Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal heat treatment, and in particular to a high-precision, high-life, and high-efficiency wave spring aging tool for an aero-engine. Background Art

[0002] Wave springs have the characteristics of small space and uniform force, which are very suitable for use in conditions with limited space, so they are widely used in the field of aircraft engines. However, due to the complex surface of wave springs and the need to undergo multiple compression processes during use, the technical documents have high requirements for their dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. Therefore, they need to be subjected to aging heat treatment after initial forming in order to achieve the purpose of finalization.

[0003] For the aging heat treatment of wave springs for aircraft engines, there are currently the following main problems:

[0004] (1) Poor dimensional accuracy of parts

[0005] At present, the aging heat treatment tooling for wave springs can be roughly divided into two types. One is single-piece part clamping, where the upper and lower modules of the tooling are connected by a screw and a nut. Due to the different material properties of this type of tooling during use, for wave springs made of certain alloys with good elasticity, the edge of the part has a poor fit with the tooling after aging, and even manual correction is required to meet the dimensional requirements in the technical documents. The second type is single-time multi-piece clamping. This type of tooling cannot ensure that multiple pieces of parts fit each other completely during installation, so it is not suitable for the manufacture of wave springs for aircraft engines.

[0006] (2) Low service life and loading and unloading efficiency of time-consuming tooling

[0007] The locking method of traditional aging tooling is threaded connection. After repeated use, the threads are deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction. During disassembly, the threads and nuts stick together. In serious cases, the entire tooling will be scrapped. In addition, the threads of this type of tooling are usually long, and loading and unloading are also time-consuming. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the background technology. The present invention proposes a high-precision, high-life, and high-efficiency wave spring aging tool for aircraft engines. The tool is considered from three aspects: part dimensional accuracy, tool life, and loading and unloading efficiency. The main structure includes five parts: base plate, shaft, pressure plate, open washer, and shouldered hexagonal nut. By circumferentially distributing the bolts of the pressure plate and base plate and using open washers, the dimensional accuracy of the parts and the service life of the tool are improved while meeting the requirements of fast loading and unloading.

[0009] The present invention provides a high-precision, high-life, high-efficiency wave spring aging tool for aircraft engines, which is characterized in that the high-precision, high-life, high-efficiency wave spring aging tool for aircraft engines comprises: a base plate 1, a large shaft 2, a pressure plate 3, a large open washer 4 with a specification of 24-60, three small shafts 5, three small open washers 6 with a specification of 16-40, three small shouldered hexagonal nuts 7 with a specification of M16, and a large shouldered hexagonal nut 8 with a specification of M24;

[0010] Wherein: the bottom plate 1 is a hollow tubular structure, with 6 holes evenly distributed along the circumference, one end of the bottom plate 1 is a plane, and the other end of the bottom plate 1 is consistent with the wave surface of the wave spring; the pressure plate 3 is a hollow tubular structure corresponding to the bottom plate 1, with 6 holes evenly distributed along the circumference, one end of the bottom plate 3 is a plane, and the other end of the bottom plate 3 is consistent with the wave surface of the wave spring; the wave surfaces of the bottom plate 1 and the pressure plate 3 are placed opposite to each other for clamping the wave spring;

[0011] The large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5 are both two-stage boss structures, the first-stage boss is provided with threads, and the diameter of the second-stage boss is larger than the first-stage boss;

[0012] The bottom plate 1 passes through the second-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5, and the pressure plate 3 passes through the first-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5; the large open washer 4 and the small open washer 6 pass through the first-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5 respectively and are placed on the plane end of the pressure plate 3, and the large open washer 4 contacts the large shaft 2, and the small open washer 6 contacts the small shaft 5; the small open washer 6, the large open washer 4, the pressure plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 are clamped by tightening the small shouldered hexagonal nut 7 and the large shouldered hexagonal nut 8 to realize the clamping of the wave spring;

[0013] The inner ring size of the split washer is larger than the shoulder size of the shouldered hexagon nut.

[0014] There is one wave spring placed between the base plate 1 and the pressure plate 3 .

[0015] The base plate 1 and the pressure plate 3 are made of GH3044 high temperature alloy.

[0016] The material of the large shaft 2, the small shaft 5, the large open washer 4, the small open washer 6, the small shouldered hexagonal nut 7 and the large shouldered hexagonal nut 8 is 1Cr18Ni9Ti.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] The high-precision, high-life, and high-efficiency wave spring aging tool for aircraft engines described in the present invention distributes the bolts of the pressure plate and the base plate circumferentially and uses open washers. While meeting the requirements of fast loading and unloading, it improves the dimensional accuracy of the parts and the service life of the tooling, and effectively prevents the tooling from being scrapped due to thread adhesion.

[0028] The large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5 are both two-stage boss structures, the first-stage boss is provided with threads, and the diameter of the second-stage boss is larger than the first-stage boss;

[0029] The bottom plate 1 passes through the second-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5, and the pressure plate 3 passes through the first-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5; the large open washer 4 and the small open washer 6 pass through the first-stage bosses of the large shaft 2 and the small shaft 5 respectively and are placed on the plane end of the pressure plate 3, and the large open washer 4 contacts the large shaft 2, and the small open washer 6 contacts the small shaft 5; the small open washer 6, the large open washer 4, the pressure plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 are clamped by tightening the small shouldered hexagonal nut 7 and the large shouldered hexagonal nut 8 to realize the clamping of the wave spring;

[0030] The inner ring size of the split washer is larger than the shoulder size of the shouldered hexagon nut.

[0031] There is one wave spring placed between the base plate 1 and the pressure plate 3 .
