[0001] The present invention belongs to mechanical processing technology and relates to a device and method for processing holes on the circumference of an intake duct connecting flange. Background Art
[0002] In the assembly of helicopter structures, connecting flanges are widely used. The connecting flanges are made of 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel (forgings). They are thin-walled stainless steel parts and are important exhaust components of the air intake. Their maximum dimensions are φ354.8mm×25.5mm. The structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. On the circumference of the connecting flange, there are two rows of vent holes φ20 +0.1 mm, a total of 24 places; there is a row of rivet holes φ2mm in the middle of the two rows of ventilation holes, a total of 17 places.

[0008] The step drill sleeve is made of tool steel and has a drill sleeve through hole at its axis.
[0009] The circumference of the drilling template is provided with three rows of 41 positioning holes in total, which have the same relative positions and relative angles as the holes on the circumference of the connecting flange.
[0010] The drilling jig is provided with a stepped outer circle, and a positioning groove is provided on the circumference of the stepped outer circle for installing a positioning block; the connecting flange is installed on the stepped outer circle of the drilling jig through the positioning block and fits with the bottom surface of the step; a circle of chip removal ring groove is provided on the circumference of the stepped outer circle for removing chips when the connecting flange processes the circumferential holes; seventeen arc-shaped notches are provided on the circumference of the stepped outer circle for preventing burrs on the circumferential holes of the connecting flange from scratching parts and tooling when the connecting flange is removed after processing.
[0011] The hole spacing between the positioning holes on the circumference of the drilling template and the corresponding holes on the circumference after the connecting flange is positioned and installed is the same as the hole spacing between the pin holes and the through holes of the drill sleeve.
[0012] A bushing mounting hole is provided at the center of the drilling jig for interference mounting of a copper bushing.
[0013] The end face of the drilling template is provided with four circumferentially evenly distributed threaded holes a and four circumferentially evenly distributed threaded holes b.

[0023] Beneficial Technical Effects: Using the processing device and method described in this invention, the circumferential holes of a product can be drilled on a bench drill instead of using a five-axis CNC machine tool for drilling. The resulting circumferential holes of the connecting flange meet the required dimensional accuracy, relative position, and relative angle, ensuring stable quality. This significantly reduces the time required for part clamping, alignment, programming, and machining, significantly improving part machining efficiency and saving machining costs. The fixture device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, enabling reasonable and reliable positioning and clamping of parts, reducing operator complexity and meeting mass production requirements.
