摘要
注塑成型是一個生產(chǎn)熱塑性塑料制品最流行的制造工藝，而模具設(shè)計是這個過程的一個重要方面。模具設(shè)計需要專業(yè)的知識、技能，最重要的是擁有該領(lǐng)域的經(jīng)驗。三者缺一不可。生產(chǎn)塑料組件需要選擇恰當?shù)哪＞?，如果缺乏其中之一，這種選擇就得在反復(fù)試驗的基礎(chǔ)上進行。這會增加生產(chǎn)成本，并造成設(shè)計上的不一致。
本文介紹了智能模具設(shè)計工具的發(fā)展。該工具捕獲模具設(shè)計過程的知識，并且以符合邏輯的方式將這些知識反映出來。所獲得的知識將是確定性的，但模具設(shè)計過程中的信息是非確定的。一旦開發(fā)了模具設(shè)計工具，它將指導(dǎo)使用者根據(jù)不同客戶的要求，為其塑料零件選擇合適的模具。



Abstract



Plastic Injection molding is one of the most popular manufacturing processes for making thermoplastic products, and mold design is a key aspect of the process. Design of molds requires knowledge, expertise and most importantly experience in the field. When one of these is lacking, selection of an appropriate mold for manufacturing a plastic component is done on a trial-and-error basis. This increases the cost of production and introduces inconsistencies in the design.



This paper describes the development of an intelligent mold design tool. The tool captures knowledge about the mold design process and represents the knowledge in logical fashion. The knowledge acquired will be deterministic and non-deterministic information about the mold design process. Once developed the mold design tool will guide the user in selecting an appropriate mold for his plastic part based on various client specifications.
