The terms "comprising," "including," "and" having an inclusive meaning may be used to specify the presence of stated elements.
(1) Overall framework of digital twin system of hot stamping forming production line
According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the overall architecture 10 of the hot stamp forming line digital twinning system is a three-layer structure comprising: (1) The physical system of the automatic hot stamping forming production line is positioned at the physical layer 100; (2) A network communication, data acquisition, processing, storage and analysis system located in middle tier 200; (3) A three-dimensional production line virtual scene, live video, augmented reality, and operating status billboard presentation system at the service layer 300. The entity object data information in the physical layer 100 is mapped to the simulation object in the virtual space of the service layer 300 in real time through data processing and conversion of the intermediate layer 200. The virtual object in the service layer 300 completely corresponds to the physical object in the physical layer 100 in terms of dynamic and static information, and the two are virtual and real twins of the digital hot stamping forming production line.
The physical layer 100 is a physical object in a physical space of the digital twin system, and is composed of physical devices such as a machine 120, a sensor 125, an actuator 130, and a controller 135. In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the machine 120 refers to all physical equipment in the hot press forming line 100, including a stereo warehouse 1005, a handling robot 1015, etc., a heating furnace 1100, a press 1080, a laser trimming station 1130, a laser welding station 1150, a robotic guided vehicle 1025, etc. The sensors 125 refer to sensing devices for various physical quantities in the machine 120, such as data sensors and transducers for temperature, oxygen content, dew point, current, speed, etc. parameters. The actuator 130 refers to various moving and actuating devices inside the machine 120, such as a heater, a servo motor, a cylinder, a valve, a solenoid valve, and the like. Controller 135 refers to all intelligent control devices that control the operation of machine 120, such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a Human Machine Interface (HMI) unit, and the like.
The devices in the physical layer 100 feed back real-time data information of specific physical objects and processes of the hot stamping production line to the intermediate layer 200 through the network communication link 215, such as temperatures of zones of the heating furnace, oxygen content, dew point, current, temperature, speed of the robot motor, tapping temperature of parts, transit time from the heating furnace to the press, temperature in the press, and down-going time and pressure holding time of the press.
The middle layer 200 implements the data acquisition, processing, storage and analysis processes of the digital twin system, including three functional modules of network communication links 210, 215, 225, 235, network communication system 205, data processing system 220 and data analysis system 230. The network communication links 210, 215, 225, 235 are distributed among the network communication system 205, the data processing system 220, the data analysis system 230, the physical layer 100, and the service layer 300. Real-time data information of the physical objects in the hot stamping line passes through the network communication links 210 and 215 and the network communication system 205 to the data processing system 220. The data processing system 220 classifies, converts, and stores the real-time data information into the data analysis system 230 via the network communication link 225 according to the application requirements of the service layer 300. The data analysis system 230 feeds back the data analysis result to the service layer 300 through the network communication link 235 according to the request information of the specific application service in the service layer 300.
Due to the complexity and unpredictability of the production process of the hot stamping forming workshop, the traditional monitoring mode adopting a data report, a two-dimensional graph and configuration software cannot meet the monitoring requirement under the current manufacturing mode. The workshop management personnel can not obtain accurate production process information in the first time, can not quickly respond to abnormal production conditions, adjust the production plan and guide workshop production. As shown in a service layer 300 in fig. 1, the present application provides a multi-level hot stamping production line operation process control mode based on a three-dimensional virtual scene 310 and a status signboard 305, and assisted by a live video 320 and an augmented reality 325.
The service layer 300 is a simulation object in a virtual space of the digital twin system, corresponds to an entity object in a physical space through a three-dimensional modeled model and a data information presentation tool, and is responsible for providing application-specific services to the physical layer. This layer includes the network communication link 235 as well as the status billboard 305, the virtual scene 310, the live video 320 and the augmented reality 325 for 4 functional modules.
Although the display effect of the status signboard 305 is not as direct as that of the three-dimensional model, it plays an irreplaceable role in the aspect of statistical information attributes (time, text, quantity, etc.), and can display the statistical information and detailed production resource status of each workpiece in real time. In one embodiment of the present application, the status billboard 305 displays the real-time status of the hot stamping line 100 and the historical data generated by the data processing system 220 in different forms, such as text, numbers, tables, dot diagrams, line graphs, dashboards, etc., and also has the function of summarizing the data in different periods (such as in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months). The three-dimensional virtual scene module 310 is a main monitoring mode, and realizes the visual control of the manufacturing process of the hot stamping forming production line from three layers of logistics, equipment and products. The live broadcast video module 320 realizes real-time visual monitoring on key links of the hot stamping production line through a plurality of industrial cameras arranged on site. The augmented reality module 325 comprehensively utilizes three-dimensional modeling, real-time tracking and registration, intelligent interaction, sensors and other technical means to superimpose virtual information on physical objects in the real world, thereby enhancing the internal data information display capability of the physical objects, such as the visual display of the motion state in the equipment.
According to one embodiment of the application, the three-dimensional scene visualization system hardware of the hot stamping forming production line digital twinning system is composed as follows: visual electronic signboards are installed in a company production workshop, an office, a dispatching room and a product display hall, a terminal computer with high graphic processing performance is equipped, a three-dimensional scene production line visual system is operated, and the systems are intercommunicated and interconnected through industrial Ethernet. Production management personnel can master the running state, the yield statistical information, the progress information, the key data historical curve and the like of the production line in real time in offices, dispatching rooms and exhibition halls like putting production workshop sites.
The visual electronic billboard adopts a high-resolution spliced large screen and comprises a matrix type multi-block spliced screen, a large screen controller, a multiplexer, a three-dimensional visual server, a video switch and the like, wherein the three-dimensional visual server is used for installing and deploying a digital twin system application of a hot stamping forming production line, and the large screen controller is used for receiving multi-channel video signals from the three-dimensional visual server and the video switch, processing, deploying and matrix mapping the video signals and displaying the video signals to different areas of the spliced screen.
(2) Physical layer construction method of digital twinning system of hot stamping forming production line
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the exemplary hot stamp forming line 100 is flexible, automated to accommodate different process line requirements, and can produce different types of workpieces after replacement of specialized tools and control software. The production line is divided into three functional modules: (1) a logistics module 105 for preparing materials and transferring workpieces. (2) a pre-processing module 110 for producing a hot press formed workpiece. And (3) a post-processing module 115 for hot-press forming the workpiece.
After the system 100 has obtained the production plan order, it is responsible for preparing raw materials, transferring raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished workpieces by the logistics module 105. The module 105 includes a stereoscopic warehouse 1005, a handling robot station 1015, and a automated guided vehicle 1025. The stereoscopic warehouse 1005 puts the prepared raw material in the loading area of the transfer robot station 1015, and transmits a raw material preparation command 1010 to the transfer robot station 1015. After automated guided vehicle 1025 arrives at the loading location, a request material command 1020 is sent to transfer robot station 1015. After receiving the instructions 1010 and 1020, the handling robot station 1015 puts the raw materials onto the automated guided vehicle 1025, and feeds back the execution result instructions 1010 and 1020 to the stereoscopic warehouse 1005 and the automated guided vehicle 1025, respectively. After the automated guided vehicle 1025 takes the raw material, it begins to enter the pre-processing module 110 for semi-finished product processing.
The pre-processing module 110 is responsible for hot stamping the raw material into a green part. The module 110 includes a loading robot station 1035, a cold charge transfer cart 1045, handling robot stations 1055, 1090, a thickness/marking station 1065, a press 1080, a heating furnace 1100, and a temperature controller 1110.
The feeding manipulator station 1035, upon receiving a material pick-up command 1030 sent by the automated guided vehicle 1025, sends a command 1040 to the cold material transfer vehicle 1045 requesting a feed. After receiving the request 1040, the cold material transfer trolley 1045 sends a feedback instruction 1040 to the feeding manipulator station 1035 to allow feeding if feeding is possible, or else waits until feeding is possible. The feeding robot station 1035, upon receiving the feedback instructions 1040 to allow feeding, feeds the material take instructions 1030 back to the automated guided vehicle 1025 and transports the material from the automated guided vehicle 1025 to the cold material transfer vehicle 1045.
After the material is present in the cold material transfer car 1045, a allow material pick command 1050 is sent to the transfer robot station 1055. The carrying manipulator station 1055 receives the instruction 1050 and then takes the material from the cold material transfer trolley 1045, sends an instruction 1060 to the thickness measuring/marking station 1065 to request thickness measuring and marking, and feeds back an execution result instruction 1050 to the cold material transfer trolley 1045.
After receiving the request 1060, the thickness/marking station 1065 sends a feedback command 1060 to the transfer robot station 1055 to allow feeding if there is an empty station, otherwise waits until there is an empty station. After receiving the feedback command 1060, the handling robot station 1055 feeds the workpiece to the thickness measuring/marking station 1065 for thickness measurement and marking.
According to a processing route established by an actual production process, if the qualified workpiece subjected to thickness measurement and marking by the working station 1065 needs to process a preformed complex part, the carrying manipulator station 1055 sends an instruction 1070 to the press 1080 for transferring. If the press 1080 feeds back instructions 1070 to allow transfer, the handling robot station 1055 transfers the work-piece to the press 1080, otherwise waits until transfer is possible. If a simple part is to be processed that does not require pre-forming, the handling robot station 1055 sends a command 1075 to the furnace 1100 requesting a transfer. The handling robot station 1055 transfers the workpiece to the heating furnace 1100 if the heating furnace 1100 feeds back a command 1075 to allow transfer, and otherwise waits until transfer is possible.
The press 1080 includes two types: preforming and final forming. If complex parts are being produced, the workpiece is first passed through a preforming press 1080, heated in a furnace 1100, and then transferred by a transfer robot station 1090 to a final forming press 1080. If a simple part is to be produced, the workpiece is transported from the transfer robot station 1055 to the heating furnace 1100 without passing through the preforming press 1080, and then transported from the transfer robot station 1090 to the final forming press 1080 after heating.
If the workpiece being produced needs to control the physical properties of its different zones, as required by the actual production process, the press 1080 sends an instruction 1105 to the thermostat 1110 requesting temperature control. After receiving the request instruction 1105, the temperature controller 1110 completes the temperature control requirement and sends an instruction 1105 to the press 1080 for feeding back the temperature control result.
According to the processing route established by the actual production process, if a complex part is produced, the preforming press 1080 finishes processing and sends an instruction 1085 to the transfer robot station 1090 requesting the transfer of the workpiece to the heating furnace 1100. Upon receiving the request command 1085, the transfer robot station 1090 transmits a command 1095 requesting feeding to the heating furnace 1100. After the heating furnace 1100 receives the request command 1095, it feeds back a feed permission command 1095 to the transfer robot station 1090 if it can feed, and otherwise waits until it can feed. Upon receipt of the command 1095 to allow feeding, the handling robot station 1090 sends a feedback command 1085 to the preform press 1080 to allow transfer and transfers the workpiece from the preform press 1080 to the oven 1100.
According to the machining route established by the actual production process, if a simple part is produced, the heating furnace 1100 completes heating of the workpiece, and then sends an instruction 1095 to the transfer robot station 1090 requesting transfer of the workpiece to the final forming press 1080. Upon receiving the request command 1095, the transfer robot station 1090 transmits a command 1085 requesting transfer to the final forming press 1080. Upon receipt of the requested transfer command 1085, the finishing press 1080 sends a feedback command 1085 to the transfer robot station 1090 to allow transfer if available, and otherwise waits until available. Upon receiving the command 1085 to permit transfer, the handling robot station 1090 transmits a feedback command 1095 to the heating furnace 1100 to permit transfer, and transports the workpiece from the heating furnace 1100 to the final forming press 1080. The finished workpiece processed by the finishing press 1080 is a semi-finished product and then enters the post-processing module 115 to complete the processing of the finished workpiece.
The post-processing module 115 is responsible for processing the semi-finished pieces to finished pieces. The module 115 includes a handling robot station 1120, a laser trimming station 1130, a transfer robot station 1140, a laser welding station 1150, and a blanking robot station 1160.
After finishing press 1080 completes the processing of the work pieces, it sends an instruction 1115 to transfer robot station 1090 requesting the transfer of the semi-finished work pieces to robot station 1120. Upon receipt of the request 1115, the carrier robot station 1120 sends an instruction 1125 to the laser trim station 1130 requesting transfer of the workpiece. Upon receipt of the request 1125, the laser trim station 1130 sends a feedback 1125 to the transfer robot station 1120 to allow transfer if the workpiece can be transferred, or else waits until transfer is possible. Upon receipt of feedback command 1125 to allow transfer, the transfer robot station 1120 sends feedback command 1115 to the transfer robot station 1090 to allow transfer, and transfers the workpiece from the transfer robot station 1090 to the laser trim station 1130.
After the laser trim station 1130 completes processing the workpiece, an instruction 1135 is sent to the transfer robot station 1140 requesting transfer of the workpiece to the laser welding station 1150. Upon receiving the request 1135, the transfer robot station 1140 sends a request 1145 to the laser welding station 1150 to transfer the workpiece. After the laser welding station 1150 receives the request command 1145, it sends a feedback command 1145 to the transfer robot station 1140 to allow transfer if possible, or else waits until transfer is possible. After receiving the feedback command 1145 to allow transfer, the transfer robot station 1140 sends a feedback command 1135 to the laser trim station 1130 to allow transfer, and transfers the workpiece from the laser trim station 1130 to the laser welding station 1150.
Laser welding station 1150 is a separate stand-alone station in this embodiment from laser trim station 1130. In another embodiment, the laser welding station 1150 and laser trimming station 1130 may be a one-piece, two-station merge station, i.e., a station having two stations, one for trimming the workpiece and the other for welding the subassemblies together. The laser welding station 1150 described below represents both of these embodiments.

(3) Intermediate layer construction method of digital twin system of hot stamping forming production line
The real-time operating status information of the physical objects, such as the various sensors 125, actuators 130, controllers 135, and machines 120, in the physical layer 100 of the hot stamping line is communicated to the intermediate layer 200 via the network communication link 215 for data format conversion, storage, and analysis. As shown in fig. 4, the network communication system 205 is an important link for implementing data information interconnection of the hot stamping production line, and includes two functional modules, namely bus data 205A and discrete data 205B. The two communication modules are responsible for transferring real-time data of the physical layer 100 into the data processing system 220. Data processing system 220 includes four functional modules: data collection software 220A, data collection tool 220B, data concentrator 220C, and data processing server 220D. Some data may be passed through the data processing system 220 and then directly transmitted to a particular application of the service layer 300 by the ethernet communication link 315; still other data may need to be transmitted to the data analysis system 230 for further analysis. The data analysis system 230 includes three functional modules, namely, a real-time database 230A, a historical database 230B, and a data analysis server 230C, and completes data analysis, mining, and preparation according to specific application requirements of the service layer 300, and provides the data to the service layer 300 through an interface unified with the data processing system 220.
Because of a large number of automation manufacturers and a large number of standards for communication protocols between automation systems, it is necessary to integrate software and hardware data communications of different manufacturers in a flexible manner. OPC UA is a standardized technical framework that integrates information model definitions, services and communication standards. The OPC UA server can be connected to field devices such as programmable controllers, smart meters, etc. of most automation vendors via ethernet, so in one embodiment of the present application, the bus data 205A module uses the OPC UA protocol to obtain data from the OPC UA server of the physical layer 100 and transmit the information to the data collection software 220A module via the network communication links 210, 215. The data collection software 220A module employs an OPC UA client to transmit data information obtained from the bus data 205A module to the data processing server 220D module via the network communication link 210.
Some entity objects in the physical layer 100 do not support the OPC UA protocol but support other field bus communication protocols, such as the Profinet protocol in one embodiment of the present application. The bus data 205A module thus transmits the corresponding data information from the Profinet master site side of the physical layer 100 via the network communication links 210, 215 into the data acquisition tool 220B module. The data acquisition tool 220B module uses the Profinet protocol to transfer the data information obtained from the bus data 205A module from the station side via the network communication link 210 into the data processing server 220D module.
There are also some physical objects in the physical layer 100 that do not support the communication method of the industrial fieldbus, such as the 0-10V status signal of some meters, the 4-20 mA output signal of the thermostat, or some switching value signal, etc., so that these data signals need to be transmitted from the physical objects in the physical layer 100 to the data concentrator 220C module via the network communication links 210, 215 in the discrete data module 205B. The data concentrator 220C module transmits the acquired discrete data to the data processing server 220D module via the network communication link 210.
Twin data representing the real and complete running state of the entity production line in the physical layer 100 is heterogeneous and multi-source data flow, and needs to be classified, summarized, uniformly characterized and the like in a data processing server 220D module, and then result data is transmitted to a data processing system 230 through an ethernet link 225, and the data is further analyzed so as to provide data support service for upper-layer application.
According to the specific application requirements of the service layer 300, some data passes through the data processing server 220D module and is then directly transmitted to the specific application of the service layer 300 by the ethernet communication link 315; still other data needs to be transmitted to the real-time database 230A and the historical database 230B by the ethernet communication link 225, then transmitted to the data analysis server 230C by the ethernet communication link 225, further analyzed, mined and prepared according to the specific application requirements of the service layer 300, and provided to the service layer 300 by the ethernet communication link 315 through an interface unified with the data processing system 220.
In an embodiment of the application, the middle layer realizes equipment connection, data acquisition, data storage, data analysis, application service development and Web front-end system integration based on the strong ubiquitous network connection, flexible data management and rapid application development capability of an Internet of things platform tool thingsBoard.
In one embodiment of the present application, the network communication system 205 employs network switches, wired and wireless routers, and the like; the data processing system 220 employs personal computers PC, raspberry Pi and Arduino, etc. small edge computing devices; the data analysis system 230 is a commercial workstation computer, and realizes the partition selection, storage, cataloguing and indexing of production line data based on a data management engine consisting of CentOS7.0, postgreSQL and a timescaleDB time sequence database; and finally, realizing information interaction between the service layer application and the industrial Internet of things platform based on a Get interface mode of the Restful architecture.
(4) Service layer construction method of digital twin system of hot stamping forming production line
By constructing a digital twin system of a hot stamping forming production line and a three-dimensional scene data processing technology research, design simulation, analysis and optimization are carried out on all links of the production line, such as equipment beat, production plan and scheduling and production process flow, multi-objective optimization design of support flow scheduling, equipment configuration, process flow and production planning is supported, and the flexibility and the intelligentization capability of the production line are improved. Meanwhile, the production line key equipment and regions are monitored in real-time video, and the augmented reality technology is combined for application, so that the dynamic information of the production process, the internal condition of the equipment and the historical action process are displayed in real time, and the abnormal conditions of the production field, such as abnormal temperature zone distribution, transportation overtime, pressure maintaining overtime, over-standard temperature, sudden stop of the equipment and other production emergency conditions, are responded in time.
The hot stamping production line digital twinning system ultimately presents the user with what is presented by the service layer module 300. The building of the service layer module 300 is a system engineering of multi-software collaborative development and multi-function module mutual collaboration. In an embodiment of the application, a ThingsBoard internet of things platform is used as a data application bus, and the development service layer module 300 is designed by using blend, siemens NX and Unity 3D multi-software collaborative modeling. As shown in fig. 3, the construction process of the service layer module 300 mainly includes 6 functional modules, i.e., data collection 3105, geometric modeling 3120, scene optimization 3140, human-machine interface 3145, scene construction 3160, and scene model 3170.
In order to construct a three-dimensional virtual scene, first, all data information of the physical object of the physical layer 100 and the virtual object of the service layer 300 is summarized in the collected data 3105 module, where the data has static types, such as the attributes of the geometric size of the machine 120, the raw material attributes, the workpiece indexes, the communication address of the sensor 125 and the type, quantity, and frequency of the transmitted data, the communication addresses and the communication protocols of the actuator 130 and the controller 135, the types, the data types and the quantity of the charts displayed by the status signboard 305 and the augmented reality 325, the communication addresses and the communication protocols of the industrial cameras in the live video 320, and the like; and dynamic types such as automatic, manual, stop-running status information of the machine 120, alarm information, production volume, tempo data, status data of the sensors 125 during operation of the apparatus, feedback results of the actuators 130, command contents of the controller 135, and the like.
The collect data 3105 module is to separate all data into non-model driven data and model driven data. The non-model driven data is static type data, stored and presented in ThingsBoard in tabular form. The model driving data is dynamic data, and the data is sent to a ThingsBoard internet of things platform for storage by using a WebSocket protocol in the data processing system 220, and is transmitted to a Unity 3D engine in a JSON character string format for data linkage and binding. The aggregated data from collected data 3105 is passed through steps 3115 and 3110 to provide information to geometry 3120 and human interface 3145 modules, respectively.
The geometric modeling 3120 module is a basis for virtual scene construction, a digital model is constructed by using three-dimensional modeling software blend according to the geometric dimensions of the entity objects in the machine 120, and necessary light, material, texture rendering models and special effects are added, so that the three-dimensional model has real texture and is more vivid. In order to reduce the operating pressure of the hardware, the model is appropriately simplified and exported as an FBX format file. The model file is imported into the scene construction 3160 module in step 3125.
The human-computer interface 3145 module includes functions of human-computer interaction design, external input event response and the like, and aims to realize scene roaming in a three-dimensional virtual environment, so that a user has an immersive visual experience. Files that implement the functionality of the human machine interface 3145 are exported in the blend software environment into the FBX format, which is imported into the scene building 3160 module in step 3155.
The scene construction 3160 module is used for further improving the functions of the geometric figure 3120 and the human-computer interface 3145 module in Unity 3D, that is, the design effect of the human-computer interface 3145 and the model file of the geometric figure 3120 are combined into one scene, and scene management, scene roaming, UI interface design, performance optimization and the like are performed. The resulting file output by the scene construction 3160 module is then imported into the scene model 3170 module in step 3165.
The scene model 3170 module is used for performing data binding on information provided by a ThingsBoard internet of things platform in a JSON string format in Unity 3D, so as to realize real-time update of the real-time data-driven virtual scene model, the state signboard 305, the live video 320 and the augmented reality 325 module state information based on the physical layer 100 entity object. In order to balance the contradiction between the complexity of virtual scene rendering and real-time rendering and ensure the fluency of the system in large-scale scenes, the virtual scene needs to be run and optimized, so the scene model 3170 module feeds back the result of the test running to the scene optimization 3135 module in step 3140.
The scene optimization 3135 module feeds back the results of the test run of the scene model 3170 module to the geometry 3120 and the human-machine interface 3145 modules in steps 3130 and 3150, performs design optimization in these two modules, and after iteration, publishes the virtual scene model 3170 model file in Unity 3D to WebGL format and integrates into ThingsBoard platform.

It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the claims.
