Example 3
The embodiment provides a method for determining a feeding distance of a heating system and a loading system of a dynamic point heating incremental forming device, as shown in fig. 4-5:
the feed motion of the heating system and the loading system is divided into a vertical feed motion of the Z-axis and a horizontal feed motion of the X-axis or the Y-axis. The vertical feeding motion of the Z axis provides loading force for deformation of the workpiece 9, the vertical feeding distance of the Z axis determines the deformation amount of the workpiece 9 under the single impact action of the loading tool 10, and the larger the vertical feeding distance of the Z axis is, the larger the loading force required to be provided by the loading tool 10 is, and the larger the power of the linear servo electric cylinder 11 is; the horizontal feed motion of the X-axis or Y-axis provides the force required for the heating system and the loading system to move relative to the workpiece 9, and the horizontal feed distance of the X-axis or Y-axis is related to the effective deformation area of the workpiece 9 under the single loading action of the loading tool 10, the larger the horizontal feed distance of the X-axis or Y-axis is, the higher the forming efficiency is, and the smaller the horizontal feed distance of the X-axis or Y-axis is, the better the forming quality is, so that the horizontal feed distance of the X-axis or Y-axis should be selected as a compromise optimal value under the condition of comprehensively considering the forming efficiency and the forming quality.
As shown in fig. 4-5, A, B, C, D are four adjacent points to be formed, i.e., the point at which the loading tool 10 impacts the loading, and are also the points at which the axis of the high-energy particle-emitting tube 19 intersects the axis of the loading tool 10. When the head of the loading tool 10 is of hemispherical configuration, the effective forming area is circular. Assuming that the radius of the effective forming area is R, four circles with A, B, C, D as circle centers are four adjacent effective forming areas, the radius R is related to factors such as the vertical feeding distance of the Z axis, the material property, the heating temperature, and the like, and even forming of each point on the surface of the workpiece 9 can be ensured only when the horizontal feeding distance of the X axis or the Y axis of the heating system and the loading system is smaller than or equal to AB, BC, CD, or AD. The upper limit of the X-axis or Y-axis horizontal feeding distance of the heating system and the loading system is
It should be noted that, the specific structural design of the head of the loading tool 10 in the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, as long as the loading of the surface to be processed of the workpiece can be achieved, and when the head of the loading tool 10 has other structures such as a conical shape or a square cone shape, the upper limit of the horizontal feeding distance of the X-axis or the Y-axis of the heating system and the loading system is similar to the calculation method.
The principles and embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to specific examples, which are provided to facilitate understanding of the method and core ideas of the present invention; also, it is within the scope of the present invention to be modified by those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present teachings. In view of the foregoing, this description should not be construed as limiting the invention.
