Description

Technical Field

[0002] Thin-walled parts are widely used in the aerospace, precision manufacturing, and automotive industries. Due to their thin walls and poor rigidity, they are easily deformed during machining due to cutting forces and heat, affecting the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of thin-walled parts. This is especially true for raw materials such as forgings, pipes, and bars, which often have internal structural inhomogeneities such as forging streamlines, residual stresses, carbide segregation, and cold work hardening. These inhomogeneities can lead to fluctuating cutting forces, abnormal tool wear, and thermal deformation of the workpiece, thus affecting the final machining quality of thin-walled parts.

[0003] Existing machining methods typically reduce deformation by lowering cutting parameters or increasing workpiece support, but this approach can reduce machining efficiency and cannot adapt to changes in material structure in real time. Some intelligent machining systems incorporate force sensing or temperature monitoring technology for adjustment, but lack accurate feedback on material property fluctuations, making it difficult to optimize machining in localized areas.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 , a method for processing thin-walled parts, comprising the following steps:

[0071] Step 1: Before finishing the thin-walled part, the part blank is cut multiple times with the same cutting parameters and cutting trajectory to obtain a feed current curve for each cutting process, wherein the feed current curve is a curve showing the feed current of the tool feed motor changing with the cutting trajectory;

[0072] In addition, before obtaining the feed current curve of the tool feed motor during each cutting process, it is determined whether the feed current of the tool feed motor has a no-load current when continuous cutting is performed under the current cutting parameters and the current cutting trajectory;

[0073] If so, the curve data recorded in the current cutting track is cleared, and the feed current of the next cutting track is judged to determine whether there is no-load current.

[0074] If not, the feed current curve corresponding to the current cutting trajectory is marked as the initial record curve of multiple cutting processes.

[0075] In addition, before obtaining the feed current curve of the tool feed motor during each cutting process, a trial cutting rate curve of the part blank is configured according to the cutting force change characterized by the material abnormality of the part blank. The trial cutting rate curve is a curve showing the feed rate of the tool feed motor changing with the trial cutting trajectory.

[0076] According to the heat impact threshold of the qualified section of the part blank during thin-wall machining and the heat impact results of different cutting parameters, the test cutting parameters of the qualified section are obtained, wherein the test cutting parameters include the test cutting speed and the test cutting depth;

[0077] Perform a test cutting task on the qualified section according to the test cutting rate curve and test cutting parameters to obtain the test cutting current data fed back by the tool feed motor;

[0078] The cutting parameters of multiple cutting processes are obtained based on the trial cutting current data and the minimum fluctuating current characterized by the part blank when the material is abnormal.

[0079] Step 2: Based on the changing characteristics of multiple feed current curves in the same trajectory interval, determine whether there is an abnormal area on the cutting trajectory of the part blank, specifically:

[0080] The multiple feed current curves are divided into multiple trajectory intervals according to the fluctuation characteristics presented by them;

[0081] According to the slopes of the curves of the same monotonic features of the multiple feed current curves in the same trajectory interval, the similarity between the multiple curve segments in the same trajectory interval is obtained;

[0082] When the similarity between multiple curve segments in the same trajectory interval is greater than a preset value, the area where the part blank is located in the corresponding trajectory interval is determined to be an abnormal area.

[0083] Step 3: When an abnormal area exists in the part blank, a target feed curve for the thin-walled part is generated based on at least one feed current curve, wherein the target feed curve is a curve showing the feed rate of the tool feed motor changing with the cutting trajectory, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0084] Determine the abnormality type of the abnormal area according to the change characteristics represented by the multiple feed current curves of the abnormal area, wherein the abnormality type includes hardness distribution difference and residual stress distribution difference;

[0085] According to the abnormality type, a corresponding number of feed current curves are selected to generate the target feed curve for thin-walled parts, specifically:

[0086] When the abnormality type is a hardness distribution difference, generating a target feed curve based on the hardness variation of the abnormal region represented by the feed current curves that are less than the first number;

[0087] When the abnormality type is residual stress distribution difference, determining the cutting fluctuation amplitude and cutting fluctuation frequency of the abnormal area based on the feed current curve greater than the second number;

[0088] A target feed curve is generated according to the cutting fluctuation amplitude and cutting fluctuation frequency so that the cutting force fluctuation of the remaining material is less than a preset value.

[0089] Among them, the abnormal type of the abnormal area is determined according to the change characteristics represented by multiple feed current curves of the abnormal area, specifically:

[0090] According to the curve segment change characteristics corresponding to the abnormal area of ​​multiple feed current curves, the fluctuation frequency and maximum fluctuation mean of each curve segment are obtained, wherein the maximum fluctuation mean is the average value of all maximum peak currents on the curve segment;

[0091] When the fluctuation frequency is less than the first threshold and the maximum fluctuation mean is greater than the second threshold, determining that the abnormal type of the abnormal area is a hardness distribution difference;

[0092] When the fluctuation frequency is greater than or equal to the first threshold and the maximum fluctuation mean is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that the abnormal type of the abnormal area is residual stress distribution difference.

[0093] Step 4: Cut the remaining material of the thin-walled part according to the target feed curve until the processing task of the thin-walled part is completed. This process is specifically achieved through the PID compensation mechanism:

[0094] When the tool enters the abnormal area, dynamic compensation is performed based on the deviation value ΔI between the real-time collected feed current data and the target feed curve. The compensation amount is calculated by the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] in, 、 、 They are proportional, integral and differential coefficients respectively, and their values ​​are determined by the material removal rate Q and cutting stiffness. Sure:

[0097]

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] Where α, β, and γ are material characteristic coefficients, and the feed rate after dynamic adjustment is .

[0101] ,in Preset the target feed curve and satisfy the constraints .

[0102] In addition, when cutting the remaining material of thin-walled parts according to the target feed curve, a progressive adjustment strategy is also included:

[0103] A transition processing zone is established at the boundary of the abnormal area, and its width L is determined by the residual stress gradient ▽σ and the material elastic modulus E: ;

[0104] In the transition zone, progressive cutting parameter adjustment is adopted, and the feed rate changes follow: ;

[0105] Where x is the distance from the boundary of the abnormal area, k is the attenuation coefficient and k=3 / L, is the feed rate in the normal area, Optimized feed rate for abnormal areas;

[0106] At the same time, axial compensation is introduced , where μ is the compensation coefficient, is the maximum current deviation in the current cutting cycle, t is the cutting time, and the compensation direction is opposite to the cutting force direction.

[0107] Reference Figure 2 , showing the fluctuation characteristics of the three feed current curves l1, l2, and l3 in the same trajectory range. The abnormal area (35-40mm trajectory range) is as follows:

[0108] The curve slope similarity is greater than 0.85 (calculated by the DTW algorithm);

[0109] Abnormal hardness area: low frequency and high amplitude fluctuation (0-50Hz, I_peak>4.2A);

[0110] Residual stress zone: high frequency and low amplitude fluctuation (50-200Hz, I_peak≤3.8A).

[0111] In one specific embodiment, a method for intelligent processing of thin-walled parts includes the following steps:

[0112] Step 1: Perform three pre-cuts before finishing, using the same cutting parameters (cutting speed 120 m / min, feed rate 0.1 mm / r, depth of cut 0.2 mm). Use a current sensor mounted on the feed axis servo motor to record three feed current curves, l1, l2, and l3, at a sampling frequency of 10 kHz.

[0113] Step 2: Calculate the curve similarity using the dynamic time warping algorithm:

[0114] DTW is the dynamic time warping distance. When the similarity S of adjacent trajectory intervals is greater than 0.85, it is determined to be an abnormal area.

[0115] Step 3: Analyze the material characteristics of the abnormal area:

[0116] Calculate the fluctuation energy spectral density:

[0117] When the main energy is concentrated in 0-50Hz and the peak current I_peak>4.2A, it is judged as hardness abnormality (HB difference ≥30); when the energy is distributed in 50-200Hz and I_peak≤3.8A, it is judged as residual stress abnormality (stress difference ≥150MPa).

[0118] Step 4: Establish an adaptive processing model:

[0119] a. Use variable feed rate control for hardness abnormal areas:

[0120] Where h is the real-time cutting thickness, h c =0.18mm is the critical value, and Δh=0.02mm is the transition bandwidth.

[0121] b. Introducing phase compensation into the residual stress area:

[0122] Assume that the cutting force fluctuation is , by adjusting the feed phase angle Δφ:

[0123] Experimental results show that the optimal Δφ=π / 3 can reduce the vibration amplitude by 42%.

[0124] Step 5: Perform compensation processing:

[0125] The transition processing zone is activated at X=35.2mm, and a progressive adjustment strategy is adopted. When the real-time current deviation ΔI>15% is detected, the PID compensation mechanism is triggered. Finally, the part wall thickness tolerance is controlled within ±0.015mm, and the surface roughness Ra is <0.8μm.
