Abstract: The quality of press-fit assembly is closely related to
reliability and safety of product. The paper proposed a keypoint
detection method based on convolutional neural network to improve
the accuracy of keypoint detection in press-fit curve. It would
provide an auxiliary basis for judging quality of press-fit assembly.
The press-fit curve is a curve of press-fit force and displacement.
Both force data and distance data are time-series data. Therefore,
one-dimensional convolutional neural network is used to process
the press-fit curve. After the obtained press-fit data is filtered, the
multi-layer one-dimensional convolutional neural network is used to
perform the automatic learning of press-fit curve features, and then
sent to the multi-layer perceptron to finally output keypoint of the
curve. We used the data of press-fit assembly equipment in the actual
production process to train CNN model, and we used different data
from the same equipment to evaluate the performance of detection.
Compared with the existing research result, the performance of
detection was significantly improved. This method can provide a
reliable basis for the judgment of press-fit quality.
Abstract: An advanced composite flywheel rotor consisting of
intra and inter hybrid rims was designed to optimally increase the energy capacity, and was manufactured using filament winding with
in-situ curing. The flywheel has recently attracted considerable attention from many investigators since it possesses great potential in
many energy storage applications, including electric utilities, hybrid or
electric automobiles, and space vehicles. In this investigation, a comprehensive study was conducted with the intent to implement
composites in high performance flywheel applications.The inner two
intra-hybrid rims (rims 1 and 2) were manufactured as a whole part
through continuous filament winding under in-situ curing conditions,
and so were the outer two rims (rims 3 and 4). The outer surface of rim
2 and the inner surface of rim 3 were CNC-tapered for press-fitting. Machined rims were finally press-fitted using a hydraulic press with a
maximum compressive force of approximately 1000 ton.
