Description

Technical Field

[0002] Thin-walled structures, such as aircraft skins, are crucial components of large-scale equipment in aerospace and other fields. These structures, such as aircraft skins, withstand and transmit aerodynamic loads with their lightweight and high structural strength. Equipment upgrades are essential for improving the performance of key components. The growing demand for thin-walled workpieces requires innovation and advancement in manufacturing technologies to achieve high-quality, reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly machining. These structures are characterized by their thinness, large size, and high material removal rates during machining. The low out-of-plane stiffness resulting from their thin walls frequently leads to chatter during machining, severely impacting workpiece quality and efficiency, and even accelerating the damage of machining equipment. Furthermore, machining involves numerous complex dynamic issues, such as the variation of milling system parameters with machining position and time. Targeting these weakly rigid workpieces, the magnetic follow-up mirror milling technology utilizes magnetic force to attach a fixture to both sides of the workpiece, providing real-time rigid support for the workpiece as it follows the milling cutter during machining. Providing adjustable support force at the milling point to accommodate different machining positions, further supplement the workpiece's local stiffness, and mitigate the effects of time-varying characteristics is crucial for improving the machining quality of thin-walled workpieces.

The upper part of the central shaft is a screw, and the top of the screw is provided with a central threaded hole. The central threaded hole is connected to a push rod 23, and the top of the push rod 23 is connected to a push rod head gasket 24. The connection between the push rod head gasket 24 and the push rod 23 is glue-bonded. In order to reduce the weight of the structure, a hollow cylindrical structure is adopted at the bottom end of the central shaft 22. The upper surface of the push rod head gasket 24 is evenly distributed with a plurality of protrusions, which replace surface contact with point contact, thereby providing support for the workpiece while reducing friction on the workpiece, thereby protecting the integrity and smoothness of the workpiece surface. The push rod head gasket 24 and the milling cutter 34 are coaxial and located on both sides of the workpiece 35, as shown Figure 6 shown.

[0055] The central shaft 22 passes through the lower lubricating sleeve 14 to the upper lubricating sleeve 13, and a wave mechanical spring 26 is mounted on the large diameter shaft section at the lower end of the central shaft 22, and the upper end of the wave mechanical spring 26 is higher than the shoulder position of the large diameter shaft section of the central shaft 22; the small diameter shaft section of the central shaft 22 is mounted with a three-layer annular magnet 21, and the upper end of the wave mechanical spring 26 contacts the bottom surface of the three-layer annular magnet 21, and the lower end of the wave mechanical spring 26 contacts the bottom surface of the lower groove of the bottom plate of the outer shell 12, and the three-layer annular magnet 21 is sheathed with an annular coil structure 15 fixed to the outer shell 12.

[0056] The screw on the upper part of the central shaft 22 is connected to a hexagonal nut 25, and the three-layer annular magnet 21 adopts an SN-SN-NS pole (or NS-NS-SN pole) arrangement.

Under the action of the wave mechanical spring 26, the tops of the three-layer annular magnet 21 are elevated above the top of the annular coil structure 15. The upper and lower lubricating bushings are used to connect the central shaft 22 of the movable assembly, ensuring smooth and unstuck movement of the movable assembly. The gap gasket 16 is used to adjust the compression of the wave mechanical spring 26 in the movable assembly. As the ejector head is subjected to force, the movable assembly 2 can move up and down within the center of the fixed assembly 1, supported by the wave mechanical spring 26 and electromagnetic force. The ejector head gasket 24 is designed to directly contact the thin-walled workpiece 35. Under the action of the wave mechanical spring 26, the ejector head gasket 24 maintains close contact with the workpiece 35, thereby compressing the wave mechanical spring 26. The compressive force of the wave mechanical spring 26 and the electromagnetic force generated by the energized coil on the magnet act on the workpiece, providing out-of-plane support and stiffness for the thin-walled workpiece. In order to provide sufficient support for the workpiece, in the present invention, a gap gasket 16 is placed under the wave mechanical spring 26. Under the action of the gap gasket 16, the height of the annular magnet above the annular coil is adjusted to the sum of the height of the gap gasket 16 and the height of the single-layer annular magnet.

[0057] The annular coil structure 15 is composed of three annular coils of the same specifications. The three annular coils are arranged in sequence from top to bottom and are respectively recorded as the first annular coil 151, the second annular coil 152 and the third annular coil 153.

[0058] Two screw countersunk holes are provided at the edge of the bottom surface of the top cover 11, and screws are preset in the screw countersunk holes. The screw rods of the screws pass through the screw countersunk holes and are exposed above the top cover 11 for connection with the magnetic follower clamp; threaded holes are provided on the follower side integrated plate 332 at positions corresponding to the two screws, and the electromagnetic semi-active local support device is rigidly connected to the follower side integrated plate 332 through the two screws.

[0059] The outer shell 12 is provided with six radial through holes evenly distributed in the circumferential direction at the position where it is embedded and in contact with the top cover 11. The top cover 11 is provided with a threaded hole coaxial with each radial through hole. The top cover 11 and the outer shell 12 are rigidly connected by threaded connection; and the annular coil structure 15 is fixed therein.

[0060] The active side integrated board 331 is installed on the main shaft of the milling robot. The follower side integrated board 332 and the active side integrated board 331 are provided with three strong magnetic switches 31 at the peripheral edges of the relative surfaces of the two. The follower side integrated board 332 and the active side integrated board 331 are provided with three balls 32 at multiple positions corresponding to each other and at the same height on their relative surfaces. The heights of the balls 32 on the same side integrated board are consistent. The heights of the strong magnetic switches 31 on the same side integrated board are consistent. The heights of the balls 32 on the same side integrated board are higher than the heights of the strong magnetic switches 31. Figure 7 、 Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2 As shown,

[0061] In the present invention, the original length of the wave mechanical spring 26 is L1, the depth of the lower groove of the housing 12 is L2, the depth of the upper groove of the top cover 11 is L3, the height of each layer of annular magnets 21 is H1, and the height of the hexagonal nut 25 is H2; L1-L2=H1, L3>H1, L3>H2; the thickness of the gap gasket 16 is adjustable, the movable component 2 is raised by the wave mechanical spring 26, the hexagonal nut 25 is located in the upper groove of the top cover 11, and the distance between the top of the first layer of annular magnets on the top and the top surface of the top cover 11 is equal to d2; after the active side integrated plate 331 and the follower side integrated plate 332 are adsorbed, the wave mechanical spring 26 is compressed, and the compression amount is equal to the height of the gap gasket 16, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0062] In the present invention, the active side is mounted on the milling spindle and moves synchronously with the milling cutter 34; three strong magnetic switches 31 are arranged on the main and follower devices respectively. Under the action of strong magnetic force, the follower side can be adsorbed on the other side of the workpiece 35 and maintain continuous follow-up under the action of the ball 32, such as Figure 6 As shown. The top cover 11 in the fixing component 1 is provided with two threaded holes and two screws are installed upside down for connection to the integrated board 33 on the follower side of the magnetic follower device, so that the fixing component and the follower side of the magnetic follower device are rigidly connected; by utilizing the strong magnetic force generated by the magnetic switch and the rigid connection between the follower side and the fixing component, the movable component can provide supporting force in a large range and keep the overall structure of the follower side from falling off; in the initial position, there is no gap gasket 16, and under the support of the wave mechanical spring 26, the three-layer annular magnet structure is higher than the height of one layer of the three-layer annular coil structure. At this position, the annular magnet structure is subjected to the maximum electromagnetic force and the minimum electromagnetic stiffness, and the head of the ejector pin just keeps in contact with the workpiece but does not The state of being under stress; adjusting the height of the gap gasket 16 further adjusts the relative distance between the movable component and the fixed component in the height direction, that is, the annular magnet is higher than the height of the coil; installing the device on the workpiece, the push rod head gasket 24 contacts the workpiece, the gap gasket 16 raises the movable component 2 so that the wave compression spring 26 is compressed, and the compression amount is the height of the gap gasket 16. At the same time, the annular magnet and the coil restore the relative distance of the initial position, and the movable component 2 is subjected to the compression force of the spring and the electromagnetic force generated by the energized coil. The sum of the two is transmitted to the workpiece through the central axis 22, the push rod 23 and the push rod head gasket 24; the movable component 2 is an axisymmetric geometric shape, and its axis is collinear with the milling cutter on the opposite side.

[0063] The working process of the device of the present invention is as follows:

[0064] When the milling cutter 34 is fed along the preset path, under the adsorption of the strong magnetic switch, the fixed component 1 and the follower side device form a whole, and move synchronously with the milling cutter spindle on the other side of the workpiece 35; the movable component 2 contacts the workpiece through the push rod head gasket 24, so that the wave mechanical spring 26 is compressed, and the compression amount is the height of the gap gasket; the restoring force generated by the compression of the wave mechanical spring acts on the workpiece through the movable component, providing support force for the workpiece on the opposite side of the milling cutter 34, so as to increase the local stiffness at the milling point of the thin-walled workpiece and weaken the vibration problem caused by the weak stiffness of the workpiece; if the support force needs to be adjusted over a large range, the height of the gap gasket can be adjusted; further, the support force increases linearly by increasing the current; the current source is reversed, the current increases, and the support force decreases linearly.
