Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of processing and shaping, in particular to an auxiliary tool for processing and shaping metal stringer parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aluminum alloy extruded profiles or titanium alloy stringers are important fuselage structure parts of helicopters, and their dimensional accuracy determines the accumulated tolerance in the riveting process and the strength performance under mechanical vibration forces during service. The traditional stringer forming process is as follows: blanking with a pincette allowance, loading the pincette in a horizontal state and clamping, opening the profile bending equipment, uniformly pulling and bending along the bending die until the profile is attached to the die (for titanium alloy, due to poor plasticity at low temperature, a flame torch is usually used for heating and forming), unloading the die to take out the pre-formed part, and then inspecting. However, the bending deformation of aluminum alloy extruded profiles and titanium alloy stringers belongs to plastic deformation of metal materials, and there is a springback phenomenon after the external force is removed.

[0003] Therefore, in the free state, the arc springback tends to increase the radius of curvature, which is inconsistent with the inspection profile template. In addition, on the one hand, it is inconvenient to manually shape the pre-bent formed part placed on the bending die; on the other hand, it is inconvenient to fix the long strip-shaped part. Therefore, it is necessary to design an auxiliary tool to shape the arc and eliminate the springback after pre-bending and forming. SUMMARY

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides an auxiliary tool for processing and shaping metal stringer parts to solve the springback problem of the stringer parts.

[0010] Specifically, the outer diameter of the screw thread of the screw rod 2 ranges from 10 to 20 mm, and the length of the screw rod 2 is greater than half the length of the bakelite rod; the surface of the screw thread of the screw rod 2 is coated with lubricant to improve the fastening force and prevent rusting due to air humidity after long-term use, thereby prolonging the effective use period.

[0011] Specifically, the outer side of the nut 3 is hexagonal; after the distance between the first and second bakelite rods is fixed, two nuts 3 matching the outer diameter of the screw rod 2 are taken out and placed between the two bakelite rods, then the screw rod 2 is inserted into the through hole 4 from one side and screwed into the two nuts 3 in the middle, and then the screw rod 2 is inserted into the through hole 4 from the other side.

[0012] Specifically, the length of the steel sleeve 6 is 2 / 3 of the length of the bakelite rod, and there is enough space for shaping the longeron part.

[0013] The embodiment of the application provides an auxiliary tool for processing and shaping a metal longeron part, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The distance between the two bakelite rods in the auxiliary tool can be adjusted according to the chord length of the arc, and the tool is flexible, universal, easy to operate, and has strong implementability; 2. When the two bakelite rods in the auxiliary tool are used to heat and shape the titanium alloy longeron, a steel pipe with an inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the titanium alloy longeron (with a gap) can be used to cover the titanium alloy longeron, so that the titanium alloy longeron can be heated and shaped by means of a flame torch, and the tool has the convenience of self-protection and the effective use period of the tool is prolonged; 3.
