Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of high-power spinning forming equipment and its peripheral supporting facilities, and in particular to a large-scale cylindrical active high-power flexible spinning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Large cylindrical bodies, as important supporting and storage structural components, are widely used in important industrial fields such as aerospace, weaponry, petrochemical transportation, and shipbuilding. These parts have stringent requirements for processing technology and manufacturing equipment. High-pressure spinning is currently the most advantageous process for manufacturing large, high-precision, high-quality seamless cylindrical bodies.

[0003] In the traditional mandrel spinning process, the blank is placed on the mandrel during the forming process. After the blank and the mandrel rotate with the spindle, the spinning wheel feeds the blank radially to a given position and then moves along the mandrel axis to gradually squeeze the blank and achieve cylinder forming.

[0004] The double-roller high-pressure spinning process uses an inner spinning wheel instead of a mandrel, allowing simultaneous processing of the inner and outer surfaces of the billet. The positions of the inner and outer spinning wheels can be adjusted according to the billet size to achieve the processing of cylinders of different specifications. The inventors previously proposed a double-roller active high-pressure flexible spinning process, which combines double-roller high-pressure spinning with skew rolling. This new process involves applying a power source to the inner and outer spinning wheels to make them actively rotate and cooperate with the spindle for cylinder processing.

[0005] Currently, existing high-power spinning processes and equipment have certain drawbacks when processing large thin-walled cylinders: (1) After traditional mandrel high-power spinning, the surface properties of the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder workpiece are inconsistent, and the large-diameter mandrel has high inertia and high cost, so it is not suitable for the processing and manufacturing of large and super-large cylinders. (2) The double-wheel high-power spinning process uses an inner spinning wheel instead of a mandrel, which causes the cylinder to lose the support of the mandrel during the processing, making it prone to instability during the processing, resulting in a limited wall thickness reduction rate during a single high-power spinning. (3) The German company MT designed and manufactured a four-wheel high-power spinning equipment (US4766752, US4951490). During the processing of this equipment, the cylinder workpiece rotates with the center line of the main shaft, and the inner and outer spinning wheels move along the axial and radial directions of the cylinder, respectively. The inner and outer spinning wheels and the spinning wheel frame need to be designed and arranged with corresponding power components and transmission systems, which are complex in structure and require high processing and assembly precision. The synchronous control of the axially moving inner and outer spinning wheels is difficult. In addition, the inner and outer spinning wheels of this equipment use a wedge self-locking mechanism for feeding, and the inner and outer spinning wheels cannot be fed during processing. (4) The inventors have previously proposed a wheel active power spinning equipment (CN110479837B, US11292045B2), in which both the inner and outer spinning wheel structures use cylindrical guides, resulting in poor equipment rigidity. Furthermore, the radial feed of the inner spinning wheel of this equipment is adjusted by a small stepper motor, which cannot feed during processing, resulting in insufficient overall processing flexibility. In addition, the inner spinning wheel of this equipment cannot rotate actively and cannot be matched with the active rotation of the outer spinning wheel. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The large cylindrical active high-power flexible spinning device 100 of the present invention includes a main spindle unit 2 with a main spindle turntable 202 that can fix the blank to be formed. A second driver 204 drives the main spindle turntable 202 to rotate, thereby realizing and driving the cylindrical blank to rotate. A first driver 203 drives the main spindle turntable 202 to slide axially. The main spindle platform 201 can drive the main spindle turntable 202 to reciprocate axially to complete axial feed. The inner column 102 provides guidance for the axial reciprocating movement of the main spindle platform 201.

Both the inner column 102 and the outer column 103 are connected to the base 101, ensuring the structural stability of the frame unit 1. The large-scale cylindrical active high-power flexible spinning equipment 100 of this invention utilizes the spindle unit 2 to achieve axial feed during the processing, avoiding the complex mechanical drive and transmission structures required for the axial movement of the inner and outer spinning components in the prior art. This reduces the difficulty of device processing and assembly, as well as equipment production costs, solves the problem of difficult multi-axis distributed synchronous control, and improves the processing accuracy of the device. Simultaneously, both the outer spinning wheel 301 and the inner spinning wheel 401 can rotate actively, improving the stress consistency of the inner and outer surfaces of the processed cylindrical part, increasing the single-pass thinning rate, and preventing instability of the cylindrical body during processing. The spindle unit 2, outer spinning unit 3, and inner spinning unit 4 of this invention utilize separate drivers to achieve feed, facilitating online adjustment and enabling the processing of various parts such as cylindrical bodies with variable wall thickness and cylinders with circumferential ribs, thus improving the flexibility of the device.

[0048] The main spindle platform 201 is slidably mounted on the outside of the inner column 102. A sliding bearing is provided between the main spindle platform 201 and the inner column 102 to ensure smooth reciprocating motion of the main spindle platform 201. In practical applications, to improve structural stability and facilitate the installation of the inner rotating disk 104, multiple inner columns 102 can be provided. The inner columns 102 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the main spindle platform 201. The first driver 203 is connected to a main spindle push screw 206, which is rotatably mounted between the base 101 and the inner rotating disk 104. The main spindle platform 201 is connected to... A main spindle push nut 207 is connected, and a main spindle push screw 206 is threadedly connected to the main spindle push nut 207. The main spindle push screw 206 and the main spindle push nut 207 form a screw-nut pair. The first driver 203 drives the main spindle push screw 206 to rotate, and then uses the main spindle push nut 207 to drive the main spindle platform 201 to slide back and forth. The inner rotating disk 104 also plays the role of limiting the extreme sliding position of the main spindle platform 201. In order to improve the reciprocating motion accuracy and force uniformity of the main spindle platform 201, multiple sets of main spindle push screws 206 and main spindle push nuts 207 can be set.

[0049] To further improve the sliding accuracy of the spindle platform 201, a slide rail 105 is provided on the side of the outer column 103 near the inner column 102. The spindle platform 201 has a slider 208 that is adapted to the slide rail 105. The slider 208 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 105, which improves the motion stability and reliability of the spindle platform 201.

[0050] Specifically, the second drive 204 is connected to a drive gear 209, and the main spindle turntable 202 is connected to a transmission gear 210, see details. Figure 4 The main spindle turntable 202 and the transmission gear 210 are coaxially arranged. The drive gear 209 meshes with the transmission gear 210. The second driver 204 uses the drive gear 209 to drive the transmission gear 210 to rotate, thereby driving the main spindle turntable 202 to rotate. The main spindle turntable 202 has a ring structure, and the inner column 102 passes through the hollow part of the main spindle turntable 202 to avoid affecting the rotation of the main spindle turntable 202. Correspondingly, the transmission gear 210 has a gear ring structure and is coaxially arranged with the main spindle turntable 202 to drive the cylindrical blank to rotate along its own axis. In this specific embodiment, there are three sets of drive gears 209, with the second driver 204 corresponding to each drive gear 209. The drive gears 209 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the transmission gear 210, further improving the uniformity of force distribution and the reliability of movement of the main spindle turntable 202.

Multiple sets of screw holes matching the fixing screws 211 are provided radially along the spindle turntable 202, facilitating adjustment of the relative position between the workpiece clamp 205 and the spindle turntable 202 to accommodate the fixing of cylindrical blanks of different specifications, thus improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device. To ensure the clamping stability of the cylindrical blank, multiple workpiece clamps 205 are used, evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the spindle turntable 202, improving the uniformity of force on the cylindrical blank and ensuring its clamping stability.

[0052] In this specific embodiment, the outer column 103 has a U-shaped through groove 106, and the outer rotating seat 302 is slidably disposed in the U-shaped through groove 106. The inner rotating disk 104 has a U-shaped groove 107, and the inner rotating seat 402 is slidably disposed in the U-shaped groove 107, which ensures the reliability of the movement of the outer rotating seat 302 and the inner rotating seat 402. In practical applications, self-lubricating copper plates are provided between the outer rotating seat 302 and the U-shaped through groove 106 and between the inner rotating seat 402 and the U-shaped groove 107 to form a sliding pair, ensuring the smooth reciprocating sliding of the outer rotating seat 302 and the inner rotating seat 402 and improving the radial feed reliability of the outer rotating wheel 301 and the inner rotating wheel 401.

[0053] More specifically, the outer rotating wheel 301 is connected to the outer rotating shaft 305, and the output end of the third driver 303 is connected to the outer rotating shaft 305 via a spline, see details. Figure 7 This ensures smooth torque transmission. The fourth driver 304 is connected to a stop 306, which is fixed to the outer column 103. The output end of the fourth driver 304 is connected to an external feed screw 307, and the external feed seat 302 is connected to an external feed nut 308. The external feed screw 307 and the external feed nut 308 are threadedly connected, forming a screw-nut pair to ensure smooth transmission of the output torque of the fourth driver 304. The fourth driver 304 can be a servo motor with a reducer. The external feed nut 308 can be embedded in the external feed seat 302 to save space. In practical applications, the third driver 303 can be fixed above the external feed seat 302 using an external motor mounting plate to drive the external wheel 301 to rotate.

[0054] Correspondingly, the inner rotating wheel 401 is connected to the inner rotating shaft 405. The output end of the fifth driver 403 is connected to the inner rotating shaft 405 via a spline, facilitating easy connection and ensuring smooth torque transmission. The output end of the sixth driver 404 is connected to the inner rotating feed worm 406. The end of the inner rotating feed worm 406 away from the sixth driver 404 is rotatably connected to the inner rotating disk 104. The inner rotating disk 104 is also connected to the inner rotating feed worm wheel 407, which is rotatably connected to the inner rotating disk 104. The sixth driver 404 uses the inner rotating feed worm 406 to drive the inner rotating feed worm wheel 407 to rotate. The inner rotating feed worm wheel 407 is connected to the inner rotating feed nut 409 and drives the inner rotating feed nut 409 to rotate. The inner rotating seat 402 is connected to an inner rotating feed screw 408. The inner rotating feed screw 408 and the inner rotating feed nut 409 are threaded together to form a screw-nut pair. The inner rotating feed nut 409 drives the inner rotating feed screw 408 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of reciprocating sliding radial feed of the inner rotating seat 402. The inner rotating feed nut 409 is embedded in the inner ring of the inner rotating feed worm gear 407. The inner rotating feed worm gear 407 and the inner rotating feed nut 409 are integrated parts, saving space in the mechanism and achieving power transmission within a limited space. It should also be noted that the sixth driver 404 can also be a servo motor with a reducer. The reducer and servo motor are fixedly mounted on the inner rotating disk 104 using the upper cover plate 410 and the lower cover plate 411. The fifth driver 403 can be fixed above the inner rotating seat 402 using a motor mounting plate, driving the inner rotating wheel 401 to rotate actively.

[0055] In addition, the frame unit 1 also includes an upper connecting beam 108 and a lower connecting beam 109. The outer column 103 is connected to the base 101 via the lower connecting beam 109, and adjacent outer columns 103 are connected via the upper connecting beam 108, which improves the structural strength of the frame unit 1 and ensures the overall structural stability of the device. The inner column 102 passes through the inner rotating disc 104 and is fixed by the fastening nut 110, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance. The frame unit 1 is a cage structure, which further improves the structural integrity of the frame unit 1 while ensuring the structural strength of the frame unit 1.

[0056] Furthermore, the large-bore active high-power flexible spinning device 100 of the present invention also includes a balancing unit 5, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 11The balancing unit 5 includes a pulley block 501, a steel cable 502, and a balance block 503. The pulley block 501 is mounted on the outer column 103. One end of the steel cable 502 is connected to the main spindle platform 201 via a lifting ring, and the other end of the steel cable 502 passes around the pulley block 501 and is connected to the balance block 503. This is used to balance the self-weight of the main spindle unit 2, further improving the structural stability and operational reliability of the device, ensuring the overall rigidity of the device, and thus improving the forming accuracy of the cylindrical parts. In practical applications, the number of balance blocks 503 can be adjusted according to the weight of the blank to accommodate the processing of cylindrical parts of various specifications. Correspondingly, the number of balancing units 5 can be consistent with the number of outer columns 103 or set according to actual needs. Multiple sets of balancing units 5 can be evenly distributed around the axis of the main spindle platform 201 to ensure the uniformity of force on the main spindle platform 201.

[0057] The large-scale cylindrical active high-strength flexible spinning equipment 100 of the present invention uses a main shaft unit 2 to replace the axial feed system of the inner and outer spinning wheels in the current high-strength flexible spinning equipment. This avoids the complex mechanical drive and transmission system required for the axial movement of multiple inner and outer spinning wheels, reduces the design, processing and assembly difficulty and equipment cost, avoids the problem of multi-axis distributed synchronous control, and improves the processing accuracy of the equipment. At the same time, the present invention uses an axially fixed method for the outer spinning unit 3 and the inner spinning unit 4. During the processing of cylindrical parts, the axial force on the equipment is balanced by the pre-tightening column of the machine body, which improves the rigidity of the equipment and improves the forming accuracy of the cylindrical body. In addition, the present invention uses a servo motor to drive the inner spinning wheel 401 and the outer spinning wheel 301 for radial feed. The inner spinning wheel 401 and the outer spinning wheel 301 can be adjusted online during the processing, which can realize the processing of various parts such as cylindrical bodies with variable wall thickness and cylindrical bodies with circumferential ribs, and improve the flexibility of the equipment.
