METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING STATES OF INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE
A system and a method for monitoring states of an injection molding machine includes a data collector, a controller, and an alarm apparatus. The data collector communicates with a molding equipment, a mold, and a mold temperature controller. Data of the molding equipment, data of the mold, and data of the mold temperature controller is constantly collected in real time by the data collector. The controller determines whether the data comprises a value exceeding a predetermined value range. The alarm is activated if the data is determined to comprises a value exceeding the predetermined value ranges.
1 . A system adapted for monitoring sates of an injection molding machine, the injection molding machine comprising a molding equipment, a mold, and a mold temperature controller, the system comprising:
a data collector communicating with the molding equipment, the mold, and the mold temperature controller, and being configured to collect data of the molding equipment, data of the mold, and date of the mold temperature controller in real time;
a controller configured to receive the data collected by the data collector and to determine whether the data comprises a value exceeding a predetermined value range; and
an alarm apparatus configured for issuing an alarm if the data is determined to comprise a value exceeding the predetermined value range.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data of the molding equipment comprising a position of a start point of injection, a position of an end point of injection, a switching position, a switching time period, a switching pressure, a glue melting terminus, a glue melting time period, a post-cooling time, and a temperature of an injection nozzle.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the data of the mold comprises a pressure of plastic materials, a temperature of plastic materials, a temperature of a male mold, and a temperature of a female mold.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the data of the mold temperature controller comprises a temperature of hot water and a temperature of cold water.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the data of the mold and the data of the mold temperature controller are collected in a frequency ranging of 20 Hz to 50 Hz.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data collector comprises a camera, the camera communicates with the controller and is configured to collect an image of a molding product in real time, the controller is further configured to receive the image transmitted by the camera and to determine whether the molding product meets a preset standard according to the transmitted image.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a memory communicating with the controller and configured to store the data and the predetermined value range;
a display communicating with the controller and configured to display the data, the predetermined value range, and the alarm data in real time; and
a marking machine configured to print a production number on a molding product.
8 . A method for monitoring states of an injection molding machine, the injection molding machine comprising a molding equipment, a mold, and a mold temperature controller, the method comprising:
collecting data of the molding equipment, data of the mold, and data of the mold temperature controller in real time;
determining whether the data comprises a value exceeding a predetermined value range; and
giving an alarm if the data is determined to comprise a value exceeding the predetermined value range.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the alarm is given according to a size of a deviation from the predetermined value range.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a value range is determined by a method comprising:
obtaining data of the molding equipment, data of the mold, and data of the mold temperature controller corresponding to a good product in real time;
determining a value range according to the corresponding data of all good products.
