[0008] This invention proposes a method for reverse control of production planning and shutdown of injection molding machines.

[0009] A method for reverse-controlling the production plan and stopping operation of an injection molding machine, comprising equipment, a robotic arm, an Internet of Things (IoT), a central control model, and a neural network model, including the following: Several sensors are installed on the device, which collect corresponding parameters of the device's operating status and upload them through the Internet of Things; The device parameters and operating parameters collected by sensors are used to train a neural network model, and the device status is predicted from time series data using the neural network model. The Internet of Things (IoT) collects sensor data and performs state analysis through the neural network model to obtain the current state. When the current state meets a preset threshold, the state is normal and operation continues. When the current state does not meet the preset threshold, the state is abnormal and an early warning is issued. When an early warning is issued or a malfunction occurs, the central control system's big data model analyzes the situation and provides handling strategies, including adjusting production plans, contacting maintenance, suspending equipment, and stopping production. When the central control large model receives an early warning message from the Internet of Things, it performs a dual termination operation through the embedded control system of the control device and the robotic arm.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly described below in conjunction with the examples.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a method for reverse control of injection molding machine production planning to stop operation, including the following: S1: Install sensors or reuse relevant sensors on smart devices. These sensors are installed inside the devices and send relevant parameters to the Internet of Things (IoT). Specific installation: Install a temperature sensor at the mold to collect the cavity temperature. A pressure sensor is installed at the screw to collect the injection pressure. A vibration sensor is installed at the motor to collect vibration acceleration. ,unit ; S2: Video and IoT technologies monitor the operating status of production equipment. Sensors upload relevant parameters via the Internet of Things, such as a sampling frequency of 1Hz, equipment parameters, rated temperature of 180℃, rated pressure of 10MPa, and operating parameters, in real time. The goal of training a neural network model is to predict device status using time-series data. ,in ; in, The device status at time t is 0 - normal, 1 - warning, 2 - fault; This includes sensor data from the past 30 time steps, such as temperature and pressure. These are the model parameters; Attn-LSTM is a long short-term memory network that incorporates an attention mechanism to enhance the weights of data at key time steps.

[0024] The sensors transmit data to the Internet of Things (IoT) in real time, where the cloud analyzes the status and issues warnings through models; on-site, relevant alarms are triggered, with the alarm content provided by the model, prompting relevant actions. S3: Warning or fault situation occurs, such as And last for 5 seconds, or The system calls upon the central control model for analysis and provides processing strategies. These strategies include suspending or stopping equipment operation, notifying the production planning management system (e.g., adjusting the original production plan of 500 units to prioritize maintenance before resuming production), and making relevant status changes to the current plan. Simultaneously, based on relevant issues, such as... Notify the maintenance system to carry out emergency handling; Among them: equipment suspension applies to the early warning status. Or a moderate fault, meaning the equipment parameters are outside the normal range but do not reach the level of "seriously threatening equipment safety or product quality".

[0025] For example: a pressure sensor detects pressure. However, it does not exceed the safety limit, such as 16MPa, or the temperature T briefly exceeds the normal range, such as the normal temperature of 180℃ and the current temperature of 190℃, and the duration is short, such as 5-10 time steps.

[0026] Pausing the equipment at this time can prevent the parameters from deteriorating further, and at the same time allow time for maintenance or parameter adjustment, such as reducing the injection speed or adjusting the temperature setting, without having to completely terminate the production plan.

[0027] Production halt applies to fault conditions. Or a serious warning, meaning that the equipment parameters are seriously out of control, threatening equipment safety, personnel safety or product quality, and cannot be restored to normal through temporary adjustments.

[0028] For example: pressure Far exceeding the safety threshold of 16MPa, mold temperature Temperatures far exceeding the normal upper limit of 250°C, or vibration acceleration It may cause damage to the mechanical structure.

[0029] At this point, production must be forcibly stopped to prevent the malfunction from escalating, such as screw breakage or mold rupture, and emergency repairs must be initiated.

[0030] S4: The relevant switches of the embedded control system of the central control large model directly control the equipment to disconnect or terminate operation; S5: The central control model controls the robotic arm to operate physical buttons, such as the emergency stop button, to terminate the operation. The robotic arm operation process is as follows: The central control model uses a 3D vision camera (Intel RealSense D435) installed at the end of the robotic arm to capture images of the button area, uses the YOLOv8 algorithm to identify the emergency stop button, and outputs its coordinates in the camera coordinate system. After conversion to the robot arm's base coordinate system, it becomes Then, the inverse kinematics function is called to calculate the target angles of the six joints. The robotic arm is controlled to move to the target position at a speed of 50 mm / s. After contact, a pressure of 30 N is applied and held for 0.5 s. After the confirmation button is triggered, it returns to its original position.

[0031] Among them, the DH parameters (Denavit-Hartenberg parameters) are core parameters used to describe the coordinate system relationship of each joint of the robotic arm and to calculate the position and attitude of the robotic arm's end effector. They are used to establish a standardized parameter system for the joint coordinate system of a serial 6-axis robotic arm, and are based on four key parameters: link length. Linkage torsion angle Linkage offset Joint angle It can accurately describe the relative position and attitude relationship between two adjacent joints or links of a robotic arm, and ultimately construct a complete coordinate transformation link from the base coordinate system of the robotic arm to the coordinate system of the end effector.

[0032] Step 1: Collect joint angles (corresponding to the 6 joints of a 6-axis robotic arm), the current rotation angle of each joint is obtained in real time through the joint encoder; Step 2: Substitute the DH parameters These are the fixed parameters of the robotic arm when it leaves the factory. For variables acquired in real time, a "DH transformation matrix" is constructed for adjacent joints. A 4×4 matrix containing translation and rotation information; Step 3: Multiply the DH transformation matrices of the 6 joints sequentially. This yields the total transformation matrix T from the robot arm's base coordinate system to the end effector's coordinate system. Step 4: Extract the Cartesian space coordinates of the robotic arm's end effector from the total transformation matrix T. The corresponding three-dimensional position and attitude of the button, such as roll angle, pitch angle, and yaw angle, are used to ensure that the button is pressed vertically at the end.

[0033] The preset feedback force threshold is 30N, and the preset time is 0.5s.

[0034] The central control big model is an integrated decision-making system used to call the state data output by the trained neural network model and combine it with the production plan to generate processing strategies; the neural network model is a dedicated state prediction model that outputs the equipment status—normal / early warning / fault—based on sensor time series data.

[0035] As an improvement to the above solution, the intelligent device includes an injection molding machine, a screw, a mold, a motor, a sensor, and a controller; The sensors are multiple and are allocated according to actual needs, usually one for each type. If the expected effect cannot be achieved, the number of corresponding sensors is increased. The multiple sensors are installed in the mold, screw, and inside the injection molding machine.

[0036] As an improvement to the above solution, the sensors include temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, switch sensors related to robotic arm operation, and mold switch sensors, and their sensor parameters are continuous, time-series data.

[0037] As an improvement to the above solution, the central control large model trains parameters using sensor parameters obtained from sensors to acquire time-series data. This time-series data is then used to train a neural network model. The trained neural network model includes LSTM models with attention mechanisms, RNN models, Transformer models, and improved models. After obtaining data features, data prediction is achieved using the time-series data. The prediction accuracy is measured by the accuracy rate. Assessment, Objectives .

[0038] As an improvement to the above solution, the central control big model is a machine learning model, which uses a deep learning model and employs one or more of attention-enhanced neural networks, deep neural networks, and GAN models.

[0039] Deep learning models employ one or more of the following: attention-enhanced neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and GAN models.

[0040] As an improvement to the above scheme, the parameter training includes: The model was initially trained manually. Three months of historical data, including 200 fault samples, were used to allow the model to acquire certain features. Then, the model is fine-tuned and learned using historical time parameters. After using the model for a period of time, the relevant parameters are analyzed to obtain certain analytical results. If the expected results are achieved, the accuracy rate will be [not specified]. If the parameter predictions are accurate, then the model can be used; otherwise, the model will not be accurate. The model is then fine-tuned through training.

[0041] As an improvement to the above solution, the sensor obtains data parameters, uploads them to the Internet of Things (IoT), analyzes the data parameters through a model, obtains the device operating status through feature extraction and related features, analyzes the results in the cloud, and transmits them to the production system through the IoT and the operation of physical buttons and related switches by the robotic arm. Based on different parameters, the central control model is called to give different control actions. If the operation is normal ( If the operation is abnormal, then continue working. or If so, the production planning management system will be adjusted, and information will be sent to the maintenance system for maintenance processing; The maintenance system handles issues through manual verification or directly through the Internet of Things (IoT).

[0042] As an improvement to the above solution, the central control big model analyzes sensor data parameters, issues alarms according to relevant rules, processes the alarm results using different time steps to avoid misoperation, and sends the corresponding alarm information to the central control big model for processing. The central control system determines, based on the situation, whether to notify the maintenance system, directly issue a stop command to the embedded control system of the equipment, or directly instruct the central control system to perform relevant processing, such as terminating the operation of physical buttons, or instructing the robotic arm actuator to stop the relevant components of the injection molding machine through its operation button. The algorithm flow for the robotic arm to perform the termination operation is as follows: 1) Receive the stop command from the central control large model, including the target button ID; 2) Retrieve the standard coordinates of the key from the database. and operating force ; 3) Collect the current joint angle of the robotic arm Calculate the position in Cartesian space; 4) The motion trajectory is generated using trapezoidal velocity planning, and the total travel time t ; 5) Send motion commands and simultaneously activate force sensor feedback. When the contact force reaches... Hold for 0.5 seconds and then reset.

[0043] The core parameter of the robotic arm control algorithm is: position loop proportional gain. Integral time Differential time Force ring proportional gain This ensures a smooth operation without overshoot.

[0044] As an improvement to the above scheme, the model is a neural network model, specifically an LSTM model, an RNN model, or a Transformer model. The neural network model has an embedding layer, a mask layer, a hidden layer, and an attention layer. The embedding layer is the input layer of the neural network model, and the input of the input layer is the sensor input parameters, which is a data stream. The neural network model input layer uses a time step method for input. Depending on the sensor, the time step of the model input layer is 10-100, and the length of each time step is one time series data. The neural network model uses an LSTM or RNN network, or a combination of both. The output layer is processed to predict the output at that time step. The output layer network is a softmax layer, or, depending on the situation, a fully connected layer network is used for prediction, or a combination of multiple layers in the network structure; the output layer is an LSTM prediction layer that predicts the output.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the working process of this invention is as follows: During use, sensors are installed or related sensors are reused on the smart device, which includes an injection molding machine. The sensors reuse related sensors and include multiple sensors installed inside the device. The sensors send relevant parameters to the Internet of Things. Video and IoT technologies are used to monitor the operating status of production equipment. Sensors will upload relevant parameters through the Internet of Things. Based on the equipment parameters and operating parameters, a neural network model will be trained. The purpose of the training is to predict the equipment status through time series data. The sensors transmit data to the Internet of Things (IoT) in real time, where the cloud analyzes the status and issues warnings through models; on-site, relevant alarms are triggered, with the alarm content provided by the model, prompting relevant actions. In the event of an early warning or malfunction, the central control system's large-scale model is invoked for analysis, and a handling strategy is provided. The handling strategy includes suspending or stopping the equipment, notifying the production planning management system to make relevant status changes to the current plan, and simultaneously notifying the maintenance system to carry out emergency handling based on the relevant issues. The central control system directly controls the relevant switches of the embedded control system of the equipment to disconnect or terminate operation; the central control system controls the operation of the physical buttons of the robotic arm to terminate the operation.

[0046] Example 2: Based on an improved neural network model The neural network model in this embodiment 2 is an LSTM model that incorporates an attention mechanism. The input layer of the improved neural network model is the sensor input parameters, such as T, P, and F. The input layer input is a data stream, which is input in the form of time steps. Depending on the sensor, the time step of the model input layer is 30, and the length of each time step is 1 second of time series data. The neural network model uses a network structure including an LSTM layer with 64 neurons; an attention layer that calculates weights for 30 time steps; a fully connected layer with 3 neurons, corresponding to 3 states; an output layer activated by softmax that predicts the output result and state probability distribution for that time step. The output layer network is a softmax layer, or, depending on the situation, a fully connected layer network is used for prediction, or a combination of multiple layers; the output layer is an LSTM prediction layer that predicts the output.

[0047] Example 3: Based on an improved deep learning model The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The deep learning model in this embodiment employs one or more of the following: attention-enhanced neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and GAN models.

[0048] Example 4: A method for reverse control of injection molding machine production plan to stop operation, comprising the following steps: S1: Install sensors on smart devices and reuse related sensors. The smart devices include injection molding machines. S2: The sensors include multiple sensors installed inside the device, and the sensors send relevant parameters to the Internet of Things; S3: Video and IoT technologies monitor the operating status of production equipment. Sensors will upload relevant parameters through the Internet of Things. Based on the equipment parameters and operating parameters, a neural network model will be trained. The purpose of the training is to predict the equipment status through time series data. S4: The sensor transmits data to the Internet of Things in real time, and the cloud uses models to analyze the status and issue warnings. S5: Relevant alarms will be triggered on-site, with the alarm content provided by the model, and relevant actions will be taken accordingly; S6: In the event of a warning or malfunction, the central control model is invoked for analysis, and a handling strategy is provided. The handling strategy includes suspending or stopping the equipment, notifying the production planning management system to make relevant status changes to the current plan, and notifying the maintenance system to carry out emergency handling based on the relevant issues. S7: The relevant switches of the embedded control system of the central control large model directly control the equipment to disconnect or terminate operation; S8: The robotic arm operates physical buttons via the central control large model to perform a termination operation. The core algorithm of the robotic arm's reverse control is inverse kinematics solving. For a 6-DOF robotic arm, a numerical iteration method is used: given the end-effector pose...

Let be the pose error vector, and the iteration termination condition be... .

[0049] The software implementation of the robotic arm's reverse control is as follows: A control node is developed based on the ROS system, including a tf coordinate transformation module, a Moveit! motion planning module, and a force control feedback module. The motion planning module uses the RRT algorithm to plan a collision-free path, and the force control module achieves force tracking control through a ROS control loop (500Hz). The code snippet is as follows: cpp voidforceControlCallback(constWrenchStamped::ConstPtr&msg) { floatcurrent_force=msg->wrench.force.z; floaterror=target_force-current_force; floatcmd=Kp*error+Kd*(error-last_error); last_error = error; publishVelocityCommand(cmd); } As an improvement to the above scheme, the model analysis and processing includes inputting relevant features through time series data and manual operation, and training a neural network model, such as an LSTM model.
