Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machining, and particularly relates to a machining method for a power turbine stationary blade by using six-point positioning on a numerically controlled milling machine. Background Art

[0002] Since the power turbine stationary blade is precision cast, with three precision casting points on the bottom surface, one point at the blade top, and two points in the air passage, six points are used to position the blade for machining the height difference and arc process on the outlet side. The position relative to the air passage and subsequent machining are all based on this positioning, and the machining accuracy has a certain impact on subsequent positioning and machining. Therefore, after machining, it is necessary to ensure the technical requirements, ensure the accuracy of the height difference and arc, so as to ensure the consistency of the machined air passage, improve efficiency, and reduce costs, etc.

[0003] For six-point positioning, the three points on the bottom surface are for positioning and also support points, with poor strength and stability. Vibration occurs during machining, and the flatness and parallelism of the two machined planes are unstable, resulting in low efficiency; the requirement is <0.10; there is one point for positioning under the blade top, with factors such as weakness and instability; moreover, it is difficult to machine thin parts with various tooth profiles. Therefore, when machining the power turbine stationary blade with six-point positioning, it is necessary to prevent pressing deformation, the clamping force is not very large, and the outer arc machining is prone to looseness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention: The present invention is to solve the problems that when machining the power turbine stationary blade with six-point positioning, it is necessary to prevent pressing deformation, the clamping force is not very large, and the outer arc machining is prone to looseness. The present invention provides a machining method for a power turbine stationary blade by using six-point positioning on a numerically controlled milling machine.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved as follows: A machining method for a power turbine stationary blade by using six-point positioning on a numerically controlled milling machine, characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Install the fixture on the numerically controlled milling machine while ensuring its levelness and height.

[0007] Step 2: Detect the heights of the three positioning points on the fixture, and ensure that the heights of the two left positioning points are the same and higher than the right positioning point.

[0008] Step 3: Place the blade blank on the measuring platform, mark two points respectively at the top of the blade root ring and the top of the blade crown ring on the end face of the blade blank to be machined, measure the height positions of the four points to determine the height difference of the four points, and determine the machining allowance at the positions of the four points by referring to the blade drawing.

[0009] Step 4: Measure the size of the allowance of the outlet side arc.

[0010] Step 5: Move the blade blank to the fixture and clamp it. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gaps between the blade blank and the three positioning points, between the highest point of the back arc of the blade blank and the cylindrical positioning pin, and between the blade root ring of the blade blank and the conical surface positioning, ensuring that a 0.03 mm feeler gauge cannot be inserted.

[0011] Step 6: Align the height difference based on the four points marked in Step 3, and insert a heightening auxiliary part at the bottom gap of the blade blank.

[0012] Step 7: During machining, based on the highest measured point of the blank, align the origin of the tool cutting, and then machine the other three points according to the height difference until the required dimensions and height difference are achieved, ensuring the parallelism requirement.

[0013] Step 8: Machine a conforming arc according to the size of the remaining arc of the measured blade blank, ensuring that the arc of the machined blade blank fits the measuring tool.

[0014] Further, in Step 2, a height gauge is used to measure the heights of the three positioning points.

[0015] Still further, in Step 3, a height gauge is used to measure the height positions of the four points.

[0016] Further, the heightening auxiliary part in Step 6 is made of iron sheet.

[0017] Still further, the bottom gap of the blade blank in Step 6 is located below the right positioning point.

[0018] Further, when aligning the height difference in Step 6, it is carried out by reading the dial indicator on the CNC milling machine.

[0019] Still further, when aligning the height difference in Step 6, it is carried out by reading the CNC Z-axis coordinate on the CNC milling machine.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] This method is a method for a CNC milling machine for machining the outlet side machining plane and outer arc processes of the static blades of a power turbine using six-point positioning, reducing multiple clamping and ensuring quality and improving processing efficiency.

[0022] The innovation of this method is applicable to the static blades of precision casting of power turbines. It mainly finds four points on the surface of the blank by measuring with measuring tools to find the height difference of the arc allowance, and on the CNC machine, uses a dial indicator to align the accurate position with the measuring tool through the four points, adjusts the shim, avoiding non-parallelism due to the clamping force when clamping the workpiece. According to the height difference of the four points and the actual dimension value of the measuring tool, machining is carried out to ensure the height difference and arc, and the blade that meets the process dimension technical requirements can be machined in one clamping. This method has high efficiency, avoids the errors caused by multiple clamping of workpieces, saves time and effort. It is convenient and fast to operate, has strong practicability, low cost, and high efficiency.
