Abstract:

The work presented in this paper focuses on several aspects of a new technology of rolling mold cavity modeling of the aero-engine compressor blade to adapt to the demand of rapid design and manufacture. A method is given to extract the section curves of a cold rolling blade based on the change of blade curvature in order to reduce the number of section curves while satisfying the accuracy requirements of mold cavity. Accordingly, a mapping algorithm is established for changing the spatial distribution of section curves so as to map them along with the roller surface and then fit these curves into mold cavity surfaces. Then the mold cavities are acquired by Boolean operations of rotators and cavity surfaces. Finally, a modeling system, using the general CAD software as platform, is developed by applying the above method. The study shows that the method is able to realize rapid modeling and the efficiency of rolling mold modeling is improved dramatically.
