Simulation and Experimental Study on Parameter Optimization for the Glass Molding Process of Automotive Panoramic Roofs
The automotive panoramic roof exhibits a large-size and thin-wall geometry, with a length-to-thickness ratio approaching the thousand level. This geometric feature makes its forming quality highly sensitive to forming conditions. During the glass molding process, variations in temperature evolution, loading, and cooling parameters may lead to residual stress accumulation and springback deformation, thereby affecting dimensional accuracy and final forming quality. In this study, a full-process finite element model was established and combined with an L16(4^5) orthogonal design to investigate the effects of five key process parameters—heating temperature, holding time, quenching air velocity, quenching air pressure, and quenching time—on the mean residual stress and mean springback displacement in the glass molding process (GMP). The results showed that, within the given parameter ranges, heating temperature, holding time, and quenching time had relatively pronounced effects on the mean residual stress; the mean residual stress was relatively low when the heating temperature was 680 °C, the holding time was 3 s, and the quenching time was 12 s. Heating temperature, quenching air velocity, and quenching time had relatively pronounced effects on the mean springback displacement; the mean springback displacement was relatively low when the heating temperature was 677.5 °C, the quenching air velocity was 13 m/s, and the quenching time was 10 s. Based on the orthogonal analysis, regression models for the mean residual stress and mean springback displacement were further developed, and parameter combinations were screened using the NSGA-III method. Experimental validation showed that the relative error of the mean residual stress was controlled within 15%, indicating that the established model could, to some extent, capture the relationship between process parameters and forming quality indicators, thereby providing guidance for precision forming and process optimization of large-scale thin-walled automotive panoramic roofs.
