Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of quartz dome-type product processing technology, specifically to a quartz dome-type product processing fixture, and also to a quartz dome-type product processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional processing methods for quartz dome products involve assembling and welding the flanges, plates, tubes, and ball heads from bottom to top. This process requires stacking a large number of graphite blocks to secure the components. The flatness, coaxiality, and runout of the product cannot be guaranteed during welding, leading to long processing times and increasing the risk of product scrapping. It also increases labor and material costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a machining fixture for quartz dome-type products, which solves problems such as flatness, coaxiality, and runout during the machining of quartz dome-type products, reduces the scrap rate of products during production, lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency. This invention also provides a machining method using this fixture.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A quartz dome-type product processing fixture includes three graphite fixtures, each graphite fixture having a spherical groove formed on the lower part of its side, an arcuate groove formed in the middle part, and a flange groove formed on the top, with the arcuate groove connected to the spherical groove.

[0006] The spherical grooves of the three graphite fixtures enclose a ball head space for accommodating the ball head, the arc grooves of the three graphite fixtures enclose a tube body space for accommodating the tube body, and the flange grooves of the three graphite fixtures enclose a flange space for accommodating the flange.

[0007] The ball head space, tube body space, and flange space are coaxially distributed.

[0008] Preferably, the flange groove includes a horizontally distributed groove bottom surface and a vertically distributed groove arc side surface. When the flange is placed in the flange groove, the flange bottom surface is fitted with the groove bottom surface of the flange groove, and the flange arc side surface is fitted with the groove arc side surface of the flange groove.

[0009] A method for processing quartz dome-like products includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Cut and grind the flange material to ensure that the thickness, flatness, and parallelism meet the requirements; pickle the processed flange, rinse it with pure water, and let it air dry naturally;

[0011] Step 2: Cut the sheet metal from the rotary plate, process the taper, and grind both ends; pickle the processed rotary plate, rinse with pure water, and air dry naturally;

[0012] Step 3: Take 3 tubes, grind and cut them; pickle the cut tubes, rinse with pure water, and air dry naturally;

[0013] Step 4: Cut the ball head into bar stock, leaving a certain allowance for machining the remaining dimensions at the machining center; pickle the machined ball head, rinse with pure water, and air dry naturally;

[0014] Step 5: Take the cleaned flange, rotary plate, pipe body, ball head and three graphite jigs. First, assemble and weld the rotary plate and the lower surface of the flange. Then, use the graphite jigs to fix the ball head, pipe body and flange in sequence, so that the spherical surface of the ball head fits with the spherical groove, the side of the pipe body fits with the arc groove, the bottom surface of the flange fits with the bottom surface of the groove, and the arc side of the flange fits with the arc side of the groove.

[0015] Step 6: Spot weld the semi-finished products assembled in Step 5 to fill the gaps. Before welding, preheat the welding area thoroughly and use a welding torch to remove impurities and moisture from the welding area.

[0016] Step 7: Preheat the annealing furnace and place the welded quartz dome product into the annealing furnace for annealing treatment;

[0017] Step 8: Rinse and clean the quartz dome product from Step 7, then dry it.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The processing fixture provided by this invention consists of three graphite fixtures that enclose a coaxially distributed ball head space, tube body space, and flange space, which are used to sequentially fit the ball head, tube body, and flange, thus ensuring the coaxiality of the flange, tube body, and ball head and the runout of the ball head; at the same time, the three graphite fixtures are designed using the self-centering principle of a three-jaw chuck, eliminating the need for multiple fixings and adjustments of parts.

When placing the flange 1 in the flange groove 8, the flange bottom surface is fitted to the groove bottom surface 9 of the flange groove 8, and the flange arc surface is fitted to the groove arc side surface 10 of the flange groove 8.

[0027] The above-mentioned spherical head space, pipe body space, and flange space are coaxially distributed.

Before welding, preheat the welding area thoroughly and use a welding torch to remove impurities and moisture from the welding area to avoid uneven heating during the filling process, which can cause cracks, bubbles, and other problems.

[0036] Step 7: Preheat the annealing furnace. Place the welded quartz dome product into the annealing furnace for annealing. Slowly heat the furnace to 1150℃ and continue annealing for about 30-50 minutes. Turn off the annealing furnace.
