[0012] like Figures 1 to 5 The matrix-based high-efficiency machining method for small limiting structural components shown is applicable to the machining of two types of trapezoidal structural components with different lengths. The method includes... S1: Blank selection for matrix machining. This involves determining the CNC machine tool's milling interval, milling sequence, and cutter path based on the dimensions and quantity of the trapezoidal structural parts to be machined, and selecting bar stock of corresponding dimensions. The aim is to select suitable general-purpose bar stock specifications to maximize the number of parts that can be machined, thereby saving costs by replacing dedicated forging blanks with general-purpose bar stock machining. Furthermore, in this step, to ensure material hardness, a heat treatment process can be selected to achieve the required hardness and wear resistance.

[0013] S2: Clamping for matrix processing, wherein the outer circumferential surface of the bar is machined in an axial symmetry to form a clamping surface of a preset length, the clamping surface is positioned and compressed by a machine tool support plate and a pressing plate and is installed on the workbench of the numerical control machine tool. Specifically, to prevent the blank from rotating during machining and to achieve better positioning, a small plane is milled in each of the circumferential symmetry 180° directions of the bar in step S1, which is used for positioning and compression of the machine tool support plate and the pressing plate. Thus, the additional cost caused by manufacturing a special fixture can be avoided. When there is no suitable pressing plate, a vice can be used instead of compression.

[0014] S3: Longitudinal and transverse staggered one-time milling forming for matrix processing, wherein the stepped distributed inclined surfaces are milled, the axial angle between the inclined surfaces and the milling cutter is an acute angle, and the milling cutter adopts a longitudinal and transverse staggered tool path for processing, thereby forming a plurality of to-be-cut-off trapezoidal structural members on the end surface of the bar. Specifically, Milling the stepped distributed inclined surfaces includes: after the bar is fixed, rotating the workbench of the numerical control machine tool so that the axial angle between the milling cutter and the bar is 30°. Starting the milling cutter to mill on one end surface of the bar, and forming the stepped distributed inclined surfaces at intervals, the height difference of the inclined surfaces being a preset height to satisfy the ability to form trapezoidal parts of two length sizes, for example, the height difference between each row of inclined surfaces and the adjacent inclined surfaces of the stepped distributed inclined surfaces is 5 mm.

[0015] Milling the stepped distributed inclined surfaces by the milling cutter in a longitudinal and transverse staggered tool path includes: Rotating the workbench of the numerical control machine tool back to the original position so that the axis of the bar is parallel to the main shaft of the machine tool; As shown in Figure 5 The side and end horizontal milling of the stepped distributed inclined surfaces by the bar cutter, and the interval of the tool path satisfies: the sum of 2 times the radius of the bar cutter and the width of the trapezoidal part; The side and end vertical milling of the stepped distributed inclined surfaces by the bar cutter, and the interval of the tool path satisfies: the sum of 2 times the radius of the bar cutter and the height of the trapezoidal part, and the end point of the horizontal milling of the bar cutter is the starting point of the vertical milling of the bar cutter; The vertical milling of the bar cutter forms a plurality of two types of to-be-cut-off trapezoidal structural members on the end surface of the bar.

[0016] Further, the height dimension of the to-be-cut-off trapezoidal structural member has a margin of ±0.05, the width dimension of the to-be-cut-off trapezoidal structural member has a margin of ±0.05, the type of the bar cutter is φ12, and the two types of trapezoidal structural members include a trapezoidal structural member with a length of 10 mm and a trapezoidal structural member with a length of 5 mm.

[0017] S4: cutting the ladder-shaped structure from the bar stock to form a plurality of two types of ladder-shaped structure, to prevent the milling limit structure from splashing and being injured when cutting, using a disc cutter to process the part after step S3, along the length direction, cutting the small ladder-shaped structure from the bar stock to complete the part processing. In this step, when there is no suitable diameter disc cutter or the bar stock length is insufficient, line cutting and re-melting layer removal can also be used to ensure the final length and cutting surface roughness.

[0018] Referring to Figure 1 The two parts have the same height and width, for example, the small limit structure is a right-angled ladder-shaped structure, with two specifications of 5mm and 10mm in length, 3mm in width, and 4.4mm in height, the ladder-shaped acute angle side has an angle of 60 degrees, the width direction needs to be R1, the minimum tolerance is ±0.05, the part size and tolerance are relatively small. Moreover, the material is a high-temperature alloy, which is difficult to cut, and sufficient cutting force of the tool needs to be ensured based on precise machining of the required structure. In addition, in terms of cost, the structure needs to be welded and assembled in the outer ring groove of the whole blade ring for limiting, and 10 pieces of each of the two specifications of 5mm and 10mm are required for a single machine, with small batch size, which needs to be produced in batches with low investment and high efficiency to meet the assembly requirements. Specifically, 1. The blank selection for matrix processing considers the processing cycle and blank cost, and directly uses a bar stock as the blank. Since the limit structure has a round corner in the width and height directions that needs to be milled out, the length direction of the part is kept consistent with the axial direction of the bar stock, and since batch processing of multiple parts needs to be achieved at one time, the diameter of the selected bar stock should be related to the height, width, and number of limit structures, and the length of the bar stock should be related to the length and number of limit structures. Since the material hardness is relatively high, we consider using a bar cutter with the smallest diameter φ12 that meets the tool rigidity to mill a sufficient number of parts at one time, and the bar stock with a diameter of φ120mm is selected.

[0019] 2. Referring to Figure 2 As shown, the clamping and pre-processing method for matrix processing considers that the length of the bar stock needs to be clamped by 40mm, exposed by 10mm, and can be repeatedly milled, and the length of the bar stock is positioned by 75mm. The material is consistent with the limit structure, which is a high-temperature alloy, and is heat treated once to ensure hardness. To prevent rotation during processing and better positioning, a small plane with a width of about 48mm is milled on the bar stock surface in the direction of 180° symmetry for positioning and pressing by the machine tool bed and pressing plate. The length direction of the bar stock is positioned by the non-processing end.

[0020] 3. The longitudinal and transverse interlaced one-time milling forming method for matrix processing considers the structure of the limit structure to mill more surfaces at one time to ensure the relative size of most surfaces, and considers processing on a horizontal milling machine with a rotary table according to the following steps: Referring toFigure 3 (1) After the bar is clamped and pre-processed in step 2, rotate the workbench of the horizontal machining equipment to make the milling cutter and the part form a 30° angle, start the milling cutter to mill the end face of the bar to form a ladder-shaped distribution of bevels, ensuring that two length sizes of trapezoidal parts can be formed. For example, the height of the first row of bevels is 15 mm, the height of the second row of bevels is 10 mm, the height of the third row of bevels is 15 mm, and the height of the fourth row of bevels is 10 mm. Preferably, the length direction size of the part is processed to form a ladder-shaped distribution of bevels. It should be noted that in this step, in order to process two size structures at one time, a variety of height step processing strategies can be used, that is, according to the different height sizes of the processed parts, the height of the adjacent ladder faces after processing is different.

[0021] (2) After the workbench of the horizontal machining equipment is rotated by 30° (returns to the initial state), the bar axis is parallel to the machine tool spindle, and then a φ12 bar cutter is used to process in a longitudinal and transverse staggered tool path (the side toughness of the φ12 bar cutter is used to horizontally mill the ladder-shaped distribution of bevels, and the side toughness of the φ12 bar cutter is used to vertically mill the ladder-shaped distribution of bevels. When the side toughness of the φ12 bar cutter is horizontally milled, the interval of the multiple tracks satisfies: the sum of 2 times the radius of the φ12 bar cutter and the width of the trapezoidal part; when the side toughness of the φ12 bar cutter is vertically milled, the interval of the multiple tracks satisfies: the sum of 2 times the radius of the φ12 bar cutter and the height of the trapezoidal part (according to the milling process, the end point of horizontal milling is the starting point of vertical milling); uniform formation of the to-be-cut trapezoidal structure on the end face of the bar, see Figure 4 For example, the first row is a 15 mm length cut-off trapezoidal structure, the second row is a 10 mm length cut-off trapezoidal structure, the third row is a 15 mm length cut-off trapezoidal structure, and the fourth row is a 10 mm length cut-off trapezoidal structure, which are distributed at regular intervals. The height and width of the processed trapezoidal structure are 4, and the height size of the to-be-cut trapezoidal structure is 4.4±0.05, and the width size of the to-be-cut trapezoidal structure is 3±0.05. For different length limit structure milling, a step processing strategy can be used to improve efficiency.

[0022] (3) Repeat the rounding of each limit to-be-cut trapezoidal structure through a macro program.

[0023] 4. All to-be-cut trapezoidal structures are cut from the end face of the bar to prevent the limit structure from being cut off and splashing during milling. Use the disc cutter to process the part after step (3), along the length direction, to cut off the small trapezoidal structure from the bar to complete the part processing. In this step, when there is no suitable diameter disc cutter or the length of the bar is insufficient, a wire cutting method can also be used to cut off and remove the re-melted layer to ensure the final length and cutting surface roughness.

[0024] The product provided by the present application is described in detail above. The principle and implementation mode of the present application are described by applying specific examples in this paper, and the above description of the examples is only used to help understand the core idea of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and modifications can be made to the present application without departing from the principle of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the present application.
