Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clamping and positioning large thin-shell structural components, and specifically to a rapid positioning device and its method of use for milling large rotating thin-shell structural components. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-shell structures are thin-walled structures with curved surfaces. Based on the form in which the curved surface is formed, they are classified into cylindrical shells, dome-shaped thin shells, hyperbolic flat shells, and hyperbolic paraboloid shells, etc. These shells fully utilize the strength of the material while integrating load-bearing and enclosure functions. In practical engineering, the cutting and combination of spatial curved surfaces can also be used to create uniquely shaped and novel buildings that can adapt to various planar surfaces. The advantage of thin-shell structures is that they can evenly distribute the pressure on all parts of the object, reducing the stress on the structure. Many building roofs utilize the principles of thin-shell structures.

[0003] Currently, large thin-shell structural components are widely used in key industrial fields such as automobiles, ships, and aerospace, especially large rotating thin-shell structural components, which have an even wider range of applications and broader prospects. However, the irregular structure of large rotating thin-shell structural components makes the positioning operation during milling more cumbersome, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency. This is because most of these structural components are produced by assembling and welding first, followed by machining. This results in partial thermal deformation of the thin shell during the welding process, leading to thermal errors. Consequently, subsequent milling cannot use the unmachined surface as a reference; it can only use the center of the bottom rotating ring on the worktable as a reference for positioning the upper surface for machining. Traditional methods involve milling a reference surface on the side to find the upper surface machining position, which requires leaving machining allowance, increasing machining time and potentially increasing the overall weight of the structural component, exceeding design requirements. Alternatively, using scribing lines to find the upper surface machining position is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and has poor accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid positioning device and its method for milling large rotating thin-shell structural parts.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this invention is as follows: a rapid positioning device for milling large rotating thin shell structural parts, comprising: a support base, a seat ring positioning frame, 2n seat ring positioning connectors, and a positioning bracket, wherein n is a positive integer.

[0006] The support base includes a support plane and a positioning base.

[0007] A positioning base is provided at the center of the top surface of the supporting plane.

[0008] The support plane has several U-shaped notches for fixing the support base to the working platform.

[0009] The positioning base has a slot on one side for installing a positioning bracket.

[0010] The support base has a through hole I at its center, and a positioning frame groove is provided at the top of the through hole I.

[0011] The seat ring positioning bracket is adapted to the positioning bracket slot of the support base.

[0012] The seat ring positioning frame has a through hole II at its center, and a connecting plate for installing the seat ring positioning connector is provided at the bottom of the through hole II.

[0013] The through hole II of the seat ring positioning frame is adapted to the rotating seat ring of the large rotating thin shell to be processed.

[0014] The seat ring positioning connector has a through hole III parallel to the web plate on one side.

[0015] n seat ring positioning connectors are installed on the connecting plate of the seat ring positioning frame, and n seat ring positioning connectors are installed on the rotating seat ring of the large rotating thin shell to be processed. The seat ring positioning frame and the corresponding two seat ring positioning connectors on the large rotating thin shell to be processed are fixedly connected together by bolts.

[0020] Furthermore, the positioning frame groove of the support base is provided with a guide surface that matches the inclined surface of the seat ring positioning frame.

[0021] A positioning method using the above-mentioned device includes the following steps:

[0022] 1) Fix the support base on the work platform and install the positioning bracket on the support plane.

[0023] 2) Control the machine tool to obtain the coordinates of any three points at the through hole I of the support base, and denot them as A1 = (X... A1 ,Y A1 Z A ), A2=(X A2 ,Y A2 Z A ), A3 = (X A3 ,Y A3 ZA ).

[0024] 3) Fit the coordinates of the center of the circle o = (X...) using the coordinates of three points. o1 ,Y o1 Z o1 Let the height of the large rotating thin shell to be processed be Z1, and then obtain the center coordinates of the bottom surface of the large rotating thin shell to be processed, P1 = (X1, Y1, Z1), where X1 = X o1 Y1 = Y o1 .

[0025] 4) Obtain the coordinates of the apex of the positioning bracket, P2 = (X2, Y2, Z2), by moving the main spindle to drive the online probe.

[0026] 5) Use the seat ring positioning connector to fix the seat ring positioning frame and the large rotating thin shell to be processed together.

[0027] 6) Install the seat ring positioning frame and the large rotating thin shell to be processed onto the support base, and clamp the parts with the pressure plate.

[0028] 7) Based on the relative positions (X,Y,Z) of the bottom ring and the points to be machined on the top surface of the large rotating thin shell to be machined, determine the coordinates of the starting point P3 = (X3,Y3,Z3) and start the milling process.

[0029] Furthermore, the circle center coordinates o = (X) are fitted using three-point coordinates. o1 ,Y o1 Z o1 The steps are as follows:

[0030] 3.1) Set A1 = (X A1 ,Y A1 Z A ), A2=(X A2 ,Y A2 Z A ), A3 = (X A3 ,Y A3 Z A Substitute the constant value into formula (1) to obtain the constant value.

[0031] x 2 +y 2 +Dx+Ey+F=0 (1)

[0032] In the formula, D, E, and F are all constant values.

[0033] 3.2) The coordinates of the center and the radius are calculated based on the constant values, as shown below:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, o is the coordinate of the center of the circle, and r is the radius.

[0036] Furthermore, the formula for determining the machining start point coordinates P3 = (X3, Y3, Z3) based on the relative positions (X, Y, Z) of the bottom surface of the large rotating thin shell to be machined and the machining point on the upper surface is as follows:

[0037] P3=(X2-X1+X,Y2-Y1+Y,Z2-Z1+Z)=(X3,Y3,Z3) (4).

[0038] Furthermore, the method of installing the seat ring positioning frame and the large rotating thin shell to be processed onto the support base includes hoisting.

[0163] 7) The relative positions (X, Y, Z) of the bottom ring and the machining point on the top surface of the large rotating thin shell can be known from the design drawing. The coordinates of P3 can be calculated by the following formula.

[0164] P3=(X2-X1+X,Y2-Y1+Y,Z2-Z1+Z)=(X3,Y3,Z3)(4)

[0165] 8) Determine the starting point coordinates of the machining process using the P3 coordinates and begin milling.

[0166] This embodiment solves the problem of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low-precision determination of the machine tool starting point coordinates with the bottom seat ring as the reference and the machining area on the upper surface of the large thin shell by means of coordinate transformation through the support base and positioning bracket. The seat ring positioning bracket enhances the adaptability of the invention. The inclined ring in the positioning base of the seat ring positioning bracket and the support base has the ability to guide and reduce machining vibration.
