Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of CNC machining technology, and in particular to the CNC machining of aircraft connector parts and cylindrical parts. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft connectors and cylindrical parts are characterized by their variety, complex structure, high precision requirements, and diverse materials. These parts typically incorporate precision lugs, holes, and deep grooves, and their machining features are distributed across multiple machining surfaces, necessitating multi-faceted machining. Therefore, traditional machining methods are complex in terms of process design, requiring multiple changes in clamping methods to fully machine all features on the part. This inevitably leads to low machining efficiency, some dimensions failing to meet design precision requirements, and even part scrap. The applicant filed a utility model patent application on March 29, 2022 (application number: 202220695469.1, utility model name: a multi-faceted machining clamping device for cylindrical parts), but did not describe the process involved in machining connectors and cylindrical parts.

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 The present invention is further described in detail as follows: A multi-faceted CNC machining process for joint-type and cylindrical parts is provided. A horizontal five-axis CNC machine tool with a rotary table (the rotary table can rotate 360º) is used to perform roughing and finishing of the entire part. Finally, the fitter cuts off the support column at the bottom of the part. The part is clamped and positioned in one go to complete the CNC machining of joint-type and cylindrical parts.

[0051] A multi-face CNC machining process for joint-type and cylindrical parts includes the following specific steps:

[0052] Step 1: Make positioning holes on the bottom plane of the part. The specific manufacturing process is drilling → reaming → boring, to achieve an accuracy of H9 or above, and ensure that the perpendicularity of the bottom plane to the central axis of the joint or cylinder is ≤0.05mm.

[0053] Step 2: Fix the positioning and clamping device on the machine tool rotary table 13, and clamp the precision slot 1 (with a positioning pin that mates with the machine tool rotary table) on the device base. Use the positioning pin to position the positioning and clamping device, ensuring that the straightness of the two positioning holes on the upper surface of the positioning and clamping device is ≤0.05mm. Then, position the part through the positioning holes of the clamping device;

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 1-2 As shown, the clamping method of this positioning and clamping device is as follows:

[0055] (1) Install the connector-type and cylindrical parts 10 on the movable pad 3 (the movable pad 3 is fixed on the device base 2). The positioning hole 4 of the device base and the positioning hole at the bottom of the connector-type and cylindrical parts 10 are positioned by pins to ensure that the connector-type and cylindrical parts 10 are positioned on the movable pad 3.

[0056] (2) Insert the screw in reverse into the reverse clamping hole 6 of the part, and screw the screw into the clamping thread hole at the bottom of the joint type or cylindrical part 10 to ensure that the bottom of the joint type or cylindrical part 10 is attached and fixed on the positioning clamping device.

[0057] (3) The central tie rod 7 is fastened to the device base 2 by threads. Then, the joint type and cylindrical part 10 are inserted into the central tie rod 7 along the central deep hole. The clamping cover plate 8 presses down on the upper part of the joint type and cylindrical part 10. The fastening screw 9 is used to press the joint type and cylindrical part 10 tightly, thereby completing the clamping of the parts.

[0058] (4) The size of the positioning hole 4 of the base of the disposable clamping device is fixed. The size of the joint type and cylindrical part 10 suitable for the size of the device is made with a matching positioning hole on the bottom plane. The clamping device can then be used to process the part, thus realizing that a set of clamping devices can meet the clamping requirements of various joint type and cylindrical parts.

[0059] Step 3: Rough machining of joint and cylindrical parts: After the parts are clamped and positioned, use the positioning hole 4 of the device base and the base plane as machining datums; first, mill the part datum hole 11 and the part datum surface 12 as verification datums in the subsequent part machining process. To ensure the rigidity of the parts during machining, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the part is divided into two parts, A and B, along its height for machining. A coated indexable milling cutter is used for roughing. First, the upper part is rough-machined, leaving a 3mm allowance for material removal during finishing. During roughing, a shallow depth of cut and rapid feed rate should be used to prevent excessive cutting forces that could cause vibration in the part during machining.

[0060] Step 4: Use the machining datum and milling method from Step 3. Perform rough machining on part B of the part. This separate machining ensures the stability of the part during the machining process. Leave a 3mm allowance for the rough machining of the lower part of the part as the material removal amount during finishing. Since the overall stability of the part is better after rough machining of the lower part, the milling parameters of the part can be appropriately increased.

[0061] Step 5, Automatic detection and compensation of machine tool rotation accuracy: The developed automatic detection and compensation program for machine tool rotation error is used to detect and compensate for machine tool rotation error using a probe, thereby eliminating machining error caused by machine tool rotation error;

[0062] Step 6: After automatic detection and compensation of machine tool rotation accuracy, the machining datum of the part is redefined; the machining datum of the part is redefined by using a probe to measure the datum hole 11 and the datum surface 12 of the part to ensure the precision of the part's finishing.

[0063] Step 7: Finishing of joint and cylindrical parts: Use the machining datum described in Step 4 as the finishing datum. Use a coated solid carbide end mill for finishing. First, leave a 0.3~1mm allowance for semi-finishing to check if the dimensions of the part meet the requirements, and then finish the part in place. To ensure the rigidity of the part during machining, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the part is still divided into two parts, A and B, along its height for machining. During machining, climb milling with large depth of cut and small allowance should be used as much as possible.

[0064] Step 8: Finish machining of the precision grooves on the double ears of the part: such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower part of the connector and cylindrical parts has a pair of precision H9 double lug slots. Before finishing the lug slots, the sides of the lug slots need to be semi-finished (leaving a 0.3mm allowance for finishing) to ensure that the semi-finished lug slots meet the dimensional requirements. Then, the lug slots are finished by using climb milling full cutting.

[0065] Step 9: Finish machining of the precision holes for the double lugs on the part: such as Figure 1 As shown, the precision lug hole size of the connector-type and cylindrical parts is 39mm (accuracy H8) and the concentricity is 0.1mm. The precision holes of these two lugs are machined in a single boring operation, with the machining speed and retraction speed being consistent to ensure that the hole wall surface finish meets the requirements.

[0066] Step 10: The fitter cuts off the process boss 14 and polishes it.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the specific parameters are as follows:

[0068] 1) Rough machining of joint-type and cylindrical parts:

[0078] Machine tool speed: 1000rpm~1500rpm;

[0079] Cutting speed: 600~1000mm / min.

[0080] 3) Finishing of joint and cylindrical parts:

[0081] Machine tool used: Horizontal five-axis CNC machine tool with a rotary table (the rotary table can rotate 360 ​​degrees);

[0082] Cutting tool used: φ20mm coated solid carbide end mill;

[0084] Machine tool speed: 1500rpm~2000rpm;

[0085] Cutting speed: 800~1000mm / min.

[0086] 4) Precision machining of holes in connectors and cylindrical parts:

[0087] Machine tool used: Horizontal five-axis CNC machine tool with a rotary table (the rotary table can rotate 360 ​​degrees);

[0088] Cutting tool used: Adjustable coated boring bar;

[0090] Machine tool speed: 1500rpm~2000rpm;

[0091] Cutting speed: 100~200mm / min.

[0092] The above manufacturing process, when used for CNC machining of aircraft connectors and cylindrical parts, can effectively reduce the error caused by multiple clamping operations during the machining process, and ensure the machining accuracy, efficiency, and stability of connectors and cylindrical parts.
