Abstract

In order to put forward the theoretical calculation formula for the compression force of the compression mold of the trunk trim panel, obtain the influence trend of the process parameters on the molding quality of the trunk trim panel, and obtain the optimal process parameters combination for the compression molding of the trunk trim panel, four process parameters, the heating temperature, time, compression pressure, and holding time, which affected the compression molding, were selected as the level factors; the maximum thinning rate, maximum thickening rate, and shrinkage rate of the trunk trim panel were selected as evaluation indicators and orthogonal experiments were designed and completed; the comprehensive weighted scoring method was used to obtain the comprehensive score results and obtain the comprehensive evaluation indicators of the best combination of process parameters of trunk trim panel; BP neural network and genetic algorithm were used to study the change trend of the evaluation indicators of trunk trim panel with the changes of process parameters; based on the optimal process parameter combination and the established neural network’s prediction function, the maximum thinning rate, maximum thickening rate, and shrinkage rate under a single process parameter change could be predicted, and the influence of a single process parameter on the maximum thinning rate, maximum thickening rate, and shrinkage rate could be obtained; the process parameters were optimized, and a maximum thinning rate of 28%, a maximum thickening rate of 4.3%, and a shrinkage rate of 0.8% were obtained; the optimal molding process parameters of the trunk trim panel were heating temperature of 209°C, heating time of 62 s, molding pressure of 14 kPa, and holding pressure time of 49 s; after optimization, the maximum shrinkage rate was 28.0880%, the maximum thickening rate was 44.3264%, and the shrinkage rate was 0.8901%; according to the optimal process parameters, the quality of the trunk trim panel was very good, which met the production quality requirements.

Numerical Investigation and Mold Optimization of the Automobile Coat Rack Compression Molding

“…In this case, the sheet can be expanded to 2-3 times the thickness of the cold sheet. It should be indicated that the sheet temperature should be less than 230°C; otherwise, the PP polypropylene will degrade, thereby affecting the surface of the molded product and reducing the heat resistance and strength of the product [10,11]. e preheating time of the GMT sheet can be calculated through the following expression [12] (29):…”
