Adjacent triangle method for calculating distance from point to curved surface

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjacent triangle method for calculating distance from a point to a curved surface, comprising the following steps of: A dispersing a curved surface to be processed to form triangular surface patches and marking serial numbers for the triangular surface patches; B setting a processing feeding direction, dispersing a cutter track into points and then positioning a cutter by using the cutter contacts of the cutter as positioning points; C dispersing the curved surface of the cutter into a plurality of curves, dispersing the curved surface of the cutter into a plurality of dispersing points and then listing the coordinate value relation of the dispersing points; D judging the serial number of a point A0 on the triangular surface patches; E converting the points of a coordinate system of the cutter to the points of a local coordinate system of a workpiece; F finding and arranging the sequence of the adjacent triangular surface patches by using an initial point as the center and then calculating the shortest distance between the dispersing points and the curved surface to be processed; and G dividing the adjacent triangular surface patches into two parts by using the initial point as a demarcation point, clockwise and counterclockwise calculating the shortest distances from the subsequent dispersing points Ai to the adjacent triangular surface patches, determining the adjacent triangular surface patches of the dispersing points Ai+1 according to the coordinate value relation of the dispersing points Ai (i is equal to 1, 2, 3,......) in the local coordinate system of the workpiece in the step D, and then repeating the step F until the calculation of a terminating point is finished.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an adjacent triangle method for calculating the distance from a point to a curved surface, in particular to a method for calculating the shortest distance from a point to a curved surface, and belongs to the technical field of curved surface numerical control processing. Background technique [0002] The machining tool position calculation and interference checking calculation in the surface NC machining can be summed up as solving the problem of the shortest distance from the point to the surface. The processed surface is discretized into a point cloud or a plane slice, and the shortest distance from a point to a surface is converted into the shortest distance from a point to a point or a point to a plane slice. This algorithm has good versatility, and there is no iterative convergence problem. Simplicity and speed have become an important development direction of the calculation method of the shortest distance from a point to...
