Therefore, there is a need for an aluminum alloy reinforced thin-walled assembled and welded side wall panel structure.

[0003] Although the existing alloy-ribbed thin-walled assembled welded sidewall structure has many advantages, the following problems still exist: In practical applications, due to the inconsistent spacing between the reinforcing ribs formed during milling, micro-cracks may occur, resulting in low structural stability. Secondly, in practical applications, the thickness and height of the reinforcing ribs vary, which can easily cause a certain degree of deformation to the cabin body due to the thickness and height of the reinforcing ribs.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] This utility model provides an overall structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of an aluminum alloy reinforced thin-walled assembled welded sidewall panel structure, including:

[0037] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0038] The aluminum alloy sealed cabin sidewall structure 1 uses numerical simulation technology to conduct chain process simulation analysis of the production and processing of the aluminum alloy sealed cabin sidewall structure. After quickly evaluating the distribution of residual stress and deformation of the complete product, and meeting the processing accuracy of each process of the aluminum alloy sealed cabin sidewall structure, an aluminum alloy ribbed thin-walled assembled and welded sidewall panel structure is obtained. Numerical simulation technology is used to perform roll bending simulation analysis on a single aluminum alloy thick plate to predict the distribution of residual stress and deformation during the roll bending process, ensuring that the single plate is formed into an arc sidewall panel that meets the design requirements. In actual processing, the aluminum alloy thick plate is fed into the roll bending machine and rolled bending is performed according to the simulation-optimized parameters to obtain the arc sidewall panel 2, which facilitates better maintenance of the overall structural stability of the device.

[0039] It is worth noting that, in order to splice the arc-shaped sidewall panels into a sidewall ring using vacuum electron beam welding, specifically, the arc-shaped sidewall panels 2 are formed by rolling and bending a single plate, and the three rolled and bent arc-shaped sidewall panels are spliced ​​into a sidewall ring 3 using vacuum electron beam welding. Before welding, based on the residual stress and deformation data from the rolling and bending simulation, welding process simulation analysis is performed to predict the stress distribution and deformation trend in the heat-affected zone of the weld. During actual welding, vacuum electron beam welding equipment is used to control parameters such as welding speed and power to ensure that the weld quality meets the design requirements.

[0040] Three arc-shaped sidewall panels are connected by a welding process to form a sidewall ring 3. The welded sidewall ring is then subjected to vacuum heat treatment to homogenize the internal residual stress. Through heat treatment simulation analysis, parameters such as heat treatment temperature and time are optimized to ensure that the residual stress is effectively released.

[0041] In actual processing, the sidewall ring is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace and processed according to the process parameters optimized by simulation. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0042] Next, in order to thin the sidewall ring, a milling process was used to thin the sidewall ring. Based on the residual stress data after heat treatment, a milling simulation analysis was performed on the sidewall ring to predict the deformation risk during the thinning process and optimize the milling path and parameters.

[0043] In the actual processing, CNC milling machines are used to thin the side wall ring to ensure that the wall thickness is uniform and meets the design requirements. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0044] Meanwhile, in order to better maintain the pressure of the main body 1, specifically, vacuum heat treatment is used to homogenize the residual stress inside the side wall ring, and milling is used to thin the wall thickness of the side wall ring 3. Numerical simulation technology is used to complete the simulation of the continuous process of rolling bending-welding-heat treatment-milling, so as to quickly evaluate the residual stress and deformation evolution law during the product processing.

[0045] Finally, the sealed chamber sidewall structure is obtained. Specifically, the residual stress and deformation evolution law of the sealed chamber sidewall structure are quickly evaluated to meet the processing size requirements, that is, to obtain a better sealed chamber sidewall structure. The light reduction groove is then milled again by milling to obtain the sealed chamber sidewall structure.

[0046] During actual processing, key parameters (such as temperature and stress) should be monitored in real time to ensure consistency with simulation conditions. For large thin-walled cabins (diameter > 3m), special attention should be paid to support and fixation during processing to avoid additional deformation. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0047] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0048] Combination Figures 1-8 The specific usage process of the aluminum alloy reinforced thin-walled assembled and welded side wall panel structure of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] Workers use milling to roll and bend a single plate into an arc-shaped side wall panel. Then, three arc-shaped side wall panels are connected by welding with a side ring 3. Subsequently, vacuum heat treatment is used to homogenize the residual stress inside the side ring 3. At the same time, the wall thickness of the side ring 3 is reduced by milling, and then a light-reducing groove is milled again to obtain the sealed cabin side wall structure. This makes it easier to obtain a suitable cabin side wall, which facilitates better maintenance of the structural stability of the cabin body 1 and helps to reduce the possibility of deformation.

[0050] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
