Research On Knowledge-Based-Engineering Pouring-Exhausting-Flooding System Design Of Die

Die casting is an important method in the manufacture of precise parts in materials process engineering. With the die being critical equipment in the die casting process, the rationality of its design directly determines the quality of relevant products. And pouring-exhausting-flooding system is an important part of the die as well as a determining factor of the mould cavity filling process. So the rationality of the design of pouring-exhausting-flooding system is very much important in the design and manufacture of the die.The KBE pouring-exhausting-flooding system discussed in this thesis provides an intellective tool for users' convenience. After being inputted with some basic parameters, the KBE system can provide feasible suggestion, typical structure, dimension design and create design drawing with the dimension-driven automatically. The system also applies COSMOS FloWorks to simulate the cavity's filling process, and to verify the rationality of the design of pouring-exhausting-flooding system and provide basis for further improvement.Basing on SolidWorks 2003 and making use of the API objects supplied by SolidWorks 2003, Visual C++ 6.0 was chosen to be the tool for development. In the research, the regular design principles were followed. And at the system analysis stage, the knowledge database, module function and data flow were analyzed, and the system architecture was determined. At the knowledge database and application program design stage, each module's function was designed and realized. And at the CAE analysis stage, combining a case of pouring-exhausting-flooding, a filling process of the mold was simulated to verify the rationality and feasibility in actual application.The technology of KBE is the focal point of this research. It operates in all sectors of the whole development process and acts as a guideline of the system's development. And the succession, integration and management of theories and experiences in the pouring-exhausting-flooding system's design field as well as the integration of CAX and AI were both due to the induction of KBE and gave more practical value to the system.
