[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. For the convenience of description, if the words "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" appear in the following, they only indicate that the upper, lower, left and right directions are consistent with the drawings themselves, and do not limit the structure.
[0019] As shown in FIG2 , the reference numerals in the figure are: 201 is the bottom hole of the blank; 202 is a solid drill bit; 203 is the R angle of the bottom hole of the cavity; 204 is a bottom hole countersink drill bit; 205 is the boundary of the deep hole cavity hole; 206 is an expandable variable diameter cutter head; and 207 is a pull rod.
[0020] The present embodiment provides a method for processing a landing gear deep hole cavity, comprising the following steps: Step S1, formulate process flow The process flow includes the selection of a drilling machine and processing steps. The drilling machine may be a tower base deep hole drilling machine that supports X-axis drive.
[0021] Step S2, according to the process flow of step S1, select the deep hole processing tool bar The selection of the tool bar refers to the hole depth of the landing gear deep hole + oil collector length + top plate length + shock absorber length + chip conveyor length < tool bar length L < tower base deep hole drilling machine guide rail - spindle box length. After comprehensive consideration, a φ130mm×4500mm tool bar is selected.
[0022] Step S3, blade selection Step S3.1, deep hole drilling tool selection The deep hole drilling tool head is used to process the deep hole initial hole and form the bottom hole. In principle, the bottom hole is equal to or slightly smaller than the cavity diameter, and the cutting amount of the NC boring head (expandable variable diameter tool head 206) is reduced as much as possible. Since the bottom hole diameter of the cavity in the embodiment is φ139.9 mm, a φ139.9 mm solid drill 202 is selected.
[0023] Step S3.2, bottom hole countersink cutter selection The R angle 203 of the bottom hole of the cavity is 25mm, so a φ139.9R25 forming countersink is selected to process the R25 fillet.
[0024] Step S3.3, tool head selection for deep hole complex cavity machining When selecting an expanded tool, the size of the bottom hole and the expansion of the tool holder should be considered comprehensively. The maximum outer diameter nominal size of the expanded tool should be the same as the bottom hole, and the outer diameter tolerance of the expanded tool is recommended to adjust the guide bar to (-0.02, -0.05mm); the expansion of the tool holder should be able to cover the entire processing range.
[0025] In addition, after confirming the unfolded tool, confirm whether a transfer sleeve is required between the tool rod and the tool, whether the X-axis connecting rod needs to be adjusted, and confirm the tool expansion transmission ratio.
[0026] The processing principle of the unfolded tool: the unfolded tool can be regarded as an NC boring tool with a programmable tool head. Compared with the traditional boring tool which is subject to the disadvantages of hole depth, hole diameter, aspect ratio, tool vibration, tool letting, small cutting depth, etc., it has the advantages of one-cut forming, no hole depth limitation, large cutting depth, etc. When the unfolded tool is processed, it is first fed quickly to the bottom of the cavity, and then fed from the starting point of the bottom of the cavity toward the hole mouth. At the same time, the pull rod 207 drives the unfolded variable diameter tool head 206 to expand / contract to perform contour processing along the boundary 205 of the deep hole cavity (such as Figure 2c as shown).
[0027] Step S4, using the bottom hole as a guide and support, and controlling the tool to expand and profile the deep hole cavity through a numerical control program to complete the processing.
[0028] When compiling a program, compile the CNC program according to the cavity contour, and the programming principle is consistent with that of the CNC lathe. The variable values of the CNC program are mainly driven by the Z-axis and X-axis dimensions; the starting point of the program should be smaller than the bottom hole diameter, and the starting point of boring and drawing should be selected at the bottom of the hole; the F value (feed speed) during the X-axis expansion process should not be too large. When boring and drawing a straight surface, the F value can be appropriately increased, and the inclined surface can reduce the feed F value; correctly select the G02\G03 command according to the R angle.
