Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing technology, and in particular to a digital twin method and system based on the grinding process of hot pot base. Background Technology
[0002] In the preparation process of hot pot base, the grinding process is a crucial step that determines the smoothness of the base's texture, the state of oil emulsification, and the efficiency of flavor substance release. This process involves an extremely complex multi-physics coupling mechanism of heat, fluid, and solid. Solid spices (such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns) undergo brittle fracture and fatigue breakage under high-speed shearing, while the carrier oil undergoes dynamic evolution of non-Newtonian fluid rheological properties under frictional heating. Currently, theoretical research on the grinding process mainly relies on single-physics simulations using the discrete element method or computational fluid dynamics.
[0003] Existing digital twin simulation technology for grinding processes has limitations in practical industrial applications. Current digital twin models lack real-time fidelity and adaptability. They are often limited to the acquisition of macroscopic scalar quantities such as temperature and current, lacking the ability to perceive the microscopic particle size distribution and morphological characteristics of the output material online. As a result, the control system cannot obtain feedback signals that directly characterize the grinding quality. Summary of the Invention

The geometric boundary constraints of the multiphysics simulation are obtained based on the geometric model.
[0014] Under the geometric boundary constraints, a particle contact and crushing mechanism model based on the discrete element method (DEM) and a flow field and thermal field mechanism model based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are constructed and integrated.

[0027] The feature vector is time-aligned with the predicted quality feature vector output by the digital twin multiphysics mechanism model at the same time, and the Euclidean distance difference is calculated to obtain the virtual-real residual. Based on the virtual-real residual, the physical boundary parameters and interaction parameters in the mechanism model of the digital twin are corrected online, so that the granular evolution, fragmentation degree and morphological uniformity of the simulation prediction gradually converge to the visual image observation results.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the digital twin method based on the grinding process of hot pot base material according to the present invention, the step of real-time correction of the physical boundary parameters in the digital twin model according to the comparison deviation includes using a Bayesian optimization algorithm to search for physical variables that cause prediction deviation in the parameter space.
[0029] The grinding disc friction coefficient and material breakage rate coefficient in the mechanism model are used as optimization objectives, and the virtual and real residuals are minimized as the objective function for iterative optimization. The physical variables obtained by iterative optimization are hot-updated to the mechanism model of the digital twin through dynamic linking technology for parameter calibration.

The parameters corresponding to the predicted quality feature vector are converted into control variables and executed. After execution, the next sampling cycle begins, making the predicted quality feature vector approximate the true feature vector.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 As one embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment provides a digital twin method based on the grinding process of hot pot base, including the following steps:
[0045] S1: Real-time acquisition of operating parameters and bottom material images of the grinding process, construction of geometric model of grinding equipment, and integration of multi-physics mechanism model based on discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics coupling.
[0046] Furthermore, the real-time acquisition of operating parameters and bottom material images of the grinding process includes installing temperature and pressure sensors on the outer wall of the grinding chamber and at the inlet and outlet; installing current and torque sensors on the main shaft drive motor to calculate the grinding resistance; and installing a triaxial vibration sensor on the equipment base to monitor the contact state of the grinding disc.
[0047] An industrial high-frequency camera with self-cleaning function is installed at the discharge port to acquire macroscopic images of the bottom material at the discharge port.
[0048] The integrated multiphysics mechanism model based on the coupling of discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics includes establishing a geometric model corresponding to the physical grinding equipment in virtual space. The geometric model includes the grinding chamber, rotor grinding disc, discharge port and material flow channel structure. The geometric boundary constraints of the multiphysics simulation are obtained based on the geometric model.
[0049] Under the geometric boundary constraints, a particle contact and crushing mechanism model based on the discrete element method (DEM) and a flow field and thermal field mechanism model based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are constructed and integrated. The particle contact and crushing mechanism model is coupled with the flow field and thermal field mechanism model to obtain a multi-physics mechanism model characterizing the temperature field distribution, shear force distribution and material crushing evolution process inside the grinding chamber.
[0050] Physics field initialization and boundary condition definition:

[0052] The non-Newtonian properties of grease fluids are defined based on the Navier-Stokes equations, where dynamic viscosity η and shear rate are related. The relationship follows a power-law model:
[0053]
[0054] in, is the consistency coefficient, and n is the flow index.
[0055] A visual feature extraction network was constructed, using ResNet-50 as the backbone network and integrating a fully connected regression layer at the end to output the average particle size D of the substrate.
[0056] Loss function design: The network is trained using mean squared error (MSE) to enable it to invert the three-dimensional particle distribution features from the two-dimensional image texture.
[0057] Heterogeneous models are coupled and integrated, and a feature correlation matrix is established to logically bind the shear stress S in the physical field with the texture roughness R in the visual model, thus establishing the mapping relationship between the models.
[0058] S2: Input the operating parameters into the multiphysics mechanism model, perform digital twin model simulation of the inside of the grinding equipment, and output the simulation prediction value.
[0059] The digital twin model simulation of the internal structure of the grinding equipment includes using the collected operating parameters of the grinding equipment as real-time driving parameters for the digital twin model to synchronize and align the physical grinding process with the virtual simulation process.
[0060] The operating parameters include grinding speed, current load, feed flow rate, grinding chamber pressure, grinding chamber temperature, equipment vibration, and acoustic characteristics.
[0061] The multi-source operating parameters are time-stamp aligned and noise-reducing filtered, and an operating parameter sequence is formed based on the geometric model of the equipment and the mapping relationship between operating conditions.
[0062] At sampling time The system acquires the sequence of operating parameters of physical entities in real time via an industrial bus.
[0063]
[0064] in This indicates the real-time rotational speed of the grinding disc, which determines the rotational angular velocity of the boundary walls in the discrete element model (DEM). This indicates the pressure inside the grinding chamber, used to set the pressure outlet boundary for fluid computational CFD. This represents the motor current load, which is converted to obtain the torque, and then the shear work applied to the particles is calculated. This represents the material feed temperature, which serves as the initial temperature field background value for the thermodynamic equations. The feed rate determines the particle injection rate within the virtual space.
[0065] The operating parameters are converted into boundary and initial conditions for a multiphysics mechanism model, including:
[0066] The grinding speed is mapped to the rotor's rotational boundary, the feed flow rate and initial particle size distribution are mapped to DEM particle injection conditions, the current load is mapped to contact friction power and shear energy terms, and the cooling medium flow rate and cavity temperature are mapped to the convective heat transfer boundary on the CFD side.
[0067] The sequence of operating parameters is used as the real-time driving force for the digital twin model, and a collaborative solution is performed in each sampling period.
[0068] S3: The deep learning-based visual recognition model extracts quality feature values from the base material image and compares them with the simulation prediction values output by the digital twin model.
[0069] The deep learning-based visual recognition model extracts quality feature values from the base material image by performing a collaborative solution of the material-flow field-temperature field in the grinding chamber based on a multi-physics mechanism model that couples discrete element method (DEM) and fluid dynamics (CFD).
[0070] Based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta multi-field collaborative solution, the system will As the driving boundary, the mechanism engine is invoked to solve for the energy and momentum balance:
[0071]
[0072] in, This represents the viscous dissipation term. It indicates the rate at which the mechanical energy of the base oil is converted into internal energy under high-speed shearing. The material flow velocity vector is represented by the CFD module based on pressure P and rotational speed. The calculation yielded the result. It represents the change in the temperature field. This indicates the real-time temperature at any point inside the grinding chamber. Indicates specific heat capacity. Indicates a unit of time. Density is the ratio of the mass to the volume of a material. It represents the heat absorption capacity of a unit volume of substance and is used for calculating heat changes.
[0073] The fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm is used to iterate the above differential equations over time steps to ensure the numerical stability of temperature evolution during the online non-grinding process.
[0074] Specifically, DEM was used to calculate the force, collision, friction, agglomeration and breakage behavior of the substrate particles in the grinding chamber, and the particle velocity field, contact network and local shear rate were obtained; CFD was used to calculate the flow and heat exchange process of the carrier medium and volatile components in the chamber, and the velocity field, pressure field and temperature field distribution were obtained.
[0075] Based on the contact friction power and shear energy terms output by DEM, they are coupled into the CFD heat conduction equation to form a dynamic update of the temperature field. According to the spatiotemporal evolution results of the temperature field distribution and shear force distribution, combined with the material crushing criteria, the particle size distribution and crushing evolution state are updated. The grinding process evolution trajectory consistent with the physical entity is reconstructed in the digital twin model to achieve synchronous mapping between virtual and real.
[0076] The material crushing criterion is dynamically updated based on the force evolution criterion, the temperature influence criterion, and the spatiotemporal evolution. The force evolution criterion includes: The stress distribution of a material is calculated based on the theory of mechanics of materials. It is assumed that the stress field of the material is caused by both external forces (such as shear force and pressure) and internal reaction forces. The stress state is described as follows:
[0077] in, It is the stress tensor. It is the strain tensor. It is the stiffness tensor of the material.
[0078] Calculate the critical stress for material fracture. For each small unit or particle, calculate its critical fracture stress. Typically, theories based on fracture mechanics are used:
[0079] in, It refers to the fracture toughness of the material. It is the crack area of the material.
[0080] To determine whether a crack has occurred, the stress in a certain area... Exceeding the critical stress When the region begins to fracture, the model records the fracture event in that region and updates the stress field of the material.
[0081] Temperature influence criteria: based on the current temperature field of the material. and specific heat capacity The effect of temperature change on material crushing behavior is calculated. The temperature change is calculated using the heat conduction equation:
[0082] in, This is a source term, representing internal heat sources (such as friction, viscous dissipation, etc.). Temperature changes affect the brittleness and ductility of materials; generally, materials become more prone to fracture as temperature increases.
[0083] Calculate the effect of temperature on the stress state of materials. High temperatures may lead to a decrease in the elastic modulus of materials. Changes have occurred:
[0084] in, It is the temperature coefficient. It is the elastic modulus of the material at a reference temperature. Due to the influence of temperature on stress, changes in the temperature field will also dynamically adjust the fracture criteria of the material.
[0085] Spatiotemporal evolution dynamic update: based on the material's time... and space The system updates the stress, temperature, and displacement of each particle or unit based on its position. A fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm (RK4) is used for time-step iterations to ensure numerical stability of the material crushing process. In each time step, the temperature and stress fields of each unit are updated and corrected according to the dynamic changes in the material.
[0086] The mechanical behavior between particles is calculated using a Direct Emitter Reduction (DEM). In the DEM model, contact forces, collisions, friction, agglomeration, and breakup between particles are calculated through particle interactions. Each collision and friction between particles affects the local temperature and stress distribution of the material. The particle velocity field, contact network, and local shear rate are calculated as inputs for subsequent temperature and stress field updates. Fluid flow and heat exchange processes are calculated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The flow, pressure field, and temperature field changes of fluids (such as gas or liquid media) within the grinding chamber are calculated using a CFD model. During material breakup, fluid flow affects the temperature field distribution of the material, while material breakup also affects the fluid flow state and heat exchange process.
[0087] A comprehensive evaluation of the fracture and temperature changes of each particle or material unit is conducted. For each particle, dynamic updates are performed based on its stress, temperature, and historical state to determine whether fracture conditions have been met. Considering the nonlinear characteristics of the crushing process, a dynamically updated thermodynamic and mechanical model is used to ensure accurate simulation of material crushing. Finally, a determination is made as to whether crushing has occurred. During each update, the state of all particles or units is checked, and when the fracture criteria are met, fracture processing is performed, and the corresponding model parameters are updated.
[0088] Select a time window corresponding to the discharge port, and perform weighted fusion of the prediction results of the joint solution of DEM and CFD within the current time window to form a set of predicted quality feature values that characterize the grinding quality trend of hot pot base.
[0089] S4: Correct the physical boundary parameters in the digital twin model in real time based on the comparison deviation, predict the process trend based on the corrected digital twin model, and generate the optimal control command.
[0090] The comparison with the simulation prediction value output by the digital twin model includes, during the continuous sampling process of the macroscopic morphology image at the discharge port, using a deep learning visual recognition model to map the macroscopic morphology image into a real feature vector representing the real-time quality state of the bottom material.
[0091] The feature vector is time-aligned with the predicted quality feature vector output by the digital twin multiphysics mechanism model at the same time, and the Euclidean distance difference is calculated to obtain the virtual-real residual. Based on the virtual-real residual, the physical boundary parameters and interaction parameters in the mechanism model of the digital twin are corrected online, so that the granular evolution, fragmentation degree and morphological uniformity of the simulation prediction gradually converge to the visual image observation results.
[0092] The quantification calculation of the virtual and real residuals and the trigger determination system run in parallel with the deep learning visual recognition module. The system analyzes the images captured by the high-frequency industrial camera installed at the discharge port and inverts the measured average particle size of the bottom material to obtain the result. Timing alignment is necessary because there is a lag time between the material's arrival at the discharge port from the inside of the grinding chamber. The system will display the current time. True feature vector and Predictive quality eigenvector at time step Alignment is performed. Normalized residuals are calculated; to eliminate the influence of dimensions, normalized Euclidean distance is used to calculate the deviation index.
[0093]
[0094] Perform dead zone threshold determination and set a deviation tolerance threshold. (For example, 5%). Only when Error > Only when the deviation is within a certain threshold will the system determine that the model is inaccurate (possibly due to increased gap caused by grinding disc wear, or batch-to-batch fluctuations in the hardness of the raw materials). This triggers the subsequent parameter calibration process. If the deviation is within the threshold, the current parameters are maintained to save computational resources. This represents the predicted quality feature vector value.
[0095] The real-time correction of physical boundary parameters in the digital twin model based on the comparison deviation includes using a Bayesian optimization algorithm to search for physical variables that cause prediction deviations within the parameter space.
[0096] The grinding disc friction coefficient and material breakage rate coefficient in the mechanistic model are used as optimization objectives, and the virtual-real residual is minimized as the objective function for iterative optimization. The physical variables obtained by iterative optimization are then dynamically updated to the digital twin mechanistic model for parameter calibration.
[0097] Backward parameter optimization based on Bayesian optimization: After determining the space of dominant variables requiring adjustment, the system uses a Bayesian optimization algorithm to find the optimal parameter combination that minimizes the residuals. Compared to genetic algorithms or particle swarm optimization, Bayesian optimization uses a Gaussian process as a surrogate model, finding the global optimum with very few iterations, making it very suitable for computationally expensive digital twin scenarios. The surrogate model is constructed using historical computational data to establish the parameters. With residual The model employs a Gaussian process regression model. Guided by a sampling function, it utilizes an expectation improvement strategy to calculate the next sampling point. This strategy not only focuses on the region with the smallest current prediction residual (development) but also on regions with larger variance, i.e., higher uncertainty (exploration), thereby avoiding getting trapped in local optima. This indicates the deviation in the grinding disc clearance. The physical grinding disc may shrink due to thermal expansion or expand due to wear. This parameter corrects the boundary of the geometric model and directly affects the grinding fineness. This indicates the breakage probability coefficient, reflecting the brittleness of the raw material (such as chili peppers). This coefficient varies from batch to batch and needs to be dynamically adjusted to match the actual breakage rate.
[0098] The calibrated parameters drive the digital twin model to predict future short-term process trends, obtaining the predicted quality feature vector within the future window. The parameters corresponding to the predicted quality feature vector are converted into control variables and executed. After execution, the next sampling cycle begins, making the predicted quality feature vector approximate the true feature vector.

The operating parameters include grinding speed, current load, feed flow rate, grinding chamber pressure, grinding chamber temperature, equipment vibration, and acoustic characteristics. The multi-source operating parameters are time-stamp aligned and noise-reducing filtered, and an operating parameter sequence is formed based on the geometric model of the equipment and the mapping relationship between operating conditions. The operating parameters are converted into boundary and initial conditions for a multiphysics mechanism model, including: The grinding speed is mapped to the rotor's rotational boundary, the feed flow rate and the initial particle size distribution of the material are mapped to the DEM particle injection conditions, the current load is mapped to the contact friction power and shear energy terms, and the cooling medium flow rate and the cavity temperature are mapped to the convective heat transfer boundary on the CFD side.

Specifically, DEM was used to calculate the force, collision, friction, agglomeration and breakage behavior of the substrate particles in the grinding chamber, and the particle velocity field, contact network and local shear rate were obtained; CFD was used to calculate the flow and heat exchange process of the carrier medium and volatile components in the chamber, and the flow velocity field, pressure field and temperature field distribution were obtained. Based on the contact friction power and shear energy terms output by DEM, they are coupled into the CFD heat conduction equation to form a dynamic update of the temperature field. According to the spatiotemporal evolution results of the temperature field distribution and shear force distribution, combined with the material crushing criteria, the particle size distribution and crushing evolution state are updated. The grinding process evolution trajectory consistent with the physical entity is reconstructed in the digital twin model to achieve synchronous mapping between virtual and real. The material crushing criteria are dynamically updated by the force evolution criterion, the temperature influence criterion, and the spatiotemporal evolution criterion. Select a time window corresponding to the discharge port, and perform weighted fusion of the prediction results of the joint solution of DEM and CFD within the current time window to form a set of predicted quality feature values that characterize the grinding quality trend of hot pot base.

The feature vector is time-aligned with the predicted quality feature vector output by the digital twin multiphysics mechanism model at the same time, and the Euclidean distance difference is calculated to obtain the virtual-real residual. Based on the virtual-real residual, the physical boundary parameters and interaction parameters in the mechanism model of the digital twin are corrected online, so that the granular evolution, fragmentation degree and morphological uniformity of the simulation prediction gradually converge to the visual image observation results.

The physical variables obtained by iterative optimization are hot-updated to the mechanism model of the digital twin through dynamic linking technology for parameter calibration. The calibrated parameters drive the digital twin model to predict future short-term process trends, obtaining the predicted quality feature vector within the future window. The parameters corresponding to the predicted quality feature vector are converted into control variables and executed. After execution, the next sampling cycle begins, making the predicted quality feature vector approximate the true feature vector.
