Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tooling manufacturing and relates to a method for processing a hyperbolic milled skin. Background Art

[0002] Skin parts not only ensure the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, but are also important stress-bearing parts of the aircraft. Skin parts are generally large in size, complex in shape, thin and have poor rigidity. Aircraft skins have single curvature, but most are double curvature. In order to reduce weight, local thickness thinning is performed at locations where the skin parts are less stressed. Skin parts are usually made of 2A12 (usually about 2 to 4 mm). In actual processing, milling, chemical milling and other processing methods are usually used to form the groove structure.

[0003] The problems with the conventional processing currently used are: the milling processing method has a long processing time and low efficiency, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the openings and assembly holes on the skin. Chemical milling is usually widely used in single-curved skins, but for hyperbolic skin parts with large areas and large curvature changes, they must be processed in steps, which is inefficient; it increases the complexity of the process; and the shape needs to be repeatedly calibrated, which seriously affects the processing progress of hyperbolic skin chemical milling parts. In summary, a new processing method is needed to process hyperbolic chemical milled skins. The processing process needs to ensure the processing accuracy of the parts, improve efficiency, and shorten the processing cycle. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the present invention: In order to solve the above existing problems, the present invention provides a method for processing hyperbolic milled skin.
