Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of intelligent control technology for injection molding machines, specifically relating to an intelligent start-up control method for injection molding machines based on permission isolation and dynamic guidance interface. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, injection molding machines, as one of the core equipment in the plastics processing field, are becoming increasingly complex in structure and functional integration. The steps, parameter verifications, and safety condition checks involved in starting up these machines are becoming increasingly cumbersome. In traditional production environments, starting an injection molding machine often relies on the operator's experience. Many key steps require manual confirmation and gradual setting via various control buttons, mechanical switches, or menu items. This makes the startup process not only time-consuming but also susceptible to variations in operator proficiency. In actual production scenarios, due to the highly specialized nature of industrial equipment, ordinary operators often struggle to fully grasp all the machine's startup steps, parameter meanings, and potential risks within a short timeframe. This can lead to inefficient operation or even safety hazards if key condition checks are insufficient or the sequence of operations is incorrect. Furthermore, the injection molding machine's operating system requires consideration of the interconnected relationships between multiple systems, including hydraulics, temperature control, electrical control, cooling, and air supply. Forcing subsequent processes into the next stage before each system meets its set conditions can easily result in defective products or equipment malfunctions. The accuracy of manually monitoring these conditions inevitably involves oversights. Furthermore, in some factories, in order to improve startup efficiency, some personnel may skip necessary inspection steps or omit confirmation procedures, further increasing potential risks to equipment. Therefore, how to make the startup process more standardized, transparent, and easy to understand while ensuring operational safety has become a long-standing concern in the industry.
[0003] On the other hand, due to significant differences in the professional skills of different personnel, factories generally rely on highly skilled technicians. When these personnel are absent or need to handle multiple equipment tasks simultaneously, ordinary personnel often struggle to independently complete the startup process, resulting in equipment idleness, production delays, or operational errors due to operational pressure. Traditional control systems typically provide only a uniform interface, without differentiating between operators' skill levels, making it easy for novice users to get lost in complex menus and fail to understand the necessity and impact of the current step. These problems are even more pronounced in modern manufacturing, which emphasizes equipment utilization and production continuity. Furthermore, as the functions of injection molding equipment continue to expand, interface options, alarm conditions, and parameter settings are becoming increasingly complex. For inexperienced personnel, quickly identifying key prompts and judging equipment status is quite difficult, thus placing new and higher demands on interface user-friendliness.
[0004] In terms of equipment management, many factories adopt access control mechanisms to ensure production controllability and reduce operational errors. However, traditional access settings often only allow operation of specific parameters or access to certain menus, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust interface processes, operation content, and guidance methods based on access differences. This makes it difficult for access control to truly achieve the effect of standardized operation. Meanwhile, during equipment startup, due to changes in external environmental conditions, equipment preheating status, and system initialization status, various conditions need to be checked at the appropriate time; otherwise, the startup process may not proceed smoothly. However, traditional systems often delegate such judgments and operations to manual execution, resulting in a significant influence of subjective judgment on the startup process and difficulty in maintaining a stable startup success rate. Furthermore, as the manufacturing industry moves towards digitalization and intelligence, enterprises increasingly need control systems that can adapt to different personnel capabilities, possess adaptive guidance capabilities, and automatic monitoring capabilities to reduce manual explanation and training costs and improve the operability of complex equipment. Existing systems still fall short in these aspects.
[0005] Against this backdrop, the industry urgently needs a systematic solution that can reduce human error, improve operational consistency, enhance safety during the startup process, and simultaneously meet the needs of both novices and professionals. This would enable the injection molding machine startup process to be more intelligent, efficient, and standardized, thereby improving the stability and automation level of the entire production line. Summary of the Invention
[0006] One objective of this application is to standardize and intelligentize the injection molding machine startup process by employing a dynamic interface switching mechanism based on permission recognition, combined with phased automatic verification of equipment status, thereby reducing reliance on human experience. The overall technical objective is to accurately differentiate and manage the operational behaviors of different operators throughout the entire process by introducing a permission isolation mechanism and a dynamic guided interface. This ensures that the injection molding machine maintains a high degree of standardization, consistency, and controllability from startup to fully automated production. This application aims to overcome the limitations of traditional systems that rely on human experience, involve complex procedures, and are prone to errors. By intelligently recognizing user permission levels and automatically switching interface types, high-permission users can efficiently perform professional operations, while low-permission users can complete all necessary operations in a step-by-step and explicit manner with the help of a guided interface. This effectively avoids safety hazards and equipment malfunctions caused by differences in operational capabilities.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides an intelligent start-up control method for injection molding machines based on access control and a dynamic guided interface, comprising the following steps: S1: Preset process parameters through the human-computer interaction interface; S2: Set up the operation interface, which includes a guided operation interface and a professional operation interface; S3: After a user logs in, the control system identifies the user's permission level and determines whether the permission level is greater than 0. If so, load the professional operation interface and perform the corresponding operation; If not, load the guided operation interface, perform the corresponding operation, and determine whether the stage jump conditions for the current stage are met.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S1 above, the process parameters include barrel temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, and semi-automatic production quantity.
[0009] Furthermore, the specific operation process of step S2 is as follows: A professional operating interface is set up for the injection molding machine; The operation of the injection molding machine is divided into four consecutive operation phases; Set up a corresponding guided operation interface and stage jump conditions for each operation stage.
[0010] Furthermore, the operation phases of the injection molding machine sequentially include the injection molding machine start-up preparation operation phase, the injection molding machine ready operation phase, the injection molding machine production preparation operation phase, and the injection molding machine fully automatic production operation phase.
[0011] Furthermore, the guided operation interface includes a startup preparation guided operation interface, a ready guided operation interface, a production preparation guided operation interface, and a fully automated production guided operation interface.
[0012] Furthermore, the stage transition conditions include start-up preparation transition conditions, ready transition conditions, and production preparation transition conditions.
[0013] Furthermore, the start-up preparation jump condition is that the barrel temperature exceeds the preset barrel temperature and the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds the preset hydraulic temperature; the ready jump condition is when the robot arm of the injection molding machine returns to its original position and all axes move to the production preparation position; the production preparation jump condition is that the semi-automatic production quantity exceeds the preset semi-automatic production quantity.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S2 above, the guided operation interface is equipped with buttons, including a confirmation button and a stop button, so that the user can trigger the corresponding operation by using the set confirmation button and stop button.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S2 above, the control system will monitor the current operating stage of the injection molding machine in real time and determine whether the stage transition conditions for the current stage are met: If the conditions are met, the control system will automatically trigger a phase transition. If the conditions are not met, the guided operation interface provides a running report for the user to make corrections until the stage jump conditions are met.
[0016] Furthermore, the specific execution process of the correction operation is as follows: The control system provides error reports through the guided user interface. Users can view the error report, locate the correction point, and reprocess the correction point.
[0017] Furthermore, before the control system automatically triggers a stage jump, the user can use the stop button to jump to the next stage and return to the previous stage.
[0018] Furthermore, the specific execution process of the injection molding machine start-up preparation and operation phase is as follows: In the guided operation interface for startup preparation, the user first confirms the start-up preparation phase of the injection molding machine by pressing the OK button. The control system generates inspection prompts and provides them to the user through pop-up windows in the guided operation interface; After receiving the prompts, the user will perform equipment inspections on the cooling water supply, compressed air supply, and feeding device in sequence. After completing the equipment inspection, the user can confirm the results by pressing the confirmation button. After the equipment inspection is confirmed, the control system automatically executes the equipment preparation actions, which include turning on the equipment enable, starting the hydraulic oil temperature preheating and starting the material cylinder heating. The control system monitors the barrel temperature and hydraulic oil temperature in real time and determines whether the corresponding process parameters have been reached. When both the barrel temperature and the hydraulic oil temperature reach the preset process parameters, the control system prompts the user to confirm via the confirmation button on the guided operation interface and then automatically jumps to the next stage.
[0019] Furthermore, when the barrel temperature and / or hydraulic oil temperature do not reach the preset process parameters, the guided operation interface will guide the user to perform a correction operation.
[0020] Furthermore, the specific execution process of the injection molding machine's ready-to-run phase is as follows: The user confirms the start of the ready-to-run phase by pressing the confirmation button; The control system controls the robotic arm to perform a return-to-origin movement; After the robot arm is reset, the control system automatically controls the mold opening shaft, the central shaft and the ejector pin shaft to move to the production preparation position; After the shaft positioning is completed, the control system guides the user to start the material feeding device by confirming the button, and performs the cleaning operation according to the preset cleaning program when the cleaning function is activated. After the cleaning operation is completed, the control system automatically controls the injection unit to retract to the final position.
[0021] Furthermore, the specific execution process of the injection molding machine production preparation and operation phase is as follows: Users confirm the start of the production preparation and operation phase by pressing the confirmation button. The control system guides the user to perform mold inspection operations and confirms that the mold status meets production requirements based on the inspection results; After the mold inspection is completed and the user restarts the semi-automatic production cycle by pressing the confirmation button again, the control system controls the injection molding machine to execute the semi-automatic production cycle according to the preset semi-automatic production quantity. The control system records the production quantity in real time during the semi-automatic production process and determines whether the current cumulative quantity has reached the preset semi-automatic production quantity.
[0022] Furthermore, when the production quantity reaches the preset semi-automatic production quantity, the control system automatically switches to the fully automatic production operation stage, and automatically starts the robot arm operation when the robot arm function is activated.
[0023] The embodiments of this application have the following technical effects: (1) This application introduces a permission isolation mechanism into the injection molding machine startup control process, enabling the system to automatically identify the permission level after user login and load the corresponding type of operation interface according to the permission difference, thereby fundamentally improving the safety, standardization, and operational stability of the equipment startup process. When the system identifies a user with a high permission level, it can directly provide a professional operation interface, allowing skilled personnel to perform startup and preparation operations more efficiently without unnecessary restrictions; when the system identifies a user with a basic permission level, it automatically switches to a guided operation interface, continuously guiding the user through step-by-step and graphical interface content, enabling them to complete operations such as cooling system activation, air source check, and electrical control power-on in sequence under clear process prompts, and requiring confirmation at each step, thereby avoiding the risk of misoperation due to insufficient experience, misunderstanding, or omission of steps. This permission isolation design not only effectively blocks the potential dangers brought about by low-permission personnel directly accessing professional functions, but also constructs an operating environment that can be adaptively adjusted according to the personnel's ability, so that the entire equipment startup process no longer depends on individual experience, but is actively controlled by the system, thereby significantly improving the startup success rate and safety. By setting confirmation and stop buttons in the basic permission user interface, dangerous operations can be interrupted in a timely manner, while critical steps cannot be skipped without confirmation, thus enforcing standardized operational behavior and preventing violations. Furthermore, the permission isolation mechanism enhances the controllability of equipment management, enabling managers to allocate permissions according to production needs. This ensures that critical operations are always performed by professionals, while basic operations are guided and assisted by the system, effectively reducing training costs and quality fluctuations caused by operational differences in large-scale production environments. Therefore, the permission isolation mechanism of this application not only strengthens the safety boundary of the startup process but also lays a crucial foundation for the standardization and intelligentization of injection molding machine startup control.
[0024] (2) This application utilizes a guided operation interface to guide the injection molding machine startup through multiple stages step by step. Startup preparation, equipment readiness, production preparation, and automatic production stages are designed as independent guidance nodes, enabling users with basic permissions to complete the entire process in a structured manner with system prompts, without requiring complex professional knowledge. This guided interface, through graphical pop-ups, multi-step prompts, a mandatory confirmation mechanism, and real-time status feedback, allows users to quickly understand the purpose, content, and risk points of the current step, avoiding confusion and misunderstanding, thereby significantly improving the clarity and readability of the operation. Since each stage is bound to its own stage switching conditions, the system automatically checks whether the equipment status meets the requirements after the user performs the operation, such as whether the oil temperature has reached the preset process parameters, whether the barrel has completed heating, and whether the robotic arm has returned to its origin. When all conditions are met, the system automatically proceeds to the next stage; otherwise, it provides a prompt and blocks the process. This mechanism improves the continuity and consistency of the entire process, preventing premature entry into subsequent stages due to human judgment bias and avoiding missed checks. The guided user interface breaks down the complex startup process into user-understandable steps, enabling novice operators to achieve a high success rate on their first attempt and quickly become familiar with the process through repeated use, thus significantly reducing reliance on operator experience. Furthermore, the interface uses a step-by-step confirmation mechanism to prevent users from skipping key steps by clicking repeatedly, improving the process's rigor. Compared to traditional systems where equipment malfunctions may occur due to incorrect settings, disordered sequences, or unrecognized warnings caused by insufficient operator experience, this guided interface greatly reduces the probability of human error, making the startup process more robust and reliable. Simultaneously, the interface content can automatically adapt to user needs without additional training, allowing companies to quickly arrange production preparation tasks when introducing new employees or temporary operators, improving production line efficiency. Therefore, this guided interface demonstrates significant technical advantages in terms of user experience, process standardization, and operational consistency. Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0026] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are merely a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments of this application. These partial embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Based on the embodiments provided in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] This application, by introducing a permission recognition mechanism, dynamically loading interface structure, a phased guided process, and an automatic phase switching strategy based on real-time monitoring, enables the injection molding machine's startup and production preparation process to achieve significantly higher levels of intelligence, process standardization, and operational safety than traditional systems. Unlike existing technologies that generally rely on human experience, lack process constraints, and have a single, indiscriminate user interface, this application automatically determines permission levels through user login verification and loads either a professional or guided operating interface based on the level of permission. This allows the entire system to implement differentiated management for different users during the startup process, breaking through the traditional, crude management model of industrial equipment that relies solely on mechanical permission restrictions or simply blocking access to high-risk functions. It achieves structured and process-oriented intervention in the operation process itself, transforming permission management from static parameter restrictions to dynamic process control.
[0030] This application's access control not only affects the types of interfaces that can be accessed, but also profoundly impacts the process stages that users can enter. It prevents low-privilege users from skipping critical steps or circumventing necessary condition checks, eliminating the problem of equipment malfunctions, product defects, or safety risks caused by novice or inexperienced personnel skipping checkpoints in traditional systems. This application constructs a continuous, interlocking chain of steps within the basic access user interface, requiring explicit confirmation from the user at each step and performing secondary verification based on real-time equipment data. This ensures that every interface transition and stage switch is based on the actual operating conditions of the equipment, thereby greatly improving operational consistency and reducing the probability of misoperation. In existing technologies, interfaces often only display parameters or alarm status, and whether the equipment meets the start-up conditions often requires operator judgment. This application, however, monitors the equipment status in real time, sending information such as oil temperature, barrel status, cooling system status, electrical control system status, and robot arm position, along with preset conditions, to the logic judgment module. This allows the system to automatically determine whether to proceed to the next stage even without the user's professional knowledge, significantly reducing reliance on human experience and improving the intelligence level of the start-up process. Meanwhile, this application employs a guided operation interface to provide step-by-step guidance through the startup preparation stage, equipment readiness stage, production preparation stage, and fully automated production stage. This allows users with lower privileges to complete all key operations simply by following system prompts without needing to understand complex principles. This significantly lowers the operational threshold, enabling the injection molding machine to maintain stable and consistent startup quality even in production environments with uneven personnel skills and high staff turnover. In traditional on-site operations, new employees often require extensive learning and supervision by experienced personnel before they can perform startup operations. However, this application replaces manual instruction with an embedded interactive guided process, allowing novice users to accurately understand and complete the process on their first use. This significantly shortens the learning cycle, reduces management costs, and lowers the error rate caused by insufficient training.
[0031] Compared to the potential confusion for novice users caused by a single interface in existing technologies, the layered interface system of this application places both professional and ordinary users in an operating environment suitable for their skill levels. This avoids inefficiency for professional users due to overly guided interfaces, and prevents ordinary users from making accidental touches or disordered operations due to overly complex interface functions. It achieves a dynamic balance between efficient system setup and safe booting within the same system. Furthermore, the phased structure of this application has extremely high controllability. Each phase is bound to a specific boot interface and specific entry conditions. The system can determine that a phase is incomplete and prevent entry into the next phase if any condition is missing. This transforms the startup process from a linear sequence to a state machine-like logical structure automatically driven by the device status. Each step depends not only on user operation but also on the actual operating state of the device, making the process more rigorous, reliable, and resistant to misoperation. In existing technologies, due to the lack of strict stage control, equipment may prematurely enter subsequent steps before reaching a stable state, leading to mold damage, abnormal oil pressure, or unstable product quality. This application effectively avoids such problems by automatically controlling stage switching, transforming the startup process from "relying on human supervision" to "automatically controlling safety boundaries by the system," thus improving the overall operational safety level. More importantly, the real-time monitoring module and interface control module in this application are deeply integrated, enabling the system to automatically read the equipment status and perform logical judgments after each user confirmation operation. This "dual judgment mechanism" ensures that even if the user misjudges or fails to notice equipment abnormalities, the system can still capture unsatisfactory operating states in the background and proactively prevent risky operations, achieving a near-"forced safety" operating strategy. It no longer relies on human vigilance but uses system intelligence as the core safety guarantee. In addition, this application particularly enhances the transparency and explainability of user interaction. The display content of each stage can provide users with the current stage of the equipment, the items to be executed, and operation feedback, enabling users to understand the purpose of the current operation and reducing the possibility of misunderstanding or blind operation. In contrast, traditional systems often only provide static screens, requiring users to memorize the process steps and sequence themselves. However, the interface system of this application can dynamically prompt the stage, items to be confirmed, and equipment status, significantly reducing the cognitive burden and enabling ordinary operators to achieve a level of consistent operation similar to that of professionals.
[0032] In terms of professional operation, the professional interface of this application allows high-privilege users to bypass the basic boot interface and directly and quickly perform in-depth operations, thereby improving debugging efficiency. Especially when multiple attempts, parameter changes, or fault recovery are required within a short period, professionals can quickly access the professional interface for efficient operation, unconstrained by the boot process. Simultaneously, this application uses common stage judgment logic between the professional interface and the boot interface, ensuring that professional users enjoy high efficiency while remaining protected by automatic system monitoring and security logic. This prevents them from bypassing necessary device condition checks due to rapid operation, thus balancing efficiency and security. Traditional systems, when opening a professional interface, often sacrifice process protection, potentially allowing high-privilege users to inadvertently cause incorrect startup sequences. This application, however, solidifies stage condition checks into the system's underlying logic, requiring conditions to be met for any interface to proceed, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of the system without reducing the efficiency of professional operations.
[0033] This application provides an intelligent start-up control method for injection molding machines based on permission isolation and dynamic guidance interface, including the following steps: S1: Preset process parameters through the human-computer interaction interface; S2: Set up the operation interface, which includes a guided operation interface and a professional operation interface; S3: After a user logs in, the control system identifies the user's permission level and determines whether the permission level is greater than 0. If so, load the professional operation interface and perform the corresponding operation; If not, load the guided operation interface, perform the corresponding operation, and determine whether the stage jump conditions for the current stage are met.
[0034] Specifically, this embodiment sets up the basic architecture of the operation interface during system initialization. The operation interface includes two main categories: one is a professional operation interface for professional operators, and the other is a guided operation interface for users with insufficient operation experience or low permissions.
[0035] Specifically, these two types of interfaces are distinguished internally by interface identifiers and are automatically registered to the interface management module upon startup. This allows the control system to automatically retrieve the corresponding interface based on the user's permission level after login. To facilitate dynamic interface switching, this embodiment constructs a multi-level interface resource structure within the interface management module. A rendering engine loads professional interface resources and guided interface resources separately. The professional operation interface presents a relatively open operating environment, with function buttons, parameter configuration windows, and status monitoring windows presented in a high-density, freely selectable path format, enabling professionals to quickly locate the required operation and perform the corresponding actions. The guided interface, on the other hand, adopts a process-oriented layout. Its interface structure is designed according to the continuous logical sequence required for the injection molding machine's operation. Each stage corresponds to an independent interface template, and each interface template is sequentially connected through stage logic. This ensures that after entering a stage, the user must complete all necessary conditions for that stage according to the interface prompts before proceeding to the next stage.
[0036] Specifically, to ensure the universality and maintainability of the interface, both the professional interface and the guided interface are built as extensible modules in the program design. This allows the interface to be updated according to new operational requirements or changes in production processes during future functional iterations. In setting up the operation interface, this embodiment also uniformly plans the display method of system status information. This allows the interface to dynamically read current equipment temperature parameters, pressure parameters, operating status, shaft position information, and other data, displaying them on the interface in the form of charts, numerical prompts, or graphical symbols, so that users with different permissions can grasp the equipment status in real time. In the guided interface, the presentation of this data is more prominent and concise. By enlarging key items, using color prompts, and displaying status lights, users with lower permissions can understand the changes in various statuses with the interface prompts, reducing misunderstandings caused by a lack of professional knowledge.
[0037] Specifically, the process parameters configured above include, but are not limited to, barrel temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, and semi-automatic production quantity.
[0038] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a pre-defined error message mechanism in its interface design. This allows the interface to immediately display a pop-up notification when it detects an abnormal device status, preventing the user from performing potentially dangerous operations. The entire interface setup process also includes constructing key events and interface transition logic, ensuring that each function key in the interface has a clear trigger logic. For example, in the guided interface, confirmation and stop keys are configured. These keys are bound to corresponding logical events within the system, so that each key press by the user triggers a re-verification of the current state. Simultaneously, to support staged operation logic, this embodiment also establishes a stage identifier register at the system level, enabling the interface to automatically display the corresponding interface template based on the stage identifier and retrieve different interface content according to the stage logic.
[0039] Specifically, the operation process of step S2 is as follows: A professional operating interface is set up for the injection molding machine; The operation of the injection molding machine is divided into four consecutive operation phases; Set up a corresponding guided operation interface and stage jump conditions for each operation stage.
[0040] Specifically, the operation phases of the injection molding machine include, in sequence, the injection molding machine start-up preparation phase, the injection molding machine ready operation phase, the injection molding machine production preparation phase, and the injection molding machine fully automatic production operation phase.
[0041] Specifically, the guided operation interface includes a startup preparation guided operation interface, a ready guided operation interface, a production preparation guided operation interface, and a fully automated production guided operation interface.
[0042] Specifically, the stage transition conditions include start-up preparation transition conditions, ready transition conditions, and production preparation transition conditions.
[0043] Specifically, the start-up preparation jump condition is that the barrel temperature exceeds the preset barrel temperature and the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds the preset hydraulic temperature; the ready jump condition is when the robot arm of the injection molding machine returns to its original position and all axes move to the production preparation position; the production preparation jump condition is that the semi-automatic production quantity exceeds the semi-automatic production quantity.
[0044] Specifically, in step S2 above, the guided operation interface is equipped with buttons, including a confirmation button and a stop button, so that the user can trigger the corresponding operation by using the confirmation button and the stop button.
[0045] Specifically, in step S2 above, the control system monitors the current operating stage of the injection molding machine in real time and determines whether the stage transition conditions for the current stage are met: If the conditions are met, the control system will automatically trigger a phase transition. If the conditions are not met, the guided operation interface provides a running report for the user to make corrections until the stage jump conditions are met.
[0046] Specifically, the execution process of the correction operation is as follows: The control system provides error reports through the guided user interface. Users can view the error report, locate the correction point, and reprocess the correction point.
[0047] Specifically, before the control system automatically triggers the stage jump, the user can use the stop button to jump to the terminal stage and return to the previous stage.
[0048] Specifically, the execution process of the injection molding machine start-up preparation phase is as follows: In the guided operation interface for startup preparation, the user first confirms the start-up preparation phase of the injection molding machine by pressing the OK button. The control system generates inspection prompts and provides them to the user through pop-up windows in the guided operation interface; After receiving the prompts, the user will perform equipment inspections on the cooling water supply, compressed air supply, and feeding device in sequence. After completing the equipment inspection, the user can confirm the results by pressing the confirmation button. After the equipment inspection is confirmed, the control system automatically executes the equipment preparation actions, which include turning on the equipment enable, starting the hydraulic oil temperature preheating and starting the material cylinder heating. The control system continuously monitors the barrel temperature and hydraulic oil temperature, and determines whether the corresponding process parameters have been reached. When both the barrel temperature and the hydraulic oil temperature reach the specified process parameters, the control system prompts the user to confirm via the confirmation button on the guided operation interface and then automatically jumps to the next stage.
[0049] Specifically, when the barrel temperature and / or hydraulic oil temperature do not reach the preset process parameters, the guided operation interface will guide the user to perform a correction operation.
[0050] Specifically, the execution process of the injection molding machine's ready-to-run phase is as follows: The user confirms the start of the ready-to-run phase by pressing the confirmation button; The control system controls the robotic arm to perform a return-to-origin movement; After the robot arm is reset, the control system automatically controls the mold opening shaft, the central shaft and the ejector pin shaft to move to the production preparation position; After the shaft positioning is completed, the control system guides the user to start the material feeding device by confirming the button, and performs the cleaning operation according to the preset cleaning program when the cleaning function is activated. After the cleaning operation is completed, the control system automatically controls the injection unit to retract to the final position.
[0051] Specifically, the execution process of the injection molding machine production preparation and operation phase is as follows: Users confirm the start of the production preparation and operation phase by pressing the confirmation button. The control system guides the user to perform mold inspection operations and confirms that the mold status meets production requirements based on the inspection results; After the mold inspection is completed and the user restarts the semi-automatic production cycle by pressing the confirmation button again, the control system controls the injection molding machine to execute the semi-automatic production cycle according to the preset semi-automatic production quantity. The control system records the semi-automatic production quantity in real time during the semi-automatic production process and determines whether the current cumulative quantity has reached the process parameters.
[0052] Specifically, when the semi-automatic production quantity reaches the process parameters, the control system automatically switches to the fully automatic production operation stage, and automatically starts the robot arm operation when the robot arm function is activated.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the system starts up, the login interface is entered. Users need to log in by entering their employee ID, password, or scanning their personnel identification code. The system verifies the user's identity through its internal user database and retrieves the corresponding permission level data.
[0054] Specifically, permission levels are represented numerically, with "0" representing basic permissions and "1" and above representing higher-level permissions. When the system determines that a user's permission level is greater than 0, it identifies the user as a professional or administrative user. The system then automatically loads a professional operation interface, allowing the user to independently select various operation menus to perform operations such as startup preparation, equipment debugging, or parameter configuration without being restricted by guided processes.
[0055] Specifically, during the loading of the professional interface, the system simultaneously activates various internal operation commands that are allowed to be invoked by professional-level users, enabling these users to access more in-depth functional modules of the device, such as parameter setting modules and maintenance mode testing modules, thereby achieving the goal of efficient operation.
[0056] Specifically, when the system recognizes that the user's permission level is 0, the system immediately loads a guided operation interface. This interface is presented in a phased sequence, gradually guiding the user to perform all necessary operations starting from the startup preparation phase.
[0057] Specifically, in this interface mode, the system first locks the available functions for the user in the current stage, requiring the user to complete the system-specified steps, such as confirming the cooling system is enabled, confirming the air supply is normal, and confirming the electronic control system is powered on. The user is required to confirm each step using the confirmation button on the interface. When the user presses the confirmation button, the system immediately reads the corresponding data points of the device, such as the cooling system pressure detection point, the air supply pressure detection point, and the electronic control system status register, and compares this data with the preset stage switching conditions. If the comparison result shows that all entry conditions for the current stage are met, the system automatically triggers a stage jump and switches to the guidance interface for the next stage. If the comparison result shows that a certain condition is still not met, the interface immediately displays the corresponding prompt information and prevents the user from entering the next stage, requiring them to continue executing the current step or reconfirm the device status.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the system continuously monitors the status throughout the entire guided interface operation. It not only makes judgments after user confirmation, but also periodically reads the device status during system operation. When an abnormality is detected in the device at a certain step, such as a drop in air source pressure, abnormal cooling temperature, or an alarm in the electronic control system, the interface will immediately pop up an abnormality prompt and require the user to re-execute the steps of the current stage according to preset logic.
[0059] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a stop button in the guided operation mode. The purpose of this button is to allow low-privilege users to stop the current process at any time, enabling the system to immediately return the device to a safe state and pause operation, preventing the device from entering an unsafe state due to user uncertainty or erroneous behavior. On the other hand, when high-privilege users load the professional operation interface, although the system does not forcibly execute the stage jump logic, the underlying system still monitors the device status. When certain key conditions are not met, prompts will still be issued. Therefore, while high-privilege users in the professional operation interface have greater freedom, they are still protected by the system's security logic.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although this application has disclosed the preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-mentioned technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this application without departing from the content of the technical solution of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
