Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a finishing positioning device and a positioning method for a fork ear docking hole of an aircraft component. Background Art
[0002] In the manufacturing process of modern aircraft, in order to eliminate the accumulated errors caused by positioning and assembly deformation during the assembly process, the method of margin compensation is adopted, that is, after the assembly of parts and components is completed, the surfaces, holes, grooves, skin edges, etc. of the docking parts are reprocessed according to special process equipment to meet the interchange and coordination between parts or certain functional requirements. The fork ears have high matching accuracy and generally multiple sets of fork ears are matched and coordinated with each other, so the assembly accuracy requirements are high.
[0003] When coordination and manufacturing accuracy can meet the docking requirements, the fork ear matching holes are generally processed to the final holes by separate CNC, and then assembled on the combined fixture. After the parts are assembled, the large parts are directly docked. When docking parts with high manufacturing accuracy requirements but low interchangeability requirements, a certain amount of machining allowance is generally reserved for the fork ear matching holes, and the fork ear matching holes are simultaneously machined to the final holes when the large parts are docked. When coordination and manufacturing accuracy cannot meet the docking requirements, a certain amount of machining allowance is reserved for the fork ear matching holes, and the fork ear matching holes are separately machined to the final holes using the same drilling jig before the large parts are docked, and then the large parts are docked.
[0004] When the requirements for the interchangeable coordination and manufacturing accuracy of the fork ears of large aircraft components are high, the accumulated errors formed due to the long error transmission chain for coordination using standard tools do not meet the current situation of direct docking requirements. The fork ear matching holes are separately CNC-machined and a certain machining allowance is reserved. The assembly is completed on the aircraft component assembly jig. Before the large components are docked, the fork ear matching holes are respectively machined to the final holes using the same drill jig, and then the large components are docked. Based on the above process method, the present invention proposes a finishing positioning device for fork ear docking holes. The device integrates the positioning tooling with the finishing drill jig to complete the finishing of the fork ear matching holes, thereby eliminating the accumulated errors in the assembly process and meeting the requirements for interchangeable coordination and high-precision matching of large component docking. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a component fork ear docking hole finishing positioning device and positioning method, in view of the accumulated errors formed due to coordination error transmission, positioning and assembly deformation during the assembly process of aircraft parts. The initial hole of the fork ear docking hole is processed to the final hole before the large parts are docked, so as to eliminate the accumulated errors in the assembly process and meet the requirements of interchangeable coordination and high-precision matching of the docking of large parts.

The support platform 1 is a rigid support frame, which is fixed to the floor of the factory assembly area with anchor bolts. The drilling template frame 2 is a frame structure, and the lower surface of the drilling template frame is mounted on the support platform. The drilling template frame 2 is provided with a connecting hole for mounting the drilling template body 3. The drilling template body 3 is an integrated double-ear structure. There are two coaxial drilling template holes on the double ears of the drilling template body 3.
