Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of part processing, in particular to a processing method and processing clamp for a die forging T-shaped tee joint. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tee joint is an important connecting element of the precision parts of an aero-engine, and has a complex structure and high product precision requirement. The material specification of the part is a die forging, and the surfaces of the three directions of the blank are extremely irregular. The processing and alignment problem has been one of the technical difficulties of the part, and the positioning accuracy determines the product quality of the subsequent processing.
[0003] As shown in the prior art, Figure 1 At present, the left end blank outer circle A is clamped and aligned by a three-jaw chuck. First, rough machining of the blank is performed. The turning machining content is used as the subsequent machining reference, and involves axial and radial positioning directions. Therefore, the rough reference is very important. Since the positioning reference surface is the blank surface, part of the outer circle has a certain slope, and there is a size difference between the blank surfaces, which causes the part alignment time to be relatively long. For individual parts with large shape differences, the part cannot be aligned at all. After the part is machined by the three-jaw chuck, only the radial positioning reference can be controlled, and the axial reference cannot be controlled. When machining the outer circle B direction profile, the traditional four-jaw chuck is usually used to clamp and align the part. However, the four-jaw chuck has the following disadvantages: 1. The four jaws of the four-jaw chuck move independently. When clamping, the four-jaw chuck cannot automatically center. The adjustment and alignment are relatively complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The results need to be continuously adjusted and verified, which seriously affects the production efficiency. 2. The four-jaw chuck has poor repeatability. After the part is machined, the part is removed and re-clamped. It is difficult to restore the previous position. The distance between the hole axial center line and the end surface may vary in length for each part, and the product size consistency is not good. 3. The part has the risk of loosening and falling during the machining process of the four-jaw chuck clamped part. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a processing method and processing clamp for a die forging T-shaped tee joint, aiming to solve the technical problems in the prior art.
