Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a machining method for the head casing of an aero-engine and a floating counter-clamping fixture, belonging to the field of aero-engine casing machining technology. Background Technology
[0002] As the core load-bearing component of the transmission system, the nose cone of an aero-engine serves to support internal rotating parts such as gears and bearings, and withstand complex alternating loads from the rotor system and tail rotor assembly. These parts are typically manufactured using lightweight materials such as magnesium alloys, and are characterized by thin walls and high-precision spatial hole structures. Their machining quality directly affects the transmission accuracy and operational reliability of the engine.
[0003] Existing processing technologies typically employ a multi-step, step-by-step processing strategy:
[0004] Rough machining stage: The end face and the mounting hole of the main gear shaft are rough machined by milling.
[0005] Semi-finishing stage: Semi-finish milling of the mounting hole for the main gear shaft;
[0006] Precision machining stage: Carbide cutting tools are used to precision machine the positioning end face and mounting holes of the main gear shaft;
[0007] Auxiliary hole system machining: Using the main gear shaft hole as the positioning reference, the positioning end face and mounting hole of the auxiliary gear shaft are machined by a special fixed angle fixture.
[0008] The above process route has the following technical defects:
[0009] 1. Insufficient adaptability to material processing:
[0010] Magnesium alloys have high thermal conductivity and low melting point. Traditional multi-edged carbide tools are prone to local overheating due to concentrated cutting heat during the cutting process, which can lead to material oxidation or even combustion, severely restricting the surface quality of the machined parts and the tool's service life.
[0011] 2. Low positioning accuracy of spatial hole system:
[0012] Existing fixed-angle fixtures use a rigid positioning method, which makes it difficult to compensate for the cumulative errors in the spatial angle and intersection points of the main and auxiliary gear shaft mounting hole axes, resulting in a large deviation rate in the positional accuracy of the hole system.
[0013] 3. Deformation control is difficult for thin-walled structures:
[0014] The positioning reference conversion error caused by multiple clamping and the cutting force of the carbide tool work together to induce plastic deformation in the thin-walled area, resulting in a high product qualification rate. Summary of the Invention

[0042] 1. This invention avoids resource waste caused by processing defective blanks throughout the entire process by adding fluorescence inspection and chromic acid test after rough machining, and checking for blank defects and adding surface protection treatment before fine machining.
[0043] 2. This invention uses a face milling cutter with only a single diamond insert to mill the positioning end face of the main and auxiliary gear shaft holes of the head casing. This avoids the deformation of the parts caused by excessive cutting force, and improves the machining accuracy of the positioning end face due to the ultra-long machining life of the diamond cutter.
[0044] 3. The present invention adopts a multi-point support and counter-pressing method, which allows the main and auxiliary gear mounting holes to be processed in the same process, improving the spatial position accuracy of the straight lines of the mounting holes of each shaft; at the same time, the support and pressing structure of the balance arm, with four-point support and pressing, makes the support force more uniform and reduces the risk of deformation of the parts under pressure.
[0045] 4. This invention uses a flexible production line coordinate measuring machine to correct the processing path based on actual contour data, thus solving the problem of cumulative error caused by traditional tooling relying on theoretical models. Attached Figure Description

The lower end of the compression spring II (15) abuts against the middle boss of the support shaft (18), and the upper end of the compression spring II (15) abuts against the guide sleeve II (16). S7 includes the following steps: S701: Before machining, align the small end main gear shaft hole (26) to determine the center, and align the head housing main positioning hole (11) to determine the angle. S702: Using a flexible production line coordinate measuring machine with the small end main gear shaft hole (26) as the reference, measure whether the deviation value of the AZ axis (31) meets the requirements of intersecting with the FY axis (32) at point P1 and the intersection angle error ±1°; S703: Correct the entry position and direction of the first auxiliary gear shaft hole (28) based on the actual measured deviation value; S704: Use a diamond boring tool to precision bore the large end main gear shaft hole (25) and the main gear shaft inner hole (33) to determine the main gear shaft mounting hole axis, namely: FY axis (32). S705: Move the head housing with the large end facing up into the fixture, so that the positioning surface of the small end main gear shaft hole (26) contacts the upper end of the top pin (20) on the support rod (19) and the upper end of the support shaft (18). S706: Adjust the angle of the large end of the head casing so that the two main positioning holes (11) at the large end of the head casing are aligned with the corresponding positioning holes of the positioning plate (2), and then insert the corresponding large end positioning pin (5) and angle pin (6). S707: Adjust the clamping screw two (17) to clamp the top rod two (22). Through the wedge block at the inner end of the top rod two (22) and the support shaft (18), the lateral displacement of the top rod two (22) is converted into the longitudinal displacement of the support shaft (18), so that the support shaft (18) fits against the small end positioning surface of the head casing. S708: Adjust the clamping screw (10) to clamp the top rod (13). Through the wedge block at the inner end of the top rod (13) and the top shaft (24), the lateral displacement of the top rod (13) is converted into the longitudinal displacement of the top shaft (24), so that the top pin (20) fits against the small end positioning surface of the head casing. S709: Alternately adjust the three clamping bolts to achieve four-point support for the small end face of the head casing until the large end positioning surface of the head casing is tightly fitted with the positioning end face of the positioning plate (2); S8: Use a single-edged diamond face milling cutter to super-precision mill the positioning end face of the second auxiliary gear shaft hole (27) of the head housing and the small end main gear shaft hole (26), and use a diamond boring cutter to precision bore the second auxiliary gear shaft hole (27).
2. The method for processing the nose casing of an aero-engine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The positioning plate (2) has a circular hole at its center and a semi-open window with a trapezoidal cross-section on one side. The circular hole has two main positioning holes and two auxiliary positioning holes along its circumference. Both ends of the positioning plate (2) are provided with countersunk holes, pin holes and threaded holes.
3. The method for processing the nose casing of an aero-engine according to claim 2, characterized in that: A lifting ring (4) is installed on the upper end of the positioning plate (2).
