A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11980933B2) discloses a closed-loop control method for mold temperature in a wheel casting process. The method involves acquiring data on mold position temperatures and cooling pipeline signals, storing this data in a database, calculating new process parameters based on the acquired data, and integrating these parameters to control the casting process using a PLC of the casting equipment. The method ensures precise control over the mold temperature during the wheel casting process.

Furthermore, the patent details a closed-loop control system that implements the method described above. This system includes a communication acquisition module, a storage module, and a processing module to acquire, store, and process data related to mold position temperatures, cooling pipeline signals, and mold opening/closing signals. By calculating temperature control parameters based on acquired data, the system enables effective control of the casting process, ensuring optimal mold temperature for wheel casting. The system's ability to store data in a database based on unique IDs allows for easy retrieval and analysis of information related to a single wheel casting process, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the manufacturing process.
