Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D image data processing, and in particular to a method for weight reduction processing of a special-shaped curved surface based on binocular structured light 3D measurement. Background Art

[0002] The rocket engine elbow is a bent pipe that is shaped like a teapot spout, with one end small and the other end large. It is made of super-hard alloy, which has significantly greater hardness and density than steel, and is difficult to process. Due to the requirements of flow diversion, the inner wall of the elbow needs to be high-precision, smooth and flawless. Therefore, during manufacturing, a mold-forging process is used. Specifically, the calcined alloy plate is attached to the inner mold, and the alloy plate is gradually completely covered with the inner mold through forging. After demolding, a special-shaped half-tube is obtained. On the one hand, the forging process strengthens the structural strength of the half-tube, and on the other hand, the inner mold can make the half-tube obtain a precise inner wall curved surface morphology. The expected elbow is divided into two half-tubes, and the two half-tubes are processed according to the above process respectively, and then the two half-tubes are welded together to obtain the expected elbow.

[0003] However, since forging cannot guarantee the shape accuracy, the outer surface of the elbow has a finishing allowance compared with the outer surface expected by the design, and its shape is inconsistent in thickness. Therefore, it is necessary to perform weight reduction processing on the outer surface of the elbow, that is, finishing processing, to make it close to the design expectation. The existing technology usually uses a five-axis CNC machining center to directly cut the outer surface of the elbow, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It usually takes 7 days to complete a set of elbows, and the processing cost is high. Since the elbow is made of super-hard alloy, it is particularly time-consuming to use tools. The tool loss cost of processing a elbow can usually reach 20,000 yuan.

[0004] Based on the above background, the use of dual high-pressure water jets to replace machining centers will avoid high tool wear costs, while improving machining efficiency and reducing total machining costs. However, as a new method of weight reduction processing for pipe bending, supporting processing methods need to be developed to give full play to the advantages of dual high-pressure water jet weight reduction processing.

[0005] Through binocular structured light 3D measurement, the morphology of the special-shaped surface on the outer surface of the bent pipe can be accurately mapped. The morphology data of the special-shaped surface can be aligned with the design expectations by combining the ICP algorithm, and the processing allowance of each area on the special-shaped surface can be obtained. This can be used as a reference, combined with the processing parameters of the dual high-pressure water jet, combined with robot offline programming and simulation processing simulation, to obtain a new weight reduction processing method. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for weight reduction processing of rocket engine bent pipe special-shaped surfaces based on binocular structured light 3D measurement, combined with ICP registration algorithm, and applied dual high-pressure water jet processing.

[0016] Furthermore, the solid-liquid ratio of the abrasive particles to the high-pressure water is in the range of 1:0.5 to 1:10.
