More particularly, it relates to a hydraulic bending device and its control method for bending straight pipes into curved pipes, which is especially suitable for processing small bending radius conduits in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and other fields where high bending quality is required. Background Technology

[0002] Push bending is a common pipe bending process that uses molds and push devices to press straight pipes into bending cavities to cause plastic deformation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the push-bending process has several common problems: First, uneven friction during the push-bending process leads to thinning of the wall thickness or even cracking; second, it lacks real-time adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to cope with fluctuations in material properties or changes in process parameters; third, the control logic is mostly simple hardware-level feedback, lacking software-based intelligent control and self-learning capabilities, making it impossible to achieve continuous optimization and digital management of the process, and thus failing to meet the requirements in high-precision fields such as aerospace.

Existing bending machines suffer from insufficient bending capacity and cannot meet the requirements for large-scale pipe bending and forming, which has become a technical bottleneck in the processing of high-end conduits. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of bending device and method that can monitor and intelligently adjust the bending process in real time and effectively reduce the probability of conduit damage.

[0029] Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 This invention mainly embodies the principle block diagram of an intelligent system; Figure 2 The flowchart illustrates the bending method of this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hydraulic conduit bending method based on force-position curve intelligent control according to the present invention includes the following steps: A straight pipe filled with rubber blocks is placed into the vertical section of a bending die. The push rod of the main push cylinder is connected or abutted to one end of the straight pipe, and the movable ball joint of the rear push cylinder is connected or abutted to the other end of the straight pipe. The main push cylinder pushes the straight pipe into the bending section of the bending die, and the rear push cylinder retracts during the bending process and provides a reverse thrust. During the bending process, the position of the main push cylinder and the pressure of the rear push cylinder are monitored in real time. Based on the preset optimal force-position curve, the ideal pressure setpoint of the rear push cylinder at the current displacement is calculated in real time. Based on the deviation between the actual pressure of the rear push cylinder and the setpoint, a control signal for the retraction speed of the rear push cylinder is output. When the actual pressure of the rear push cylinder is greater than the setpoint, the retraction speed of the rear push cylinder is increased; when the actual pressure of the rear push cylinder is less than the setpoint, the retraction speed of the rear push cylinder is decreased.

[0032] This embodiment establishes the optimal force-position curves for different types of guide tubes and adjusts the speed of the rear push cylinder in real time based on the position of the main push cylinder and the force feedback of the rear push cylinder. This intelligent control of the real-time bending process significantly reduces the probability of guide tube damage and improves the quality and precision of bending.

[0033] Specifically, the preset optimal force-position curve can be expressed as the displacement of the main thrust cylinder. and ideal rear cylinder pressure The mapping relationship is expressed as:

[0034] in, The effective displacement range of the main thrust cylinder. This is the initial displacement for pushing the bend. This represents the displacement at the end of the bend; this curve is obtained by fitting process test data and is usually represented by a polynomial model.

[0035] In the formula, , ... The coefficients are polynomials, obtained by fitting and optimizing the experimental data using the least squares method. Different models of catheters correspond to different sets of coefficients.

[0036] Raw sensor data is acquired via an industrial bus, and Kalman filtering, outlier removal, and time synchronization are performed to eliminate noise and timing deviations, outputting a reliable force-position data set. To eliminate sensor noise interference, the acquired main cylinder displacement... and rear cylinder thrust Using Kalman filtering, the state equation and observation equation are as follows:

[0037] Wherein, the state vector express Displacement and thrust state at any given moment; Here is the displacement matrix. To control the input matrix, for The amount of control at any given moment; For the observation vector, For the observation matrix, , These are process noise and observation noise, respectively. The optimal estimate obtained after filtering iteration This serves as input data for subsequent control.

[0038] More specifically, based on the preset optimal force-position curve, a fuzzy adaptive algorithm is used to calculate the ideal pressure setpoint of the rear cylinder at the current displacement in real time, and define the control deviation rate. and rate of change of deviation :

[0039] in, The actual pressure of the rear top cylinder after filtering. The ideal pressure setting value for the rear cylinder corresponding to the current displacement; The input to the fuzzy controller is the adjustment amount of the backward retraction speed of the rear cylinder. The following can be obtained through fuzzy rule reasoning:

[0040] The actual reverse speed of the rear cylinder has been updated as follows: .

[0041] The control logic is: when When the actual thrust is greater than 0 (i.e., the actual thrust is greater than the ideal value), then >0, meaning increase backward speed; when When <0 (i.e., the actual thrust is less than the ideal value), then <0, meaning a reduction in backward speed. This allows the actual thrust to track the ideal curve.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes self-learning and iterative optimization: based on a historical database containing force-position time-series data and molding quality detection results, a machine learning algorithm is used to iteratively update the optimal force-position curve with the goal of achieving the best molding quality. The slope and intercept of the force-position curve are continuously adjusted to make the subsequent process more consistent with the characteristics of the pipe. An optimization objective function is constructed with the goal of achieving the best molding quality of the conduit.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, parameters such as force, displacement, and hydraulic pressure are detected in real time. Threshold judgments are used to identify abnormal operating conditions such as sensor malfunction, excessive thrust, and pipe deformation, triggering an alarm or automatic shutdown, and generating a fault log. The system also includes process monitoring and fault diagnosis: abnormal operating conditions are determined using a deviation threshold method. When the relative deviation between the actual rear cylinder pressure and the ideal rear cylinder pressure exceeds a set threshold, an alarm is triggered.

[0044] in, The system uses a preset relative deviation threshold; it also detects displacement deviation and hydraulic pressure deviation. When any parameter exceeds the threshold range, the system triggers a shutdown protection or warning and records the fault data.

[0045] According to the present invention, a hydraulic conduit bending system based on force-position curve intelligent control is provided, the system comprising: Frame and Mold Closing Mechanism: A bending die mounted on the frame, with an internal cavity. Internal Support: Composed of multiple rubber blocks filled into the cavity of the straight tube to be bent. Main Push Actuation Mechanism: Includes a main push cylinder and a push rod driven by the main push cylinder, used to push the straight tube along the mold cavity for forming. Rear Push Actuation Mechanism: Includes a rear push cylinder, the piston rod end of which has a movable push head that abuts against the tail end of the straight tube, used to provide a reverse push force. Signal Detection Unit: Includes a position sensor for detecting the displacement of the main push cylinder, a force feedback sensor for detecting the push force of the rear push cylinder, and an intelligent controller electrically connected to the position sensor and the force feedback sensor. The intelligent controller has pre-stored the optimal force-position curve corresponding to the type of pipe being processed. The controller is configured to: during the bending process, based on the real-time displacement obtained by the position sensor, query the optimal force-position curve to obtain the ideal back-pushing force setting value at the current displacement; compare the actual back-pushing force detected by the force feedback sensor with the ideal back-pushing force setting value, and adjust the retraction speed of the back-pushing cylinder accordingly, so that the actual back-pushing force follows the ideal back-pushing force setting value. It should be noted that the back-pushing force in this technical solution is the pressure of the back-pushing cylinder.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a hydraulic booster unit is also included: comprising a hydraulic booster and a hydraulic booster pipe communicating with the inner cavity of the straight pipe, for more accurate pressure control during the bending process.

[0047] It also includes: a data acquisition and preprocessing module: used for filtering, outlier removal, and time synchronization of raw data acquired by position sensors and force feedback sensors; a force-position curve tracking and control module: used to dynamically adjust the retraction speed of the rear push cylinder based on the deviation between the actual and ideal rear push force using model predictive control or fuzzy adaptive algorithms; a self-learning and iterative optimization module: used to iteratively update the optimal force-position curve based on historical data and forming quality results; and a process monitoring and fault diagnosis module: used to identify abnormal working conditions during the push-bending process and trigger protection mechanisms. In a preferred embodiment, the optimal force-position curve is obtained by optimizing the relationship data between the main push cylinder displacement and the rear push force through process experiments using a specific type of guide tube, with the goal of obtaining the best forming quality.

[0048] More specifically, the frame and mold-closing mechanism employ a four-column hydraulic press and mold-closing system, including an upper support plate, push rods, guide tubes, and bending tools. The bending mold has a guide sleeve inside, comprising a vertical section and a bending section. The straight pipe to be processed is installed within the vertical section of the guide sleeve, with both sections fitting snugly together. The four-column hydraulic press provides a stable clamping force, ensuring the mold remains tightly closed during the bending process.

[0049] The hydraulic actuator system includes a main pusher cylinder, a rear pusher cylinder, and a hydraulic booster. The main pusher cylinder is connected to the push rod and is responsible for pushing the straight pipe into the bending section; the rear pusher cylinder is pressed against the lower end of the straight pipe through a movable ball joint, providing a reverse pushing force during the bending process; the hydraulic booster is used to improve the accuracy of hydraulic control.

[0050] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, this invention provides a hydraulic conduit bending system based on intelligent control of force-position curves. The bending device of this invention includes a four-column hydraulic press, a bending die, a main push cylinder, a rear push cylinder, and an intelligent control system. The bending die is mounted on the lower table of the hydraulic press, and a guide sleeve is installed inside it. The straight pipe to be processed is installed within the vertical section of the guide sleeve, with the two fitting snugly together. Multiple rubber blocks are filled inside the straight pipe; these rubber blocks deform with the pipe during the bending process, providing internal support.

[0051] In this embodiment, the conduit to be processed is an aerospace-grade magnesium-aluminum alloy conduit with dimensions of [missing information]. For a diameter of 12×1mm and a bending radius of 2D, the optimal force-position curve is fitted using a cubic polynomial, and its form is as follows:

[0052] Among them, displacement The effective interval is The displacement unit is mm, and the thrust unit is N. This curve coefficient was obtained through process testing and can effectively balance the stress on the pipe during the bending process.

[0053] The tail end of the push rod is securely mounted on the main push cylinder, while the head end extends into the guide sleeve and abuts against the head end of the straight pipe via a sealing joint. The main push cylinder is connected to the push cylinder and is responsible for providing the bending power. The rear push cylinder abuts against the tail end of the straight pipe via a movable ball joint, which houses a force feedback sensor to monitor the pushing force during the bending process in real time.

[0054] refer to Figure 2 The force feedback sensor of the rear top cylinder is connected to the control system. The control system includes a signal acquisition module, a data processing module, and an output control module. The controller stores optimized force-position curves for different types of guide tubes. These curves are obtained through optimization using a large amount of experimental data and represent the optimal force-position relationship during the bending process.

[0055] When the thrust detected by the force feedback sensor deviates from the set value of the force-position curve at the current main push cylinder position by more than a preset range, the control system will adjust the retraction speed of the rear push cylinder accordingly; when the thrust is greater than the set upper limit, the retraction speed will be increased; when the thrust is less than the set lower limit, the retraction speed will be decreased.

[0056] In this embodiment, the input deviation of the fuzzy controller The domain of discourse is set as N, deviation rate The domain of discourse is set as N / s, output adjustment amount The domain of discourse is set as mm / s, through control logic, the backward speed of the rear cylinder can be adjusted in real time, the control period is 100ms, and the force-position tracking error can be controlled within ±3%.

[0057] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this invention provides a hydraulic conduit bending system based on force-position curve intelligent control, and provides a control interface diagram of the system.

[0058] It includes a hydraulic press control module, a main push cylinder control module, and a reverse push cylinder control module. The hydraulic press control module allows adjustment of "real-time displacement, real-time pressure, and real-time tonnage"; the main push cylinder and reverse push cylinder control modules allow adjustment of "real-time displacement and real-time pressure". In addition, the main interface displays information such as hydraulic station pressure, oil tank temperature, and part number. The lower part of the interface includes six main modules: "Main Interface," "Hydraulic Press Parameters," "Cylinder Parameters," "Programming Module," "Part Program Selection Module," and "Process Design Module."

[0059] In the hydraulic press parameter module, buttons for the hydraulic press to move downwards and backwards can be set, as well as parameters such as flow rate, pressure, and time. The clamping force and holding time of the hydraulic press can be controlled by pressure and time.

[0060] Under the cylinder parameter module, buttons can be set for the feed and retraction of the left push cylinder and the reverse push cylinder, as well as parameters such as flow rate, pressure, front limit, rear limit, and pressure limit. The hydraulic loading and flow rate of the left push cylinder are controlled by pressure and time. Specifically, under the reverse push cylinder parameters, two buttons can be set: constant pressure and variable pressure. Under constant pressure, the reverse push process maintains a constant pressure; under variable pressure, the reverse push pressure can be adjusted according to different displacements.

[0061] The programming module is used for variable pressure control of the thrust cylinder. Parameters such as project point, displacement, and pressure can be set. Project point is used to define the pressure point at different locations, displacement is used to set the specific displacement of the current point, and pressure is used to set the thrust pressure at the current point. Based on the displacement and pressure values ​​at different points obtained through programming, the change curve of the thrust force during the bending process can be obtained. By adjusting the parameters of displacement, pressure, and point, the speed of pressure loading (linear slope) can be controlled, thereby achieving adjustment between different pressures.

[0062] The part program selection module includes project number, part specification, and program number, totaling 9 specification parameters. These parameters are used to save data from the hydraulic press parameters, cylinder parameters, and programming module, and number them according to the corresponding pipe specifications. Subsequently, the corresponding bending parameters for different pipes are compiled in the corresponding programs for easy recall during actual operation.

[0063] The process design module includes mold parameter design, tube blank size design, rubber block design, lubrication condition design, and top thrust design. It designs corresponding mold structures, tube blank sizes, rubber blocks, lubrication conditions, and top thrust for different tube materials, thereby specifying the corresponding process parameters for the bending process and providing parameter support to the front end (hydraulic press parameters, cylinder parameters, and programming module).
