Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle engineering, and in particular relates to a method for soft compensation of a mold surface for improving the surface quality of an outer covering part of a vehicle body. Background Art

[0002] After the original compensation scheme for the mold surface of the body exterior cover is determined in the industry, it is necessary to experiment with the compensation position, compensation range, compensation amount, etc. on the mold surface of the body exterior cover. The experimental method mostly adopts the tape compensation experiment method. The specific operation method is to stick tapes of different thicknesses on the mold surface area corresponding to the surface quality defects of the body exterior cover according to the surface quality defect status to simulate the contour trend of the surface after compensation. This method is limited by the material itself. After the simulated compensation, the surface smoothness is poor, and the fullness of the mold surface of the body exterior cover cannot be accurately restored, which directly affects the authenticity judgment of the compensation position, compensation range, and compensation amount. It is even more impossible to experimentally confirm the mold surface of the body exterior cover with complex shapes. Therefore, although this method has high verification efficiency, the verification accuracy is not high. In this case, multiple experiments are required to achieve the ideal compensation effect, which seriously affects the improvement of the surface quality of the body exterior cover and prolongs the cycle of improving the surface quality of the body exterior cover. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the problem that the verification efficiency of the tape experimental compensation method for the vehicle body outer cover mold surface is high but the verification accuracy is low, the surface smoothness after tape compensation is poor and the fullness of the vehicle body outer cover mold surface cannot be accurately restored, the present invention provides a mold surface soft compensation method for the surface quality of the vehicle body outer cover, which has the advantages of accuracy and easy modification, and effectively reflects the authenticity judgment of the experimental compensation position, compensation range and compensation amount on the vehicle body outer cover mold surface, and fundamentally solves the problem that the verification efficiency of the tape experimental compensation method is high but the verification accuracy is low, effectively improves the surface quality of the vehicle body outer cover, greatly shortens the cycle of improving the surface quality of the vehicle body outer cover, and ensures the production stability of the stamping vehicle body outer cover mold.

[0004] To address the technical challenges of experimental compensation, the present invention selects a suitable soft compensation medium, fully utilizing the fluid properties of the medium before solidification and the self-leveling principle of the fluid medium when covering the molded surface. This approach aims to ensure that the medium remains within the molded surface of complex body panels, particularly on the molded surface of a vehicle body panel. By leveraging the time lag between the liquefaction and solidification of the soft compensation medium, the present invention utilizes the principle of forcing conformal solidification of process components and uses qualified and stable process components from previous processes to control the compensation process. Compared to existing tape compensation experimental methods, the present invention more accurately determines the compensation position, compensation range, and compensation amount after experimental compensation of the vehicle body panel mold surface.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a method for soft compensation of mold surface for improving the surface quality of vehicle body outer covering parts, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1 uses precision measuring equipment to measure the surface quality defects of the body outer cover and the A-surface of the punch of the body outer cover mold, and calculates the compensation position and compensation range of the A-surface of the punch of the body outer cover mold;

[0007] S2, based on the compensation position and compensation range of S1, mixes the soft compensation medium and AB glue in equal amounts and applies the mixture to the position where experimental compensation is required on the A surface of the punch of the body outer cover mold;

[0008] S3: Use a qualified, stable, and cleaned inner surface of the previous process workpiece to buckle it on the glue coating surface and let it stand for 30 minutes. When the temperature of the glue and the parts drops below 50℃, remove the workpiece from the previous process and confirm whether the soft compensation medium - AB glue has reached the correctable curing strength;

[0009] If the correctable curing strength is not reached in S4, continue to wait until it is reached; if the correctable curing strength is reached, use an eccentric vibration grinder to grind and correct the glued surface;

[0010] S5 uses the inner surface of the previous process part that is qualified, stable and has a clean inner surface to color the soft compensation surface of the mold punch A surface;

[0011] S6 then uses an eccentric vibration grinder to correct the soft compensation surface of the mold punch A surface as a whole until the soft compensation surface of the mold punch A surface is evenly colored;

[0012] S7 uses precision measuring equipment to perform secondary data measurement on the soft compensation correction surface of the A-side of the punch of the body outer cover mold. The soft compensation correction surface data of the A-side of the mold punch is compared with the data in S1 to confirm the correction status. If the requirements are met, the mold is left to stand for 24 hours; if the requirements are not met, repeat steps S1-S7.

[0013] S8 uses precision measuring equipment to perform three data measurements on the soft compensation correction surface of the A-side of the punch of the body outer cover mold to confirm the experimental compensation amount of the A-side of the punch of the body outer cover mold, and retains the data as the basic data for mold surface compensation to optimize the surface quality of the body outer cover, and produces test pieces for verification.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S4, the grinding correction method is cover grinding.

[0015] Furthermore, in steps S1, S7 and S8, the measurement accuracy of the precision measuring equipment is 0.001-0.01 mm.

[0016] Furthermore, in steps S2 and S3, the soft compensation medium - AB glue has a self-leveling principle, and the correction allowance error is ≤0.5mm;

[0017] Furthermore, the grinding accuracy verified by the test piece in step S8 is ≤0.01 mm.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] The present invention provides a method for soft compensation of mold surfaces for vehicle body exterior covering parts, which has the advantages of accuracy and easy modification. It effectively reflects the authenticity judgment of experimental compensation position, compensation range and compensation amount on the mold surface of vehicle body exterior covering parts, and fundamentally solves the problem that the verification efficiency of the tape experimental compensation method is high but the verification accuracy is not high. It effectively improves the surface quality of vehicle body exterior covering parts, greatly shortens the cycle of improving the surface quality of vehicle body exterior covering parts, and ensures the production stability of stamping vehicle body exterior covering parts molds.

[0020] To address the technical challenges of experimental compensation, the present invention selects a suitable soft compensation medium, fully utilizing the fluid properties of the medium before solidification and the self-leveling principle of the fluid medium when covering the molded surface. This approach aims to ensure that the medium remains within the molded surface of complex body panels, particularly on the molded surface of a vehicle body panel. By leveraging the time lag between the liquefaction and solidification of the soft compensation medium, the present invention utilizes the principle of forcing conformal solidification of process components and uses qualified and stable process components from previous processes to control the compensation process. Compared to existing tape compensation experimental methods, the present invention more accurately determines the compensation position, compensation range, and compensation amount after experimental compensation of the vehicle body panel mold surface.
