[0004] In the traditional machining, the tool joint marks of the large knife and the small knife near the edge line are prone to appear in the strong pressing area of the forming, and the manual repair cannot reach the key area of the sharp corner due to the grooving design on the concave surface, and the tool joint discontinuity appears in the convex die partition machining due to the tool wear, which is difficult to eliminate even by repair, so that the domestic die cannot meet the requirements of the sharp edge precision, surface quality and appearance consistency of the high-end car outer covering part. Therefore, the existing machining method has the problems that the sharp edge concave surface (especially the space within 5mm on both sides of the sharp corner) cannot be repaired by manual repair, and the tool joint discontinuity appears in the convex die multi-sharp edge with a half.

[0013] Further, in steps 2.1 and 2.2, the method for obtaining the reference line of the sharp edge recess track is to generate a single-pen clear root calculation track by PowerMILL with the same tool allowance and 0.001mm calculation tolerance at the position where the angle between the two sides of the sharp edge is less than 170°-180°, and the intersection line is obtained as the reference line after biasing to the concave side by the distance of tool radius plus processing allowance.
[0014] Further, in step 2.3, the layering thickness of the D1 ball head cutter starting track is 0.005mm, and after layering, the track is combined with the track generated by the three-dimensional offset strategy into an uninterrupted processing program, which is used to eliminate the local groove defects of the sharp edge caused by tool heat accumulation effect.

[0024] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0025] As Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a numerical control machining method for sharp edges of car outer cover, comprising: step 1, for the sharp edge concave surface of the overall machining of the profile, the PowerMILL programming of secondary development is used for machining the profile of the concave surface, the sharp edge surface near the sharp edge concave surface is extracted and cut, the normal is upwardly biased to form a sharp edge protection surface, and a machining allowance is obtained; and the super semi-finishing of D30 ball allowance is added between the conventional semi-finishing and the finishing. Step 1.1, the PowerMILL programming mode based on secondary development is used for profile machining of the sharp edge concave surface, the tool used for programming is numbered, the machining program output carries the instructions of automatic tool changer, automatic tool changer and automatic tool measurement, and the automatic machining of the profile of the sharp edge concave surface is realized. Step 1.2, the sharp edge concave surface in the machining data is extracted, the sharp edge surface in the preset range near the edge line is cut and the normal is upwardly biased by a preset thickness to form a sharp edge protection surface used only for profile finishing programming; the cutting range of the sharp edge surface is 5-10mm near the edge line, preferably 10mm, the preset thickness of the normal upward bias is 0.1-0.15mm, preferably 0.1mm, and the range of the sharp edge protection surface is retained 0.1-0.15mm after the profile finishing is completed, preferably 0.1mm, and the machining allowance.
[0026] Step 1.3, between the conventional D30 ball head tool semi-finishing allowance 0.1mm and the conventional D30 ball head tool finishing allowance 0mm, the super semi-finishing process of D30 ball allowance is added; in step 1.3, the allowance of D30 ball head tool super semi-finishing is 0.03mm-0.04mm, which is used to reduce the influence of tool wear on machining precision in subsequent finishing, and the tool mark between the sharp edge concave surface and the D30 ball head tool finishing is minimized.
[0027] Step 1.4, finally, the profile finishing of the sharp edge concave surface is carried out according to the rule of one program for each edge and one tool, and the tool mark near the edge line of the traditional large tool to small tool is eliminated.
[0028] Specifically, as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the machining mode of PowerMILL programming based on secondary development is used for machining the surface of the concave part, which has the characteristics of facilitating secondary development output tool, using tool number for programming, and making the output program with instructions for automatic tool changing and tool measurement during machining to realize automatic machining. The sharp edge concave surface finish machining needs to have a sharp edge protection surface, which has the characteristics of being processed in place by conventional methods except near the concave surface, and the sharp edge concave surface finish machining uses a special programming method to ensure that each edge has one program, one tool, and no defect for one continuous machining, so as to achieve no rework standard. The traditional method can eliminate the tool joint mark near the edge line from large tool to small tool, the position of the tool joint mark is outside the forming strong pressure area, and the tool joint mark is controlled within a certain range through targeted processing, so as to realize coloring after less rework and ensure the demand of later debugging work. The sharp edge concave surface protection before finish machining in step 1.2 is to extract the sharp edge concave surface from the machining data and cut the sharp edge surface within a range of 10 mm near the edge line, and the normal is upwardly biased by 0.1 mm, which is used only during surface finish machining programming to ensure that there is a 0.1 mm machining allowance in the sharp edge protection surface range after finish machining. The sharp edge concave surface area finish machining preprocessing in step 1.3 is that the sharp edge area is the outer surface of the product area of the workpiece, and between the conventional machining allowance D30 ball allowance 0.1 mm semi-finish and D30 ball allowance 0 mm finish machining, D30 ball allowance 0.03 mm super semi-finish machining is added to minimize the influence of tool wear on machining accuracy and ensure that the tool joint mark between the sharp edge concave surface and the D30 ball allowance 0 mm finish machining is minimized.
[0029] Step 2, for the sharp edge concave surface sharp corner, first use D6 ball nose tool, then use D1 ball nose tool, respectively, according to the preset value, with the same three-dimensional bias strategy, from the middle of the sharp edge, single helix milling processing, the processing range exceeds the allowance range of the sharp edge protection surface in step 1; at the same time, the D1 ball nose tool cutting path is layered according to the residual machining amount of the D6 ball nose tool, and is combined into an uninterrupted machining program to prevent overcutting of the sharp edge; Step 2.1, the sharp edge concave surface sharp corner is first machined by D6 ball nose tool, with three-dimensional bias strategy and according to the reference line, single helix milling processing is carried out from the middle of the sharp edge, and the processing range exceeds the allowance range of the sharp edge protection surface in step 1; in step 2.1, the preset parameters of the D6 ball nose tool machining are rotation speed 10000r / min-11000r / min, preferably 10000r / min, feed speed 4000mm / min-4500mm / min, preferably 4000mm / min, step distance 0.2mm, and calculation tolerance 0.005mm, and the processing range exceeds the sharp edge protection surface allowance range in step 1 by 2-3mm, preferably 2mm.
[0030] Step 2.2, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the D1 ball end mill is used again, preset high rotation speed, low feed speed, small step distance and high precision calculation tolerance, and the same three-dimensional offset strategy is used to process the single helix from the sharp edge middle, and the circular arc is set between the step distances for cutting in and cutting out; in step 2.2, the preset parameters of the D1 ball end mill processing are rotation speed 14000-15000 r / min, preferably 14000 r / min, feed speed 2000-2500 mm / min, preferably 2000 mm / min, step distance 0.05 mm, and calculation tolerance 0.001 mm; and in addition to the Y-shaped edge center track, a single sharp edge is continuously processed by one D1 ball end mill, and the track does not have tool jumping.
[0031] The method for obtaining the reference line of the sharp edge concave surface track is to generate a reference line from the track by PowerMILL single-pen root cleaning calculation track with the same tool allowance and calculation tolerance of 0.001 mm at the positions where the angles between the two sides of the sharp edge are less than 170-180°; at the positions where the track cannot be generated, the intersection line is obtained after offsetting to the concave side by the distance of the tool radius plus the machining allowance, as the reference line.
[0032] Step 2.3, the D1 ball end mill tool path is layered according to the residual machining allowance of the D6 ball end mill, and is combined into an uninterrupted machining program to prevent overcutting of the sharp edge. In step 2.3, the layering thickness of the D1 ball end mill tool path is 0.005 mm, and after layering, the track is combined with the track generated by the three-dimensional offset strategy into an uninterrupted machining program to eliminate local groove defects of the sharp edge caused by tool heat accumulation effect.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , in the design data, the concave edge of the sharp edge is a sharp angle formed by the intersection of the two concave surfaces, and in the programming link, a ball end mill with a reasonable diameter is selected, special programming requirements and methods are used, and the key factors related to the actual processing result and the forming quality are understood and controlled, that is, the control of the sharp angle residual R value after the design data calculation and the machining precision and quality of the two concave surfaces, to ensure the sharpness of the sharp edge and other general quality requirements of the outer surface line of the car product without rework. In order to ensure the machining precision and quality near the sharp edge and the concave surface, the program starts cutting at the sharp edge, processes from one end to the other end, and then finishes the machining outward, which strictly guarantees the sharpness of the sharp edge and the stress of the two sides of the sharp edge during molding to meet the design intention and molding requirements. The lower tool path needs to be tangent to the two sides of the sharp edge, the cutting in and cutting out are connected outside the product area to ensure the sharpness and aesthetics of the sharp edge. as shown in Figure 5As shown, the reference line is calculated considering the tool radius and machining allowance, the included angle between the two sides of the sharp edge is generally between 170 degrees and 180 degrees, and in the part less than 176 degrees, the single pen clear root is calculated by PowerMILL software using the same tool allowance, the method of calculating the trajectory according to the calculation tolerance of 0.001mm, and the trajectory is used to generate the reference line. In the part where the trajectory cannot be generated, the intersection line is obtained as the reference line by offsetting the concave side according to the distance of the tool radius and the machining allowance respectively. Due to the shape of the product and the strong pressure design, there will be local offset near the end of the edge line, and even after the offset surface is extended, the intersection cannot be obtained. At this time, the obtained reference line needs to be extended to the end of the sharp edge concave surface according to the tangential direction. The reference line obtained by the two methods or disconnected needs to be checked at the joint, and the smooth part needs to be kept and the smooth joint needs to be ensured. Extract one reference line for each sharp edge, and place the long and short two of the Y-shaped edge into one reference line; For the anti-overcut processing of sharp edge edge line, due to the slow heat conduction characteristics of small diameter tool, the maximum machining amount is at the tool starting position, and there will be heat accumulation effect in high speed machining process, which causes the tool to stretch and lengthen during machining. The heat accumulation effect is related to the machining amount and duration, and the heat dissipation condition is a dynamic process in which heat generation and heat dissipation are difficult to balance. When the included angle between the two sides of the sharp edge is 170° and the D6 allowance is 0.03mm, the lengthening range of the D1 ball head tool is 0-0.02mm during the machining process of the D1 ball head tool with a machining allowance of 0.04mm from the middle of the sharp edge. A local groove defect with different depths is formed at the sharp edge. The conventional white light, three coordinate and online detection methods cannot detect it. Since the tool is in a non-heat accumulation state before and after machining, the tool length detection data cannot be associated with the occurrence of this defect, and only the debugging expert can find it through visual and fingertip touch methods. After this machining defect enters the debugging process, it will directly affect the quality and sharpness of the sharp edge on the surface of the workpiece, and it cannot be eliminated through research and development, so that the design department obtains the wrong corresponding relationship between the strong pressure and deformation data of the sharp edge surface and the forming result. By using the method of dividing the D1 ball head tool starting trajectory into layers according to the D6 residual machining allowance by 0.005mm, and then using three-dimensional offset strategy to calculate the single helical milling from the middle of the sharp edge according to the reference line, the two are combined into one program to ensure that the machining of the sharp edge is not interrupted.
[0034] Step 3, as shown in Figure 8 For the convex mold with multiple sharp edges with half truncated edges, the sharp edges are programmed and the trajectory order is rearranged by secondary development tool to realize no tool breakage machining. For the convex mold with multiple sharp edges with half truncated edges, the convex mold with multiple sharp edges is programmed according to the sharp edge machining method, and the tangential extension surface is made on both sides of the sharp edge during programming, so that the machining trajectory is along the tangential direction. By using the secondary development tool, the trajectories in different regions are rearranged in sequence according to the unified region to ensure that the half truncated edge region is sequentially machined from one side to the other side.
[0035] Specifically, in order to ensure the sharpness of the sharp edge of the punch, the trajectory is ensured to be machined in a direction approximately perpendicular to the sharp edge during numerical control machining, and the tangential extension surface is made on both sides of the sharp edge during programming, so that the trajectory is fed and withdrawn in the tangential direction, thereby maximizing the sharpness of the sharp edge. Therefore, the punch with a sharp edge needs to be programmed and machined in sections according to the sharp edge. This tool feeding mode is called picking sharp edge machining. In the punch with a half-edge, when the trajectory enters the region where the half-edge disappears, machining discontinuity will be caused due to the tool wear caused by the section machining on both sides of the half-edge. Even if this machining discontinuity is eliminated by hand finishing, coloring defects will still occur on the two adjacent sides, which will make the mold product area debugging coloring unqualified. The secondary development tool has the following functions: rearranging the trajectory order of different regions with the same number of roots according to a unified region, ensuring that the region with a half-edge is sequentially machined from one side to the other side by picking the sharp edge tool feeding mode, and ensuring that there is no finishing debugging coloring failure.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

The CNC machining method for sharp edges of automotive exterior body panels according to claim 5, characterized in that, In steps 2.1 and 2.2, the reference line for the starting tool path of the concave surface of the sharp edge is obtained by using PowerMILL to perform a single-stroke root clearing calculation path at the part where the included angle between the two sides of the sharp edge is less than 170° to 180° with the same tool allowance and a calculation tolerance of 0.001mm, and generating a reference line from the path; at the part where a path cannot be generated, the intersection line is obtained by offsetting the tool radius plus the machining allowance to the concave side, and used as the reference line.
9. The CNC machining method for sharp edges of automotive exterior body panels according to claim 5, characterized in that, In step 2.3, the layer thickness of the starting trajectory of the D1 ball end mill is 0.005mm. After layering, it is merged with the trajectory generated by the three-dimensional offset strategy into a single uninterrupted machining program to eliminate sharp-edged local groove defects caused by tool heat accumulation effect.
10. The CNC machining method for sharp edges of automotive exterior body panels according to claim 1, characterized in that, The specific steps of step 3 are as follows: For the punch with multiple sharp edges and half edges, the punch is programmed in sections according to the sharp edge machining method. During programming, tangential extension surfaces are made on both sides of the sharp edge so that the machining trajectory is tangentially fed in and out. The trajectory of different areas is rearranged in a unified order by a secondary development tool to ensure that the area with half edges is machined sequentially from one side to the other.
