DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the processing method of the composite fan blade metal edge inner surface processing tool, the composite fan blade metal edge inner surface processing tool, comprising a metal edge 105 and a clamp body 15, the cross section of the metal edge 105 is U-shaped, one side of the metal edge 105 close to the center point is a processing surface, the other side of the metal edge 105 away from the center point is an electrochemical blank processed surface 2, a strip-shaped groove is formed on the clamp body 15 and matched with the metal edge 105, and the inner wall of the strip-shaped groove is a positioning surface 16;

[0040] The clamp body 15 is provided with a clamp air hole 12 on each side;

[0041] The clamp body 15 is provided with a support pin two 10 and a support pin one 14 at two ends, respectively.

[0042] Three groups of rectangular grooves are arranged on the inner walls of the two sides of the bar groove.

[0043] The processing method comprises the following steps:

[0044] First step: clamping, clamping the electrochemical machining blank 100 to the clamping body 15;

[0045] Second step: rough machining, semi-finishing and finishing of the electrochemical machining blank 100 clamped on the clamping body 15 to obtain the to-be-machined blank 103;

[0046] The steps of obtaining the to-be-machined blank 103 are as follows:

[0047] S1: connecting the process boss one 4 and the sleeve electrode 9 to the positive and negative poles of the electrochemical sleeve machining power source 200 respectively;

[0048] S2: the sleeve electrode 9 approaches the end face of the process boss two 5 from the sleeve machining cut-in 300 position, and at the same time, the sleeve machining electrolyte interface 8 flows out from the sleeve electrode 9, so that the electrochemical anode dissolution occurs at the end face of the process boss two 5, and the etched shape is similar to the end face of the sleeve electrode 9; when the sleeve electrode 9 moves to the sleeve machining cut-out 301 position along the sleeve movement track 11 at the electrochemical machining feeding speed (generally 1~3mm / min), the sleeve core body 101 is gradually machined out; in order to prevent the sleeve core body 101 from being deformed and drooping due to weight at the cut-in position, when the movement position of the sleeve electrode 9 exceeds the position of the process support hole two 3, the support pin two 10 is inserted and passes through the process support hole two 3;

[0049] S3: when the sleeve electrode 9 moves to the position exceeding the process support hole one 1, the support pin one 14 is inserted; when the sleeve electrode 9 continues to move to the sleeve machining cut-out 301 position and further cuts out from the process boss one 4, the complete sleeve core body 101 is separated from the electrochemical machining blank 100; the support pin one 14 and the support pin two 10 are taken out, the sleeve core body 101 is removed, the electrochemical sleeve machining is completed, and the electrochemical grinding blank 102 is generated;

[0050] S4: the positive pole of the electrochemical grinding power supply 201 is connected to the electrochemical grinding blank 102, and the negative pole is connected to the finger-shaped electrode 19. The rotating finger-shaped electrode 19 always has working liquid flowing out of the finger-shaped electrode liquid outlet 20 at a certain flow rate and pressure in the working state. When the electrochemical grinding power supply 201 is loaded to the positive and negative poles, and when the inner surface of the electrochemical grinding blank 102 approaches the finger-shaped electrode, electrochemical corrosion or a small amount of spark discharge will occur, and etching particles will be generated. The working liquid flowing out of the finger-shaped electrode liquid outlet 20 can flush the etching particles away from the corrosion or discharge area, and at the same time, it can cool the electrode and the workpiece. When the finger-shaped electrode 19 moves forward along the electrode movement trajectory one 22 to the electrochemical grinding cutting-out 501 position, the inner surface of one side of the electrochemical grinding blank 102 is gradually processed. When the electrochemical grinding cutting-out 501 position moves along the electrode movement trajectory two 23 to the electrochemical grinding cutting-in 502 position, the other side of the metal surface is processed. Thus, the prepared to-be-matted blank 103 is obtained, and the inner surface bottom groove 24 is completed by electrochemical forming processing or traditional milling processing. The electrode movement trajectory one 22 and the electrode movement trajectory two 23 can be reciprocating to process the two sides respectively, or zigzag or spiral to continuously alternate processing the two sides.

[0051] Step 3: preparing the finished part metal cover 105 by electrochemical corrosion processing 600.

[0052] The electrochemical corrosion processing 600 includes the following two methods:

[0053] The positive pole of the electrochemical corrosion parameter power supply 202 receives the process boss two 5 of the to-be-matted blank 103, and the negative pole receives the simple-shaped tool electrode 25. When the power supply is powered on, the tool electrode 25 traverses the two sides of the to-be-matted blank 103 according to a certain movement trajectory, and at the same time, the tool electrode 25 and the two sides of the to-be-matted blank 103 are filled with flowing electrochemical solution 26. In this way, under the action of electrochemical corrosion, the surface of the to-be-matted blank 103 produces a pit feature topography, and finally generates the electrochemical corrosion transition piece 104. The to-be-matted blank 103 is cut off by a wire cutting machine, and the parts of the process boss one 4 and the process boss two 5 of the electrochemical corrosion transition piece 104 are obtained. The finished part metal cover 105 is obtained.

[0054] A mask is coated on the surface of the to-be-roughened blank 103 before processing, and the non-processing surface is protected from corrosion. The mask has certain hole characteristics, so that the area under the surface of the coated to-be-roughened blank 103 corresponding to these hole characteristics is exposed to the electrochemical solution 26 during the electrochemical corrosion processing 600. The positive electrode of the electrochemical corrosion parameter power supply 202 is connected to the process boss two 5 of the to-be-roughened blank 103, and the negative electrode is connected to the tool electrode 25. When the power supply is powered on, the to-be-roughened blank 103 coated with the mask, the tool electrode 25 and the clamp body 15 are immersed in the flowing electrochemical solution 26, the surface of the to-be-roughened blank 103 produces a pit feature morphology, and finally generates the electrochemical corrosion transition piece 104. The two process bosses one 4 and the process boss two 5 of the electrochemical corrosion transition piece 104 are cut off by wire cutting, and the finished part metal cover 105 is obtained.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various modifications, substitutions, replacements and changes can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
