AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, when processing the inner cavity of the rear cover of the aircraft engine actuator, iron filings cannot be effectively eliminated, resulting in poor surface roughness of the inner cavity and long processing cycles, which affects production efficiency and product quality.
The processing is carried out using a combination of U-drilling and T-milling cutter. U-drilling is used to pre-drilling to remove wool residues, and T-milling cutters are used to remove spares and cut chips in the inner cavity. They use internally cooled cutting fluid to discharge chips to achieve continuous processing.
Through this method, the rear cover of 20 pieces of the actuator can be continuously processed, which significantly improves the processing efficiency, improves the roughness of the inner cavity surface by 1 to 2 levels, and increases the pass rate to 100%, solving the production bottleneck problem.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aero-engine actuator machining, and particularly relates to a machining method for the inner cavity of an actuator rear cover. Background Art
[0002] The actuator assembly of a certain type of aero-engine is an assembly installed at the engine convergent-divergent nozzle position for connecting the nozzle regulating vane, and the piston rod is driven by fuel pressure to adjust the nozzle size. It is a main component for the operation of the engine tail nozzle. The shape of the actuator rear cover in the actuator assembly is complex (as Figure 1 shown), which is a major difficulty in the machining of actuator parts. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the machining efficiency and quality of the actuator rear cover.
[0003] According to past machining experience, the main machining steps for the inner cavity of the actuator rear cover are: rough turning the end face - drilling - rough turning the cavity - finish turning the cavity. Since chip evacuation is impossible, these machining processes need to be completed on an ordinary lathe. The machining dimensions can only be ensured by the operator's manipulation method, and the part quality completely depends on the operator's skill level. Due to poor chip evacuation in the inner cavity, problems such as poor surface roughness and severe surface vibration marks occur, and the machining cycle of a single part is relatively long, which has always been the main bottleneck restricting the factory's production and delivery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a machining method for the inner cavity of an actuator rear cover. Using this technology can ensure smooth chip evacuation in the inner cavity, ensure that it is not necessary to stop the machine to remove iron chips, enable continuous machining, improve machining efficiency, and ensure part quality.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A machining method for the inner cavity of an actuator rear cover includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1, drilling
[0008] Use a U-drill for pre-drilling the bottom hole. Using a U-drill can quickly remove the stock allowance; the spindle speed is 1500 - 2000 r / min, and the machining allowance is 15 - 18 mm;
[0009] Step 2, milling the inner cavity
[0010] Use a T-slot milling cutter to machine the inner cavity of the rear cover. The T-slot milling cutter can remove a large amount of allowance in the inner cavity. At the same time, the T-slot milling cutter can break chips, and use internal coolant to discharge the broken chips in the inner cavity; the spindle speed is 300 - 500 r / min, and the machining allowance is 5 - 7 mm;
[0011] Step 3, turning the transition fillet R
[0012] Use a boring tool to machine the fillet R of the inner cavity transfer; the spindle speed is 1200 - 1500 r / min, and the machining allowance is 3 - 5 mm;
[0013] Step 4, machine the inner cavity
[0014] When machining the inner cavity, rough turning and finish turning are adopted, and the rough turning and finish turning processes are segmented. After each segment is machined, the corresponding turning tool is withdrawn, and then a T-shaped milling cutter is used to enter the inner cavity to clean the iron chips, ensuring that there are no continuously entangled iron chips in the inner cavity during machining. After cleaning, continue machining until the part meets the requirements of the drawing design; the rough machining spindle speed is 1000 - 1300 r / min, the machining allowance is 0.8 - 1.2 mm, and the tool feeds 0.5 mm and then retracts each time, and then a T-shaped milling cutter is used to clean the iron chips; the finish machining spindle speed is 1500 - 1800 r / min, and the feed rate is 0.17 mm / min. After finish machining to the size, retract the tool and then use a T-shaped milling cutter to clean the iron chips.
[0015] The specific content of step 4 is as follows: machine the inner cavity, retract the tool after rough machining the inner cavity, and withdraw the forming tool for machining the inner cavity; clean the iron chips, use a T-shaped milling cutter to break the iron chips in the inner cavity, and use the internal coolant of the T-shaped milling cutter to discharge the broken iron chips, and clean them up; then perform a rough turning cycle; then perform an iron chip cleaning cycle;
[0016] Machine the inner cavity, finish machine the inner cavity, and use a finish turning forming tool to complete the finish machining of the inner cavity; clean the iron chips, use a T-shaped milling cutter to break the iron chips in the inner cavity, and use the internal coolant of the T-shaped milling cutter to discharge the broken iron chips, and clean them up, and the machining is completed.
[0017] The machining allowance between rough turning and finish turning is 0.2 - 0.4 mm.
[0018] The cutting fluid used is emulsion.
[0019] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] A new processing method and technology are used to machine the actuator cylinder rear cover. By using new equipment and methods, the machining of the inner cavity of the actuator cylinder rear cover can be realized. It can realize the machining of 20 pieces continuously, and the machining time for each piece is about 10 minutes, greatly improving the machining efficiency. At the same time, the inner cavity profile of the part is finally machined once with a finish turning tool, and the inner cavity roughness is significantly improved; successfully solves the production bottleneck problem of the actuator cylinder rear cover, and improves the surface roughness of the inner cavity profile of the rear cover by 1 - 2 grades, greatly improving the machining efficiency; the machining efficiency and qualification rate of the part are significantly improved, and the qualification rate is increased from less than 60% to 100%. It provides new ideas for future machining and opens up a new machining method. Therefore, this manufacturing technology can be widely applied in the same industry field. Description of the Drawings

[0035] Rough turn the inner cavity. The spindle speed for rough machining is 1000 r / min. Feed 0.5 mm and then retract the feed. Withdraw the profiling tool for turning the inner cavity. Clean the iron chips. Use a T-slot milling cutter to break up the iron chips in the inner cavity, and use the internal coolant of the T-slot milling cutter to discharge the broken iron chips with emulsion. Clean them up completely. Then continue to turn the inner cavity. Feed 0.5 mm and then retract the feed. Withdraw the profiling tool for turning the inner cavity. Clean the iron chips.
