TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mold processing, in particular to a thermosetting mold processing method and system based on artificial intelligence. BACKGROUND
[0002] Thermosetting mold is an industrial mold used for producing thermosetting plastic products. Thermosetting plastics undergo chemical changes during heating, forming a network structure of polymers that will not soften even if heated after molding, so thermosetting molds need to withstand high temperature and high pressure molding process and ensure the dimensional stability and surface quality of the products.
[0003] Thermosetting molds are usually processed by assembling parts according to standards and customer requirements. The quality of mold processing directly affects the service life and performance of the product. The technical bottlenecks of the prior art are as follows:
[0004] (1) Real-time defects: centralized cloud computing architecture causes a delay of more than 200ms, making it difficult to meet the 50ms level response requirement of precision machining;
[0005] (2) Data island problem: heterogeneous device protocols (Modbus / Profinet, etc.) cause more than 30% of the data to be ineffective for virtual simulation;
[0006] (3) Model distortion: the offline digital twin update cycle is as long as 24 hours, with a deviation of more than 15% from the physical production line.
[0007] Therefore, there is a problem of low detection efficiency and high false positive rate, and the subjective nature of humans leads to unsatisfactory quality inspection results. SUMMARY
