Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an adhesive application system, and more particularly to an adhesive application system based on digital twins. Prior Technology
[0002] Glue application plays a crucial role in electronics manufacturing, with applications including solder paste application, sealant application, grease application, thermal paste application, and printed circuit board encapsulation. Traditional glue application machines utilize robotic arms or XY(-Z) positioning slides paired with glue valves to achieve automated glue application. However, existing glue application systems and methods have some drawbacks, mainly in the following aspects:
[0003] (1) Path planning: Existing path planning methods mainly rely on manually setting the glue application points and adjusting the spacing between the points based on experience, which is inefficient and prone to errors.
[0004] (2) Parameter setting: The parameter setting of the glue applicator, such as the moving speed, glue dispensing speed, glue valve height, etc., usually needs to be adjusted by human experience and lacks scientific basis.
[0005] (3) Detection of coating results: The detection of coating results mostly relies on manual visual inspection or existing automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment. However, these methods are inefficient, costly, and require a large amount of data collection and training for different coating forms.
[0006] (4) Parameter optimization: Existing parameter optimization methods mainly rely on manual experience and lack effective automated optimization methods, which makes it difficult to improve the coating quality.
[0007] The aforementioned shortcomings mainly stem from the following reasons: various parameters of the coating machine affect the width and height of the adhesive coating, thus impacting the coating quality. However, the complex relationships between these parameters are difficult to quantify, and currently, judgment and adjustment rely primarily on manual experience. Furthermore, the various stages of the coating process are relatively independent, lacking effective integration and utilization of information. For instance, most existing methods for detecting coating results do not consider information obtained during path planning, leading to reduced detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0008] To solve the above problems, a glue application system that can simplify path planning, defect detection, and parameter optimization is needed. Summary of the Invention

The drawings are not depicted to actual scale and are merely illustrative of the invention. Some anatomical forms of the invention are described below as illustrative examples.

[0021] The digital twin-based adhesive application system and method disclosed herein overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies that rely on human experience and trial and error through colloidal physics simulation, and realizes automation and intelligence in adhesive application parameter setting, adhesive application result detection and parameter optimization.
[0022] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an adhesive spraying method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] This disclosure utilizes digital twin technology for colloids to map the real colloid coating process into a virtual simulation environment, thereby automating and intelligently setting coating parameters, detecting coating results, and optimizing parameters.
[0024] Specifically, the colloidal physics simulation program in the computer device can be based on fluid dynamics to simulate the coating behavior of colloids under different parameters, such as based on the Navier-Stokes equations and surface tension physics models, but is not limited to these.
[0025] In one embodiment, by adjusting simulation parameters, such as viscosity coefficient, surface tension coefficient, dispensing speed, glue valve height, moving speed, colloid height, and colloid width, different simulated coating results can be obtained, including the colloid height, width, shape, and whether defects are generated. These simulation results can quantify coating quality and serve as a basis for optimizing coating parameters.
[0026] In one embodiment, in order to make the results of colloidal physical simulation accurate and reliable, it is necessary to obtain the key simulation parameters of the colloid, such as the viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient.
[0027] In one embodiment, the process of establishing a digital twin of the colloidal coating process and comparing the simulation results using experimental data and colloidal physical simulation technology is as follows.
[0028] First, the adjustment of the adhesive applicator begins in step S0. The adjustment is carried out based on the physical simulation model of the adhesive.
[0029] In one embodiment, the physical simulation model of the colloid is established based on the material properties of the colloid, such as using the Navier-Stokes equations and surface tension model in fluid mechanics to describe the flow and deformation behavior of the colloid. The equations of this fluid model can be solved using the particle method or the mesh method, but are not limited to these. For example, any method that can solve the equations is acceptable as long as the viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient are given in advance.
[0030] In step S1, during the colloidal physical simulation, the first step is to plan the path. Based on the coating parameters, such as the width of the colloid, the height of the colloid, or the radius of the colloid, the coating path is planned to ensure that the colloid can uniformly cover the target area.
[0031] Then, (2) parameter setting is performed. Based on the simulation results and the predetermined coating quality requirements, the various coating parameters of the coating device are set through the simulation and optimization algorithm, such as moving speed, dispensing speed, glue valve height, viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient, but not limited to these.
[0032] In one embodiment, each coating parameter may be an initial value input in advance, or an actual measured value obtained based on an experiment, or a simulated value obtained based on simulation calculation, etc., but is not limited to these.
[0033] Next, proceed to step S2 to perform the experimental adhesive application, and then proceed to step S3.
[0034] In step S3, the experimental glue application results are detected by comparing the image of the experimental glue application results with the simulation results, and detecting any abnormal results such as glue application defects, such as insufficient glue, excessive glue, or glue overflow.
[0035] Proceed to step S4 to determine if there are any abnormal results. If the result is yes, that is, the actual coating result is abnormal, return to step S1 and perform parameter adjustment (4), such as adjusting the viscosity coefficient, surface tension coefficient, dispensing speed, glue valve height, moving speed, etc., to obtain different simulated coating results.
[0036] In one embodiment, when reviewing the adhesive application results, the actual adhesive application results can be compared with the simulated adhesive application results as a reference for fine-tuning the model parameters and correcting the gap between the actual adhesive application results and the simulated adhesive application results, but this is not limited to this.
[0037] In step S4, when determining whether there is an abnormal result, if the determination result is no, that is, the actual glue application result is not abnormal, then proceed to step S5.
[0038] In step S5, the glue coating device begins production, for example, by having the glue coating device complete the glue coating operation according to the planned glue coating path and glue coating parameters.
[0039] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of one of the adhesive coating results described in the embodiments disclosed herein, wherein (a) is a schematic diagram of the actual adhesive width W, (b) is a schematic diagram of the actual adhesive height H, and (c) is a schematic diagram of the adhesive coating result.
[0040] In one embodiment, there may be cases where the colloid used, such as commercially available colloids, does not provide information on its viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient. In such cases, the following experimental procedure can be used to determine the viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient values that can be used for simulation.
[0041] Specifically, the model can be fine-tuned and corrected by comparing the results of the simulated colloid with the width or height of the actual colloid obtained from the experiment, as shown in Figure 2, so that the model can produce simulation results that are close to those of the actual colloid, and the values of the viscosity coefficient and surface tension coefficient in the simulation can be deduced from these results.
[0042] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for finding coating parameters and establishing a colloidal physical model according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0043] First, in the experimental step (a), a glue application experiment was conducted. Different glue dispensing amounts were set, and the actual glue application or dispensing experiment was carried out using the robotic arm of the glue application device or the XY(-Z) positioning slide table carrying the glue valve system.
[0044] Then, the experimental results were captured using an imaging device 406 (e.g., a 2D or 3D camera) to obtain an image of the colloid. The height (using a 3D camera) and width (using a 2D or 3D camera) of the colloid were measured based on the image, as shown in Figure 3(a).
[0045] Proceed to step (b) of the sampling process and perform colloidal simulation. Based on the dispensing settings of the experiment, set parameters such as the moving speed of the dispensing valve, the dispensing speed of the dispensing valve, the dispensing height of the dispensing valve on a surface, and the diameter of the dispensing valve (these variables are referred to as ν). Set different viscosity coefficients μ and surface tension coefficients σ to perform colloidal physical simulation.
[0046] In one embodiment, the simulation process may be based on the Navier-Stokes equations and a surface tension physical model, and solved using numerical methods (such as the finite element method or the finite difference method), but is not limited thereto.
[0047] In one embodiment, the simulated colloid height h and simulated colloid width w of each simulation result are extracted, but this is not the only embodiment.
[0048] Proceed to step (c) to establish a continuous function, that is, to perform interpolation on the above simulation results, using the viscosity coefficient μ, surface tension coefficient σ and other known variables ν as inputs, and the simulated colloid height h or simulated colloid width w as outputs.
[0049] In one embodiment, the interpolation method may use linear interpolation, polynomial interpolation, or spline interpolation, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, two continuous functions w(μ,σ,v) and h(μ,σ,v) may be obtained, representing the simulated colloid width w and the simulated colloid height h, respectively, but are not limited thereto.
[0050] Proceed to step (d) Optimization to optimize the simulation parameters, that is, to find the optimal viscosity coefficient using optimization algorithms (such as Nelder-Mead method, L-BFGS-B (Limited-memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno with Bounds) method, Newton-CG (Conjugate Gradient) method, Powell method, and other commonly used optimization algorithms, but not limited to the above methods). and surface tension coefficient In order to reduce the error between the simulation results and the experimental results, in addition, in order to reduce the error between the simulation results and the experimental results, the residual minimization formula disclosed herein (Equation (1)) is used to subtract the simulated colloid width w (simulated colloid height h) obtained by simulation from the experimentally measured colloid width W (colloid height H) for different known variables v, take the square, and sum them to obtain a value. The above optimization algorithm is used to search for the optimal viscosity coefficient and the optimal surface tension coefficient so that this value is as close as possible to 0.
[0051] [Residual Minimization Formula] …Formula (1)
[0052] Where μ* is the optimal viscosity coefficient (unit: kg / m*s), σ* is the optimal surface tension coefficient (unit: N / m), H(v) represents the experimentally measured colloid height given v, and W(v) represents the experimentally measured colloid width given v.
[0053] In one embodiment, the above process is not limited to optimizing the viscosity coefficient μ and the surface tension coefficient σ. For example, it can also be used to find other optimization parameters such as the dispensing speed (flow rate) (unit m / s), dispensing time (unit s), and dispensing size (unit cm), and is not limited to these.
[0054] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the actual optimization results according to the embodiments disclosed herein.
[0055] Figure 4 shows the parameter optimization results in a real-world case. The Y-axis represents the width of the colloid in millimeters (mm); the X-axis represents the moving velocity of the colloid valve; the dots represent the experimentally measured colloid width data, and the dashed lines represent the simulated colloid width results obtained using the optimized simulation parameters.
[0056] As can be seen from Figure 4, the simulation results obtained using the optimized simulation parameters have a good agreement with the experimental results. This indicates that the parameter optimization method proposed in this paper can effectively find appropriate simulation parameters, making the simulation results closer to the real situation.
