Description

A PROCESSING PLATFORM FOR MULTI-ANGLE DOUBLE-SIDED INCREMENTAL SHEET FORMING WITH DISPLACEMENT COMPENSATION FUNCTION TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention belongs to the field of metal sheet processing, and specifically relates to
a processing platform for multi-angle double-sided incremental sheet forming with displacement
compensation function.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of processing technology and the rapid
development of social productivity, metal sheet forming parts in aerospace, marine and other
high-tech fields have been more widely used. Especially in the manufacturing of aircraft, spacecraft,
high-end weapons and equipment, aircraft carriers, cruise ships and prototypes, there has put
forward higher requirements for the quality of complex-shaped thin-walled sheet products with high
performance, lightweight and batch changeable, so that the existing forming technology has been
challenged. Three-dimensional incremental forming technology can realize small-lot, personalized
customization and complete the forming of sheets without custom molds, which helps reduce the
production cost of small-lot products.
The inventors found that the process of metal sheet processing will encounter the processing
needs of the target part with a large forming angle, in which case the metal sheet in the area to be
processed will interfere with the motion of the forming tool, resulting in the tool not being able to
reach the predetermined position and thus failing to complete the processing task. In modern
production practice, parts in such cases cannot be formed in a single operation and must be
machined twice, which seriously affects machining efficiency and production economy. Although
Dongkai XU, Bin LU and Jun CHEN of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have proposed a method of
rotating sheets to improve the forming accuracy and reliability of forming complex sheets in their
patent of CN103639249A, which is relatively difficult to achieve the rotation of sheets; however,
the present invention achieves the purpose above by controlling the deflection of the forming tool with a simple device and increasing the deflection angle of the forming tool with respect to the sheets.
