Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of special processing of thin-walled sheet metal parts, and particularly relates to a wire cutting fixture applicable to thin-walled sheet metal parts with notches and a using method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the processing and production of aviation equipment, various sheet metal parts are required. Most of the sheet metal parts are processed by turning and welding. The processing of conventional sheet metal parts is relatively simple. However, for some annular sheet metal parts, features such as circumferentially distributed round holes, waist-shaped holes, special-shaped holes, and notches need to be processed. However, sheet metal parts are prone to deformation themselves, and have the characteristics of the larger the diameter and the thinner the wall thickness. Therefore, the processing difficulty of these slots and holes will be significantly increased. When these special sheet metal parts are processed by turning, the sheet metal parts are prone to vibration and springback. Therefore, not only the cutting force should not be too large, but also the circumferential dimension consistency of the processed sheet metal parts will be poor, and the processing efficiency is not high. For some sheet metal parts with notches less than 0.5 mm, ordinary machining methods simply cannot process them, and special cutting processes such as wire cutting are required to process the sheet metal parts. In the wire cutting process of thin-walled sheet metal parts with notches, there are still many problems. It is necessary to ensure that the sheet metal parts do not deform and do not undergo axial displacement during the processing. Moreover, after cutting one notch, the angular position needs to be adjusted to ensure the correct relative position of each notch. When cutting the second notch, corresponding problems need to be handled, and so on. There is an urgent need to solve the technical problems encountered in the wire cutting process of thin-walled sheet metal parts with multiple notches.
[0003] The invention patent with the application number "202310872961.0" and the name "A Welding Positioning Tooling and Welding Method for a Thin-Walled Sheet Metal Assembly" mentions a welding positioning tooling and welding method for a thin-walled sheet metal assembly. The positioning tooling includes: a first positioning component; a second positioning component; a third positioning component; a fourth positioning component; a fifth positioning component. After the present invention disassembles the thin-walled sheet metal assembly into multiple groups of components and completes welding one by one, and then combines and welds the components, the problem of deformation of the key parts of the thin-walled sheet metal assembly due to welding stress is effectively avoided through the limitation of the positioning tooling. The overall welding processing accuracy is high, ensuring the welding quality of the thin-walled sheet metal assembly. However, it is not suitable for the wire cutting processing technology of thin-walled sheet metal parts with multiple notches, nor can it handle the technical problems of low processing accuracy caused by the deformation of sheet metal parts and notches.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wire cutting fixture applicable to thin-walled sheet metal parts with notches and a using method thereof to solve the technical problems encountered in the wire cutting process of existing thin-walled sheet metal parts with notches. Summary of the Invention

There are two pressing blocks, and the two pressing blocks are symmetrically arranged horizontally about the central position of the upper die. The outer end of the upper die is connected to the outer end of the lower die by pressing the upper surface of the upper die with the pressing block. A limiting screw vertically passing through the pressing block is arranged on the pressing block. The limiting screw sequentially passes through the pressing block, the upper die and the lower die from top to bottom. The pressing plate is arranged above the die limiting groove. The lower part of the pressing plate extends into a part limiting groove arranged at the upper end of the middle position of the upper die. A fixing screw vertically passing through the pressing plate and extending into the die limiting groove is arranged above the pressing plate. The fixing screw sequentially passes through the pressing plate, the upper die and the lower die from top to bottom. A limiting cavity with an opening downward is arranged at the bottom of the lower die, and a fixing nut connected to the bottom of the fixing screw is arranged inside the limiting cavity.
[0008] Further, a plurality of evenly distributed and vertically extending indexing holes are arranged in the circumferential direction of the outer circle of the upper die, and a positioning hole with the same size as the indexing hole is arranged on the lower die. The positioning hole is vertically arranged below the indexing hole.
[0009] Further, a positioning pin is arranged inside the positioning hole. The upper end of the positioning pin passes through different positioning holes respectively when the upper die rotates horizontally to different positions, so as to fix the horizontal position of the upper die.
[0010] Further, the pressing plate is arranged at the bottom of the part limiting groove and is parallel to the bottom of the part limiting groove. There is a spacing between the outer end of the pressing plate and the inner side wall of the part limiting groove in the horizontal direction.
[0011] Further, the central position of the pressing plate is directly above the central position of the part limiting groove, and the fixing screw vertically passes through the central position of the pressing plate, the central position of the part limiting groove and the central position of the die limiting groove.
[0012] A usage method of a wire cutting fixture applicable to thin-walled sheet metal parts with notches includes the following steps:
[0013] S1. Fit the upper die and the lower die together.
[0014] S2. Use the limit screws to connect the two pressing blocks to the lower die, and then tighten them to ensure that the upper die can rotate.
[0015] S3. Fit the main body of the part against the bottom of the part limit groove of the upper die without clearance.
[0016] S4. Use the fixing screws to press and fit the pressing plate, the main body of the part, the upper die and the lower die together, and match and connect the bottom of the fixing screws with the fixing nuts inside the limit cavity.
[0017] S5. Align and clamp the assembled wire cutting fixture on the wire cutting machine tool.
[0018] S6. Wire cut the end face of the main body of the part along the end face line of the upper die.
[0019] S7. Insert the positioning pin into the indexing hole and the positioning hole of the lower die, cut the notch, and cut in sequence.
[0020] S8. After the processing is completed, clean and disassemble the parts, and wait for the next round of processing.
[0021] Further, in step S6, the left end face of the upper die is aligned with the end face line of the main body of the part for wire cutting the final dimension.
[0022] Further, in step S7, the cutting of the main body of the part is carried out by the slow wire cutting method.
[0023] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can also bring the following beneficial effects:
[0024] The present invention provides a carrier for processing the main body of the part through the connection of the upper die and the lower die, connects the upper die and the lower die through the pressing block, and can also ensure the rotation of the upper die. The main body of the part is fixed by the pressing plate, and the horizontal position of the main body of the part can be adjusted through the indexing hole and the positioning hole, so as to process the notches at different positions and ensure the uniform angular distribution of the notches. It is not only convenient for processing, and the cutting line will not affect the secondary processing, but also has high processing accuracy. After processing, it can avoid generating a relatively thick remelting layer, and the overall dimension will not exceed 0.1 mm within the qualified range. Moreover, other annular parts with angularly distributed grooves, holes, notches, etc. can also be used after modifying the clamping method. Description of the Drawings
