Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of die-cast aluminum alloy machining technology, and mainly relates to a machining method suitable for the housing of electrical control box in new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] All performance indicators of new energy vehicles require unified coordination and execution through electronic control. Electronic control systems are composed of various integrated circuit components, which are generally quite fragile and expensive, requiring a very robust casing for protection. These components are typically made of die-cast aluminum alloy, a thin-walled material. Traditional machining of this alloy involves complex processes, often requiring not only front-side machining but also side and hole machining, resulting in low processing efficiency, unbalanced processing cycles, unstable product flatness, and inconsistent processing data.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing processing methods for the housing of electrical control boxes in new energy vehicles:

[0004] 1. The original plan uses two processing steps. Step 1 processes the upper cover assembly face system, connector face system, and B+ connector face system. Step 2 processes the lower cover assembly face system, water channel face system, pressure heater mounting and positioning surface, and M8 threaded hole face system. The processing cycle of each step in this plan is unbalanced, the overall line balance rate is low, and the stability of key dimensional data is poor.

[0005] 2. The original plan used the blank reference surface for positioning and completed the rough and fine machining of the upper cover plate assembly surface in the same process. However, due to the instability of the flatness of the blank reference surface and the side positioning reference, and the inability to release the internal stress after the product is processed, the flatness of the upper cover plate assembly surface, the lower cover plate assembly surface and the water channel surface is unstable, resulting in unstable hole position dimension data measured with the reference of the three surfaces.

[0109] The roughing of the upper cover plate assembly surface is done in sequence 1, and the finishing is done in sequence 4. The roughing of the lower cover plate assembly surface and the water channel surface is done separately, with roughing done in sequence 2 and finishing done in sequence 3. The flatness of the upper cover plate assembly surface after roughing is better and more stable than the blank surface. Sequences 2 and 3 use the rough-machined upper cover plate assembly surface to perform roughing and finishing of the lower cover plate assembly surface and the water channel surface. Sequence 4 uses the finishing lower cover plate assembly surface and the reference hole for positioning. This separate roughing and finishing process allows the internal stress of the product to be fully released after the product is released from the clamp. The flatness data of the upper cover plate assembly surface, lower cover plate assembly surface, and water channel surface are stable, reducing the data instability caused by the deformation of the blank surface and the side positioning reference surface. Using stable machined holes and machined surfaces for positioning improves the process stability index of key dimensional data by 80%.
