Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spinning, and particularly to a method and system for controlling the spinning and folding of a thin-walled cylinder with obliquely arranged cross ribs. Background Art

[0002] The thin-walled cylinder with obliquely arranged cross ribs is a component of a rocket fuel tank. At present, the processing route of mechanical milling - bending forming - welding assembly is often used in engineering. However, this process has disadvantages such as long processing cycle, difficult welding and assembly, and low material utilization rate. Flow spinning is a local plastic forming technology and has potential application prospects in the integrated forming of thin-walled cylinders with cross internal ribs. However, due to the complex structure and uneven material flow, folding defects are likely to occur at the cross position of the internal ribs, as Figure 1 shown. This kind of defect destroys the continuity of the metal, reduces the bearing capacity of the part. At the same time, it is also a notch on the workpiece, causing stress concentration during use and becoming a fatigue source, which may lead to fatigue fracture of the component here.

[0003] Due to the requirement of a full and plump rib body, it is necessary to ensure sufficient downward pressure or thinning rate. A larger thinning rate leads to more intense material flow and exacerbates folding. Other common process parameter adjustments, such as feed rate, spinning wheel attack angle, spinning wheel fillet, etc., have no effect on this defect. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a control method to improve the quality of the spinning forming of thin-walled cylinders with obliquely arranged cross ribs. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0049] During the process of spinning the inclined cross - rib cylinder, the material will have intense circumferential and axial flow. The reason for the folding at the intersection of the ribs is that excessive axial flow causes poor die - fitting of the material with the upstream of the rib groove, and excessive circumferential flow causes the subsequent supplementary material in the die - fitting - poor area to be not the radial inflow of the wall plate, but to be circumferentially extruded in the rib groove, forming folding.

[0050] By adding process supplement, increasing the size of the rib groove at the easily folded position, and increasing the filling requirement of the material at this position, excessive axial flow of the material and circumferential flow in the rib groove can be controlled, and folding can be avoided to a certain extent. If there is still folding in the process supplement area or the weight of the workpiece exceeds the design index value, it can also be selected to remove the process supplement by a small amount of machining without affecting the original structure.

[0051] A method for controlling the spinning and folding of an inclined cross - rib cylinder includes:

[0052] Step S1: Design process supplement at the intersection of the ribs;

[0053] The process supplement only adds one corner at the intersection position, axially located in the opposite direction of the roller movement, and circumferentially located on the side that is filled first. The length of the process supplement is more than 0.5 times the maximum value of the circumferential width and axial width of the rib intersection area. The weight of the cylinder after adding the process supplement should not exceed 3% of the weight of the original cylinder.

[0054] Step S2: Establish a finite element simulation model to evaluate the deformation strength of the cross-rib cylinder after adding the process supplement;

[0055] Specifically, select a unit containing the rib intersection and import it into the finite element model.

[0056] Establish a material model for the spun cylinder, which includes density, yield strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio.

[0057] Establish a static analysis step with a process time of 1 s.

[0058] Apply axial constraints at the bottom of the unit, circumferential constraints on both sides, and working condition loads at the top.

[0059] The finite element model needs to be locally divided at the rib position. Among them, there should be at least 10 meshes at the top of the rib, more than 6 meshes at the rib fillet, and the mesh size in the panel area should be at least 1 mm.

[0060] Submit the model for calculation to obtain the deformation result.

[0061] The stress of the cylinder after adding the process supplement under the required load conditions should be less than the stress of the original cylinder under the same load conditions.

[0062] Step S3: Develop a spinning process plan.

[0063] A single roller causes eccentric loading on the mandrel, and the common spinning machines have at most 4 rollers. Therefore, the number of rollers is selected from 2 to 4.

[0064] Step S4: Determine whether the process supplement area needs to be removed by machining according to the machining result of the workpiece or the design index of the workpiece weight.

[0065] When folding occurs in the process supplement area, remove the process supplement by machining.

[0066] When folding does not occur in the process supplement area, but the weight of the cylinder exceeds the design index requirements, remove the process supplement area by machining according to the drawing dimensions.

[0067] The method for controlling the spinning folding of the obliquely arranged cross-rib cylinder provided by the present invention can effectively avoid the generation and influence of rib folding, greatly improve the quality of the produced parts, and is simple to operate and easy to implement, with good practicability.

[0068] The above is the basic embodiment of the present invention. The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through a preferred embodiment.

[0069] Embodiment 1

[0070] Referring to Figure 6 as shown, a method for controlling the spinning and folding of an inclined cross-reinforced cylinder is as follows:

[0071] Step S1: Based on the relative motion of the inclined cross-reinforcement design and the predetermined spinning wheel, as Figure 2 shown, a process supplement is added below the rib body. The process supplement is a triangular area, and the bottom boundary of the triangular area is horizontally designed, as Figure 3 shown.

[0072] If the circumferential width Wc of the cross region is equal to the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular region = 1 * Wc;

[0073] If the circumferential width Wc of the cross region is greater than the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular region = 1 * Wc;

[0074] If the circumferential width Wc of the cross region is less than the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular region = 1 * Wa.

[0075] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the inclined cross-reinforced cylinder are: outer diameter 400 mm, wall thickness 6 mm, and cylinder length 400 mm. The dimensions of the rib body are: rib height 4 mm, rib width 4 mm, and draft angle 10°. The weight increases by 0.8% after adding the process supplement.

[0076] Step S2: Establish a finite element simulation model of a rib body unit, apply working conditions loads, and compare the changes in stress levels, as Figure 4 shown. Compared with the original cylinder, the stress of the cylinder after adding the process supplement is reduced.

[0077] Step S3: Adopt a 3-spinning-wheel spinning process, and the movement trajectory of the spinning wheel is consistent with the trajectory shown in Figure 2 . The dimensions of the cylinder blank are: inner diameter 394 mm, wall thickness 12 mm, and the pressing-down amount is 5 mm. The feeding speed of the spinning wheel is 1 mm / r, and the rotational speed of the mandrel is 50 r / min.

[0078] Step S4: The result of the workpiece is as Figure 5 shown, and there is no folding problem in the process supplement. In this embodiment, the increased weight of the process supplement is relatively small, and the process supplement can improve the problem of stress concentration, so the process supplement is retained.

[0079] The results of the embodiment show that the design of adding a process supplement at the intersection of the ribs proposed by the present invention can effectively control the spinning and folding of the inclined cross-reinforced cylinder, which has important significance for the manufacturing and process design of the spinning technology in the inclined cross-reinforced cylinder.

[0092] According to the circumferential width and axial width of the cross area, set the length of the triangular area:

[0093] If the circumferential width Wc of the cross area is equal to the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular area = 1 * Wc;

[0094] If the circumferential width Wc of the cross area is greater than the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular area = 1 * Wc;

[0095] When the circumferential width Wc of the cross - over region is less than the axial width Wa, the length L of the triangular region is L = 1 * Wa.

[0096] The weight of the cross - ribbed cylinder with the added process supplementary region does not exceed 3% of the weight of the original cross - ribbed cylinder.

[0097] The finite - element model is locally divided at the rib position so that the rib fillet contains more than 6 meshes; the stress of the cross - ribbed cylinder with the added process supplementary region under the required load - bearing conditions is less than the stress of the original cross - ribbed cylinder under the same load - bearing conditions.
