Abstract

The invention relates to a location method of a thin wall curve part based on a bounding box in a multi-point array flexible tool. The location process of the thin wall curve part in the flexible tool is a process that the curve is located in a working area of the tool, and the essence is coordinate transformation. The working area of the multi-point array flexible tool at home and abroad is generally expressed through a hexahedron, the location problem of the thin wall curve part can be converted into calculation of a hexahedron bounding box enclosing the thin wall curve part, and unknown quantity referred to in a coordinate transformation array is defined according to similarity of the bounding box and the working area of the flexible tool, namely calculation of the bounding box of the thin wall curve part. The curve part is contacted with support rods as many as possible in the flexible tool to improve support location stability, namely the projection area of the curve in tool plane is largest. The location process mainly relates to three steps: primary location, fine location and translation, then a parameterization curve equation of the curve part in a tool coordinate system is calculated according to the coordinate transformation array, and finally the height of the support rods is calculated according to the position of the support rods in the flexible tool.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a positioning method for curved surface parts, in particular to a bounding box-based positioning method for thin-walled curved surface parts for multi-point array flexible tooling. Background technique [0002] The typical manufacturing process of some thin-walled curved surface parts in the industry, such as aircraft thin-walled curved surface parts, is to form first and then process. Machining operations such as measuring, contouring, trimming, drilling, etc. present great difficulties. The traditional processing positioning of thin-walled curved parts mainly relies on mold line templates with product shape characteristics and standard process equipment, that is, the surface of the tooling needs to have the same curved shape as the thin-walled curved parts. The traditional positioning method has many coordination links, which has a great impact on the accuracy of parts, and the tooling is bulky. A set of tooling is only for ...
