Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity purposes and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0020] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Based on T700 grade carbon fiber, the high aspect ratio, thin-walled, weakly rigid carbon fiber compartment is shaped like a frustum cone. The compartment has a large aspect ratio, thin walls, and no structural end frame at the large end. The compartment is weak and deformable. The large end is elliptical in its natural state, making clamping and alignment difficult and time-consuming. Moreover, it is difficult to process and is prone to vibration during processing, which can lead to delamination and fiber tearing defects on the processed surface, resulting in unsatisfactory processing quality.

[0021] Therefore, this application provides a clamping fixture and processing method for a high aspect ratio, thin-walled, weakly rigid carbon fiber cabin, which aims to reduce machining defects, improve machining efficiency, and improve machining quality by improving clamping operations and turning processes.

[0022] In this embodiment, the high aspect ratio thin-walled weakly rigid carbon fiber cabin is a frustum-shaped cylinder with its inner diameter changing linearly from large to small. This embodiment uses a cabin of this structure as an example for illustration.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the high aspect ratio thin-walled weak rigid carbon fiber cabin clamping fixture uses internal support and external locking to clamp and fix the cabin.

[0024] The clamping fixture for the high aspect ratio thin-walled weak rigid carbon fiber cabin may include: a mandrel 1, a first positioning plate 2, a first moving bracket 3, a tensioning plate 4, a tensioning mechanism 5, a second positioning plate 6, a second moving bracket 7, and a top clamping mechanism 8.

[0025] The first positioning disk 2 is movably connected to the spindle 1 via the first movable bracket 3, and the moving direction of the first positioning disk 2 is the axial direction of the spindle 1, so that the first positioning disk 2 can movably abut against and support the inner wall of the cabin 9, press against the cabin 9 from the inside, and be fixed to the spindle 1 based on the first movable bracket 3.

[0026] The tensioning plate 4 is connected to the first positioning plate 2 through the tensioning mechanism 5. The tensioning plate 4 has a through hole 41 that matches the outer wall of the cabin 9. When the tensioning plate 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cabin 9, the tensioning mechanism 5 tightens the tensioning plate 4 and the first positioning plate 2, thereby clamping the first end of the cabin 9.

[0027] The second positioning disk 6 is movably connected to the spindle 1 via the second movable bracket 7, and the moving direction of the second positioning disk 6 is the axial direction of the spindle 1, so that the second positioning disk 6 can movably abut against and support the inner wall of the cabin 9.

[0028] The clamping mechanism 8 is connected to the second positioning plate 6 so that when the second positioning plate 6 abuts against the inner wall of the cabin, the clamping mechanism 8 abuts against the second end of the cabin 9 and pulls the second positioning plate 6 tight, thereby achieving the clamping of the second end of the cabin 9.

[0029] Thus, the mandrel 1, in conjunction with the first positioning disk 2 and the second positioning disk 6, respectively contacts and supports the inner wall of the frustum-shaped cylinder of the cabin 9. Then, the externally sleeved tensioning disk 4 and the tensioning mechanism 5 tighten the cabin 9 and the first positioning disk 2, thereby fixing one end of the cabin 9. The second end of the cabin 9 is fixed by tightening the second positioning disk 6 by pressing against the second end of the cabin, thereby fixing the second end of the cabin 9. This achieves stable and reliable clamping and fixing.

[0030] The clamping fixture and machining method for a high aspect ratio, thin-walled, weakly rigid carbon fiber housing provided in this application embodiment are based on a mandrel. A first positioning plate and a second positioning plate are respectively matched and abutted against the inner wall of the housing 9, thereby stably supporting the housing 9. A tensioning plate and a clamping mechanism are respectively connected to the first and second positioning plates, which are tightened by the large and small ends of the housing 9, respectively, thus stably and reliably clamping the housing 9 onto the clamping fixture. This reduces the risk of vibration, delamination, and tearing defects to a certain extent, improving turning quality. Furthermore, based on the clamping fixture, a reasonable machining process can be arranged, machining allowances adjusted, and appropriate cutting tools and cutting parameters used to avoid defects on the machined surface, ensuring product machining quality.

[0031] In some embodiments, the wall of the through hole 41 of the tensioning disc 4 is formed into an adaptable inclined surface 42 so that the inner sidewall of the tensioning disc 4 can fit against the outer wall surface of the cabin 9.

[0032] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the first positioning disk 2 is configured as a first positioning inclined surface 21 that adapts to the inner wall surface of the cabin 9, so as to adapt to and support the inner wall surface of the cabin 9 in a face-to-face contact manner, disperse the pressure on the inner wall surface of the cabin 9, and reduce the risk of pressure damage.

[0033] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first positioning inclined surface 21 is provided with a plurality of grooves 22 spaced apart along the axial direction of the first positioning inclined surface 21, so as to prevent the first positioning inclined surface 21 from being attracted to the inner wall surface of the cabin 9, making it difficult to detach and affecting the disassembly operation.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first movable bracket 3 is movably connected to the spindle 1 and can be flexibly locked and unlocked, thereby flexibly adjusting the position of the first positioning disk 2 and stably locking it.

[0035] The first movable bracket 3 may include: a first movable seat 31, a fixed plate 32, and a support rod 33; the first movable seat 31 is a movable mounting base, movably mounted on the spindle 1, and the first movable seat 31 is equipped with a locking member to lock the first movable seat 31 on the spindle, thereby realizing the lockable and unlockable performance of the first movable seat 31.

[0036] The fixed plate 32 is connected to the first movable seat 31. There are multiple support rods 33, which are spaced apart on the fixed plate 32 and connected to the first positioning plate 2 to support the first positioning plate 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first movable seat 31 may be an annular component, sleeved on the mandrel 1, and can be locked onto the mandrel 1 by fastening bolts.

[0038] In some embodiments, the tensioning mechanism 5 is used to connect the first positioning plate 2 and the tensioning plate 4, and needs to adapt to the shape of the cabin 9, extending from the first end of the cabin 9, and tensioning the tensioning plate 4.

[0039] Specifically, the tensioning mechanism 5 may include: a pad 51, a connecting plate 52, and a first connecting rod 53; the connecting plate 52 is connected to the first positioning plate 2 through the pad 51, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 53 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 52 and the tensioning plate 4, thereby fixing the first positioning plate 2 and the tensioning plate 4 based on the first moving seat 31, thereby stably fixing the cabin 9.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second movable support 7 includes a second movable seat 71, which is movably disposed on the spindle 1 and is provided with a locking member to lock the second movable seat 71 onto the spindle 1; the second positioning plate 6 can be directly fixed on the second movable seat 71, thereby allowing the position of the second positioning plate 6 to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to contact support on the inner wall of the cabin 9.

[0041] The clamping mechanism 8 may include a second connecting rod 81 and a top plate 82. The top plate 82 is connected to the second movable seat 71 via the second connecting rod 81, thereby fixing the top plate 82 based on the second movable seat 71 and clamping the end of the cabin 9.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first positioning plate 2, the tensioning plate 4, and the second positioning plate 6 are provided with weight reduction holes, namely the first weight reduction hole 23 and the second weight reduction hole 43, in order to reduce the overall weight of the tooling and facilitate operation.

[0043] See Figure 1 and 6 In some embodiments, one end of the mandrel 1 is provided with a chuck clamping part 11, and the other end of the mandrel 1 is provided with a center adapter part 12, so as to cooperate with the chuck 13 and the center 15 on the lathe 14 respectively to stably fix the mandrel 1.

[0044] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 This application embodiment also provides a method for processing a thin-walled, weakly rigid carbon fiber cabin with a large aspect ratio. For a frustum-shaped cabin 9, the cabin 9 is a conical cylinder, and an annular end frame 91 is provided on the inner side of the small-diameter port of the conical cylinder, and the large-diameter end 92 is a circular cylinder opening.

[0045] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 The processing method includes: The cabin 9 is clamped using the aforementioned clamping fixture; Remove the clamping mechanism 8 and measure the thickness of the annular end frame 91 to obtain the initial thickness. The end face 91a of the small diameter end of the cabin 9 is semi-finished. Taking the inner side of the small diameter end as a reference, and based on the initial thickness, a 2mm allowance is left. The tool path with two-sided entry is used to semi-finish the end face and inner side of the annular end frame using the two-sided tool connection method. The cutting parameters include: tool tip radius R0.4, feed rate 8-12mm / min, depth of cut 0.3mm, and the cabin rotation speed 20-30r / min. The thickness of the annular end frame is measured again to obtain the remeasured thickness; The small-diameter end of the cabin 9 is finished. Based on the inner side of the small-diameter end as a reference and the remeasured thickness, a tool path with two-sided entry is used to semi-finish the end face and inner side of the annular end frame using a two-sided tooling method. The cutting parameters include: tool tip radius R0.2, feed rate 5-6 mm / min, depth of cut 0.2 mm, and the rotational speed of the cabin 9 is 20-25 r / min. Change the tooling, re-clamp the clamping mechanism 8 to clamp the small diameter end of the cabin 9, and remove the tensioning plate 4 from the large diameter end side of the cabin 9; Measure the height margin at the large-diameter end of the cabin 9 to obtain the initial height margin. The large-diameter end face of the cabin 9 is semi-finished. Taking the end face of the small-diameter end as a reference, and based on the initial height allowance, a 1mm allowance is left. A tool path with two-sided entry is used to semi-finish the large end face of the skin of the cabin 9 using the two-sided tooling method.

Measure the height margin at the large-diameter end of the cabin 9 to obtain the height margin for remeasurement; The large end skin face of the cabin 9 is finished using the small diameter end face as a reference and based on the remeasured height allowance. A tool path with two-sided entry is used to finish the large end skin face of the cabin 9 using a two-sided tooling method. The cutting parameters include: tool tip radius R0.2, feed rate 5-6 mm / min, depth of cut 0.2 mm, and the rotational speed of the cabin 9 is 20-25 r / min. The cabin 9 was removed and its dimensions were fully inspected according to the design specifications.

Remove the jacks and sleepers.

[0050] Step 4: Measure the allowance: Measure the thickness of the annular end frame. The measurement positions are the quadrant line of the end face and 8 points evenly distributed at a 45° offset position. Step 5, Semi-finishing the small end: Using the inner side of the small end as a reference, leave a 2mm allowance for semi-finishing.

[0051] Detailed operation process: (1) Loosen the top plate 82; (2) Determine the reference, adopt the tool path with two-sided entry, and the cutting parameters are: use a turning tool with a tool tip radius of R0.4, the machining parameters are: rotation speed 20-30 r / min, feed rate 8-12 mm / min, depth of cut 0.3 mm, and use the two-sided entry method for machining; (3) Semi-finish machining of the end face 91a of the annular end frame 91; (4) Semi-finished inner circle of small end frame; Step 6: Measure the allowance: Measure the thickness of the annular end frame at 8 evenly distributed points along the quadrant line and at a 45° offset.

Cutting parameters: use a turning tool with R0.2, machining parameters are: spindle speed 20-25 r / min, feed rate 5-6 mm / min, and depth of cut 0.2 mm. Machining is carried out using the two-sided entry method.

[0053] (2) Finish machining the end face 91a of the annular end frame; (3) Finish machining of the inner circle of the small end frame; Step 8: Change the tooling, use the top plate to press the end of the annular end frame 91, and loosen the tensioning disc 4 of the large diameter end 92; Step 9: Use a machine tool to measure the height allowance: The measurement position can also be the quadrant line and a position at 45° offset, with 8 points evenly distributed; Step 10, Semi-finishing the large end: Using the end face 91a of the annular end frame 91 as a reference, a 1mm allowance is left for semi-finishing.

[0054] Detailed operation process: (1) Determine the reference and adopt a tool path with two-sided entry. Cutting parameters: use a turning tool with a tool tip radius of R0.4, and the machining parameters are: rotation speed 20-30 r / min, feed rate 8-12 mm / min, and depth of cut 0.3 mm. Machining is carried out using the two-sided entry method.

[0055] (2) Semi-finished skin large diameter end 92 end face; Step 11, Measure the height margin: The measurement positions are the quadrant line and 8 points evenly distributed at a 45° offset position; Step 12: Finish machining the end face of the large-diameter end (92mm) of the skin: The end face 91a of the annular end frame 91 is used as a reference for precision machining.

Machining is carried out using the two-sided entry method.

[0057] (2) Finish the end face of the large-diameter end of the skin at 92°. Step 13, Fitter: Draw quadrant lines on the end face; Step 14: Secure the fixture with the jack and sleepers, loosen the tailstock, lift the product off the fixture, and then lift the fixture off the machine tool.

[0058] Step 15, Final Inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the dimensions according to the design specifications.

[0059] In the aforementioned steps, a reasonable machining sequence, machining tools, cutting parameters, and tooling are adopted to improve product quality.

[0060] Considering that delamination defects generally occur near the end of processing, when the fibers at the exit position lack support and are prone to delamination, the two-sided cutting method can effectively solve this problem.
