Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology, and more specifically, to a machining process for irregularly shaped thin-walled parts. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern manufacturing, one-piece machined thin-walled parts are increasingly widely used in various high-precision equipment due to their stable structure, absence of welding defects, high machining accuracy, stable product quality, high structural strength, and corrosion resistance. However, the machining of one-piece parts is subject to various factors during actual production, including cutting forces, cutting heat, machine tool fixtures, and cutting tools, making the machining process challenging. The main reasons are that irregularly shaped products are difficult to clamp, and the thin walls in certain areas have poor rigidity and strength, making them prone to deformation during machining. This increases the part's shape and position errors, compromising the machining quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a processing technology for irregularly shaped thin-walled parts, which is not easily deformed during processing and ensures processing quality.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a processing technology for a non-circular thin-walled part, comprising the following steps: S1, roughing the blank to form a blank; S2, heat treating the blank; S3, machining a reference surface on the blank, during which the blank is glued to a transition plate; S4, semi-finishing the bottom surface and cavity surface of the blank; S5, semi-finishing the reverse side of the cavity surface of the blank; S6, repeating S3; S7, finishing the bottom surface and cavity surface; S8, finishing the reverse side of the cavity surface of the blank; S9, finishing the reverse side of the bottom surface; S10, machining the undercut feature inside the cavity of the blank.

[0005] In the machining of irregularly shaped thin-walled parts, stress relief is achieved through heat treatment after roughing. During the machining of the reference surface, the blank is glued to the transition plate, ensuring reliable positioning and preventing deformation of the irregularly shaped thin-walled blank. Semi-finishing is performed first, followed by finishing, to guarantee machining accuracy. Furthermore, the reference surface is machined before both semi-finishing and finishing, resulting in even greater precision and ensuring machining quality.

[0006] The processing technology for irregularly shaped thin-walled parts in this patent application makes them less prone to deformation during processing, thus ensuring processing quality.

[0007] As a preferred option, the blank in S1 is roughened but a 2.5-3.5mm allowance is reserved on the surface.

[0008] After roughing the blank, leave an appropriate machining allowance to facilitate subsequent machining and ensure machining quality.

[0009] As a preferred option, the S2 blank is heat-treated at a temperature of 195-205℃ for 9-11 hours, followed by natural cooling.

[0010] When the heat treatment temperature and time are appropriate, the stress relief effect is good.

[0013] Preferably, a through groove is provided on the surface of the base plate, and a positioning block is installed on the transition plate, with the positioning block being fitted and inserted into the through groove.

[0014] When the base plate is connected to the transition plate, the positioning block on the transition plate is fitted into the through slot on the base plate to ensure the accuracy of the blank clamping position.

[0015] Preferably, a shaping plate is provided below the cavity shell, and a shaping column is adapted to be loaded inside the cavity shell, with the shaping column supported between the shaping plate and the bottom of the cavity shell.

[0016] During the machining of the reference surface, the shaping column is inserted into the cavity shell to shape the cavity shell and prevent the irregular thin-walled blank from deforming during the machining process.

[0017] Preferably, in S4 and S7, the blank is clamped on the front fixture, which includes a connecting plate and a zero-position plate. The reference surface of the blank abuts against the surface of the connecting plate, and the blank and the connecting plate are fastened together with screws. The connecting plate is fastened to the zero-position plate.

[0018] When the bottom surface and cavity surface of the blank are semi-finished and finished, the blank is loaded and positioned on the front fixture. After the reference surface on the blank is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate, it is fastened with screws. The connecting plate is fastened to the zero position plate, and the positioning during the machining process is accurate and reliable.

[0019] Preferably, several clamping blocks are fastened to the connecting plate, and clamping blocks are abutted on both the upper and lower sides of the blank.

[0020] The clamping blocks improve the stability of clamping the blank.

[0021] Preferably, in S5 and S8, the blank is clamped on the reverse fixture, which includes a mounting plate and a zero point plate. The front end face of the blank abuts against the surface of the mounting plate, and the blank and the mounting plate are fastened together with screws. The mounting plate is fastened to the zero point plate.

[0022] When the reverse side of the blank cavity is semi-finished and finished, the blank is loaded and positioned on the reverse jig. After the front end of the blank is abutted against the surface of the mounting plate, it is fastened with screws. The mounting plate is fastened to the zero point plate, and the machining process is precise and reliable.

[0023] As a preferred option, after S5, the blank is removed and left to stand for a period of time to release the semi-finishing stress and deformation.

[0024] After semi-finishing, the blank is left to stand still to release stress and deformation.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the processing technology of the irregular thin-walled parts in this patent application makes the irregular thin-walled parts less prone to deformation during processing, thus ensuring processing quality.

Then the transition plate 3 is connected to the vertical machine tool, and the vertical machine tool performs machining on the undercut feature inside the cavity of the blank 1.

[0065] During the machining of irregularly shaped thin-walled parts, stress relief is achieved through heat treatment after roughing. When machining datum surface 2, the blank 1 is glued to transition plate 3, ensuring reliable positioning and preventing deformation of the irregularly shaped thin-walled blank 1. Semi-finishing is performed first, followed by finishing, to guarantee machining accuracy. Furthermore, datum surface 2 is machined both before semi-finishing and finishing, resulting in even greater precision and ensuring machining quality.
