[0002] Reference Figures 1-2 The locking mechanism is a key component of a gun, and the spiral locking tooth surface structure of the locking mechanism is special. The distance between the locking tooth surface and the end surface of the locking mechanism on the center line of the locking tooth is usually required to be about 0.05 mm in precision, and the consistency precision of the distance between the plurality of tooth surfaces and the cross section of the locking mechanism is required to be within 0.04 mm, and the surface roughness is usually required to be above Ra1.6. The spiral locking tooth surface is difficult to process, and the processing process is complicated.
[0003] In the existing processing, the locking tooth surface is approximated as a multi-thread internal thread, and is processed on an ordinary lathe, that is, each tooth surface is a spiral line, and each spiral line has a fixed starting point on the locking mechanism, and the thread length is only about 0.5 mm. After the processing of one tooth surface is completed by using the forward and reverse turning method, the part needs to be clamped and aligned again, the tool setting value is calculated, the tool is fed and turned, and the operation is repeated.
[0004] The above processing method has the following problems: 1. When each locking tooth is processed, the starting point of each spiral line must be correctly found again, and all mechanical transmission clearances need to be excluded each time the tool is fed; 2. The tool is difficult to change in the middle, the cutting resistance is large, the tool wears quickly, the processing size error and tooth surface shape error are difficult to avoid, and the batch consistency is unstable; 3. In actual processing, the forward and reverse turning and the feeding and turning are performed about one thousand times, the labor intensity is large, the operator is easy to be tired, and the production efficiency is low; and the angle of rotation of the main shaft of the machine tool needs to be strictly controlled, the adjacent locking tooth cannot be scratched, the skill level and reaction speed of the operator are required to be high, and the operator must operate with high concentration for a long time. Therefore, the existing processing method is difficult to meet the batch production requirements of the locking mechanism. SUMMARY

[0014] Step 4, rough machining;
[0015] Step 4.1, after the machine tool feeds l, set the X direction first machining amount, and in the process of one rotation of the machine tool main shaft, the tool repeatedly feeds in and out along the Z direction, and all tooth surfaces are completed once in the X direction. Continuous processing of one circle;
[0016] Step 4.2, set the X direction second machining amount, and the tool repeatedly feeds in and out along the Z direction, and all tooth surfaces are completed once in the X direction. Continuous processing of the second time;
[0017] Step 5, adjust the cutting amount parameter, and perform finish machining on all tooth surfaces according to step 4.
[0018] Further, the feed value L' in step 3 is obtained by calculation according to the formula , wherein p is the pitch, and alpha' is the included angle between the extension line of each locking tooth helical surface high-low point and the locking tooth center line.
[0019] Further, in step 3, the cutting amount is not greater than 0.05mm each time.

In order to ensure the locking performance of the locking teeth, each locking tooth surface is a small-angle inclined surface with a certain pitch, so that the locking tooth surface is more closely and reliably fitted. The more the number of locking teeth is, the more complicated the processing process is. In addition, the distance precision between the center line of the locking tooth and the end face of the locking mechanism is usually required to be about 0.05mm, and the consistency precision of the distance between the plurality of tooth surfaces and the cross section of the locking mechanism is required to be within 0.04mm, and the surface roughness is usually required to be more than Ra1.6, so the machining difficulty of the spiral locking tooth surface is great.
