The characteristic of this product is that the thickness of the thin wall of the cavity is only about 0.1 mm, and the area of the thin wall is about 1500 square millimeters.

[0026] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in exact proportions. They are only used to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] First, the structure of the thin-walled cavity part 1 to be processed in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the middle part is a thin-walled area with a wall thickness of about 0.1 mm, and the two ends of the thin-walled area are connecting flanges (its structure is similar to a thin-walled tube coaxially connected between two coaxially distributed connecting flanges, which will not be repeated here).
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a thin-walled cavity part processing tooling, which is used to support a thin-walled cavity part 1, including a core body 2 and two blocking blocks 3. The thin-walled cavity part 1 is horizontally arranged along the front-to-back direction, and the core body 2 is a straight strip and cooperates with the inner hole of the thin-walled cavity part 1. The core body 2 is inserted into the thin-walled cavity part 1, and its two ends are respectively located in the two connecting flanges 12. The two blocking blocks 3 are respectively distributed at the two ends of the thin-walled cavity part 1 along the front-to-back direction, and can detachably seal the ends of the two connecting flanges 12 away from each other. The thin-walled cavity part 1 and the two blocking blocks 3 together enclose a chamber, and one of the blocking blocks 3 is provided with a negative pressure suction port 31 connected to the chamber, and the negative pressure suction port 31 is used to communicate with the suction of the negative pressure device 4. The port is connected to draw negative pressure in the chamber, and the thin-walled area 11 of the thin-walled cavity part 1 is deformed to fit on the core 2. In this way, when the thin-walled area of the thin-walled cavity part is processed, the core is filled in the thin-walled cavity part, and the two ends of the core are supported in the two connecting flanges, and then the two connecting flanges are respectively blocked by two blocking blocks at one end away from each other. At this time, the thin-walled cavity part and the two blocking blocks are enclosed to form a sealed chamber, and then negative pressure is drawn in the chamber. Since the thickness of the thin-walled area is about 0.1mm, it will be deformed to fit on the core under the action of the negative pressure in the chamber. At this time, the thin-walled area is tightly wrapped on the core and supported by the core. At this time, the core and the thin wall can be understood as a whole, so the thin-walled area is not easily damaged or torn when the thin wall is processed, and the processing yield is high.
[0030] Among them, the connection method between the two connecting flanges and the two blocking blocks can be achieved by using a fixture on the machine tool to clamp the corresponding blocking blocks and connecting flanges respectively (after clamping, each blocking block seals the corresponding connecting flange), and after clamping, the entire processing tooling and thin-walled cavity part 1 are fixed on the machine tool, thereby realizing machining of the thin-walled area.
[0031] In the above technical solution, the negative pressure suction port 31 is arranged at one end of the corresponding block 3 away from the other block 3, so that the negative pressure suction port does not affect the sealing between the block and the corresponding connecting flange.
[0032] In the above technical solution, the two blocks 3 are each provided with a groove 32 in the middle part close to one end of each other, and the groove 32 is provided with a sealing ring 33 protruding from the groove. The sealing ring 33 on each block 3 is used to seal against the edge of the corresponding connecting flange 12, and the negative pressure suction port 31 is connected to the groove 32 on the corresponding block 3. By setting the sealing ring, the sealing performance between the block and the connecting flange is better when they are against each other.
[0033] In the above technical solution, the length of the core 2 is smaller than the length of the thin-walled cavity part 1, but larger than the length of the thin-walled area 11, so that both ends of the core can be supported in the two connecting flanges, so that the two connecting flanges support the two ends of the core, and the core supports the thin-walled area.
[0034] The core 2 in the above technical solution is a cemented carbide rod (its specific material can be tungsten carbide alloy), which has high hardness and is not easy to deform, so its supporting performance is good.
[0035] The negative pressure device 4 in the above technical solution is a negative pressure pump or a vacuum pump, and its structure is simple.
[0036] The shape of the cross-section of the core body in this embodiment is consistent with the shape of the inner hole of the thin-walled cavity part, but the size is slightly smaller than the size of the inner hole of the thin-walled cavity part, so that the core body can be smoothly inserted into the thin-walled cavity part (preferably, the gap between the core body and the inner hole wall after being inserted into the thin-walled cavity part is about 0.01 mm). After the thin-walled area is processed, the negative pressure in the chamber is stopped, and the block is removed from the two connecting flanges. At this time, the thin-walled area will recover under the action of stress and restore the gap between it and the core body. At this time, a pestle rod can be used to push the core body out of the thin-walled cavity part.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the same as Example 1, the difference is that the negative pressure equipment 4 in the above technical solution includes a Venturi ejector 41, the suction port of the Venturi ejector 41 (that is, the bypass port of the Venturi ejector) is connected to the negative pressure suction port 31, and the injection port of the Venturi ejector 41 is used to introduce airflow to make the chamber negative pressure, so that the airflow can be combined with the Venturi ejector to generate negative pressure at the negative pressure suction port, and the injection port of the Venturi ejector 41 is also provided with a flow valve 42, so that the flow rate of the airflow can be adjusted by the flow valve to adjust the negative pressure at the negative pressure suction port. Since the workshop has a dedicated pipeline for supplying compressed air, the pipeline for supplying compressed air can be connected to the injection port of the Venturi ejector at this time, and the ejected airflow makes its suction port negative pressure (wherein the airflow velocity of the injection port is positively correlated with the negative pressure value at the suction port, that is, the greater the flow velocity of the injection port, the greater the negative pressure value of the suction port), thereby making the chamber negative pressure.
