Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional spinning forming methods result in the formation of press marks on plates due to the separation of processing tools at the outside edge of the formation target region, leading to unwanted depressions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves moving the processing tool from the inside edge to the outside edge of the plate while rotating, with the tool standing by at the outside edge or reducing its speed near the edge to prevent press mark formation, and using a trapezoidal forming roller for precise shaping without a shaping die, allowing for local heating to enhance processing intensity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the processing tool is separated from the plate immediately after reaching the outside edge of the formation target region, then the processing time is reduced, but a press mark is formed at the separation position

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing timeVSAvoidsurface quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The processing tool performs a preliminary action by applying a gentle pressing force just before separation to gradually reduce the depression depth, preventing the formation of a press mark at the separation position while minimizing additional processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The axial sending speed and pressing force of the processing tool are dynamically adjusted during the separation phase, reducing the pressing intensity as the tool approaches the outside edge to prevent press mark formation while maintaining efficient processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the processing tool is pressed against the plate at constant speed, then the processing efficiency is high, but a depression corresponding to the tool shape is formed at the separation position

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The processing tool transitions from constant speed pressing to variable speed pressing with reduced axial sending speed near the outside edge, dynamically adjusting parameters to prevent press marks while maintaining overall processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The axial sending speed and radial traveling speed are reduced when the processing tool is located in the vicinity of the outside edge, changing the processing parameters to prevent press mark formation while minimizing impact on productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If a shaping die is used in conventional spinning forming, then the forming precision is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The shaping die is extracted/removed from the spinning forming process, and the forming precision is maintained through alternative means such as controlled processing tool parameters and multi-stage processing without requiring expensive specialized tooling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The processing tool is designed to perform multiple forming operations without requiring a permanent shaping die, using a cost-effective approach that eliminates the need for expensive, specialized forming tools while maintaining acceptable precision through process control

AI summary

A spinning forming method is a method of forming a formation target region of a plate into a tapered shape by using a processing tool while rotating the plate. The processing tool is moved from an inside edge of the formation target region to an outside edge of the formation target region while being pressed against the plate. The plate is rotated in a state where a position of the processing tool is fixed at the outside edge.
