Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production and manufacturing, and in particular to a method for obtaining the height of metal burrs. Background Art

[0002] Drilling is one of the most important machining methods, widely used in all aspects of high-end equipment manufacturing. Due to the high ductility of metal, burrs are easily formed at the exit or entrance of the drilling process. These burrs can cause dimensional deviations at the part edge, increase assembly complexity, and even cause stress concentration at the assembly point, leading to failure. Therefore, metal burrs have become a significant factor affecting workpiece precision and joint strength. Research on this issue has been a hot topic and is of great significance for improving equipment safety.

[0003] Accurately measuring burr height is fundamental to burr reduction research. Ping Wanpeng et al. from Huizhou Yiwei Lithium Energy Co., Ltd. disclosed a "Method for Measuring Burrs in Metal Strips," patent number ZL 201910506925. This method uses a coagulant to solidify a metal strip sample into a solid sample, which is then cut and polished. A measuring instrument is then used to measure and record the burr length on the cross-section of the cut and polished solid sample. This method avoids measurement errors caused by burr compression during measurement. Liang et al. from Zhengzhou University, in their paper "Hole Burr Measurement and Evaluation Based on Linear Laser Displacement Sensors," published in the Journal of Harbin Institute of Technology, describe the effects of stray light caused by multiple reflections and the tilt of the laser imaging surface and the surface of the hole being measured on measurement accuracy. They also propose methods for eliminating stray light and calibrating for tilt. They then develop an algorithm for calculating burr height using sensor measurement data, visualizing burr height and describing the hole burr height. The above research provides some insights for measuring metal burr height. However, existing measurement methods cannot directly obtain the burr height of the entire circumference. It requires manually selecting measurement points and then repeating the measurement multiple times to calculate the average. This is not only time-consuming, but also subjectivity in the selection of measurement points leads to large errors and low accuracy. Therefore, existing measurement methods still cannot meet the needs, and an efficient and high-precision method for obtaining metal burr height is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
