DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a forging fixed milling equipment includes three semicircular ring rails 1 with overlapping rotation axes and independent rotations, the radius r of the three rails increases gradually from the inside to the outside, and the rotation centers of the three rails are movably connected to a common lifting fixed base 2, the lifting fixed base 2 is downwardly connected to a lifting pillar 2a to achieve controlled lifting, the lifting fixed base 2 is divided into two transversely mounted and non-contacting ones, the opposite surfaces of the two lifting fixed bases 2 are provided with adaptive air top clamps 3, the two adaptive air top clamps 3 extend toward each other to form a clamping array composed of a plurality of top clamping rods 3a, the clamping array can automatically form an adaptive shape according to the shape and position of the surface of the object, and firmly clamp the forging to be milled.

[0018] Specifically, in order to achieve milling with a high freedom angle, each semicircular rail 1 is movably sleeved with a slide 1a, a cross-axis turntable 1b is provided in the slide 1a, a telescopic column 1c is provided in the cross-axis turntable 1b, and a milling head 1d is connected to the end of the telescopic column 1c close to the center of the semicircular rail 1. The semicircular rail 1 includes a first semicircular rail 101, a second semicircular rail 102 and a third semicircular rail 103 arranged from the inside to the outside, all of which are composed of two parallel rows of monorails, and the cross-axis turntable 1b is sandwiched between the two rows of monorails. The cross-axis turret 1b includes a vertically connected transverse power steering seat 1b-1 and a longitudinal power telescopic seat 1b-2. The transverse power steering seat 1b-1 drives the longitudinal power telescopic seat 1b-2 to rotate perpendicularly to its central axis. The longitudinal power telescopic seat 1b-2 drives the telescopic column 1c to feed or retract linearly along its central axis. Combined with the sliding seat 1a sliding on the arc path on the semicircular ring rail 1, the end of the milling head 1d can be moved to all positions on the forging except the clamped part, realizing milling with high freedom angle. The three semicircular ring rails 1 form a multi-dimensional angle around the fixed forging, realizing multi-position and multi-angle milling at the same time.

[0019] At the same time, a milling cutter is installed on the milling head 1d. The milling cutter is a tool used to mill forgings. According to different process requirements, milling cutters of different shapes and cutting methods can be selected. The milling head 1d rotates coaxially based on the telescopic column 1c, driving the milling cutter to rotate for milling.

[0020] On the other hand, in order to achieve high-strength and high-adaptability fixation of forgings, the adaptive air top clamp 3 includes a total air chamber 3b and several sub-air chambers 3c connected to the total air chamber 3b. The total air chamber 3b is connected to the high-pressure gas supply device through an on-off valve. The sub-air chambers 3c are provided with pistons 3d one by one. The pistons 3d are connected to the top clamp rods 3a one by one. Each top clamp rod 3a moves independently and in parallel. By pressurizing the total air chamber 3b, it is dispersed into multiple sub-air chambers 3c. The pressure in each sub-air chamber 3c is equal, pushing the piston 3d to translate toward the outer end. The end of the top clamp rod 3a contacts the surface of the extruded forging, generating multiple independently movable support clamping points. These points can automatically adjust their positions according to the shape and position of the surface of the object to form an adaptive clamping shape. In addition, in order to increase the friction of fixed clamping, a pit is provided at the center of the head end of the top clamp rod 3a exposed outside the adaptive air top clamp 3 to contact the surface of the forging to form a negative pressure cavity.

[0021] The lifting fixed base 2 is connected to the two ends of the three semicircular ring rails 1 through three power turntables 6 arranged in parallel at equal intervals, so as to realize the independent operation of each semicircular ring rail 1. The power turntable 6 includes a fixed inner disk 6a and an outer disk 6b that is rotatably connected outside the inner disk 6a. The two are separated by an air-supported membrane, which significantly reduces the rotational friction and the torque loss. The arc outer edge of the inner disk 6a is provided with a V-shaped groove 6a-1, and the arc inner edge of the outer disk 6b is provided with a V-shaped ridge 6b-1. The V-shaped ridge 6b-1 is embedded in the V-shaped groove 6a-1 in a contactless manner. The inclined inner wall of the V-shaped groove 6a-1 is fitted with a ring-shaped array electromagnet 6a-2, and the inclined inner wall of the V-shaped ridge 6b-1 is fitted with a ring-shaped array permanent magnet 6b-2. By controlling the annular array electromagnet 6a-2 to generate magnetic force, a repulsive force or an attractive force is generated on the annular array permanent magnet 6b-2 to move its position, thereby controlling the outer disk 6b to rotate based on the inner disk 6a, and the movement of the outer disk 6b drives the semicircular ring track 1 fixed thereon to operate. The inner disk 6a is provided with a high-pressure air hole 6a-3 connected to the outside. The high-pressure air hole 6a-3 connects the gap between the V-shaped groove 6a-1 and the V-shaped ridge 6b-1. High-pressure gas fills the gap to produce an air-supported film, reducing the relative rotation torque loss.

[0022] A further optimization scheme is that an upper open container 4 is provided below the lifting fixed base 2, and various types of milling auxiliary liquids 5 can be filled and replaced in the upper open container 4, and the milling auxiliary liquid 5 is a mixture of one or more of a coolant, a lubricant and a cleaning liquid; during the milling process, a large amount of friction heat will be generated between the tool and the workpiece. For example, when a high-speed steel tool mills an alloy steel workpiece with a higher hardness, the heat generated by friction may cause the tool edge temperature to rise sharply. If not cooled in time, the hardness of the tool will decrease, and the wear will increase or even damage will occur. The milling coolant can absorb and take away this heat, effectively reducing the temperature of the tool and the workpiece, thereby extending the service life of the tool and ensuring the processing accuracy of the workpiece; during milling, there is relative movement between the tool and the workpiece surface, which will generate a large friction force, and the milling lubricant can form a lubricating film on the tool and workpiece surface. Taking the milling plane as an example, when the cutting edge of the milling cutter contacts the surface of the workpiece, the lubricating film can reduce the friction coefficient between them and reduce the cutting force, which not only helps to improve the quality of the machined surface and reduce the surface roughness, but also makes the milling process smoother and reduces the vibration and wear of the tool; at the same time, a large amount of chips will be generated during the milling process. When milling a workpiece of complex shape or performing deep groove milling, if the chips cannot be discharged in time, they will accumulate between the tool and the workpiece, affecting the continued processing. The milling cleaning fluid can wash the chips away from the processing area, so that the chips leave the contact area between the tool and the workpiece with the flow of the liquid. For example, when milling a mold cavity, good chip removal performance can ensure the smooth progress of the processing process and prevent chips from scratching the processed surface. The solution of the present invention can immediately lower the integral forging through the lifting fixed base 2 when necessary, and immerse it in the milling auxiliary liquid 5 as a whole, so as to achieve full one-time cooling, lubrication or cleaning of the whole.

[0023] When using a forging fixed milling device of the present invention, first move the forging to be processed between the lifting fixed base 2, pressurize the total air chamber 3b inside the adaptive air top clamp 3, and disperse the air pressure into multiple sub-air chambers 3c, pushing the piston 3d to translate toward the outer end, and the end of the top clamp rod 3a contacts the surface of the extruded forging, generating multiple independently movable supporting clamping points, and firmly fixing the forging between the two opposing adaptive air top clamps 3, driving the movement of the outer disk 6b to drive the semicircular ring track 1 fixed thereon to operate, forming a multi-dimensional angle The degree of rotation surrounds the fixed forging, the slide 1a slides or is fixed on the semicircular ring rail 1, the lateral power steering seat 1b-1 drives the longitudinal power telescopic seat 1b-2 to rotate or fix perpendicular to its central axis, the longitudinal power telescopic seat 1b-2 drives the telescopic column 1c to feed, retract or fix along its central axis, and the milling head 1d rotates coaxially based on the telescopic column 1c; the milling cutter is driven to rotate for milling. The above technical scheme comprehensively realizes multi-position and multi-angle milling at the same time, significantly improving the milling efficiency and accuracy. When selecting a milling tool, it is necessary to consider factors such as its material, size and shape, and select it according to different process requirements. When performing milling processing, it is necessary to control the speed, cutting depth and cutting force parameters in the processing process to ensure the processing quality and efficiency. The equipment is designed for automated processing of forgings, and realizes precise milling operations through synchronous clamping and rotation drive, effectively improving processing efficiency and accuracy. It is suitable for various types of forging processing, especially for the production of forgings with complex curved surfaces and high precision requirements.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. For ordinary technicians in this field, various changes, modifications or additions without departing from the concept of the present invention should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
