Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic forming, specifically relating to an electromagnetic coil precise positional discharge forming system and forming method. Background Technology

[0002] Electromagnetic forming technology is a common technique used in skin forming. It involves applying electromagnetic force to the skin via an electromagnetic coil along a predetermined path, thus shaping the skin. In existing electromagnetic forming technologies, the electromagnetic coil's position is relatively fixed, and it is moved along the predetermined path by the moving end of a CNC machine tool. However, in actual skin forming processes, due to issues with the actual clamping and positioning of the skin, the actual contour of the skin surface does not perfectly match the theoretical contour. This means that the electromagnetic force applied to the skin along the fixed path with the fixed electromagnetic coil position cannot shape the skin to the predetermined contour. In other words, existing electromagnetic forming processes do not adjust the electromagnetic coil's position relative to the skin according to the real-time contour, thus failing to apply appropriate electromagnetic force to the skin.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the problem that the position and orientation of the electromagnetic coil relative to the skin cannot be controlled during the movement of the existing electromagnetic coil, the present invention discloses an electromagnetic coil precise position and orientation discharge forming system and forming method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses an electromagnetic coil precision positional discharge forming system and forming method, which can adaptively adjust the positional state of the electromagnetic coil relative to the skin according to the real-time changes in the skin contour during the movement of the electromagnetic coil, so as to ensure that the electromagnetic coil can apply a more suitable electromagnetic force to the skin, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the final skin forming.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An electromagnetic coil precision posture discharge forming system includes an attitude adjustment machine tool. The attitude adjustment machine tool includes a moving end, which is capable of translating horizontally along the X and Y axes, lifting vertically along the Z axis, rotating around the X axis in an A-swing motion, and rotating around the Z axis in a C-swing motion. An electromagnetic coil is provided on the moving end, and a skin profile measuring device is provided on one side of the moving end. The skin profile measuring device is used to measure and establish a profile model of the skin. Based on the profile model, the moving end drives the electromagnetic coil to move to the optimal processing posture to perform electromagnetic forming on the skin.

[0007] To better realize the present invention, further, a skin support mold is provided below the moving end of the attitude adjustment machine tool, and a support surface for supporting and shaping the skin is provided on the top of the skin support mold; flexible clamps for clamping and fixing the skin are provided on both sides of the skin support mold.

[0008] A method for precise orientation discharge forming of an electromagnetic coil, implemented based on a precise orientation discharge forming system for an electromagnetic coil, includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Establish a surface model of the skin using a skin surface measurement device, and set feature points on the surface model;

[0010] Step 2: Fit the surface parametric equations of the skin based on feature points;

[0011] Step 3: Solve for the optimal machining position of the electromagnetic coil based on the surface parametric equation, and move the electromagnetic coil to the optimal machining position;

[0012] Step 4: Based on the optimal processing position, solve for the optimal processing parameters of the electromagnetic coil, and perform electromagnetic forming on the skin based on the optimal processing parameters.

[0013] To better realize the present invention, step 3 further includes:

[0014] Step 3.1: Based on the surface parametric equation, find the highest feature point in the machining normal direction within the current machining area and use it as the reference point;

[0015] Step 3.2: Establish a tangent reference plane passing through the reference point;

[0016] Step 3.3: Set the optimal offset distance and establish the optimal position plane parallel to the tangent reference plane. The distance between the optimal position plane and the tangent reference plane is equal to the optimal offset distance.

[0017] Step 3.4: Move the electromagnetic coil by moving the moving end of the attitude adjustment machine tool so that the machining end face of the electromagnetic coil is parallel to the optimal position plane, and the center point of the machining end face of the electromagnetic coil is located on the optimal position plane.

[0018] To better realize the present invention, step 4 further includes:

[0019] Step 4.1: Using the center point of the machining end face of the electromagnetic coil as the first reference point and the rotation center of the A pendulum at the moving end as the second reference point, establish a reference vector pointing from the first reference point to the second reference point.

[0020] Step 4.2: Select feature points on the skinned surface and establish the normal vector of the feature points as the target vector;

[0021] Step 4.3: Calculate the optimal processing parameters, which make the reference vector parallel to the target vector and make the processing end face of the electromagnetic coil coincide with the normal plane of the feature point.

[0022] To better realize the present invention, the optimal processing parameters further include the rotation angle of the A-pendulum, the rotation angle of the C-pendulum, and the Z-axis feed. The reference vector can be parallel to the target vector after being rotated by the rotation angles of the A-pendulum and the C-pendulum. The processing end face of the electromagnetic coil can be coincident with the normal plane of the feature point after being moved by the Z-axis feed.

[0023] To better realize the present invention, the optimal offset distance in step 3.3 is greater than or equal to 2mm.

[0024] To better realize the present invention, further, in each step of the electromagnetic forming process, the parameters by which the moving end drives the electromagnetic coil to move along the X-axis and Y-axis are constant values.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0026] This invention can detect the skin surface in real time during the electromagnetic forming process and adjust the position and orientation parameters of the electromagnetic coil relative to the skin surface in real time according to the skin surface, so as to ensure that the electromagnetic coil can apply appropriate and reasonable electromagnetic force to the skin in the most suitable position and orientation, and ultimately improve the forming accuracy of the skin surface.
