The application discloses a
processing method suitable for large marine propellers and relates to the technical field of precise composite
processing of large marine propellers, and comprises the following steps: installing a
propeller and a standard ball on a rotating table of a
machine tool, installing a high-precision calibration needle on a main shaft, establishing a positioning datum of a workpiece by using a
fitting algorithm, constructing a workpiece coordinate
system and a conversion relationship between the workpiece coordinate
system and a
machine tool coordinate
system; acquiring
point cloud data of each part of the
propeller, and converting the
point cloud data to the workpiece coordinate system by using coordinate conversion; performing coarse and fine splicing on blade root
point cloud, combining data of the rest parts, and forming workpiece coordinate system point
cloud data of the
propeller; calculating
polishing amount by using a normal projection
algorithm based on the data; generating a
machining track containing blade thickness calibration according to the
polishing amount, and milling and
polishing the propeller according to the
machining track. The method significantly improves positioning accuracy, effectively eliminates clamping errors, is high in polishing amount calculation precision and efficiency and strong in self-adaptability, and significantly improves
machining efficiency and shortens a
production cycle.
