[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0040] First, several terms related to the present application will be introduced and explained:

[0041] GD&T: Abbreviation for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, which means geometric dimension and tolerance. Any part is composed of points, lines and surfaces, and these points, lines and surfaces are called elements. There are always errors between the actual elements of a part after machining and the ideal elements, including shape errors and position errors. Such errors affect the functions of mechanical products, and corresponding tolerances should be specified during design and marked on the drawings according to the specified standard symbols.

[0042] AutoForm: A sheet metal forming simulation software used for body development and die manufacturing.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing a digital mock-up of a vehicle component, as Figure 1 shown, the method for manufacturing a digital mock-up of a vehicle component mainly includes steps S101 - S107:

[0044] Step S101: Modify the first constraint layout for assembling the vehicle component digital mock-up with the whole vehicle to obtain a second constraint layout.

[0045] The constraint layout in the embodiment of the present application includes the position distribution of constraint points on the digital mock-up of the vehicle component, and the connection methods when the constraint points are assembled with the inspection fixture and / or the whole vehicle. The connection methods may include dowel pin connection, support connection and clamping connection. Correspondingly, the constraint points connected by dowel pin are positioning points, the constraint points connected by support are support points, and the constraint points connected by clamping are clamping points. The first constraint layout for assembling with the whole vehicle and the fourth constraint layout for assembling with the inspection fixture can be obtained from the GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) drawing, and the GD&T drawing can be made by a dimension engineer.

[0046] As an optional implementation manner, in step S101, modifying the first constraint layout for assembling the vehicle component digital mock-up with the whole vehicle to obtain a second constraint layout includes:

[0047] Move the constraint points in the first constraint layout that are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance along the shortest moving distance to the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance to obtain the second constraint layout.

[0048] The digital model of vehicle parts includes the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance and the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance. The non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance is the structural surface of vehicle parts, that is, the surface formed by shaping or flanging. The constraint points in the first constraint layout that are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance can be moved to the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance, and the distance from the position before moving should not be too far, so as to reduce the difference in the constraint layout between the digital model of vehicle parts and the actual vehicle parts.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, the first constraint layout is as Figure 2 shown, and the third constraint layout is as Figure 4 shown. Figure 2 In it, A4, A5, positioning hole 1, positioning hole 2, A10, E1, E2, E3, A1’, A9’ and A8 are all constraint points. Among them, A4, A5 and A9’ are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance. Figure 4 In it, A4’, A5’ and A9” are the constraint points obtained by moving the constraint points in the first constraint layout that are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance along the shortest moving distance to the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance.

[0050] As an alternative implementation, in step S101, modifying the first constraint layout of the digital model of vehicle parts for assembling with the whole vehicle to obtain the second constraint layout includes:

[0051] Move the constraint points in the first constraint layout that are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance along the shortest moving distance to the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance, and add the constraint points in the non-critical main type area of the fourth constraint layout to the first constraint layout to obtain the second constraint layout.

[0052] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in some possible embodiments, since the constraint points in the non-critical main type area do not have a matching relationship with other components during the assembly of the whole vehicle, but have a matching relationship during the assembly with the checking fixture, therefore, in order to ensure that the springback detection is qualified both during the assembly with the checking fixture and the whole vehicle, after moving the constraint points in the first constraint layout that are within the non-visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance along the shortest moving distance to the visible area of the vehicle's overall appearance, add the constraint points in the non-critical main type area, that is, the constraint points in the area without a matching relationship during the assembly of the whole vehicle, to the first constraint layout, thereby obtaining a more reasonable constraint layout and improving the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent springback compensation.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, the fourth constraint layout is as Figure 3 shown, and the third constraint layout is as Figure 4 shown.Figure 3 Among them, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, positioning hole 1, positioning hole 2, E1, and E2 are all constraint points. Among them, Figure 3 and Figure 4 among them, A6 and A7 are constraint points in the non-critical main type area.

[0054] Step S102: Based on the second constraint layout, perform springback detection on the vehicle component digital model to obtain the clamping forces of the constraint points in the second constraint layout.

[0055] The vehicle component digital model can be input into AutoForm for springback detection and simulation detection to obtain the clamping forces of the constraint points in the second constraint layout.

[0056] Step S103: Screen the second constraint layout according to the clamping forces of the constraint points in the second constraint layout to obtain the third constraint layout.

[0057] As an optional implementation manner, the springback data in S103 includes the clamping forces corresponding to the constraint points. Screening the second constraint layout according to the clamping forces of the constraint points in the second constraint layout to obtain the third constraint layout includes:

[0058] Removing the constraint points in the second constraint layout whose clamping forces are greater than the preset clamping force threshold to obtain the third constraint layout.

[0059] When assembling with the inspection fixture and the whole vehicle, the binding force between the clamping points and the vehicle components is the most significant, and the resulting springback is also the largest. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of springback compensation, the constraint points with clamping forces greater than the preset clamping force threshold can be removed.

[0060] Step S104: Based on the third constraint layout, perform springback detection on the vehicle component digital model to obtain the first springback data of the vehicle component digital model.

[0061] As Figures 5 - 10 shown, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the springback data before compensation of the third constraint layout in a method for manufacturing a vehicle component digital model provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the springback data after compensation of the third constraint layout in a method for manufacturing a vehicle component digital model provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the springback data before compensation of the fourth constraint layout in a method for manufacturing a vehicle component digital model provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the springback data after compensation of the fourth constraint layout in a method for manufacturing a vehicle component digital model provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 9Schematic diagram of springback data before the first constraint layout compensation in the method for manufacturing a digital model of a vehicle part provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 10 Schematic diagram of springback data after the first constraint layout compensation in the method for manufacturing a digital model of a vehicle part provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figures 5 - 10 The positive and negative values therein are springback amounts. Among them, the positive value represents the protruding effect and the protruding value, and the negative value represents the recessed effect and the recessed value.

[0062] Step S105: According to the first springback data, perform springback compensation on the digital model of the vehicle part to obtain the digital model of the vehicle part after springback compensation.

[0063] Through the foregoing steps, a reliable constraint layout can be obtained. The reliable constraint layout can obtain accurate springback amounts, making the springback amount compensation more reliable, avoiding ineffective compensation, improving the compensation success rate, and further improving the dimensional qualification rate of the vehicle part output.

[0064] Step S106: Based on the first constraint layout, the third constraint layout, and the fourth constraint layout for assembling with the inspection fixture, perform springback detection on the digital model of the vehicle part after springback compensation respectively to obtain the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data of the digital model of the vehicle part after springback compensation respectively.

[0065] Through the simulation analysis of the compensation effect after compensation, not only the state on the inspection fixture can be confirmed, but also the state during the vehicle assembly can be confirmed, ensuring that the compensation is effective, and the springback detection results in the key matching areas where the inspection fixture and the vehicle are matched are all qualified, so as to solve the problem of compensation failure caused by unreliable springback compensation.

[0066] Step S107: If the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data are all within the preset springback data range, output the digital model of the vehicle part after springback compensation, so that the production personnel can produce vehicle parts according to the digital model of the vehicle part after springback compensation.

[0067] If the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data are all within the preset springback data range, it indicates that the springback detection results of the digital model of the vehicle part after compensation are all qualified during the inspection fixture and vehicle assembly, and the processing and production of the physical vehicle part number can be carried out.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing a digital model of a vehicle part. Through this method, the effectiveness of springback compensation can be ensured, the compensation efficiency is improved, so as to avoid the situation that the springback detection on the inspection fixture is qualified while the springback detection during vehicle assembly is unqualified, and further shorten the research and development cycle of vehicle parts.

[0069] As an optional implementation manner, such as Figure 11As shown, the method for manufacturing the digital model of vehicle parts further includes step S108:

[0070] Step S108: If any one of the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data is not within the preset springback data range, then repeat the step of performing springback detection on the digital model of vehicle parts based on the third constraint layout to obtain the first springback data of the digital model of vehicle parts.

[0071] If any one of the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data is not within the preset springback data range, it indicates that the requirement of passing the springback detection during both fixture inspection and vehicle assembly cannot be met. Therefore, springback compensation needs to be performed, and then springback detection is carried out until the second springback data, the third springback data, and the fourth springback data are all within the springback data range, that is, the springback detection during both fixture inspection and vehicle assembly is qualified. At this time, the digital model of vehicle parts after springback compensation is the outputtable solution, so that production personnel can produce vehicle parts according to the digital model of vehicle parts after springback compensation.

[0072] It should be understood that although Figure 1 and Figure 6 the steps in the flowcharts in Figure 1 and Figure 6 are shown in sequence according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise clearly stated in this article, the execution of these steps has no strict order limit, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 and Figure 6 at least a part of the steps in

[0073] can include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps or other steps.
