[0002] In the modern industrial field, especially in key industries such as aerospace, automobile industry and energy equipment, the high-quality precise forming technology of curved members with a specified curvature occupies a decisive position.

[0003] With the continuous rapid development of science and technology, these industries have put forward increasingly stringent requirements for the performance and quality of equipment. Taking aerospace as an example, the lightweight design and high performance pursuit of aircraft require that key components such as engines and fuel systems must have higher precision and reliability; in the automobile industry, in order to meet the increasingly stringent energy-saving and emission-reducing standards, engines and fuel systems need to be continuously optimized and efficiency improved; in the field of energy equipment, whether it is the transportation pipeline of petroleum and chemical industry or the key components of new energy equipment, there are high expectations for the forming quality of the components.

[0010] In an optional scheme, the smaller the arc length l of the transition section program is, the shorter the time t is, the larger the Vu (bending die eccentric speed) is, the higher the axis accuracy is, and the smaller the error is. In the experiment using the free bending forming equipment, the arc length of the transition section 1 is taken as the stable arc bending section program at the beginning of the experiment The eccentric distance of the stable arc bending section, that is, the distance from the center of the bending die to the origin, and the Vz (pipe material pushing speed) = 20 mm / s, and the time t = l / 20 s. First, the time t is fixed, and the arc length l is gradually reduced by 0.1U each time. As long as the forming surface is not scratched and wrinkled, the process continues, and the minimum arc length lmin of the transition section 1 is finally determined. Second, based on the determination of lmin, the time t is gradually reduced, that is, Vu = U / t is gradually increased. As long as the forming surface is not scratched and wrinkled, the process continues, and the minimum time tmin of the transition section 1 is finally determined, and then the transition section 1 program is determined. The transition section 2 is the same.

[0011] In an optional scheme, the determined transition section 1 program is executed at the tail of the straight section 1 program, the arc length replaced by the straight section 1 program accounts for k (0≤k≤1) in the transition section 1 arc length, the arc length replaced by the straight section 1 program is supplemented into the stable forming section program. First, take k = 0, and perform the experiment. The experimental component model obtained by the laser scanning device is compared with the target component model. If the maximum error is less than 1%, k can be determined. The transition section 2 program is processed in the same way.

[0012] The experimental component model of the determined program is obtained by the laser scanning device, and the experimental component model is measured and calculated with the target component model forming angle difference θ. The arc length calculation formula is The length of the stable forming section that needs to be compensated or reduced is calculated, and the forming program is finally determined.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:
