Intelligent Design Method and System of Tin Spraying Steel Mesh for Complex Combiner

Abstract

ABSTRACT In the process of spraying tin into the combiner cavity, employing the Tin Spraying Steel Mesh (TSSM) is crucial. This operation is akin to covering a complex, maze-like area with multiple islands and branches. Manual operation is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and challenging to ensure high-quality results. Therefore, this paper presents an intelligent design method and system for the TSSM, based on graphic processing. Initially, isolated islands are used as nodes to establish the topology structure of complex paths. Then, an improved Delaunay triangulation method is utilized to extract intermediate paths for regions with branching paths, resulting in the division into multiple single path regions. Following this, the island regions undergo equal arc length segmentation, while the single path regions are subjected to random bidirectional segmentation to obtain the final TSSM. Finally, a TSSM intelligent segmentation system is developed by seamlessly integrating this method into the AutoCAD software platform using ObjectARX technology. The TSSM obtained by this method meets the quality requirements, demonstrating consistent segmentation direction and uniform gaps. Furthermore, the system can adjust segmentation parameters to cater to different combiner specifications, thereby significantly improving design efficiency and establishing itself as an indispensable auxiliary tool in the automated design of combiners.
