AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the profile of the flange ring of the CT scanner cylinder cannot meet the accuracy requirement of ±1 due to uneven force during processing and transportation, which fails to meet the high-precision manufacturing standards of CT scanners.
A CT scanner cylinder flange ring shaping fixture is designed. It uses a matching arc surface of the parting surface of the moving mold and the fixed mold, combined with a support component to support the flange ring. The moving mold is driven to move towards the fixed mold by a drive component to achieve high-precision shaping of the flange ring and ensure uniform force distribution.
It significantly improves the shaping profile accuracy of the flange ring, ensuring that the flange ring still meets the accuracy requirement of ±1 after the material springs back, thus meeting the high-precision manufacturing standards of CT scanners.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a tooling for shaping the flange ring of a CT scanner cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern medical equipment manufacturing, especially in the production of computed tomography (CT) scanners, extremely high precision is required for the machine's outer casing. Within the CT scanner's casing, the circular support is a key structural component, with a "U"-shaped cross-section. This design provides the support with a certain degree of rigidity and stability. However, due to the support's concave-convex surface structure, after being rolled into a flange ring, it must undergo a series of surface processing treatments such as welding, electroplating, and spraying. These processing steps, as well as subsequent transportation, inevitably apply varying degrees of force to the flange ring's surface, causing changes in the flange ring's profile that exceed the allowable range of forming errors.
[0003] like Figure 1 The existing technology typically uses three rollers to simultaneously apply force to the inner and outer surfaces of the flange ring to restore its circular shape. While this technology can improve the shape of the flange ring to some extent, long-term use has shown that its profile accuracy can only reach ±2, which is far from meeting the manufacturing standards for the complex and highly precise casing of a CT scanner. The profile error of the circular support of a CT scanner must be controlled within ±1 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and image quality.
[0004] The reason why the flange ring profile does not meet the standard in the existing technology is that the rolling processing method used in the existing technology actually rolls each point or line segment in the flange ring. However, the points or line segments in the flange ring structure are not on the same plane, so the distribution of the force acting on the flange ring is uneven, and high-precision shaping cannot be achieved.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, designing a CT scanner cylinder flange ring shaping fixture is a crucial technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the parting surface on the movable die and the fixed die is formed with a concave-convex structure matched with each other.
[0010] Preferably, the distance between the parting surface and the center point of the shaping bracket is 85% of the radius of the flange ring.
[0011] Preferably, the support part has at least three; the support part is a roller, the setting direction of the roller is arranged along the diameter direction of the flange ring, and all the contact points between the flange ring and the support part are located inside or outside the highest point of the roller.

[0014] Preferably, the support part has four, and the four support parts are arranged in a central symmetry.
[0015] Preferably, the driving part is a gas cylinder or an oil cylinder or a linear motor.
[0016] The advantages of the technical scheme of the utility model mainly embody in:
[0017] By cooperation of the movable die and the fixed die, a quantitative force is applied to each circular arc segment or circular arc surface of the flange ring; the segmented pressing and shaping technology can ensure that the force is uniformly distributed on the circular arc segment within the coverage range of the movable die and the fixed die, thereby significantly improving the profile after shaping and realizing high-precision shaping effect on the flange ring or the circular arc segment.
[0018] By the concave-convex structure, the force is uniformly distributed on the circular arc segment within the coverage range of the movable die and the fixed die, thereby significantly improving the profile after shaping and realizing high-precision shaping effect on the flange ring or the circular arc segment.
[0019] The distance between the parting surface and the center point of the shaping bracket is designed as 85% of the flange ring radius, so that the elastic rebound range of the material is applied with a quantitative force on each circular segment or circular surface of the flange ring after the dynamic mold and the fixed mold are matched in the machining process, so that the flange ring still has a required profile after the material rebounds.

[0037] Further, the parting surface 123 on the movable mould 12 and the fixed mould 13 is formed with a concave-convex structure matched with each other. The concave-convex structure is used to ensure that the acting force is uniformly distributed on the circular arc segment within the covering range of the movable mould and the fixed mould, so that the contour degree after shaping is significantly improved, and high-precision shaping effect of the flange ring or the circular arc segment is realized.
[0038] The distance between the profiling surface 123 and the center point of the profiling bracket 2 is preferably designed as 85% of the flange ring radius, and the remaining 15% can be used as the springback amount after profiling. Such a design allows the application of a quantitative force to each circular arc segment or circular arc surface of the flange ring within the elastic springback range of the material after the mold and the die are matched during processing, so as to ensure that the flange ring still has a required profile after the material springs back.
