[0030] Figure 2 (A) in FIG. 2 is Figure 1 a cross-sectional perspective view; Figure 2 (B) in FIG. 2 is Figure 2 a partial enlarged view of (A) in FIG. 2, which shows the adjustable support assembly of the clamp.

[0031] Through the above setting, the second annular seat can be supported, the deformation at the cantilever part 43 caused by poor rigidity of the cantilever thin-wall part during milling is eliminated, and problems such as long process flow and complicated processing caused by repeated reference correction in the traditional process are reduced. The processing quality and processing efficiency of the cantilever thin-wall part are improved, the production cycle and processing cost are reduced, and large-scale production and processing are suitable.

[0032] Preferably, the adjusting member comprises a first thread and a second thread connected with the adjusting cylinder 31 and the adjusting rod 32 respectively, and the first thread is screwed with the second thread. The first thread is arranged in the internal hollow space 311 of the adjusting cylinder 31, and the second thread is arranged on the outside of the adjusting rod 32.

[0033] Through the above setting, different sizes of cantilever thin-wall parts can be adapted, so that the machining scene of more cantilever thin-wall parts can be applied.

[0034] In some embodiments, the adjusting cylinder 31 and the adjusting rod 32 are respectively provided with a fixing through hole extending in the radial direction of the cylindrical adjusting cylinder, and the fixing member penetrates through the fixing through hole, so as to limit the position of the adjusting rod 32 relative to the adjusting cylinder 31 and fix the adjusting rod 32 at the desired position in the adjusting cylinder.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 1 , the pressing assembly 2 comprises a pressing plate 21 and an adjusting screw 22, the pressing plate is provided with an adjusting through hole 23, and the adjusting screw 22 penetrates through the adjusting through hole 23 and is screw-fixed with the clamp base 1. In Figure 3 and Figure 1 , the adjusting through hole 23 is a long and narrow hole, so that the pressing plate 21 can move in the extension direction of the long and narrow hole, so as to adjust the position of the pressing plate 21 relative to the cantilever thin-wall part, and then adapt to different sizes of cantilever thin-wall parts.

[0036] Preferably, the number of the adjustable support assemblies is 4-10. The number of the pressing assemblies is 4-8. In the example shown in the drawings, the number of the adjustable support assemblies is 6, and the number of the pressing assemblies is 4.

[0037] The utility model also provides a machine tool, it includes the clamp for cantilever thin-wall part according to the above.

[0038] The processing method of the cantilever thin-wall part provided by the present disclosure is described below.

[0039] The method for processing cantilever thin-walled parts provided by the present disclosure comprises the following steps:

[0040] S1: clamp the fixture body to the machine tool, and align the fixture.

[0041] S2: install 6 adjustable support assemblies 3 evenly arranged directly below the corresponding second annular seat 42 of the fixture base.

[0042] Among them, the adjusting rod 32 of the adjustable support assembly 3 is connected with the adjusting cylinder 31 through threads, so that the length of the adjusting rod 32 extending out of the adjusting cylinder 31 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to different cantilever thin-walled parts.

[0043] S4: clamp the cantilever thin-walled part on the fixture.

[0044] In step S4, first place the cantilever thin-walled part on the fixture base, then adjust the position of the pressing plate 21 of the pressing assembly 2 relative to the adjusting through hole 23, so that the end of the pressing plate is pressed on the first annular seat 41, and finally tighten the adjusting screw 22, thereby clamping the cantilever thin-walled part on the fixture.

[0045] S5: adjust the adjustable support assembly.

[0046] In step S5, screw the adjusting rod 32 of the adjustable support assembly 3 into the adjusting cylinder 31, so that the top of the adjusting rod 32 is in contact with the bottom of the second annular seat 42 of the cantilever thin-walled part 4. Use a 0.02 plug gauge to check the gap between the adjusting rod 32 and the bottom of the second annular seat 42 of the cantilever thin-walled part 4, and the 0.02 plug gauge should not pass through the gap. After adjusting the gap, further screw the fixing member 33 (nut) into the adjusting rod 32, so that the fixing member 33 (nut) is in contact with the upper part of the adjusting cylinder 31, thereby fixing the adjusting rod 32 in the adjusting cylinder 31 and preventing loosening during processing.

[0047] Through the adjustable support assembly 3, the thin wall of the cantilever thin-walled part 4 is supported, preventing deformation during processing of the cantilever thin-walled part 4.

[0048] S6: semi-finishing.

[0049] S6.11: First, process the center hole (the largest hole in the center of the second annular seat 42). Then process the small holes on the end face of the remaining section of the second annular seat 42, (in the example shown in the figure, 108 Φ2.2 holes need to be processed). The small holes are processed using the "pecking drill" processing strategy, with a processing allowance of 0.1 mm. The drill bit rotates at a speed S = 8000 r / min, the feed rate F = 20 mm / min, and the drill bit is lifted and broken after processing each hole to a depth of 1 mm. This prevents the accumulation of iron chips from wearing out the drill bit during processing; the 108 Φ2.2 holes are divided into 9 holes per group, with 12 groups in total. After processing each group, the quality of the drill bit needs to be checked. This prevents the drill bit from becoming dull and affecting the axial extrusion force on the cantilever thin-walled part.

[0050] S6.2: Finally, process the U-shaped through hole 44 on the cantilever portion 43. In this step, semi-finishing is performed using high-speed dynamic milling. A D10 alloy milling cutter is used, with a rotational speed S = 8000 r / min, a feed rate F = 1000 mm / min, a step size of 0.5 mm, and a finishing allowance of 0.3 mm. High-speed dynamic milling has the advantages of high processing efficiency, smooth milling, constant cutting step, uniform cutting force, and smooth machine operation.

[0051] S7: Finishing.

[0052] S7.1: First, use a reamer to finish the largest through hole on the second annular seat, with a rotational speed S = 5000 r / min and a feed rate F = 15 mm / min.

[0053] S7.2: Then, finish the U-shaped through hole 44 on the cantilever portion 43 using a D10 alloy milling cutter, with a rotational speed S = 5000 r / min and a feed rate F = 500 mm / min.

[0054] S8: Unloading.

[0055] In step S8, the adjusting screw 22 is loosened, the pressure plate 21 is moved, and the cantilever thin-walled part is removed for inspection. If the inspection is passed, the processing of the cantilever thin-walled part is completed.

[0056] S9: Product acceptance, processing is complete.

[0057] Note that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, reconfigurations and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, although the present application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and can include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present application, and all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
