Description

BACKGROUND

[0002] The integrated rotating target is made by a casting process, and the circumferential degree of the pipe target manufactured by the casting process has a certain error, and as the length of the pipe target increases, the straightness error of the pipe target also increases. The pipe target has very high requirements for straightness and circumferential degree, so after the pipe target is completed by casting, the straightness and circumferential degree of the pipe target need to be adjusted by mechanical processing.

[0003] In the prior art, the outer diameter of the pipe target is taken as the processing reference, the outer circumferential surface of the pipe target is taken as the straightening reference to straighten and adjust the straightness of the pipe target. Since the pipe target has eccentric wall thickness, the inner diameter is still bent after outer circle straightening, so the pipe target needs to be bored by a boring machine to adjust the circumferential degree of the pipe target. However, as the length of the pipe target increases, the requirement for the boring machine is higher, and when processing an aluminum pipe target, the aluminum pipe target is soft and is easy to stick to the tool during boring, which can scratch the surface and result in low pass rate. For example, it takes 4 hours of processing time and costs 1000 yuan of processing cost to bore a 3-meter-long pipe target, the boring machine generates a loss of 20 yuan, and 5 kg of waste material is generated. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the straightening time, efficiency, and cost. SUMMARY

[0050] Example 1

[0051] A method for straightening the inner diameter of a rotating target is used to process an aluminum tube target 1 with an outer diameter of 173 mm, an inner diameter of 125 mm, a length of 3000 mm, a 3 mm eccentricity in the tube wall, and a maximum bending of 5 mm. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the process for machining rotating targets longer than 3 meters includes the following steps:

[0052] S1. Determine the reference step: The target tube 1 to be straightened is hoisted onto a lathe and clamped on the lathe with its inner diameter as the axis of rotation. The outer circumferential surfaces of the left and right ends of the target tube 1 are machined on the lathe to a depth of 20mm, resulting in two reference portions 11, each 20mm long. The circular runout of each reference portion 11 is controlled within 0.01–0.05mm, and the relative coaxiality error between the two reference portions 11 is controlled within 0.01–0.05mm. The portion to be straightened 12 lies between the two reference portions 11. Since the two ends of the target tube 1 have the least curvature, they are machined with the inner diameter as the reference, ensuring the outer and inner diameters of the reference portions 11 are coaxial. The length of the reference portions 11 is controlled within 10–100mm. While ensuring the reference portions 11 can be rotatably connected to the straightening device, the length of the reference portions 11 is reduced, and the length of the portion to be straightened 12 is increased, thereby improving the straightening accuracy.

[0053] S2, fixed steps, such as Figure 10 As shown, the machined pipe target 1 is hoisted onto the straightening device. The straightening device includes a base 2, an inner diameter measuring mechanism 3, an outer diameter measuring mechanism 4, a pressing mechanism 5, and two rotating support mechanisms 6. The two rotating support mechanisms 6 are slidably mounted on the base 2, the pressing mechanism 5 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the base 2, the inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is movably mounted on the base 2, and the outer diameter measuring mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the pressing mechanism 5. The two reference parts 11 of the pipe target 1 are rolled onto the two rotating support mechanisms 6 to fix the pipe target 1 and rotate it on the straightening device with the inner diameter as the axis of rotation. The reference parts 11 are rotatably connected to the straightening device, so that the pipe target 1 rotates on the straightening device with the inner diameter as the axis of rotation, which facilitates subsequent straightening with the inner diameter as the reference.

[0054] S3, the alignment point determination step, includes the following sub-steps.

[0055] S3.1, Mark the straightening points step, such as Figure 5 As shown, calibration points A, B and C are marked on the calibration section 12. Calibration points A and C are located at the left and right ends of the calibration section 12, and calibration point C is located in the middle of the calibration section 12.

[0056] S3.2, Reference Measurement Sub-step: The inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31, a measuring instrument, and a pull rope 33. The measuring instrument is slidably mounted on the slide rail 31, and one end of the pull rope 33 is fixedly connected to the measuring instrument. The measuring instrument is equipped with a measuring rod 34 and a measuring gauge 35. The measuring rod 34 is connected to the measuring gauge 35, and the displacement change of the measuring rod 34 reflects the numerical change of the measuring gauge 35.

[0057] Insert the inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 into the inner hole of the tube target 1, so that the outer end of the measuring rod 34 of the measuring instrument abuts against the inner wall of the tube target 1. By pressing the measuring rod 34 downward a certain distance, a corresponding initial value is formed on the measuring table 35. At the same time, the measuring rod 34 also forms a certain downward measuring stroke.

[0058] S3.3, Inner diameter measurement sub-step: Pull the rope 33 to move the measuring instrument to each calibration point. The outer end of the measuring rod 34 abuts against the inner wall of the calibration point. Rotate the tube target 1 with the inner diameter of the reference part 11 as the axis of rotation. If the reference part 11 and the part to be calibrated 12 are not coaxial, the tube target 1 will deflect during rotation, causing the measuring rod 34 abutting against the inner wall of the tube target 1 to move, thereby causing the value on the measuring table 35 to change accordingly. Record the difference in the change range of the measuring table 35 relative to the initial value, and obtain the corresponding runout value at each calibration point. The greater the difference between the runout value at each calibration point and the initial value, the greater the degree of bending of the tube target 1.

[0059] S4, the step of determining the straightening point and straightening value: compare the various runout values, and move the straightening point with the largest runout value to the bottom of the pushing mechanism 5 through the two rotating support mechanisms 6. The straightening value is set to 49-51% of the maximum runout value; preferably, the straightening value is set to 50% of the maximum runout value. The straightening point with the largest runout value is the high or low point of the bend of the tube target 1. Therefore, the straightening point with the largest runout value is selected for straightening.

[0060] S5, the straightening step, includes the following sub-steps.

[0061] S5.1, pressing down the straightening sub-step, as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the rotating tube target 1 makes the highest point of the straightening point face upward, and the pushing mechanism 5 is activated to press down on the tube target 1 from top to bottom. When the outer diameter measuring mechanism 4 detects that the pushing mechanism 5 has pressed down one straightening value, the pressing stops.

[0062] S5.2, Calibration and continuous straightening sub-step: Repeat sub-step S3.3 to remeasure each straightening point. If any runout value after straightening is still greater than the accuracy requirement range, repeat sub-step S4 and S5.1 until all runout values ​​after straightening are within the accuracy requirement range.

[0063] S6, Eccentricity Correction Step: The straightened tube target 1 is hoisted to the lathe, and the eccentric part of the part to be corrected 12 is machined off using the outer diameter of the reference part 11 as a reference.

[0064] The inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is placed into the inner hole of the tube target 1. An initial value is obtained using the measuring instrument. The measuring instrument is moved to the alignment point A by pulling the pull rope 33. The outer end of the measuring rod 34 abuts against the inner wall of the alignment point A. The tube target 1 is rotated around the inner diameter of the reference part 11 to obtain the runout value A. The pull rope 33 is then pulled sequentially to move the measuring instrument to alignment points B and C for measurement, obtaining runout values ​​B and C respectively. For example, if the runout value A is 2mm, runout value B is 5mm, and runout value C is 3mm, the alignment value is set to 2mm. The tube target 1 is rotated so that the highest point of alignment point B faces upwards, and the pushing mechanism 5 is activated from top to bottom. The tube target 1 is pressed down. When the outer diameter measuring mechanism 4 detects that the pressing mechanism 5 has pressed down 2mm, the pressing stops. The inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is used to measure the straightening points A, B, and C again. For example, the runout value obtained at this time is 1mm for A, 1mm for B, and 1.2mm for C. The tube target 1 is rotated again so that the highest point of the straightening point C faces upward. The pressing mechanism 5 is started to press down on the tube target 1 from top to bottom. When the outer diameter measuring mechanism 4 detects that the pressing mechanism 5 has pressed down 0.6mm, the pressing stops. The operation is repeated until the runout values ​​A, B, and C are all within the accuracy requirements, and the straightening operation is completed. Using the inner diameter as a reference, two reference parts 11 are first machined out on a lathe. Then, the reference parts 11 are mounted on a straightening device with the reference parts 11 as the rotation axis. By measuring the difference between the inner diameter of the part to be straightened 12 and the reference parts 11, the bending data of the tube target 1 is obtained. Then, the straightening is performed by the pushing mechanism 5. The entire straightening process is based on the inner diameter, eliminating the need to bore the inner diameter, reducing waste, lowering costs, simplifying the straightening process, shortening the straightening time, and improving straightening efficiency.

[0065] Existing technology requires straightening based on the outer diameter, followed by boring the inner hole using a boring machine. Therefore, this invention adds a boring step, such as... Figure 6 As shown, for example, for an aluminum tube target 1 with an outer diameter of 150mm, an inner diameter of 125mm, and a length of 3000mm, the incoming material bending of the tube target 1 is 3mm, the eccentricity of the tube target 1's opening wall thickness is 2mm, and boring each tube target 1 requires 4 hours. With a working day of 8 hours, only 2 tube targets 1 can be processed per day. However, with this invention, 10-16 tube targets 1 can be processed per day. Figure 7 As shown, the cost of boring one tube target 1 is 1000 yuan, the wear and tear of the boring machine is 20 yuan, the boring process generates 5 kg of scrap, the market price of aluminum scrap is 50 yuan / kg, and 250 yuan of materials are required. The cost of turning the outer diameter on a lathe is 100 yuan, and the total cost of straightening one tube target 1 is 1370 yuan. However, by using the present invention for straightening, only the cost of turning the outer diameter on a lathe is 100 yuan. Therefore, compared with the prior art, taking the tube target 1 of the above specifications as an example, the present invention saves 4 hours of processing time and 1290 yuan of processing costs for straightening one tube target 1.

[0066] Specifically, the base 2 also has two straightening support mechanisms 7 slidably mounted on it. Both straightening support mechanisms 7 are slidably mounted between two rotating support mechanisms 6. The pushing mechanism 5 is slidably mounted on the base 2. In the steps of determining the straightening point and straightening value, the two rotating support mechanisms 6 remain fixed, and the two straightening support mechanisms 7 are moved to the left and right sides of the straightening point with the largest runout value as fulcrums, respectively. The pushing mechanism 5 is then moved above the straightening point with the largest runout value. The straightening support mechanisms 7 serve as two support points, which is particularly useful for pipe targets 1 that bend in different directions. By changing the fulcrums on both sides of the pushing mechanism 5, the pipe target 1 is straightened in segments, reducing repeated measurements and straightening steps, and further improving the straightening speed.

[0067] Specifically, the straightening support mechanism 7 includes a support slide 71, an upper support frame 72, and a lower support frame 73. The support slide 71 is slidably installed on the machine base 2, and the lower part of the lower support frame 73 is movably installed on the support slide 71. One side of the upper part of the lower support frame 73 is hinged to one side of the upper support frame 72, and the other side of the lower support frame 73 is snap-fitted to the upper support frame 72. After the upper support frame 72 and the lower support frame 73 are connected and fixed, a hollow locking and fixing hole is formed in the middle of the straightening support mechanism 7 along the length direction of the machine base 2. In the pressing straightening sub-step, after rotating the tube target 1 so that the highest point of the straightening point faces upward, the upper support frame 72 is rotated to fix the upper support frame 72 and the lower support frame 73, so that the tube target 1 is clamped and fixed in the locking and fixing hole. During the straightening process, the upper support frame 72 and the lower support frame 73 clamp and fix the tube target 1 to prevent the tube target 1 from rotating under pressure when the pushing mechanism 5 presses down on the tube target 1, which would lead to straightening failure and improve the straightening success rate. The tube target 1 does not need to be held and fixed by hand, which improves safety.

[0068] Specifically, the rotating support mechanism 6 includes a support slide 61 and two support roller assemblies. The lower part of the support slide 61 is slidably mounted on the base 2. The two support roller assemblies are spaced apart on the support slide 61. Each support roller assembly includes a mounting base 62 and a roller 63. The roller 63 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 62, which is located on the support slide 61. The roller 63 rolls with the reference part 11 of the tube target 1. The support slide 61 slides along the length of the base 2 to accommodate tube targets 1 of different lengths. Preferably, the mounting base 62 is slidably mounted on the support slide 61, which can stably accommodate tube targets 1 of different diameters. This prevents the tube target 1 from falling off the rotating support mechanism 6 due to insufficient clearance between the two rollers 63 when straightening a larger diameter tube target 1, thus improving stability and adaptability.

[0069] Specifically, the inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is also equipped with a measuring slide 32 and a supplementary light 36 installed on the measuring slide 32. The measuring slide 32 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 31, and the measuring instrument is fixedly mounted on the measuring slide 32. One end of the pull rope 33 is fixedly connected to the measuring slide 32, and the supplementary light 36 is located on the front side of the measuring instrument. When the inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is placed into the inner hole of the pipe target 1, since light cannot reach it, the measuring instrument is illuminated by the supplementary light 36, thus allowing the specific reading of the measuring instrument to be clearly seen. The measuring instrument is movably mounted on the measuring slide 32, which facilitates periodic disassembly for instrument calibration, increasing the accuracy of calibration.

[0070] Specifically, the inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 is also equipped with a monitor and a camera. The monitor and camera are electrically connected, and the camera is mounted on the measuring slide 32, facing the measuring instrument's measuring gauge 35. When measuring a long pipe target 1, it is difficult to clearly observe the measuring instrument's reading with the naked eye. Therefore, a monitor and camera are added. The camera captures the measuring instrument's reading and displays the image on the monitor, allowing for intuitive, fast, and accurate reading of the measuring instrument's reading, making it more convenient to use.

[0071] Specifically, both the outer diameter measuring mechanism 4 and the measuring instrument are dial indicators. The inner diameter measuring mechanism 3 uses a regular dial indicator in conjunction with a camera for reading, eliminating the need for electronic measuring equipment, resulting in a simple structure and low cost.

[0072] Specifically, in the step of marking and straightening points, when the length of the target tube 1 is greater than 3000 mm, at least one additional straightening point should be added for every 5000-1000 mm increase. Adjusting the number of straightening points according to the length of the target tube 1 allows for quick and accurate straightening.

[0073] Specifically, the pressing mechanism 5 uses a 5T ballast press. The rotating target material is mostly made of materials such as Al, Sn and Cu. These metal materials have poor strength and the pipe is prone to bending and deformation. Therefore, a 5T ballast press is selected to straighten it to prevent the large ballast size from making it difficult to control the straightening value.

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] Using traditional machining methods, the outer diameter of the tube target 1 is first straightened. After the outer diameter is straightened, the inner circumferential surface of the tube target 1 is machined. The inner diameter machining is performed by boring the inner circumferential surface of the tube target 1 using a large boring machine. Figure 8 As shown, a machining allowance of at least 2mm needs to be reserved between the inner and outer diameters of the tube target 1. Boring will inevitably result in material waste, and because the aluminum tube target 1 has a relatively soft material structure, it is prone to tool sticking during boring. Figure 8As shown, the boring machine is closed at both ends during operation, making it impossible to observe the boring of the inner circle of the target 1. When the tool sticks, it will damage the inner circle surface of the target 1, which cannot be dealt with in time, resulting in the scrapping of the entire target 1. Therefore, the pass rate of the traditional processing method can only reach 90%.

[0076] When processing a tube target 1 of the same specifications and material with a length of 3 meters as in Comparative Example 1 and Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, in Comparative Example 1, processing one tube target 1 requires 4 hours of processing time, incurs 250 yuan of material waste, 20 yuan of boring machine equipment waste, and 1,000 yuan of processing costs, while the equipment purchase cost reaches 800,000 yuan.

[0077] Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, processing a 3-meter-long target 1 requires only half an hour of processing time, with zero material consumption and a processing cost of 30 yuan compared to Comparative Example 1. Equipment wear and tear is reduced to 20 yuan / day, but the processing pass rate is increased to 100%. Furthermore, as... Figure 10 and 11 As shown, the processing method of Embodiment 1 of the present invention does not require the use of a large processing equipment such as a boring machine, and the purchase cost of the required equipment is only 100,000 yuan. Therefore, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Example 1 differs significantly from Comparative Example 1 in terms of processing time, processing cost, and equipment procurement cost. Example 1 of the present invention not only improves processing efficiency but also reduces processing cost and equipment procurement cost by a factor of two.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
