Description

A tool setting device for machining positioning grooves in the bore of thin-walled projectiles Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical cold working technology, specifically relating to a tool setting device for machining positioning grooves in the bore of thin-walled projectiles. Background Technology

[0002] For a certain type of projectile, a locating groove needs to be machined in the axial part of its bore to prevent a certain assembly component from rotating circumferentially within the projectile's bore. The depth of this locating groove is set to the distance from the upper wall of the projectile's bore to the bottom of the groove, which includes the bore diameter. During the research and development phase of production, a cylindrical milling cutter is installed on specialized equipment, and the milling depth is controlled using the lower wall of the projectile's bore as a reference, indirectly ensuring the product's design dimensions. However, due to variations in the bore diameter, this dimension is difficult to control effectively, resulting in a yield rate of only 65%. To control the locating groove depth, meet product design requirements, and improve the yield rate, a tool-setting device for machining the locating groove in the projectile's bore needs to be designed and used in mass production after the product design is finalized. This device will effectively control the milling depth and improve the yield rate. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the method of using the tool setting device of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, contents, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1a and 1b, a positioning groove needs to be machined in the axial part of the projectile's bore. The depth of the groove is set to the distance H from the upper wall of the projectile's bore to the bottom of the groove, which includes the bore diameter D. If the lower wall of the projectile's bore is used as a reference for machining dimension B, the product design dimension H can be indirectly guaranteed. However, due to the influence of changes in the bore diameter D, this dimension is difficult to control effectively.

[0020] This embodiment proposes a tool setting device for machining positioning grooves in the bore of thin-walled projectiles. Its structure is shown in Figures 2a and 2b. It mainly includes a positioning block 1, an internal hexagonal head screw 2, a positioning rod 3, a slotted cylindrical end set screw 4, a spring 5, and a positioning seat 6.

[0021] The top of the positioning seat 6 is machined into an arc shape, and the radius of the arc is the minimum limit dimension of the missile's bore radius. The rear end of the positioning block 1 is fixed to the positioning seat 6 by an internal hexagon head screw 2. The front end of the positioning block 1 is machined with a tool setting groove, which is machined based on the arc surface on the positioning seat 6. The distance h from the bottom of the tool setting groove to the highest point of the arc surface is the middle limit dimension H of the positioning groove depth dimension of the missile's bore. The groove width dimension B is slightly larger than the diameter dimension of the cylindrical milling cutter. A pair of cutting edges are machined on the right side of the positioning groove to facilitate observation of the tool setting situation.

[0022] The bottom end of the positioning seat 6 is machined with a blind hole for mounting the positioning rod. The spring 5 and the positioning rod 3 are sequentially installed in the blind hole. The bottom end of the positioning rod 3 is machined into a hemispherical shape, and a keyway is machined on the right side of the positioning rod 3. The cylindrical end of the slotted cylindrical set screw 4 is screwed into the keyway through the threaded hole on the side of the positioning seat 6, but does not contact the bottom surface of the keyway. The two ends of the spring 5 are respectively pressed against the bottom of the blind hole for mounting the positioning rod and the top surface of the positioning rod 3. Under the action of elastic force and external force, the spring 5 pushes the positioning rod 3 up and down, so that the positioning rod 3 and the positioning seat 6 can enter the inner cavity of the projectile and remain stable.

[0023] In this invention, the positioning block 1, the positioning rod 3, and the positioning seat 6 are all made of wear-resistant and pressure-resistant T10A tool steel, and the hardness requirement after heat treatment is HRC58~62.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the method of using the tool setting device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. Press the hemispherical bottom of the positioning rod 3 on the tool setting device downwards against the inner wall of the projectile, and then press it down with a little force while applying horizontal force. The spring 5 compresses the arc-shaped surface at the top of the positioning seat 6 into the inner cavity of the projectile. Since the radius of the arc-shaped surface of the positioning seat 6 is the minimum limit of the inner cavity radius of the projectile, most of the arc-shaped surface can contact the inner wall surface of the projectile. This ensures that the positioning groove on the positioning block 1 is at the centerline of the inner cavity of the projectile, and the bottom plane of the positioning groove is horizontal with the upper wall of the projectile. At this time, the h value is guaranteed to be the middle limit of the depth H of the positioning groove in the inner cavity of the projectile.

[0026] S2. Move the milling cutter holder to the right so that the cylindrical milling cutter fixed on the milling cutter holder enters the positioning groove from the left end of the positioning block 1 on the tool setting device and reaches the tool setting point. Then move the milling cutter holder down and observe the tool setting situation from the tool setting point. Make the lower end face of the cylindrical milling cutter rest on the bottom plane of the positioning groove of the positioning block 1. The tool setting is complete.

[0027] S3. After tool setting is completed, the tool setting device is removed from the missile's internal cavity, and then milling is performed.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
