When the box piece is assembled into the box piece, only one side of a piece of the box piece is determined to be connected to one side of other box piece parts, and the shape of the box piece cannot be uniquely determined, and the box piece part must be transformed (eg: axis Symmetrical transformations, centrosymmetric transformations, rotations, shifts, etc.) Determine their relative position. As long as the first part is determined, after each subsequent part is selected, it is determined in sequence whether or not it needs to be transformed and the distance between the end of the edge of the part that is later connected to the cassette and the starting point of the side to which it is connected, and finally the composition can be uniquely determined. Box slice illustration.
The following is a brief introduction to the process of assembling the parts of the cassette with the example of Fig. 5 (triangular prismatic carton). (a) In order to call the adhesive edge in the library, (a) is y-axis symmetrically transformed as required (b); (c) is a part called from the library of cassettes to move the part and the adhesive Join together; the parts called in (c) are obtained by duplicating and splitting operation (d); (e) and (f) are used to call the box parts and swing wing parts in the parts library and put together; (f) The invoking swing wing part is first copied to obtain (g), and then the swing wing part is symmetric, moved, positioned, and finally spelled (h). Change the corresponding indentation line to a dotted line.
5 Summary
In this paper, the cassette and cassette parts are parameterized, and the user can adjust the parameters of the cassette and the cassette parts according to actual needs. The flattening technology is applied to the CAD system of the special-shaped box structure. The user can not only store the flattened box pieces into the magazine library, but also can directly call the box pieces in the magazine library to modify it. Adopting the method of designing the box-piece parts and assembling the box pieces not only reduces the complexity of the special-shaped box design, but also can deal with each box surface after being boxed separately, thereby creating advantageous conditions for decorating the carton in the next step.
