The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0060] As shown in Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a measurement method for skin stretch forming, for detecting a skin stretched and formed by a stretch forming die, the skin including two clamping ends respectively connected with two stretch clamps.

[0061] The measurement method for skin stretch forming includes the following steps:

[0062] S1, multiple laser distance measuring devices are arranged at the same preset cross section below the stretch-drawing die, and the multiple laser distance measuring devices are respectively used for measuring the distance between the side of the two clamping end faces facing the stretch-drawing die and the corresponding laser distance measuring device.

[0063] In the existing stretch-drawing process, the stretch-drawing die is usually installed on the stretch-drawing slide rail and locked with the stretch-drawing slide rail through a locking device. In the embodiment, multiple laser distance measuring devices can be installed on the stretch-drawing slide rail, so that the laser distance measuring devices do not interfere with each other and are convenient to install. Of course, a mounting rack can also be separately arranged below the stretch-drawing die, and the laser distance measuring devices are installed on the mounting rack. The mounting method of the laser distance measuring devices is not limited in the embodiment.

[0064] It should be noted that the multiple laser distance measuring devices are divided into two groups, each group including multiple laser distance measuring devices, and the directions of the laser emitting heads of the two groups of laser distance measuring devices are different, so that the two clamping end faces facing the stretch-drawing die are measured by the two laser distance measuring devices respectively.

[0065] The type and structure of the laser distance measuring device are not limited in the embodiment, as long as the laser technology can be used for measurement.

[0066] S2, the positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices are calibrated.

[0067] Optionally, the calibration of the positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices includes the following steps:

[0068] setting a calibration reference, the calibration reference including a die reference arranged on the stretch-drawing die or an external reference arranged outside the stretch-drawing die;

[0069] simultaneously scanning the calibration reference and the multiple laser distance measuring devices by a three-dimensional scanner to calibrate the positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices.

[0070] The three-dimensional scanner is used to simultaneously scan the calibration reference and the multiple laser distance measuring devices, so as to ensure the calibration accuracy of the multiple laser distance measuring devices, and thus the reliability of the measurement results is improved.

[0071] It should be noted that the outer surface of the stretch-drawing die is a finished surface. In the embodiment, the die reference arranged on the stretch-drawing die is used as the calibration reference, so that the calibration process is simplified and the measurement efficiency is improved.

[0072] The calibration method of the multiple laser distance measuring devices is not limited in the embodiment, as long as the positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices can be accurately calibrated.

[0073] S3, the positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices obtained through the calibration are mapped to the stretch-drawing numerical model of the skin, so as to determine the zero point positions of the multiple laser distance measuring devices and determine the theoretical cross section line of the skin on the preset cross section.

[0074] It should be noted that due to the different cross sections of different positions of the skin, in other words, the shape of the skin at different positions is different, so after the laser ranging device is installed, the position of the laser ranging device needs to be calibrated.

[0075] By mapping the positions of the plurality of laser ranging devices to the stretch forming numerical model of the skin, the readings of the laser ranging devices in the theoretical case can be determined, and the readings are used as the zero point position of the laser ranging device, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the measurement results of the laser ranging device.

[0076] S4, performing stretch forming production to make the skin.

[0077] Optionally, performing stretch forming production to make the skin includes the following steps:

[0078] Starting the stretch forming production, collecting and recording the readings of the plurality of laser ranging devices;

[0079] Determining whether the skin is within the range of the plurality of laser ranging devices, if yes, continuing to perform the stretch forming production to make the skin; if no, adjusting the installation position of the laser ranging device that exceeds the range, and until the skin is within the range of the plurality of laser ranging devices, and then continuing to perform the stretch forming production to make the skin.

[0080] Through the above steps, it is ensured that all the laser ranging devices can work normally, and the reliability and accuracy of the measurement results are improved.

[0081] During the stretch forming production, the readings of the plurality of laser ranging devices are monitored in real time, which is beneficial to judge the effectiveness of the measurement results of the laser ranging devices, and provides the possibility for the optimization of the stretch forming process of the skin and the quality monitoring of the skin.

[0082] Exemplarily, when determining whether the skin is within the range of the laser ranging device, if the reading of the laser ranging device stays at the maximum range for a long time, it can be considered that the skin exceeds the range of the laser ranging device.

[0083] S5, after completing the stretch forming production, recording the actual readings of the plurality of laser ranging devices.

[0084] It can be understood that after completing the stretch forming production, the actual readings of the plurality of laser ranging devices are recorded after the readings of the plurality of laser ranging devices are stable, and then the reliability of the measurement results of the plurality of laser ranging devices is ensured.

[0085] S6, fitting the actual cross section line of the skin on the preset cross section according to the plurality of actual readings and the theoretical cross section line.

[0086] Exemplarily, the actual cross-section line of the skin on the preset cross-section can be obtained by interpolating fitting a plurality of actual readings according to a theoretical cross-section line fitting function.

[0087] The measuring method for skin stretch forming in the embodiment firstly installs a plurality of laser distance measuring devices to determine a preset cross-section, and takes the preset cross-section as a reference for skin measurement and evaluation, and then calibrates the positions of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices to ensure the reliability of the measurement results of the laser distance measuring devices; then, the skin is measured on line in the stretch forming production, so as to record the actual readings of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices after the stretch forming production is completed, and then interpolate the actual cross-section on the preset cross-section according to the theoretical cross-section line of the skin on the preset cross-section, so as to achieve the purpose of measuring the actual cross-section line of the skin on the preset cross-section, which not only reduces the difficulty of evaluating the stretch forming state of the skin, but also fully evaluates the stretch forming precision of the skin.

[0088] Optionally, after step S6, the following step is further included:

[0089] According to the actual cross-section line and the theoretical cross-section line, the distribution of the die gap of the skin on the preset cross-section is calculated; the die gap is the gap between the skin and the stretch forming die.

[0090] Since the actual cross-section line and the theoretical cross-section line are located in the same stretch forming die, the distribution of the die gap of the skin on the preset cross-section can be quickly calculated, and the distribution of the die gap can also be directly viewed.

[0091] Optionally, after step S6, the following step is further included:

[0092] A plurality of target points are selected on the theoretical cross-section line, and the tangent direction and / or curvature of the plurality of target points are calculated;

[0093] According to the actual cross-section line and the theoretical cross-section line, the die gap at the plurality of target points is calculated; the die gap is the gap between the skin and the stretch forming die.

[0094] According to the die gap at the plurality of target points, and according to the principle of continuous tangent direction and / or minimum curvature change, the actual longitudinal cross-section line of the skin on the longitudinal cross-section where the plurality of target points are located is fitted; the longitudinal cross-section is perpendicular to the preset cross-section.

[0095] By comparing the actual longitudinal cross-section line of the skin with the theoretical profile, the distribution of the die gap of the skin on the plurality of longitudinal cross-sections produced by the stretch forming production can be directly viewed, which is beneficial to further fully evaluate the stretch forming precision of the skin.

[0096] Optionally, after fitting the actual longitudinal cross-section line of the skin on the longitudinal cross-section where the plurality of target points are located, the following step is further included:

[0097] According to the actual cross-section line and the plurality of actual longitudinal-section lines, the actual profile of the skin is fitted.

[0098] By comparing the actual profile of the skin with the theoretical profile, the overall gap distribution of the skin produced by the stretch forming can be intuitively viewed, which is beneficial to further fully evaluate the stretch forming precision of the skin.

[0099] Optionally, after fitting the actual profile of the skin, the following steps are further included:

[0100] According to the theoretical profile and the actual profile of the skin, the overall gap distribution of the skin and / or the springback amount of the skin is calculated.

[0101] By calculating the overall gap distribution of the skin and / or the springback amount of the skin, the stretch forming precision of the skin and the forming quality of the skin can be accurately evaluated.

[0102] Optionally, the plurality of target points includes a plurality of preset target points, and the plurality of preset target points are points on the theoretical cross-section line corresponding to the plurality of laser distance measuring devices. It should be noted that the plurality of actual readings are the gap distributions at the plurality of preset target points. By the above setting, the calculation process is simplified, and the measurement efficiency is improved.

[0103] Exemplarily, Figure 2 is a detailed flowchart of the measurement method for skin stretch forming provided by the embodiment, and the following will be described in combination with Figure 2 The measurement method for skin stretch forming is described in detail.

[0104] The measurement method for skin stretch forming includes the following steps:

[0105] S101, the plurality of laser distance measuring devices are arranged at the same preset cross-section below the stretch forming die, and the plurality of laser distance measuring devices are respectively used to measure the distance between the two clamping end faces on the side facing the stretch forming die and the corresponding laser distance measuring device.

[0106] S102, the positions of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices are calibrated.

[0107] S103, the positions of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices obtained by the calibration are mapped to the stretch forming numerical model of the skin, so as to determine the zero point positions of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices and determine the theoretical cross-section line of the skin on the preset cross-section.

[0108] Exemplarily, the stretch forming numerical model is established in the upper computer through CAD software.

[0109] S104, the stretch forming production of the skin is started, and the readings of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices are collected and recorded.

[0110] Exemplarily, the plurality of laser distance measuring devices are each communicatively connected to the host computer, and the host computer comprises a data acquisition system, so that the host computer can acquire and record the readings of the plurality of laser distance measuring devices in real time through the data acquisition system. The host computer and the data acquisition system are both prior art, and will not be described here.

[0111] S105, determining whether the skin is within the range of all laser distance measuring devices, if yes, entering S107; if no, entering S106.

[0115] S109, fitting the actual cross-sectional line of the skin on the preset cross-section according to the plurality of actual readings and the theoretical cross-sectional line.

[0116] As shown in Figure 3 , the solid line is the actual cross-sectional line of the skin on the preset cross-section, and the dashed line is the theoretical cross-sectional line of the skin on the preset cross-section. By comparing the actual cross-sectional line with the theoretical cross-sectional line, the film attachment gap of the skin on the preset cross-section can be evaluated.

[0117] S110, selecting a plurality of preset target points on the theoretical cross-sectional line, and calculating the tangent direction and curvature of the plurality of preset target points. The plurality of preset target points are points on the theoretical cross-sectional line corresponding to the plurality of laser distance measuring devices.

[0118] S111, fitting the actual longitudinal cross-sectional line of the skin on the longitudinal cross-section where the plurality of target points are located according to the plurality of actual readings, and the principle of continuous tangent direction and minimum curvature change; the longitudinal cross-section is perpendicular to the preset cross-section.

[0119] As shown in Figure 4 , the solid line is the actual longitudinal cross-sectional line of the skin on one of the longitudinal cross-sections, and the dashed line is the theoretical longitudinal cross-sectional line of the skin on the longitudinal cross-section. By comparing the actual longitudinal cross-sectional line with the theoretical longitudinal cross-sectional line, the film attachment gap of the skin on the longitudinal cross-section can be evaluated.

[0120] S112, fitting the actual profile of the skin according to the actual cross-sectional line and the plurality of actual longitudinal cross-sectional lines.

[0121] That is, step S112 fits the actual profile of the skin by a full-field interpolation method.

[0122] By fitting the actual contour of the skin, the relationship between the actual forming process deviation of the skin and the movement position deviation of the forming fixture can be evaluated, and then the forming state and forming accuracy of the skin can be fully evaluated.

[0123] S113. Calculate the overall mold gap distribution and the springback of the skin based on the theoretical and actual contours of the skin.

[0124] The measurement method for skin stretch forming of this embodiment takes into account the development demand for high quality and high precision of skin parts, and fully utilizes the structural characteristics of the skin stretch forming when the space of the stretch forming machine is limited and the skin material is complex. It breaks through the situation that the skin stretch forming state is difficult to evaluate and the stretch forming accuracy is insufficient in the traditional production process, and can realize real-time feedback of the skin stretch forming quality during the production process. In other words, it can realize online measurement and feedback, thereby greatly accelerating the process of later optimization and quality evaluation. It can be applied to mass production of skin to improve the current level of digitization and intelligence of skin production.
