Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship plate flattening equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent mobile external force assisted electromagnetic flattening equipment and a flattening method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, welding processes are widely used in shipbuilding industry to process various sections and plates. In the welding process of ship plate materials, residual stress may be generated in the internal structure of the plate due to uneven heating of the welding area and the non-welding area, thermal expansion and contraction, and unskilled manual techniques, which may further cause plate deformation and other consequences.

[0003] Electromagnetic flattening technology has developed rapidly in the shipbuilding industry in recent years. Compared with traditional water fire flattening, it has a fast heating speed and can reach the required temperature in a very short time. After induction heating, the workpiece has good fatigue resistance. Its principle is to use high-frequency electricity to form a magnetic field, and the metal molecules move quickly in the magnetic field to generate heat, which releases the residual stress generated by welding in the metal, thereby achieving the purpose of flattening.

[0004] Chinese invention patent: publication number "CN107716738A", named "a mobile heater for induction heating leveling machine", discloses an induction heating flattening equipment, which realizes flattening through manual operation. However, in the actual plate flattening operation process, it is often difficult to meet the strict requirements of shipbuilding for high-precision flatness of the plate only by relying on electromagnetic flattening. The plate after electromagnetic flattening may still have slight deformation. On the one hand, the ship plate may have undergone complex forming processes such as rolling and bending before processing, which may cause complex residual stress distribution in the plate, making it difficult for electromagnetic flattening to fully eliminate these stresses and achieve ideal flatness. On the other hand, factors such as the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution of the electromagnetic flattening equipment and the energy transfer efficiency may also limit the flattening effect. For example, in the edge area of the plate or the irregular shaped parts, the effect of electromagnetic heating may be weakened, resulting in poor flattening effect in these areas.

[0005] In addition, with the continuous development of shipbuilding industry, the requirements for the material and specifications of ship plate are also increasingly diversified. Plates of different materials, such as high-strength alloy steel and aluminum alloy, have large differences in physical and mechanical properties, and different adaptability to flattening processes. Some new type of plate material may have low sensitivity to electromagnetic flattening, which requires more precise and individualized flattening method.

[0080] As shown in Figure 8 , the application further provides a flattening method suitable for the intelligent mobile external force auxiliary electromagnetic flattening device.

[0081] Step 1, the driving motor 17 is started to drive the track wheel 15 to move to a target area to be flattened;

[0082] Step 2, the supporting leg sleeve 13 is synchronously extended, the electromagnetic chuck 14 at the end of the supporting leg sleeve 13 is adaptively adsorbed to the sheet, and the adsorption force has an initial value of 600N;

[0083] Step 3, the control module 18 and the vision module 20 are started, the direction and the distance from the surface of the sheet are adjusted, the heating flattening module 1 is perpendicular to the surface of the sheet and is aligned with the area to be flattened;

[0084] Step 4, the telescopic rod 21 is extended, the ceramic gasket 22 of the heating flattening module 1 is closely contacted with the surface of the sheet, at the same time, the set current is turned on, the flattening area is heated to a target temperature, the temperature is kept for 10s, and the residual stress is released;

[0085] Step 5, after heating is completed, the telescopic rod 21 is retracted, the surface of the sheet is separated, and the deformed state of the sheet after heating is detected to determine whether the deformation of the sheet is less than the set threshold value relative to the horizontal reference line. If not, the external force assisted flattening mode is started, that is, step 6 is executed; otherwise, the next flattening area is entered for flattening work, that is, step 10 is executed.

[0086] In the heating and flattening stage of the sheet, the magnetic gathering heating block 24 of the heating and flattening module 1 is aligned along the weld by the transmission assembly controlled by the control module 18, and the ceramic gasket 22 of the heating and flattening module 1 is in contact with the surface of the sheet. The heating mode is turned on, and when the heating temperature reaches the target temperature, the heating mode is turned off. The sheet detection module 3 detects the area of the sheet after heating and flattening to determine whether the deformation meets the standard (such as whether the height difference relative to the horizontal reference line is within ±3mm). If not, the wave deformation, local concave-convex or residual deformation position caused by weld shrinkage of the non-compliant area is determined, and the external force assisted flattening mode is started after waiting for a few seconds.

[0087] Step 6, start the external force assisted flattening module 2 and the sheet detection module 3. The control module 18 calculates the force direction angle θ adjust according to the sheet deformation gradient field data fed back by the sheet detection module 3, adjusts and sets the force direction, and at the same time makes the flattening suction cup 29 be stably adsorbed on the surface of the sheet according to the force direction, and judges the deformation state of the sheet.

[0088] Step 61, the control module 18 calculates the force direction angle θ adjust according to the sheet deformation gradient field data fed back by the sheet detection module 3, and the formula is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] wherein are the gradient components of the sheet height field in the x and y directions, respectively, and are obtained by least square surface fitting of partial derivatives; x is the direction perpendicular to the weld, and y is the direction along the weld.

[0091] In the external force assisted flattening stage, the force direction should be dynamically adjusted according to the deformation state of the sheet in specific flattening work. Therefore, based on the surface deformation gradient field of the ship sheet (measured in real time by the sheet detection module), the optimal force angle is calculated by the sheet surface height change rate, and the formula for calculating the force direction angle is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] wherein The gradient components of the sheet height field in x and y directions, respectively, are obtained by least square surface fitting of the partial derivatives of the central position of the flattening mechanism as the origin; x is the direction perpendicular to the weld, and y is the direction along the weld.

[0094] Step 62, the control module 18 calculates the height field gradient and extracts the characteristic parameters according to the height data of the rectangular region centered on the weld feedback by the sheet detection module 3, and the formula is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, is the height field gradient; Δh L is the average height of the left side of the weld; Δh R is the average height of the right side of the weld; σ h is the standard deviation of the height of the single side region; N represents the sample number; h i represents the height of the i-th sample; x i , y i represents the coordinates of the i-th sample.

[0097] Step 63, according to the characteristic parameters extracted in step 62, the deformation state of the sheet is determined:

[0098] When the average height of the left side of the weld Δh L and the average height of the right side of the weld Δh R satisfy Δh L > h0+ò and Δh R > h0+ò at the same time, it is determined that the deformation state is double-sided convex. Wherein, h0 is the reference height, and ò is the height deviation threshold value, which is set according to the flattening standard;

[0099] When the average height of the left side of the weld Δh L < h0-ò and Δh R < h0-ò at the same time, it is determined that the deformation state of the sheet is double-sided concave;

[0100] When the average height of the left side of the weld Δh L > h0+ò and Δh R < h0-ò at the same time, it is determined that the deformation state of the sheet is left convex and right concave;

[0101] When the average height of the left side of the weld Δh L < h0-ò and Δh R < h0+ò at the same time, it is determined that the deformation state of the sheet is right convex and left concave;

[0102] When the height h i of all detection points satisfies max|h iWhen -h0|≤ò(i=1,2,…,N), the thin plate is determined to be in a flat state and no external force is needed to level it.

[0103] The reference height h0 is obtained by controlling the rotating disk of the transmission component to rotate the leveling mechanism horizontally to a flat area near the equipment support point, keeping the height of the telescopic cylinder fixed. The laser displacement sensor of the thin plate detection module collects surface height data of the flat area at a certain sampling frequency and processes abnormal data according to the 3σ criterion. in Let σ be the mean of the original data and σ be the sample standard deviation. Then, the reference height... Where M is the number of valid data points h n Let be the height of the nth valid data point.

[0104] Step 7: Based on the deformation state of the thin plate obtained in Step 6, the adaptive PID algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the coordinated pressing or pulling action of the telescopic cylinders on both sides of the U-shaped frame 26, and optimize the output force of the telescopic cylinders. The double-sided coordinated mode is started after correcting the side with high deformation. Combined with the torque balance equation of the electromagnetic chuck of the support leg (real-time compensation of adsorption force every 50ms), the leveling process is ensured to be stable and efficient.

[0105] Step 71: When both sides of the weld are deformed by bulges, the formula for the output force of the telescopic cylinder is as follows:

[0109] Step 72: When both sides of the weld are concave and deformed, the formula for the output force of the telescopic cylinder is as follows:

[0110]

[0111] F base =k·σ s ·A

[0112] In the formula, γ is the difference coefficient of indentation depth.

[0113] Step 73, when the single-sided convex deformation of the weld is deformed on the other side, the telescopic cylinder output force formula is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] |F push +F pull |≤F max

[0116] In the formula, δ is the composite deformation coordination coefficient; F max is the maximum output threshold of the system.

[0117] The output force of the telescopic cylinder calculated in steps 71, 72 and 73 is the initial output force, and the size of the telescopic cylinder output force is dynamically adjusted by the PID algorithm subsequently.

[0118] Step 74, the self-adaptive PID algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the output force of the telescopic cylinder, and the formula is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, F t is the real-time telescopic cylinder output force; Δh is the target deformation; K p ,K i ,K d are the proportion, integral and differential of the PID algorithm, which can be adaptively optimized according to the material thickness and yield strength.

[0121] The optimization process of the PID algorithm is as follows:

[0122] Step 741, according to the interpolation function of the ship plate commonly used material database, the material thickness and the yield strength, the initial parameters are mapped as follows:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula, u is the material thickness; σ s is the material yield strength; f is the interpolation function based on the ship plate commonly used material database.

[0125] Initialization parameter mapping: for the determination of K p ,K i ,K d control parameters, the mapping relationship between the material thickness u of the ship plate and the yield strength σ s and the initial parameters of the PID is established, and the initial parameter matching is realized through the mapping function: Wherein, f is the interpolation function based on the ship plate commonly used material database, which is fitted through material simulation experiment. When the equipment is working, the thickness u and yield strength σ of the material are obtained by inputting the corresponding material code.s Then, the mapping function is called to calculate the initial parameters.

[0126] Step 742: Based on the rate of change v of the real-time deformation Δh Δh The dynamic proportional coefficient K is obtained. p The formula is as follows:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, μ and Δh are correction coefficients, calibrated through material simulation experiments; max This is the preset maximum deformation threshold.

[0129] Step 743: Based on the cumulative error of deformation ∫Δh dt and the maximum allowable residual stress σ of the thin plate material... x The dynamic integral coefficient K is obtained. i The formula is as follows:

[0133]

[0134] Where ψ is the sensitivity coefficient, calibrated through material simulation experiments; C max This is the preset maximum curvature threshold.

[0135] Real-time parameter adjustment: During the external force-assisted leveling stage, the thin plate detection module of the equipment collects deformation data every 50ms to determine the rate of change v of the real-time deformation Δh. Δh Then the proportionality coefficient K p The dynamic iteration formula is: Where μ is the correction coefficient, calibrated through material simulation experiments, and Δh max To preset the maximum deformation threshold, K is increased when the deformation converges slowly. p Conversely, it decreases. This applies to the integral coefficient K. i The cumulative error of deformation ∫Δh dt is compared with the maximum allowable residual stress σ of the thin plate material. x If we perform correlation, then the integral coefficient K i The dynamic iteration formula is: Where ω is the attenuation coefficient, calibrated through material simulation experiments, E is the elastic modulus of the thin plate material, and K is decreased when the cumulative error approaches the material's yield limit.i , avoid overcorrection. For the differential coefficient K d , the second derivative of the deformation gradient (i.e. the rate of change of curvature) is related to it, and the change in the slope of the sheet surface is monitored in real time by a laser displacement sensor, then the dynamic iterative formula of the differential coefficient K d is: Where ψ is the sensitivity coefficient, calibrated by material simulation experiment, C max is the preset maximum curvature threshold value, which increases K d when the local deformation suddenly changes, inhibits vibration, and increases the stability of the external force during the flattening process.

[0136] When the sheet detection module 3 detects that the sheet deformation state is convex along both sides of the weld, due to the diversity of sheet deformation, the deformation amounts of the two sides of the sheet are inconsistent (one side has a large deformation amount and the other side has a small deformation amount), the sheet detection module 3 monitors the deformation amounts of the two sides of the sheet in real time, the control module 18 controls the moving slide rail 28 to automatically plan the adsorption position of the flattening suction cup 29 according to the deformation condition, the flattening suction cup 29 is electrified and stably adsorbed on the surface of the sheet, the electric telescopic cylinders installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 26 drive the telescopic frame 27 to extend, the double flattening suction cups 29 implement pressure on the surface of the sheet, compress the convex height, and preferentially correct the side with a large deformation amount, after the deformation amount of the side is reduced to be similar to that of the other side, the double-sided cooperative downward pressing mode is started, and until the sheet detection module 3 detects that the deformation amounts of the two sides meet the standard.
