[0002] With the increasing demand for lightweight and safety in the fields of aviation, aerospace, transportation, etc., thin-walled complex hollow rotating parts made of high-strength and difficult-to-deform materials have been increasingly used.
[0003] Spinning is a typical point-loaded plastic local plastic forming process with the characteristics of low forming force, simple forming tools and high material utilization. It is one of the advantageous technologies for manufacturing the above-mentioned thin-walled complex hollow rotating body parts. However, this type of component has a large deformation resistance during spin forming, and forming defects are very likely to occur, which greatly increases the manufacturing difficulty.
[0004] In recent years, researchers have proposed that electric current can be passed through the spinning process to use the electroplastic effect of metal materials to assist in the manufacture of parts, which is called electric-assisted spinning.

On the one hand, it is very easy to produce electric spark discharge, ablate the surface of the component and the spinning wheel profile, and reduce the forming accuracy of the component; on the other hand, it has a large contact resistance. According to Ohm's law, the current will be concentrated in this area, making the current density and temperature distribution on the blank uneven, thereby aggravating the uneven deformation of spinning and making the workpiece very easy to crack.

[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, an electric-assisted spinning forming device includes:
[0036] A clamping assembly is arranged on a machine tool and is used to clamp a metal blank 18. The clamping assembly includes a core mold adapter plate 1 connected to the machine tool spindle bolt / nut, a core mold insulating pad 2 is fixed on the core mold adapter plate 1, a core mold 3 penetrating the core mold insulating pad 2 is installed on the core mold adapter plate 1, the core mold 3 and the tail top 13 jointly clamp the metal blank 18, the tail top 13 is screwed to the machine tool tailstock, and a tail top insulating pad 14 is fixed between the tail top 13 and the machine tool tailstock.
[0037] In detail, when processing the metal blank 18, it is necessary to fix the metal blank 18 between the core mold 3 and the tail top 13 through the tail stock of the machine tool. Therefore, the metal blank 18 can be placed between the tail top 13 and the core mold 3, and the tail top 13 can be controlled to move toward the core mold 3 through the tail stock of the machine tool. When the two sides of the metal blank 18 are respectively in contact with the core mold 3 and the tail top 13, the metal blank 18 is fixed. At this time, the core mold 3 can be controlled to rotate through the machine tool spindle to drive the metal blank 18 and the tail top 13 to rotate. The tail stock can be pushed by a hydraulic cylinder, or its position can be adjusted by a screw rod, which is not limited in this application.
[0038] A workpiece forming assembly is arranged on the machine tool and is used for performing spinning plastic processing on the metal blank 18. The workpiece forming assembly includes a rotating wheel frame 11 and a 90-degree tool rod 16 which are screwed to the machine tool slide. A supporting insulating pad 10 and an insulating sleeve 17 are respectively fixed between the machine tool slide and the rotating wheel frame 11 and the 90-degree tool rod 16. A rotating wheel 12 is rotatably mounted on the rotating wheel frame 11. The rotating wheel 12 is in close contact with the metal blank 18 and moves according to a set trajectory to form the metal blank 18.
[0039] It should be noted that the 90-degree tool rod 16 is used to carry the current application mechanism. When the metal blank 18 needs to be processed, the position of the rotary wheel frame 11 and the 90-degree tool rod 16 can be adjusted through the machine tool slide to make the current application mechanism and the rotary wheel 12 move to the required position. Among them, the core mold insulating pad 2, the supporting insulating pad 10, the tail top insulating pad 14, and the insulating sleeve 17 are made of POM plastic, which are used to isolate the current on the spinning tooling mold to prevent damage to the machine tool.
[0040] A current application mechanism is arranged on the workpiece forming component and is in close contact with the metal blank 18. The workpiece forming component can drive the current application mechanism to move synchronously to perform electrical heating treatment on the metal blank 18. The current application mechanism includes a first conductive head mechanism connecting plate 9 respectively fixedly mounted on the rotating wheel frame 11, and a second conductive head mechanism connecting plate 15 is fixed on the 90-degree tool rod 16. The first conductive head mechanism connecting plate 9 and the second conductive head mechanism connecting plate 15 are provided with a guide component, wherein the guide component includes a longitudinal guide rail 4 respectively fixedly mounted on the first conductive head mechanism connecting plate 9 and the second conductive head mechanism connecting plate 15, a longitudinal slider 5 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal guide rail 4, and a guiding structure is provided on the longitudinal slider 5. The above-mentioned guiding structure includes a transverse and longitudinal guide rail adapter plate 7 fixedly mounted on the longitudinal slider 5, a transverse guide rail 6 is fixed on the transverse and longitudinal guide rail adapter plate 7, a transverse slider 8 is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rail 6, and a conductive head mechanism 19 is fixed on the transverse slider 8.
[0041] Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the conductive head mechanism 19, the longitudinal slider 5 can be moved at this time to adjust the distance between the conductive head mechanism 19 and the metal blank 18 through the transverse guide rail 6 and the transverse slider 8. When the longitudinal position adjustment of the conductive head mechanism 19 is completed, the transverse slider 8 can be controlled to slide along the transverse guide rail 6 to adjust the distance between the conductive head mechanism 19 and the rotation center of the metal blank 18, so that the conductive head mechanism 19 on the tail top 13 side and the rotating wheel 12 are symmetrically arranged about the tail top 13, and the conductive head mechanism 19 on the core mold 3 side is located behind the rotating wheel 12.
[0042] The conductive head mechanism 19 includes a fixing portion 197 fixedly connected to the transverse slider 8, a sliding rod 196 is slidably installed in the fixing portion 197, a compression spring 198 is sleeved in the sliding rod 196, and a tightening screw 199 abutting against the compression spring 198 is movably installed in the fixing portion 197, wherein the conductive head mechanism 19 also includes an adapter portion 195 threadedly installed on the sliding rod 196, the adapter portion 195 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 192, a cooling water baffle 193 is fixed in the connecting portion 192, the connecting portion 192 is threadedly connected to the end portion 191, an annular retaining ring 194 is fixed to the outer wall of the adapter portion 195 and the connecting portion 192, and the annular retaining ring 194 is composed of two identical parts, one end of which is clamped by two sets of bolts and nuts, and the other end is connected to the positive / negative poles of the pulse power supply.
[0043] Furthermore, when the position adjustment of the conductive head mechanism 19 is completed, the screwing depth of the tightening screw 199 can be adjusted so that the end 191 of the conductive head mechanism 19 can be in close contact with the metal blank 18 under the pressure of the compression spring 198. At this time, circulating cooling water can be introduced into the connecting portion 192. Under the action of the cooling water baffle 193, the circulation speed of the cooling water is increased to enhance the cooling effect of the conductive head mechanism 19. In order to further increase the conductivity of the contact area, the spherical end 191 is made of tungsten-copper alloy; between the end 191 and the blank 18, the spherical end 191 is made of tungsten-copper alloy. 8 is lubricated with high-temperature resistant copper-based grease, which can also increase the conductivity of the contact area; on the basis of the above measures, a wire is used to connect the pulse power supply and the conductive head mechanism 19; at this time, the machine tool spindle controls the core mold 3, the tail top 13, and the metal blank 18 to rotate, and controls the conductive head mechanism 19 on the tail top 13 side and the core mold 3 side to reciprocate along the radial direction of the metal blank 18, so that the overall temperature of the metal blank 18 reaches the spinnable range, reducing the temperature gradient of each part. At this time, the rotating wheel 12 moves according to the set trajectory to perform spinning plastic processing on the metal blank 18.
[0044] Preferably, under the action of the conductive head mechanism 19, by utilizing the electroplastic effect generated by the electric current, the dislocation movement and the organizational evolution can be accelerated, thereby reducing the material deformation resistance and improving the quality of the component spinning. At the same time, the use of tungsten-copper alloy to make the end of the conductive head mechanism, the use of compression springs to make the end in close contact with the metal blank, the use of grease to increase the conductivity of the contact area, and the use of circulating cooling water to reduce the temperature of the contact area can effectively suppress the electric spark discharge in the contact area between the conductive head mechanism 19 and the metal blank 18. On the one hand, the surface roughness of the formed component is improved and the spinning accuracy is improved; on the other hand, the loss of the surface of the rotating wheel 12 is avoided, the service life of the rotating wheel 12 is extended, and the processing cost is reduced. By reciprocating the conductive head mechanism 19 in the radial direction of the metal blank 18 at the front of the spinning forming, the overall temperature of the metal blank 18 can be increased, and the temperature gradient of each part can be significantly reduced. The increase in the uniformity of the overall temperature of the metal blank 18 helps to reduce the degree of uneven deformation during spinning and suppress the occurrence of workpiece rupture.
