Example 1:
the process disclosed in this embodiment is further described with reference to fig. 1;
as shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a bidirectional extrusion molding process, which mainly includes 6 large modules, i.e., preprocessing, heating and feeding, bidirectional extrusion molding, curvature monitoring and feedback + online reshaping + online cooling + online secondary molding + profile temperature monitoring and feedback, online sizing and sawing, and postprocessing, in this order;
the two-way extrusion forming complete process comprises the following specific steps in sequence:
(1) and (4) pretreatment. The pretreatment is to treat the raw material, mainly comprises homogenization treatment and peeling of the cast ingot, and aims to obtain the raw material with uniform tissue structure.
(2) Heating and feeding. Heating includes heating of the billet, extrusion die, and extrusion barrel. Completing one extrusion requires heating both billets simultaneously. Feeding means that the two heated blanks are respectively fed into two extrusion barrels of the bidirectional extruder through a feeding mechanism or other modes.
(3) And (4) performing bidirectional extrusion forming. The bidirectional extrusion forming is that two extrusion mechanisms moving in opposite directions are adopted to extrude two heated blanks in opposite directions, and a bending component with variable curvature is formed at an outlet of a bidirectional extruder by regulating and controlling the extrusion speed and the speed ratio of the two extrusion mechanisms moving in opposite directions.
(4) The curvature monitoring and feedback is to measure the curvature of the extruded section on line and feed the measured result back to the control system, and the control system compares the actually measured curvature with the target curvature of the product and regulates, controls and corrects the curvature of the extruded section by adjusting the bidirectional extrusion speed in real time.
The online shape correction means that the shape of the extruded profile is precisely checked while the profile is extruded by a bidirectional extruder, so that the geometric dimension of the profile is consistent with the design dimension.
In-line cooling, which refers to cooling of the extruded profile in the case of a bi-directional extrusion process, is primarily aimed at inhibiting grain growth. For age-hardenable aluminum alloy profiles, the primary purpose of in-line cooling is also to bring the extruded profile material into a supersaturated solid solution state in preparation for subsequent aging.
In-line secondary molding is to perform secondary molding such as twisting and bending of a bent profile while extruding the profile by a bidirectional extruder, thereby realizing the production of a complex multi-dimensional bent profile.
The temperature monitoring and feedback refers to real-time monitoring of the temperature of the extruded profile and feedback to a control system, and the control system regulates and controls the temperature of the extruded profile by adjusting the extrusion speed according to requirements so as to ensure that the heat treatment conditions and the microstructure of the profile meet the requirements. The sequence of the five processes of curvature monitoring and feedback, in-line reshaping, in-line cooling, in-line post forming, and temperature monitoring and feedback can be varied and reduced depending on the specific requirements of the extruded product.
(5) And (6) performing on-line fixed length sawing. The on-line fixed-length sawing refers to fixed-length sawing of an extruded section while extruding according to the supply size of an extruded product.
(6) And (5) post-treatment. The post-treatment refers to the aging treatment, surface treatment and the like of the sawed section.

Taking the manufacturing of thin-wall Z-shaped beams and round pipe profiles of 6 series aluminum alloy bent profiles as an example, the specific implementation process and implementation effect of the embodiment are described as follows:
homogenizing the aluminum alloy cast ingot at 540 ℃ for 8 hours, and taking out for later use;
heating the extrusion die to 500 ℃ and preserving heat for 5 hours, and then putting the extrusion die into a front beam 6-007 of the extruder body; simultaneously heating an extrusion cylinder I6-005 and an extrusion cylinder II 6-006 in a bidirectional extruder body to 450 ℃ and preserving heat for 3 hours;
placing the homogenized aluminum alloy blanks I1 and II 2 into a blank heating furnace 3, heating to 530 ℃ and preserving heat for 10 minutes, and then sending the blanks into an extrusion cylinder I6-005 and an extrusion cylinder II 6-006 in a bidirectional extruder body through a feeding device I4 and a feeding device II 5;
the extrusion cylinder I6-001 and the extrusion cylinder II 6-002 in the extruder body push the extrusion rod I6-003 and the extrusion rod II 6-004 to move oppositely under the driving and controlling of the hydraulic pump station 6-008 and the control system 16, so that aluminum alloy blanks in the extrusion container I6-005 and the extrusion container II 6-006 are extruded; in the process, profiles with different curvatures can be obtained by changing the movement speeds of the extrusion rods I6-003 and the extrusion rods II 6-004 in the control system 16;
the aluminium alloy material is extruded from the outlet of the front beam 6-007 and may be formed into a curved profile 7.
Firstly, the bent section is straightened through a first group of rollers 8-001 of a straightness correcting system in an online straightening device 8, meanwhile, a curvature monitoring and feedback device measures the curvature of the bent section and feeds the curvature back to a control system 16, and if the difference between the measured curvature and the designed curvature is larger, the control system adjusts the movement speeds of an extrusion rod I6-003 and an extrusion rod II 6-004 to reduce the curvature deviation;
the control system 16 drives the roller sets 8-003 of the curvature correction system in the in-line straightening device 8 to the corresponding positions according to the size of the curved profile and performs fine shaping of the curvature of the curved profile. In the process, the roller groups 8-003 of the curvature correction system rotate at a rotating speed matched with the moving speed of the extruded section;
the temperature monitoring and feedback device measures the temperature of the section bar at different positions, and cools the section bar through the online cooling device before the temperature of the section bar is reduced to 515 ℃, so that the material is in a supersaturated solid solution state. If the temperature of the whole extruded section is lower than 515 ℃, the control system 16 increases the movement speed of the extrusion rods I6-003 and the extrusion rods II 6-004, but keeps the ratio of the speeds unchanged; the in-line secondary forming device can be selected according to the design requirements of products, and is not started in the embodiment.
The robot of the first group of saw cutting-traction systems 14 positioned at the front end of the extruded section bar clamps the section bar and moves along the motion track of the extruded section bar to play a role in traction; and a second group of sawing-traction systems 13 positioned at the rear end of the extruded profile moves to corresponding positions according to the length of the specified profile to clamp and saw the profile and simultaneously moves along the movement track of the extruded profile. When the second group of sawing-traction systems 13 finishes cutting, the first group of sawing-traction systems 14 starts to retract, moves to the position of next sawing to saw and traction the section bar, and repeats the process;
the resulting performance of the curved thin-walled Z-beams and bends according to the bi-directional extrusion tooling set-up process and apparatus described in this example are shown in figures 5 and 6, respectively.
