Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerospace machining, and in particular to an auxiliary support device for machining the outer diameter of parts with a large length-to-diameter ratio. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of hydraulic servo valves, the flexible rod connects various components and plays a crucial role in connection. Even slight changes in its size and shape can lead to variations in the performance of the hydraulic servo valve. Flexible rods range in length from 200 to 300 mm, with length-to-diameter ratios around 80, and some even reaching 100. They are considered extremely weak stiffness components, and their deformation during machining has always been a challenging problem in the field of mechanical processing.
[0003] Due to their extremely low rigidity, flexible rods are more significantly affected by radial cutting forces during machining. This manifests as noticeable tool deflection, leading to low machining accuracy, poor straightness, difficulty in ensuring product consistency, and low assembly pass rate. To reduce bending deformation during machining, operators typically reduce the depth of cut. However, this method severely reduces machining efficiency and has no significant effect on improving machining deformation. Utility Model Content

In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this utility model.

In the accompanying drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown to avoid unnecessarily obscuring this utility model.
[0025] This invention provides an auxiliary support device for machining the outer diameter of parts with a large length-to-diameter ratio. Taking a flexible rod as an example, by installing this device on the machine tool and adjusting the position of the slider to press it against the outer diameter of the flexible rod, the radial force generated by cutting is counteracted. At the same time, the friction between the part and the device is reduced through line contact and rolling.
[0026] This utility model provides an auxiliary support device for machining the outer diameter of parts with a large length-to-diameter ratio, such as... Figure 1a-10 As shown, it includes: bracket 1, bearing bolt 2, sliding support assembly, and bearing 9;
[0027] The lower end of the bracket 1 is connected to the machine tool guide rail. The upper end of the bracket 1 is provided with mutually perpendicular and non-collision sliding grooves. A sliding support assembly is installed in each sliding groove. The V-shaped ends of the two sliding support assemblies are opposite to each other. The bearing 9 is installed on the V-shaped end by bearing bolt 2. The outer circle of the bearing part extends beyond the V-shaped end.
[0028] Two bearings press against the outer circle of the part to be machined from above and behind, respectively.
[0029] The sliding support assembly includes: pad 3, slider 4, slider bolt 5, fixing bolt 6, connecting block 7, and adjusting bolt 8;
[0030] The top opening of slider 4 is V-shaped. The bottom of slider 4 is connected to adjusting bolt 8 by fixing bolt 6 and connecting block 7. A long groove along the height is opened on the side of slider 4. Slider bolt 5 and pad 3 cooperate with the long groove to fix slider.
[0031] Slider 4 is used to support the bearing and adjust the bearing position; slider bolt 5 is used to fix the slider and can be adjusted to adjust the slider position; fixing bolt 6 fixes the slider and connecting block; connecting block 7 connects the slider and bolt; adjusting bolt 8 is screwed into the bracket on one end and fixed to the slider through the connecting block on the other end, and can adjust the slider position.
[0032] When bearing 9 is working, it presses against the outer circle of the part to prevent the part from bending radially, while rotating with the part.
[0033] The usage method is as follows:
[0034] Install the device at a suitable position on the machine tool guide rail; clamp the flexible rod and tighten it against the machine tool tailstock; adjust the position of the device on the machine tool guide rail so that it is near the area to be processed, but offset from the area to be processed by a certain distance to avoid cutting into the effective support position of the slide bearing and causing it to lose its support capacity, and then tighten the bolts to fix it; adjust the position of the slide to make it press against the outer circle of the flexible rod, and then tighten the screws to fix it; start processing the outer circle of the flexible rod. The device should be adjusted synchronously with the processing area and should not be too far away from the area to be processed, so as not to reduce the effective support force provided by the device.
[0035] The machining method using this fixture may include the following steps:
[0036] S1, fix the device to the machine tool guide rail, loosen bolts ⑤ and 8 to open the two sliders 4 so that the parts can be clamped;
[0037] S2, Install and clamp the part to be processed onto the machine tool, and tighten it with the tailstock;
[0038] S3, determine the area to be processed, then adjust the position of the device on the machine tool guide rail, and then fix it;
[0039] S4, adjust the position of slider 4 so that it is pressed against the outer circle of the part, and then tighten bolts 5 and 8 to fix it;
[0040] S5, during the processing, as the processing position changes, the position of the device is adjusted synchronously to place it near the area to be processed in order to provide effective support.
[0041] This invention solves the problem of bending deformation that easily occurs in typical flexible rod products during turning. The device provides support in both the X and Y axes, effectively reducing bending deformation caused by radial cutting forces during machining. It changes the original surface contact to line contact and sliding to rolling, significantly reducing part wear. Furthermore, because it provides support in the symmetrical direction of the cutting force, a larger depth of cut can be used during machining, and the reduced need for frequent replacement of worn parts greatly improves machining efficiency. Finally, the adjustable slider mechanism can adapt to parts of different specifications, making the device highly versatile.
[0042] It should be noted that, without conflict, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the order of the above operation steps or flexibly combine the above steps as needed.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
