Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aeroengines and gas turbines, and in particular relates to a double-neck boring processing method for long-overhang thin-wall blades. Background Art

[0002] The weight reduction of the fan unit of an aircraft engine directly affects the thrust-to-weight ratio and efficiency of the aircraft engine. Advanced aircraft engines at home and abroad have been committed to the weight reduction and structural optimization of fan parts. The double-journal structure at both ends of the adjustable blade profile of a fan has design features such as long cantilever, eccentric profile, thin profile wall (or hollow), etc. The total length of the blade is ≥350mm. The blade is assembled and positioned with the fan casing through the large and small journal structures at both ends. The airflow is pre-pressurized before entering the compressor to adjust the airflow size. For the blades of this structure, when turning / grinding the journals at both ends of the blade profile, even if the counterweight fixture is carefully designed and used, the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee. In order to reduce weight, the rigidity of the blade profile is designed to be very weak. The blade profile is used as a connector between the large and small end journals. When turning / grinding the journals, the eccentric rotation of the blade profile is difficult to suppress the vibration; the blade cantilever is long and thin. During the turning / grinding process, due to the influence of large cutting force and cutting heat, the blade undergoes large bending deformation, and the coaxiality of the journals at both ends, the blade profile and the journal position cannot be guaranteed. The journals at both ends are a very important parameter for the quality control of this blade, which is directly related to the assembly accuracy with the fan casing and the reliability of the fan unit. It has become the most difficult bottleneck problem to solve in the development process of journal-adjustable blades. Summary of the invention

Step 2: Determine the positioning reference for journal machining: Step 2.1, the rotation base of the journal processing: Determine according to the relationship between the processing journal and the blade body, such as Figure 2 As shown, with the large and small end journals as the reference, the position accuracy of the blade body rotation axis is required to be within Φ0.4mm, that is, with the blade body rotation axis as the reference, the position accuracy of the two end journals is within Φ0.4mm, and the blade body rotation axis is the rotation reference for journal machining; Step 2.2, the length reference of the journal processing: Determine it according to the relationship between the processing journal and the blade body, such as Figure 3 As shown, the C surface of the large end journal is taken as the zero line of the height dimension of each section, that is, when machining the length dimension of the journal, the blade body or the process table when machining the blade body is taken as the length reference of the journal machining; Step 3: Select the boring tool according to the journal size; The boring tool consists of a handle, an external boring head, a boring bar, and a boring blade.
