However, this material has some challenges in the casting process. Specifically, the casting performance of ZL205A alloy is poor, and it is prone to defects such as hot cracking, segregation, shrinkage and shrinkage porosity. These problems lead to microsegregation, cracks, deformation and insufficient mechanical properties, making the performance and stability of the part unable to meet the design requirements, and the yield rate is as low as less than 30%. These problems seriously limit the implementation and application of lightweight design of the side transmission system.

[0033] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, a method for arranging weld points in a cast aluminum alloy side transmission housing is characterized by employing laser welding equipment to perform locally controlled-penetration welding on the gear chamber and outer casing castings along a preset biomimetic mesh trajectory. The overall weld points are distributed in a spiderweb pattern, with the weld point density gradually increasing from the inside to the outside. During the welding process, the state of the molten pool is monitored in real time, and the laser power and welding speed are dynamically adjusted to ensure uniform weld formation, absence of porosity and cracks, and welding deformation controlled within ±0.1mm. The steps include: S1: Determining welding parameters based on the dimensions of the housing weld using a reverse double BP neural network model; S2: Determining that the local unit weld points are arranged in a rhombus shape based on the welding parameters, constructing a local rhombus unit by determining the linear equations of the four edges using four weld points, and distributing the rhombus weld points laterally and longitudinally along the diagonal of the rhombus; S3: Sequentially forming a spiderweb-like structure distribution from local to overall, with sparse outer edges and dense inner edges, completing the entire welding process.
[0034] Preferably, the welding parameters include laser power P, laser pulse width w, and weld spot spacing d. The inverse double BP neural network model includes model A and model B. The inverse double BP neural network model is used to determine the weld width and penetration depth of the box body: first, model B obtains the corresponding predicted welding parameters based on the preset weld width and penetration depth. After adjusting the predicted welding parameters according to actual needs, the parameters are then input into model A to check whether the weld width and penetration depth obtained under the welding parameters meet the requirements. If they do, the process ends; otherwise, the weld width and penetration depth obtained from model A are input into model B for further adjustment.
[0035] Preferably, the laser power P is 1000 W to 3000 W, the laser pulse width w is 1 ms to 5 ms, and the solder joint spacing is 2 mm to 8 mm.
[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, the equation of the rhombus quadrilateral can be expressed as follows: Let point A be at the origin (0,0), and another vertex B be at (d, 0). θis the angle between adjacent sides AC and AB of the rhombus. The coordinates of vertex C are obtained by rotating point B around point A θ d-cosθ d-sinθ ); the rotation is preferably clockwise, and vertex D is the symmetric point of vertex A with respect to BC, and the coordinates of D are obtained according to the feature that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other: d· (1 + -cosθ), -d-sinθ , The equation of the straight line on which side AB lies is: y = 0, the equation of the straight line on which side BC lies is: , the equation of the straight line on which side CD lies is: y =-d-sinθ、 The equation of the straight line on which side DA lies is: x.

Then, adjust these predicted parameters appropriately according to actual requirements and experience to obtain the adjusted parameters P adj , w adj , and d adj . Next, input the adjusted parameters into Model A to check whether the output weld width W adj and penetration H adj meet the preset requirements. If not, return to Model B for further adjustment until the requirements are met.
[0046] (5) The relationship models between the weld width W and the laser power P and the spot spacing d are established by the least squares method: W= a 0 + a 1 · P+b · d; the relationship model between the penetration H and the laser power P and the laser pulse width w is established as H=2.15·P-4.06+c·w, where a0, a1, b, and c are coefficients obtained by regression analysis, P is the laser power, d is the spot spacing, and w is the laser pulse width. The laser power P is set to 1000 W to 3000 W, the laser pulse width w is set to 1 ms to 5 ms, and the spot spacing d is set to 2 mm to 8 mm. The regression analysis method is used to establish the mathematical model based on the experimental data in Table 1.
