[0081] Processing principle:
[0082] The vacuum brazing method of the nozzle housing assembly described in the present invention, in terms of position control, for the sub-oil pipe welded to the nozzle housing, one end thereof needs to pass through the liner assembly 3 and insert into the inclined cylindrical hole of the nozzle housing, while the other end of the sub-oil pipe needs to control the length extending out of the nozzle housing; in the present invention, the liner assembly and the nozzle housing are fixed by using process tabs, and the exposed end of the sub-oil pipe is fixed to the nozzle housing, effectively ensuring the precise control of the position among the liner assembly, the nozzle housing and the sub-oil pipe; the mandrel is inserted into the bottom of the inner hole of the nozzle housing through the inclined cylindrical hole of the nozzle housing after passing through the liner assembly, realizing the precise positioning of the liner assembly, and further meeting the assembly position requirements of the subsequent sub-oil pipe in the nozzle housing; the exposed end of the sub-oil pipe and the nozzle housing are fixed by using a welding fixture, and the welding fixture is fixed to the sub-oil pipe and the nozzle housing by using energy storage spot welding, ensuring the length of the sub-oil pipe extending out of the nozzle housing and ensuring the assembly accuracy of the sub-oil pipe.
[0083] In terms of welding quality control, taking the brazing seam to be welded between the nozzle housing and the sub-oil pipe as an example, from the perspective of pure welding quality, the position where brazing is implemented is the intersection line generated by two cylinders that are inclined to each other and have different diameters, that is, the space available for filler metal to fill at the brazing seam to be welded is an inclined circular cylinder; after welding, it is necessary to drill and ream holes to remove the preset weld depth, and then check the weld quality through a seal test or an airtight test; to save costs, the defective weld position will be repaired by welding, and after repair welding, the seal test or the airtight test will be continued until the part inspection is qualified.

On the one hand, it acts as a support for placing the filler metal ring, and on the other hand, graphite can prevent the filler metal from flowing into the inner hole of the sub-oil pipe, thus realizing the repair welding of the part and reducing the production cost; while ensuring the welding quality of the part, the present invention meets the position requirements of the part assembly, and has important engineering application reference value for the processing and manufacturing of similar parts.
