Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of aviation parts manufacturing, and in particular to a method for processing aviation foam parts. Background Art
[0002] PMI (polymethacrylimide) has the characteristics of good wave transmission, high specific strength, good heat resistance, good photosensitivity, and excellent electrical insulation. The strength of PMI foam exceeds that of honeycomb core materials and PET foam, and its specific strength (strength / density) is also much greater than other non-metallic structural materials. The manufactured parts have the characteristics of high unit strength, good rigidity, and light weight. It is widely used in the key auxiliary fields of shock absorption and sound absorption between the skin and trusses of aviation fuselages and wings.
[0003] In the prior art, a certain aircraft PMI foam part has a trapezoidal cross-section and a single-peak structure, with a length of 2020mm×width of 50mm×height of 45mm, and is in the form of a long and thin strip. The peak part is prone to brittle fracture at the peak due to the large amount of cutting removal and excessive milling vibration. Single-piece processing has low production efficiency. If vacuum suction cups are used for clamping and processing, after milling, the stress release will cause the part to warp and deform, and even cause the part to be scrapped. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for processing aviation foam parts to solve the technical problems of brittle fracture of parts, low production efficiency and high production cost in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an aviation foam parts processing method, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. Arrangement: Arrange parts according to their maximum contour, arrange parts with the same height on the same foam blank, set the lower groove width to 15mm, and the process table thickness to 20mm;
[0007] S2, milling reference surface and anti-reverse angle, through hole: glue the blank to the machine tool workbench at intervals of 200mm around the blank, and the bonding range should not exceed 10×10mm; if the gap of the blank warping deformation is greater than 0.5mm, it is necessary to glue the process block on the side wall in the long direction of the blank; the top surface of the process block should be greater than 10mm away from the reference surface;
[0008] Drill 12 symmetrical through holes, of which 6 are reference holes and the other 6 are glue holes. The distance between the glue holes is 200mm. The process table and the workbench are bonded to ensure that the clamping force is dispersed to each supporting surface of the process table, reducing the risk of part cutting vibration and brittle fracture.
[0009] S3 finishing arc surface: The highest point of the arc surface of the part is 1mm away from the reference surface as the cutting point, and the area within 3mm of the maximum outer contour of the arc surface is reciprocated along the long direction of the surface to ensure that the reference surface provides stable support for the efficient rough machining cavity when using a smaller thickness blank;
[0010] After finishing the arc surface, use a tool slightly larger than the diameter of the glue hole to drill the glue hole. The drilling depth is to the bottom of the process table to remove the material in the adhesion area between the process table and the workbench to facilitate the disassembly of the parts.
[0011] S4. Rough machining of cavity surface: level the reference surface on the CNC machine tool, glue the process table and glue holes on the machine tool workbench at intervals of 200mm, and complete the workpiece clamping; use the solid hard end milling cutter specially used for the previous process for rough machining. The machining sequence is rough milling the right end bevel, rough milling the outer contour, and rough milling the process connection, leaving a uniform allowance of 2mm on one side.

[0022] S213, use an air gun to blow dry the glue, 1 minute for each hole;
[0023] S214, pressing the process table to check the adhesion between the workpiece and the workbench.

[0025] Furthermore, in S3, a solid hard end mill with a diameter of 12 mm and a tip radius of R1 mm is used for finishing the milling of the arc surface; the milling process uses a spindle speed of 12000 r / min and a feed speed of 20000 mm / min; the cutting width is 1.2 mm and the cutting depth is 25 mm; the drilling process uses a machine tool spindle speed of 3000 r / min and a feed speed of 200 mm / min.
[0026] Furthermore, the specific steps of rough machining the cavity surface in S4 are:

[0041] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, a method for processing aviation foam parts of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0043] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a method for processing aviation foam parts, comprising the following steps:

[0046] like Figure 2-3 As shown, 12 mutually symmetrical through holes are drilled, of which 6 through holes are reference holes and the other 6 through holes are glue holes. The distance between the glue holes is 200mm. The process table and the workbench are bonded to ensure that the clamping force is dispersed to each supporting surface of the process table, reducing the risk of part cutting vibration and brittle fracture.

[0064] Furthermore, in S3, a solid hard end mill with a diameter of 12 mm and a tip radius of R1 mm is used for finishing the milling of the arc surface; the milling process uses a spindle speed of 12000 r / min, a feed speed of 20000 mm / min, a cutting width of 1.2 mm, and a cutting depth of 25 mm; the drilling process uses a spindle speed of 3000 r / min and a feed speed of 200 mm / min.
