Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aviation structure assembly positioning quality control, and in particular to a method and system for optimizing the design of flexible positioning, assembly and compensation of aviation composite thin-walled curved surface structures. [Background Technology]
[0002] To mitigate the inconsistencies inherent in traditional analog assembly methods, flexible assembly tooling using digital data transfer has been proposed and implemented in production. By adjusting its structure, it can adapt to varying assembly environments and assemble products of varying shapes and sizes. Flexible tooling offers a degree of variability and versatility. As crucial for ensuring accurate aircraft assembly, the positioning accuracy of each tooling terminal directly determines assembly accuracy.
[0003] The positioning of thin-walled, curved aerospace composite structural parts generally requires the participation of multiple positioning execution terminals. Furthermore, in the actual assembly process, even if each positioning execution terminal is within the allowable positioning error range, the product's assembly accuracy cannot be minimized. This is because the final assembly accuracy of an aerospace product is directly related to two factors: the actual positioning accuracy of the tooling and the actual manufacturing or assembly accuracy of the product positioned by the tooling. In particular, thin-walled aerospace composite structural parts have low manufacturing accuracy (typically 8%-10% of the workpiece's thickness dimension) and are large in size. During the assembly process, they are susceptible to assembly deformation due to loads such as gravity, clamping force, and fastening connection force. Ensuring the assembly quality of thin-walled, curved structures is a major engineering challenge that needs to be addressed urgently.
[0004] During the assembly process, the sampling point errors at each positioning end-point of a flexible tooling fixture do not vary independently and randomly, but rather exhibit certain correlations and regularities, due to the influence of the continuous geometric deformation of product parts and the elastic coupling of adjacent contact points within the parts. Traditional methods use the error range of each positioning end-point to express positioning errors, assuming that the positioning errors at each end-point follow a uniform distribution pattern and are independent of each other within the tolerance band. This indifferent positioning accuracy design approach cannot effectively adapt to the continuity between the deformation / error state of the flexible parts being positioned and the actual surface. Furthermore, it can easily lead to geometric deviations and excessive internal stress in the complex assembly process of positioning, clamping, connection, removal, and rebound. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the positioning and adjustment compensation of the flexible assembly fixture as a factor affecting the final assembly accuracy based on the actual manufacturing error state of the parts to be assembled, based on the actual measurement data of the flexible parts. With the goal of minimizing assembly accuracy, an optimization design method driven by measured force and position data is used to optimize the actual positioning position of each positioning end-point. By obtaining the personalized positioning accuracy values of each positioning execution end of the tooling, adaptive adjustment and active compensation control of the tooling during the assembly process can be achieved. Afterwards, a suitable three-dimensional mathematical model is used to express the correlation of positioning errors at each positioning execution end, and the statistical laws of error state distribution are obtained. This can lay the foundation for high-precision assembly quality assurance and low-stress assembly, and avoid geometric interference problems between parts during on-site assembly.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study an optimization design method and system for the flexible positioning and adjustment compensation of aviation composite thin-walled curved surface structures to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and to solve or alleviate one or more of the above problems. [Summary of the invention]
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a method and system for optimizing the design of flexible positioning, assembly and compensation for thin-walled curved surface structures of aviation composite materials. First, digital measurement is used to obtain the actual manufacturing error state of the curved structural parts to be assembled, and mathematical processing is used to express the distribution state and correlation of the errors. Second, based on the actual error state of the workpiece and the load conditions during the assembly process, the positioning and adjustment compensation of the flexible assembly tool is used as a separate variable. The super-element stiffness theory is applied to establish a calculation model for the external assembly deviation of the curved structural parts and predict the assembly deviation value. Third, based on the assembly error theoretical calculation data and the flexible positioning compensation as input, a data-driven method based on a neural network is used to establish a prediction model for the external assembly accuracy of the real curved surface, achieving rapid calculation of assembly accuracy. Then, with the goal of minimizing the assembly accuracy of key feature points on the curved surface shape, an optimization function for flexible positioning and adjustment compensation is established. After using intelligent solution methods to obtain the optimal positioning compensation set at multiple positioning execution ends on the tool, the effectiveness of the solution is verified by field measurement and further feedback correction is made. Finally, the correlation and distribution statistics of the positioning errors at multiple positioning execution ends of the tool are expressed, and the distribution results are visualized, laying a foundation for high-precision assembly quality assurance and low-stress assembly.

[0111] S1: Measure and obtain actual manufacturing and assembly status data of thin-walled curved surface parts of aviation composite materials, using the mathematical methods of Legendre polynomials and generalized Fourier transform to express the actual distribution state and geometric continuity of part errors;
[0112] S2: Based on the actual distribution state and geometric continuity of the obtained part errors, combined with the positioning load conditions during the assembly process, an assembly deviation calculation model is established that integrates the flexible positioning and adjustment compensation amounts at multiple positioning execution ends to obtain the surface shape assembly accuracy value;
[0113] S3: Based on the surface shape assembly accuracy values obtained by the assembly deviation calculation model and the measured assembly status data information, and with the flexible positioning and adjustment compensation values at multiple positioning execution terminals as input, a data-driven method based on a neural network is used to establish a data-driven surface shape assembly accuracy prediction model;
[0114] S4: With the goal of minimizing the prediction results of the data-driven surface shape assembly accuracy prediction model, an optimization objective function is established and solved using an optimization algorithm. The optimal positioning and adjustment compensation value set at multiple positioning execution ends on the tooling is obtained. The effectiveness of the solution is then compared and analyzed using field measurements. After that, feedback is provided to further correct the optimal positioning and adjustment compensation value set.
[0115] S5: A geometric covariance model is constructed by feedback-correcting the optimal positioning and adjustment compensation value set to express the correlation and distribution statistical law between the positioning errors at the end of the multi-positioning execution of the tooling, and the distribution results are visualized.
[0116] Said S1 specifically includes:
[0117] S11: Considering the low manufacturing precision and large size of thin-walled structural parts made of aviation composite materials, a laser tracker and a laser scanner are used to measure the m key feature points on the thin-walled skin part P8 that can reflect the assembly quality characteristics, as well as the m key feature points related to the positioning execution ends of the assembly tooling ( Figure 2 Deviation status of the positioning measurement points coordinated with the 6 clamping units in the
[0118] S12: Based on the deviation states of the key feature points and the positioning measurement points that match the positioning execution ends of the assembly tooling, a geometric covariance model of the surface part on a two-dimensional plane is established, and the surface sampling point deviations are fitted using Legendre polynomials;
[0119] S13: Use the least squares method to solve the coefficients of Legendre polynomials of various orders, perform generalized Fourier transform on the Legendre polynomial series used for fitting, and express the relationship between different key feature points;
[0120] S14: Based on the two-dimensional geometric covariance model, a three-dimensional geometric covariance model of the surface shape error of the curved workpiece is established to accurately express the distribution state and geometric continuity of the part error.
[0121] When establishing a two-dimensional geometric covariance model for a curved surface part in S12, the arrangement direction of key feature points in the U direction on the surface of the part is selected as the primary assembly direction, and the V direction perpendicular to the primary direction is selected as the secondary assembly direction. Deviations of sampling points on the same sampling line in the primary and secondary directions are used as the basis for two-dimensional curve fitting, and two-dimensional geometric covariance models are established in each of the primary and secondary directions.
[0122] The surface sampling point deviations fitted by Legendre polynomials in S12 are expressed using Legendre polynomials of five orders from 0 to 4, specifically:
[0123] r(x i ) * =a s0 F s0 (x i )+a s1 F s1 (x i )+a s2 F s2 (x i )+a s3 F s3 (x i )+a s4 F s4 (x i )
[0124]
[0125] In the above formula, N is the number of sampling points on the sampling line of the main direction of the assembly, l is the order of the Legendre polynomial, a sl is the coefficient of the l-th order Legendre polynomial on the s-th sampling line in the main direction, which is solved by the least squares fitting method; Pl(x i ),Pl(x j ) are the l-order Legendre polynomial functions at x i 、x j The value at r is the value of x on the sth sampling line in the main direction j The deviation value of the sampling point at , R is the l-order Fourier Legendre polynomial function on the s-th sampling line at x iThe value at ; r* is the fitting value of the jth sampling point on the sth sampling line in the main direction of the assembly;
[0126] In S13, the least square method is used to solve the coefficients s of the Fourier Legendre polynomials of various orders. rl :
[0127]
[0128] The above equation is the objective function of the least squares method. The smaller its value, the closer the fitted polynomial curve is to the profile deviation curve. When the objective function takes its minimum value, the set of coefficients obtained is the required Legendre polynomial coefficients.
[0129] In S13, after the generalized Fourier transform, the position deviation of the main direction sampling point and the position deviation of other sampling points on the sampling line in the main direction establish a mutual relationship. The transformation matrix S can be expressed as:
[0130]
[0131] Where s rl are the coefficients of the Legendre polynomial of order l on the r-th sampling line in the main direction.
[0132] Furthermore, the modeling method for the correlation between the deviations of the surface sampling points in the secondary assembly direction of the workpiece is the same as that in the primary assembly direction.
[0133] When establishing the geometric covariance model of the surface deviation of the flexible part on the three-dimensional plane in S14, the sampling points are arranged in order according to the sampling order of the main and secondary directions, and the serial numbers of the sampling points are converted into the coordinates of the sampling points in the sampling area by rounding and taking the remainder.
[0134] Furthermore, the relationship between the deviation of the I-th sampling point with coordinate value (i, j) and the deviation of the J-th sampling point with coordinate value (i0, j0) can be expressed as:
[0135]
[0136] Furthermore, statistical methods are used to derive the variance of the precision values of each key sampling point on the part based on the tolerance band of each sampling point, and the variance is represented by a diagonal matrix Λ.
[0137] Furthermore, the geometric covariance model of the surface shape error of the curved workpiece on the three-dimensional level in S14 is expressed as:

[0142] S23: Based on the geometric position and posture variation errors of the assembly, a positioning compensation δR' is introduced as an input variable for the tool positioning at the deterministic positioning points and the over-constrained positioning points. After that, a clamping force or adsorption force F is applied at all the positioning points to securely connect the assembly tool and the part together.
[0143] S24: Under the action of assembly clamping force or adsorption force, the super-element stiffness matrix theory is applied to establish a calculation model for the assembly deviation of curved structural parts taking into account the positioning compensation of flexible tooling.

The equivalent stiffness matrix of the homogenized material is derived. The inverse of this matrix yields the equivalent macroscopic material parameters, namely the elastic modulus E in the fiber direction, the direction perpendicular to the fiber, and the ply thickness direction, Poisson's ratio v, and shear modulus G. Based on the obtained overall physical performance parameters of the composite structure and the material mechanical constants, the assembly accuracy values at key shape measurement points of the entire assembly are calculated, allowing for rapid and accurate shape assembly accuracy values.

[0154] In the process of generating the training data set for the proxy model in S32, the optimal Latin hypercube test method is used to fill the sample space of the flexible tooling positioning compensation amount, and 800 sample data are generated within the flexible adjustable range of the assembly tooling. Figure 2 There are 6 tool positioning ends on the assembly tool, so a positioning compensation design matrix of 800*6 can be generated. Each row in the matrix represents a positioning accuracy solution for a set of flexible tooling.
[0155] Furthermore, after obtaining the design matrix of the flexible tooling positioning accuracy scheme, the design matrix is used as input and substituted into the assembly deviation mechanical model established in S2 to obtain the shape assembly deviation value on the skin part. This sample data can then be used to train the assembly deviation prediction model of key feature points.
