Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power crossbeam correction devices, in particular to a correction detection device for an automotive power crossbeam and its detection and correction method. Background Art

[0002] As a crucial component in the automotive chassis structure, the power crossbeam bears various complex stresses and loads during vehicle operation. Therefore, extremely strict requirements are imposed on its manufacturing precision and quality. However, due to the unique deep cavity and thin wall design features of the power crossbeam forgings, after undergoing forging and subsequent heat treatment processes, they often face a technical problem: the end faces of some forgings will exhibit a certain degree of torsional deformation.

[0003] The occurrence of this torsional phenomenon is mainly due to the plastic deformation of the material under high temperature and high pressure and the uneven thermal expansion and contraction during the heat treatment process, resulting in an imbalance in the internal stress distribution, which in turn causes torsional distortion in shape. Once the end face of the forging is distorted, serious problems will be encountered during the subsequent machining process, especially when machining threaded holes on the end face. Due to the distortion, the threaded holes that should be precisely located at the symmetric center of the part end face in the original design will be found to be significantly deviated in position after machining. This not only affects the assembly precision and functionality of the part but also directly causes the product to fail to meet the established quality standards and can ultimately only be treated as scrap, bringing unnecessary economic losses and resource waste to the enterprise. Summary of the Invention
