Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of precision hole machining, in particular to a precision positioning hole machining method for an aero-engine central transmission frame. BACKGROUND

[0002] The central transmission frame, an important part of an aero-engine, needs to take the steel sleeve hole as a reference to machine a precision positioning hole to ensure the hole position degree. In the past, in the grinding process, the grinding of the reference steel sleeve hole needs to ensure a certain positioning hole position degree, and the positioning hole fine boring needs to be adjusted according to the three-coordinate measurement of the grinding process, which is prone to errors and problems such as adjustment of the processing direction offsetting the direction and reversing the direction.

[0003] The above-mentioned traditional processing strategy is as follows: first, grinding the steel sleeve hole to ensure the positioning hole position degree of the steel sleeve reference hole; second, disassembling the part, sending it to the three-coordinate measurement, recording the measurement results, and then installing the part on the precision boring machine to fine bore the hole in the subsequent fine boring process, manually analyzing the measurement results, adjusting the coordinate processing according to the coordinate deviation, and ensuring the positioning hole position degree. Since the measurement results need to be manually judged, errors are prone to occur, and the grinding process requires high skills. The part needs to be clamped twice and measured twice during the boring of the positioning hole, and the auxiliary time is long. The part needs to be 100% measured, and the processing efficiency is low, the value-added value is high, and the processing quality is poor. The grinding flowchart in the traditional processing flow is shown in the accompanying drawings, and the boring flowchart is shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 Figure 2

[0004] Patent No. CN112405122A discloses a high-precision machining method for a center transmission shell bearing hole group of an engine, which includes the following steps: S1, completing the initial clamping of the engine center shell in the precision five-axis machining center; the engine center transmission shell includes a center circle, two chromium-plated bearing holes arranged on both sides of the center circle, and a non-chromium-plated bearing hole located above one of the chromium-plated bearing holes; the plane where the bottom of the chromium-plated bearing hole is located is taken as the Z-direction reference of the machining coordinate system, and the axis of the center circle is taken as the origin and Z-axis direction of the machining coordinate system; S2, determining the accurate position of the engine center transmission shell in the precision five-axis machining center through in-machine measurement; S3, establishing the machining coordinate system of the engine center transmission shell in the precision five-axis machining center; S4, grinding the chromium-plated bearing hole; and S5, boring the non-chromium-plated bearing hole. The present application has the advantages of ensuring the quality stability of the machining of the center transmission shell bearing hole group, improving the processing efficiency, and enabling mass production. Although this patent is also aimed at machining the part hole system on the aero-engine to ensure the position degree, its technical solution is to machine the bearing hole by using the precision five-axis machining center, which has high processing cost and is not suitable for machining the precision positioning hole on the above-mentioned central transmission frame.

[0005] ​​A bearing support bushing hole machining method is disclosed in patent CN115647854A. The side surface of the base away from the bushing hole is taken as the reference end surface A surface. After the remaining surfaces of the bearing support are finished and the part fixing position is converted, the first bushing hole and the reference end surface A surface are finished. The reference end surface A surface is processed first, then calibrated, the center axis of the first bushing hole is reset, and the first bushing hole is precisely bored to ensure the stability of the distance from the center axis of the first bushing hole to the reference end surface A surface, thereby ensuring the position degree of the first bushing hole of the part. The patent also has multiple calibration and measurement operations during the machining process of the bushing hole, and requires 100% measurement, which cannot solve the problem of precise positioning hole machining mentioned above.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] An aero-engine central transmission frame precision positioning hole hole position processing method, the central transmission frame has a steel sleeve hole and an axial inner hole, the precision positioning hole is referenced to the steel sleeve hole to ensure the position degree, comprising the following steps:

[0043] S1. Grinding two steel sleeve holes, both steel sleeve holes are once ground to size, the specific grinding process is shown in Figure 2 , grinding one steel sleeve hole first, and then grinding the other steel sleeve hole after rotating the two pieces by 180 degrees. In this processing method, the grinding process can cancel the position degree requirement at two places of the steel sleeve hole compared with the traditional grinding, and there is no need to measure Figure 1 The actual coordinates of the W reference precision positioning hole and record the coordinate values.

[0044] S2. The jig (see embodiment 2) is used to clamp the central transmission frame part for precision positioning hole boring processing, and the boring processing flow is shown in Figure 3 , which specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] S21. Before processing, align the clamping support surface to make the support surface runout not greater than 0.01;

[0046] S22. Align the two steel sleeve hole axes to make the runout not greater than 0.01, and realize angular positioning;

[0047] S23. Find the axial inner hole H reference hole (see Figure 1 )jump is not greater than 0.01;

[0048] S24. Boring precision positioning hole and measurement, this step only needs to measure the part, and each batch of parts only needs to measure the first, middle and last three parts, the measurement content is Figure 1 The position of the two steel sleeve holes relative to the W reference precision positioning hole. From Figure 1 It can be seen that the W reference corresponds to the precision positioning hole, and the precision positioning hole is located at the large end of the central transmission frame.

[0049] Among them, S21, S22 and S23 ensure that the three jump amounts are consistent. When machining the precision positioning hole, the steel sleeve hole is checked by the clamp, and there is no need to find the right or three-coordinate auxiliary measurement. The precision positioning hole can be machined in one step, and it can also meet the technical requirements.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the clamp mentioned in S2 of example 1 includes a mounting seat 1, which is provided with an axial hole 11 for mounting the part. A through hole is formed in the side wall of the mounting seat 1, and a guide seat 2 is mounted in the through hole. The guide seat 2 is fixed on the mounting seat 1 by screws. The guide seat 2 has an inner hole, and a dial rod 3 is slidably penetrated in the inner hole. One end of the dial rod is provided with a dial gauge (the dial clamp 31 for mounting the dial gauge is shown in Figure 4 , and the other end is provided with a probe 32. The probe 32 and the dial gauge work together. The working linkage of the probe on the dial rod and the dial gauge refers to the structure and principle of the inside diameter lever dial gauge. The dial rod 3 can move axially along the axis of the inner hole of the guide seat 2 so that the end of the dial rod with the probe 32 enters the two steel sleeve holes of the central transmission frame in turn. When the part needs to be placed in the clamp for clamping, as shown in Figure 4 , the dial rod 3 is moved right along the inner hole of the guide seat 2, so that the end of the dial rod with the probe 32 enters the inner hole of the guide seat 2, so that the part can be smoothly placed in the axial hole 11 of the mounting seat. Then the dial rod 3 is moved left along the inner hole of the guide seat 2, so that the end of the dial rod with the probe 32 enters the two steel sleeve holes of the part in turn. The probe 32 detects the axial jump of the two steel sleeve holes and feeds back to the dial gauge.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4 , a groove 33 is formed in the length direction of the dial rod 3, and a screw or pin 34 is arranged at the corresponding position of the groove on the guide seat 2. The end of the screw or pin is embedded in the groove, so as to guide the movement of the dial rod 3 in the guide seat 2 and prevent the dial rod 3 from being offset circumferentially to cause jump error.

[0053] In order to facilitate the parts into the mounting seat and smoothly carry out the stable processing of the precision positioning hole, the mounting seat is further provided with a pressing mechanism 4 for pressing the end face of the part. The pressing mechanism can be a conventional combination of a movable pressing block and a screw.

[0054] The clamp of the embodiment mainly straightens two steel sleeve holes of the part through the surface rod, and then aligns the axial hole of the part. The detailed operation is as follows:

[0055] In order to ensure Figure 1 The position degree of the precision positioning hole of the two steel sleeve holes And The position degree of the precision positioning hole The clamp adopts the surface rod to angularly position the two steel sleeve holes. The surface rod has two functions. Firstly, it is convenient to align the clamp (corresponding to S21 in embodiment 1). When clamping the clamp, the surface rod is straightened to make the clamp and the machine tool workbench form a unified axis, thereby achieving the purpose of angularly positioning the clamp. Specifically, the end of the surface rod with a measuring head is withdrawn from the axial hole of the mounting seat and enters the inner hole of the guide seat. Then, a lever dial gauge is installed on the machine tool spindle, and the dial gauge is set on the outer circle of the surface rod to determine the runout of the outer circle of the surface rod. The runout is not greater than 0.01, and the clamp is straightened. Secondly, it is convenient to align the part. After the part is clamped in place in the mounting seat, the surface rod is moved to the left, the end of the surface rod with a measuring head is inserted into the steel sleeve hole, and the angular reference of the part is aligned with the machine tool coordinates by means of the measuring head on the surface rod and the dial gauge. During operation, the part is adjusted to be in the same straight line by contacting the measuring head with the steel sleeve hole and dragging the surface rod by the dial gauge, so that the error is within 0.01 mm. The function of the surface rod is to confirm whether the axis of the surface rod is consistent with the axes of the two steel sleeve holes, and finally the axes of the machine tool, the clamp and the part are consistent. After that, the pressing mechanism presses the part to process the precision positioning hole, thereby fully ensuring the related position degree requirements.

[0056] The right limit position of the above-mentioned surface rod is sufficient to put the part into the mounting seat. The left limit position is that the end of the surface rod with a measuring head can enter the end of the second steel sleeve hole.

[0057] The processing method can greatly improve the efficiency and shorten the measurement time, and can significantly improve the product quality. According to statistics, it takes 2-3 days to process a batch of parts using the traditional processing method, and the direction is easy to adjust during the processing process, which leads to frequent quality problems. However, now it only takes 4 hours to process a batch, and an average of 10 minutes per part. Because the clamp shown in embodiment 2 is used, the mistake-proofing effect is significantly improved, and the occurrence of unqualified products is fully avoided.

[0058] The machining method has been process solidified, and in view of the machining of more than 200 parts in multiple batches, the process is stable, the machining efficiency is improved, the detection time is greatly reduced, the long-term technical bottleneck is broken through, and the requirements of part production and machining are met.

[0059] It should be noted that: Figure 1 The medium size is only used as an example and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the present patent.

[0060] Comparative Example 1

[0061] Figure 6 The size of the central transmission frame before the improvement of precise positioning hole machining is shown in the schematic diagram, Figure 7 and Figure 8 The traditional grinding and boring process is shown.

[0062] Figure 7 In the grinding, the measurement requirements are: taking N reference as the plane reference; G-H reference is dragged straight to center; the center A-C reference of the two steel sleeves is dragged straight to the angular direction Y, the actual coordinates of the W reference small hole are measured and the measured values are recorded. Each part in the grinding process needs 100% measurement.

[0063] Figure 8 In the boring, the coordinate value offset position is adjusted according to the coordinate value measured in the grinding process. Each batch in the boring process needs 100% measurement, and each part needs to be measured twice.

[0064] Obviously, the above examples are only examples for clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the present application, and are not a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. For ordinary skilled in the art, on the basis of the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can also be made. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
