Description

[0002] In the turning process of sleeve parts, in order to ensure machining accuracy and efficiency, fixed-size mandrels or fixed-size soft jaws are usually used for clamping. This method performs well in mass production of single-model parts and can ensure production consistency and efficiency. However, in the current aviation machining companies, the market environment has changed significantly, market competition is increasingly fierce, and the production model has gradually shifted to a state dominated by small batches and multiple models. This change in production mode has brought new challenges to the processing of sleeve parts.

[0003] Specifically, undertaking the processing tasks of various sets of parts means that the company needs to prepare a large number of special fixtures to meet the clamping needs of different parts. This not only increases the inventory pressure of special fixtures, but also leads to an increase in consumables such as turning soft jaws, thereby increasing production costs. In order to solve this problem, the company urgently needs to develop a universal mandrel fixture that can be applied to a variety of set parts to reduce tooling consumption and inventory pressure.

[0004] However, there are two major technical difficulties in the development of universal mandrel fixtures:

[0005] First of all, the universal mandrel fixture needs to meet the use requirements of different types of sleeve parts, including through-sleeve parts and non-through-sleeve parts. Due to the different structural characteristics and use requirements of these two types of parts, the universal mandrel fixture needs to have sufficient flexibility and adaptability to ensure stable and accurate clamping in various situations.

[0006] Secondly, after adjusting the diameter of the universal mandrel, the universal mandrel fixture must solve the problem of dimensional instability caused by the looseness of the adjustment mechanism. Since the adjustment of the mandrel diameter is the key to the versatility of the universal mandrel fixture, the stability and reliability of the adjustment mechanism are crucial. Once the adjustment mechanism becomes loose, it will cause the mandrel diameter to change, which will affect the processing accuracy and part quality.

[0007] Therefore, an adjustable inner expansion mandrel fixture for sleeve-type parts processing is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention
