Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent prediction of assembly processes, and in particular to a method for predicting deformation during the assembly process of a curved conformal antenna. Background Art

[0002] Curved conformal antennas, which conform to the surface of the carrier platform without disrupting the carrier's external structure and aerodynamic properties, are a research hotspot in the antenna field. They can effectively expand radar apertures, improve detection range, and extend detection range. However, due to their complex structure, curved conformal antennas are difficult to form using traditional manufacturing methods. Therefore, additive manufacturing methods are often used to separately process the multi-layer heterogeneous structure and then assemble it through processes such as gluing and riveting. However, additive manufacturing methods inherently suffer from low manufacturing stiffness and poor precision. Furthermore, the large number and small size of the antenna's electrical interconnect features make deformation during the assembly process a significant factor affecting assembly performance. Existing assembly processes are mostly manual, resulting in high labor costs and low efficiency. Furthermore, since the interlayer structures are invisible, the assembly process relies solely on manual experience and requires repeated attempts, making it difficult to ensure assembly accuracy and quality. Assembly quality often requires post-assembly testing, resulting in low yield and inefficiency.

[0003] Therefore, a method for predicting surface deformation in the assembly process is needed to achieve online control of the assembly process.

[0004] Chinese invention patent publication number CN109918755A proposes a method for predicting the assembly deformation of low-stiffness parts based on point cloud data. This method uses a 3D laser scanner to scan the low-stiffness part to obtain surface information point cloud data and perform point cloud preprocessing. The point cloud coordinates are transformed into a 3D coordinate system, and a 2D mesh is created using x and y plane coordinates. This results in a quadrilateral mesh composed of ordered representative points in the point cloud. This mesh is then input into finite element analysis software for constraint and displacement loading, resulting in the shape change of the low-stiffness part after assembly. This method may take into account actual manufacturing errors in the workpiece and rely solely on finite element simulation analysis for deformation prediction, but it fails to consider real-time control of the assembly process, resulting in low prediction efficiency.

[0005] Chinese invention patent publication number CN116108762A proposes a method for predicting the assembly deformation of large composite components using force sensors. This method uses force sensors and 3D laser scanning equipment to obtain external force and deformation data, and then uses a neural network to predict the deformation of the inner surface of the wall panel after the force is applied during the assembly process. This method uses finite element analysis to build a neural network prediction model to predict the actual state of the workpiece's shape, but does not consider the effects of initial deformation and the coupling of multi-parameter assembly processes.
