Description

Forming machine and computer program products for controlling the forming machine

The invention relates to a forming machine control technology, in particular to a forming machine that optimizes the forming operation time after the initial setting of the forming operation, and a computer program product for controlling the forming machine.

The forming machine can be used to manufacture various industrial products, such as various springs (such as compression springs, tension springs, torsion springs, etc.). Forming machines generally have multiple servo drive shafts (such as curve gauges, metal spools, double winding device shafts, probes, cutters, etc.), which can be controlled by controlling the operation of these drive shafts (such as moving the drive shafts to a target position). Shaped spring body. In the past, the action of setting the servo drive shaft was to fill in the list displayed on the operating interface of the forming machine to sequentially set the action time and sequence of each servo drive shaft moving to the target position. However, because the list is mostly in a fixed form (for example, the list is a two-dimensional list in the form of a row and column, the action time corresponding to each row is fixed, for example, the action time of the first line is 0 to 15 seconds, and the action time of the second line is 15 seconds. Up to 30 seconds, etc.), so the time taken to form the spring body cannot be further optimized. For example, if the action of some servo drive shafts can be advanced without causing errors in other servo drive shafts that have already started operation (for example, if a servo drive shaft sets its action time from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, then its operating time can actually be Further advance to 10 seconds to 25 seconds), if you set the motion of the servo drive shaft with a fixed list, it will not be optimized or flexible Perform the forming process. For example, in the interval of 0 seconds to 30 seconds, the setting method of the fixed list cannot set the action time to a time other than the time set in the first and second lines, such as 10 seconds to 25 seconds.

In addition, in order to optimize the forming process, it is common practice to split the motion process of the servo drive shaft into multiple sub-actions, but this will cause the servo drive shaft to have incoherent motions.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a forming machine and a computer program product for controlling the forming machine, which can optimize the forming operation and reduce the forming operation by adjusting the action time of the servo drive shaft without splitting the action flow of the servo drive shaft. Time spent (for example, to reduce the time required to form the spring body).

According to some embodiments, the forming machine includes a plurality of actuating components, a processor, a display, and a control interface. The actuating components receive a control signal to perform a forming operation. The processor includes an action editing module and a time editing module. The action editing module generates an action editing table. The action edit table contains a two-dimensional arrangement of plural action grids. Each action frame in a first dimension is sequentially defined with an action level indicating an execution sequence, and each action frame in a second dimension corresponds to the actuating components one-to-one. Each action grid can be filled with an action parameter to generate a control signal according to the action level and the action parameter. The time editing module generates a time editing screen. The time editing screen has a time axis and at least one period marking element. Each period indicator element corresponds to each action grid filled with action parameters in the action edit table one-to-one. A section of the period indicator element mapped to the time axis indicates the operation period of the corresponding actuating component. During the period, the marking component changes the interval in response to an editing command, and moves in conjunction Edit the action level corresponding to the corresponding change in the module. The display shows the action editing table and time editing screen. The control interface is for inputting action parameters and editing commands.

According to some embodiments, the computer program product generates a control signal after being executed by a computer, and the computer is connected to a forming machine including a plurality of actuating parts, and the forming machine operates the corresponding actuating parts according to the control signal. The computer program product includes an action editing module and a time editing module. The action editing module generates an action editing table. The action edit table contains a two-dimensional arrangement of plural action grids. Each action frame in a first dimension is sequentially defined with an action level indicating an execution sequence, and each action frame in a second dimension corresponds to the actuating components one-to-one. Each action grid can be filled with an action parameter to generate a control signal according to the action level and the action parameter. The time editing module generates a time editing screen. The time editing screen has a time axis and at least one period marking element. Each period indicator element corresponds to each action grid filled with action parameters in the action edit table one-to-one. A section of the period indicator element mapped to the time axis indicates the operation period of the corresponding actuating component. During the period, the marking component changes the interval in response to an editing command, and the corresponding action level is changed in linkage with the action editing module. The display shows the action editing table and time editing screen. The control interface is for inputting action parameters and editing commands.

To sum up, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the action grid filled with action parameters in the action edit table is converted into the period indicator element of the time edit screen by the time edit module, so that the period indicator element can be changed through the edit command. In order to optimize the forming operation without disassembling the action of each actuating part, the forming operation can be optimized to reduce the time consumed by the forming operation (for example, to reduce the forming spring The time required for the body).

The processor 120 is coupled to the display 130 and the control interface 140. The actuating components 110A to 110H are used to receive the control signal sent by the processor 120 to perform the shaping operation. For example, the actuating members 110A to 110H move the position of their shafts at a time point or a time zone according to the control signal to run the forming operation of the forming machine 100 to produce the spring body. The actuating components 110A to 110H are, for example, but not limited to, curve gauges, conveying metal spools, double crimping device shafts, probes, cutters, and the like. The display 130 is used for displaying information generated by the processor 120. Specifically, the display 130 displays a program editing interface for editing the actions of the actuating components 110A to 110H. The display 130 is, for example, but not limited to, a projection display, a stereoscopic imaging display, a liquid crystal display, an organic light emitting diode display, and a touch display. The control interface 140 is used for the user to input parameters and instructions, so that the processor 120 performs corresponding operations after analyzing the input parameters and instructions (for example, the processor 120 generates a control signal to control the forming operation of the forming machine 100). The control interface 140 is, for example, but not limited to, a keyboard, a mouse, a voice input device, a touchpad, and other input/output interface devices. In some embodiments, the forming machine 100 is a forming machine for forming springs. The computer 200 is, for example, but not limited to, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, and the like.

The processor 120 is used to execute a corresponding program for controlling the forming operation of the forming machine 100. The processor 120 includes an action editing module 122 and a time editing module 124 to respectively execute corresponding programs for controlling the forming operation. In some embodiments, the forming machine 100 further includes a memory. The memory stores programs for the processor 120 to read and execute corresponding operations, such as processing The processor 120 performs the operation of generating the control signal. The processor 120 is, for example, but not limited to, a central processing unit, a microprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC, Application-specific Integrated Circuit), or a system on a chip (SOC, System on a Chip) arithmetic circuit.

In some embodiments, the aforementioned action editing module 122 and time editing module 124 include a computer program product. The computer program product is executed by the processor 120 of a computer 200 to generate a control signal, and the forming machine 100 operates according to the control signal. Corresponding to these actuating components 110A~110H. For example, the processor 120 of the computer 200 parses the control signal to operate the corresponding actuation components 110A to 110H. In some embodiments, the computer program product may be a readable recording medium for the computer 200 to read and load programs corresponding to the action editing module 122 and the time editing module 124. In some embodiments, the computer program product can be transmitted to the computer 200 in a wired or wireless manner.

In some embodiments, the forming machine 100 has a controller to control the operation of the actuating components 110A to 110H according to the control signal. In some embodiments, the forming machine 100 and the computer 200 can be integrated into a single device (ie integrated into a single forming machine), wherein the controller of the forming machine 100 and the processor 120 of the computer 200 can be integrated into a single computing processor .

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A. FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of an action editing table 1220 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The action editing module 122 is used to generate an action editing table 1220. The aforementioned program editing interface includes an action editing table 1220. In other words, the display 130 displays an action editing table 1220. The action editing table 1220 includes a plurality of action grids 1224 arranged two-dimensionally. Each action grid 1224 in a first dimension X is sequentially defined with an action level 1226 indicating an execution sequence. The action stage 1226 may be an action sequence associated with the actuating components 110A to 110H, In addition, the sequence of each action stage 1226 is the sequence of the previous action stage 1226. For example, in a plurality of action grids 1224 arranged in two dimensions, the time sequence of the action level 1226 (herein referred to as the second action level) corresponding to the action grid 1224 in the second row is 0.304 seconds to 0.368 seconds, which is located in the first row. The time sequence of the action level 1226 (herein referred to as the first action level) corresponding to the action grid 1224 of the row is 0 second to 0.304 seconds, that is, the first action level is the previous action level 1226 of the second action level. In some embodiments, the length of the time sequence interval of the action level 1226 corresponding to each action grid 1224 can be individually defined. Each action frame 1224 in a second dimension Y corresponds to the actuating parts 110A to 110H in a one-to-one manner. For example, among a plurality of action grids 1224 arranged two-dimensionally, the action grid 1224 located in the first column corresponds to the actuating component 110A, and the action grid 1224 located in the second column corresponds to the actuating component 110B.

Each action grid 1224 is for filling action parameters 1222. Specifically, the control interface 140 allows the user to input action parameters 1222 to fill in the action grid 1224. For example, the action editing module 122 receives the action parameter 1222 from the control interface 140, and parses the data contained in the action parameter 1222 (for example, the action editing module 122 parses the action parameter 1222 to obtain which actuation component 110A~110H it corresponds to) , To fill the action parameter 1222 into the corresponding action grid 1224.

Refer to Figure 2A and Figure 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of part of the actuating components 110A to 110H in the forming machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The action parameter 1222 may be, for example, a parameter such as a distance or an angle. In some embodiments, the action parameter 1222 is a target position of the actuating components 110A to 110H. For example, if an action parameter 1222 with a parameter value of 25.8 mm is filled in the action grid 1224 corresponding to the actuating member 110A, it means that the actuating member 110A is to be moved to the target position coordinate of 25.8 mm. In another example, if corresponds to the actuating part When the action grid 1224 of the component 110G is filled with the action parameter 1222 whose parameter value is -30 degrees, it is the target position coordinate of the actuating component 110G to be moved to -30 degrees.

In some embodiments, the action parameter 1222 is a displacement of the actuating components 110A to 110H. For example, the actuating member 110A moves 25.8 mm along its preset displacement direction to reach the target position. In another example, if an action parameter 1222 with a parameter value of -30 degrees is filled in the action grid 1224 corresponding to the actuating member 110G, it means that the actuating member 110G is to be rotated along its preset rotation direction- 30 degrees to reach the target location.

The action editing module 122 generates a control signal according to the action level 1226 and the action parameter 1222 to control the actuating components 110A to 110H to perform the forming operation. Specifically, in order to form a spring body, the action editing module 122 generates it according to the target position each actuating member 110A~110H needs to reach for forming the spring body and the operation sequence between each actuating member 110A~110H The control signal is used to control the operation of the actuating parts 110A~110H.

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a time editing screen 1240 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The time editing module 124 is used to generate a time editing screen 1240. The aforementioned program editing interface includes a time editing screen 1240. In other words, the display 130 displays a time editing screen 1240.

Refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B together. FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of another action editing table 1220 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The time editing screen 1240 has a time axis 1242 and at least one period marking element 1244. Each period indication element 1244 corresponds to each action grid 1224 filled with action parameters 1222 in the action edit table 1220 one-to-one. For example, the time editing module 124 converts each action grid 1224 filled with an action parameter 1222 into a period indicator element 1244 for display on the display 130, so the period indicator element 1244 corresponds to Action grid 1224 filled with action parameters 1222. In some embodiments, the period indicator 1244 displays the action parameter 1222 filled in the corresponding action grid 1224 on the display 130. For example, the action grid 1224 corresponding to the actuating part 110A filled with 25.8mm is converted to corresponding to the actuating part 110A in the time editing screen 1240, and a period indicator element 1244 of 25.8mm is displayed (for example, the time editing screen 1240 is in The area outside the time axis 1242 is divided into multiple columns respectively corresponding to the actuating parts 110A to 110H, and the action grid 1224 corresponding to the actuating part 110A filled with 25.8mm is converted to the time editing screen 1240. It is located in the column corresponding to the actuating member 110A and displays a period indicator element 1244 of 25.8 mm).

A period 1246 where the period indicator element 1244 is mapped to the time axis 1242 indicates the operation period of the corresponding actuating components 110A to 110H. Specifically, the interval 1246 indicates the period from the start of the operation of the corresponding actuation members 110A to 110H to the end of the operation (for example, when it reaches the target position). Taking the 25.8 mm period indicator element 1244 corresponding to the actuating member 110A as an example, the interval 1246 indicates that the operation period of the actuating member 110A is 0 second to 0.15 second. In some embodiments, the time required during the action is calculated according to the operating speed of the corresponding actuating components 110A to 110H and the target position to be reached.

Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of another time editing screen 1240 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The period marking component 1244 changes the range of the interval 1246 in response to an editing command, and links the action editing module 122 to correspondingly change the corresponding action level 1226. Taking the period indicator element 1244 corresponding to the actuating component 110G showing -30 degrees as an example, when the period indicator element 1244 has not responded to the editing command (for example, when the time editing module 124 converts the action grid 1224 to the period indicator element 1244), The interval 1246 of the period marking element 1244 is 0.304 seconds to 0.336 seconds, and after responding to the edit command, the interval 1246 of the period marking element 1244 changes It is 0.206 seconds to 0.238 seconds, and the linkage action editing module 122 changes the corresponding action level 1226 accordingly (for example, in FIG. The time sequence of the corresponding action level 1226 changes from 0.304 seconds to 0.368 seconds to 0.206 seconds to 0.27 seconds). In some embodiments, the period indicator 1244 responds to an editing command from the control interface 140. Specifically, the control interface 140 allows the user to input editing instructions, and the time editing module 124 receives the editing instructions from the control interface 140 and causes the period indicator 1244 to respond to the editing instructions.

Refer again to Figure 2A and Figure 2B. In some embodiments, the action editing table 1220 includes a period alignment element 1229, and the action editing module 122 responds to a setting parameter of the period alignment element 1229, so that the periods corresponding to the same action level 1226 indicate the interval 1246 of the element 1244. It starts at the same time or ends at the same time. For example, if the setting parameter of the period alignment element 1229 is a simultaneous start action parameter, the periods 1246 of the period indicator elements 1244 corresponding to the same action level 1226 start at the same time; if the setting parameter of the period alignment element 1229 Is a simultaneous end action parameter, the interval 1246 corresponding to the period indicator elements 1244 of the same action level 1226 ends at the same time; if the setting parameter of the period alignment element 1229 is a simultaneous start and simultaneous end action parameter, it corresponds to In the periods of the same action stage 1226, the interval 1246 of the marking element 1244 starts at the same time and ends at the same time.

In some embodiments, the timing interval of the action level 1226 is changed according to the interval 1246 of the corresponding period indicator element 1244. For example, if the interval 1246 of the period indicator elements 1244 corresponding to the same action level 1226 starts at the same time and is not At the end of the same time, the start sequence of the sequence interval of the action stage 1226 is the corresponding interval 1246 The start time, and the end time sequence of the time sequence interval of the action level 1226 is the latest end time of the corresponding intervals 1246 (for example, if the end time of one interval 1246 of the corresponding intervals 1246 is 0.12 seconds, the other The end time of the interval 1246 is 0.35 seconds, then the end timing of the action stage 1226 is 0.35 seconds); if the interval 1246 of the period indicator elements 1244 corresponding to the same action stage 1226 ends at the same time and starts at a different time, then The end time sequence of the time sequence section of the action level 1226 is the end time of the corresponding sections 1246, and the start time sequence of the time sequence section of the action level 1226 is the earliest start time of the corresponding sections 1246 (for example, the corresponding sections 1246). The start time of one interval 1246 in the interval 1246 is 0.12 seconds, and the start time of the other interval 1246 is 0.35 seconds, then the start timing of the action level 1226 is 0.12 seconds); if it corresponds to these periods of the same action level 1226 The interval 1246 of the marking element 1244 ends at the same time and starts at the same time, then the end timing of the timing interval of the action stage 1226 is the end time of the corresponding intervals 1246, and the start timing of the timing interval of the action stage 1226 is corresponding The start time of these intervals 1246.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a time editing screen 1240 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the time editing screen 1240 further has an indicator line 1248 and a period setting element 1249. The time editing module 124 responds to a setting parameter of the period setting element 1249 to generate an editing command, so that the indicator element 1244 responds during the period. After the instruction is edited, a start time or an end time pair of the interval 1246 of the period indicator 1244 is located at the indicator line 1248. For example, if the setting parameter of the period setting element 1249 is an initial alignment parameter, after the period indicator element 1244 responds to the edit command generated by the initial alignment parameter, the period indicator element 1244 is the start time of the interval 1246 For the indicator line 1248 (for example, a 38mm period indicator element 1244 corresponding to the actuating member 110E is displayed as an example, When the period indicator element 1244 has not responded to the edit command, the start time of the interval 1246 of the period indicator element 1244 is 0.304 seconds, and the indicator line 1248 is located at 0.206 seconds on the time axis 1242. After the period indicator element 1244 responds to the edit command, The start time alignment of the interval 1246 of the period indicator element 1244 is 0.206 seconds); if the setting parameter of the period setting element 1249 is an end alignment parameter, the period indicator element 1244 responds to the edit command generated by the end alignment parameter Later, the end time pair of the interval 1246 of the period indicator element 1244 is located at the index line 1248.

Refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5. In some embodiments, the action editing table 1220 includes a group setting element 1228, and the action editing module 122, in response to a setting parameter of the group setting element 1228, compiles part of the period marking elements 1244 into a group A , B, so that the period marking elements 1244 corresponding to the same group A and B respond to the same editing command to perform the same change for the corresponding sections 1246, and link the action editing module 122 to change correspondingly These action levels are 1226. In some embodiments, the setting parameter of the group setting element 1228 may be a preset group parameter (for example, a preset group number, such as group A, group B). For example, the period indicator elements 1244 corresponding to the group B change the interval 1246 without changing the time interval between each other in response to the same editing command. For example, the period indicator element 1244 corresponding to the actuation member 110D (herein referred to as the first period indicator element) displayed 115mm and the period indicator element 1244 corresponding to the actuation member 110E (hereinafter referred to as the second period indicator element) displayed as 10.3mm Period marking elements) are group B. The time interval between the marking elements in the first period and the marking elements in the second period is 0.083 seconds. Therefore, the interval 1246 of the marking elements in the first period changes from 1.139 seconds to 1.429 seconds to 0.825 seconds~ At 1.115 seconds, the interval 1246 of the marking element in the second period changes from 1.512 seconds to 1.545 seconds It is 1.198 seconds to 1.231 seconds, and the corresponding action level 1226 is changed continuously. The same change may be that the intervals 1246 mapped to the same group A and B are shifted forward or backward along the time axis 1242 without changing the time interval between each other.

Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of another time editing screen 1240 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of another time editing screen 1240 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the time editing screen 1240 also has a period overlap element 1251. In response to the triggering of the period overlapping element 1251, the time editing module 124 copies the period marking element 1244 in a first time period T1 to a second time period T2, which partially overlaps the first time period T1. For example, when using the forming machine 100 to produce multiple identical springs, the user can trigger the period overlap element 1251. After responding to the triggering of the period overlap element 1251, the time editing module 124 copies the period indicator element 1244 (hereinafter referred to as the third period indicator element 1244C) in the first time period T1 to a third time period following the first time period T1 Another period indicator element 1244 (hereinafter referred to as the fourth period indicator element 1244D) is generated in T3, and the third period T3 to the second period T2 is changed in response to another editing command. For example, the interval 1246 of the fourth period indicator elements 1244D is changed to correspond to the second time period T2 without changing the time interval between each other. For example, move forward along the time axis 1242 to the corresponding second time period T2 so as to partially overlap the first time period T1, and link the action editing module 122 to correspondingly change the corresponding action level 1226. Since the second period T2 of the copied period indicator element 1244 (fourth period indicator element 1244D) partially overlaps with the first period T1 of the copied period indicator element 1244 (third period indicator element 1244C), the shape can be greatly reduced. The total forming time required for multiple identical springs.

The first period T1 is the third period marking element 1244C (for example, used for forming The period during which the first spring is shaped indicates the total period of the interval 1246 of the element 1244). The second time period T2 and the third time period T3 are the total time period of the interval 1246 in which the fourth period indicator element 1244D (for example, the period indicator element 1244 used for forming the second spring) is copied. The total period is the minimum starting time in the interval 1246 of the plurality of third period indicator elements 1244C (or the plurality of fourth period indicator elements 1244D) to the plurality of third period indicator elements 1244C (or the plurality of fourth period indicator elements) 1244D) The period of the maximum end time in the interval 1246. The third time period T3 is continuous in the first time period T1, and is the interval 1246 of the plurality of fourth period indicator elements 1244D in the third time period T3. The period indicates the maximum end time of the interval 1246 of the element 1244C.

In some embodiments, after the user triggers the period overlap element 1251, the time editing module 124 responds to the trigger of the period overlap element 1251 and advances the second time period T2 according to a rule. The rule is that the shifted fourth period indicator elements 1244D do not overlap with the third period indicator elements 1244C and are separated by a buffer time.

To sum up, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the action grid filled with action parameters in the action edit table is converted into the period indicator element of the time edit screen by the time edit module, so that the period indicator element can be changed through the edit command. In this way, the execution sequence and operation time of the actuating parts of the forming machine are changed to optimize the forming operation without disassembling the action of each actuating part to reduce the time consumed by the forming operation (for example, to reduce the forming spring The time required for the body).
