专利说明:

The invention relates to a method for determining the temperature of a melt in a melting space, in particular in a screw antechamber, an injection molding machine, comprising the steps of transmitting a first ultrasonic signal from an ultrasonic transmitter into the melting space, receiving the first ultrasonic signal transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter from a first ultrasonic receiver, wherein a first ultrasonic flow path between the ultrasonic transmitter and the first ultrasonic receiver through the melt, calculating the average temperature in the first ultrasonic run as a function of the transit time of the first ultrasonic signal along the first ultrasonic travel path. In addition, the invention relates to a device for determining the temperature of a melt in a melting space, in particular in a screw antechamber, an injection molding machine, with an ultrasonic transmitter, of which a first ultrasonic signal is send into the melting space, a first ultrasonic receiver, wherein a first ultrasonic path between the ultrasonic transmitter and the first ultrasonic receiver passes through the melt, a calculation device, by means of which the average temperature of the melt in the first ultrasonic propagation path can be calculated as a function of the transit time of a first ultrasonic signal transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter along the first ultrasonic travel path. Furthermore, the invention relates to an injection molding machine with such a device.
An important aspect for producing high-quality injection-molded parts is to capture the temperature of the melt as accurately as possible before injection. The quality of the injection molding production also depends on the plastic used, the size of the injection-molded part to be produced, the characteristics of the plasticizing unit and many other points.
For example, in order to measure the temperature in the melt stream, DE 199 44 709 A1 already discloses a device for conducting a polymer melt, wherein an ultrasonic pulse penetrates the melt stream between an ultrasonic transmitter and an ultrasonic receiver, wherein an output signal for determining the parameter is generated from the ultrasonic pulse becomes.

Parameter may be the viscosity, the flow rate, the melt composition, the melt temperature or the flow rate.
JP 01-195013 A, JP 53-130764 A, US Pat. No. 5,951,163 and JP 09-254219 A also disclose injection molding machines and methods in which the ultrasonic measurement is used to determine the melt temperature.
In general, other possibilities are known by which the melt temperature can be determined in an injection molding machine.
The simplest way of measuring melt temperature is by spraying the melt into a container (e.g., PTFE) and measuring the average melt temperature using a puncturing thermometer. In order to estimate at least the axial melt temperature distribution in the screw antechamber, it is possible to measure the temperature in the spray-off jet by means of a thin temperature sensor.
Another possibility is the integration of a suitable temperature sensor in the nozzle or in a measuring adapter between the nozzle and the mass cylinder. By means of thermocouples or resistance thermometers constructed melt temperature sensors can be designed wall-mounted or protruding into the melt. Depth-adjustable versions are also documented. By means of a depth-adjustable thermocouple was in a document [O. Amano, S. Utsugi, Temperature measurements of polymer melts in the heating barrel during injection molding. Part 2: Three-dimensional Temperature Distribution in the Reservoir, Polymer Engineering and Science 29, 1989, pp. 171-177] determines the axial temperature profiles as a function of the screw position for different radial positions of the thermocouple in the melt channel and calculated back to the three-dimensional temperature distribution in the screw antechamber by means of the determined data. In addition to thermocouples and resistance thermometers, infrared pyrometers are also available, which have been designed for use in injection molding.
The speed of sound in a polymer melt is temperature-dependent and can therefore be used for temperature measurement. In some publications [E.C. Brown, P. Olley, T.L.D. Coilins, P.D. Coates, Ultrasonic investigations of process Variation du ring single screw extrusion and injection molding: real time detection of temperature profile and material degradation, Proceedings of the 15th Annual meeting of the Poyimer Processing Society, 1999] such a sound velocity measurement by the melt channel in the nozzle area was realized , The measurement by means of ultrasound can be carried out with very short response times and the result corresponds to an integral mean value of the temperature distribution along the sound path.
In another document [N. Sombatsompop, W. Chaiwattanpipat, Temperature profifes ofglass fiber-filled polypropylene melts In injection molding, Polymer Testing 19, 2000, pp. 713-724; N. Sombatsompop, W. Chaiwattan Pipate, Temperature Distributions of Molten Polypropylene During Injection Molding, Advances in Polymer Technology 19, 2000, pp. 79-86.] A network formed of two different thermocouple wires was used to measure the radial melt temperature distribution during the injection process at different (radial) positions in a measuring adapter in front of the nozzle. Each contact point of the intersecting thermocouple wires corresponds to a thermocouple. The connection between the two types of wire was made by spot welding or by 'weaving' the wires and then soldering.
With temperature-sensitive fluorescent dyes, it is possible to measure a radial temperature distribution in the antechamber. For this purpose, the polymer small amounts of temperature-sensitive fluorescent dyes are added. By means of a light source (e.g., laser), the fluorescent dyes are excited in the focus of a lens (to enable excitation at various radial measurement points in the melt, the lens position is adjustable). The resulting fluorescent light is coupled out via an optical waveguide and analyzed by means of a spectrometer. The temperature-dependent spectrum can be used for temperature recalculation.

Plastics processing (measurement of the temperature distribution in the screw channel of an extruder) with this method was carried out according to another document [A.J. Bur, S.C. Roth, Temperature Gradients in the Channels of a Single-Screw Extruder, Poiymer Engineering and Science 44, 2004, pp. 2148 - 2157].
There are numerous disadvantages to the hitherto known methods for determining the melting temperature, which are specified below. In the former patents, the disadvantage is that only an average of the temperature over the entire melt range is determined. No more specific subdivision and measurement of the temperature in different areas of the melt is possible. In the previous temperature measurements by means of ultrasound, it was thus not possible to measure temperature distributions.
During ejection, a shear heating of the melt occurs (proportional to the pressure loss in the nozzle) which in many cases can not be neglected. The measurement of the average temperature or the axial temperature profile by ejection of the melt gives only a qualitative statement. In addition, these methods can not be used for online measurements.
When measuring with thermocouples or resistance thermometers, a number of measurement uncertainties are given: A heat dissipation error results from the fact that the temperature sensor is in direct communication with the nozzle or the measuring adapter via a shaft. It can lead to temperature gradients and heat can be passed through the supply line or the protective tube. This effect leads to distortions of the measurement result. With wall-mounted temperature sensors, this can lead to the fact that the nozzle wall temperature is measured rather than the melt temperature. Friction errors in the thermocouples protruding into the melt occur at higher flow velocities: The measuring fungus experiences a high shear stress with the consequence that energy is dissipated (as a result of the friction, energy is converted into heat energy). Since thermocouples try to keep the thermal conductivity as low as possible in order to suppress the heat dissipation error already mentioned, this energy can now only be generated very slowly. "* * ΜΙ * Μ Μ * * * * * II ··· ································································································································································· Since sensors in plastics processing are subject to high mechanical stresses due to the high pressures, thermocouples / resistance thermometers must be correspondingly robust. Heat must therefore be passed through the mechanically stable sheath to the actual sensor site, which has a time delay of the measurement result. With melt temperature sensors (based on thermocouples or resistance thermometers) the response times are typically in the seconds range, for dynamic measurements in the field of injection molding, these response times may be significantly too high. Measurements with the infrared pyrometer in the nozzle area can lead to errors due to scattering and reflection of the infrared radiation. Furthermore, many polymers are partially permeable to infrared radiation. The heat radiation comes not only from the surface but also from deeper layers (typically 1 to 8 mm). The emission coefficient of the polymer melt must be known in order to carry out a quantitative measurement. With regard to the emission coefficient and the penetration depth of the infrared radiation, very expensive calibrations are required.
Thermocouple grid is an invasive method of measurement (melt flow is disturbed). Above all, the resistance to continuous load at conventional injection molding pressures is not documented.
Temperature measurement using laser-induced fluorescence requires sensitive optical devices (light source, spectrometer). The measuring process and the calibration are very expensive. The biggest disadvantage of the method is the fact that the polymer melt must be transparent to the excitation light and the fluorescent light.
The object of the present invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved method or an improved device, in particular a more accurate determination of the temperature of the melt should be possible. It should be possible to determine better values in order to guarantee the production of high-quality injection molded parts. 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 999 99 9 9 9 999 9 999 99 9 ** 6 .........
This object is achieved for a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the following steps: sending a second ultrasound signal from the ultrasound transmitter into the melt space, receiving the second ultrasound signal transmitted from the ultrasound transmitter from a second ultrasound receiver, wherein a second ultrasound path is provided between the ultrasound transmitter and the second ultrasonic receiver leads through the melt, wherein both ultrasonic paths lie in a radial measurement plane of the melt space and each have a minimum distance from the center of the radial measurement plane, calculating the average temperature in the second ultrasonic path as a function of the duration of the second ultrasonic signal along the second ultrasonic path, and Calculating the temperature profile in the melting space as a function of the averaged temperature in the first ultrasonic run, the average temperature in the second ultrasonic run, the minimum Ab of the first ultrasonic path from the center of the radial measurement plane and the minimum distance of the second ultrasonic path from the center of the radial measurement plane. Thus, not only is an ultrasonic signal sent into the melt stream, but two ultrasonic signals are used to more closely determine the temperature of the melt stream. From the difference of the two temperature measurements to each other and the respective position of the temperature measurement carried out can be deduced the temperature profile in the melt.
To achieve an even more accurate determination of the temperature profile, the following further steps are provided: sending a third ultrasonic signal from the ultrasonic transmitter in the melting space, receiving the third ultrasonic signal sent from the ultrasonic transmitter of a third ultrasonic receiver, wherein a third ultrasonic path between the ultrasonic transmitter and the third ultrasonic receiver by the melt passes and lies in the radial measurement plane of the melt space, calculating the averaged temperature in the third ultrasonic run as a function of the transit time of the third ultrasonic signal along the third ultrasonic travel path, and calculating the temperature profile in the melt space additionally as a function of the averaged temperature in the third «· ♦» * U · * U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U esse bene. Of course, it is also possible to provide any further ultrasound transmitters or ultrasound receivers which still improve the temperature distribution measurement.
According to a preferred embodiment, it is further provided that the pressure in the melt space is measured by a pressure sensor, wherein the calculation of the temperature in each ultrasonic run is effected as a function of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor.
The advantages of the invention are achieved for a device having the features of the preamble of claim 11 by at least a second ultrasonic receiver, wherein a second ultrasonic path between the ultrasonic transmitter and the second ultrasonic receiver passes through the melt, wherein the calculation means of the average temperature of the melt in the second ultrasonic path as a function of the transit time of a second ultrasound signal transmitted by the ultrasound transmitter along the second ultrasound travel path can be calculated, wherein both ultrasound paths lie in a radial measurement plane of the melt space and each have a minimum distance to the center of the radial measurement plane, and a comparison device, by the function of the averaged temperature in the first ultrasonic travel path, the averaged temperature in the second ultrasonic travel path, the minimum distance of the first ultrasonic travel path from the midpoint of the radial measurement level and the minimum distance of the second ultrasonic path from the center of the radial measurement plane of the temperature profile of the melt in the melt space in the region of the radial measurement plane is calculated. Thus, the calculation device serves to determine the temperature in the individual ultrasonic running paths as a function of the measured speed of sound. In addition, the comparison device takes into account the minimum distances between the ultrasound paths from the center of the measuring plane, which makes it possible to draw conclusions about the temperature distribution (temperature profile or temperature gradient).

Particularly preferred for such a device is provided that the measuring plane is divided into annular concentric circular sections and the number of ultrasonic receiver is as large as the number of annular circular surfaces, in which the radial measuring plane is divided. As a result, an average temperature can be determined for each individual annular circular area.
Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the melting space is delimited by a circular cylindrical wall, wherein the radial measuring plane is bounded by a circular inner circumference of the wall of the melting space. This is especially true when the radial measurement plane is normal to the longitudinal axis of the melt space. For a simple and reliable measurement, it is preferably provided that the ultrasonic transmitter and each ultrasonic receiver has a signal head, wherein each of these signal heads is arranged in the region of the circular inner circumference of the wall. Thus, these signal heads do not extend into the melting space, but end in the immediate vicinity of the inner circumference of the wall of the mass cylinder.
Protection is also desired for an injection molding machine with a device according to the invention.
Further details and advantages of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. Show in it

FIG. 1 generally shows a device 4 for determining the temperature T of a melt in a melting space 1 of an injection molding machine. The melting chamber 1 is bounded by a wall 2, which is part of the mass cylinder 11. The ultrasonic sensors USo to US5 are arranged around the mass cylinder 11. Preferably, the ultrasound sensor USo is designed as an ultrasound transmitter, while the other ultrasound sensors USi to US5 are designed as ultrasound receivers. Specifically, the ultrasonic pulse is passed through the multiplexer 10 from the Puiser / receiver unit 9 to the ultrasonic transmitter USo. Each of these ultrasonic sensors has a signal head 7, which is arranged in the region of the wall 2. Between the signal heads 7 and the individual ultrasonic sensors, a delay line 13 is arranged, which ensure the protection of the ultrasonic sensors US0 to US5 from temperature and pressure. In addition, a pressure sensor 3 is arranged in the region of the wall 2, which measures the pressure P in the melting chamber 1. From the individual ultrasound receivers USi to US5, the measured sound velocity V is transmitted to the multiplexer 10 as a function of the transit time h to t5. The data collected by the multiplexer 10 is passed on to the pulser 9 {receiver unit). From this, they get further into the control and evaluation computer 8. On the one hand, the calculation device 5 is integrated in this control and evaluation computer 8, by which the temperature T is determined as a function of the transit time t and the distance traveled. In addition, the comparison device 6 is integrated into this control and evaluation computer 8, by which the temperature profile Tuuf are calculated as a function of the averaged temperatures T and the distance A of the ultrasonic paths S from the center. This determined temperature profile Tt, can serve as a basis for the entire production control and / or be output on a display device 12.
In order to use the advantages of temperature measurement with ultrasound (non-invasive, very short response times) also for the temperature distribution measurements, this novel measuring system was developed. The radial measurement plane M in the screw antechamber is discretized into n annular circular surfaces K (FIG. 2 shows the case for n = 5). It is assumed for the temperature recalculation that the temperature T in each annular circular area K is constant, * * * · »· ί ·« «I * · * · ι * I * * ·« «· · · · · · · · · · is. The radii
(R 'N can be calculated with η, = Lβ- (i-l), where i holds (/' = 1,2, n), v ») where R (= n) designates the inner radius of the mass cylinder 11 , Assuming that a rotationally symmetrical temperature profile is present, a calculation of the temperatures Tt, T2,..., Tn can be carried out with the minimum number of ultrasonic sensors Nus, mm = n +1.

The angles φ ^, φζ, ··, Φπ-1 are calculated by the formula for the general case. The transit time measurements result in the transit times fj, t2,..., Tn. φ · ι = arcsin (n-i ^

The relationship between the transit times t, the distances D of the sound paths in the various annular areas K and the temperature-dependent
Sound velocity can be represented in a linear equation system Ttransil = D P. The TTransit vector contains the measured transit times along the different sound paths S1t S2, ..., Sn, the distance matrix D, the lengths of the sound paths in the various circular areas K, and the vector P the reciprocal velocities V in the individual areas K. By loosening the given equation, the temperature-dependent sound velocities can be calculated. By calibration measurements, a relationship between the temperature and the speed of sound can be determined and thus be closed by the measured sound running times on the temperatures T in the annular circular surfaces K and thus on the radial temperature profile in the screw antechamber. By measuring at different axial positions also a three-dimensional measurement of the temperature distribution in the antechamber is possible. Since the speed of sound V also depends on the pressure P, a parallel pressure measurement is necessary to compensate for the influence.

In Fig. 2 it can be clearly seen that the concentric annular circular surfaces K are chosen so that they are arranged at regular radial distances n to r5 about the center X of the radial measuring plane M. In each of these individual circular areas Ki to K5, a temperature measurement is carried out by the present invention, whereby the temperatures Ti to T5 can be deduced. The center X of this radial measurement plane M is the starting point for the outer radii n to r5 of the individual circular surfaces K-1 to K5. The outer radius η of the outermost circular area K1 is to be equated with the inner circumference of the wall 2 of the melting space 1.
According to FIG. 3, the individual ultrasound receivers US1 to US5 are arranged with respect to the ultrasound transmitter US0 such that the ultrasound paths S1 to S5 each form a chord of a secant through a circular area Ki to K5, wherein the respective chord of a tangent to the next smaller circular area K equivalent. In this case, the minimum distance A of each ultrasonic travel path S to the center X of the radial measurement plane M lies at the intersection of the tangent with the next smaller annular circle K. This minimum distance Ai or A2 can also be seen in FIG. It can also be seen in FIG. 3 that the distances D which travel the ultrasound signal in the individual circular areas K are of different lengths. Thus, this distance D is greatest in the circular area Ki, while it is smallest in the circular area K5. For the calculation of the temperature profile, only the distance D in the respective circular area K is fired back. Since the distance D in the circular area K2 and the distances covered in the circular area Ki are known for the ultrasound path S2 and the average temperature Ti in the circular area Ki is also known by previous measurement, the temperature Ti can be taken into account in accordance with the length of the ultrasonic path S2 in the circular area Ki on the temperature T2 of the ultrasonic path S2 be deduced only in the region of the circular surface K2. The same calculation continues for the temperature calculations of the ultrasonic paths S3 to S5. Furthermore, it is provided in this Fig. 3 that a reference line G for the angle φ , Φ2, ..., φη.i is formed by a straight line between the ultrasonic transmitter USo and the center X of the radial measuring plane M. 12
In Fig. 4 it is shown that not only an ultrasonic transmitter US0 must be provided. It is also possible to provide two independent ultrasound transmitters US0 and ultrasound receivers USi and US2, wherein the distances Ai and A2 of the respective ultrasound paths S1 and S2 to the center X of the radial measurement plane M are different. The minimum distances Ai and A2 thus each lead from the center point X to the point at which the ultrasonic running path S1 or S2 tangentially intersects the outer radius of the respective smaller circular surface K2 or K3.
The advantages of the present invention are therefore that for the first time a temperature profile of a melt in a melting chamber can be determined by a non-invasive measurement, with very short response times (less than 1 second) and a spatially resolved temperature measurement is possible.
