Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft engine blade processing, and in particular to a drilling fixture and a clamping method for a central hole of a thin-sheet single-mounting plate blade. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft engine blades have very high requirements for processing equipment, processing methods, and processing accuracy, so they are required to be accurately positioned and clamped stably during the processing. Single-mounting plate blades belong to aircraft engine rectifier blades. Their structural features are composed of mounting plates and blade body profiles. For the processing of the blade body, the center hole on the process journal is used for positioning. Therefore, the processing accuracy of the center hole on the process journal will directly affect the processing quality of the blade body profile, and even cause the entire blade to be scrapped.

[0003] The processing of drilling the center hole on the process journal is usually carried out by a radial drilling machine or a drilling and tapping center, and the blade mounting plate is used for positioning and clamping. However, since the mounting plate is a thin sheet type with a thickness of less than 1mm, it is difficult to ensure accurate positioning and stable clamping during positioning and clamping. There is also a positioning and clamping method by casting alloy blocks, but this processing scheme will cause the reference conversion error caused by the inconsistent reference during the blade body processing, thereby affecting the blade body processing quality. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drilling fixture and clamping method for the center hole of a thin single mounting plate blade to solve the problem of difficulty in clamping when drilling a thin single mounting plate blade. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a drilling fixture and a clamping method for the center hole of a thin-sheet single mounting plate blade, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the present invention proposes a drilling fixture for the center hole of a thin-film single-mounting plate blade, comprising a fixture base plate, a chuck seat and a side plate installed on the top surface of the base plate; a U-shaped seat is arranged at intervals directly above the chuck seat, and the first side arm of the U-shaped seat is fastened and connected to the upper part of the side plate; a positioning block, a supporting block and a positioning pin are arranged on the top surface of the chuck seat; a slide groove is arranged on the front side of the chuck seat, and a pressure plate is installed in the slide groove; a locking screw is screwed on the pressure plate, and the locking screw is screwed on the bottom of the slide groove; the supporting block is located between the positioning block and the pressure plate, and the top surfaces of the positioning block and the pressure plate are higher than the top profile of the supporting block; a first fixing screw and a second fixing screw are screwed on the first side arm and the second side arm of the U-shaped seat respectively; the first fixing screw passes through the side plate and is threadedly matched with the first side arm of the U-shaped seat; the first fixing screw and the second fixing screw are coaxially arranged, and the top tightening ends of the two are arranged oppositely.

[0006] Preferably, a recessed groove is provided on the top of the support block, and the recessed groove is used to accommodate the tenon of the single mounting plate blade.

[0007] Preferably, bosses are integrally formed on both sides of the bottom of the side plate; bolt holes are provided on the bosses, and the bosses are bolted to the fixture bottom plate.

[0008] Preferably, a vertical surface on the positioning block close to the supporting block is set as a positioning surface; and a vertical groove penetrating up and down is set on the positioning surface.

[0009] Preferably, both the first set screw and the second set screw are M8 knurled cylindrical head set screws.

[0010] Preferably, the chuck seat and the fixture base plate are connected and assembled from the bottom by screws.

[0011] Preferably, the single-side gap between the groove walls on both sides of the slide groove and the pressure plate is no more than 0.05 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the support block is an arc surface, and the arc surface matches the shape of the outer arc surface of the edge plate of the single mounting plate blade.

[0013] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for drilling and clamping a center hole of a thin-sheet single mounting plate blade, using the above-mentioned drilling fixture, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step S1, vertically placing the single mounting plate blade to be processed on the top surface of the support block, so that the blade body of the single mounting plate blade faces upward, and the outer arc surface of the edge plate of the single mounting plate blade abuts against the top surface of the support block, and determining the position of the single mounting plate blade in the z direction;

[0015] Step S2, adjusting the position of the single mounting plate blade so that the edge plate end surface of the single mounting plate blade contacts the positioning pin to determine the position of the single mounting plate blade in the y direction; and at the same time, making the side surface of the edge plate blade basin contact the positioning block to determine the position of the single mounting plate blade in the x direction;

[0016] Step S3, tighten the locking screw to drive the pressing plate to move in the slide groove along the negative direction of the x-axis and press against the side surface of the back side of the edge plate blade of the single mounting plate blade;

[0017] Step S4, rotating the first set screw and the second set screw, so that the end surfaces of the first set screw and the second set screw's top tightening ends are respectively in contact with the shaft neck portion of the single mounting plate blade.

[0018] Furthermore, in the step S4, the end faces of the tightening ends of the first set screw and the second set screw are only in contact with the shaft neck portion of the single mounting plate blade, and no tightening force exists.

Therefore, the positioning and clamping of the blade edge plate will not be damaged, and only the blade vibration caused by the cutting force during the center hole drilling process will be offset, protecting the positioning and clamping of the blade edge plate, so that the position of the blade is accurate and stable during the center hole drilling process.

[0022] (3) By adopting the drilling fixture and clamping method provided by the present invention, the problem of reference conversion error caused by inconsistent references during the subsequent CNC milling of the blade body can be effectively avoided, and processing quality accidents caused by inaccurate positioning and clamping of the thin-film type mounting plate during center hole drilling can be avoided. The processing quality of the center hole drilling of the thin-film single mounting plate blade is improved, the probability of reworking the center hole drilling in the subsequent process is reduced, and the manpower and material costs are greatly saved.
