DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] With reference to the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work, fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0016] In the prior art, the manufacturing process of the vehicle-mounted camera shell faces problems such as surface damage caused by multi-process processing, precision cumulative error caused by multiple molding, low molding efficiency, and lack of non-destructive processing. The traditional process adopts multi-stage molding and post-processing procedures, which causes scratches and indentations on the surface of the workpiece, affecting corrosion resistance and welding strength. Multiple clamping and positioning causes size tolerance accumulation, and the superposition of internal metal stress causes late deformation risk. In addition, hard abrasive grinding and residual moisture cause insufficient surface quality, making it difficult to meet high precision and high reliability requirements.

[0017] To solve the above problems, the inventors found that surface damage and multiple molding are the core factors restricting the quality of the shell. By analyzing the metal flow rule, it is realized that optimizing the blank size and mold structure can reduce the molding times. For friction coefficient control, a micro-textured mold design idea is proposed. To solve the surface treatment damage, soft abrasive and electromagnetic leveling technology are explored. Combined with simulation prediction and gradient pressure strategy, an integrated molding scheme is formed to avoid the process fragmentation problem of traditional process.

[0018] Therefore, the present application proposes a new energy vehicle-mounted camera shell non-destructive one-time forming process, including the following steps: blank pretreatment: selecting a specific aluminum alloy and performing stress relief annealing; DEFORM simulation optimization: establishing a three-dimensional model to analyze the metal flow trajectory, optimizing the blank size and mold process angle; one-time cold extrusion molding: using a non-demolding slope mold and a gradient pressure strategy to control the load in stages; non-destructive surface finishing: using soft ceramic abrasive for magnetic grinding, combined with electromagnetic force micro-deformation leveling; precision cleaning and full inspection: ultrasonic cleaning with neutral cleaning agent, and implementing size tolerance and sealing performance detection.

[0019] Among them, the stress relief annealing refers to eliminating the internal residual stress of the blank by heat treatment in a specific temperature range, which can be realized by using a box-type resistance furnace to ensure the stability of the initial state of the material. The DEFORM simulation optimization refers to predicting the metal flow behavior based on finite element analysis, establishing a model through computer-aided engineering software, and correcting the blank size and mold geometric parameters. The gradient pressure strategy refers to adjusting the load of the press in stages, which can be realized by using a servo control system to avoid overloading deformation of the material. The staggered diamond laser micro-texture refers to processing micro-geometric texture on the inner wall of the mold cavity, which is formed by laser engraving equipment to reduce the friction resistance of metal flow. The non-contact flattening refers to using electromagnetic field to generate controllable deformation force, which is implemented by an electromagnetic generator to eliminate surface damage caused by mechanical contact.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the traditional process relies on multiple forming and machining, which makes it difficult to control the surface quality and dimensional accuracy. The present scheme eliminates the multi-process connection error through integrated forming process, and reduces the trial molding times by combining simulation optimization. The mold micro-texture design and gradient pressure strategy work together to achieve high-precision profile forming in single forming. The non-contact flattening and soft abrasive grinding technology breaks through the traditional surface treatment method, avoiding secondary damage. The precise cleaning process effectively controls the residues, which significantly improves the product consistency compared with the traditional process.

[0021] The present application further proposes that the surface of the blank is subjected to electrolytic polishing treatment after stress relief annealing to remove the oxide layer and reduce the surface roughness to Ra≤3.2 μm.

[0022] Among them, the electrolytic polishing treatment refers to a process of removing micro-protrusions on the surface of the metal through electrochemical dissolution, which can be realized by using an acidic electrolyte under the action of a direct current electric field. The surface micro-high points are preferentially dissolved by anodic dissolution to form a smooth surface. This treatment can eliminate the oxide layer formed during the annealing process and avoid interference of the oxidation residues in the subsequent forming process.

[0023] Among them, the surface roughness Ra≤3.2 μm refers to controlling the electrolytic polishing parameters to make the surface profile arithmetic mean deviation not exceed the threshold value, which can be realized by adjusting the electrolyte temperature, current density and polishing time. This roughness range not only ensures the lubrication requirement of metal flow during subsequent cold extrusion, but also avoids material loss caused by excessive polishing.

[0024] The present application further proposes that the DEFORM simulation in step S2 also outputs a mold wear prediction value. When it is predicted that the wear amount of a certain area exceeds a threshold value, the mold in that area is made of a specific material and plated with chromium.

[0025] The DEFORM simulation refers to a numerical simulation process established by a metal forming finite element analysis software, which can be specifically implemented by DEFORM-3D software, and the die surface wear distribution in the forming process is predicted by inputting material parameters and process conditions. The die wear prediction value refers to the die surface material loss calculated by the software, which can be specifically implemented by the Archard wear model based on contact pressure and sliding distance to calculate the wear depth. The SKD11 material refers to high-carbon high-chromium alloy tool steel, which can be specifically implemented by JIS G4404 standard steel, and its high hardness characteristics can resist abrasive wear caused by metal flow. Chromium plating refers to forming a metal chromium layer on the die surface by electrochemical deposition, which can be specifically implemented by hexavalent chromium plating process, and the thickness of the plating layer is adjusted by controlling the current density and plating time to form a protective layer with wear resistance and surface integrity.

[0026] The application further proposes a technical scheme for real-time monitoring and automatic control of the maximum load in the third stage of gradient pressurization. When the deviation between the measured load and the theoretically calculated value exceeds the set threshold, the equipment protection mechanism is triggered.

[0027] The maximum load measured value and the formula calculation value deviation ≤5% refers to the allowable error range between the actual applied load and the theoretically calculated value in the forming process, which can be specifically implemented by the linkage of the pressure sensor and the control system. This feature ensures that the forming process meets the material flow requirements and avoids overload risks. The automatic shutdown of the equipment refers to immediately terminating the processing flow when the load deviation exceeds the allowable range, which can be specifically implemented by the linkage of the emergency stop module of the servo drive system and the central controller. This feature prevents defective products from being produced under abnormal working conditions and protects the integrity of the die structure.

[0028] The application further proposes that the die is provided with a conformal cooling water channel, the water inlet temperature is controlled at 20-25°C, and the flow rate is controlled at 1-2 L / min to remove the heat generated by extrusion in real time.

[0029] The conformal cooling water channel refers to the spatial consistency between the flow path of the cooling medium and the geometry of the die cavity, which can be specifically implemented by additive manufacturing technology or precision casting technology. The flow distribution matching the high heat generation area of the die is generated by a three-dimensional topology optimization algorithm. This structure enables the cooling medium to cover all heat source areas of the die contact surface. The water inlet temperature of 20-25°C refers to the initial temperature range of the cooling medium, which can be specifically implemented by a constant-temperature water cooling unit combined with a PID temperature control system. This temperature range can avoid work hardening of aluminum alloy materials due to sudden cooling and ensure sufficient heat exchange temperature difference. The flow rate of 1-2 L / min refers to the volume of the medium flowing through the cooling water channel per unit time, which can be specifically implemented by a variable frequency water pump combined with a flowmeter closed-loop control. This flow rate range ensures heat exchange efficiency while avoiding high flow rate induced turbulent impact.

[0030] The application further proposes that the magnetic force grinding adopts a bidirectional rotating magnetic field, so that the abrasive is uniformly wrapped on the surface of the shell, and the surface after grinding has no directional scratches.

[0031] The bidirectional rotating magnetic field refers to a control mode of forming a composite magnetic field force by alternately changing the rotating direction of the magnetic field. Specifically, it can be realized by alternately energizing two groups of electromagnetic coils arranged orthogonally, and the periodic change of the magnetic field direction is realized by changing the current direction and intensity of the coils. The uniform wrapping refers to the distribution state of the abrasive covering the surface of the shell at multiple angles under the action of the magnetic field force. Specifically, the abrasive can form a dynamic balance in bidirectional rotation by adjusting the frequency and intensity of the magnetic field, so as to ensure that each region of the surface of the shell is uniformly ground.

[0032] The application further proposes that after ultrasonic cleaning, hot air drying is used, the temperature is controlled in the range of 60-80℃, the wind speed is controlled in the range of 2-3m / s, and the drying time is controlled in the range of 5-8 minutes, so that the surface water residue is reduced to below 1mg / cm².

[0033] The temperature range of the hot air drying refers to the balance interval of the evaporation efficiency and the material thermal stability determined by thermodynamic calculation. Specifically, a segmented temperature control system can be used to realize it, which can accelerate water evaporation and avoid deformation of the aluminum alloy shell due to heating. The wind speed control refers to the air flow intensity parameter established according to the fluid mechanics model. Specifically, a frequency conversion fan can be used to realize it in combination with a guide cover structure, which can break the surface water film while preventing the shell from being displaced due to air flow impact. The drying time refers to the process time based on the matching of the internal cavity structure characteristics of the shell. Specifically, an infrared humidity sensor can be used for real-time monitoring to realize dynamic regulation and control, so as to ensure complete drying of the internal cavity of the shell with complex geometry. The surface water residue refers to the quantitative control index calibrated by the weighing method. Specifically, a high-precision moisture detector can be used for online monitoring to form a process parameter closed-loop feedback mechanism.

[0034] The application further proposes that in step S2, the DEFORM simulation outputs a fillet compensation amount ΔR=0.05・e⁻ᵋ, where ε is a strain distribution deviation coefficient. When ε>0.3, the die corner process angle is increased by the compensation amount ΔR based on R0.25mm.

[0035] The strain distribution deviation coefficient ε refers to the deviation degree of the actual strain and the theoretical strain distribution in the metal flow process. Specifically, it can be calculated by the strain field data output by the DEFORM simulation software, and is used to quantify the uniformity of metal flow in different regions. The fillet compensation amount ΔR is a nonlinear correction parameter based on the strain deviation. Specifically, it is calculated by using the exponential function relation ΔR=0.05・e⁻ᵋ. This function form can reflect the nonlinear influence of the strain deviation on the material accumulation degree.

[0036] The application further provides a self-tapping thread bottom hole at the threaded connection part of the shell after cold extrusion forming, and the diameter of the bottom hole is smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screw by a certain range, so as to avoid material tearing caused by direct tapping.

[0037] The self-tapping thread bottom hole refers to a hole formed in advance by a mold structure during shell forming, and the hole can be directly formed by a punch structure of a cold extrusion mold. The bottom hole provides a plastic deformation space for the subsequent self-tapping screw. The size relationship that the diameter of the bottom hole is 0.1-0.2 mm smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screw is a matching parameter determined by finite element simulation, and the size range can be realized by adjusting the diameter of the mold punch, so as to ensure the formation of a complete thread profile during tapping and avoid excessive deformation of the material.

[0038] The application further provides airtightness detection in the full inspection link of step S5, specifically including filling compressed air into the inner cavity of the shell and maintaining pressure, and judging the sealing performance by detecting the leakage amount.

[0039] The airtightness detection refers to simulating the actual working pressure of the shell by filling compressed air, detecting whether the shell has a leakage defect, and specifically can be realized by using a differential pressure sensor or a flowmeter to quantitatively evaluate the integrity of the sealing structure of the shell. The 0.2 MPa compressed air refers to the set detection pressure value, which can be realized by a proportional pressure regulating valve, and the pressure can effectively expose small leakage defects and avoid plastic deformation of the shell. The pressure maintaining time of 30 seconds refers to the duration of maintaining the detection pressure, which can be controlled by an electromagnetic valve to ensure the stability of the leakage amount measurement. The leakage amount ≤1×10⁻ 5 Pa·m³ / s refers to the maximum allowable leakage threshold, which can be realized by using a high-precision micro-leakage detector, and the threshold is set based on the dustproof and waterproof level requirements of the vehicle-mounted camera.

[0040] Through the above technical solutions, the application solves the problem of insufficient surface sealing caused by the absence of non-destructive treatment in the traditional process, effectively identifies the internal micro-leakage defects of the shell, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the camera in a humid and dusty environment. The detection result is directly related to the product reliability index, providing a quantifiable quality control standard for mass production, and avoiding the risk of contamination of the optical components or short circuit of the circuit of the camera caused by sealing failure.

[0041] The above only describes the embodiments of the application and does not limit the protection scope of the application. For those skilled in the art, the application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
