The invention belongs to the field of rotation plastic
processing and discloses a method for flexible design of a spiral groove
skew rolling roller. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of firstly, setting and defining relevant parameters of a roller groove in 3D
modeling software; secondly, establishing a cylinder
solid feature through a stretching command with the base circle of the roller serving as the cross section outline; thirdly, establishing an initial
flange spiral trajectory and an outline cross section, and establishing an initial spiral
flange on the
solid cylindrical surface with the screw
pitch serving as the basic lead and the height serving as the
radius of the portion, with the largest cross section, of a rolled piece by scanning the initial
flange outline cross section along the
spiral trajectory; fourthly, obtaining flange heights at different groove positions and achieving the purpose that the height of the flange of the roller changes according to a designed change rule; fifthly, achieving the variable-lead geometrical transformation feature of the spiral groove of the roller; sixthly, finishing all the three-dimensional design of the
skew rolling roller. By the adoption of the method, a 3D
solid model of the roller can be generated quickly and accurately, flexible design of the roller is achieved, and design efficiency and accuracy are improved remarkably.
