Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing flexible telescopic pipe fittings for a power system in the field of aerospace, and in particular to an integral forming method and device for a diaphragm box of an accumulator. Background Art

[0002] As the core component of the accumulator, the diaphragm box plays a key role in the power system in the aerospace field, especially in liquid rocket engines. It is mainly used to buffer the impact pressure, adjust the fluid pressure, and is installed at the propellant inlet of the liquid rocket engine to suppress the POGO effect and ensure the stability and success of the rocket launch process. Traditionally, the diaphragm box is usually made by welding, that is, the inflection point of the corrugated peak or trough is divided into diaphragms, and then the inner and outer sides are welded in turn to form a diaphragm box made of multiple groups of diaphragms.

[0003] However, this traditional welding method has many limitations and challenges. First, since the thickness of the diaphragm box material is usually only 0.3mm, and high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or high-temperature alloys are mostly used, the welding process requires the use of micro-arc Tig welding or laser welding with a small heat input, which increases the risk of welding deformation and is prone to defects such as weld dents, flaky oxidation color on the weld surface, and black spots on the weld. Secondly, defects such as oxidation inclusions are prone to occur inside the weld joint, which further reduces the service capacity of the diaphragm box product. Under the action of complex vibration and internal pressure loads, microcracks are prone to occur in the weld and expand to fail, making the production control of diaphragm box products difficult and the product quality difficult to guarantee.

[0004] With the surge in my country's space launch missions, the requirements for the manufacturing efficiency and product quality of membrane box products are getting higher and higher. Traditional welding processes can no longer meet the current high-quality and high-efficiency requirements of membrane box products in the aerospace field. Therefore, a new membrane box forming method is urgently needed to eliminate the risks brought by traditional welding methods and improve the production efficiency and quality of membrane box products.

[0061] Embodiment 2:

[0062] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an accumulator diaphragm box integral forming device, which realizes the integral forming of a large-diameter diaphragm box product with high shape and size accuracy, uniform diaphragm box performance, and strong service reliability through the combined deformation of free bulging and internal pressure supported bending bulging, thereby solving the problems of low production efficiency and unstable production quality of diaphragm boxes in the prior art.

[0063] The present invention provides an accumulator diaphragm integral forming method, which adopts the stretching deformation of the tube blank part to obtain the precision tube blank part corrugation, and realizes the manufacture of multi-corrugated diaphragm box products. The specific method is to fill the tube blank part with high-pressure fluid, design a variable and adjustable mold on the outside of the tube blank part, and the tube blank part realizes the corrugation forming under the joint action of the high-pressure fluid and the mold, and the control of the corrugation forming surface accuracy is realized by adjusting the fluid pressure, the mold surface and the mold action sequence. The integral forming of the diaphragm box has the characteristics of high shape and size accuracy, uniform diaphragm box performance, and strong service reliability.

[0064] The implementation process of this method is as follows: (1) Calculate the area of ​​local tensile deformation and determine the distance between the dies; (2) Calculate the deformation force and determine the fluid pressure; (3) Deform under single wave high pressure; (4) Maintain the mold movement under high pressure so that the deformation obtains a single wave upsetting; (5) Unload the internal pressure and reset the mold to increase the waveform distance; (6) Press the wave intermediate mold; (7) Apply pressure to the deformed area and the local area; (8) Repeat the process (3) to (5) to complete the forming of the second waveform; Repeat the above steps to complete the forming of the entire membrane box.

[0065] The length and diameter of the tube blank are determined according to the tensile and compressive deformation of the waveform, and are appropriately adjusted according to the material of the diaphragm box.

[0066] This method is suitable for materials with good room temperature plasticity, such as stainless steel and high-temperature alloys. For materials with poor plasticity, high and low temperature conditions can be adopted.

[0067] A method and device for integrally forming a diaphragm box of an accumulator, which realizes the forming of a diaphragm box product with a large diameter ratio through a combination of free bulging and bending bulging supported by internal pressure. The main device includes a fixed die, a movable core head, a pressing pad and a driving device.

[0068] The free bulging is a deformation under the action of a high-pressure fluid medium, during which the material flows freely and is replenished;

[0069] The bending and bulging is the extension and deformation of the material under the support of internal pressure. The internal pressure support during the deformation process prevents wrinkling defects from occurring.

[0070] The combination of free bulging and internal pressure supported bending bulging is to first achieve material gathering through free bulging, and then achieve material stretching through bending bulging;

[0071] The high pressure fluid medium can be a fluid in the form of liquid, gas, or semi-solid.

[0072] The fixed concave die can adopt different profiles according to the requirements to ensure the control of the bulging curved surface.

[0073] Free bulging means that under the action of the surface normal force, the local area of ​​the tube billet part drives the axial filling of one end of the tube billet part, and at the same time, the radial expansion occurs in the local area. The radial displacement and local deformation are determined by the surface area of ​​the waveform.

[0074] Free bulging is achieved by sealing one end of the tube blank part, using the internal moving core head and the outer mold to form a sealing area together, so that the tube blank part in the outer suspended area can be radially deformed under the action of internal pressure.

[0075] The high-pressure medium used for free bulging can be any fluid medium.

[0076] Upsetting deformation refers to the local deformation area of ​​free bulging supported by internal pressure, and the local extrusion deformation is completed by the axial movement of the movable die, so that the material spreads radially, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the wave crest and reducing the wavelength.

[0077] Internal pressure support refers to the use of high-pressure medium to provide normal force inside the model. In this process, the internal support force is regulated by the volume change of the aforementioned sealed space to achieve pressure increase, and a pressure control valve is designed to adjust the support force.

[0078] The combined deformation of free bulging and internal pressure supported bending bulging means that the forming order of a single wave is first free bulging to complete the axial aggregation of the single wave material, and then the mold compression realizes the radial spreading of the material, and completes the forming of a single wave in sequence.

[0079] The above process is only for achieving precise control of the waveform. Of course, for products with low precision requirements, axial aggregation and radial spreading can also be carried out simultaneously.

[0080] The mold comprises a mold base, a fixed head, a fixed die, a pressing pad, a pre-expansion limit mold, a movable die, a movable core head and a driving device, and a pressure control device.

[0081] The displacement of the movable core head and the movable die can be precisely adjusted along the axial direction. The interface between the movable core head and the tube blank part adopts a static sealing structure and can be adjusted along the axial direction. The pre-expansion limit die is a radially separable block structure and can be adjusted along the axial direction. The pressure pad is a radially separable block structure, the fixed die is connected to the die base, and the fixed head and the die base are high-pressure sealing structures.

[0082] Another object of the present invention is to propose a method for integrally forming a accumulator diaphragm box. The above-mentioned accumulator diaphragm box integrally forming device is used to fill a high-pressure fluid in a tube blank part. The tube blank part realizes corrugation forming under the joint action of the high-pressure fluid and the mold, and the fluid pressure, mold surface and mold action sequence are adjusted to realize the control of the surface accuracy of the corrugated forming, thereby solving the problems of low production efficiency and unstable production quality of diaphragm boxes in the prior art.

[0086] S2, pressurized bulging:

[0087] The movable core head screw is tightened and mechanically positioned, and high-pressure water medium is introduced through the internal flow channel of the connecting rod to cause the side wall of the tube blank part to bulge. The pressure of the high-pressure medium and the loading time are adjusted by the pressure control device. The other end of the tube blank part is automatically fed along the axial direction under the traction of the bulging force, and the bulging height is set by the pre-bulging limit die.

[0088] S3. Uninstall:

[0089] The movable core head, the fixed end cap, the pre-expansion limit die and the movable concave die are kept in fixed positions, and the pressure regulating device adjusts the pressure of the high-pressure medium to be unloaded to zero.

[0090] S4, bulging die shift:

[0091] The pre-expansion limiting die separates radially, and then rotates along point O to separate from the tube blank part and offset to one side.

[0092] S5, Pressing and upsetting:

[0093] The movable die moves axially, causing the deformed area to be upset axially. At the same time, the internal pressure generated by the volume compression of the tube blank part causes the material in the bulging area to spread radially under the traction of the internal pressure and axial pressure, thereby forming a single waveform.

[0094] S6, mold progressive reset:

[0095] After the pressure is released by the pressure adjusting device, the movable die is progressively displaced P in the axial direction, and the axial displacement relative to the initial position is λ. The pressing pad is installed, and then the pre-expansion limit die is progressively displaced λ in the axial direction. After returning to the position, it is radially closed, and the movable core head is also moved λ in the axial direction.
