Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding of aero-engine parts, and particularly to an energy storage spot welding method for a stepped honeycomb with an occlusion structure at the welding part. Background Art

[0002] Honeycomb structure parts are common parts in aero-engines, which play a role in gas sealing. They are generally welded to the inner or outer ring of the casing by vacuum brazing. The welding process mainly includes positioning welding, coating, vacuum brazing, etc.

[0003] Positioning welding is an important preparatory process before vacuum brazing. Usually, energy storage spot welding is used to form solder joints between the welding surfaces of the honeycomb part and the shell part, which plays a role in ensuring the welding dimensions of the parts. The strength of the solder joints has a great impact on the final brazing quality of the parts.

[0004] The common honeycomb welding structure is a regular circular honeycomb welded on a cylindrical surface. However, with the gradual improvement of engine performance requirements and the continuous optimization of the structure, some more complex special-shaped honeycomb welded parts have gradually emerged. Conventional spot welding positioning methods are difficult to meet the welding requirements. In actual processing, the strength of the positioning solder joints is insufficient, and the position and dimensional relationship between the honeycomb and the shell part cannot be stably maintained, resulting in unqualified parts after brazing. There is an urgent need to improve the strength of the solder joints and the welding quality of the parts. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to achieve reliable positioning of the stepped honeycomb on the stepped surface of the shell part, with firm solder joints, and to meet the requirements of honeycomb furnace brazing. An energy storage spot welding method for a stepped honeycomb with an occlusion structure at the welding part is provided.

[0006] An energy storage spot welding method for a stepped honeycomb with an occlusion structure at the welding part, the technical solution thereof includes:

[0007] Step 1: Divide the solder joint area on the surface of the honeycomb to be spot welded. Along the width L direction of the honeycomb, from the thick step end to the other end, divide it into sections with a width of 5 mm or 6 mm each, and divide a1, a2... a c A total of c a-zone spot welding areas, and the remaining area with a width less than 5 mm at the thin step end is defined as the b-zone, and the width needs to satisfy b≥3 mm or b = 0, where L is the total width of the honeycomb. As shown in the appendix Figure 1 shown.

[0008] Step 2: Design the positive electrode of the electrode according to the size of the assembly part of the honeycomb, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 shown, and the position of the spot welding area divided in Step 1. The number of electrodes is c + 1, and the shape is "L" shaped. It is formed by bending and machining a copper bar, and corresponds to each spot welding area respectively. The characteristic dimensions of the electrode are as shown in the appendixFigure 2 As shown in the figure, select according to the following principles:

[0009] ① d = (8 - 12) mm;

[0010] ② h = (240 - 280) mm;

[0011] ③ g = (1.3 - 1.5)p + u, where p is the distance between the inner surface of the honeycomb and the blocked part, and u is the thickness of the blocked part;

[0012] ④ The spot - welding area b corresponds to the electrode q b = (r + 2) mm; The spot - welding a n area corresponds to the electrode r is the distance between the end face of the honeycomb and the end face of the blocked part;

[0016] ⑧ j = (0.6 - 0.7)d.

[0017] Step 3: Design the negative electrode seat according to the outer surface dimensions of the housing part. The electrode seat is made of copper material and is generally in the shape of a "convex". As shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the middle convex point faces the contact point between the positive electrode and the honeycomb. As shown in the appendix Figure 5 so that the current flows out concentratedly along the shortest path. Support blocks for support are arranged on both sides of the convex point. The support blocks are made of resin material with holes in the middle and are connected to the electrode seat by screws. The dimensions of each part of the electrode seat are determined according to the following principles:

[0018] ① R1 = 0.5D K , D K is the diameter of the housing surface closest to the honeycomb in the diameter direction;

[0019] ② R2 = (R1 + 10) mm;

[0020] ③ E = max(1.7H, 40 mm), where H is the distance between the surface with the maximum diameter of the housing and the surface with diameter D K surface distance;

[0021] ④ B = (0.2 - 0.25)E;

[0022] ⑤Q = (0.6 - 0.7)R1

[0023] ⑥W = (0.6 - 0.8)T, where T is the width of the shell surface closest to the honeycomb in the diameter direction;

[0024] ⑦Z = (15 - 25)mm;

[0025] ⑧S = (0.8 - 0.9)Z;

[0026] ⑨Y = (3 - 5)W;

[0027] ⑩X = (1.2 - 1.5)Q.

[0028] Step Four: Determine the number of solder joints N in each solder joint area according to the formula N = [πD F / (1.2d)], where D F is the inner surface diameter of the honeycomb and d is the electrode diameter. One circle of N solder joints is evenly distributed along the circumferential direction in each solder joint area.

[0029] Step Five: Clean the part surface and assemble the honeycomb onto the shell part.

[0030] Step Six: Adjust the spot welding voltage within the range of 200V - 260V and conduct a trial weld on the surface. Obvious sparks should appear at the weld seam during spot welding.

[0031] Step Seven: According to the solder joint areas divided in Step One and the number of solder joints determined in Step Four, sequentially replace the corresponding positive electrodes in the order from area b to area a to complete energy storage spot welding.

[0032] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
