[0002] With the continuous development of new energy vehicle technology, aluminum alloy bodies have become a key material for new energy vehicle bodies due to their advantages such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high strength. However, the unique properties of aluminum alloys, such as the high temperatures and large thermal expansion generated during processing, make it difficult to control the machining precision of body structural parts. Furthermore, body structural parts often have complex geometries, such as curved surfaces and uneven areas, making traditional machining methods difficult to achieve efficient and precise processing. To improve production efficiency and processing quality, there is an urgent need for an intelligent and efficient aluminum alloy body structural part processing system.

[0003] At present, the processing of aluminum alloy body structural parts mainly relies on traditional machining technology. Although these methods can achieve basic processing requirements in some cases, there are still many shortcomings. For example, it is difficult to adjust the processing path in real time during traditional machining, and there is a lack of effective compensation for dynamic errors in the cutting process, which easily leads to processing errors. What is more serious is that traditional methods have poor adaptability to factors such as thermal deformation, tool wear and material expansion during the processing process, which often leads to unstable processing accuracy. In addition, the existing technology has a lot of room for improvement in surface treatment, cleaning and quality inspection, especially in the application of multi-axis processing and efficient cooling technology. Therefore, it is difficult for existing technologies to meet the needs of modern intelligent new energy vehicle manufacturing for high-precision and high-efficiency processing of aluminum alloy body structural parts.

[0075] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0076] Example 1, refer to Figure 1 , an efficient machining system for aluminum alloy body structural parts of intelligent new energy vehicles, including:

[0077] Process design module: used to obtain the structural characteristics of the body structure to be processed and automatically generate the processing plan based on the structural characteristics of the body structure;

[0084] Post-processing inspection module: used to perform surface cleaning on the processed body structural parts and automatically detect whether all processed body structural parts meet the processing standards;

[0085] Record and archive all data of the completed body structure parts during the entire processing process.

[0086] By introducing intelligent technologies, the efficiency, precision, and quality of aluminum alloy body structural parts processing have been significantly improved. Cutting path optimization and dynamic cooling strategies improve processing efficiency and extend tool life; error compensation mechanisms and zoned grinding strategies ensure processing accuracy and surface quality; and surface purge and quality inspection ensure comprehensive assurance of finished products. Intelligent management throughout the entire process reduces manual intervention and error rates, establishing an efficient and controllable closed-loop processing system, providing strong support for the high-quality and efficient manufacturing of new energy vehicle parts.

[0087] This embodiment provides an intelligent aluminum alloy vehicle body structural component machining system, which automatically optimizes the cutting path by acquiring a three-dimensional model of the vehicle body structural component and analyzing the structural features.

[0088] First, a 3D model of the vehicle body structure is acquired using 3D scanning technology. Assume the dimensions of the structure are 1.8 meters (length) x 1.2 meters (width) x 0.5 meters (height). The structure consists of multiple flat areas, curved areas, and uneven areas. Based on the geometric characteristics of the structure, the system divides the structure into regions and determines the processing requirements for each area, with a particular focus on analyzing complex curved surfaces and uneven areas.

[0089] The system calls up a pre-set process knowledge base, which stores standard machining processes for various structural features. For example, if the geometric features of a body component are of medium complexity, the system will match the corresponding standard machining process based on this structural feature, such as using a medium cutting depth (h = 2mm), a moderate feed rate (V1 = 150mm / min), and a cutting speed (V0 = 200m / min).

[0090] The cutting path is divided into several discrete points, and the cutting path contains 100 discrete points. Set the starting point and end point of the cutting path to P1 and P 100 , the path length L is calculated to be 500 mm;

[0091] The path is calculated and optimized to minimize the total cost function. Through optimization, the final path will result in a total processing time of 60 minutes and an error of 0.03mm.

[0092] By combining 3D modeling with a process knowledge base, the cutting path for body structural parts was optimized. The calculated path was effectively combined with process parameters to improve machining accuracy and efficiency, avoid manual intervention, and minimize machining errors.

[0093] When machining vehicle body components, the system automatically adjusts the cutting angle between the tool and the part based on the tool type and the characteristics of the material being cut. Assuming a cylindrical carbide tool, the system sets the initial rake angle to 10°, the lead angle to 5°, and the clearance angle to 5°. Sensors monitor cutting parameters in real time, with a cutting depth of h = 1.5 mm and a feed rate of 100 mm / min. Based on this data, the tool angle is adjusted to eject chips from the machining area.

[0094] The system also automatically identifies the clamping status of the body structure in the fixture and monitors the fixture's position in real time. If a clamping error is detected, the fixture automatically adjusts the clamping force. The initial clamping force is set at 800N. If an error of 0.1mm is detected, the system automatically adjusts the clamping force to 850N to ensure the stability of the body structure.

[0095] During the cutting process, the system continuously adjusts the tool angle based on real-time data. Given that the aluminum alloy material used for body structural parts is sensitive to cutting angles, the system dynamically adjusts the rake angle, lead angle, and clearance angle to eject chips from the machining area at the optimal angle, minimizing interference with the machining area and improving machining accuracy.

[0096] Real-time adjustment of the tool angle reduces chip accumulation, optimizes the machining process, improves the surface quality and machining efficiency of aluminum alloy body structural parts, and reduces tool wear and material waste.

[0097] It combines a dynamic multi-axis directional cooling strategy with a dynamic compensation mechanism for machining errors to further improve the machining accuracy and quality of aluminum alloy body structural parts.

[0098] During the cutting process, the system adjusts the direction and pressure of the coolant injection based on the real-time data of the optimal cutting path. The starting and end points of the optimal cutting path are set to P1 = (10, 15, 20) and P100 = (90, 95, 110). Through multi-axis motion control, the angle of the coolant injection nozzle is adjusted so that the coolant injection angle is consistent with the cutting path direction to maximize the cooling effect. The initial injection pressure is set to F = 1.5F = 1.5MPa. When the cutting area temperature exceeds 150°C, the injection pressure is increased to 2.0MPa to ensure that the temperature does not exceed 180°C.

[0099] During machining, the system uses sensors to capture parameter error data between the tool and the body structure, including dimensional errors of 0.2mm, shape errors of 0.1mm, tool wear (wear depth of 0.05mm), and material expansion caused by temperature changes. Based on this data, the system calculates the compensation amount and adjusts the tool path in real time. Dynamically adjusting the tool path based on the error function, it compensates for dimensional errors along the path in real time to ensure machining accuracy.

[0100] By dynamically adjusting coolant injection and compensating for machining errors in real time, the system effectively controls temperature fluctuations in body structural parts, reduces machining deviations caused by errors, and improves machining accuracy and surface quality.

[0101] The system divides the body structure into multiple processing zones based on its structural characteristics, such as flat surfaces (300mm x 500mm), curved surfaces (100mm radius), and uneven surfaces (5mm depth). The system uses an optimal cutting path fusion strategy for polishing each zone. Flat surfaces use a higher feed rate of 200mm / min, while curved and uneven areas use a lower feed rate of 100mm / min to avoid over-polishing.

[0102] The system monitors the grinding pressure in real time to ensure that light pressure (5N / cm 2 When the surface roughness of a certain area is detected to be greater than 2.5μm, the system automatically increases the grinding speed or pressure for finishing; when the roughness is less than 1μm, the system reduces the grinding force to avoid over-grinding.

[0103] After the processing is completed, the system will automatically detect the surface cleanliness of the body structure parts and perform surface cleaning. Assuming the surface size of the body structure parts is 1.8m 2 The cleaning air pressure is set to 3.5 MPa and the wind speed is 15 m / s. If even minor stains or residual chips are detected on the surface, the system activates cleaning mode to ensure that each body component meets the predetermined cleanliness standards. After processing, the body components undergo dimensional accuracy testing to ensure dimensional errors are less than 0.05 mm.

[0104] The combination of a zoned composite grinding strategy and surface cleaning significantly improves the surface quality of body components. By precisely controlling the grinding force and cleaning process, the precision and quality of body components meet the high standards of new energy vehicle manufacturing.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
