Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aerospace parts processing equipment, specifically to a quick-assembly lathe for aerospace parts processing. Background Technology
[0002] An aircraft is any machine that takes off and flies by aerodynamically through the relative motion of its fuselage and the air; including balloons, airships, airplanes, helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, etc.; aircraft manufacturing refers to the process of manufacturing aircraft according to the design requirements of different types of aircraft. Aircraft fuselage manufacturing involves processes such as process preparation, manufacturing of process equipment, preparation of blanks, machining of parts, assembly, and inspection; in the process of spacecraft component machining, some aircraft components need to be machined using a lathe.
[0003] Currently, when machining aerospace parts on existing lathes, the positioning mechanism on the lathe is typically used to position the part to be machined. Then, the cutting tool on the lathe is moved to contact the part, causing the positioning mechanism to rotate, which in turn rotates the part, achieving the machining effect. This method is simple to operate. However, in actual use, the following drawbacks still exist:
[0004] During the machining of aerospace parts, after the aerospace parts positioned on the positioning mechanism have been machined, it is necessary to first remove the positioning mechanism from the machined aerospace parts before installing and positioning the next aerospace parts to be machined, so that the machining end of the aerospace parts is facing the cutting tool for subsequent machining. This results in a significant waste of time in installing and removing aerospace parts, thereby reducing the machining efficiency of aerospace parts.
[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a quick-assembly lathe for machining aerospace parts. Utility Model Content

The snap-fit block can be inserted into the snap-fit groove and snap-fit with the rotating rod.
[0014] Furthermore: the positioning mechanism includes a positioning block fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod. A receiving cavity is provided on the side of the positioning block away from the rotating rod.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following quick-assembly lathe for machining aerospace parts is provided:
[0033] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the quick-assembly lathe for machining aerospace parts provided by this utility model includes a base 1. A groove 11 is formed on the top of the base 1. Guide rails 12 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the base 1 and on both sides of the groove 11. Moving blocks 13 are slidably mounted on each of the two guide rails 12 along the length of the base 1. Vertical telescopic rods 14 are fixed to the top of each moving block 13. Moving frames 15 are fixed to the top of the two telescopic rods 14. An electric cylinder 131 connected to the moving frame 15 is fixedly mounted on each moving block 13. A driving mechanism 1 that acts on the moving block 13 is mounted on one of the guide rails 12. 6. It is used to make the moving block 13 slide or stop sliding on the guide rail 12. The top of the moving frame 15 is slidably mounted with a slider 17 in a horizontal direction. An electric cylinder 151 connected to the slider 17 is fixedly mounted on the moving frame 15. A mounting seat 18 is fixedly mounted on one side of the slider 17. A mounting groove 181 is opened on the side of the mounting seat 18 away from the moving frame 15. A cutting tool 19 is inserted on the mounting seat 18 and located in the mounting groove 181, which is engaged with the mounting seat 18. The bottom end of the cutting tool 19 extends to the bottom of the moving frame 15. The cutting tool 19 and the mounting seat 18 are fixed by screws.
[0034] A mounting block 2 is fixedly mounted on the base 1 at the end of the mounting base 18 away from the slider 17. The top of the mounting block 2 extends above the base 1. A horizontal rotating shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 2. A motor 22 for driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the mounting block 2.
[0035] A vertically oriented rotating shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 2. A connecting frame 24 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 23. A driving mechanism 3 that acts on the rotating shaft 23 is mounted on the mounting block 2, which is used to make the rotating shaft 23 rotate on the mounting block 2. Horizontally oriented rotating rods 6 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the connecting frame 24. The two rotating rods 6 are located in the same axial direction. Positioning mechanisms 4 for positioning aerospace parts are installed at the ends of the two rotating rods 6 that are far apart from each other. A snap-fit component 5 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 21 that is close to the moving frame 15. When the rotating rod 6 and the rotating shaft 21 are in the same axial direction, the rotating rod 6 that is close to the moving frame 15 can be snapped into the rotating shaft 21 through the snap-fit component 5.
[0036] When machining aerospace parts, the aerospace parts to be machined are placed on the positioning mechanism 4 near the cutting tool 19. The positioning mechanism 4 positions the aerospace parts to be machined. The driving mechanism 16 causes the moving block 13 to slide on the guide rail 12 towards the positioning mechanism 4. During this process, the electric cylinder 131 causes the moving frame 15 to slide along the telescopic rod 14 to adjust the height of the moving frame 15. Then, with the cooperation of the electric cylinder 151, the slider 17 slides on the moving frame 15, thereby adjusting the position of the cutting tool 19 so that the cutting tool 19 contacts the aerospace parts to be machined. The control motor 22 causes the rotating shaft 21 to rotate on the mounting block 2, which in turn drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate on the connecting frame 24 through the snap-fit 5. This causes the positioning mechanism 4 to rotate the aerospace parts to be machined. With the cooperation of the driving mechanism 16 causing the moving block 13 to slide on the guide rail 12 towards the positioning mechanism 4, the machining of the aerospace parts can be achieved. During the cutting process, the next aerospace component to be cut can be placed on the positioning mechanism 4 for fixation. After the aerospace component on the positioning mechanism 4 near the moving frame 15 has been cut, the drive mechanism 3 causes the rotating shaft 23 to rotate on the mounting block 2, driving the connecting frame 24 to rotate around the rotating shaft 23, thus exchanging the positions of the two positioning mechanisms 4. This allows the next aerospace component to be cut to be close to the cutting tool 19. At this time, with the cooperation of the motor 22 and the drive mechanism 16, the next aerospace component to be cut can be cut. Thus, by cooperating with the two sets of positioning mechanisms 4 and the drive mechanism 3, the method of first canceling the positioning mechanism 4 to position the completed aerospace component and then installing and positioning the next aerospace component to be cut is replaced, saving the time of installing and disassembling aerospace components and achieving a rapid installation effect for aerospace components to be cut, thereby improving the processing efficiency of aerospace components.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:
[0039] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 16 includes a threaded post 161 that is horizontally rotatably mounted on the guide rail 12. The threaded post 161 is threadedly connected to the moving block 13. A motor 162 for driving the threaded post 161 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the guide rail 12. In use, the motor 162 is turned on to make the threaded post 161 rotate on the guide rail 12, thereby allowing the moving block 13 to slide on the guide rail 12, which is convenient for control.
[0040] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 includes a second electric motor 31 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting block 2. The output shaft of the second electric motor 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 23 through a bevel gear assembly 32. Specifically, the bevel gear assembly 32 includes two meshing bevel gears. One bevel gear is coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 23, and the other bevel gear is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the second electric motor 31. In use, the second electric motor 31 is turned on, and the output shaft of the second electric motor 31 rotates, which drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate on the mounting block 2 through the bevel gear assembly 32, making it easy to control.
[0041] In this embodiment, the snap-fit component 5 includes a snap-fit block 51 fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 21. Each of the two rotating rods 6 has a snap-fit groove 61 on the side that is close to each other. The snap-fit block 51 can be inserted into the snap-fit groove 61 and snap-fit with the rotating rod 6. In use, when the connecting frame 24 rotates around the rotating shaft 23, it drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate around the rotating shaft 23, so that the rotating rod 6 and the rotating shaft 21 are located in the same axial direction. The snap-fit block 51 at the end of the rotating shaft 21 is inserted into the snap-fit groove 61 and snap-fit with the rotating rod 6, thereby realizing the snap-fit effect between the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating rod 6.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:
[0044] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning block 41 fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 6. A receiving cavity 411 is provided on the side of the positioning block 41 away from the rotating rod 6. Clamping blocks 42 are symmetrically slidably installed on the positioning block 41 and within the receiving cavity 411. Each clamping block 42 has a clamping groove 421 with a V-shaped longitudinal section on the side where the two clamping blocks 42 are close to each other. A bidirectional threaded rod 43 is rotatably installed on the positioning block 41. The bidirectional threaded rod 43 is threadedly connected to both clamping blocks 42. When positioning aerospace parts, the aerospace parts are inserted into the receiving cavity 411 and located inside the clamping grooves 421 on the two clamping blocks 42. The bidirectional threaded rod 43 is rotated to make the two clamping blocks 42 slide in opposite directions and approach each other within the receiving cavity 411. This allows both clamping blocks 42 to come into contact with the aerospace parts, thus achieving the positioning effect of the aerospace parts. The operation is simple.
[0045] In this embodiment, protrusions 422 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the clamping groove 421. By setting the protrusions 422, when the aerospace parts are clamped by the two clamping blocks 42, the multiple protrusions 422 on the inner side of the clamping groove 421 abut against the aerospace parts, which replaces the way that the smooth surface of the inner wall of the clamping groove 421 abuts against the aerospace parts, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping blocks 42 and the aerospace parts and improving the positioning effect of the aerospace parts.
[0046] In this embodiment, a slot with an internal groove 11 is provided on one side of the platform 1. A collection box 7 with an open top is inserted on the platform 1 and in the slot. The collection box 7 extends into the groove 11 and fits against the inner side wall of the groove 11. By setting the collection box 7, the waste generated during the cutting and processing of aerospace parts by this equipment can fall into the collection box 7 under its own gravity, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning up the waste generated during the processing of aerospace parts. The platform 1 is equipped with a limiting member 8 that acts on the collection box 7, which is used to limit the collection box 7 inserted into the slot. By setting the limiting member 8, the effect of limiting the collection box 7 inserted into the slot is achieved.
[0047] In this embodiment, the limiting member 8 includes a limiting rod 81 hinged to the base 1 and located above the slot. The end of the limiting rod 81 can abut against the collection box 7 inserted into the slot. When in use, when the collection box 7 is inserted into the slot, the limiting rod 81 is rotated so that its end abuts against the collection box 7 inserted into the slot, thereby achieving the limiting effect on the collection box 7.
