Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D image data processing, and particularly to a method for machining the surface weight reduction of a special-shaped curved surface based on binocular structured light 3D measurement. Background Art
[0002] The rocket engine elbow pipe is a bent pipe that is shaped like the spout of a teapot, with one end small and the other end large. Its material is made of superhard alloy, and its hardness and density are significantly greater than those of steel, making the material processing difficult. Due to the requirements of flow guiding, the inner wall of the elbow pipe needs to be of high precision and have a smooth and flawless surface. Therefore, during manufacturing, a process of using a mold in cooperation with forging is adopted. Specifically, the calcined alloy plate is attached to the inner mold, and through forging, the alloy plate is gradually made to completely cover the inner mold. After demolding, a special-shaped semi-pipe is obtained. On the one hand, the forging process strengthens the structural strength of the semi-pipe, and on the other hand, under the action of the inner mold, the semi-pipe can obtain a precise inner wall curved surface morphology. The expected elbow pipe is divided into two semi-pipes, and the two semi-pipes are respectively processed according to the above process, and then the two semi-pipes are welded together to obtain the expected elbow pipe.
[0003] However, since forging cannot guarantee the morphology accuracy, compared with the designed outer surface of the elbow pipe, there is a finishing allowance left on the outer surface of the elbow pipe, and its morphology shows inconsistent thickness. Therefore, it is necessary to perform weight reduction machining, that is, finishing treatment, on the outer surface of the elbow pipe to make it approach the design expectation. In the prior art, a five-axis CNC machining center is usually used to directly perform cutting treatment on the outer surface of the elbow pipe, which is time-consuming and laborious. Usually, it takes 7 days to process a set of elbow pipes, and the processing cost is high. Since the elbow pipe is made of superhard alloy, the tool is particularly consumable. The tool loss cost for processing one elbow pipe usually reaches 20,000 yuan.
[0004] Based on the above background, using a double high-pressure water jet to replace the machining center will eliminate the high tool loss cost, improve the processing efficiency at the same time, and reduce the total processing cost. However, as a new means of weight reduction machining for elbow pipes, a supporting processing method needs to be developed to fully utilize the advantages of the double high-pressure water jet weight reduction machining.
[0005] Through binocular structured light 3D measurement, the morphology of the special-shaped curved surface of the outer surface of the elbow pipe can be accurately mapped. By combining the ICP algorithm to register the morphology data of the special-shaped curved surface with the design expectation, the machining allowance of each area on the special-shaped curved surface can be obtained. Taking this as a reference, in combination with the processing parameters of the double high-pressure water jet, and combining robot offline programming and simulation machining simulation, a new weight reduction machining process method can be obtained. Summary of the Invention

Based on the point cloud registration result, calculate the difference between the global point cloud data and the target point cloud data of the outer curved surface of the half pipe, that is, the thinning amount of the weight reduction machining of the half pipe;
[0010] Step S3: Perform double high-pressure water jet cutting operations on the two side surfaces of the current half pipe that are used to contact the other half pipe, and drive by a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm to obtain a welding groove;
