DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present application provides a technical solution: I. Background of the embodiments In the field of military equipment, the polyhedral infrared guidance shell is a key guidance component with large market demand and high manufacturing precision. The traditional processing method relies on high-precision five-axis equipment to realize multi-angle processing, which has the problems of small number of parts clamped at a time, long processing time, high cost of equipment purchase and maintenance (the cost of a single equipment is about 8-12 million yuan), etc., which seriously consumes the economic benefits of enterprises. Based on the angle characteristics of the polyhedral structure, a special tooling is designed to realize multi-angle processing of ordinary machining centers (cost about 200-300 million yuan), which reduces the cost while improving the production efficiency.
[0016] II. Specific structure implementation (1) Core component composition and parameters Polyhedral guidance shell 1: made of TC4 titanium alloy material, the shape is a regular dodecahedron structure, the edge length is 50 mm, a reference hole 8 with a diameter of 10 mm is provided at the top center as a processing reference positioning reference; four vacuum chucks 5 with a diameter of 30 mm are fixed at the bottom corners through bolts, the suction force of the vacuum chuck is ≥50N, which is used for stable positioning when there is no disc support.
[0017] Tooling 2: a total of 4 pieces, made of 45 steel quenching and tempering treatment (hardness 28-32HRC), each tooling is a cuboid structure (100mm×80mm×50mm), four installation holes 18 with a diameter of 12mm are uniformly provided on the outer edge, which are used for connecting with the machining center workbench or other auxiliary clamps; the inner side of the tooling in contact with the polyhedral guidance shell is polished to Ra 0.8μm to avoid scratching the shell surface.
[0018] Elastic L-shaped plate 16: four pieces are configured for each tooling, made of 65Mn spring steel (thickness 3mm), the lengths of the straight edges of the L-shaped right angle are 60mm and 40mm respectively, a connecting groove 20 with a length of 20mm and a width of 13mm is provided on the plate; one end of the elastic L-shaped plate is welded and fixed on the outer edge of the polyhedral guidance shell, and the other end realizes clamping of the tooling through the threaded rod 19 and the nut 17.
[0019] Angle adjusting mechanism: including disc 7, support column 6, sliding block 12, plug rod 14 and other components. The disc 7 is made of 45 steel material, with a diameter of 200mm, a ring groove 10 with a width of 15mm and a depth of 10mm is provided on the outer edge of the top, and a support column 6 with a diameter of 50mm and a height of 300mm is welded on the bottom of the disc, which is fixed on the machining center workbench through the flange plate. Four sliding blocks 12 are welded on the bottom of the polyhedral guidance shell, which are gap-fitted with the ring groove (gap 0.05-0.1mm) to ensure smooth rotation.
[0020] Positioning and locking assembly: 36 through holes 9 with a diameter of 8 mm are evenly opened in the inner cavity of the disc (the central angle of adjacent through holes is 10°), and 12 corresponding jacks 11 with a diameter of 8 mm are opened at the bottom of the polyhedron guide shell; the insertion rod 14 has a diameter of 7.8 mm and a length of 100 mm, and a 2mm×45° chamfer on the top for easy insertion; the connecting disk 13, the cross plate 4, and the pedal 3 adopt an integrated welded structure, and the spring 15 is a compression spring (diameter 12 mm, free length 50 mm, stiffness coefficient 5 N / mm) to ensure reliable reset of the insertion rod.
[0021] (2) Assembly relationship The elastic L-shaped plate 16 is inserted into the threaded rod 19 through the connecting groove 20. One end of the threaded rod is welded to the outside of the polyhedron guide shell, and the other end is tightened by the nut 17, so that the inner side of the elastic L-shaped plate is tightly fitted to the outer side of the tooling 2. The tooling and the shell are fixed by the elastic preload force. The preload torque of a single nut is controlled at 15-20N·m.
[0022] The slider 12 at the bottom of the polyhedron guide shell is embedded in the annular groove 10 of the disc 7, realizing 360° rotation of the shell around the support column 6; the insertion rod 14 passes through the disc through hole 9 and is inserted into the shell hole 11, and is kept locked by the pre-tightening force of the spring 15 to ensure that there is no angle deviation during processing.
[0023] The reference hole 8 cooperates with the locating pin of the machining center spindle (the matching clearance is 0.01-0.02mm) and is used for aligning the reference surface of the tooling. The alignment accuracy is controlled within 0.01mm / m.
[0024] 3. Implementation of Operational Procedures (1) Clamping preparation stage Fix the support column 6 on the workbench of an ordinary machining center through a flange, ensuring that the verticality of the support column is ≤0.02mm / m.
[0025] Check that there are no impurities in the annular groove 10 of the disc 7 and apply a small amount of grease (model L-TSAN46) to reduce the friction of the slider rotation.
[0026] Align the bottom slider 12 of the polyhedron guide housing with the annular groove 10 and put it in. At this time, the suction cup 5 is temporarily not working (no vacuum source is connected).
[0027] (2) Tool positioning and clamping Four pieces of tooling 2 are evenly placed on the outer edge of the polyhedron guide shell so that the inner sides of the tooling fit in with the outer surface of the shell.
[0028] Adjust the position of the elastic L-shaped plate 16 to ensure that the connecting groove 20 is completely inserted into the threaded rod 19, and use a torque wrench to tighten the nut 17 to 18N·m. At this time, the elastic L-shaped plate will produce elastic deformation, forming a stable clamping force on the tooling.
[0029] Insert the machining center spindle positioning pin into the reference hole 8, align the tool reference surface with the dial indicator, and record the reference coordinates after alignment as the subsequent machining program reference.
[0030] (Three) Multi-angle machining adjustment Initial machining angle adjustment: loosen the pedal 3, the spring 15 resets the insertion rod 14 through the disc hole 9 and inserts into the shell insertion hole 11, realizing the initial angle locking (such as 0° position).
[0031] Angle switching operation: when the machining angle needs to be switched (such as rotating 30°), press down the pedal 3, the pedal drives the horizontal plate 4 and the connecting disc 13 to move down, the spring 15 is stretched, and the insertion rod 14 is withdrawn from the insertion hole 11 and the hole 9; manually rotate the polyhedral guide shell, observe the rotation angle through the disc edge scale (every 10° mark), and release the pedal after reaching the position, the insertion rod is automatically inserted into the corresponding hole and insertion hole under the action of the spring, completing the angle locking.
[0032] No disc machining mode: if small angle features do not need to be rotated, remove the shell from the disc, connect the vacuum source to make the suction cup 5 adsorb on the machining center workbench, and directly process after alignment through the reference hole 8. The vacuum degree of the suction cup is kept above-0.08MPa.
[0033] (Four) Error-proof function implementation The fitting surface of the tool 2 and the polyhedral guide shell is designed with a "one face two pin" positioning structure: two 8mm diameter positioning pins are arranged on the inside of the tool, and two 8.1mm diameter positioning holes are opened in the corresponding position of the shell, and the positional error of the positioning pin and the positioning hole is ≤0.02mm. When the part is installed in reverse or the position is wrong, the positioning pin cannot be inserted into the positioning hole, and the elastic L-shaped plate cannot be attached to the tool, realizing physical error-proofing and avoiding part scrap caused by wrong processing.
[0034] Four, effect verification Cost reduction: after using this tool, the machining equipment is changed from high-precision five-axis equipment to ordinary machining center, and the cost of single set of equipment is reduced by about 75% (from 10 million yuan to 2.5 million yuan), which meets the production demand of 5000 shell bodies per year.
[0035] Efficiency improvement: single clamping can complete multi-angle machining of 4 tools, and the clamping time is shortened from 15 minutes / piece of traditional single clamping to 8 minutes / 4 pieces, and the machining efficiency is improved by about 6 times.
[0036] Precision guarantee: through the reference hole positioning and angle locking mechanism, the machining size precision is controlled within ±0.02mm, and the geometric tolerance is ≤0.015mm, which meets the precision requirements of military equipment.
[0037] Convenient operation: angle adjustment is realized by pedal to quickly lock and unlock, and single person can complete the operation, reducing labor cost.
[0038] V. Summary of advantages of the embodiment The embodiment realizes efficient machining of polyhedral infrared guide shell on ordinary machining center through elastic clamping structure, multi-angle adjusting mechanism and error-proof design, solves the problems of high cost and low efficiency of traditional five-axis equipment, has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, low cost and reliable precision, and can be widely applied to batch production of polyhedral structure parts in military equipment field.
