Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of turning technology, specifically relating to a turning fixture for irregularly shaped shells and its turning method. Background Technology
[0002] The irregularly shaped shell includes a large cylindrical segment 1, a small cylindrical segment 3, and a square column segment 2. The large cylindrical segment 1 and the small cylindrical segment 3 are coaxially arranged, and the outer diameter of the small cylindrical segment 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the large cylindrical segment 1. The square column segment 2 is located between the small cylindrical segment 3 and the large cylindrical segment 1. The front side of the square column segment 2 is an arc surface, and the arc surface of the front side of the square column segment 2 coincides with the outer side of the large cylindrical segment 1. The left, right, and rear sides of the square column segment 2 are all planes, and are all located inside the outer edge of the end face of the large cylindrical segment 1. The left and right sides are located in the vertical plane in the front-back direction, and the rear side is located in the vertical plane in the left-right direction. The small cylindrical segment 3 is located inside the outer edge of the end face of the square column segment 2. An internal threaded hole 5 is provided on the front arc surface of the square column section 2. The axis of the internal threaded hole 5 is horizontally arranged along the front and back and is parallel to the radial direction of the large cylindrical section 1. A cylindrical nozzle 4 is provided on the rear plane of the square column section 2. The axis of the nozzle 4 is horizontally arranged along the front and back and is parallel to the radial direction of the large cylindrical section 1. There is a gap between the height of the internal threaded hole 5 and the height of the nozzle 4.
[0003] When machining the aforementioned irregularly shaped shell using conventional clamping methods for the nozzle 4 and the internal threaded hole 5, the first consideration is how to clamp the part for machining. Since the part is cylindrical, alignment is required on the cylindrical surface to confirm the center distance between the holes. Using a three-jaw clamp is difficult to align the positioning reference and is also inconvenient for clamping, and the outer surface of the part cannot be damaged. The geometric accuracy and form and position tolerances of the part cannot be guaranteed, making machining accuracy difficult to ensure. Using a four-jaw clamp would leave clamping marks on the outer surface of the part, affecting the appearance quality; furthermore, the lower threaded combination hole requires rotary milling and boring, requiring repeated positioning, making accuracy difficult to guarantee, severely impacting production efficiency, and increasing machining costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and proposes a turning fixture and turning method for irregularly shaped shells; it solves the problems of easy damage to the outer surface and low positioning accuracy when using traditional clamping methods to process irregularly shaped shells.

The left and right inner walls of the upper fixing groove limit and fix the irregular shell in the horizontal direction. The entire machining fixture is fixed on the CNC lathe by a four-jaw chuck, so that the nozzle can be machined.
[0014] When machining the threaded hole inside the irregularly shaped shell, the irregularly shaped shell is placed inside the fixing block. The large cylindrical section of the irregularly shaped shell is located inside the lower fixing groove, while the square column section and the small cylindrical section are located inside the upper fixing groove.
