Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of parts cutting technology, and in particular to a CNC cutting device and method for aerospace parts. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of CNC machining of aerospace components, irregularly shaped groove structures such as engine casing inner cavity grooves, hydraulic valve body flow channel grooves, and landing gear joint internal grooves are widely used. These grooves are mostly located in closed or semi-closed spaces with complex groove contours. The machining process requires multiple steps, including roughing, finishing, and chamfering, and requires changing various types of cutting tools. Currently, the industry mostly adopts a machining solution for machining internal irregularly shaped grooves using a multi-axis cutting arm with a cutting spindle. The tool magazine is independently set in a fixed position within the working range of the cutting arm. After completing a single operation, the cutting arm drives the end spindle to exit the internal cavity of the workpiece, moves to the external tool magazine to complete the tool loading and unloading action, and then returns to the machining station. After repositioning and calibration, the next operation is carried out. Some improved solutions attach a small tool holder to the outside of the cutting arm to shorten the travel distance during tool changing. However, the tool changing process still requires the spindle to complete tool alignment and loading / unloading outside the arm.
[0003] However, in the aforementioned prior art, machining a single irregular groove requires multiple tool changes, and the cutting arm needs to be repeatedly moved out, reset, and re-calibrated. The tool change auxiliary time accounts for a high proportion of the total machining time, making it difficult to improve the overall machining efficiency. At the same time, the cutting arm needs to be repositioned and calibrated each time it returns to the machining station. Multiple tool changes can easily lead to cumulative positioning errors, making it difficult to reliably guarantee the high-precision machining requirements of aerospace parts. Furthermore, in the narrow and enclosed cavity space, the repeated entry and exit of the cutting arm can easily cause motion interference with the inner wall of the workpiece, posing a risk of scratching the workpiece and breaking the tool, resulting in insufficient stability of machining operation.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 10This invention provides a CNC cutting device for aerospace parts, including a cutting adjustment table and a CNC cutting assembly.

[0039] In this embodiment, the upper arm 14 is a fixed arm segment, rigidly connected to the support plate 10, providing installation space for the upper structure of the internal lifting unit and the material changing channel; the lower arm 15 is a movable arm segment, which can adjust the extension length according to the cavity depth of the aerospace component 4 to adapt to the machining of irregular grooves of different depths, and at the same time provides guidance for the descent stroke of the lifting slider 2 to ensure the verticality and stability of the tool feed.
[0040] Furthermore, the internal lifting unit includes an internal winding component 16, an internal winding rope 17, two limiting blocks 18, and two magnetic suction plates 19.

[0044] Furthermore, the lifting slider 2 is internally provided with a cutting angle adjustment component 22, a cutting drive component 23, a mounting cylinder 24, a mounting component 25, and a mounting block 26.

[0048] When using a CNC cutting device for aerospace parts according to this embodiment, the operator first starts the equipment through the CNC system. Specifically, the CNC system uses a closed-loop synchronous linkage control for the arm lifting component 21 and the internal winding component 16: the system collects the extension and retraction displacement of the arm lifting component 21 in real time, and synchronously drives the internal winding component 16 to perform corresponding actions at a 1:1 displacement ratio; when the arm lifting component 21 drives the lower arm 15 to extend downward, the internal winding component 16 synchronously releases an equal length of the internal winding rope 17. When the lifting arm 21 drives the lower arm 15 to retract upwards, the internal winding component 16 simultaneously winds up an equal length of the internal winding rope 17. Through this linkage control, the relative position of the lifting slider 2 with respect to the lower arm 15 can always be kept stable, while the tension of the internal winding rope 17 is kept constant. This avoids the internal winding rope 17 being pulled and tightened when the arm extends, which would cause the tool position to shift, and also avoids the internal winding rope 17 becoming loose and accumulating when the arm retracts, which would cause jamming. This ensures the processing positioning accuracy and operational reliability under different arm extension lengths. At this time, all components automatically reset to their initial state; the internal winding component 16 winds up the internal winding rope 17, raising the lifting slider 2 to the upper material changing position of the upper arm 14; the arm lifting component 21 drives the lower arm 15 to rise to its initial position; the aerospace part 4 to be processed is placed between the two clamping drive components 12, and the clamping drive components 12 on both sides advance synchronously, relying on the end face clamping plates to press the aerospace part 4 against both end faces to fix the workpiece; the rotation drive component 36 can drive the aerospace part 4 to rotate to a preset processing angle according to the processing program; the cutting adjustment table is activated, and the two longitudinal movement components 5 and the transverse movement component 6 move in coordination to... The cutting arm 1 is coarsely positioned above the machining area of the aerospace component 4; subsequently, the X-axis adjustment component 7, the Y-axis adjustment component 8, and the lifting adjustment component 9 perform secondary fine adjustments to precisely position the cutting arm 1 to the machining station; the internal winding component 16 releases the internal winding rope 17, and the lifting slider 2 descends along the inside of the cutting arm 1 under the guidance of the limiting block 18 and the slide groove 33; when it descends to the machining position at the bottom of the lower arm body 15, the magnetic suction plate 19 is energized to attract and fix the lifting slider 2; the cutting drive component 23 is activated, driving the cutting tool 3 to rotate at high speed, while the cutting angle adjustment component 22 adjusts the tool to a preset cutting angle, and begins to cut the aerospace component 4. The irregular groove inside the aerospace component 4 is processed according to the corresponding process; during the processing, the cutting area is sprayed with water to cool it down and remove metal impurities, and the generated wastewater and chips fall into the collection tank 13 below for centralized collection; after the single process is completed, the cutting drive component 23 stops running; the magnetic suction plate 19 is de-energized and releases its adsorption; the internal winding component 16 winds up the internal winding rope 17, driving the lifting slider 2 to rise to the material changing position of the upper arm body 14 and align it with the opening 35; the material changing lifting component 31 drives the material changing clamping component 34 to adjust to the corresponding height; the material changing transverse component 32 drives the material changing clamping component 34 to pass through the opening 35 and enter the interior of the upper arm body 14; The mounting component 25 drives the mounting block 26 to retract, releasing the docking block 28; the material changing clamping component 34 clamps the old cutting tool 3, and exits the upper arm body 14 along with the material changing lateral movement component 32; the rotating storage component 29 drives the rotating storage bin 30 to rotate, rotating the new cutting tool 3 corresponding to the next process to the material changing station; the material changing lateral movement component 32 again drives the material changing clamping component 34 to clamp the new cutting tool 3, and sends it through the opening 35 into the mounting cylinder 24; the mounting component 25 drives the mounting block 26 to extend, locking the docking block 28, completing the tool replacement; the material changing clamping component 34 releases and exits the upper arm body 14.After the tool change is completed, the internal winding component 16 releases the internal winding rope 17 again, causing the lifting slider 2 and the new cutting tool 3 to descend to the processing position. The magnetic suction plate 19 is then re-attached and fixed, and the next processing step begins.
