Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wheel hub coating production scheduling technology, specifically to a method, system, and equipment for predicting wheel hub coating off-line time. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing personalization of the automotive industry, the variety of wheel products has surged, encompassing multiple sizes and irregular shapes. The wheel painting process has shifted from "mass production of single specifications" to "mixed-line painting of multiple specifications and irregular shapes of wheels." The accuracy of predicting the coating off-line time directly impacts production line scheduling, subsequent curing processes, and delivery cycles; however, existing technologies have significant limitations.

[0003] 1. Irregular structure leads to large prediction deviation and lag in element preparation: Irregular wheel hubs need to be subdivided into multiple painting areas. Due to differences in masking and spraying angle, the time taken for each area is different. The existing DMS system uses "average time" to estimate and cannot provide feedback on the progress of each area, resulting in lag in the preparation of special fixtures and color powder, which leads to delays in process connection or rework.

[0004] II. Process fluctuations are not included in the forecast, and real-time deviations are difficult to correct: Fluctuations in parameters such as electrostatic voltage and fluidizing gas pressure directly affect coating time. Existing forecasts are based only on static parameters and do not incorporate real-time fluctuation data. The actual deviation from the forecast often exceeds 15%, affecting the accuracy of scheduling.

[0005] 3. Difficulty in accurately predicting the time required for mixing production lines and causing gaps in scheduling: When mixing multiple specifications, it is necessary to adjust the spray gun trajectory and change the powder. The time required for changing production lines varies greatly. Existing technology relies on manual experience for estimation and has not established a scientific model, which can easily lead to equipment idleness or coating interruption.

[0006] IV. Lack of partitioning and parameter association logic makes it difficult to trace abnormal time consumption: The time consumption of each area of ​​the irregular wheel hub is strongly correlated with the exclusive process parameters. The existing system only records the total time consumption deviation and cannot associate abnormal regional parameters, making it difficult to locate the cause of delay and optimize the prediction model.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to predict the off-line time of a multi-specification, non-standard wheel hub painting production line, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical pain points. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method, system, and equipment for predicting wheel hub painting off-line time. The core of this invention lies in achieving high-precision prediction of off-line time through visual partitioning dynamic correction, coating type adaptive disturbance compensation, and multi-modal fusion iteration collaborative design. This allows for adaptation to various specifications of irregularly shaped wheels and different coating types, thereby improving production line collaboration efficiency and real-time response capabilities.

[0009] The core of the technical solution of this invention lies in constructing a full-link prediction system of "visual perception-regional correction-adaptive compensation-multimodal iteration". The generalized solution includes the following steps:

[0010] S1. Visual Recognition and Segmentation: Acquire wheel hub images, identify their structural features through machine vision, and divide the painted area into multiple sub-regions;

[0011] S2. Regional Dynamic Time Prediction: Based on the structural characteristics of each sub-region and combined with the spraying process parameters, the coating time of each sub-region is predicted, and dynamic correction is performed based on real-time structural characteristics.

[0012] S3. Adaptive Disturbance Compensation: Real-time acquisition of coating process disturbance parameters, and calculation of disturbance compensation time based on the current wheel hub coating type by calling the corresponding disturbance compensation model;

[0013] S4. Multimodal fusion iterative prediction: The painting time of each sub-region after dynamic correction and the disturbance compensation time are fused together, and combined with historical production data, iterative calculation and correction are performed at fixed intervals to output the final offline time prediction value.

[0014] Preferably, the present invention can further improve prediction accuracy and practicality through the following refinement schemes:

[0015] I. Detailed Implementation of Visual Recognition and Regionalization: An industrial camera with a resolution of 1920×1080 and a frame rate of 25fps is used to acquire RGB color images of the wheel hub. Combined with order information from the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) (including the number of spokes, wheel hub specifications, etc.), the images are preprocessed using weighted average grayscale conversion, 5×5 convolution kernel Gaussian filtering, and Canny operator edge detection. Then, Hough transform is used to detect the number of spokes (removing interference lines <50mm), and the U-Net semantic segmentation model is used to label the spoke regions and calculate the occlusion area. Simultaneously, key dimensions of the rim and flange are detected. If the discrepancy between the identified spoke count and the MES order is greater than 2, a second acquisition of 3 images is triggered, and the majority result is taken to ensure that the structural parameter accuracy is ≥99%. Finally, the structural feature parameters of each region (accurate to 0.1mm / integer) and the boundary coordinates of each region are output. The grayscale conversion formula is as follows: The standard deviation of the Gaussian filter is 1.2, the Canny operator threshold is low = 50 and high = 150, and the camera calibration conversion factor is 1 pixel = 0.1 mm.

[0016] II. Detailed Implementation of Regional Dynamic Time Prediction: Based on the regional structure parameters output in step S1 (number of spokes N, occlusion area) outer diameter of wheel rim (etc.), combined with spraying process parameters (target coating thickness) Spray gun movement speed etc.), spray gun configuration parameters (number of spray guns M, effective spray width, etc.). The actual spraying area of ​​the spoke area, rim area, and flange surface is calculated using specific formulas. The basic spraying time is then derived using the formula for the total mass of the paint. Based on the structural parameters and historical deviation data of the same specification wheel hubs over the past three months, dynamic correction factors (K1, K2, K3) are calculated for each area. The basic spraying time is corrected using these correction factors to obtain the final spraying time and total time for each area. The K1 and K2 coefficients are refitted monthly to ensure a correction accuracy of ≥98%.

[0017] III. Refined Implementation of Adaptive Disturbance Compensation: Real-time acquisition of raw data for electrostatic spraying voltage (50-90kV), powder fluidizing gas pressure (0.1-0.3MPa), and liquid coating viscosity (20-50mPa·s, specific to liquid coating) at a frequency of 10Hz. A moving average filter with 10 data point windows and outlier removal within ±30% of the baseline value are used to calculate the fluctuation value. , , The maximum fluctuation within 10 seconds is used to determine the disturbance level from 1 to 3 based on the fluctuation amplitude; according to the coating type configured in the MES order (1=powder, 2=liquid), a differentiated compensation logic is adopted, with the core formula being: ( For coating type weighting, powder ,liquid Powder coating focuses on voltage and pressure disturbances, while liquid coating additionally incorporates viscosity disturbances. The time for multi-dimensional disturbance compensation and the total disturbance compensation time are calculated using dedicated compensation coefficients.

[0018] IV. Detailed Implementation of Multimodal Fusion Iterative Prediction: Scores for four modalities—computer vision structure, process parameters, real-time perturbation, and historical feedback—are used, based on modal scores and priority coefficients (default). , , , When the sensor fails ) through formula Dynamically allocate weights and fuse the relevant time-consuming components of each mode to obtain a cross-modal fusion prediction value; update the cumulative disturbance compensation time in 10-second cycles, and combine the initial prediction value, total clock cycle correction, historical calibration correction, and prediction deviation from the previous cycle through an iterative formula. Correct the predicted off-line time and calculate the remaining painting time. A Level 3 disturbance warning is triggered. The formula for calculating the score for each modality is as follows:

[0019] Visual structural modality score ,constraint ;

[0020] Modal score of process parameters ,constraint ;

[0021] Real-time perturbation mode score Level 1 = 0.9, Level 2 = 0.8, Level 3 = 0.7;

[0022] Historical feedback modal score ,constraint ;

[0023] The cross-modal fusion prediction formula is: ,in , This represents the total time consumed by each region. , .

[0024] V. Detailed Implementation of Additional Optimization Modules:

[0025] 1. Changeover time prediction: based on the difference between the previous and current wheel hub diameters. Difference in coating thickness (From MES + visual recognition), paint type, number of spray guns The historical model change datasets of different specifications were used to calculate the cleaning time and parameter adjustment time respectively, and then the results were combined with historical correction coefficients. The total replacement time is obtained, and a replacement warning signal is output (0=normal, 1=pay attention, 2=abnormal).

[0026] 2. Production line cycle time linkage correction: Queue quantity is collected via sensors and MES (Manufacturing Execution System). Number of people queuing for curing ovens Idle time of subsequent assembly processes and production line benchmark cycle time The pretreatment correction amount, curing oven correction amount, and subsequent idle correction amount are calculated separately according to specific rules, and then summed to obtain the total cycle time correction amount. Simultaneously, it outputs the cycle stability coefficient. Among them, : The time is -12s, 3 < The time is 0s. At that time ; ; : The time is -18s, 2≤ The time is -6s. The time is 0s;

[0027] 3. Specification-Specific Historical Data Adaptation: Match the current wheel hub specification with historical samples, use a linear regression model to train and obtain historical correction coefficients, calculate the matching degree between the current working condition and historical samples (constraint ≥70%), and output specification-specific correction coefficients. (0.9-1.1), matching degree and historical calibration correction amount The matching degree is calculated using the following formula: Historical calibration correction amount .

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0029] I. Significantly Improved Prediction Accuracy: By integrating multi-module and multi-modal data, through regional calculation, dynamic correction, multi-dimensional compensation and real-time iteration, the prediction error is <1% and the accuracy is ≥98.5%, which is 3-5 percentage points higher than that of a single module, effectively solving the prediction deviation problem in mixed-line production.

[0030] II. Significantly enhanced adaptability: Through regional calculation, historical adaptation by specification, and optimization of dynamic correction factors, it adapts to 10-24 inch different sizes and irregularly shaped wheel hubs such as multi-spoke / hollowed-out designs, while also being compatible with both powder and liquid coating types, reducing changeover errors.

[0031] III. Production Collaboration Optimization: Link the queuing status of upstream and downstream processes on the production line, output production scheduling suggestions, reduce process disconnection, and improve production line collaboration efficiency;

[0032] IV. Outstanding real-time response capability: Iterative correction is performed in 10-second cycles to accurately capture process disturbances, dynamically correct predicted values, adapt to real-time production changes, and improve the accuracy of prediction by more than 30% compared with static compensation.
