Description

[0002] In the field of aerospace, the cylindrical shell structure is widely used in the fuselage, engine cabin, rocket fuel tank and other key components of the aircraft. These cylindrical shells are usually made of high-strength aluminum alloy, titanium alloy and other materials, and have very high requirements for connection quality and precision, because they are directly related to the structural strength, air tightness and overall performance reliability of the aircraft.
[0003] The traditional drilling and riveting process of the cylindrical shell mostly relies on manual operation. Workers hold drilling and riveting tools and drill and countersink each rivet hole one by one, and then put in the rivet for riveting. This method has many drawbacks: first, manual operation cannot guarantee that the position accuracy of each rivet hole is completely consistent, and deviation may occur. As the size of the cylindrical shell increases, the cumulative error will seriously affect the product quality. Especially for aerospace products, small precision errors may cause safety hazards. Second, aerospace materials often have high strength and difficult to process. Long-time manual operation not only has high labor intensity, but also frequent high-intensity operation is easy to cause worker fatigue, further increasing the risk of operation errors. At the same time, workers frequently contact dust, debris and noise in the processing process, and the working environment is poor, which is not conducive to personnel health and long-term stable operation.

[0029] Working principle:
[0030] The cylindrical shell is placed on the clamping mechanism of the rotary table 3. The adjusting screw motor 15 of the adjusting mechanism drives the adjusting screw 14 to rotate, causing the slide block 16 to slide within the slide groove 301, so that the clamping mechanism moves to the appropriate position and accurately positions the cylindrical shell. Next, the drive motor 19 drives the bidirectional screw 18 to rotate, causing the inner arc-shaped clamping plate 20 and the outer arc-shaped clamping plate 21 to move towards each other, clamping the cylindrical shell. The sponge pads on the opposite sides of the clamping plates play a role in buffering and protecting the shell. Through the adjusting mechanism and the clamping mechanism, cylindrical shells with different inner diameters and wall thicknesses can be clamped and positioned.
[0031] The lifting screw motor 24 drives the lifting screw 23 to rotate, causing the lifting seat 25 to rise and fall along the lifting slide rail 22, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the U-shaped frame 4; the horizontal screw motor 28 on the U-shaped frame 4 drives the horizontal screw 27 to rotate, causing the horizontal moving seat 29 to move laterally along the horizontal slide rail 26, driving the L-shaped frame 5 and the extension mechanism to adjust the horizontal position of the drilling machine 8, the countersinking machine 9, and the riveting machine 10; three sets of electric telescopic rods 6 control the front and rear extension and retraction of the mounting seat 7, which, together with the horizontal displacement drive mechanism, causes the drilling machine 8, the countersinking machine 9, and the riveting machine 10 to process the cylindrical shell in sequence.
[0032] The rotary motor 11 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the ring rack 13 on the outer side wall of the rotary table 3 to rotate, causing the rotary table 3 to rotate. The cylindrical shell to be processed is then brought close to the L-shaped frame 5 in sequence. The drilling machine 8, the countersinking machine 9, and the riveting machine 10 work together to drill, countersink, and rivet all the preset parts of the cylindrical shell.
[0033] This utility model utilizes a rotary table 3 and a clamping mechanism to fix the cylindrical shell, and is equipped with an automated architecture for drilling, countersinking, and riveting equipment. Multiple drives work together for precise three-dimensional positioning, avoiding human error and ensuring that the accuracy of each rivet hole and connection part meets the standards.
