Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of machining fixtures for annular thin-walled parts, specifically a machining fixture for annular thin-walled parts of aero-engines. Background Technology

[0002] An aircraft engine is a power unit that provides thrust to an aircraft. It is the "heart" of the aircraft, and its performance directly affects the aircraft's performance, efficiency, and safety. A piston engine uses the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by burning fuels such as aviation gasoline to drive the piston. The piston converts the reciprocating motion into the rotational motion of the crankshaft through the connecting rod, which in turn drives the propeller to rotate and generate thrust.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of annular thin-walled components in aero-engines, holes need to be drilled into the curved sidewalls of the components. Currently, drilling holes in the annular thin-walled cylinder is done manually, aligning the drill bit with the markings on the component. Sometimes, the direction of the drill bit deviates from the diameter of the cross-section of the annular thin-walled cylinder, creating a risk of drilling off-center. This situation is commonly referred to as hole position offset. Incorrect hole position will create additional stress concentration points on the thin-walled cylinder, reducing the structural strength and fatigue life, and increasing the failure rate. Utility Model Content

Specifically, this utility model provides a machining fixture for annular thin-walled parts of aero-engines, which solves the technical problem mentioned in the background that current drilling is done manually, and sometimes the direction of the drill bit deviates from the cross-sectional diameter direction of the annular thin-walled cylinder, resulting in misaligned drilling.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A machining fixture for annular thin-walled parts of an aero-engine includes a fixture table, an annular frame on the fixture table, a hole-opening mechanism at the middle position of the annular frame, a bracket on the bracket, a slide rail on the slide rail, a sliding table slidably connected to the slide rail, a second motor on the sliding table, a drill bit at the output end of the second motor, and a detachable arc-shaped liner on the bracket, with the drill bit passing through a circular hole in the arc-shaped liner.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket is also equipped with a cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the bottom of the sliding table.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with two mounting holes, each mounting hole is provided with a sliding member, each sliding member includes a sleeve, and each sleeve is provided with a ball bearing at its lower end.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the ball bearings is movably connected to an annular groove, and two annular grooves are respectively disposed on the tooling table and the annular frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a placement slot is provided at the center of the tooling table, and a first motor is installed in the placement slot, with the output end of the first motor connected to the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer edge of the annular frame is provided with positioning holes at equal intervals for positioning the annular thin-walled component.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention, through the design of a tooling table, motor, ring frame, bracket, mounting hole, slide rail, sliding table, motor, drill bit, sliding component, and cylinder, enables the auxiliary drill bit to precisely drill along the cross-sectional diameter of the annular thin-walled cylinder each time during the processing of annular thin-walled parts for aero engines. This effectively reduces the risk of drilling off-center, avoids additional stress concentration points on the thin-walled cylinder due to incorrect hole positions, improves the overall structural strength, extends service life, and reduces the defect rate. Furthermore, the arc-shaped liner closely adheres to the inner wall of the annular thin-walled part, further suppressing deformation of the thin wall during the drilling process. The structure is stable, easy to operate, and has certain practical value.
