Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tail wing component processing technology, specifically to a tail wing component plastic forming mold and its application method. Background Technology
[0002] The tail fins of a flight component can control airflow during flight, helping it maintain stability and thus improving accuracy, and to some extent, increasing firing accuracy and range. Simultaneously, the tail fins can reduce kinetic energy loss due to air friction, allowing for more effective target penetration. For example... Figure 1 For example, the tail fin of a flight component has long been formed by machining, resulting in low material utilization, long process flow, and high cost.
[0003] Plastic forming technology typically achieves near-net-shape forming with high material utilization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new plastic forming technologies suitable for aircraft tail fins. In traditional aluminum and magnesium alloy plastic forming processes, multiple heat treatments are usually employed to improve the mechanical properties of the formed parts and meet usage requirements. This increases the process flow, and stress changes during heat treatment can lead to variations in the dimensions and precision of the formed parts, requiring corresponding adjustments to the process, which in turn increases production costs. Furthermore, tail fin-type parts have complex shapes, especially the tail section, which has a large aspect ratio. Material filling during plastic forming is difficult, and the material is easily affected by many factors such as mold structure, surface roughness, the direction of external forces during forming, forming method, and lubrication. These factors further influence the streamline direction, grain size, precipitation and strengthening of multiphases, and texture orientation, ultimately affecting the mechanical properties.
[0004] In summary, manufacturing tail fin parts for aircraft using existing methods requires multiple heat treatments and manual shaping, which cannot meet the requirements of high precision, high performance, and high efficiency, severely impacting their service performance. More importantly, existing methods struggle to achieve short-process and low-cost plastic forming of tail fin parts. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The method of using the plastic forming mold for the tail fin part in this invention includes the following steps:
[0016] S1. Based on the specific dimensions of the tail fin parts, calculate the corresponding dimensions of the blank and process it into a cylindrical blank with one end thicker than the other using ordinary die forging.
[0017] S2. The obtained billet is subjected to solution treatment. The temperature of aluminum alloy is controlled between 350-650℃, and the temperature of magnesium alloy is controlled between 250-550℃. The holding time is between 1-24 hours.
[0018] S3. Place the solution-treated billet in cold water or liquid nitrogen and keep it for 1-10 minutes for quenching.
[0019] S4. After quenching, the billet is kept at 60-150℃ for 2-20 hours for aging treatment.
[0020] S5. After aging treatment, the billets are heated to the predetermined temperature, between 350-650℃ for aluminum alloy and between 250-550℃ for magnesium alloy, and then placed in the first or third receiving tank for tail wing forming.
[0021] S6. Place the lower mold base in stepped groove one and the upper mold base in stepped groove two; or fix the left and right mold bases together with bolts and place them vertically in stepped groove one; drive the drive shaft to rotate through motor one and reducer, causing the lower and upper turntables to rotate, so that stepped groove one is opposite to arch plate one and stepped groove two is opposite to arch plate two. Then, extend the output end of cylinder one to move the sliding plate to the left. Drive the threaded rod to rotate through motor two, causing the T-shaped plate and push rod to move forward. Then, retract the output end of cylinder one and move the two push rods to the right, thereby pushing the upper mold base into the clearance groove and pushing the lower mold base into arch plate one; or push the left and right mold bases together into arch plate one.
[0022] S7. By extending the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, the upper mold base moves closer to the lower mold base. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder continues to extend to apply pressure, deforming the billet and forming a tail wing; or by extending the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, the punch is inserted into the receiving groove two to squeeze the billet, deforming the billet and forming a tail wing.
[0023] S8. After the blank is formed, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder retracts, and the punch pulls the L-shaped support arm and the support plate body upward to separate the upper mold base from the lower mold base; or the output end of the hydraulic cylinder and the punch are pulled out from the second receiving groove; then the output end of the second cylinder extends to drive the L-shaped plate to move to the left, and the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate and the blanking plate move forward, so that the upper mold base moves into the second stepped groove and the lower mold base moves into the first stepped groove; or the left mold base and the right mold base are pushed together into the first stepped groove.
[0024] Beneficial effects: By rotating the lower and upper turntables, the mold components can be sequentially transferred to the support frame. Then, by extending the output end of cylinder one, the sliding plate is moved to the left. The screw rod driven by motor two rotates, moving the T-shaped plate and push rod forward. Then, by retracting the output end of cylinder one, the two push rods move to the right, thus pushing the upper mold base into the clearance groove and pushing the lower mold base into the arched plate one; or pushing the left and right mold bases together into the arched plate one; by retracting the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, the punch pulls the L-shaped support arm upward. The upper and lower mold bases are separated by the support plate body; or the hydraulic cylinder output end and punch are pulled out from the receiving groove two; then the L-shaped plate is moved to the left by the extension of the output end of the cylinder two, and the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate and the blanking plate move forward, so that the upper mold base moves into the stepped groove two and the lower mold base moves into the stepped groove one; or the left and right mold bases are pushed together into the stepped groove one; the whole process is efficient and easy to operate; in addition, by designing the mold assembly into an upper and lower structure or a left and right structure, the operation is convenient and the precision is high when extruding the blank. More importantly, the solution of this invention successfully realizes the short-process, low-cost plastic forming of tail wing parts. Compared with the existing solution, the process is greatly shortened and the cost is significantly reduced (compared with the traditional machining method, the cost of tail wing parts of the same specification can be reduced by about 35%).
[0025] This invention also facilitates the optimization and combination of processes such as solution treatment, quenching, aging, plastic and superplastic forming through the optimized combination of specific mold structures and process control. Based on multi-scale microstructure control and multi-process and mold collaborative forming, it can form wing-like parts with good mechanical properties and meet high precision requirements.

A discharging assembly 800 is slidably connected to the support frame 400 and the pallet assembly 600. A mold assembly 900 is placed on the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 The rotation drive component 300 includes a drive shaft 301 that passes through and is fixed at the center of the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200. A reducer 302 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drive shaft 301, and a motor 303 is fixedly installed at the input end of the reducer 302. The motor 303 and the reducer 302 work together to drive the drive shaft 301 to rotate, thereby driving the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200 to rotate.
[0043] Please see Figure 4 The support frame 400 includes a base 401, which is attached to the right side of the lower turntable 100. The top of the base 401 is flush with the bottom wall of the stepped groove 101. Four sets of support rods 402 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 401 in a matrix arrangement. A top plate 403 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the four support rods 402. A limit ring 404 is fixedly installed in the middle of each support rod 402. An arched plate 405 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the left half of the base 401. A hydraulic cylinder 500 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 403, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 penetrates through the top plate 403.
[0044] Please see Figure 4The pallet assembly 600 includes a pallet body 601 slidably connected to four support rods 402. The pallet body 601 is located below the limiting ring 404, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, when the pallet body 601 is attached to the bottom of the limiting ring 404, the top of the pallet body 601 is flush with the bottom wall of the stepped groove 201. An L-shaped support arm 602 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the pallet body 601. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 is slidably connected to the horizontal part of the L-shaped support arm 602. A punch 603 is fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500. An clearance groove 604 is provided through the upper surface of the left half of the pallet body 601. An arched plate 605 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the left half of the pallet body 601. A guide groove 606 is provided through the upper surface of the right half of the pallet body 601. An installation groove 607 is provided through the rear side of the vertical part of the L-shaped support arm 602.
[0045] Please see Figure 5 The feeding assembly 700 includes a side plate 701 fixedly installed on the rear side of the support frame 400. A cylinder 702 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the side plate 701. A sliding plate 703 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 702. The sliding plate 703 is slidably connected to the rear side of the side plate 701. Two horizontal arms 704 are fixedly installed on the left side of the sliding plate 703. A motor 705 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the sliding plate 703. A threaded rod 706 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 705. A T-shaped plate 707 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 706. A threaded hole is opened at the right end of the T-shaped plate 707. Two push rods 708 are fixedly installed on the front side of the left end of the T-shaped plate 707. The two push rods 708 are slidably connected to the two horizontal arms 704 respectively, and the two push rods 708 are located on the upper side of the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200 respectively. This drives the threaded rod 706 to rotate via motor 705, causing the T-shaped plate 707 and the push rod 708 to move back and forth. When the push rod 708 moves backward and moves away from the top of the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200, collisions between the push rod 708 and the mold assembly 900 placed on the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200 are avoided. Figure 2 As shown, two notches can be made on the left side of the side plate 701 to avoid the push rod 708. Thus, when the sliding plate 703 moves to the right, it drives the push rod 708 to move to the right, allowing the push rod 708 to move into the notches. At this time, the two push rods 708 are respectively located above the base 401 and the support plate body 601.
[0046] Please see Figure 4The unloading assembly 800 includes a slide block 801 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rear half of the base 401.

A second cylinder 804 is fixedly installed on the right side of the slider 803. The second cylinder 804 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pallet body 601, so that when the pallet body 601 moves up and down along the support rod 402, the second cylinder 804 moves up and down synchronously, and the slider 803 slides along the vertical part of the L-shaped plate 802. An unloading plate 805 is slidably connected to the vertical part of the L-shaped plate 802, and the unloading plate 805 is slidably connected through a mounting groove 607. The unloading plate 805 moves up and down synchronously with the L-shaped support arm 602.
[0047] Please see Figures 6-11 The mold assembly 900 includes a lower mold base 901 and an upper mold base 902. The lower mold base 901 and the upper mold base 902 are respectively placed in stepped groove 101 and stepped groove 201. The top of the lower mold base 901 is provided with an array of slots 903. An insert 904 is slidably connected in the slots 903. There are nine slots 903. A boss 905 is fixedly installed on the top of the insert 904 near the center of the lower mold base 901. A receiving groove 906 is formed at the center of the top of the lower mold base 901. Lower tail wing grooves 907 are arranged in an array on the top of the lower mold base 901. A mating groove 908 is arranged in an array on the bottom of the upper mold base 902, and the mating groove 908 corresponds one-to-one with the insert 904. An upper tail wing groove 909 is arranged in an array on the bottom of the upper mold base 902, and the upper tail wing groove 909 corresponds one-to-one with the lower tail wing groove 907. The upper tail wing groove 909 and the lower tail wing groove 907 cooperate to form a tail wing forming groove. An extrusion pusher is provided between the insert 904 and the upper mold base 902.
[0048] When the upper die holder 902 moves from the stepped groove 201 to the top of the support plate body 601, the arched plate 605 limits the upper die holder 902; when the lower die holder 901 moves from the stepped groove 101 to the top of the base 401, the arched plate 405 limits the lower die holder 901. When the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 extends, the support plate body 601 and the upper die holder 902 move downward under the action of gravity until the upper die holder 902 is attached to the top of the lower die holder 901. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 continues to extend, and the upper die holder 902 can be pushed downward by the punch 603.
[0049] Please see Figures 6-8 Example 1: The extrusion pusher includes an inclined rod 910 fixedly installed on the top of the insert 904. An inclined groove 911 is formed through the top of the upper die base 902, connecting to the mating groove 908. The inclined rod 910 is inserted into the inclined groove 911. When the upper die base 902 moves downwards...
[0050] Using 7075 aluminum alloy as the billet, the dimensions of each part of the billet are determined by calculation based on the principle of equal volume;
[0051] The billet is placed in a constant temperature furnace, which is then evacuated and purged with nitrogen to allow oxidation. The temperature is controlled at 580℃, and the holding time is 18 hours.
[0052] After solution treatment, the 7075 aluminum alloy billet is taken out of the constant temperature furnace and immediately placed in cold water at 25°C for 2 hours.
[0053] Remove the billet from the cold water and place it in a constant temperature furnace, where the temperature is controlled at 120℃ and held for 12 hours.
[0054] The mold assembly 900 and the blank are heated to the same temperature, 520℃. The blank is held at this temperature for 10 minutes to promote temperature uniformity. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 extends at a speed of 1mm / s. Under the pressure of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500, the tilting rod 910 is inserted into the tilting groove 911 and continues to move downward with the upper mold base 902. The upper mold base 902, located on the inner wall of the tilting groove 911, squeezes the tilting rod 910, causing the nine tilting rods 910 to converge towards the center of the lower mold base 901. This, in turn, causes the nine inserts 904 to converge towards the center of the lower mold base 901. Under the action of the inserts 904 and the boss 905, the blank is forced to move in the opposite direction, and the forming is completed.
[0055] Please see Figures 9-11 Example 2: The extrusion pusher includes an extrusion ring 912 fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper die base 902. The inner diameter of the extrusion ring 912 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The side of the insert 904 away from the center of the lower die base 901 is attached to the inner wall of the extrusion ring 912.
[0056] Using 7A04 aluminum alloy as the billet, the dimensions of each part of the billet were determined by calculation based on the principle of equal volume;
[0057] The billet is placed in a constant temperature furnace, which is then evacuated and purged with nitrogen to allow oxidation. The temperature is controlled at 560℃, and the holding time is 12 hours.
[0058] After solution treatment, the 7A04 aluminum alloy billet is taken out of the constant temperature furnace and immediately placed in cold water at 10°C for 1.5 hours.
[0059] The billet is removed from cold water and placed in a constant temperature furnace at 80℃ for 10 hours. The mold assembly 900 and the billet are then heated to the same temperature, 540℃, and the billet is held at this temperature for 10 minutes to promote temperature uniformity. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 extends at a speed of 10⁻⁴ mm / s, which constitutes superplastic forming. Under the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 500's output end, the insert 904 and boss 905 are pushed inward by the inner wall of the extrusion ring 912, i.e., moving inward along the radial direction. The billet is forced to move in the opposite direction under the action of the insert 904 and boss 905, thus completing the forming process.

[0061] Using AM80 magnesium alloy as the billet, the dimensions of each part of the billet were determined by calculation based on the principle of equal volume;
[0062] The billet is placed in a constant temperature furnace, which is then evacuated and purged with nitrogen to allow oxidation. The temperature is controlled at 420℃, and the holding time is 16 hours.
[0063] After solution treatment, the AM80 magnesium alloy billet is taken out of the constant temperature furnace and immediately placed in cold water at 25°C for 1 hour.
[0064] Remove the billet from the cold water and place it in a constant temperature furnace, where the temperature is controlled at 80℃ and held for 12 hours.
[0065] The mold assembly 900 and the blank are heated to the same temperature, 460°C, and the blank is held at this temperature for 10 minutes to promote temperature uniformity. The left mold base 913 and the right mold base 914 are fixed together by bolts passing through bolt holes 919 and placed vertically in the stepped groove 101. When the left mold base 913 and the right mold base 914 are transferred to the top of the base 401, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 extends, the punch 603 is inserted into the receiving groove 916 and moves downward at a speed of 2 mm / s to complete the forming process.
[0066] The method of using the plastic forming mold for the tail wing part in the embodiment is as follows:
[0067] S1. Calculate the corresponding dimensions of the blank from aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy according to the specific dimensions of the tail fin parts, and process it into a cylindrical blank with one end thicker than the other using ordinary die forging method.
[0068] S2. The obtained billet is subjected to solution treatment. The temperature of aluminum alloy is controlled between 350-650℃, and the temperature of magnesium alloy is controlled between 250-550℃. The holding time is between 1-24 hours.
[0069] S3. Place the solution-treated billet in cold water or liquid nitrogen and keep it for 1-10 minutes for quenching.
[0070] S4. After quenching, the billet is kept at 60-150℃ for 2-20 hours for aging treatment.
[0071] S5. The billet after aging treatment is heated to a predetermined temperature according to the type of alloy: 350-650℃ for aluminum alloy and 250-550℃ for magnesium alloy. It is then placed in the receiving tank 906 or the receiving tank 917 for tail wing forming.
[0072] S6. Place the lower mold base 901 in the stepped groove 101 and the upper mold base 902 in the stepped groove 201; or fix the left mold base 913 and the right mold base 914 together with bolts, and place the left mold base 913 and the right mold base 914 vertically in the stepped groove 101; drive the drive shaft 301 to rotate through the cooperation of the motor 303 and the reducer 302, thereby driving the lower turntable 100 and the upper turntable 200 to rotate, so that the stepped groove 101 is opposite to the arch plate 405, and the stepped groove 201 is opposite to the arch plate 405. With plates 605 facing each other, the output end of cylinder 702 extends, causing sliding plate 703 to move to the left. Motor 705 drives threaded rod 706 to rotate, causing T-shaped plate 707 and push rod 708 to move forward. Then, the output end of cylinder 702 retracts, and the two push rods 708 move to the right, thereby pushing upper mold base 902 into clearance groove 604 and pushing lower mold base 901 into arched plate 405; or pushing left mold base 913 and right mold base 914 together into arched plate 405.
[0073] S7. By extending the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500, the upper mold base 902 moves closer to the lower mold base 901. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 continues to extend to apply pressure, causing the blank to deform and form a tail wing; or by extending the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500, the punch 603 is inserted into the receiving groove 916 to squeeze the blank, causing the blank to deform and form a tail wing.
[0074] S8. After the blank is formed, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 retracts, and the punch 603 pulls the L-shaped support arm 602 and the support plate body 601 upward, so that the upper mold base 902 and the lower mold base 901 are separated; or the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 500 and the punch 603 are pulled out from the second receiving groove 916; then the output end of the second cylinder 804 extends to drive the L-shaped plate 802 to move to the left, and the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate 802 and the blanking plate 805 move forward, so that the upper mold base 902 moves into the second stepped groove 201, and the lower mold base 901 moves into the first stepped groove 101; or the left mold base 913 and the right mold base 914 are pushed together into the first stepped groove 101.
