Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent technology for hydro-generator assembly processes, specifically relating to a method and system for configuring tooling for hydro-generator magnetic pole heat sinks based on graph neural networks. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the configuration of tooling fixtures for the rotor pole heat sinks of hydro generators mainly relies on a linear matching method between manual experience and two-dimensional CAD drawings. Traditional solutions use a rule base based on geometric dimensions for fixture positioning point selection, which has three main drawbacks: First, the three-dimensional curved surface structure and asymmetrical layout of the heat sink are difficult to accurately match using manual experience, leading to uneven stress distribution during assembly. Second, existing computer-aided tooling systems fail to effectively integrate multiple physical field parameters such as the material's thermal expansion coefficient and dynamic load distribution, causing the service life prediction error of the tooling fixture to exceed the allowable range. Finally, traditional methods lack the ability to deeply model the topological relationships of irregularly shaped heat sinks, requiring repeated physical trial assembly verification when dealing with novel composite heat dissipation structures.
[0003] Existing intelligent configuration technologies mostly employ machine learning methods based on feature engineering, which have limitations in three dimensions: First, the discretization feature extraction process disrupts the topological correlation between the heat sink surface channels and the supporting ribs, resulting in a large deviation in the calculation of the stress concentration factor of the tooling contact surface; Second, the static parameter model cannot integrate the vibration spectrum data during unit operation in real time, causing the adjustment of the clamping preload to lag behind the actual operating conditions; Third, traditional neural networks have difficulty analyzing the multi-level connection relationships inside the heat sink assembly, increasing the probability of clamping interference when assembling non-standard heat sinks.
