[0004] The existing technology has the following technical defects:
[0005] The above technical solution can achieve the clamping and fixing of the rudder blade, but its structure is complex, and the debris generated during the processing can easily enter the complex parts, making it difficult to clean and the maintenance cycle short. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a special tool for processing rudder blades.

[0008] Working process or working principle:
[0009] During use, the tooling body is clamped to the four-axis machining center through the clamping block and the tightening block, and then the placement of support bars of different heights is adjusted according to the curved shape of the rudder blade to be processed. Positioning fixing plates are welded or left at both ends of the rudder blade blank, and positioning is achieved by inserting the positioning holes on the rudder blade into the precision positioning pins at both ends of the tooling body, and then the rudder blade is fixed and processed through the fixing assembly.
[0010] The upper surface of the tooling body is provided with support grooves corresponding to the support bars one by one, and a height adjustment structure adapted to the support bars is provided in the support grooves. The height of the support bars can be adjusted through the height adjustment structure, so that the rudder blank can be more accurately fitted.
[0011] The height adjustment structure is an adjustment bolt threadedly connected to the bottom of the tool body, and the top of the adjustment bolt passes through the tool body and abuts against the corresponding support bar.
[0012] The top of the support bar is arc-shaped.
[0013] The fixing assembly is a fixing bolt that penetrates the tool body and is threadedly fixed to the positioning fixing piece of the rudder blank and the tool body.
[0014] Both ends of the upper surface of the tooling body are provided with positioning and fixing platforms, which are respectively arranged at the intersection of the tooling body and the clamping block and the tightening block. The upper surface of the fixing platform is 1-3mm higher than the upper surface of the tooling body, and the precision positioning pins and fixing bolts are both arranged on the positioning and fixing platform.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] The utility model can meet the special tooling of four-axis machining centers. The four-axis machining centers have a high penetration rate and low operating costs. The tooling designed and manufactured on such equipment is easy to use and smart to load and unload. The cost of self-processing tooling is low. While ensuring the processing accuracy requirements, the tool cost, equipment operating cost, procurement cost, and procurement of customized molds have effectively reduced costs and shortened construction periods.
