4. processing parameter setting: in vacuum injection molding technique, according to the feature (color, classification, transparency, material etc.), performance requirement of the rapid shaping spare of processing (precision, insulating properties, intensity, high temperature resistant etc.), goods characteristics (Transparent Parts, thin-wall part, large piece, small articles etc.), choose corresponding notes section bar material, obtain the corresponding informance of material simultaneously.In technology library, search for corresponding technological parameters by fuzzy matching, and automatically generate and recommend technology (comprising proportioning, weight and framed size, the gate location of selected materials etc.).
5. image processing process: bubble standard up to standard is set in man-machine interface, realizes collection, processing, analysis, the decision-making of bubble diagram picture finished the judgement of defoaming effect again by image processing algorithm.
The collection of image: utilize high-speed industrial CCD digital camera to take batch mixing cup liquid level in real time, by data line image is transferred in the computer and shows in real time.The video that CCD is taken carries out regularly grasping the instantaneous bitmap images that obtains as handling object.
Image preliminary treatment: comprise zone selection → image smoothing filtering (filtering interfering noise) → contrast enhancing/sharpening (tonal range of original image is extended to whole tonal range make clear picture) → binary conversion treatment (is binary image with greyscale image transitions).
Graphical analysis: the binary image that obtains at the preliminary treatment through image carries out rim detection and feature extraction, utilize the edge that is extracted to discern bubble to be detected, again its feature (as area, girth and number etc.) is added up, obtain the result and can be used as the index of judging decision-making.
Judge decision-making: judge according to graphical analysis combined process requirement as a result whether number of bubbles satisfies the Part Quality Control standard, whether decision circulation froth breaking process needs to proceed.Judged result sends the condition of PLC as the froth breaking of whether proceeding to circulate to.
6. beginning type vacuum injecting and forming operation: by configuration emulation interface, select mode of operation, under automatic mode, click start button, then carry out full automatic notes type operation according to the vacuum injection molding technique flow process.In the running, the user can observe the bubble situation of actual mould material by the video monitoring window, monitor the ruuning situation of each executive component by real-time tendency curve observation vacuum chamber pressure situation, by the emulation interface.
