The AI ​​analysis plugin processes the target workpiece model to identify features such as undercuts, thin walls, and reinforcing ribs, and determines whether mechanisms such as sliders and angled ejectors are needed, thereby determining the composition of the demolding components. Based on the shape and size parameters, dimensional tolerance requirements are marked on the target workpiece model. The parting line is selected based on the target workpiece model, and the parting surface is further optimized. Shrinkage compensation is performed based on material properties, and the core structure and cavity structure are adjusted to the required dimensions before automatically generating the core model and cavity model. After processing the target workpiece drawings and related drawings, such as product assembly drawings containing the target workpiece, the AI ​​analysis plugin identifies and marks the regional functional types of each area on the surface of the target workpiece model to facilitate further mold design and reduce the impact of the deployment position of each functional component of the injection mold on the appearance and functionality of the target workpiece.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this application: the step of arraying several detection base points on the surface of the target workpiece model, obtaining the minimum thickness value corresponding to each detection base point, and generating a cooling demand distribution map of the surface of the target workpiece model based on the distribution characteristics of each detection base point includes:

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, since the cooling requirement of the injection molding target workpiece is affected by the plastic thickness, the thicker the plastic is, the greater the cooling requirement is, therefore, a plurality of detection base points are arranged on the surface of the target workpiece model, the minimum thickness value corresponding to each detection base point is measured by a three-dimensional modeling software, so as to determine the thickness condition at each detection base point, and facilitate subsequent evaluation of the influence of the plastic thickness on the cooling requirement; in addition, the temperature of the flowing plastic gradually decreases during the flowing process, therefore, based on the position information of each detection base point, the plastic flowing distance between the nearest pouring gates is measured to obtain each pouring distance, so as to subsequently evaluate the influence of the pouring distance on the cooling requirement of the detection base point, based on the minimum thickness value and the pouring distance, the cooling requirement evaluation value is calculated by a corresponding calculation formula, so as to determine the cooling requirement of different regions of the surface of the target workpiece; the cooling requirement evaluation value of each detection base point is divided into a value interval, so as to simplify the cooling requirement distribution of different regions, and generate a cooling requirement distribution map of the surface of the target workpiece model, so as to subsequently design the cooling runner of the injection mold.

Since the cooling requirement values of different regions on the surface of the injection molded part are different, for example, regions with high appearance requirements and high assembly precision requirements need to be cooled first, and the core side surface needs to be cooled first, therefore, based on the position information of each detection base point, corresponding point property information is determined, including region function type, weld property type and contact surface type, to further calculate the undetermined additional term in the evaluation value calculation formula, thereby improving the evaluation rationality of the cooling requirements of different regions on the surface of the target workpiece.

[0038] Based on the cooling flow channel distribution lines, a plurality of conformal flow channel deployment lines are set in the core mold and the cavity mold;

[0039] Based on the ratio of the product of the average cooling requirement evaluation value of each segment of the cooling flow channel distribution line and the area of the equal cooling requirement region in which the segment is located, the ratio of the flow channel surface area corresponding to each segment of the cooling flow channel is determined to generate the cooling flow channel distribution scheme;

[0040] The cooling flow channel distribution lines intersect each equal cooling demand line, and the flow direction is arranged from high to low along the cooling demand; the as-shape flow channel arrangement line refers to a reference line for determining the cooling flow channel arrangement position; the cooling flow channel distribution scheme records the position of a plurality of cooling flow channels, the cooling liquid flow direction, and the surface area of each section of the flow channel.

[0099] in To detect the base point identifier, As the detection base point The cooling requirement assessment value, For thickness evaluation coefficient, As the detection base point The minimum thickness value, This is the distance evaluation coefficient. As the detection base point The pouring distance, Additional items to be determined; the specific value of the additional items to be determined can be set to 0, or other items that may affect the cooling requirements of the target workpiece can be added; in this embodiment, each coefficient can be set and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0100] Specifically, in addition, the temperature of the flowing plastic will gradually decrease during the flow process. Therefore, based on the position information of each detection base point, the flow distance of the plastic between the nearest gate is measured to obtain the pouring distance, so as to evaluate the impact of the pouring distance on the cooling demand at the detection base point. Based on the minimum thickness value and the pouring distance, the cooling demand evaluation value is calculated by the corresponding calculation formula in order to determine the cooling demand of different areas on the surface of the target workpiece.

[0101] S33: Based on the value range of the cooling demand assessment value of each detection base point, generate a cooling demand distribution map of the target workpiece model surface.

[0102] In this embodiment, the cooling demand distribution map includes several equal cooling demand zones set according to the range of cooling demand assessment values, and each location within the lamp cooling demand zone can be considered to have the same cooling demand.

[0103] Specifically, the cooling demand assessment values ​​of each detection base point are divided into ranges to simplify the distribution of cooling demand in different areas, thereby generating a cooling demand distribution map of the target workpiece model surface, which will then be used for the design of the injection mold cooling channel.

[0104] Prior to step S32: calculating the cooling requirement assessment, the following steps are included:

[0105] S321: Obtain weld line location information based on the core model and cavity model, and determine the weld area of ​​the target workpiece model based on the weld line location information.

[0106] In this embodiment, the welding area completely encloses the corresponding weld line; the location of the weld line can be determined through experiments or computer program simulation of injection molding, depending on actual needs.

[0107] Specifically, since the cooling requirements of the weld line area differ from those of other areas, injection molding experiments or injection molding simulation analyses are conducted based on the generated core model and cavity model to determine the weld line location of the injection molded part and obtain weld line location information. Based on the influence range of the weld line on the strength of the injection molded part, the weld line location is expanded, and the welding area that completely encloses the weld line is determined on the target workpiece model, which facilitates the subsequent targeted evaluation of the cooling requirements of the welding area.

[0108] S322: Determine the corresponding point property information based on the location information of each detection base point, and calculate the pending additional items in the calculation formula of the cooling demand assessment value based on the point property information corresponding to each detection base point.

[0109] In this embodiment, the point property information includes area function type, welding property type and contact surface type. Welding property type includes welding area and non-welding area, and contact surface type includes fixed mold contact surface and moving mold contact surface.

[0110] The formula for calculating the undetermined additional items is:

[0111]

[0112] in This is the regional function assessment coefficient. As the detection base point a region function type assignment value of the detection base point a corresponding value determined according to a region function type of the detection base point, preferably, an appearance region corresponding value > a fitting region corresponding value > a non-key region corresponding value, a weld mark evaluation coefficient, a detection base point a weld region assignment value of the detection base point a corresponding value determined according to a weld property type of the detection base point, preferably, a weld region corresponding value > a non-weld region corresponding value, and the weld region can also be assigned according to the proximity to the weld mark according to actual needs. a contact surface evaluation coefficient, a detection base point a contact surface assignment value of the detection base point a corresponding value determined according to a contact surface type of the detection base point, preferably, a moving die contact surface corresponding value > a fixed die contact surface corresponding value.

[0113] Specifically, since the cooling demand values of different regions of the injection molded part surface are different, for example, regions with high appearance requirements and high assembly precision requirements need to be cooled first, and the core side surface needs to be cooled first, therefore, based on the position information of each detection base point, the corresponding point property information is determined, including region function type, weld property type and contact surface type, to further calculate the undetermined additional term in the evaluation value calculation formula, and thus the rationality of the evaluation of the cooling demand of different regions of the target workpiece surface is improved.

[0114] S40: Determine the cooling channel distribution scheme of the core model and the cavity model based on the cooling demand distribution map to generate an injection mold model.

[0115] In this embodiment, the region function type includes appearance region, fitting region and non-key region; and the cooling channel distribution scheme records the pipe diameter and liquid flow direction of the cooling channel.

[0116] Specifically, the cooling channel distribution scheme of the core model and the cavity model is determined based on the cooling demand distribution map, thereby generating an injection mold model, so as to optimize the distribution of the cooling channel in the injection mold design link, and further optimize the temperature control effect of the injection mold.

[0117] In step S40, the following steps are included:

[0118] S41: Draw corresponding isocooling demand lines on the core model and the cavity model based on the cooling demand distribution map, and set a plurality of cooling channel distribution lines in the workpiece contact surface of the core model and the cavity model based on the preset cooling channel deployment amount.

[0119] In the embodiment, the cooling demand distribution map records a plurality of equal cooling demand areas of the target workpiece model surface and equal cooling demand lines for dividing the equal cooling demand areas; the cooling flow channel distribution lines intersect the equal cooling demand lines, and the flow directions are arranged from high to low according to the cooling demand.

[0120] Specifically, the corresponding equal cooling demand lines are drawn on the workpiece contact surface of the core model and the cavity model according to the cooling demand distribution map, and a plurality of cooling flow channel distribution lines are uniformly arranged in the workpiece contact surface of the core model and the cavity model according to the cooling flow channel deployment amount, so as to assist subsequent design of the cooling flow channel of the injection mold.

[0121] S42: A plurality of conformal flow channel deployment lines are arranged in the core model and the cavity model based on the cooling flow channel distribution lines.

[0122] In the embodiment, the conformal flow channel deployment line refers to a reference line for determining the cooling flow channel deployment position.

[0123] Specifically, a plurality of conformal flow channel deployment lines are arranged in the core model and the cavity model based on the cooling flow channel distribution lines, so that the distances of the cooling flow channel segments to the target workpiece are equal, so as to improve the uniformity of the cooling effect of the cooling flow channel on the target workpiece.

[0124] S43: The ratio of the flow channel surface area of each segment of the cooling flow channel is determined based on the ratio of the product of the average cooling demand evaluation value of the equal cooling demand area where each segment of the cooling flow channel distribution line is located and the area of the equal cooling demand area, so as to generate a cooling flow channel distribution scheme.

[0125] In the embodiment, the cooling flow channel distribution scheme records the positions of a plurality of cooling flow channels, the flow directions of the cooling liquid, and the flow channel surface areas of each segment.

[0126] Specifically, since the cooling demands of different regions of the target workpiece are different, and the cooling amount is also different, the ratio of the flow channel surface area of each segment of the cooling flow channel is determined based on the ratio of the product of the average cooling demand evaluation value of the equal cooling demand area where each segment of the cooling flow channel distribution line is located and the area of the equal cooling demand area, so as to generate a cooling flow channel distribution scheme, and improve the matching degree of the cooling amount provided by the cooling flow channel and the required heat dissipation amount.

[0127] It should be understood that the sequence numbers of the steps in the above embodiments do not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of the processes should be determined according to their functions and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
