Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, and specifically provides a thermal straightening method for ship thin plate deformation based on digital twin. Background Technique
[0002] In the shipbuilding industry, ship types such as PCTC (pure car and truck carrier) and luxury cruise ships mostly use thin plates with a thickness of less than 10 mm. At present, CO2 shielded metal arc welding + submerged arc welding process is mostly used for welding thin plates, with a relatively large heat input. In addition, the thin plates have relatively poor anti-deformation ability, and uneven thermal stress during welding is likely to cause large deformation. In addition, during the subsequent overall assembly and hoisting process, operations such as hoisting and welding of sections will also cause secondary deformation of the thin plates. Therefore, shipyards often need to use thermal straightening and other methods to correct the deformation of thin plates. However, the current thermal straightening is highly dependent on manual labor, and the experience of workers largely determines the quality of deformation correction, and the situation of rework often exists on site.
[0003] The invention patent with the publication number of CN 112170546A discloses a thermal straightening method for a duplex stainless steel T-joint. This method uses a semi-automatic thermal straightening device to perform thermal straightening on a straight path, and maintains the thermal straightening temperature by means of temperature measurement and front-side cold water cooling. This invention can correct the flatness deformation of the back side of the duplex stainless steel T-joint within a certain range, but this method is mainly applicable to the duplex stainless steel T-joint and has certain limitations.
[0004] The invention patent with the publication number of CN103042075A discloses a thermal straightening method for the out-of-tolerance diameter of a cylindrical structure. This method uses a thermal process to cause deformation in the heated area, corrects the roundness of the cylindrical structure, and controls its correction amount to reduce the number of heating times, thereby achieving the purpose of shortening the cycle of the entire straightening work. However, this method is still mainly aimed at cylindrical structures and has certain reference significance in the shipbuilding industry. In actual engineering applications, there is still a lack of a general thermal straightening method for ship thin plate deformation.
[0005] In view of the above problems, a thermal straightening method for ship thin plate deformation based on digital twin is provided. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal straightening method for ship thin plate deformation based on digital twin to overcome the existing defects, achieving the purpose of scientifically correcting the deformation of thin plates and improving production efficiency.
[0007] The technical solution to achieve the above purpose is as follows:
[0008] A thermal straightening method for ship thin plate deformation based on digital twin, including:
[0009] Step S1: Obtain the data of the hull thin-plate segment through the data acquisition system, map the physical model on-site into the virtual world, and construct a digital twin model of the hull thin-plate segment;
[0010] Step S2: Extract the deformation nephogram of each segment, and analyze whether each thin-plate segment needs to be corrected through the deformation nephogram;
[0011] Step S3: If necessary, encapsulate the method for determining the temperature of thin-plate thermal straightening combining laser measurement and finite element simulation into a module and embed it into the digital twin model, and call this module to determine the temperature of thermal straightening;
[0012] Step S4: Calculate the actual temperature on the surface of the thin plate through the matching relationship model between the flame and the frontal water cooling flow rate;
[0013] Step S5: Adjust the frontal water cooling flow rate in real time according to the temperature of thermal straightening obtained by simulation, simulate the thermal straightening on the digital twin model based on the above data, and plan the overall process plan;
[0014] Step S6: Finally, perform thermal straightening on the thin-plate segment according to the formulated process plan during the actual production process to complete the thermal straightening task.
[0015] Preferably, in step S2, if correction is not required, the thermal straightening task is ended.
[0016] Preferably, in step S3, encapsulating the method for determining the temperature of thin-plate thermal straightening combining laser measurement and finite element simulation into a module and embedding it into the digital twin model, and calling this module to determine the temperature of thermal straightening includes:
[0017] Step S31: For the thin-plate segment, use a laser measurement device to scan the segment to be thermally straightened;
[0018] Step S32: Import the scanned data into the 3D measurement system to obtain the three-dimensional nephogram of the thin-plate segment, and analyze the deformation amount through software to generate the corresponding deformation nephogram;
[0019] Step S33: On this basis, establish a finite element model of the thin-plate segment, input the basic material property parameters, force boundary conditions, etc., and divide the model mesh;
[0020] Step S34: Use a subroutine to simulate the thermal straightening process and set the initial temperature function;
[0021] Step S35: Simulate the thermal straightening process through finite element simulation, obtain the plate shape after thermal straightening, and judge whether the accuracy requirement is met;
[0022] Step S36: If the requirements are met, obtain the optimal thermal straightening temperature function through multiple iterative calculations and save the result to the empirical database.
[0023] Preferably, in step S36, if the requirements are not met, adjust the temperature function, update the finite element simulation model, and repeat step S35 until the requirements are met.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention encapsulates the method for determining the thermal straightening temperature of thin plates based on laser measurement and finite element simulation into a module and embeds it into the digital twin model. By calling this module to determine the thermal straightening temperature and combining it with finite element simulation, the thermal straightening temperature can be reasonably predicted before thermal straightening, providing a scientific basis for thermal straightening and reducing the phenomenon of secondary rework caused by insufficient experience. By planning the thermal straightening process plan through the digital twin system, the purpose of precise leveling of thin plates in segments is achieved, improving the quality and efficiency of thermal leveling.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] The main technical problems to be solved currently are mainly due to the relatively poor bending strength of thin plates. During the processes of welding, hoisting, and overall assembly of thin plate segments, certain deformations will occur, which will reduce the geometric accuracy and structural strength of the ship's structure and lead to a decline in the structural fatigue performance. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt appropriate methods to correct the deformation of thin plates. However, the current mainstream thermal straightening mainly relies on the experience of operators, there is no scientific basis for the straightening amount, it is difficult to determine the straightening temperature, and the phenomenon of secondary rework often occurs, and the straightening efficiency is low. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade and improve the existing thermal straightening methods.

[0042] In the embodiment, if the requirement is not met, adjust the temperature function, update the finite element simulation model, and repeat Step S35 until the requirement is met.
[0043] Step S4: Calculate the actual temperature on the surface of the thin plate through the matching relationship model between the flame and the front water cooling flow rate.
[0044] Step S5: Adjust the front water cooling flow rate in real time according to the thermal straightening temperature obtained from the simulation, simulate the thermal straightening in the digital twin model based on the above data, and plan the overall process plan.
