Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spraying methods, and more specifically to a method for coating a molded placenta. Background Technology
[0002] As a key tooling in industrial production, the uniformity and consistency of the surface coating of molded jigs directly affect the quality and lifespan of the final product. However, molded jigs typically have complex irregular surface structures, including continuous curved surfaces, deep holes, blind holes, and sharp edges; these irregular surfaces, due to abrupt changes in their geometric characteristics during the spraying process, affect the uniform coverage of the coating. Currently, automated spraying of complex workpieces mainly relies on pre-programmed robotic arm paths. Operators first perform a 3D scan of the workpiece, and then generate a spraying trajectory program offline based on point cloud data. While this method achieves automation, it has significant drawbacks: First, the system lacks real-time adaptability. During the spraying process, even minor clamping deviations of the workpiece, thermal deformation of the mechanical system, or motion errors can cause the pre-programmed path to deviate from the actual requirements, resulting in inaccurate spraying distances and angles. This is especially problematic in sensitive areas such as edges, corners, and the inner walls of holes, where defects such as excessively thick or thin coatings, or missed areas, are easily observed. Second, process monitoring and quality control are disconnected. Existing technologies typically use a single vision or thickness sensor for post-processing inspection, failing to link coating quality data with the precise posture data of the workpiece in real time during the spraying process. This prevents true closed-loop control and online correction from being achieved.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent (publication number CN112138852A) discloses a machine vision-based spraying system for irregularly shaped components, which identifies the outline of the component and plans the path through a camera, but does not involve the accurate monitoring and dynamic compensation of the component's real-time posture, which is still insufficient for high-precision coating requirements; Chinese patent (publication number CN115301527A) discloses an adaptive spraying device and method for curved workpieces, which introduces a distance sensor to adjust the height of the spray gun, but its adjustment dimension is single and does not consider the different requirements of different irregular surfaces (such as edges and holes) for coating quality, and lacks an intelligent decision-making system that integrates posture, outline and quality information. Therefore, this invention studies and designs a molded placenta coating method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect that the existing mold plate coating method cannot meet the requirements of adaptive spraying of irregular surfaces, thereby providing a mold plate coating method.
[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a method for coating a molded placenta, comprising the following steps: S1: The positioning mechanism is used to fix the mold placer to be sprayed above the mounting plate, and the control device initializes the basic parameters of the attitude monitoring subunit, the spraying mechanism and the quality monitoring subunit. S2: The attitude monitoring subunit collects the initial attitude data of the molded placenta, the vision scanning module obtains the surface contour data of the irregular surface of the molded placenta, and the quality monitoring subunit presets the coating quality threshold based on the irregular surface type. S3: The control device fuses and corrects the attitude data to obtain the initial attitude angle of the mold placenta, and trains the learning model based on the historical spraying dataset to generate an adaptive attitude threshold that fits various irregular surfaces. S4: The control device sends a command to the adjustment mechanism, which drives the adjustment mechanism to perform multi-directional attitude adjustment of the mold plate, so that the initial relative attitude between the first irregular surface of the mold plate to be sprayed and the spraying mechanism meets the preset requirements. S5: The spraying mechanism starts spraying. At the same time, the attitude monitoring subunit and the quality monitoring subunit collect the actual attitude data of the mold and the coating quality data at a preset frequency, and feed them back to the control device. S6: The control device compares the actual attitude data with the adaptive attitude threshold and the actual coating quality data with the preset quality threshold. If any threshold is exceeded, attitude adjustment and / or quality correction are performed until the data returns to within the threshold and then spraying continues. S7: After completing the spraying of the current irregular surface, the control device automatically switches to the next irregular surface based on the surface contour data, repeating steps S4 to S6 until all irregular surfaces are sprayed.

[0015] The method for coating a molded placenta provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention accurately acquires surface contours through visual scanning and presets differentiated coating quality thresholds and adaptive attitude thresholds for different types of irregular surfaces. This allows the system to adjust its strategy according to the surface, effectively overcoming the inherent defect of uneven coating at abrupt changes in the traditional pre-programmed path, and significantly improving the coating consistency across the entire surface of complex workpieces. By compensating for gyroscope drift with acceleration and magnetic data and dynamically weighting and fusing them, ultra-high precision real-time attitude angles are obtained. Combined with a multi-directional adjustment mechanism, the relative attitude angle deviation between the spray gun and the workpiece surface can be stably controlled within the threshold, fundamentally ensuring the optimality and stability of the spraying distance and angle, laying a solid foundation for obtaining a uniform coating. 2. This invention also achieves a millisecond-level feedback closed loop from monitoring to decision-making to execution by simultaneously collecting posture and coating quality data during the spraying process and comparing two-dimensional thresholds; once an anomaly is detected, the workpiece posture and spraying parameters are adjusted in a coordinated manner to achieve online real-time correction, eliminating quality defects in their infancy and significantly reducing the defect rate and rework costs. 3. This invention also uses a learning model trained on historical data, which not only relies on preset parameters but can also self-optimize through experience to generate more realistic adaptive thresholds. At the same time, the intelligent spraying sequence based on the dual-dimensional planning of posture adjustment difficulty and quality requirements, as well as the state pre-inspection and pre-processing before surface switching, optimizes the overall process flow and improves spraying efficiency while ensuring the highest quality requirements.

[0018] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a method for coating a molded placenta, which includes the following steps: S1: The positioning mechanism is used to fix the mold placer to be sprayed above the mounting plate, and the control device initializes the basic parameters of the attitude monitoring subunit, the spraying mechanism and the quality monitoring subunit. S2: The attitude monitoring subunit collects the initial attitude data of the molded placenta, the vision scanning module obtains the surface contour data of the irregular surface of the molded placenta, and the quality monitoring subunit presets the coating quality threshold based on the irregular surface type. S3: The control device fuses and corrects the attitude data to obtain the initial attitude angle of the mold placenta, and trains the learning model based on the historical spraying dataset to generate an adaptive attitude threshold that fits various irregular surfaces. S4: The control device sends a command to the adjustment mechanism, which drives the adjustment mechanism to perform multi-directional attitude adjustment of the mold plate, so that the initial relative attitude between the first irregular surface of the mold plate to be sprayed and the spraying mechanism meets the preset requirements. S5: The spraying mechanism starts spraying. At the same time, the attitude monitoring subunit and the quality monitoring subunit collect the actual attitude data of the mold and the coating quality data at a preset frequency, and feed them back to the control device. S6: The control device compares the actual attitude data with the adaptive attitude threshold and the actual coating quality data with the preset quality threshold. If any threshold is exceeded, attitude adjustment and / or quality correction are performed until the data returns to within the threshold and then spraying continues. S7: After completing the spraying of the current irregular surface, the control device automatically switches to the next irregular surface based on the surface contour data, repeating steps S4 to S6 until all irregular surfaces are sprayed.
[0019] Specifically, the mold platen to be coated is fixed above the mounting plate by a positioning mechanism. The control device initializes the basic parameters of the attitude monitoring subunit, the coating mechanism, and the quality monitoring subunit. The attitude monitoring subunit collects the initial attitude data of the mold platen, which includes acceleration data, magnetic force data, and gyroscope data. The visual scanning module acquires the surface contour data of the irregular surfaces (continuous curved surfaces, holes, and angular surfaces) of the mold platen. At the same time, the quality monitoring subunit presets the coating quality thresholds for each irregular surface, including thickness thresholds and uniformity thresholds. The control device then processes the attitude data... According to the fusion correction, the deviation value is first calculated by using the gravity vector of acceleration data and the geomagnetic vector of magnetic data. This deviation value is used to compensate for the drift data of the gyroscope. Then, the compensated gyroscope data and the acceleration-magnetic joint data are weighted and fused. The weighted fusion dynamically allocates the weight ratio of the two types of data according to the gyroscope unit time error, sampling interval and step size to obtain the initial attitude angle of the mold placenta. Based on the historical spraying dataset, the learning model is trained to generate adaptive attitude thresholds for various irregular surfaces. Among them, the threshold accuracy of the angular surface is higher than that of the curved surface, and the hole threshold is associated with the depth parameter.
[0020] Specifically, the control device sends commands to the adjustment mechanism, driving the positioning mechanism to perform multi-directional adjustments of the mold platen in terms of azimuth, pitch, and roll angles. This ensures that the initial relative attitude between the first irregular surface of the mold platen to be sprayed and the spraying mechanism meets preset requirements, with a relative angle deviation ≤0.3°. Afterward, the spraying mechanism starts spraying, while the attitude monitoring subunit collects actual attitude data of the mold platen and relative attitude data of the spraying mechanism at a frequency of 10-50Hz. The quality monitoring subunit simultaneously collects coating thickness data and surface uniformity data, both of which are fed back to the control device. The control device then compares the actual attitude data with the adaptive... If any of the attitude threshold, actual coating quality data, and preset quality threshold is exceeded, attitude adjustment and quality correction are performed. In attitude adjustment, the mold platen attitude is finely adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, and the spraying mechanism simultaneously adjusts the spray gun pitch angle, spray angle, and distance from the irregular surface. In quality correction, if the coating thickness exceeds the tolerance, the spray gun moving speed is adjusted, and if the uniformity is not up to standard, the spray fan angle is optimized. Spraying continues until both types of data return to within the threshold. After the first irregular surface is sprayed, the control device switches to the next irregular surface based on the surface contour data, repeating S4-S6 until all irregular surfaces are sprayed.
[0021] In some embodiments, the attitude monitoring subunit in step S2 includes an accelerometer, a magnetometer, and a gyroscope; the visual scanning module is a 3D visual scanning module used to acquire the three-dimensional coordinates, radius of curvature, and aperture-depth ratio information of the irregular surface; the coating quality threshold in step S2 is set differently based on the irregular surface type, including a thickness threshold and a uniformity threshold, wherein continuous arc surfaces, holes, and angular surfaces correspond to different threshold ranges.
[0022] Specifically, the preset coating quality thresholds are differentiated as follows: the thickness threshold for continuous arc surfaces is 40-60μm, and the uniformity threshold is ≤5μm; the inner wall thickness threshold for holes is 35-50μm, and the uniformity threshold is ≤8μm; the edge thickness threshold for angular surfaces is 45-55μm, and the uniformity threshold is ≤3μm.
[0023] In some implementations, the data fusion correction in step S3 employs a weighted fusion algorithm to dynamically allocate the weights of gyroscope data and acceleration-magnetic joint data in order to improve the accuracy of attitude angle calculation. In step S3, the learning model is a machine learning model, which is trained by associating posture deviations with coating quality defects in historical spraying data, so that the adaptive posture threshold is linked with the coating quality threshold.
[0024] Specifically, the weighted fusion logic is as follows: the weight of gyroscope data decreases as the error per unit time increases. For example, when the error increases from 0.05° / h to 0.1° / h, the weight decreases from 60% to 40%. The weight of acceleration-magnetic joint data increases with the step size. When the step size increases from 0.1s to 0.5s, the weight increases from 40% to 60%. The final output accuracy of the real-time attitude angle calculation of the model placenta is ≤0.05°. The step learning model is a support vector machine (SVM) or random forest model. During the training process, coating quality feedback is introduced: the correlation data of attitude deviation and coating quality defects in historical spraying is input into the model, so that the adaptive attitude threshold and the coating quality threshold are linked. For example, when the coating thickness threshold of the edge surface is 45-55μm, the corresponding attitude threshold accuracy is improved to ±0.2°.
[0025] In some implementations, the multi-directional attitude adjustment in step S4 includes the adjustment of azimuth, pitch and roll angles, with the adjustment parameters based on the differential control of the irregular surface type, and the adjustment accuracy reaching within ±0.1°. Step S4 also includes generating the attitude baseline of the irregular surface, and controlling the angle between the baseline and the axis of the spray gun of the spraying mechanism through real-time feedback, so that the angle is ≤0.3°.
[0026] Specifically, the differentiated control of the adjustment parameters for multi-directional adjustment is as follows: Azimuth angle: adjustment range 0-360°, adjustment accuracy ±0.1°, the speed is 5° / s when adjusting the arc surface, and the speed is reduced to 3° / s when adjusting the angular surface; Pitch angle: adjustment range -15° to +15°, adjustment accuracy ±0.05°, the pitch angle needs to be calibrated to be parallel to the hole axis before hole spraying; Roll angle: adjustment range -10° to +10°, adjustment accuracy ±0.05°, adjustment is only started when the irregular surface switches between regions; Among them, "attitude pre-alignment" also includes: the control device generates the attitude reference line of the irregular surface based on the surface contour data, where the arc surface takes the tangent at the midpoint of the arc, the angular surface takes the perpendicular line of the edge, and the hole takes the axis. The attitude monitoring subunit provides real-time feedback on the angle between the reference line and the spray gun axis of the spraying mechanism until the angle is ≤0.3° and then the adjustment stops.
[0027] In some embodiments, the quality monitoring subunit in step S5 includes a thickness detection device and a surface uniformity detection device, and the detection point density is set based on the differential settings of the irregular surface type; The quality correction mentioned in step S6 includes adjusting the spray gun movement speed, spray flow rate, spray angle, atomization pressure, or touch-up spraying to optimize coating thickness and uniformity; Step S6 also includes an exception handling mechanism. If data deviations are detected multiple times in a row, process parameter diagnosis or fault investigation will be triggered. The spraying sequence of the irregular surface in step S7 is sorted based on the difficulty of posture adjustment and the coating quality requirements. The surface state of the next irregular surface is pre-collected before the surface is switched, and local preprocessing is performed if necessary.
[0028] Specifically, the quality monitoring unit includes a linear infrared thickness gauge and a high-speed industrial camera. The infrared thickness gauge has a differentiated detection point density setting, for example, per mm on corner surfaces. 2 Set one detection point, with each arc surface measuring 2mm. 2 Set up one detection point, with each hole's inner wall measured every 3mm. 2 One detection point is set up. The specific logic of quality correction is as follows: If the infrared thickness gauge detects that the coating thickness exceeds the threshold, such as the thickness of the curved surface > 60μm, the control device automatically increases the spray gun movement speed by 10%-20%; if the thickness is below the threshold, such as the thickness of the inner wall of a hole < 35μm, the spray flow rate is increased by 5%-15%; if the industrial camera identifies a missed coating area through grayscale value analysis, the spraying mechanism is driven to perform re-spraying, with the re-spraying range being 1.5 times the missed coating area, and the spraying pressure is reduced to avoid excessive coating overlap; the dynamic optimization of coating uniformity targets sharp edges and holes. If a sharp edge is detected... If the thickness difference between the edge and the adjacent plane is >3μm, adjust the spray angle of the secondary spray gun (spraying the adjacent plane) to increase the angle between the secondary spray gun and the edge, and delay the spraying time of the secondary spray gun; if the thickness difference between the top and bottom of the inner wall is >8μm, increase the depth of the spray gun insertion by 5-10mm, and reduce the atomization pressure by 0.05-0.1MPa; if the posture data meets the standard but the quality data exceeds the tolerance for 3 consecutive tests, the control device triggers process parameter diagnosis: if the coating thickness exceeds the tolerance, check the coating viscosity and adjust the viscosity through the spray gun heating / cooling module; if the uniformity is not up to standard, check the spray fan angle and fine-tune it.
[0029] Specifically, in handling severe anomalies, if the posture and quality data are detected to be out of tolerance for 5 consecutive times, the control device will suspend spraying and initiate troubleshooting: the sensor self-test function of the posture monitoring subunit will be used to determine whether the sensor is faulty; the positioning mechanism will be photographed by an industrial camera to determine whether the mold plate is loose. If it is loose, the positioning mechanism will be repositioned and re-clamped, and S2-S4 will be executed again. The spraying sequence of irregular surfaces is based on a two-dimensional sorting of posture adjustment difficulty and quality requirements. First, the continuous arc surfaces with low adjustment difficulty and medium quality requirements are sprayed, then the holes with medium adjustment difficulty and high quality requirements are sprayed, and finally the angular surfaces with high adjustment difficulty and the highest quality requirements are sprayed. When switching between adjacent irregular surfaces, the quality monitoring subunit will pre-collect the initial surface state of the next irregular surface 1 second in advance (such as whether there is oil or oxide layer). If defects are found, local pre-processing will be initiated first.
[0030] This invention accurately acquires surface contours through visual scanning and presets differentiated coating quality thresholds and adaptive attitude thresholds for different types of irregular surfaces (arc surfaces, holes, and angular surfaces). This allows the system to adjust its strategy according to the surface, effectively overcoming the inherent defect of uneven coating at abrupt changes in the traditional pre-programmed path, and significantly improving the coating consistency across the entire surface of complex workpieces. By compensating for gyroscope drift with acceleration and magnetic data and dynamically weighting and fusing them, ultra-high precision real-time attitude angles are obtained. Combined with a multi-directional adjustment mechanism, the relative attitude angle deviation between the spray gun and the workpiece surface can be stably controlled within the threshold, fundamentally ensuring the optimality and stability of the spraying distance and angle, laying a solid foundation for obtaining a uniform coating.
[0031] This invention achieves a millisecond-level feedback loop from monitoring to decision-making to execution by simultaneously collecting posture and coating quality data during the spraying process and comparing two-dimensional thresholds. Once an anomaly is detected, the workpiece posture and spraying parameters are adjusted collaboratively, enabling online real-time correction and eliminating quality defects in their infancy, thus significantly reducing the defect rate and rework costs.
[0032] This invention utilizes a learning model trained on historical data, enabling it to not only rely on preset parameters but also self-optimize through experience, generating more realistic adaptive thresholds. Simultaneously, the intelligent spraying sequence, based on a dual-dimensional planning of posture adjustment difficulty and quality requirements, along with state pre-inspection and pre-processing before surface switching, optimizes the overall process flow, improving spraying efficiency while ensuring the highest quality requirements.
