Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aero-engine processing, and more specifically, relates to a combined welding processing method for an aero-engine nozzle casing. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most engine nozzles utilize a dual-exhaust aerodynamic layout. After entering the exhaust system, the gas flows into an internal bifurcated flow channel, splitting into two streams before being discharged through two horizontal outlets. The nozzle sheet metal components have complex profiles, large cross-sectional variations, numerous small local features, and some asymmetric structures. The forming and fitting precision between the parts is extremely high, and the sheet metal precision must meet the argon arc welding gap requirement of less than 0.2mm. Failure to do so will not only impact production schedules, but also weld quality and flow channel dimensions, ultimately affecting overall engine performance. Conventional combined processes and parting methods struggle to guarantee machining accuracy, stability, and surface quality, posing significant challenges to the manufacturing process.
[0003] Parts of a certain aircraft engine nozzle casing such as Figure 1 As shown, it is composed of two mounting edges, a casing barrel and a nozzle flow channel welded together. The nozzle needs to guide the airflow to be discharged from two outlets on both sides of the horizontal plane. The shape is mostly a special-shaped curved surface structure. Due to the complex shape and multiple negative angles, it cannot be formed as a whole, so it is basically formed in blocks, and then combined and welded into an independent flow channel, and then welded in pairs.
[0004] Conventional process routes such as Figure 3 As shown, the nozzle flow channels are first grouped and typed, and the nozzle casing is assembled and welded after the combination welding of the nozzle flow channels is completed. Since the nozzle flow channels cannot be normally assembled into the nozzle casing after assembly, it is necessary to first assemble and weld the casing barrel in half, and finally weld the upper and lower mounting edges. Four welds will be generated on the casing barrel; at the same time, when welding the upper and lower mounting edges, the automatic argon arc welding torch will interfere due to the nozzle flow channel structure, and the argon arc welding cannot be protected, the operation is more difficult, and the weld strength will also decrease; at the same time, assembly flow channel windows are processed on both sides of the casing barrel, which will cause the rigidity of the overall part to deteriorate. When welding the upper and lower edges, the welding deformation after clamping is difficult to control, which ultimately leads to problems such as springback and fitting clearance in the forming process, resulting in the size of the part and the quality of the weld not meeting the processing requirements.
[0005] Application No. 202410352149.X discloses a method for processing the inner flow channel casing of a gas turbine. This method can enhance the rigidity of the inner flow channel casing to a certain extent, but the processing method only involves the processing method of the casing, and does not involve the combination method of the casing and the flow channel. Moreover, the casing structure of this method is quite different from the casing structure of this application, and this method cannot be used to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0038] Example 1
[0039] The nozzle casing of the aircraft engine is as follows Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes a casing barrel 1, an upper mounting edge 2 and a lower mounting edge 3 welded at both ends of the casing barrel 1, and a nozzle flow channel 4 welded to the fuselage of the casing barrel 1. The nozzle flow channel 4 is distributed on both horizontal sides of the casing barrel 1, including a left flow channel 5 and a right flow channel 6. The nozzle flow channel 4 is a curved channel structure. According to the conventional process route, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, in processes (a) and (b), the nozzle flow channel 4 is first welded, and then the casing barrel 1 is assembled and welded. Since the flow channel is large in size and is a curved surface, it cannot be directly placed in the casing barrel 1. At this time, the casing barrel 1 needs to be divided into two semicircular arcs for welding, and then assembled into a cylindrical structure after welding. In process (c), it is welded with the upper and lower mounting edges. At this time, four welds will be generated on the casing barrel 1. At the same time, assembly flow channel windows are processed on both sides of the casing barrel, which will cause the rigidity of the overall parts to deteriorate. When welding the upper and lower mounting edges, the welding deformation after clamping is difficult to control, which ultimately leads to problems such as springback and fitting clearance in the forming process, resulting in the size of the parts and the quality of the welds not meeting the processing requirements. In response to the above-mentioned process defects, this embodiment proposes a new processing method and process scheme, such as Figure 5 As shown, the process routes are af, where (a)-(b) are welding the upper and lower mounting edges on the casing barrel 1, (c) is processing a window for the nozzle flow channel to extend out of the casing barrel 1, (d) is cutting the nozzle flow channel, and (e)-(f) are combined welding of the nozzle flow channel. This method reduces the original 4 welds to 3 welds, and the complex casing combined welding gap and protection problems are optimized to simple welding of the upper and lower mounting edges and the casing barrel. The welding gap is controlled within 0.1mm, and the welding deformation and residual stress are reduced at the same time. The welding deformation of the entire part is less than 0.5mm, which is of great significance to improving the overall performance and reliability of the nozzle.
