Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of breathing valve processing technology, specifically relating to an integrated tooling and process for high-precision processing and testing of breathing valve orifices. Background Technology
[0002] The structure of the breather valve is as follows Figures 1-2 As shown, it mainly consists of three parts: the upper flange 01, the middle section cylinder 02, and the bottom elliptical head flange 03. These three parts need to be processed separately before being assembled and welded together. The middle section cylinder 02 has internal functional structures, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the functional structure contains two very narrow annular surfaces: the exhalation valve port 04 and the suction valve port 05. These two annular surfaces require high-precision machining to ensure that their flatness and surface roughness meet the requirements for use in a breathing valve. Welding can cause thermal deformation; therefore, the general machining process for a breathing valve is as follows: The first step is to process and produce three parts separately: the upper flange 01, the middle section cylinder body 02 which contains internal functional structures, and the bottom elliptical head flange 03. The second step is to position, assemble, and weld the three parts together to make them a whole. The third step is to finish the breathing valve port 04 and the inhalation valve port 05 by grinding.
[0003] Currently, the first step, through mature machining processes, can be carried out relatively well, and the second step, using existing welding robots, can achieve automated welding. However, the third step has the lowest degree of automation and is the most difficult to guarantee in terms of processing quality.

The extremely high degree of automation also reduces the time for manual intervention, greatly shortens the processing cycle, and improves the processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Example 2: A high-precision machining and inspection integrated process for the breather valve port is implemented using the high-precision machining and inspection integrated tooling for the breather valve port described in Example 1, including the following steps: Step 1: After welding, place the breather valve in an upright position with the upper flange 01 facing upwards. Hoist the integrated fixture above the breather valve, allowing the spindle 13, milling cutter mechanism 14, and grinding wheel mechanism 15 to fall from top to bottom into the functional structure of the breather valve. Position the spindle 13 coaxially with the breather valve. When the fixture bracket 11 falls onto the upper flange 01, fix the fixture bracket 11 to the upper flange 01. Figures 12-14 As shown, specifically, when the first connecting ring 111 falls onto the upper flange 01, bolts are used to fix the first connecting ring 111 to the upper flange 01. Step 2: The projections of the central axis of the main spindle 13, the central axis of the exhalation valve port 04, and the central axis of the suction valve port 05 onto the same horizontal plane are the projection points of the main spindle 13, the exhalation valve port 04, and the suction valve port 05, respectively. The main spindle 13 is translated and adjusted so that the projection point of the main spindle 13 is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the projection points of the exhalation valve port 04 and the suction valve port 05. Welding errors cause the central axes of the exhalation valve port 04 and the suction valve port 05 to be not completely collinear, but to have a certain coaxiality error. Adjusting the main spindle 13 so that its central axis is located between the central axes of the exhalation valve port 04 and the suction valve port 05 can ensure that the coaxiality of the main spindle 13 and the exhalation valve port 04, and the coaxiality of the main spindle 13 and the suction valve port 05 are both within the error range. Specifically, step 2 includes the following sub-steps: Step 21: The rotary drive motor 122 is started, causing the central support 12 to drive the spindle 13, milling cutter mechanism 14, and grinding wheel mechanism 15 to rotate one revolution around the central axis of the spindle 13. During this process, the two laser rangefinders 132 are working. The upper laser rangefinder 132 detects the distance between the central axis of the main shaft 13 and the inner side of the exhalation valve port 04, obtains the inner contour line of the exhalation valve port 04 on the test plane of the upper laser rangefinder 132, obtains the fitting center of the inner contour line of the exhalation valve port 04, and takes the vertical line passing through the fitting center of the inner contour line of the exhalation valve port 04 as the central axis of the exhalation valve port 04. The acquisition of the fitting center of the inner contour line of the exhalation valve port 04 can be achieved using existing technology, and will not be elaborated here. The lower laser rangefinder 132 detects the distance between the central axis of the main shaft 13 and the inner side of the suction valve port 05, and obtains the inner contour line of the suction valve port 05 on the test plane of the lower laser rangefinder 132, thus obtaining the fitting center of the inner contour line of the suction valve port 05. The vertical line passing through the fitting center of the inner contour line of the suction valve port 05 is taken as the central axis of the suction valve port 05. The acquisition of the fitting center of the inner contour line of the suction valve port 05 can be achieved using existing technology, and will not be elaborated here. Step 22: Rotate the first fine-tuning motor 117 to drive the first lead screw 116 to rotate, causing the first slider 115 to move the second connecting ring 112, the third connecting ring 113 and the central support 12 along the first horizontal line. The second fine-tuning motor 1111 drives the second lead screw 1110 to rotate, causing the second slider 119 to move the third connecting ring 113 and the central support 12 along the second horizontal line, thereby realizing the translation adjustment of the main shaft 13. After the adjustment is completed, the projection point of the main shaft 13 is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the projection point of the exhalation valve port 04 and the projection point of the suction valve port 05. The specific translation strategy is as follows: Determine a horizontal plane, determine the projection point coordinates of the central axis of the exhalation valve port 04 and the central axis of the suction valve port 05 on the horizontal plane, then obtain the coordinates of the midpoint of the line connecting the two projection points, take the coordinates of the midpoint as the endpoint coordinates, obtain the projection point coordinates of the central axis of the main shaft 13 on the horizontal plane before the translation of the main shaft 13, take them as the initial coordinates, and translate the main shaft 13 from the initial coordinate position to the endpoint coordinate position. Step 3: The upper call valve port 04 is milled using the milling cutter mechanism 14. Specifically, the milling cutter traverse motor 148 drives the first transverse lead screw 146 to rotate, causing the milling cutter feed bracket 142 to move the milling cutter assembly 141 laterally, so that the central axis of the milling cutter body in the milling cutter assembly 141 passes downward through the end face of the call valve port 04. The milling cutter feed motor 145 drives the first vertical lead screw 144 to rotate, causing the milling cutter slider 143 to move the milling cutter assembly 141 vertically, so that the milling cutter body in the milling cutter assembly 141 contacts the end face of the call valve port 04. The milling cutter motor drives the milling cutter body to rotate, and at the same time, the rotation drive motor 122 starts, and the central bracket 12 keeps rotating, completing the milling of the call valve port 04. After that, the milling cutter assembly 141 is reset. Step 4: Simultaneously perform grinding of the upper exhalation valve port 04 and milling of the lower suction valve port 05, specifically as follows: The grinding wheel transverse motor 158 drives the second transverse lead screw 156 to rotate, causing the grinding wheel feed bracket 152 to drive the grinding wheel assembly 151 to move laterally, so that the central axis of the grinding wheel body in the grinding wheel assembly 151 passes downward through the end face of the exhalation valve port 04. The grinding wheel feed motor 155 drives the second vertical lead screw 154 to rotate, causing the grinding wheel slider 153 to drive the grinding wheel assembly 151 to move vertically, so that the grinding wheel body in the grinding wheel assembly 151 contacts the end face of the exhalation valve port 04. The milling cutter traverse motor 148 drives the first transverse lead screw 146 to rotate, causing the milling cutter feed support 142 to move the milling cutter assembly 141 laterally, so that the central axis of the milling cutter body in the milling cutter assembly 141 passes downward through the end face of the suction valve port 05. The milling cutter feed motor 145 drives the first vertical lead screw 144 to rotate, causing the milling cutter slider 143 to move the milling cutter assembly 141 vertically, so that the milling cutter body in the milling cutter assembly 141 contacts the end face of the suction valve port 05. The grinding wheel motor drives the grinding wheel body to rotate, and the milling cutter motor drives the milling cutter body to rotate. The rotation drive motor 122 starts, and the central support 12 keeps rotating. The grinding of the upper exhalation valve port 04 and the milling of the lower suction valve port 05 are performed synchronously. After the processing is completed, the milling cutter assembly 141 and the grinding wheel assembly 151 are reset. Step 5: Grinding is performed using the lower suction valve port 05 of the grinding wheel mechanism 15, specifically as follows: The grinding wheel transverse motor 158 drives the second transverse lead screw 156 to rotate, causing the grinding wheel feed bracket 152 to drive the grinding wheel assembly 151 to move laterally, so that the central axis of the grinding wheel body in the grinding wheel assembly 151 passes downward through the end face of the suction valve port 05. The grinding wheel feed motor 155 drives the second vertical lead screw 154 to rotate, causing the grinding wheel slider 153 to drive the grinding wheel assembly 151 to move vertically, so that the grinding wheel body in the grinding wheel assembly 151 contacts the end face of the suction valve port 05. The grinding wheel motor drives the grinding wheel body to rotate, and at the same time the rotation drive motor 122 starts, and the central bracket 12 keeps rotating, completing the grinding process on the suction valve port 05. After that, the grinding wheel assembly 151 is reset. Step 7: Start the two surface roughness testers 131 to test the surface roughness of the exhalation valve port 04 and the suction valve port 05. If the roughness does not meet the requirements, the valve ports that do not meet the requirements shall be re-milled and ground.
[0045] This application, when assembled with the breathing valve, can complete the milling and grinding of the exhalation valve port 04 and the inhalation valve port 05 in one go, avoiding the possibility of losing the reference due to repeated clamping and ensuring the processing quality.
[0046] In this application, when the tooling bracket 11 is assembled with the breather valve, the concentricity adjustment between the spindle 13 and the corresponding valve port is achieved by combining the first fine-tuning mechanism and the second fine-tuning mechanism with laser ranging. After processing, the surface roughness tester 131 detects the roughness of the corresponding valve port surface. If it does not meet the standard, it can be processed again without re-clamping until the quality of the processed surface meets the standard. The extremely high degree of automation also reduces the time for manual intervention, greatly shortens the processing cycle, and improves processing efficiency.

Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
