DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] In order to make the person skilled in the art to which the present application belongs more clearly understand the present application, the technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments in combination with the drawings.

[0063] In order to solve the technical problem that the combined cabin section with large axial size and variable radial size is prone to have stepped sections in the outer size, affecting the appearance of the combined cabin section, the embodiment of the present application provides a processing method of a combined cabin section, which is used for processing a combined cabin section with three cabin sections connected in sequence.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the length of the combined cabin section 800 is greater than or equal to 2500 mm, various sensors such as temperature sensors, speed sensors and thermocouples can be provided, the three cabin sections are an end head 810, a pre-measurement cabin section 820 and a post-measurement cabin section 830 connected in sequence, the end head 810 is provided with a pointed end, which can be duckbill-shaped, the axial length of the pre-measurement cabin section 820 is greater than or equal to 1000 mm, the pre-measurement cabin section 820 and the post-measurement cabin section 830 are both provided with through inner cavities, and the two inner cavities are in sequence communication.

[0065] The processing method of the combined cabin section 800 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0066] S1, respectively, three cabin segment blanks are initially processed to obtain three processed shells;

[0067] The three cabin segment blanks are initially processed to retain a certain amount of cutting of the outer surface, and the processing is simple and flexible. The three cabin segment blanks are stainless steel forgings, for example, the material can be selected as 20Cr13. The three stainless steel forgings can be in a solid solution treatment state, or a solid solution treatment step can be added after rough machining. The timing of the solid solution treatment is not limited by the present application.

[0068] In some embodiments, after the initial processing is completed, the outer surface of each of the three processed shells has a remaining cutting amount of 0.4-0.6 mm, and the overall assembled shell is machined to the design size during finishing. Since the total length of the three processed shells exceeds 2500 mm after pre-assembly, the total length is very long, and it is difficult to process the inner surface, therefore, after the initial processing is completed, the inner surface of the three processed shells is of the design size.

[0069] The specific process of initially processing the three cabin segment blanks will be introduced below:

[0070] The initial processing steps of the end head 810, which is the cabin segment located at the most end, can include:

[0071] Step 1: Rough machining of the outer surface and weight reduction groove of the end head 810; the outer surface of the end head 810 is machined according to the outer shape requirements, and the outer periphery of the end head 810 is provided with six surfaces. In other embodiments, the outer periphery of the end head 810 can also be provided with eight surfaces or other quantities, which are not limited by the present application. Rough machining of the outer surface of the end head 810 can include three steps. First, the outer surface is machined to a remaining cutting amount of 4-6 mm; please refer to Figure 3 A plurality of, for example, four or six process platforms 810a are machined on the end head 810 blank, and process holes are machined on the process platform 810a to facilitate clamping with the support clamp. The process platform 810a can be machined to the target size during rough machining, and one side of the process platform 810a in the thickness direction can be used as a reference surface for subsequent finishing, without the need to change the pressure plate 760. Secondly, the weight reduction groove is coarsely milled under the clamping action of the first support clamp 200, with a single-sided remaining cutting amount of 1-3 mm, wherein the process platform 810a can be used as a clamping reference and a sampling reference after turning over. Finally, aging treatment is performed to remove the stress generated during machining. The aging treatment can be natural aging or artificial aging. Please refer to Figure 3The first support clamp 200 comprises a first backing plate 210 and a plurality of groups of backing blocks which are spaced along the axial direction of the end head 810, each group of backing blocks comprising two first backing blocks 220 which are arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the number of the first backing blocks 220 being the same as the number of the process tables 810a of the end head 810, and the process table 810a being connected to the corresponding first backing block 220 by a threaded member which extends into the process hole.

[0072] Step 2: semi-finishing the outer profile surface and the large end surface of the end head 810 to a single-side remaining cutting amount of 0.4-0.6 mm;

[0073] The outer profile surface is processed to a single-side remaining cutting amount of 0.4-0.6 mm, which is the remaining amount for the overall cutting of the combined shell. The outer profile surface and the large end surface of the semi-finishing milling end head 810 can be used.

[0074] Step 3: finishing the weight-reducing groove and the large end surface to the design size;

[0075] The finishing can be performed by using a precision milling method to process the weight-reducing groove and the large end surface. In this step, at least four end surface holes can also be processed on the large end surface. The end surface holes can be provided with 8, 10, or other numbers. At least two of the end surface holes can be used as positioning holes to position the second support clamp 300, and then the second support clamp 300 is used to fix the end head 810 to remove the process table 810a. The remaining end surface holes except the positioning holes can be used as connecting holes to connect the second support clamp 300.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The second support clamp 300 comprises a first support plate 310 and a positioning member which is connected to the top surface of the first support plate 310. The positioning member is a positioning pin. The top surface of the first support plate 310 is a reference surface. The end head 810 is positioned by the positioning member on the top surface of the first support plate 310 through the positioning holes on the end surface. The end head 810 is connected to the first support plate 310 through the threaded members which extend into the connecting holes. The first support plate 310 is provided with threaded holes which are matched with T-shaped grooves of the workbench of the machining machine tool. The first support plate 310 is fixed to the workbench of the machining machine tool by bolts which extend into the threaded holes and the T-shaped grooves.

[0077] The preliminary machining of the measurement front cabin section 820 is as follows: the axial dimension of the measurement front cabin section 820 is very large, and the measurement front cabin section 820 is difficult to be machined as a whole. Therefore, the preliminary machining of the measurement front cabin section 820 is performed in two parts. The measurement front cabin section 820 comprises a lower shell 822 which has an opening on the peripheral surface and an upper shell 821 which is connected to the opening. The upper shell 821 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. The preliminary machining of the measurement front cabin section 820 comprises the preliminary machining of the upper shell 821 and the preliminary machining of the lower shell 822. The two parts are described below.

[0078] The preliminary machining step of the upper shell 821 includes:

[0079] Step 1: Rough machining the outer surface and the inner surface of the upper shell 821;

[0080] The inner surface here is the surface constituting the inner profile of the measurement front cabin section 820, and the outer surface is the surface constituting the outer profile of the measurement front cabin section 820. The rough machining stage can include, in sequence, a first rough machining, an aging treatment, and a second rough machining, to fully release the stress generated in the machining process and improve the machining efficiency. The first rough machining can use a large tool with a diameter of 20mm to 80mm, for example, a tool with a diameter of 32mm, and a large cutting amount, for example, a cutting depth of 0.5mm or more, to improve the machining efficiency. After the first rough machining is completed, the single-sided cutting residual amount of the outer surface and the inner surface can be 4mm to 6mm. During the first rough machining, multiple process platforms 821a, for example, 6 process platforms 821a, can also be machined. The process platforms 821a are machined to the target size in the rough machining, and one side of the process platform 821a in the thickness direction serves as a reference surface. In this way, the machining of the reference surface can be completed in one clamping without the need to reverse the pressure plate 760. The aging treatment can be natural aging or artificial aging. If natural aging is selected, the aging treatment time is ≥24h. The second rough machining can use a small tool with a diameter of 6mm to 16mm, for example, 12mm, and a small cutting amount, for example, 0.1mm to 0.5mm, for example, 0.3mm, to control the deformation. After this process is completed, the single-sided cutting residual amount of the inner surface and the outer surface is 1mm to 3mm.

[0081] The second rough machining can be performed by clamping and fixing with the first upper shell clamp 400. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first upper shell clamp 400 includes a second backing plate 410 and multiple groups of spacer blocks spaced along the axial direction of the end head 810. Each group of spacer blocks includes two second spacer blocks 420 arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The number of second spacer blocks 420 is the same as the number of process platforms 821a of the upper shell 821. The process platform 821a is connected to the corresponding second spacer block 420 through a threaded member extending into the process hole.

[0082] Step 2: Aging treatment, which can be natural aging ≥24h, to balance with the environment and detect the size and deformation.

[0083] Step 3: Semi-finishing machining the outer surface, the inner surface, and the side surface of the upper shell 821;

[0084] Considering the influence of deformation in the product finishing process, the processing amount should be reduced as much as possible, and sufficient allowance should be left. After semi-finishing, the outer surface, inner surface and side surface each leave a 0.5mm allowance. The side surface is the surface in contact with the opening of the lower shell 822. The semi-finishing step can also use the upper shell 821 clamp to clamp and fix the upper shell 821.

[0085] Step 4: Finish the side surface, each mounting hole and the assembly surface with the lower shell 822. The mounting hole has a sinking size matched with each to-be-mounted part.

[0086] The finishing stage can use the second upper shell clamp 500 to clamp and fix the shell. Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the second upper shell clamp 500 includes a third backing plate 510, a third backing block 520 and a pressing block 530. The third backing plate 510 is a conformal backing plate, which is arranged to protect the upper shell 821 during processing and has sufficient rigidity to avoid vibration. The third backing block 520 and the pressing block 530 are the same number and are correspondingly arranged. The third backing block 520 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of third backing blocks 520 are arranged around the outside of the upper shell 821. One end of the pressing block 530 is connected to the third backing block 520, and the other end is used to press on the upper shell 821. The to-be-mounted part matched with the sinking size of the mounting hole includes a mounting block 823 and various sensors, etc. The sinking size of the mounting hole for mounting the mounting block 823 is processed according to the measured value of the outer dimension of the mounting block 823, and meets the assembly clearance requirement of 0.05mm.

[0087] The preliminary processing steps of the lower shell 822 include:

[0088] Step 1: Roughly process the inner profile surface, outer profile surface, each end surface, end frame and opening of the lower shell 822.

[0089] The rough machining stage can include a first rough machining, an aging treatment and a second rough machining arranged in sequence. After the first rough machining, the single-side remaining cutting amount of the inner profile, the outer profile, the large end surface and the small end surface and the single-side remaining cutting amount of the end frame are all 4-6 mm. The first rough machining at the opening includes a concave surface. The first rough machining can also machine multiple process platforms 822a. The process platforms 822a can be multiple groups. Each group of process platforms 822a includes two process platforms 822a. The two process platforms 822a are located on both sides of the lower shell 822 in the width direction. The thickness center lines of the two process platforms 822a are coplanar with the symmetry plane of the center axis of the measurement front cabin section 820. The multiple groups of process platforms 822a are distributed along the axial direction of the lower shell 822. The upper surface and the lower surface of the process platform 822a in the thickness direction can be used as a process reference to realize the subsequent second rough machining and the finishing machining of the combined shell. The thickness center line of the process platform 822a can also be used as a reference to ensure the assembly accuracy of the other two machined shells and the measurement front cabin section 820. After the process platform 822a is machined, the outer profile of the back surface of the process platform 822a can be machined by using the lower shell clamp 600 for clamping and fixing. The single-side remaining cutting amount is 4-6 mm. The aging treatment can be natural aging to release stress and detect deformation.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 9 The lower shell clamp 600 includes a fourth backing plate 620 and a plurality of second support plates 610. The plurality of second support plates 610 are sequentially and spacedly connected to the fourth backing plate 620 along the axial direction of the lower shell 822. The second support plates 610 are provided with upward support surfaces in contact with the lower shell 822. The second support plates 610 are used to be connected to the process platforms 822a of the lower shell 822 through screws along both sides of the lower shell 822 in the width direction.

[0091] Step 2: aging treatment;

[0092] Step 3: semi-finishing machining of the outer profile, the end surfaces, the inner profile and the opening of the lower shell 822.

[0093] The semi-finishing machining can be semi-finishing milling. After the semi-finishing machining, the single-side remaining cutting amount of the outer profile, the two end surfaces and the inner profile is all 0.3-0.7 mm. The single-side remaining cutting amount of the fitting surface of the opening of the semi-finishing machining is 0.3-0.7 mm.

[0094] Step 4: finishing machining of the opening and the end surfaces of the lower shell 822. The size of the depression of the opening is matched with the size of the outer shape of the upper shell 821.

[0095] The finishing step can still be implemented by clamping and fixing the lower shell clamp 600, and the mating surface at the opening can be finely milled, and the sealing groove, end face hole, etc. can also be finely milled.

[0096] The preliminary processing step of the post-measurement cabin shell includes:

[0097] Step 1: Roughly processing each end face, inner profile and outer profile of the post-measurement cabin section 830

[0098] The rough processing includes a first rough processing, a first aging treatment, a second rough processing and a second aging treatment in sequence. The first rough processing is as follows: roughly milling the large end face and the small end face, processing the process pin hole and the process thread hole to one level smaller than the design drawing state, and the process pin hole and the process thread hole are used for clamping and processing the datum reference of the large end face and the small end face; the small end face is clamped with a tooling plate, the large end face faces upward, the inner profile is roughly milled to a uniform single side residual cutting amount of 4-6mm; the large end face is clamped with a tooling plate, the small end face faces upward, the tooling plate pin hole is used as a datum reference, and the outer profile is roughly milled to a single side residual cutting amount of 4-6mm. The first aging treatment can be natural aging or artificial aging, and when natural aging is selected for the aging treatment, the time is more than 48h, the stress is released, and the deformation amount is detected. The second rough processing is as follows: the large end face, the small end face, the inner profile and the outer profile are roughly milled to a single side residual cutting amount of 1-3mm. The second aging treatment can be natural aging, and the time is more than 48h.

[0099] Step 2: Semi-finish processing each end face, inner profile and outer profile of the post-measurement cabin section 830 to a single side residual cutting amount of 0.3-0.8mm;

[0100] Step 3: Finishing each end face and inner profile of the post-measurement cabin section 830 to the design size.

[0101] Specifically, the large end face, the small end face, the end face mounting hole and the sealing groove are finely milled to the design size, and the inner profile is finely milled to ensure the shape and position tolerance size of the inner profile and each hole system and hatch.

[0102] S2, pre-assemble three said processing shells to obtain a combined shell;

[0112] The finish machining is divided into two parts, that is, the outer shape surface of the combined shell is finish machined, and then the process platform 822a on the lower shell 822 of the measuring front cabin section 820 is removed. The process platform 822a is located on both sides of the lower shell 822 in the width direction, the connecting line of the two process platforms 822a of each group of process platforms 822a intersects the central axis of the lower shell 822, and the process platform 822a of the lower shell 822 is processed and removed individually, and the screw of the process platform 822a is loosened before each process platform 822a is processed.

[0114] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the mounting block 823 of the front cabin section 820 is provided with a plurality of through grooves 823a arranged at intervals. The gap between adjacent through grooves 823a on the mounting block 823 is very small, and the length reaches 300mm. The mounting block 823 with through grooves 823a can be processed by wire cutting, femtosecond laser processing, and 3D printing forming. The taper of the mounting block 823 processed by femtosecond laser is obvious, and the geometric size cannot reach the processing accuracy of the groove. Due to the depth, the bottom slag cannot be completely blown out, and a layer of slag will be formed at the bottom of the groove. The slag can be removed by cleaning in the later stage, but the appearance quality is poor. The surface quality of the mounting block 823 processed by 3D printing is poor, and the roughness is greater than Ra6.3. In some embodiments, the mounting block 823 is processed by wire cutting to form the through groove 823a. The wire used for wire cutting is molybdenum wire. The tensile strength of molybdenum wire is higher than that of copper wire, and it is not easy to break. Higher tensile strength ensures straighter cutting, which can better resist lateral force and bend less during processing. On the contrary, copper wire is more prone to bending. When processing a micro groove structure with a longer height, the quality of the slow wire cutting product is better near the two ends in the height direction, and the groove width size meets the requirements. However, the closer to the middle, the more serious the discharge due to bending, the groove width size becomes larger, and the groove distance size becomes smaller, which does not meet the design index. Through processing comparison and test results, it can be known that the micro groove size of the fast wire cutting product meets the requirements and the quality is stable, which can meet the design and use requirements.

[0115] The groove wall of the mounting block 823 is seriously oxidized after being processed by wire cutting. Kerosene can be used for cleaning and soaking, ultrasonic cleaning, and laser cleaning. In some embodiments, the combination scheme of ultrasonic cleaning + liquid sand blasting + ultrasonic cleaning is preferred. The combination scheme ensures the size of the product under the premise of removing the oxidation layer on the groove surface and inside the groove body, optimizes the apparent quality, and further removes the fine sand particles stuck in the groove body by using ultrasonic cleaning, so as to effectively remove the excess material. The combination scheme of ultrasonic cleaning + liquid sand blasting + ultrasonic cleaning achieves good surface cleaning effect and effectively improves the apparent quality of the product.

[0116] The processing of the mounting block 823 should be completed before the processing of the upper shell 821 of the front cabin section 820, so as to ensure that the sagging size of the upper shell 821 matches the mounting block 823.
