The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] This embodiment provides a high-precision machining method for tapered high-temperature alloy parts based on 3D additive manufacturing. The method includes: forming a clamping boss on the surface of a blank through additive manufacturing; and using the clamping boss to support and clamp the blank. Figure 1 As shown, the clamping boss is a rectangular block structure, and there are multiple clamping bosses evenly distributed along the circumference of the blank. A machine tool probe is used to perform multi-point detection on the blank surface to obtain actual surface point cloud data. The actual surface point cloud data is fitted using the least squares method to obtain a reference plane, and an actual measured point cloud model is obtained based on the reference plane. The allowance value for each measurement point is obtained based on the preset CAD theoretical model and the actual measured point cloud model. An allowance distribution model is established using an inverse distance weighted interpolation algorithm based on the allowance value for each measurement point. Using the preset theoretical layer thickness as a reference, the local machining layer thickness is obtained based on the allowance distribution model, and an adaptive tool path is generated based on the local machining layer thickness. The machine tool performs machining according to the adaptive tool path.

[0018] This embodiment directly forms a clamping boss during the additive manufacturing stage of the blank and establishes an actual geometric model of the blank by combining the measurement data of the machine tool probe, thereby realizing adaptive adjustment and compensation machining of the allowance.

[0019] This high-precision machining method for tapered high-temperature alloy parts based on 3D additive manufacturing also includes: after machining on a machine tool, in-machine measurement is performed using a probe to calculate the deviation between the actual surface and the target model. If the deviation exceeds a set threshold, a correction path is automatically generated. The set threshold is 0.01mm to 0.05mm.

[0020] The margin value for each measurement point is obtained using the following formula: ; in, For the first The margin value at each measurement point For the first The actual coordinates of each measurement point For the first The coordinates of the corresponding points on the theoretical surface of each measurement point.

[0021] The residual distribution model is obtained through the following formula: ; in, For any point and the th Spatial distance between measurement points As a weighted index, The number of measurement points. For any point and the th Spatial distance between measurement points Let be the residual distribution function. for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates.

[0022] The thickness of the local processing layer is obtained by the following formula: ; in, For localized processing layer thickness, Let be the residual distribution function. for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates For the sake of theoretical thickness, This represents the average residual value across the entire region.

[0023] The deviation between the actual surface and the target model is obtained by the following formula: ; in, This represents the deviation between the actual surface and the target model. For the target model, For actual surfaces, for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates for Axis coordinates.

[0024] The blank is a conical high-temperature alloy part with a height of 300~800mm, a large end diameter of 200~400mm, and a small end diameter of 10~30mm.

[0025] Specifically, the method includes the following steps: (1) Clamping and datum establishment: By forming clamping bosses on the surface of the blank through additive manufacturing, the clamping bosses are used for support and clamping. By adopting a multi-point support clamping method, the clamping bosses formed by additive manufacturing achieve stable positioning of the additive blank, avoiding clamping deformation caused by irregular shape of the blank. The machine tool probe is used to perform multi-point detection on the surface of the blank and collect point cloud data. The machine tool machining coordinate system is determined by fitting the reference plane using the least squares method. ; The least squares method fits the equation of the reference plane as follows:

[0026] By minimizing the objective function:

[0027] The plane coefficients are obtained, thereby establishing a machining reference coordinate system.

[0028] (2) Calculation of remaining margin: Spatial registration is performed between the probe points and the theoretical CAD model, and the machining allowance for each measurement point is calculated. The calculation formula is:

[0029] in, For the corresponding points in the CAD model; (3) Geometric modeling of the margin: Based on the residual values ​​at each measuring point, an inverse distance weighted interpolation algorithm is used to establish a residual distribution model, the expression of which is:

[0030] in, For any point and the th Spatial distance between measurement points For weighted index; (4) Adaptive toolpath generation: With theoretical thickness Based on the baseline, according to the residual function Calculate the thickness of the local processing layer:

[0031] When the local allowance is greater than the average allowance, the thickness of the processed layer increases accordingly; when the local allowance is less than the average allowance, the thickness of the processed layer decreases. (5) Processing execution and error correction: The generated toolpath is executed for machining. After machining, an in-machine measurement is performed using a probe to calculate the deviation between the actual surface and the target model.

[0032] If the deviation exceeds the set threshold ε, a replacement path will be automatically generated for correction.

[0033] The allowance distribution model is smoothed using B-spline surfaces to ensure the continuity and smoothness of the allowance field in toolpath calculation.

[0034] The toolpath generation module adopts a five-axis streamlined machining strategy based on the allowance distribution, and the tool axis direction is adjusted by vector projection based on the local normal to ensure stable tool cutting posture.

[0035] During machine measurement, the probe measurement error is processed through repeated measurements and statistical filtering. A mean filtering algorithm is used to correct outlier data; the correction formula is as follows:

[0036] The machining path generation is completed by the CAM software module, and measurement is achieved through a communication interface with the machine tool probe system. Modeling Processing closed-loop control.

[0037] Threshold for machining error correction The setting is adaptive based on the part's accuracy level, ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 mm.

[0038] It integrates with in-machine measurement systems, CNC machine tool control systems, and CAD / CAM software modules to achieve full-process automation of blank allowance detection, geometric modeling, machining path planning, and closed-loop correction.

[0039] Example (1) Clamping and datum establishment The additively manufactured blank is clamped with multiple supports. To improve clamping stability, four clamping bosses are formed on the blank using additive manufacturing. The tops of the bosses cooperate with special support blocks to achieve reliable positioning.

[0040] The machine tool's built-in probe is used to perform full-area detection of the workpiece's shape and collect point cloud data. The least squares method is used to fit the reference plane, and the equation is:

[0041] This determines the machining coordinate system. .

[0042] (2) Residual Calculation and Geometric Modeling Spatial registration will be performed between the point cloud data obtained from machine measurement and the theoretical CAD model.

[0043] The formula for calculating the local machining allowance at each point is:

[0044] in This refers to the corresponding point on the CAD model.

[0045] To generate a continuous residual distribution model, inverse distance weighted interpolation is used for the discrete residual data:

[0046] The resulting three-dimensional surface is the surplus distribution surface. This surface reflects the excess or deficiency characteristics of each region.

[0047] (3) Adaptive toolpath generation According to the residual function Adjust the local tool layer thickness. The theoretical layer thickness is... The actual processed layer thickness is:

[0048] when When this happens, the system automatically increases the step distance or deepens the cutting layer thickness; when If necessary, the layer thickness will be automatically reduced or a small step-pitch cutting method will be used.

[0049] The generated toolpath is smoothed and vector projected to maintain streamline continuity and smooth tool posture, adapting to the five-axis linkage machining strategy.

[0050] (4) Processing execution and error correction After processing, in-machine measurements are performed to calculate the deviation between the actual surface and the target model:

[0051] like (If an error threshold is set), the system will automatically generate a corrected tool path for supplementary cutting, forming a self-closed-loop machining process.

[0052] This method can achieve machining in a single setup. Measurement The modified closed-loop execution significantly reduces manual trial cutting and alignment operations.

[0053] Increasing the number of probe points from 100 to 300 improves the accuracy of the fitted geometric model. Test results show that this method can control wall thickness uniformity within ±0.05mm and improve processing efficiency by approximately 20%.

[0054] A clamping boss is synchronously additively manufactured on the large end face of the tapered high-temperature alloy blank. The clamping boss is concentrically arranged with the axis of the cone to ensure stable clamping and clear positioning datum during subsequent machining. Using the clamping boss as the clamping datum, the blank is clamped onto the CNC machine tool, avoiding the traditional problem of difficult alignment for tapered blanks. The machine tool's built-in trigger probe is used to detect multiple points on the blank surface. The detection points are distributed in a grid along the generatrix and circumferential direction, covering critical areas. Adaptive machining path planning: when the allowance is large, the cutting amount is increased in layers; when the allowance is small, the cutting amount is reduced or machining is avoided; when the allowance is uniform, conventional toolpath machining is performed. CNC cutting is performed according to the modified toolpath to ensure uniform part wall thickness and control machining deformation.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a high-precision machining system for conical high-temperature alloy parts based on 3D additive manufacturing. The system includes: a first module for multi-point detection of the blank surface to obtain actual surface point cloud data; a second module for fitting the actual surface point cloud data using the least squares method to obtain a reference plane, and obtaining an actual measured point cloud model based on the reference plane; a third module for obtaining the allowance value of each measurement point based on a preset CAD theoretical model and the actual measured point cloud model; a fourth module for establishing an allowance distribution model based on the allowance value of each measurement point using an inverse distance weighted interpolation algorithm; and a fifth module for obtaining the local machining layer thickness based on the allowance distribution model using a preset theoretical layer thickness as a reference, and generating an adaptive tool path based on the local machining layer thickness.

[0056] This embodiment improves clamping accuracy, solves the problems of clamping difficulty and difficulty in determining the benchmark, ensures uniform wall thickness, and avoids overcutting and undercutting, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency and finished product quality of tapered high-temperature alloy parts. The method of this invention can improve processing accuracy and efficiency while ensuring the consistency of part wall thickness, and is particularly suitable for the precision machining of complex tapered high-temperature alloy parts.
