  • Patent number: 11860590
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a model-free optimization method of process parameters of injection molding to solve the problems of frequent tests required and performing adaptive adjustment on different parameters in the existing optimization method. The method need not build a surrogate model between a product quality index and a process parameter to render the process parameter to converge nearby the optimal solution by an on-line iteration method. The present invention calculates the gradient direction of a current point by an iterative gradient estimation method, and uses adaptive moment estimation algorithm to allocate an adaptive step for each parameter. The method can significantly reduce the cost and time required in the process parameter, which greatly helps improving the optimization efficiency of process parameters of injection molding.

  • Patent number: 11752677
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for on-line measurement of the polymer melt temperature, comprising: on-line measurement of ultrasonic sound velocity c of melt in an injection molding process, on-line measurement of melt pressure P in the injection molding process, and obtaining melt temperature T in the injection molding process by formula (1). The present disclosure also discloses an apparatus for on-line measurement of the polymer melt temperature. The method and the apparatus provided in the present disclosure may enable on-line and in-situ characterization of the melt density and further enable on-line quantitative measurement of the melt quality. Compared with infrared measurement methods, the method provided herein is significantly reduced in cost, which is of great significance to theoretical researches of crystallization process and shear heating.

  • Publication number: 20230258604
    Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient ultrasonic phased array phase shift migration imaging method for the defect in a multi-layer structure, including the following steps: (1) transforming full matrix capture data of a multi-layer structure to a frequency-wavenumber domain by means of three-dimensional fast Fourier transform; (2) for any non-traversed layer in the multi-layer structure, extrapolating a surface wave field of the multi-layer structure to an upper interface of the non-traversed layer, to obtain wave field information of the non-traversed layer; (3) according to the obtained wave field information, performing focus imaging on the non-traversed layer in the frequency-wavenumber domain; and (4) repeating the steps (2) and (3), until all layers are traversed, to obtain an imaging result of the multi-layer structure.
