8. The CNC machining center according to claim 7, characterized in that: The rotating assembly (7) includes a rotating motor (701) installed inside the sliding platform. The rotating motor extends axially through the sliding platform panel. A rotating disk (702) is provided at the end of the rotating motor shaft. The rotating disk is fixedly assembled with the bottom of the positioning groove (801). A position sensor (703) is provided around the rotating disk.
9. The CNC machining center according to claim 4, characterized in that: The cooling system (4) includes a nitrogen tank (401), an inlet pipe (404) and an outlet pipe (402) arranged in parallel on the top of the nitrogen tank, a flow rate control valve (403) on the outlet pipe, a buffer box (405) at the end of the outlet pipe, and a number of cooling holes (451) arranged in an array on the side of the buffer box facing the dual processing station, and a nozzle (406) that rotates automatically along the hole axis at each cooling hole.
10. A method for machining aerospace parts in a CNC machining center as described in claim 6, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: Step 1: Positioning and installation of the initial workpiece mold: Move the sliding platform to the feeding position, pre-process the initial workpiece mold into a rectangular block that matches the positioning groove, and position the positioning rod in conjunction with the fixing hole shaft hole; Step 2: Start the cooling system: Open the flow rate control valve, and after the liquid nitrogen is vaporized, it flows into the buffer tank along the outlet pipe. After the buffer tank is full, it is continuously sprayed out through all nozzles. Step 3: Start the vacuum cleaning assembly: Open the flow rate control valve and start the vacuum pump at the same time to create a negative pressure space in the collection box; Step 4: Tool switching: Start the switching motor to drive the rotating plate to rotate, which in turn drives the first and second tool heads to rotate. Rotate the selected first tool head to the side closer to the sliding platform. Then start the first cylinder to drive the first tool head to move downward and extend it out of the tool box. Step 5: Tool head positioning: Start the sliding cylinder to drive the tool box to slide along the support beam and align it with the machining station laterally. Then start the lifting cylinder to drive the tool box to move downward and contact the surface of the workpiece. Step Six: Cutting Process: According to the program settings, the first cutting head rotates at high speed to start cutting, the horizontal slide rail slides to achieve transverse tool movement, and the sliding platform slides along the axial sliding member to achieve longitudinal tool movement; The position sensor continuously senses the position of the workpiece and controls the rotary motor to drive the rotary disk to rotate, causing the workpiece to rotate circumferentially for cutting. Step 7: Tool retraction and replacement: Stop the rotation of the first tool head and raise it. Start the switching motor again to drive the rotating plate to rotate, which will drive the second tool head to rotate to the side close to the sliding platform. Then start the second cylinder to drive the second tool head to move downward and extend out of the tool box. Step 8: Tool Change Machining: According to the program settings, the second tool head rotates at high speed to start cutting, the horizontal slide rail slides to achieve transverse tool movement, and the sliding platform slides along the axial sliding member to achieve longitudinal tool movement; The position sensor continuously senses the position of the workpiece and controls the rotary motor to drive the turntable to rotate, causing the workpiece to rotate circumferentially for cutting until it is fully formed, and finally the connecting rib is cut off. Step 9: Complete machining: Raise the second cutter head, return the tool box to its initial position, move the sliding platform to its initial position, and unload the workpiece.
