Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing of dot matrix metal, and particularly relates to a wide-band anti-sound double-dot matrix structure based on additive manufacturing and a manufacturing method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Additive manufacturing, also known as rapid prototyping, 3D printing and free-form fabrication, is a technology that directly constructs a three-dimensional object by depositing, solidifying and connecting materials according to a computer-aided design model, without other complicated processing steps, to quickly realize the manufacturing of a part. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods such as machining and casting, the additive manufacturing system exhibits higher efficiency and flexibility in production, and provides a new perspective for the design of parts and the processing of materials.

[0003] Dot matrix structure is a kind of artificially designed periodic structure, and its unique periodic arrangement makes it have many unique properties. By designing and adjusting the cell structure and porosity, the performance can be effectively controlled, and it has been widely concerned in the fields of mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and acoustics, and is considered as one of the most promising new generation of lightweight multifunctional materials. In recent years, the design of dot matrix structure generally aims at the improvement of material performance, and the development of multifunctional dot matrix structure design has become a development trend.

[0004] The sound barrier is one of the key components of the underwater sonar system, which requires pressure bearing and anti-sound performance, and plays a role of shielding noise, decoupling, anti-sound or absorbing sound waves in the hydrophone array, so as to improve the directivity of the hydrophone and increase the signal gain. In order to reflect the incident sound wave as much as possible, the anti-sound barrier requires that its characteristic impedance is severely mismatched with the characteristic impedance of water and has small sound attenuation. For the application of anti-sound structure in underwater sound, materials with severely mismatched impedance and water are usually used. Since the impedance of air and water is severely mismatched, air is an ideal anti-sound material, especially for low frequency band, and large air cavity barrier has obvious advantages. However, in the early application of anti-sound structure, the air cavity surrounded by steel plate is easy to deform under high hydrostatic pressure and is not easy to recover, which limits its application; the use of internal stiffening changes the structure of the cavity, but narrows the working bandwidth. At present, the materials commonly used in anti-sound structure are rubber, polyurethane foam and the like, which can bear a certain pressure through pre-pressing and the like, but the bearing capacity is limited. These anti-sound materials are easy to deform or even damaged under extreme environmental conditions such as deep sea high pressure, causing failure and affecting their acoustic performance, which seriously hinders the information transmission underwater.

[0005] Developing broadband acoustic reflective lattice structures through lattice design holds great potential. However, the inherent bandgap characteristic of lattice structures makes their acoustic performance highly unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to artificially design solutions to address the bandgap issue and meet broadband acoustic reflective requirements. Series connection is a preferred method, but the interfaces between different lattice structures occupy spatial coordinates. Traditional Boolean connections typically require large Boolean radii, increasing redundancy and potentially hindering the structure's functional performance. Furthermore, post-additive manufacturing powder cleaning is difficult, leading to powder blockage. Additionally, due to the complexity of lattice structures, incompatibility between upper and lower structures often results in hard connections, and printing in transition zones can lead to suspended designs and printing failures. Therefore, research is needed on series modeling and transition methods for lattice structures. Simultaneously, when using selective laser melting (SLM) technology to print lattice structures, the small-section, discontinuous nature of the printing process makes it prone to failure due to excessive power causing blade damage, while insufficient power results in inadequate mechanical properties. Therefore, additive manufacturing process optimization is required for lattice structures, especially for the transition regions of three-period minimal curved surface structures.

[0006] To address the above issues, this invention designs a broadband acoustic dual-lattice structure. The lattice structure is composed of a three-period minimal surface Gyroid and a Split-P structure connected in series. A ramp function is used to achieve a gradual transition and smooth control of the dual-lattice structure, resulting in severe impedance mismatch, thus achieving broadband acoustic reflection underwater from 50Hz to 4000Hz. This invention also develops a method for fabricating this broadband acoustic dual-lattice structure. By optimizing the additive manufacturing process and using different printing parameters in the transition and non-transition regions, problems such as printing failure, poor printing quality, and low density caused by the transition between the two lattice structures are solved. This achieves high-precision and efficient fabrication of a broadband acoustic dual-lattice structure based on additive manufacturing. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a broadband acoustic dual-lattice structure based on additive manufacturing, its fabrication method, and its application. One objective is to design an underwater dual-lattice structure with broadband acoustic reflection capabilities. This is achieved by designing two three-period minimal surfaces in series, using a parametric modeling method to generate an integrated structure. The two structures are progressively transitioned and smoothly controlled using a ramp function. By controlling the structural parameters of the two three-period minimal surface lattice structures, the average acoustic reflection coefficient is greater than 0.6 in a broadband frequency range of 50Hz to 4000Hz underwater. Another objective of this invention is to achieve high-precision and efficient integrated fabrication of the dual-lattice structure by optimizing the additive manufacturing process and the printing parameters of the structural transition zone.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0009] A broadband acoustic dual-array structure based on additive manufacturing is proposed. This structure consists of a three-period minimal surface structure (Gyroid structure) and a Split-P structure connected in series. The integrated design is achieved through parametric implicit modeling combined with Ramp function control. The outer surface of the structure is sealed with a skin. The average acoustic coefficient is greater than 0.6 in a broadband frequency range of 50Hz to 4000Hz underwater.

[0010] Furthermore, the parametric implicit modeling employs piecewise function control. This is achieved by solving the implicit function control equations for the Gyroid and Split-P structures, and using the Ramp function to realize the gradual transition and smooth control of the dual-structure lattice structure. The piecewise function for the integrated parametric implicit modeling design is as follows:

[0011]

[0012] in: Gyroid(x,y,z) = cos(x) sin(y) + cos(y) sin(z) + cos(z) sin(x) = 0,

[0013] Split-P(x,y,z) = 1.1 (sin(2x) cos(y) sin(z) + sin(2y) cos(z) sin(x) + sin (2z) cos(x) sin(y)) - 0.2 (cos(2x) cos(2y) + cos(2y) cos(2z) + cos(2z) cos(2x)) - 0.4 (cos(2y) + cos(2z) + cos(2x)) = 0,

[0014] Ramp(x,y,z) = k(z) Split-P(x,y,z) + (1 - k(z)) Gyroid(x,y,z)) = 0,

[0015] where ;

[0016] h 1The lowest point of the lattice structure z coordinate, h 4 The highest point of the lattice structure z coordinate, h 2 For the transition zone structure in z Minimum value in direction, h 3 For the transition zone structure in z Maximum value in direction, k(z) for Ramp The parameterized transition equation of the function controls the absolute value of the slope of k(z) to be in the interval (0.025, 0.5).

[0017] Furthermore, the modeling steps for the structure are as follows:

[0018] Step 1: Based on the unified parameterized implicit function control method, Gyroid and Split-P three-period minimal surface structural units with complementary acoustic characteristics are generated simultaneously through piecewise functions. The Ramp function is used to realize the gradual transition and smooth control between the two structural units.

[0019] Step 2: Add skin to the outer surface of the dual-lattice structure model after completing Step 1 for sealing, and finally form a dual-lattice structure model with wideband acoustic performance.

[0020] Furthermore, the unit cell sizes of the Gyroid structure and the Split-P structure are equal, and the thicknesses of the two structures are equal in the Z direction; the thickness of the bistructure composed of the two structures is greater than or equal to 40 mm, and the number of layers in each unit cell is at least 2; the porosity of the bilattice structure is controlled at 50%~90% respectively; and the unit cell size is 5 mm~20 mm.

[0021] Furthermore, the outer surface skin of the structure has a uniform thickness of 1~2mm.

[0022] A method for fabricating a broadband anti-acoustic dual-lattice structure based on additive manufacturing is disclosed, employing selective laser melting additive manufacturing and welding processes. The specific steps are as follows:

[0023] Step 1: Obtain a 3D model file of a broadband anti-acoustic dual-array structure by constructing a 3D model, and perform process adaptability design on the 3D model to obtain a printable 3D model.

[0024] Step 2: The 3D model is sliced ​​using slicing software, and a broadband anti-acoustic dual-array structure, bottom and side skins are prepared using selective laser melting additive manufacturing process; the metal material used is 316L stainless steel powder with a particle size of 15μm~53μm.

[0025] Set the range [ h2 -0.1, h 3 + [0.1] is the transition zone for printing the structure, and the other zones are non-transition zones. Within the transition zone, a fine printing strategy with low power and small layer thickness is adopted, with a laser power of 100W~150W, a scanning rate of 800mm / s~1200mm / s, a layer thickness of 0.02mm, a scanning angle of 67°, and a scanning interval of 80μm. In the non-transition zone, conventional printing parameters are used: laser power of 180W~260W, a scanning rate of 800mm / s~1200mm / s, a layer thickness of 0.03mm~0.05mm, a scanning angle of 45°~90°, and a scanning interval of 80μm~100μm.

[0026] Step 3: Clean the residual powder inside the additive manufacturing double lattice structure; perform heat treatment on the structure at a temperature of 1010℃~1150℃ for 30min~120min, followed by water cooling; after heat treatment, weld and seal the structure using 316L stainless steel of the same material to form a completely sealed structure.

[0027] An application of a broadband acoustic dual-array structure based on additive manufacturing, wherein the structure is applied to a broadband acoustic component of underwater equipment.

[0028] Beneficial effects of this invention:

[0029] 1) Wideband acoustic reflection: To address the urgent need for wideband acoustic reflection structures underwater, this invention designs a three-period minimal surface Gyroid and a Split-P structure in series. The series coupling design allows the two structures to compensate for each other in acoustic response. By connecting the two structures in series, the limitations of the acoustic transmission frequency band of a single structure are overcome. Using a parametric modeling method, the two structures are gradually transitioned and smoothly controlled through the Ramp function. An average acoustic reflection coefficient greater than 0.6 is achieved in the wideband of 50Hz~4000Hz underwater.

[0030] 2) High-precision fabrication of dual-lattice structures: Since there is a printing transition region in the dual-lattice structure, the transition region is prone to printing risks, leading to printing failure. This invention optimizes the additive manufacturing process by using a low-power, small-layer-thickness strategy for printing the transition region of the dual-lattice structure, while using a large-layer-thickness strategy for printing the non-transition region. This solves the problems of printing failure, poor printing quality, and low density caused by the transition between the two lattice structures, achieving efficient and high-precision fabrication of dual-lattice structures and improving printing quality.
