[0048] The spiral support device includes a fixed support end 32, the end surface of one end of the fixed support end 32 is a fixed end profiling support surface 33, and the other end is provided with a groove, a sliding support end 34 is installed in the groove, the end surface of the sliding support end 34 is a sliding end profiling support surface 39, a wedge-shaped slider 35 is slidably installed in the sliding support end 34, and a spring II 36 is installed between the sliding support end 34 and the wedge-shaped slider 35, the wedge-shaped slider 35 is connected to a driving device screwed on the fixed support end 32, in this embodiment, the driving device is a tensioning screw 40, in the working state, the wedge-shaped slider 35 of the rotating driving device moves inward along the groove of the sliding support end 34, pushing the sliding end profiling support surface to move outward; in the non-working state, the reverse rotating driving device moves the wedge-shaped slider 35 outward along the groove of the sliding support end 34, and at the same time, the sliding support end 34 is retracted into the groove under the action of the elastic force of the spring II 36;

[0052] Step 6: Follow the instructions in the attached Fig. 9 As shown in the simplified diagram of the part structure, first select a theoretical straight line on the upper part of the blade to preliminarily determine the angular zero point, and then select typical dimensions along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions on the part to verify the coordinate position:

[0053] Step 6.1, use a dial indicator to check the thickness dimension T0 in the X-axis direction. If the actual measured dimension T1 is different from the theoretical value T0, adjust the X-direction machining coordinate system so that the allowance distribution along the X+ and X-coordinate directions is relatively uniform;

[0054] Step 6.2, use a dial indicator to check the thickness dimension S0 in the Y-axis direction.

After the coordinate offset, the machining coordinate system can make the margin distribution along the Z circumferential direction relatively uniform;

[0056] Step 7: After determining the coordinate system, the part is milled. There are three types of processing parts for this part, and the milling strategies for the three parts are:

[0057] Step 7.1: Processing the blade end surface: Use The milling cutter processes the blade end face, and the cutting thickness of each layer is no more than 1mm, which can effectively reduce the cutting force and vibration;

[0058] Step 7.2: Machining the sidewall profile: Use The milling cutter processes the side wall profile, and the cutting thickness of each layer is no more than 0.5mm, which can effectively reduce cutting force and vibration;

[0059] Step 7.3: Processing the inner shape of the island

[0060] Step 7.3.1: Drill with a feed rate less than 100 mm / min and control the cutting force in the Y-axis direction;

[0061] Step 7.3.2: The milling cutter is spirally enlarged, the feed is less than 200 mm / min, and the cutting force in the Y-axis direction is controlled;

[0062] Step 7.3.3, the milling cutter mills the inner contour, reduces the tool overhang length, controls the amount of cutter clearance, and ensures the finished size of the part.

[0063] Through the above operations, the large-scale thin-walled hollow blade-shaped parts cast can be accurately clamped, aligned and positioned, and the milling of the parts can be completed with high quality. This operation method can greatly reduce the deformation of the thin-walled parts during the positioning and clamping process, effectively reduce the vibration during the milling process, improve the alignment and processing accuracy of the parts, and greatly improve the product processing quality and qualified rate.
