Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft manufacturing, and in particular to a follow-up positioning flexible support unit structure for a machining process boss. Background Art

[0002] In the field of aircraft manufacturing, large-sized, complex curvature, deep-cavity parts require high machining accuracy and are difficult to control deformation. During the machining process, CNC milling and cutting are usually required to be turned over many times. The stress of the parts is continuously released during the machining and static process. Before fine machining, the datum needs to be repaired many times to eliminate the deformation of the parts. After fine-tuning and positioning the process datum features, the spatial position of the process boss positioning support surface changes, and the change value cannot be quantified. During the repeated flipping, clamping and positioning of the parts, the spatial position of the process boss positioning datum surface cannot be found quickly and accurately, which directly affects the machining accuracy and efficiency of the parts and cannot meet the high-precision manufacturing requirements of modern aircraft.

[0003] The traditional large-size complex curvature parts processing technology uses a bolt pressure plate clamping method to locate the boss. During the processing, the spatial position of the pressure plate needs to be adjusted frequently, resulting in low clamping efficiency, long processing cycle and high manufacturing cost.

[0004] It is difficult to determine the position of the process boss reference surface during repeated clamping and positioning during the processing of large-sized parts with complex curvature. The traditional positioning bolt and pressure plate positioning and clamping efficiency is low, the processing cycle is long, and the manufacturing cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a follow-up positioning flexible support unit structure for a machining process boss, which realizes accurate and efficient follow-up positioning of the process boss based on deformation during part machining, improves part machining accuracy, and shortens the machining cycle.

The cylindrical pin 7 passes through the oblong hole and is inserted into the cylindrical pin hole; the outer fine-pitch thread of the support column 2 is connected to the positioning nut 3. When the position of the support column 2 is adjusted, the positioning nut 3 is attached to the upper part of the support column 2, and the cylindrical pin 7 moves up and down in the guide hole;

[0009] The part processing technology boss 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the support column 2, and the positioning bolt 1 is passed through the part processing technology boss 10, the support column 2, the guide seat 4 and the base 5; the bottom of the positioning bolt 1 is threadedly connected with the base 5 through a threaded sleeve 8;

[0010] A spring 9 is sleeved on the positioning bolt 1, the upper end of the spring 9 is in contact with the second annular groove, and the lower end of the spring 9 is in contact with the first annular groove.

[0019] Optionally, the support column 2 and the guide seat 4 are matched with each other through a small clearance between the hole and the axis.

[0020] The present invention provides a follow-up positioning flexible support unit structure for a machining process boss, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1) Based on the deformation and repeated flipping and clamping positioning process of the part processing process, it can effectively solve the problem that the part processing process boss cannot quickly and accurately determine the spatial position. A height-adjustable support column structure is designed. As the spatial position of the part process boss reference surface changes, the support height position is adjusted to achieve the follow-up positioning support of the part processing process boss;

[0022] 2) Compared with the traditional bolt clamping and positioning method for large-sized and complex parts, the boss support surface of the part processing process can be quickly and accurately positioned by rotating the positioning nut, eliminating the tedious operations such as repeated debugging of the space position of the pressure plate and repeated installation of bolts in the traditional positioning process. The part positioning efficiency is high and the part processing cycle is effectively shortened;
