heating zone for a longer time. Conversely, when the controller detects that the curing meets the standard, the pulling device can gradually increase the pulling speed and dynamically approach the set maximum production efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, since the high temperature inside the mold will damage the ultrasonic sensor 21, in order to solve this problem, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a waveguide rod 22 is provided inside the mold, and the waveguide rod 22 is connected to the ultrasonic sensor 21 on the outside of the mold, so that ultrasonic waves are indirectly transmitted and received through the waveguide rod 22.

[0035] The waveguide rod 22 is a metal rod with high strength and excellent acoustic performance, and its front end is precisely polished.

[0036] The waveguide rod 22 and the ultrasonic sensor 21 are installed as follows:

[0037] The rear end of the waveguide rod 22 is processed with an external thread, and the working end of the ultrasonic sensor 21 also has an external thread, and its spiral direction is opposite to the spiral direction of the thread at the rear end of the waveguide rod 22. The two are tightened and fixed by a connecting sleeve 23 with an internal thread to ensure that they will not loosen under vibration conditions. Acoustic coupling agent is coated between the working end face of the ultrasonic sensor 21 and the rear end face of the waveguide rod 22.

[0038] The waveguide rod 22 and the pultrusion die 1 are installed as follows:

[0039] A blind hole 11 is processed on the pultrusion die 1 to form an acoustic thin wall 12. The blind hole 11 is located on one or more opposite sides of the die (such as the upper and lower sides), and extends from the outer wall of the die toward the inner surface in contact with the composite material. A 1 to 2 mm thick die body material (acoustic thin wall 12) is retained between the extension end point of the blind hole 11 and the inner cavity surface of the die.

[0040] A waveguide rod 22 is arranged in each blind hole 11. One end of the waveguide rod 22 is tightly coupled with the ultrasonic sensor 21 installed in the normal temperature zone outside the mold, and the other end is in contact with the acoustic thin wall 12. A high-temperature acoustic coupling agent is coated between the two.

[0041] The acoustic thin wall 12 is used to serve as a transmission window for ultrasonic waves while maintaining the structural integrity of the mold, transmitting vibrations between the waveguide rod 22 and the composite material.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to eliminate the interference of resin pressure fluctuations in the pultrusion die 1 on acoustic measurement and ensure the stability of acoustic coupling and the accuracy of measurement results, it is also necessary to provide the waveguide rod 22 and the acoustic thin wall 12 with a suitable working environment. The goal is: when the pultrusion die 1 is unloaded, ensure that the sensor coupling surface (acoustic thin wall 12) is not subjected to any external stress, or is only subjected to low stress that does not affect its structural strength; when the pultrusion die 1 is loaded and the material generates pressure, the system automatically applies a precise and dynamic support pressure to the acoustic thin wall 12. The magnitude of this support pressure is equal to the process pressure generated by the material inside the pultrusion die 1 in real time, so that the pressures on the inside and outside of the acoustic thin wall 12 offset each other, making it in an ideal measurement state of approximately zero stress.

[0043] The following article proposes a pressure adaptive compensation mechanism for achieving the above-mentioned goal, which includes: a sensing side component 3, an execution side component 4 and a hydraulic transmission system. The sensing side component 3 is used to monitor the process pressure generated by the material inside the pultrusion die 1 in real time, and the hydraulic transmission system transmits the pressure equivalent to the process pressure to the execution side component 4, so that the execution side component 4 applies pressure to the waveguide rod 22 in real time, and the pressure of the waveguide rod 22 acting on the acoustic wall is equal to the process pressure generated by the material inside the pultrusion die 1.

[0044] The sensing side component 3 includes: a sensing piston and a sealing cover 33 .

[0045] The induction piston comprises a coaxial slender piston rod 31 and a short positioning shoulder 32 . The induction piston is installed in a precise countersunk through hole 13 on the pultrusion die 1 . The countersunk through hole 13 is adjacent to the blind hole 11 and is located upstream of the blind hole 11 .

[0046] The front end surface of the piston rod 31 is precisely polished to form a sensing surface, which is flush with the inner wall of the mold after installation and is used to directly sense the process pressure generated by the material in the mold cavity. The lower surface of the positioning shoulder 32 is the positioning surface, which is used to achieve precise positioning in the countersunk hole of the mold, and the positioning shoulder 32 structure prevents the piston from falling into the mold cavity.

[0047] The sealing cover 33 is connected to the pultrusion die 1 through threads or flanges and closes the outside of the countersunk hole. A hydraulic pipe 5 connected to the hydraulic transmission system is provided at one end of the sealing cover 33 away from the countersunk hole.

[0048] Hydraulic oil is injected into the interior of the countersunk hole, and the sealing cover 33, the countersunk hole and the hydraulic force surface of the sensing piston together form a sealed hydraulic chamber 34. The upper surface of the positioning shoulder 32 constitutes a hydraulic force surface, which is used to contact with the hydraulic oil and convert the material pressure into the pressure in the hydraulic pipeline 5.

[0049] The execution side assembly 4 includes: a guide section 24 , a water-cooled guide sleeve 41 , a loading bracket 42 and a hydraulic cylinder 43 .

[0050] The guide section 24 is coaxially formed between the front and rear ends of the waveguide rod 22 and is annular in shape with a diameter larger than that of the waveguide rod 22 . A thrust step 25 is formed on the end surface of the guide section 24 facing the rear end of the waveguide rod 22 .

[0051] The water-cooled guide sleeve 41 is a metal sleeve with a flange, which has an inner layer for cooling water to flow into. Its inner hole forms a sliding fit with the outer diameter of the guide section 24, providing precise axial motion guidance and water cooling for the waveguide rod 22. Its flange surface is used for fixed connection to the mold or external mounting bracket.

[0052] The loading bracket 42 is a sturdy metal bracket with a structure having slots to avoid the ultrasonic sensor 21 unit and its cable. Its front end contacts the thrust step 25 of the waveguide rod 22, and its rear end presses against the main pressure piston 44 of the hydraulic cylinder 43, serving as a rigid bridge for transmitting thrust.

[0053] A main pressure piston 44 is installed at the front end of the hydraulic cylinder 43, and the rear end is connected to the hydraulic pipeline 5. The countersunk hole, the hydraulic pipeline 5 and the interior of the hydraulic cylinder 43 are filled with high-temperature hydraulic oil.

[0054] The front end of the main pressure piston 44 pushes the loading bracket 42 , and the rear end of the main pressure piston 44 contacts the hydraulic oil and is driven by the hydraulic pressure.

[0055] It should be noted that the area of ​​the sensing surface where the sensing piston is in direct contact with the material is equal to the area of ​​the contact surface where the front end of the waveguide rod 22 is in contact with the acoustic thin wall 12; the effective force-bearing area where the positioning shoulder 32 of the sensing piston is in contact with the hydraulic oil is equal to the effective force-bearing area where the main pressure piston 44 is in contact with the hydraulic oil.

[0056] In addition to the hydraulic pipeline 5, the hydraulic transmission system also includes an oil filling port and an exhaust port connected to the hydraulic pipeline 5 to achieve the purpose of filling oil into the hydraulic pipeline 5 and discharging internal bubbles. The oil filling port and exhaust port are not shown in the figure.

[0057] Furthermore, the pressure adaptive compensation mechanism also includes a reset spring 6, one end of which is connected to the fixed water-cooled guide sleeve 41, and the other end is connected to the guide section 24 of the waveguide rod 22. Its function is to provide a weak pullback force when the system is unloaded (there is no composite material inside the pultrusion die 1), so that the waveguide rod 22 automatically breaks away from contact with the acoustic thin wall 12, thereby protecting the acoustic thin wall 12.

[0058] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
