TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a large-depth-diameter-ratio pipe processing device, in particular to an automatic chamfering device for a hole in a side wall of a large-depth-diameter-ratio pipe. BACKGROUND
[0002] The large-depth-diameter-ratio pipe (hereinafter referred to as a pipe) refers to a part with a length divided by a minimum inner diameter greater than 10, such as a barrel of a cannon, a turbine shaft, an air duct in an aero-engine, and a wheel shaft of an aircraft landing gear. Such pipes work in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, and a large number of small-diameter holes need to be formed in the inner wall of the pipe. The holes are formed from the outside, and there are many burrs on the hole edges of the side wall of the pipe. In the traditional way, a scraper is used to remove material and chamfer the hole edges. However, since the large-depth-diameter-ratio pipe is usually made of high-strength steel which is difficult to machine, and the hole position is deep in the large-depth-diameter-ratio pipe, manual operation is not only low in efficiency and high in labor intensity, but also difficult to achieve high-precision machining. The patent CN202022210176.3 adopts a platform-type horizontal machining method, which adjusts the length of the main shaft and uses a scraper or a plurality of cutters to chamfer. This method can only realize the axial positioning and machining of chamfering, and has the problems of large machining platform size, high cost, low efficiency in clamping the pipe, etc. The patent CN201620913966.9 designs a chamfering machining cutter; and the patent CN202320599315.7 designs a cutter clamping main shaft structure, which uses an adjusting assembly to make the cutter deep into the pipe, and uses a scraper or a chamfering cutter to chamfer. However, this structure only has an axial feeding adjusting device for the pipe, and the tail end needs to be fixed on the machine tool support, which greatly limits the depth of the pipe. Moreover, the long main shaft has small rigidity, and the top end of the main shaft deforms greatly, which causes the cutter to let go, reduces the material removal force, and cannot quickly and accurately perform chamfering precision machining.

This invention employs multi-axis combined control, programming to control the spindle speed, forward and reverse rotation, grinding depth, and axial reciprocating movement of the elastic spherical grinding rod.

An endoscope positioned above the grinding rod allows for evaluation of the chamfer dimensions of the sidewall hole edges.
[0045] 4. The overall weight of the present invention is less than 10kg, making it a portable automatic processing device.

[0072] The bottom of the linear module 33 is fixed to the lower housing 19. The top of the linear module 33 is connected to the indexing plate 21 through the adapter bracket 32. The indexing plate 21 is connected to the spindle bracket 22. The left end of the spindle bracket 22 is connected to the spindle motor support 15 through the bearing 23. The spindle motor support 15 is connected to the spindle motor 14. The spindle motor 14 is connected to the spherical grinding rod 10 through the clamp. The mounting block 36 is fixed on the right crossbeam of the spindle bracket 22. The mounting block 36 is connected to the electric push rod 38. The bottom of the electric push rod 38 is connected to the right side of the spindle motor support 15. The endoscope 34 is fixed on the right crossbeam of the spindle bracket 22 through the support 37.
[0073] The adapter bracket 32 is L-shaped. Its short side is connected to the indexing plate 21 for transmitting rotational power, and its long side is connected to the top of the linear module 33 for increasing structural rigidity. The spindle motor support 15 adjusts the clamping force on the spindle motor 14 through bolts, thereby fixing the spindle motor 14.
[0074] The included angle between the axis of the spindle motor 14 and the central axis of the cylinder 7 is 30° to 60°.
[0075] The positioning unit includes a positioning pin 2, a head cover 9, a positioning sensor 35, a reducer 31, and an indexing motor 17. The size of the positioning pin 2 matches the size of the side wall hole 11. During operation, the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the side wall hole 11 from the outside to the inside, and its inner end extends out of the inner wall of the pipe fitting 1. The head cover 9 is installed on the spindle support 22. The positioning sensor 35 is fixed to the right cross beam of the spindle support 22 through a support 37. The indexing motor 17 is connected to the indexing plate 21 through the reducer 31. The outer shape of the head cover 9 is a stepped cylinder shape, and the difference between the outer radius of the right cylinder and the outer radius of the left cylinder is greater than the diameter of the inner end of the positioning pin 2.
[0076] When the inner end of the positioning pin 2 contacts the stepped surface on the right side of the head cover 9 and the diameter of the spherical grinding rod 10 is at its maximum size, the distance from the rotation center of the spindle motor support 15 to the stepped surface on the right side of the head cover 9 is greater than the distance from the rotation center to the spherical end of the spherical grinding rod 10.
[0077] Furthermore, the lower end of the electric push rod 38 is rotatably connected to the right end of the spindle motor support 15 through a rotating shaft.
[0078] Furthermore, the rotational speeds of the drive motor I and the drive motor II 28 are both less than 500 r / min.
[0079] Furthermore, the pin shaft 41 serves as the rotation center shaft of the pressing plate 25. The position of the pin shaft 41 is on the right side of the drive motor II 28, and the pressing plate 25 is fixed to the rear of the pin shaft 41.
[0080] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the upper housing 18 is "shaped like the Chinese character 'ji'". The cross-sectional shape of the lower housing 19 is symmetric with that of the upper housing 18 about the horizontal plane. The installation positions of the driving wheel I 4 and the driving wheel II 6 are symmetric about the horizontal plane. The installation positions of the driven wheel I 3 and the driven wheel II 8 are symmetric about the horizontal plane.
[0081] Furthermore, the positioning sensor 35 adopts a photoelectric switch or a laser displacement sensor.
[0082] Furthermore, the clamping end of the spindle motor 14 is connected to the shank of the spherical grinding rod 10 through a collet chuck.
[0083] Furthermore, the linear stroke length of the linear module 33 is greater than the maximum distance between two sets of adjacent sidewall holes 11 in the axial direction of the pipe fitting 1.
[0084] Furthermore, both drive motor I27 and drive motor II28 are DC geared speed-regulating dual-axis motors, meaning that the line connecting the two output shafts is perpendicular to the motor axis.
[0085] Furthermore, the connecting strip 20 is a square tube.
[0086] The spindle motor 14 has a stepless speed regulation range.
[0087] The bearing 23, which connects the spindle motor support 15 and the spindle bracket 22, is located at the bottom of the spindle motor support 15.
[0088] The measurement range of the positioning sensor 35 is greater than the maximum value of half the difference between the diameter of the pipe fitting 1 to be measured and the length of the electric push rod 38.
[0089] The spindle motor 14 has forward and reverse rotation functions.
[0090] The spherical grinding rod 10 is an elastic rod.
[0091] The electric push rod 38 is connected to the mounting block 36 via a pin 41.
[0092] Both the endoscope 34 and the positioning sensor 35 are securely mounted on the support 37 using set screws.
[0093] The endoscope 34 is installed directly above the spherical grinding rod 10 and is used to observe the chamfering quality of the sidewall hole 11 after processing. Its optimal focal length range covers the descent distance of the spherical grinding head.
[0094] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0095] First, adjust the distance between the nut 40 in tensioning mechanism I and the pressure rod 29 to compress the spring 24 and generate a restoring force, controlling the rotation of the swing bracket 30, thereby adjusting the position of the driven wheel II 8. Similarly, adjust the distance between the nut 40 in tensioning mechanism II and the pressure rod 29 to compress the spring 24 and generate a restoring force. Compressing the spring 24 controls the rotation of the pressure plate 25, thereby adjusting the tilt of the drive motor II 28, so that the driving wheel II 6 and the driven wheel II 8 are aligned. Place the positioning pin 2 into any of the side wall holes 11 to be machined in the first ring at the top of the pipe fitting 1, and then manually press the driving wheel II 6 and the driven wheel II 8 to compress the springs in their tensioning mechanisms. Place the entire device into the pipe fitting 1 and connect the power supply. The springs of the driving wheel II 6 and the driven wheel II 8 return to their original position and maintain contact with the inner surface of the pipe fitting 1.
[0096] The device then travels inside the pipe 1 via the walking unit until the inner end of the positioning pin 2 contacts the step position on the right side of the head cover 9, thus confirming the axial positioning of the side wall hole 11, and the movement stops.
[0097] The indexing motor 17 drives the indexing plate 21, causing the spindle support 22 to rotate. The positioning sensor 35 receives light signals to determine the circumferential endpoint of the side wall hole 11. The electric push rod 38 is connected to the spindle motor support 15, adjusting the tilt angle of the spindle motor 14 and the spherical grinding rod 10 to control the grinding depth. It works in conjunction with the linear module 33 to perform high-precision chamfering of the side wall hole 11.
[0098] After processing, the entire device is manually removed using the pull ring 5. The surface of the sidewall hole 11 is photographed using an endoscope 34 before and after processing to assess the processing quality.
[0099] Since the internal dimensions of the sidewall hole 11 cannot be completely symmetrical after it is drilled from the outside, in order to achieve consistency in the chamfer dimensions of the sidewall hole 11 after machining, the spindle motor 14 has a forward and reverse function. By first rotating the ball grinding head forward to process and then reversing to repeat the same trajectory, the consistency of the chamfer dimensions on both sides of the same sidewall hole 11 can be achieved.
[0100] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the working method of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0101] A. Control the two tensioning mechanisms to tilt the pressure plate 25 and the swing bracket 30 at a certain angle, and extend the driving wheel II6 and the driven wheel II8 a certain distance.
[0102] B. Press the driven wheel II8 and the driving wheel II6 in sequence to put the device into the pipe 1 until the driving wheel is fully inside the pipe 1. At this time, the driving wheel I4, driving wheel II6, driven wheel I3 and driven wheel II8 are all in contact with the inner wall of the pipe 1.
[0103] C. Connect the device to the power supply through plug 13 and press the power button to control the linear module 33 and electric push rod 38 to reset.
[0104] D. Place the locating pin 2 in the first sidewall hole 11 that needs to be machined at the top of the pipe fitting 1;
[0105] E. Control the drive motor I27 and drive motor II28 to rotate forward, so that the drive wheel I4 and drive wheel II6 rotate at a certain speed, driving the driven wheel I3 and driven wheel II8 to move, and the drive device travels in a straight line inside the pipe 1;
[0106] F. When the head cover 9 steps contact the inner end of the positioning pin 2, the walking unit stops linear feeding and controls the indexing plate 21 to rotate a certain angle.
[0107] G. Turn on the photoelectric switch. During the rotation of the indexing plate 21, the photoelectric switch identifies the angle of the side wall hole 11 in the circumference of the pipe fitting 1 due to the light transmission and obstruction of the side wall hole 11.
[0108] H. If the side wall holes 11 of the pipe fitting 1 are two rows of continuous and evenly distributed, the control linear module 33 and the indexing plate 21 will move together so that the photoelectric switch can identify the position of the second row of side wall holes 11 in the axial and circumferential directions.
[0109] I. After the photoelectric switch returns to its original position, execute the photoelectric switch tool setting procedure, open the endoscope 34, and photograph the surface morphology of the side wall hole 11.
[0110] J. After the tool setting is completed, control the electric push rod 38 to move linearly, and the height of the connection position of the right side of the spindle motor support 15 is reduced, so that the spherical grinding rod 10 contacts the left side of the side wall hole 11.
[0111] K. Control the spindle motor 14 to rotate, causing the ball grinding rod 10 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the feed motion of the linear module 33 and the electric push rod 38, controls the grinding depth of the ball grinding rod 10 and executes the processing program.
[0112] L. After completing the chamfering of all sidewall holes 11, the endoscope 34 takes pictures of the surface of the sidewall holes 11 and evaluates the surface quality of the sidewall holes 11 through the data processing program.
