Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an intelligent control method and system for a servo pipe bender, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical processing. Background Art
[0002] The servo tube bender is a high-precision tube forming device that drives the tube through a servo motor. Its core lies in the use of a numerical control system to perform closed-loop control of parameters such as bending angle, speed, and torque. In the fields of automotive manufacturing, aerospace, etc., this technology must meet two core requirements: the bending angle error must be controlled within ±0.1, and the tube ovality must not exceed 2% to avoid assembly failure. During the plastic deformation process of the tube, the yield risk must be monitored in real time to prevent breakage or permanent deformation.
[0003] At present, although the existing servo pipe bending machines have adopted CNC systems, there are still some technical defects. The traditional strain gauge layout is sparse, usually only 4-8 points, which cannot capture the microscopic strain gradient in the direction of the pipe diameter. The stress positioning error is large, and the temperature sensor is not integrated or a static compensation coefficient is used. As a result, heat-sensitive materials such as aluminum pipes undergo stress drift due to temperature rise during high-speed bending. The torque threshold is manually set, such as empirically setting 70% of the yield strength. The safe torque is not dynamically calculated based on the real-time stress field. The observer weight is adjustable, resulting in the risk of human intervention, and there is no rigid constraint mechanism. The permanent deformation rate of the pipe is high. The use of a universal conversion coefficient leads to a large deviation in the output torque of the driver. PWM modulation introduces current ripple, and the yield strength ratio is calculated based on the motor current rather than direct stress data. These problems result in a long measured response delay.
[0004] Therefore, the current intelligent control system of the servo pipe bending machine has chain defects such as distortion of basic data acquisition, inaccurate safety observation, distortion of control signals, and delayed safety response. Summary of the Invention

The strain gauge spacing is no more than one-tenth of the pipe diameter, which can capture microscopic strain gradients, thereby improving the stress positioning accuracy. The MEMS sensor at the center of every 4 strain gauges eliminates thermal gradient errors, and the effectiveness of temperature compensation will also be improved, ultimately providing distortion-free basic data for subsequent stress field calculations and laying the foundation for full-link accuracy. The embodiment of the present invention realizes self-consistent stress field reconstruction of physical dimensions by adopting dynamic temperature compensation of thermal expansion coefficient and calculation of stress change rate field, so that the stress error after compensation is reduced, which is especially suitable for heat-sensitive materials such as stainless steel / aluminum. On the other hand, the stress change rate field reflects the plastic deformation trend of the bent pipe in real time, and the deformation warning speed can also be obtained. Finally, by constructing a time-varying physical field model, input data that conforms to material mechanics is provided for subsequent torque observations. The embodiment of the present invention uses the spatiotemporal feature fusion of the convolutional layer, the fixed weight function of the observer, and the material bending of the rigid constraint. Three-level processing of yield strength generates safe and physically interpretable torque observables. The convolutional layer fuses the stress field and the rate-of-change field, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of key features. Fixed weights mitigate the risk of human intervention, enhancing observation stability, and limiting torque to no more than 80% of yield strength, reducing the permanent deformation rate of the pipe. Ultimately, the output is a dimensionally autonomous torque observable with clear safety boundaries. This embodiment of the present invention establishes a distortion-free control command transmission chain through linear conversion based on the servo drive's inherent conversion coefficients. The inherent conversion coefficients are adaptable to any drive, ensuring a unified control baseline. The linear conversion avoids PWM modulation distortion, reduces current command errors, and ultimately ensures shorter control signal execution delays. This embodiment of the present invention achieves closed-loop control for safe plastic forming through dual-motor coordination in a main motor torque mode and an auxiliary motor position-torque hybrid mode, gravity torque compensation, yield strength ratio monitoring, and dynamic intervention. Main motor gravity compensation eliminates posture errors, improving angular accuracy. Auxiliary motor position constraints reduce pipe ovality. The closed-loop safety monitoring of the yield strength ratio reduces pipe fracture rates, thereby achieving stability across operating conditions. Therefore, the intelligent control method and system of the servo pipe bender provided by the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the chain defects of basic data acquisition distortion, safety observation inaccuracy, control signal distortion, and safety response lag.
