Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of composite material additive manufacturing, and in particular to a hybrid additive manufacturing method for a composite material porous sandwich structure. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, composite porous sandwich structures have gained wide attention in aerospace, vehicle transportation, and biomedicine due to their light weight, high specific strength, and excellent vibration isolation and energy absorption performance. By carefully designing the pore layout, such structures can not only optimize the amount of material used, but also significantly improve the overall stability and impact resistance. At the same time, the rapid development of additive manufacturing technology has made it possible to manufacture complex porous structures, thereby greatly broadening the design space and manufacturing accuracy, and providing solid technical support for the efficient realization of porous sandwich structures.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN110641083A discloses a foam-filled three-periodic minimal surface porous structure sandwich panel and a preparation method, in which a core composed of three-periodic minimal surface porous structure cells is placed between an upper panel and a lower panel; an outer panel is connected to an inner panel, and the inner panel is integrated with the core by printing and fusion.

[0004] A Chinese patent document with publication number CN115716364A discloses a lightweight impact-resistant composite material plate with a hedgehog-like microstructure, including: a porous structure core layer composed of transverse reinforcement ribs and longitudinal reinforcement ribs and an upper and lower panel structure, the porous structure core layer adopts a short fiber epoxy resin material, the upper and lower panels adopt a mixed fiber epoxy resin material with variable modulus and variable density, and the upper and lower panels adopt a fiber layup design, and the overall structure is prepared by 3D printing one-piece molding.

[0005] However, a single additive manufacturing process often cannot meet the requirements of both high efficiency and high-quality molding.

[0006] Multi-process hybrid additive manufacturing can give full play to the advantages of different processes and provide a new technical idea for the efficient molding of high-performance composite sandwich structures. However, in the hybrid additive manufacturing process, it is necessary not only to fully consider the coupling effect between the various processes, but also to meet the strict requirements of the mechanical properties of the sandwich structure.

[0007] Traditional topology optimization methods mainly start from the perspective of density distribution, ignoring the influence of the actual stress state of the structure and the need for local strengthening, and their optimization means are relatively rough. To achieve lightweight, meet functional requirements, and at the same time ensure the load-bearing capacity and reliability during the manufacturing process, it is necessary to achieve collaborative optimization among various levels of performance. More critically, the design of the porous sandwich structure not only needs to meet the requirements of structural conformability and stiffness at the macroscopic level, but also requires fine control of the material arrangement and pore geometry of the porous units at the microscale, comprehensively considering the mechanical coupling effects at multiple scales and the process constraints during the additive manufacturing process.

[0058] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and do not impose any limitations on it.

[0059] As Figure 1 shown, a composite material porous sandwich structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is composed of an upper panel 1, a core layer 2, and a lower panel 3, and can be prepared by an additive manufacturing process. Among them, the panel usually selects a composite material to take into account high strength and good fatigue resistance; and the porous structure of the core layer can be flexibly selected between a composite material and a pure thermoplastic resin according to application requirements. In addition, in order to further improve the lightweight and functionalization degree of the sandwich structure, the core layer is not limited to the traditional honeycomb structure in design, but can also adopt various new porous topologies such as a corrugated structure and a triply periodic minimal surface d. Through the additive manufacturing process, the pore shape and distribution of the porous structure can be flexibly designed to achieve performance optimization for mechanics, heat transfer, vibration reduction, etc. under different working conditions.

[0060] As Figure 2 shown, a hybrid additive manufacturing device adopted in an embodiment of the present invention is composed of a first additive manufacturing device 4, a second additive manufacturing device 5, and a base 6. Among them, the first additive manufacturing device 4 can form the core layer 2, and the second additive manufacturing device 5 can form the upper panel 1 and the lower panel 3. The first additive manufacturing device 4 is an automatic fiber placement device, and its heating methods include but are not limited to hot gas torch heating, infrared heating, and laser heating, etc. And the second additive manufacturing device 5 includes but is not limited to a pure resin fused deposition device, a short fiber reinforced resin fused deposition device, and a continuous fiber reinforced resin fused deposition device. In the hybrid additive manufacturing process, the manufacturing sequences of the first additive manufacturing device 4 and the second additive manufacturing device 5 are alternating, that is, the second additive manufacturing device 5 can first manufacture a part of the upper panel 1, then the first additive manufacturing device 4 manufactures a part of the core layer 2, and then the second additive manufacturing device 5 manufactures a part of the upper panel 1, etc., and the two additive manufacturing processes are alternated in turn.

[0061] The hybrid additive manufacturing method for a composite material porous sandwich structure is composed of a topology optimization method driven by mechanical properties, a hybrid additive manufacturing process optimization method, and a hybrid additive manufacturing intelligent planning method. Next, they will be introduced in turn.

[0062] As Figure 3 shown, a topology optimization method for a composite material porous sandwich structure driven by mechanical properties includes the following steps:

[0063] Step 101: Input the range of the design domain of the porous sandwich structure function sample: x 1,min ≤x 1 ≤x 1,max ,x 2,min ≤x 2 ≤x 2,max, x 3,min ≤ x 3 ≤ x 3,max , Optimization objectives: flexural strength, compressive strength, and porosity.

[0064] Step 102: Generate an initial sample point set using Latin hypercube sampling

[0065] Use the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method to uniformly generate an initial sample point set within the defined design space The LHS method can ensure coverage within the range of each design variable, thus ensuring that the initial samples can represent the entire design space, avoiding local biases, and improving the efficiency and reliability of subsequent optimization.

[0066] Step 103: Perform finite element analysis and computer-aided design calculations on the initial sample points to obtain the mechanical properties F and porosity p, and construct the data set D.

[0067] Perform finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design (CAD) calculations on the initial sample points to obtain the mechanical properties F (flexural strength, compressive / shear strength, etc.) and porosity p, and construct the data set D.

[0068] Step 104: Construct a Kriging surrogate model.

[0069] Based on the existing data set (D), use the Kriging interpolation method to construct a surrogate model for estimating the mechanical properties F and porosity p in the design space. The Kriging model can fit the response relationship between the mechanical properties and porosity through known data points. Train the Kriging model with the existing data set D to ensure that the model can accurately predict the performance outside the sample points.

[0070] Step 105: Define the multi-objective optimization function max F(x) = (f p (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ), f b (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) f s (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 )); Constraint conditions: x 1,min ≤ x 1 ≤ x 1,max , x 2,min ≤ x 2 ≤ x 2,max , x 3,min ≤ x3 ≤x 3,max ;

[0071] f p (x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ) represents the porosity, and f b (x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ) represents the flexural strength, and f s (x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ) represents the shear strength.

[0072] Step 106: Define the acquisition function.

[0073] The acquisition function selects the Expected Improvement (EI) method, which selects the next sample point by maximizing the potential improvement.

[0074] Step 107: Optimize the acquisition function to obtain the next sample point.

[0075] By optimizing the acquisition function, the next sample point is selected. The optimization goal is to further explore the design space by increasing uncertainty, thereby improving the sampling efficiency. Based on the optimization results of the acquisition function, a new sample point is selected and subsequent analysis is performed.

[0076] Step 108: Perform FEA and CAD calculations on the next sample point to update the dataset D and update the optimal multi-objective function value.

[0077] Step 109: Iteratively execute Steps 104, 105, 106, 107, and 108, and stop the iterative loop when the maximum number of iterations is reached or the improvement is less than the threshold.

[0078] Step 110: Output the optimized sample point set and the corresponding performance indicators (mechanical properties F 1,max , F 2,max and porosity p min .

[0079] As Figure 4 shown, a method for optimizing the hybrid additive manufacturing process of a composite material porous sandwich structure includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 201: Collect and input the equipment manufacturing capacity parameters, physical properties of the processing materials, and geometric dimensions and specifications of the topologically optimized porous sandwich structure to establish a basic dataset for hybrid manufacturing.

[0081] Step 202: Design a pre-experiment plan under different materials and working conditions based on the orthogonal experiment method to ensure that the experimental coverage is comprehensive and statistically significant.

[0082] Step 203: Collect, measure, and process the process parameter data of the additive manufacturing process:

[0083] Step 203-1: Use sensors and data acquisition systems to record the process parameters in the hybrid manufacturing process in real time, including key variable data such as temperature, pressure, and speed.

[0084] Step 203-2: Use precision measurement equipment to quantitatively measure the dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, mechanical properties, and other indicators of the processed porous sandwich structure.

[0085] Step 203-3: Remove outliers and filter noise from the collected raw data, and standardize the parameters with different dimensions to make the data suitable for subsequent modeling and analysis.

[0086] Step 204: Use a multi-objective optimization algorithm to construct a quantitative mapping relationship model between the process parameters and the processing quality of the topology-optimized porous sandwich structure, and reveal the influence mechanism of key parameters on the processing quality.

[0087] Step 205: Verify the accuracy of the established model through an independent test set, and optimize the process parameter combination based on the model prediction results to improve the processing quality.

[0088] Step 206: Design a reasonable database structure and implement parametric storage to ensure that the process parameters and processing quality data related to the topology-optimized porous sandwich structure can be quickly retrieved.

[0089] Step 207: Develop a demand-based intelligent query interface and parameter recommendation algorithm to provide optimized process parameter combination suggestions for different processing requirements.

[0090] Step 208: Integrate all the above work results to form a complete hybrid manufacturing process parameter optimization database, and provide a friendly user interface to realize the intelligent management of process parameters.

[0091] As Figure 5 shown, a hybrid additive manufacturing method for a composite material porous sandwich structure includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 301: Input workpiece specifications and requirements, load the process parameter library, analyze and match material characteristics, and set process constraint conditions and quality goals.

[0093] Step 302: Start the intelligent planning engine and multi-objective optimization algorithm, analyze the workpiece characteristics, and pre-plan the additive manufacturing layer and path strategy.

[0094] Step 303: Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Cycle:

[0095] Step 303-1: Additive Manufacturing Core Layer Construction;

[0096] Step 303-2: Intelligent Alternation Timing Calculation, calculate the optimal process switching point and subsequent processing strategy based on surface curvature and potential interference analysis;

[0097] Step 303-3: Switch to the skin mode, precisely control the surface quality parameters to ensure perfect combination of the skin and the core layer;

[0098] Step 303-4: Re-evaluate the workpiece status and parameter feedback, determine the optimal process window and start timing for the next stage;

[0099] Step 303-5: Continue to build the core layer with optimized parameters;

[0100] Step 303-6: Conduct intelligent deviation analysis and correction on the plan.

[0101] Step 304: Determine whether the workpiece machining is completed. If not, continue with Step 303; if completed, proceed to Step 305.

[0102] Step 305: Generate post-processing solutions and codes, encapsulate key process parameters and serialize execution instructions.

[0103] Step 306: Store the manufacturing data in the knowledge base and record the parameter optimization process.

[0104] Step 307: Integrate the optimization results and generate executable codes and process documents for hybrid additive manufacturing in standard format.

[0105] The above-described embodiments have elaborated on the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, supplements, and equivalent replacements made within the scope of the principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
