AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During deep hole machining, excessively long boring bar overhangs result in insufficient rigidity and large deflection. The boring head experiences significant stress and sinks, causing the machining center and product center to become misaligned, leading to poor hole straightness. Traditional correction methods are inefficient and costly, making it difficult to meet the machining requirements of inner holes in ultra-long parts.

Method used

The bearing rotation support device, which adopts a purely mechanical structure, achieves good support stability and good correction effect through the conical contact between the conical ring and the inner support ring and the support of the needle roller bearing. When the boring bar rotates, it is supported in the hole by multiple bearing support devices to avoid the boring head sinking and the boring bar deflection. A small gap is left between the support key and the hole wall, which is suitable for multiple hole corrections.

Benefits of technology

A single correction can straighten large holes, control the straightness and coaxiality of deep holes, improve processing efficiency, reduce wear risk, and meet the processing requirements of inner holes of ultra-long parts.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of part processing field, specifically a kind of bearing rotating support device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The normal process route of deep hole finishing is: drilling→rough boring→reduction→correction→semi-finish boring→chip removal→slag removal→finish hole→hole grinding.Due to the small amount of allowance left after semi-finish boring, it is not easy to correct, and the product processing may face the risk of exceeding the tolerance, so the bottom hole must be corrected and straightened before semi-finish boring (through run-out and wall thickness difference control).Due to the particularity and limitation of deep hole machining conditions, the overhang of the boring bar is too long, the rigidity is insufficient, the deflection is large, the boring head sinks under stress during boring, which causes the eccentricity of the machining center and the product center, and the straightness of the hole deteriorates after a certain depth, and the hole inevitably deviates during machining.If the bottom hole needs to be corrected and straightened for each cut, not only a lot of time and cost will be wasted, but also the boring deviation will still occur during subsequent boring finishing, and for super-long part hole machining, the difficulty increases exponentially, and the above problems will be more serious, which directly affects the product qualification rate.Therefore, before the semi-finish boring process of the deep hole, the straightness of the large hole bottom hole should be effectively controlled to avoid more risks and losses caused by repeated correction.

[0003] The traditional correction method is to rotate the workpiece and fix the boring bar, and the boring bar and boring head key groove are clamped and locked by support blocks.Due to the long-time rotation and wear of the support blocks and the hole wall of the workpiece, the support gap increases, which causes the straightness of the hole to increase after the machining depth is increased, causing significant quality risks for subsequent finishing;The super-long part hole refers to an inner hole with a depth of more than 15m.At present, the first piece of a certain ship type propeller shaft in the country has a length of more than 21 meters during deep hole machining, and the large hole depth is more than 19 meters, the large hole depth accounts for 0.9 of the total shaft length, and the large hole straightness is ≤φ1.0, and the coaxiality of large and small holes is ≤φ1.25.During machining, the hole's maximum wall thickness difference still exceeds 5mm through repeated correction by re-machining the frame position and conventional correction method.Therefore, it is also difficult to meet the final drawing requirements using conventional methods to correct the hole's wall thickness difference.

[0004] CN117358967A discloses a boring bar intermediate support device for deep hole machining equipment, which comprises a left connecting disc, a rotating support, an oil cylinder, a hydraulic control and a system operation program. The right end of the left connecting disc is connected with the rotating support through bolts, the right end of the rotating support is connected with the oil cylinder through bolts, there is a thrust sleeve connection between the rotating support and the oil cylinder, the right end of the oil cylinder is provided with oil inlet and oil return channels and is connected with a three-position four-way electromagnetic valve of the hydraulic control part through a hose, and then forms a closed loop with an oil tank. The scheme controls the extension and retraction of the rotating support by controlling the action of the oil cylinder through the program in the operation system to play a supporting role, which needs to increase the corresponding oil circuit and valve device, not only high cost, but also inconvenient control, and there is an oil pipe interference problem; the machining aperture is limited, and for machining small aperture and large step hole products, the installation space is insufficient, and during the rotary machining process, the oil pipe is prone to breakage, iron filings are accumulated to cut off the hose, the oil cylinder has no action, and the supporting effect cannot be achieved in time, which causes hidden troubles to the product quality.

The support block only bears the supporting force, eliminating rotational friction and preventing boring deviation caused by support block wear. A correction boring head is connected to the front end of the boring bar. Operating the deep hole drilling and boring machine rotates the boring bar, and the boring head enters the inner boring hole for correction. During boring, multiple sets of bearing rotary support devices rotate and support, lifting the overhanging boring head and boring bar, preventing the boring head from sinking and the boring bar from deflecting due to rotational torque and radial cutting. A small gap is left between the support block and the hole wall, preventing axial movement and seizing caused by tool wear and inner hole shrinkage.

The entire machining process is stable and the surface quality is good. For propeller shaft deep holes with a length of up to 19 meters, the straightness of the large hole reaches φ0.7mm and the coaxiality of the large and small holes is φ0.53mm.
