Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship hull curved plate opening, in particular to a ship hull curved plate structure opening machining process and deformation control method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ship hull curved plate structure has the characteristics of large size, complex line type and high precision requirement, and usually involves opening operation. In order to improve the quality and efficiency of subsequent machining and assembly, the precision of the curved plate structure opening needs to be strictly controlled: the aperture deviation is less than 1mm, the height direction position deviation is less than 1mm, and the center position deviation is less than 1mm.

[0003] In the prior art, the traditional opening process has the difficulty of stress redistribution and buckling deformation caused by deformation sensitivity. At the same time, the precision requirement is strict, and the material is difficult to process, such as AH36 high-strength steel which is prone to thermal stress deformation and cracking. The current opening process is rough, the heat affected zone is wide, and there are many cracks caused by drilling or flame cutting, which need a lot of polishing. When machining large holes, tool vibration causes taper error > 2mm. During machining, deformation control is passive and inefficient, and post-weld correction causes grain coarsening or burning. Temporary support defects cause stress concentration and reduce fatigue life. There is also a problem of insufficient precision after machining, and manual marking may have a deviation of > 3mm.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for an innovative phased active prevention and control method for curved plate opening machining process and deformation control. SUMMARY

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] This invention provides a machining process and deformation control method for opening holes in a curved plate structure of a ship hull. The process includes the following steps: a) Pre-stress relief: Several stress relief holes are set around the target large hole in the curved plate. The center of the stress relief hole is 60-120mm away from the edge of the target large hole, effectively releasing more than 30% of the local stress; b) Adaptive opening: The target large hole is rough machined by spiral milling; c) Gradient shape control: The curved plate is divided into surface A and surface B, and the target large hole is machined alternately. The excess material on each surface is removed in three steps. After each surface change, a natural aging treatment time of 3-5 hours is allowed to eliminate machining stress; d) Semi-finish milling correction: A ball end mill is used to machine the curved surface area according to the contour trajectory. During the milling finish machining process, the roundness error and axial runout are compensated in real time by monitoring. A contour support method is used to suppress the gravitational deformation of the curved plate and strengthen the structure.

[0025] During implementation, stress relief holes are pre-drilled around the target large hole to effectively release local stress. Then, a gradient shape control method is used to divide the curved plate into A-side and B-side for alternating processing, further eliminating processing stress and achieving rapid hole drilling and improved hole drilling quality. At the same time, a contour support method is used to suppress the gravitational deformation of the curved plate, strengthen the structure, prevent processing warping, improve processing quality and efficiency, and effectively reduce the amount of curved plate deformation during processing.

[0026] Example 1 This embodiment describes a machining process and deformation control method for opening holes in a curved plate structure of a ship hull, including the following steps: a) Pre-stress relief: Several stress relief holes are set around the target large hole in the curved plate, with the center of the stress relief hole 60-120mm away from the edge of the target large hole, effectively releasing more than 30% of the local stress; b) Adaptive opening: The target large hole is rough machined by spiral milling; c) Gradient shape control: The curved plate is divided into surface A and surface B, and the target large hole is machined alternately. The excess material is removed in three steps on each surface. After each surface change, a natural aging treatment time of 3-5 hours is allowed to eliminate machining stress; d) Semi-finish milling correction: A ball end mill is used to machine the curved surface area according to the contour trajectory. During the milling finish machining process, the roundness error and axial runout are compensated in real time by monitoring. A contour support method is used to suppress the gravitational deformation of the curved plate and strengthen the structure.

[0027] Specifically, in step a, the diameter d of the stress relief hole s The target large aperture D satisfies: ds = k·D, where k = 0.1–0.15, and the distance d between the center of the stress relief hole and the edge of the target large hole satisfies: d = m·D, where m = 0.12–0.20. In this embodiment, 24 stress relief holes are uniformly arranged around the target large hole. The diameter of the stress relief hole is 50 mm, and the center of the stress relief hole is 80 mm away from the edge of the target large hole, which can effectively release 38% of the local stress.

[0028] In step c, an 80mm diameter carbide 6-flute end mill is selected for alternating face milling. The cutter shank is equipped with a vibration damper. The curved plate is divided into face A and face B for alternating machining. The allowance for each face is removed in three stages. The allowance for the three stages is distributed proportionally: the first removal accounts for 35%-45% of the total allowance, the second for 20%-30%, and the third for 30%-40%. The depth of cut in a single operation does not exceed 20% of the cutter diameter. The formula for the allowance to be removed is: Where H is the total margin, and Δ is the adjustment amount based on curvature. The value of Δ ranges from 0 to 0.01. If the curvature of the cut surface is greater than the curvature of the target large hole, Δ takes a negative value.

[0029] In this implementation, the excess material on surface A is removed three times at 12mm, 8mm and 14mm; the excess material on surface B is removed three times at 16mm, 9mm and 9mm; after each reversal, a 4-hour natural aging treatment is performed to eliminate processing stress.

[0030] In step d, a 50mm diameter ball end mill is used to machine the curved surface area along a contour trajectory, leaving a 0.3mm finishing allowance to compensate for tool runout error caused by curvature changes. Adaptive milling finishing is performed using a CNC gantry milling machine with an integrated laser tracker. A milling bar integrated fine-tuning piezoelectric ceramic actuator is used to provide real-time feedback and compensate for roundness errors. The milling cutter removes the allowance in three passes: 0.5mm, 0.2mm, and 0.1mm, with an adjustable feed rate of 0.05mm / r. Simultaneously, a 10MPa high-pressure emulsion directional flushing system is applied to suppress thermal deformation in the cutting zone.

[0031] In step d, a contour support method based on the curvature of the curved plate is used with a multimodal constraint clamping system. Rigid supports are used in areas with a curvature radius exceeding 5m; other areas use flexible polyurethane pads. Adjustable supports in a grid pattern are arranged along the edges of the curved plate, applying a minimum force of 5kN / m. 2The supporting force is used to suppress sagging deformation due to gravity; at the same time, the pressure of the bending machine's pressure cylinder is set to 20% of the real-time cutting force and dynamically adjusted according to the tool position to prevent warping during processing. The dynamic adjustment strategy is as follows: 1. Monitor the cutting force Fc and the tool position (x,y,z); 2. Calculate the dynamic coefficient k(x,y) by querying the pre-stored curved plate stiffness distribution diagram; 3. Set the pressure value; 4. Execute the piezoelectric actuator; 5. Verify through strain gauges; 6. Finally, cyclically adjust to prevent warping during processing. Accuracy assurance and detection processes are also added. Fiber optic strain gauges are installed around the target large hole to monitor the strain value in real time. When the strain exceeds 300εμ, a shutdown protection is triggered. During milling, a laser tracker is used to detect axial runout, and automatic compensation is applied when the deviation exceeds 0.05mm.

[0032] Example 2 This embodiment describes an apparatus for machining processes and deformation control methods for opening holes in curved hull structures. (See also...) Figs. 1-3 The device includes a support base 5, on which a curved plate fixing device 3 is provided. The support base and the curved plate fixing device are connected by a transition platform 4. A milling machine posture adjustment device 1 is provided on one side of the curved plate fixing device 3. A movable CNC milling cutter 2 is provided on the milling machine posture adjustment device. The CNC milling cutter or the milling machine posture adjustment device is driven by a longitudinal transmission device.

[0033] Specifically, the milling machine attitude adjustment device 1 is used to adjust the orientation and angle of the CNC milling cutter. The device is equipped with a laser tracker and a piezoelectric ceramic actuator to achieve real-time compensation for roundness errors. Driven by a servo motor, the milling machine attitude adjustment device 1 supports multi-axis motion to adapt to the curved surface of the plate. The CNC milling cutter 2, as the core tool for hole drilling, is made of carbide and equipped with a vibration damper. In this embodiment, it includes an 80mm diameter six-flute end mill for roughing and a 50mm diameter ball end mill for finishing, controlling thermal deformation through an adaptive milling path. The curved plate fixing device 3 is used to clamp the curved plate structure. It features a multi-modal constraint clamping system designed according to the curvature of the curved plate. The transition platform 4, as a transition structure, connects the support base and the curved plate fixing device, facilitating adjustment of the curved plate's height and horizontal position. The transition platform 4 has a positioning groove to ensure the initial clamping accuracy of the curved plate. The support base 5 is placed on the ground, providing overall stability. The support base integrates a hydraulic leveling system to compensate for uneven ground and is fixed to the ground with bolts.

[0034] Before operation, the curved plate frame needs to be hoisted onto the curved plate fixing device 3 and adjusted into position using the contour support module. During machining, the milling machine posture adjustment device 1 drives the CNC cutting tool 2 to perform hole drilling, while simultaneously monitoring strain in real time to ensure machining quality.

[0035] Furthermore, the longitudinal transmission device includes a transmission base 10, a servo motor 6, and a longitudinal lead screw 8 connected to the servo motor. The support base is provided with a longitudinal guide rail 9 that cooperates with the CNC milling cutter or the milling machine posture adjustment device.

The bottom of the longitudinal lead screw is provided with a lead screw nut seat 11 to prevent the longitudinal lead screw from bending or vibrating.

[0036] Specifically, the longitudinal servo motor 6 provides the power source and achieves stepless speed regulation through frequency conversion control. The motor output shaft is connected to a reducer to reduce the speed and increase the torque to adapt to heavy-duty cutting. The coupling 7 connects the servo motor 6 and the longitudinal lead screw 8, transmitting torque and compensating for installation deviations. The coupling is an elastic coupling, which can reduce vibration transmission. The longitudinal lead screw 8 converts rotary motion into linear motion, driving the milling cutter to move along the Y direction. The longitudinal lead screw is made of high-strength alloy steel with a precision pitch design to ensure a feed rate accuracy of 0.05mm / r. The longitudinal guide rail 9 is mounted on the support base 5, providing support and guidance. The longitudinal guide rail uses linear ball bearings, combined with a slider to reduce friction and ensure smooth movement. The transmission base 10 is located at the bottom and is fixed to the ground with anchor bolts, providing overall support for the gantry frame. The lead screw nut seat 11 is located at the end of the longitudinal lead screw 8 to prevent bending and vibration of the longitudinal lead screw. The lead screw nut seat is fixed to the base with bolts for easy maintenance. When the longitudinal transmission device is working, the servo motor 6 drives the longitudinal lead screw 8 to rotate, which in turn moves the milling cutter or attitude adjustment device along the guide rail 9. The longitudinal transmission device is equipped with a position sensor, which feeds back data to the CNC system to achieve closed-loop control.

The rotary motor is a vertical servo motor with a spiral water-cooling groove on its outer shell to provide rotational power to the spindle. The rotary bearing and the rotary motor are connected by a coupling 14, which is used to compensate for axial misalignment and eliminate assembly clearance through an expansion sleeve. The rotary bearing is an angular contact ball bearing used to support spindle rotation and control radial runout. The coolant storage tank is a cylindrical aluminum alloy tank with a diaphragm pressure valve. The outlet of the coolant storage tank is connected to a high-pressure hose, and the end cap is a steel flange with an O-ring silicone seal on the edge to prevent dust intrusion.

[0038] Specifically, the milling cutter fixing device 12 connects the machine tool spindle and the cutter body, transmitting cutting torque. It adopts a BT50 taper interface, with the taper surface hardened to HRC58-62. The flange has 6 sets of M12 bolt holes (bolt number 18), and the bottom positioning boss mates with the cutter 20. The rotary motor 13 supports stepless speed regulation, and a rotary bearing 16 is installed at the front end of the output shaft of the rotary motor. The transition connecting plate 17 connects the bearing seat and the cutter and can compensate for installation errors. It ensures the parallelism of the reference surface through the bolt group 18. The bolt group 18 consists of main bolts and peripheral positioning pins, which serve to fasten the various modules and form a rigid assembly. The cutter 20 uses cemented carbide and indexable PCD inserts with a built-in piezoelectric ceramic actuator, capable of performing cutting tasks, and integrates a fine-tuning mechanism.
