Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plastic forming processing, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency processing method for a small-diameter metal thin-walled spherical crown. Background Art

[0002] As a key part of a product in the aerospace field, the metal thin-walled spherical crown is used in large quantities and has high precision requirements. The initial method for processing this part was to directly use forging machining. The raw material utilization rate of a single spherical crown was less than 3%, and the product was repeatedly turned over between machining and heat treatment processes. Xi'an Aerospace Power Machinery Co., Ltd. proposed a process method for manufacturing thin-walled spherical crown parts based on modulated sheet metal spinning in its invention with patent number CN112275878 A. The core of the process is to pre-strengthen and temper the 30CrMnSiA steel slab before spinning to make its hardness HRC23~30. After the sheet metal is pre-formed by spinning, it is machined to remove the excess part. However, the diameter of the small end of the product processed by this invention is Φ300~Φ1000mm. In actual processing, a plate blank of one size can only be processed into a thin-walled spherical crown of one size. It is necessary to prepare corresponding spinning plate blanks and spinning molds for products of different sizes. The product corresponds to the plate blank and the spinning mold one by one. After processing each size of product, it is necessary to disassemble and install the next mold again, and re-align it, which increases the processing time by at least 40 minutes, and the efficiency is low. Xi'an Xiangyang Aerospace Materials Co., Ltd. proposed a production and manufacturing method for thin-walled double spherical reinforcements for flexible joints in its invention with patent number 202211367354.O. The core of this method is to optimize the machining fixtures from forgings to products and improve the utilization rate of fixtures. However, rough machining, semi-finishing, finishing and multiple intermediate heat treatments are required from forgings to products. The processing efficiency is low and the utilization rate of raw materials is low.

[0003] In summary, when processing thin-walled spherical crown parts with a large end diameter of ≤Φ300mm by the above two methods, there will be many types of molds and blank sizes; low processing efficiency and low raw material utilization. The present invention proposes to use 30CrMnSiA steel plate with a hardness requirement of HRC33-38, and through reasonable design of the spinning core mold and blank size, a small number of molds are used to process two or more products of one size of plate blank, and the best processing technology and processing flow are designed for the production and manufacturing of products.

[0025] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The present invention proposes an efficient processing method for metal thin-walled spherical crown parts with a large end diameter of ≤Φ300mm. By reasonably designing the spinning core mold and the blank size and matching the spinning process parameters, it is possible to use a small number of molds and a small number of specifications of plate spinning blanks to process all sizes of products. The number of mold replacements is reduced, and under the premise of ensuring product processing accuracy, the processing efficiency of the product is improved, and the processing cycle and cost are reduced.

[0027] To achieve the above object, the processing method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: Design and process the spinning core mold, inspection fixture and sheet blank according to the product size.

[0029] The large end diameter of the product is ≤Φ300mm, the wall thickness is ≤2.0mm, the material is 30CrMnSiA, the hardness of the plate blank is required to be HRC33~38, the thickness is recommended to be 8~13mm, and the thinning rate of the plate blank is not more than 50%. The effective height dimension of the semi-finished spherical crown after spinning has a reserve margin of more than 15mm above and below the product height, and the thickness dimension has a reserve margin of more than 1.0mm on one side based on the product thickness. The effective height of the core mold is greater than the effective height of the semi-finished product after spinning, and the gap between the starting point and the root and the spinning product transitions evenly from 0mm to 1.0~2.0mm. The outer surface and height of the inspection fixture are consistent with the inner surface and height of the semi-finished spherical crown after spinning. The plate blank is calculated based on the blank of the variable wall thickness curved mother line.

[0030] Step 2: Install the spinning core mold, spinning wheel and tail top on the spinning machine.

[0031] The circular runout of the spinning mandrel in the upper, middle and lower sections is not greater than 0.05. The synchronous spinning method is adopted, the roundness of the spinning wheel is R15~R25, and the axis of the spinning wheel and the axis of the mandrel form a certain angle to ensure that shear spinning mainly occurs during the spinning process to form a curved generatrix rotating body component.

[0032] Step 3: Install the spinning blank.

[0033] Put the spinning blank on the spinning core mold. When the tail top is pressed tightly, there is no interference between the spinning point of the spinning wheel and the tail top.

[0034] Step 4: Spinning the sheet blank.

[0035] Spinning is carried out in two passes, and the total thinning rate is not more than 50%. Spinning forms semi-finished spherical crown parts. When testing the wall thickness of the upper, middle and lower sections, they are not less than the thickness with margin. The gap between the large end of the workpiece and the core mold is not more than 1.0-2.0mm, and the gap between the bottom end of the inspection fixture and the semi-finished spherical crown part is not more than 0.5mm.

[0036] Step 5: Heat treat the supination ball crown to eliminate internal stress.

[0037] Step 6: Machining the semi-finished ball crown after heat treatment, removing the allowance in the height direction and thickness direction, and processing it into the finished product size. By adjusting the upper allowance and the lower allowance, two or more sizes of products can be machined from the semi-finished ball crown of the same sheet blank size. At this point, the processing of small-diameter thin-walled ball crowns is completed.

[0038] Example:

[0039] The product of the thin-walled spherical crown processed in this embodiment is as follows Figure 1 As shown, there are 10 products of different sizes, with a wall thickness of (δ±0.1) mm, a height of H, a roundness of no more than 0.2-0.4 mm, a large end diameter of 250-300 mm, and a spherical radius R determined according to design requirements. The specific process steps are as follows:

[0040] Step 1: Design and process the spinning core mold, inspection fixture and sheet blank according to the product size.

[0041] The blank material is 30CrMnSiA; the hardness of the plate blank is required to be HRC33~38, and the thickness is 10mm. The effective height dimension of the semi-finished spherical crown after spinning has a reserve margin of 15mm above and below the product height, and the thickness dimension has a reserve margin of 1.8mm on one side based on the product thickness. The effective height of the core mold is greater than the effective height of the semi-finished product after spinning, and the gap between the starting part and the root and the spinning product transitions evenly from 0mm to 1.6mm. The outer surface and height of the inspection fixture are consistent with the inner surface and height of the semi-finished spherical crown after spinning. The plate blank is calculated based on the variable wall thickness curved mother line blank, and there are 5 sizes of blanks.

[0042] Step 2: Install the spinning core mold, spinning wheel and tail top on the spinning machine.

[0043] The circular runout of the spinning core mold in the upper, middle and lower sections is not greater than 0.05. The synchronous spinning method is adopted, the roundness of the spinning wheel is R25, and the axis of the spinning wheel is 27° with the axis of the core mold, ensuring that shear spinning mainly occurs during the spinning process to form a curved generatrix rotating body component.

[0044] Step three: install the spinning blank.

[0045] Put the spinning blank on the spinning core mold. When the tail top is pressed tightly, there is no interference between the spinning point of the spinning wheel and the tail top.

[0046] Step 4: Spinning the sheet blank.

[0047] Spinning is carried out in two passes, with a total thinning rate of 46%. Spinning forms semi-finished spherical crown parts. When testing the wall thickness of the upper, middle and lower sections, they are all no less than (δ+3.6) mm. The gap between the large end of the workpiece and the core mold is no more than 1.6 mm, and the gap between the bottom end of the inspection fixture and the semi-finished spherical crown part is no more than 1.0 mm.

[0048] Step five, heat-treating the supination ball crown to eliminate internal stress.

[0049] Step 6: Machining the semi-finished ball crown after heat treatment, removing the allowance in the height direction and thickness direction, and processing it into the finished product size. By adjusting the upper allowance and the lower allowance, two or more sizes of products can be machined from the semi-finished ball crown of one sheet blank size. At this point, the processing of small-diameter metal thin-walled ball crowns is completed.
