[0002] The chemical milling laser engraving equipment is used for digital engraving of aircraft sheet metal skin before chemical milling. In this equipment, the core components are the array clamping system and the engraving system. Before processing, the array clamping system and the engraving system have corresponding post-processing software. After the corresponding program is generated through the theoretical digital model of the sheet metal skin, it is sent to the array clamping system and the engraving system respectively to complete the engraving of the sheet metal skin together.

[0003] Currently, the array clamping system and the engraving system each have a coordinate system and there is no direct relationship between them. After the post-processing software generates corresponding execution programs according to their respective theoretical digital model coordinate systems, the two systems perform corresponding actions according to their respective execution programs. However, since the actual coordinate systems of the array clamping system and the engraving system in the real world need to be mapped to the theoretical digital model coordinate system respectively, the operation in this process is extremely cumbersome, inefficient, and has high requirements on the operator. It is also difficult to accurately map, which is very easy to cause errors, thereby affecting the processing accuracy and causing skin engraving to exceed the tolerance. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the technical solution provided by this application is as follows:

[0006] A method for establishing a spatial relationship between an array clamping system and a carving system comprises the following steps:

[0020] Step 14: When the post-processing software generates the execution program of the array clamping system and the engraving system, a connection is also established in space between the digital model of the part and the actual array clamping system and the engraving system.

[0021] Furthermore, the step 1 is specifically as follows: the linear motion axes of the engraving system mainly include the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, and the rotation axes include the C-axis and B-axis. The geometric accuracy of each axis of the engraving system needs to be adjusted to the required range (the specific range needs to be defined according to the actual situation of the engraving system). The geometric accuracy includes the straightness of each axis and the perpendicularity of each axis to each other.

[0022] Furthermore, in step 2, the motion axes of the array clamping system include the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis, mainly including M rows, each row has N (columns) of lifting columns, so there are M×N lifting columns in total, each row can move along the X-axis, and each can move along the Y-axis and Z-axis in the corresponding row; wherein, M represents the number of rows of the array clamping system, and N represents the number of lifting columns in each row; the overall motion direction of each row in the array is the X-axis, the motion direction of the column is the Y-axis, and the up and down motion direction of each lifting column in the array is the Z direction.

[0023] Furthermore, in step 2, the geometric accuracy of each axis in the array clamping system is adjusted based on each axis of the engraving system to ensure the straightness of each axis of the array clamping system and the parallelism of each axis with each axis of the engraving system, and to ensure that the X, Y, and Z axes in the array clamping system are parallel to the X, Y, and Z axes of the engraving system, respectively, to achieve X k / / X j , Y k / / Y j , Z k / / Z j , where X k Indicates the engraving system X-axis, Y k Indicates the engraving system Y axis, Z k Indicates the engraving system Z axis, X j Indicates the array clamping system X-axis, Y j Indicates the array clamping system Y axis, Z j Represents the Z axis of the array clamping system.

[0026] Furthermore, in step 5, the measuring tool is directly mounted on the lifting column. The measuring tool has a hole for placing the target seat when measuring with a laser tracker. The axis of the hole is coaxial with the blind hole of the lifting column to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the measurement results during subsequent measurements.

[0027] Further, step 6 is specifically as follows: keep the laser tracker stationary, place and fix the measuring fixture on the lifting column of the first row and first column in the array clamping system, place the target seat on the measuring fixture, place the target on the target seat, and record the spatial coordinate value at this time by the laser tracker, and use it as the array clamping system O j -xyz zero point position, and then the X / Y direction V fitted in step 4x and V y As the X / Y direction of the coordinate system in the array clamping system, the coordinate system O in the array clamping system j -xyz is constructed, and the target on the lifting column in the first row and first column is in the coordinate system O j The coordinate value in -xyz is (0,0,0).

[0028] Further, step 7 is specifically as follows: keep the laser tracker stationary, place the measuring fixture on the lifting column of the first row and second column in the array clamping system, and place the target seat on the measuring fixture, place the target on the target seat, measure the coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column, and ensure that the coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column is (0, D y ,0), and set this position as the initial position of the lifting column, where D y Represents the spacing value between adjacent lifting columns in the same row of the array clamping system at the initial position, which can ensure that there is no interference between the lifting columns in the same row; similarly, by controlling the Y-axis and Z-axis movement of the lifting column in the first row and third column of the array clamping system, the coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column is (0,2×D y ,0), and set this position as the initial position of the lifting column until the initial position coordinate value of the last column of the first row (N-1)×D y ,0).

[0029] Further, step 8 is specifically as follows: keep the laser tracker stationary, place the measuring fixture on the lifting column of the second row and the first column (number) in the array clamping system, and place the target seat on the measuring fixture, place the target on the target seat, measure the coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column, and ensure that the X-axis coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column is D by controlling the X-axis movement of the row where the lifting column is located. x ; where D x It represents the spacing between adjacent rows of lifting columns in each row of the array clamping system when they are in the initial position, which can ensure that there is no interference between rows of lifting columns in each row.

[0030] Further, step 9 is specifically as follows: keep the laser tracker stationary, place the measuring fixture on the first column (number) of the remaining rows (rows) in the array clamping system, and place the target seat on the measuring fixture, place the target on the target seat, measure the coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column, and ensure that the X-axis coordinate value of the target on the current lifting column is (M-1)×D by controlling the X-axis movement of the row where the lifting column is located. x .

[0031] Further, step 10 is specifically as follows: repeat the relevant operations of step 7, set the initial positions of the remaining lifting columns by controlling the Y-axis and Z-axis motions of the lifting columns and measuring the data with the laser tracker, and ensure that the X-direction spacing between two adjacent lifting columns is D when they are at their respective initial positions. x , the distance between them in the Y direction is D y ; Finally, each lifting column corresponds to the coordinate system O in its initial position j -The information of the coordinate values ​​in xyz is as follows:

[0032]

[0033] Further, step 11 is specifically as follows: the engraving tooling can be directly fitted on the lifting column, and its top and sides are cylindrical, and the top and side ends are circular planes; there is transparent glass for observation at the upper end of the observation tooling, and the transparent glass is engraved with a first "cross line", and the observation tooling can be fitted on the top and sides of the engraving tooling respectively.

[0034] Furthermore, step 12 is specifically as follows:

[0035] ① Place the marking tool on the lifting column in the first row and first column of the array clamping system, and apply paper tape on the top circular plane, and the paper tape cannot exceed the top circular plane;

[0036] ② Control the lifting column in the first row and first column of the array clamping system to move to its initial position, that is, in the coordinate system O j -The zero point position under xyz is (0,0,0), and the C-axis and B-axis of the engraving system are rotated to the position of 0°;

[0037] ③ Adjust the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the engraving system to make the laser nozzle close to the top circular plane of the engraving tooling, turn on the laser to move the X-axis to engrave on the top circular plane of the engraving tooling and form a line in the second "cross line", and record the Y coordinate value Y1 in the original coordinate system of the engraving system; turn on the laser to move the Y-axis to engrave on the top circular plane of the engraving tooling and form the second "cross line", and record the X coordinate value X1 in the original coordinate system of the engraving system;

[0038] ④ Cover the engraved line observation tool on the top circular plane of the engraved line tool, and rotate the observation tool along the Z axis to make one of the first "cross lines" on the transparent glass of the observation tool parallel to one of the second "cross lines" formed by the engraved line;

[0039] ⑤ Observe the tooling from above to see if the first "cross line" on the transparent glass and the second "cross line" formed by the engraved line are both overlapped. If they are overlapped, set the X / Y axis coordinate values ​​recorded in the original coordinate system of the engraved system when engraving as the coordinate system of the engraved system. k-xyz's XY zero coordinate; if they do not coincide, measure the spacing between the two lines in the X direction and the spacing between the two lines in the Y direction, and move the corresponding distances of the X axis and Y axis respectively, re-mark the lines so that the first "cross line" on the transparent glass coincides with the second "cross line" formed by the marking lines, and set the X-axis and Y-axis coordinate values ​​(X1, Y1) recorded in the original coordinate system of the engraving system when marking the lines as the engraving system coordinate system O k -xyz is the XY zero coordinate.

[0040] Furthermore, step 13 is specifically as follows:

[0041] ① Continue to place the marking tool on the lifting column of the first row and first column of the array clamping system, and ensure that the circular plane of its side end is parallel to the Y axis, and apply paper tape on the circular plane of its side end, and the paper tape cannot exceed the circular plane of the side end;

[0042] ② Control the lifting column in the first row and first column of the array clamping system to move to the coordinate system O j -xyz coordinate value (0,0,Z 0 ) position, Z 0 The Z-direction lifting distance of the lifting column is equal to the distance from the B-axis rotation axis of the engraving system to the engraved line point. The C-axis of the engraving system is rotated to the 0° position, and the B-axis is rotated to the 90° position;

[0043] ③ Adjust the XYZ axis of the engraving system to make the laser nozzle close to the side end circular plane of the engraving tooling, turn on the laser to move the Y axis to engrave on the side end circular plane of the engraving tooling to form a "straight line", and record the Z axis coordinate value Z1 in the original coordinate system of the engraving system;

[0044] ④ Move the Y axis to the Y axis zero coordinate, turn on the laser and move the Z axis up and down to carve a line on the side end circle plane of the marking tooling to form a "straight line". At this time, a "cross line" is formed on the paper tape;

[0045] ⑤ Cover the engraved line observation tool on the side end circular plane of the engraved line tool, and rotate the observation tool along the X-axis to make the vertical line of the first "cross line" on the transparent glass of the observation tool parallel to the vertical line of the second "cross line" formed by the engraved line;

[0046] ⑥ Observe the tooling from the side to see if the first "cross line" on the transparent glass coincides with the second "cross line" formed by the engraved line. If so, set the Z-axis coordinate value Z1 recorded in the original coordinate system of the engraved system when engraving as the engraved system coordinate system O. k-xyz Z-axis zero coordinate; if they do not coincide, measure the spacing between the two lines in the Z direction, move the corresponding distance of the Z axis, re-mark the line, so that the first "cross line" on the transparent glass coincides with the second "cross line" formed by the marking line, and set the Z-axis coordinate value Z1 recorded in the original coordinate system of the engraving system when marking the line as the engraving system coordinate system O k -xyz Z-axis zero coordinate. At this point, the spatial relationship between the array clamping system and the engraving system is established.

[0047] Further, step 14 is specifically as follows: when the post-processing software generates the execution program of the array clamping system and the engraving system, a coordinate system O-XYZ is established in the theoretical digital model according to the placement relationship between the skin and the array clamping system. At this time, the coordinate system is consistent with the coordinate system O of the array clamping system in the three-dimensional digital model. j -xyz coincides, so when generating the execution program of the array clamping system and the engraving system, the reference coordinate system of the program selects the established coordinate system O-XYZ. At this time, the execution programs of the array clamping system and the engraving system are all in this coordinate system, and the digital model of the part and the actual array clamping system and the engraving system are also connected in space. The post-processing software is the existing technology.

[0048] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0049] 1. The method provided by the present invention can quickly establish the spatial relationship between the array clamping system and the engraving system, so that the coordinate system in the real world can be accurately mapped to the theoretical digital model coordinate system. At the same time, when the post-processing software generates the execution program of the array clamping system and the engraving system, there is no need to convert the relevant data. The execution program can be directly sent to the array clamping system and the engraving system, which reduces the workload of process personnel and operators, improves the accuracy of skin engraving processing, avoids the situation of parts being scrapped due to out-of-tolerance, and saves processing costs.

[0050] 2. This method is simple, fast and easy to implement, does not require expensive instruments, and effectively reduces manpower and material costs.

[0051] 3. The present invention places a measuring tool on the lifting column of the array clamping system, and uses a laser tracker to determine the direction of the coordinate axis of the array clamping system through the axes of the engraving system. The lifting column at the first row and first column in the array clamping system is set as the zero point of the coordinate system of the array clamping system, so that the axis of the actual axis of the array clamping system can be accurately mapped to the virtual space, thereby quickly and accurately determining the coordinate system of the array clamping system.

[0052] 4. The present invention uses a laser tracker and an established coordinate system of the array clamping system to determine the initial position of each lifting column of the array clamping system at a certain interval, which is convenient for determining the initial position of each lifting column of the array clamping system in the theoretical numerical model of the post-processing software, and effectively avoids interference between lifting columns in the same row and interference between rows of lifting columns.

[0053] 5. The present invention places a marking tool on the lifting column of the array clamping system, marks the lines with paper tape on the marking tool, and observes the marking lines with an observation tool, thereby adjusting and determining the coordinate system of the marking system, so that the relationship between the marking system and the array clamping system in space can be established quickly and accurately.

[0054] 6. When the post-processing software of the present invention generates the execution program of the array clamping system and the engraving system, a coordinate system O-XYZ is established in the theoretical digital model according to the placement position relationship between the skin and the array clamping system. At this time, the coordinate system represents the coordinate system of the array clamping system. Therefore, when the execution program is generated, the reference coordinate system of the program selects the established coordinate system O-XYZ. At this time, the execution programs of the array clamping system and the engraving system are all in this coordinate system, and a connection is also established between the digital model of the part and the actual array clamping system and the engraving system, thereby solving the problem of cumbersome and error-prone operation when generating the execution program.
