[0050] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0051] The present application embodiment provides an adaptive positioning method for turbine blade tip electrospark forming, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , including the adaptive positioning device used in setting, refer to Figure 1 The device comprises: an arc generator 1 and a paraxial camera 2 arranged on a machine tool spindle 3.

[0052] The adaptive positioning method using the device includes:

[0053] S101, standard sample processing: place a 0.5mm-1mm standard flat plate under the profiling electrode set on the arc generator 1, and use the profiling electrode to perform electrical discharge processing on the flat plate. In some embodiments, the processing depth of the electrical discharge processing is greater than the chamfer radius of the electrode by about 1mm-2mm. Record the first coordinate of the standard flat plate at this time, including the first X-axis coordinate and the first Y-axis coordinate: X 1 ,Y 1 The contoured electrode is a contoured electrode designed to imitate the shape of the inner cavity of the blade tip.

[0054] S102, extracting the machining contour: After the discharge machining is completed, the electrode is lifted, and the machining contour machined by the profiling electrode on the standard flat plate is moved to the center of the field of view of the rangefinder camera 2, and the Z axis of the rangefinder camera 2 (the Z axis represents the height of the rangefinder camera 2 relative to the workpiece) is adjusted to make the image clear. The rangefinder camera 2 transmits the captured image to the computer. In some embodiments, the first image obtained by the rangefinder camera 2 is recognized by image recognition technology, and the machining contour is extracted and displayed in real time on the interface (such as Figure 2 ). And record the second coordinates of the standard plate at this time, including the second X-axis coordinate and the second Y-axis coordinate: X 2 ,Y 2 , and the standard Z-axis distance between the rangefinder camera 2 and the standard plate: △Z.

[0055] In some embodiments, the identifying the first image acquired by the rangefinder camera 2 and extracting the processing contour specifically includes:

[0056] Preprocessing the first image, wherein the preprocessing includes grayscale, contrast enhancement and binarization processing;

[0057] On the preprocessed first image, edge detection algorithms (such as Canny, Sobel, etc.) are used to obtain boundary pixel points in the first image;

[0058] Through connectivity analysis, adjacent boundary pixel points are connected to obtain the processing contour.

[0059] Specifically, the grayscale processing includes converting the acquired color image into a grayscale image. Grayscale images only contain brightness information, not color information, which helps to simplify subsequent processing steps. Contrast enhancement processing includes enhancing the contrast between different objects in the image by adjusting the grayscale value of the image to make the contour clearer. Binarization processing includes converting the grayscale image into a binary image, that is, the grayscale value of each pixel on the image is set to 0 or 255, representing black and white, respectively. This step helps to remove noise from the image and highlight the target contour. After the complete processing contour is extracted, it can be further processed (such as denoising, smoothing, etc.) to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the contour.

[0060] S103, adaptive positioning: The blade is clamped with a special tool and moved to the center of the field of view of the paraxial camera 2. The distance between the paraxial camera 2 and the blade tip is adjusted to the standard Z-axis distance △Z. The real-time image captured by the paraxial camera 2 is transmitted to the computer. In some embodiments, the second image obtained by the paraxial camera 2 is recognized by image recognition technology, and the outer contour of the blade tip is extracted and displayed in real time. The distance between the processing contour and the outer contour of the blade tip meets the preset requirements, and the third coordinate of the blade at this time is recorded, including the third X-axis coordinate and the third Y-axis coordinate: X 3 ,Y 3 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the identifying the second image acquired by the paraxial camera 2 and extracting the outer contour of the blade tip specifically includes:

[0062] Preprocessing the second image, wherein the preprocessing includes grayscale, contrast enhancement and binarization processing;

[0063] On the preprocessed second image, edge detection algorithms (such as Canny, Sobel, etc.) are used to obtain boundary pixel points in the second image;

[0064] Through connectivity analysis, the adjacent boundary pixel points are connected to obtain the outer contour of the leaf tip.

[0065] The specific extraction method refers to the above-mentioned embodiment of extracting the processing contour, which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] In some embodiments, making the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip meet a preset requirement specifically includes:

[0067] Obtaining a minimum value of the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip through an image processing algorithm, and judging whether the minimum value is greater than a preset value, if so, the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip meets the preset requirement;

[0068] If not, the program algorithm calls the X, Y, and C axis instructions of the CNC EDM forming machine to control the blade to move in the X and Y axis directions and rotate in the C axis direction of the machine to adjust the position. After the position adjustment is completed, the minimum value of the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip is automatically obtained, and the judgment is made again until the minimum value is greater than the preset value.

[0069] Specifically, the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip, i.e., the wall thickness value (e.g. Figure 3 , the black line segment in the figure is the wall thickness scale).

[0070] In some embodiments, the obtaining the minimum value of the distance between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip by using an image processing algorithm specifically includes:

[0071] On the second image, a ruler with a known unit length is set, and the number of pixel points within the unit length is constant;

[0072] By comparing the ruler, the number of pixels between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip is calculated;

[0073] According to the corresponding relationship between the unit length of the ruler and the number of pixels, the number of pixels between the machining contour and the outer contour of the blade tip is converted into a distance;

[0074] The minimum value of the distance is found by a traversal or search algorithm.

[0075] In some embodiments, after moving the blade to the center of the field of view of the paraxial camera 2, the method further includes:

[0076] The infrared rangefinder of the paraxial camera 2 is used to obtain the height difference ΔH (such as Figure 4 ), the depth for subsequent forming processing can be obtained.

[0077] S104, blade discharge machining: After the relative position of the blade tip outer contour and the machining contour is fixed, the machining coordinates of the blade tip electrospark forming are obtained based on the first coordinate, the second coordinate and the third coordinate. Then, the machine tool is controlled by a computer program algorithm to move the blade to the machining coordinates of the blade tip electrospark forming, and the machining depth is automatically set to the height difference △H between the blade tip surface 4 and the cover plate 5 set in the blade, and then the blade tip electrospark forming machining can be started.

[0078] In some embodiments, obtaining the machining coordinates of the blade tip electrospark forming based on the first coordinate, the second coordinate and the third coordinate specifically includes:

[0079] Using the formula:

[0080] X 4 =X 3 +( X 1 -X 2 ),

[0081] Y 4 = Y 3 +( Y 1 -Y 2 ),

[0082] Get the processing coordinates, where X 4 is the X-axis coordinate of the processing coordinate, Y 4 is the Y-axis coordinate of the processing coordinate, X1 is the X-axis coordinate of the first coordinate, Y 1 is the Y-axis coordinate of the first coordinate, X 2 is the X-axis coordinate of the second coordinate, Y 2 is the Y-axis coordinate of the second coordinate, X 3 is the X-axis coordinate of the third coordinate, Y 3 is the Y-axis coordinate including the third coordinate.

[0083] In summary, the prior art can only manually observe the relative position of the electrode and the blade from the side, and cannot intuitively display the relative position of the electrode and the blade; through the scheme of this application, the image recognition technology can be used to extract the electrode processing contour and the outer contour of the blade tip, and the paraxial camera 2 can intuitively display the processing contour and the relative position of the blade, so as to obtain a higher positioning accuracy and greatly improve the pass rate of the blade EDM forming processing. Through the scheme of this application, the image processing algorithm is combined with the CNC machine tool, and the relative position of the blade and the electrode can be automatically adjusted, the tool setting can be completed, and the processing depth can be automatically measured, so that the blade positioning and processing process do not require manual intervention, and adaptive processing is realized, which reduces the labor intensity of personnel and saves human resources.

[0084] The following examples illustrate the solutions provided by this application through specific examples:

The X-axis and Y-axis coordinates of the standard plate are set to zero, that is, X 1 =0,Y 1 =0.

[0086] S202, extracting the machining contour: after the machining is completed, lift the electrode to a Z-axis coordinate of 45 mm to ensure that there is no interference with the electrode when the standard plate is moved, move the machining contour of the electrode on the standard plate to the center of the field of view of the rangefinder camera 2, and adjust the Z axis to make the image clear, move the X-axis coordinate, Y-axis coordinate and Z-axis coordinate to integers within the adjustable range, and the rangefinder camera 2 transmits the captured image to the computer, recognizes the image captured by the camera through image recognition technology, extracts the machining contour and saves it, and records the X-axis and Y-axis coordinates of the standard plate at this time: X 2 =-225,Y 2 =20, and the Z axis coordinate at this time: Z 2 =-5.

[0087] S203, adaptive positioning: The blade is clamped with a special tool and moved to the center of the field of view of the paraxial camera 2. The lower electrode performs contact sensing on the upper surface of the blade tip. The Z axis is set to zero at the contact sensing stop position, that is, Z 3 =0, then move the blade to below the rangefinder camera 2 and adjust the Z axis coordinate to Z 4 =-5. The real-time image captured by the rangefinder camera 2 is transmitted to the computer, and the image recognition technology is used to identify the image, extract the outer contour of the blade tip in real time, and judge the relative position relationship between the processing contour and the outer contour of the blade tip through the image processing algorithm. The program algorithm calls the X, Y, and C axis instructions of the EDM forming machine to control the movement of the blade in the X and Y axis directions and the rotation in the C axis direction. After the position adjustment is completed, the distance (wall thickness value) between the processing contour and the outer contour of the blade tip is automatically calculated. The wall thickness value of the blade basin is 1.05mm, and the wall thickness value of the blade back is 0.82mm. The X-axis and Y-axis coordinates of the blade at this time are set to zero: that is, X 3 =0,Y 3 = 0.
