Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Development and research of mathematical models of automated control system of vulcanizing press’ heating platens for manufacturing rubber products GLEBOV A.O. KARPOV S.V. KARPUSHKIN&#8239;S.V. KRASNYANSKIY M.N. The modeling of a vulcanization of rubber products on the press is considered in the article. The mathematical model of automated control of a platens’ temperature based on the two-position law control has described. A new algorithm for determining constant and variable time step which is necessary for numerical solving the equations of a mathematical model has developed. The temperature fields of different general rubber products has evaluated and analyzed during their vulcanization on press with induction heating. Main recommendations for optimizing temperature control law and structure of platens and press molds has formulated. On the base of obtained numerical experiments results main factors and parameters has identified and systematized that is strongly influenced on the temperature fields of different rubber products. Keywords: vulcanizing press, heating platen, thermal processes, modeling, control, regulation of a temperature, finite element analysis. Contacts: E-mail: g7302@yandex.ru Pp. 33-44.
