Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of material science and engineering technology, in particular to a polyurethane elastomer pouring defect prediction-online repair method based on digital twinning-in-situ ultrasonic monitoring. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polyurethane elastomers are widely used in key components such as industrial rollers, seals, tires, etc. due to their excellent wear resistance, tear resistance, and high elasticity. The product quality is highly dependent on the process stability of the pouring forming process. Any process fluctuation can easily produce internal defects such as bubbles, micro-cracks, and shrinkage, which can significantly reduce the mechanical properties and durability of the product, and even cause the product to be scrapped. Traditional quality control methods mainly rely on offline sampling after production (such as cutting sampling, X-ray detection or industrial CT scanning). This method is not only destructive and lagging, but also cannot cover all products, making it difficult to achieve real-time feedback and regulation during the production process, which has become a technical bottleneck restricting the improvement of the quality consistency of high-end polyurethane products.
[0003] In recent years, non-destructive testing techniques, especially ultrasonic testing, have been tried for online monitoring of high polymer materials. However, most existing technical solutions are limited to simple monitoring at a single stage, with obvious limitations: first, there is a lack of multi-station coordinated monitoring of the whole process of mixing-pouring-curing, which cannot capture the complete life cycle of defect generation; second, monitoring and decision-making are separated, usually only able to alarm but not to automatically identify defect types, quantify their sizes and evaluate their risk levels, and there is a lack of prediction ability for future evolution trends of defects; finally, and most importantly, existing systems generally form an "open loop", i.e. defects are found but cannot be immediately intervened, still relying on offline processing by human experience, which is inefficient and difficult to ensure effectiveness. How to build a fully automated closed-loop quality control system that integrates real-time sensing, intelligent diagnosis, forward-looking prediction, precise execution and quality verification, and fundamentally realize the paradigm shift from "passive inspection" to "active prediction and repair", is the core problem that needs to be solved in the current polyurethane precision pouring manufacturing field.
