Description

Online analysis method and equipment for injection mold cooling system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mold design and evaluation, and particularly relates to an online analysis method and equipment for an injection mold cooling system.
Background
The injection molding is widely applied due to high production efficiency, good product quality, less material consumption and low production cost, and the output of the existing injection mold accounts for more than one third of the design and production of the whole plastic mold. With the development of the trend of replacing steel with plastic and replacing wood with plastic, plastic products are increasingly applied in daily life and industry, and the requirements of industries such as automobiles, energy sources, machinery, electronics, information, aerospace and the like on injection molding technology are continuously improved.
The injection molding process mainly comprises the stages of mold locking, plasticizing, injecting, pressure maintaining, cooling, mold opening, ejecting and the like, wherein the cooling time accounts for about 50-80% of the molding period. The injection mold cooling system is an important factor for determining the quality and the production efficiency of a plastic part, not only determines the molding performance, the dimensional precision and the mechanical property of the plastic part, avoids the defects of uneven wall thickness, warping deformation, dimensional change, residual stress and the like of the plastic part, but also influences the length of a molding cycle by determining a cooling process. The reasonable cooling system can adjust the temperature environment inside the injection mold, and realizes uniform and rapid cooling of the plastic part, thereby ensuring the quality of the plastic part, shortening the cycle of injection molding and improving the production efficiency. Therefore, the cooling system is rapidly analyzed in the mold design stage and then used as the basis for adjusting and optimizing the cooling system, and the method has great significance for shortening the design period of the whole mold and the molding period in the actual production of the mold.
The design and analysis of conventional injection mold cooling systems relies primarily on the experience and intuition of designers, which places high demands on the level of designers, and is detrimental to the work of primary designers. In addition, the design relying on experience lacks theoretical basis and scientific calculation, whether the design is reasonable or not needs to be judged through continuous mold testing, and the defect of the plastic part is mainly solved by mold repairing, so that the production efficiency of the plastic part is low, the cost is high, and the quality is difficult to guarantee. With the development of computer application technology, the application of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) in the field of injection molds has enabled the design efficiency and quality of injection mold cooling systems to be greatly improved. The CAE mainly adopts numerical analysis methods such as Finite Element (FEM), finite Difference (FDM) and Boundary Element (BEM), the cooling process is analyzed through an iteration method, and the cooling time in the analysis result can reflect the comprehensive thermal influence effect of the plastic part. Although the CAE result is accurate, the CAD model needs to be reconstructed into the CAE model with the corresponding format, the grid needs to be divided again after the cooling system is modified, the operation is complex, multiple times of modification needs multiple times of analysis, the calculated amount is large, the time is long, and the requirements of online analysis are difficult to meet.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The basic principle of the invention is as follows: and (3) taking the unit cooling time of CAE analysis when a cooling system is not designed as an internal factor for representing the influence on the cooling of the plastic part, calculating an external factor for representing the influence on the cooling of the plastic part by using a simplified finite-length continuous-line heat source model of a constant temperature boundary, and obtaining the comprehensive heat influence effect on the plastic part through the internal factor and the external factor.
The method divides the factors determining the cooling result into two types: internal factors including the material, shape, size of the molding and mold, and the mold temperature, and external factors including the size and position of the cooling ducts and the temperature, flow rate, etc. of the cooling medium. The internal factors are constant for the same pair of molds, and the influence of the internal factors on the cooling process, also called internal factors, is characterized by the size of the cooling time obtained by CAE analysis when the cooling system is not designed. The cooling system is modified and optimized, the size and the position of the cooling pipeline are changed, generally, the length of the cooling pipeline is 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than the diameter of the cooling pipeline, therefore, the cooling pipeline can be approximated to a linear heat source, and the influence effect of the cooling pipeline, which is also called an external factor, is obtained by solving a Fourier heat conduction differential equation. According to the method, only two CAE analyses are needed, a prediction model is constructed through a BP neural network, the cooling time (internal factor) of each grid unit of the plastic part obtained through CAE analysis when a cooling system is not designed and the external factor obtained through calculation are used as the input of a training model, and the cooling time of each grid unit of the plastic part obtained through CAE analysis including the initial cooling system is used as the output of the training model. In the adjusting and optimizing stage of the cooling system, only the external factor needs to be recalculated, and then the comprehensive heat influence effect is obtained by utilizing the BP neural network prediction model, so that the online analysis of the cooling system is realized.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme:
step 1: and (4) carrying out cooling analysis on the model only comprising the mould and the plastic part by using CAE software to obtain the cooling time of each grid unit of the plastic part. Because the temperature of each unit of the plastic part is different, heat transfer caused by temperature difference exists, and the cooling process of the unit is further influenced. After the surface of the plastic part is dispersed into triangular units, the units have geometrical topological relation, the triangular units comprising the same node are adjacent units, so that the cooling time of the unit and the adjacent units is selected as the internal factor of the unit together, and the internal factor is a matrix at the moment.
Preferably, the cooling process of each unit in step 1 is affected by all other units, increasing the number of adjacent units can better characterize internal factors, and further improve the accuracy of the comprehensive thermal influence effect, but the calculation cost and time are increased, and generally 1 to 5 circles of adjacent units are selected.
Step 2: designing an initial cooling system, calculating the centroid coordinates of all grid units and the endpoint coordinates of cooling pipelines, and calculating external factors through a finite-length continuous-line heat source model of a constant-temperature boundary, wherein the used formula is as follows:

and

and
Figure BDA0002431813430000077
coordinates in the axial direction, r, of both end points of the source line heat source with respect to the mirror image line of the boundary surface i i 1 And r i 2 Respectively, represent the cell centroid distance relative to the source line heat source and the cell centroid distance to the mirror line heat source of the source line heat source with respect to boundary surface i.
And 3, step 3: and analyzing the scheme comprising the initial cooling system design by using CAE software to obtain the cooling time of the grid unit, namely the comprehensive thermal influence effect.
And 4, step 4: and (3) establishing a neural network model of an internal factor, an external factor and a comprehensive heat influence effect according to the data obtained in the steps 1, 2 and 3, wherein the internal factor and the external factor are used as input characteristics, and the comprehensive heat influence effect is used as expected output.
Preferably, the neural network model in step 4 adopts a BP neural network, and the model comprises four layers: input layer, hidden layer 1, hidden layer 2 and output layer. The number m of the nodes of the input layer Into Between 1 and 60, the number depending on the number of adjacent cells selected; the number h1 of the nodes of the hidden layer 1 is more than or equal to 2m Into +1, hiding layer 2The number of nodes is between 2 and 20, and the number of nodes of the output layer is 1. The node transfer function selects a Sigmoid function, and the formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0002431813430000078
the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is selected in the training method, and the network training speed is fastest for medium-scale networks. And (3) training the neural network, wherein the proper maximum training times, precision requirements, learning rate and minimum gradient requirements are selected according to the size of the data volume obtained in the step one.
Preferably, the maximum and minimum normalization processing is performed on the data obtained in step 1 and step 2, and each row of the internal factor matrix needs to be normalized separately for the external factors.
The maximum and minimum normalization method is as follows:
Figure BDA0002431813430000081
said x 0 、x min 、x max And x norm Respectively representing the original data, the minimum value in the original data sequence, the maximum value in the original data sequence and the normalized data.
Preferably, the BP neural network model adopts a variable step size adjustment and batch processing method to improve the algorithm, so as to overcome the defects of long training time and slow convergence of the traditional algorithm.
And 5: and in the adjustment and optimization process of the cooling system of the injection mold, recalculating the external factors according to the size and position data of the modified cooling pipeline, wherein the internal factors are not recalculated, and predicting the comprehensive heat influence effect by adopting the BP neural network model trained in the step 4.
The above method is more specifically described below by taking a plastic product as an example:
step 1: fig. 2 shows a part of the plastic product grid in this case, in which the units with common nodes are adjacent to each other, and in the drawing, two types of units with different shading, namely, a unit marked with a "(1)" in the center of fig. 2, of the unit 1 from the near side to the far side respectively represent a first circle of adjacent units and a second circle of adjacent units. Since unit 1 (i.e., the unit labeled "(1)" in the center of fig. 2) has a temperature difference from the adjacent units, there is heat transfer (as indicated by the arrows in fig. 2), and thus each unit cannot be calculated in isolation when the internal factors are considered.
The cooling of the plastic product is closely related to the shape and size of the plastic product, specifically, each unit is affected by all other units, but when the internal factors are calculated, a large amount of redundancy occurs by including all the units, the calculation amount and the calculation time are greatly increased, and therefore, the embodiment is preferably only required to have 1-5 layers of adjacent units. The expression of the internal factor is as follows:
Figure BDA0002431813430000082
theta is described in Represents an internal factor, t represents a cooling time of the current cell (i.e., the currently selected center cell),
Figure BDA0002431813430000091
and
Figure BDA0002431813430000092
respectively representing the 1 st adjacent cell and the n-th adjacent cell of the 1 st turn 1 The cooling time of the individual cells is,
Figure BDA0002431813430000093
and
Figure BDA0002431813430000094
respectively representing the 1 st adjacent cell and the n-th adjacent cell of the 2 nd turn 2 The cooling time of the individual units is,
Figure BDA0002431813430000095
and
Figure BDA0002431813430000096
respectively represent the 1 st adjacent cell and the n-th adjacent cell of the 3 rd turn 3 The cooling time of the individual units is,

and
Figure BDA0002431813430000098
respectively represent the 1 st adjacent unit and the n-th adjacent unit of the m-th circle m The cooling times of the individual units, which were calculated when the cooling system was not designed, were used. The nature of the cooling system which is not designed does not consider the influence of the cooling system, and the influence is reflected in the actual simulation calculation process, the modeling of the cooling system is not carried out firstly, and the processing is simpler. In other embodiments, the cooling system may be designed and then tuned to 0 for its effect on unit cooling during the simulation, but the model tuning process may be somewhat more complex.
Step 2: fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a finite-length continuous-line heat source at a constant temperature boundary, an analytic solution of heat transfer of the heat source at an instantaneous point can be obtained according to a fourier heat conduction differential equation, and the analytic solution of the finite-length continuous-line heat source can be obtained by integrating in time and space.
Because the boundary is constant in temperature, a mirror image heat source is added at the position where the source heat source and the boundary are symmetrical, the difference between the source heat source and the boundary is an external factor, the module in the embodiment has 6 surfaces including an upper surface, a lower surface, a left surface, a right surface, a front surface and a rear surface, and 6 mirror image heat sources need to be arranged. Therefore, the formula for calculating the extrinsic factor is as follows:
Figure BDA0002431813430000099
theta is described ex Indicating the external factor, i =1 \ 82306 indicating the six boundary surfaces of the mold,
Figure BDA00024318134300000910
and

respectively representing the coordinates of the center cell centroid with respect to the source line heat source axis direction and the source line heat source with respect to the boundary surface iThe coordinates of the axis direction of the heat source of the mirror line,
Figure BDA00024318134300000912
and
Figure BDA00024318134300000913
coordinates of two end points of the source line heat source in the axis direction are shown,

and

The above formula is applicable to molds having different numbers of boundary surfaces.
And 3, step 3: after obtaining the internal factor and the external factor, performing CAE analysis on the cooling system scheme containing the initial design to obtain a comprehensive thermal influence effect;
and 4, step 4: and then establishing a neural network model of the internal factors, the external factors and the comprehensive heat influence effect, taking the internal factors and the external factors as input characteristics of the neural network model, and taking the comprehensive heat influence effect as expected output of the neural network model.
Preferably, a BP neural network model is adopted in this case, the maximum iteration step number of model training is 1000, the learning rate is 0.1, and the allowable iteration error is 0.0001. As a simple exemplary demonstration, the BP neural network model designed in this example includes four layers: an input layer, a hidden layer 1, a hidden layer 2 and an output layer; the input layer represents an internal factor and an external factor and comprises 57 nodes; hidden layer 1 and hidden layer 2 contain 120 and 10 nodes, respectively; the output layer represents the composite thermal influence effect and comprises 1 node. The node transfer function selects a Sigmoid function, and the formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0002431813430000101
wherein x represents input data of a node and S (x) represents output data of the node;
preferably, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is selected in the training method, and the algorithm is improved by adopting a variable step size adjusting and batch processing method in the training process, so that the defects of long training time and slow convergence of the traditional algorithm are overcome.
Preferably, before training, the internal factors and the external factors are subjected to maximum and minimum normalization processing. The normalization method comprises the following steps:
