Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to nozzle straightening technical field, especially relates to straightening frock. BACKGROUND
[0002] The nozzle of jet engine is one of the key components of the engine, and the design and manufacturing precision thereof directly affect the performance of the engine, such as thrust, fuel efficiency, noise, etc. The nozzle is usually made of high-temperature alloy and needs to withstand extreme temperature and pressure. During the manufacturing process, the geometric shape deviation may be caused by thermal deformation or mechanical stress, at which time the design size needs to be restored through the straightening frock.
[0003] The nozzle has the characteristics of thin wall and multiple curvatures, such as convergent-divergent surface, and the straightening effect of complex geometric shape is uneven, the traditional rigid frock is difficult to apply force uniformly, and local excessive extrusion may cause buckling or wrinkling, while the area lacking support is insufficiently corrected, and needs to rely on manual intervention adjustment, which is poor in consistency. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at providing jet engine nozzle straightening frock to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is realized through the following technical scheme:
[0006] The jet engine nozzle straightening frock comprises a bottom plate, a fixing block for fixing the rear part of the nozzle of jet engine is arranged on the bottom plate, a main fixing plate is arranged at the front end of the upper part of the bottom plate;
[0007] The main fixing plate is provided with a main mounting hole for accommodating the front end of the nozzle of jet engine;
[0008] A front straightening mechanism is arranged in front of the main fixing plate;
[0009] The front straightening mechanism comprises a positioning plate and a movable plate;
[0010] The positioning plate and the movable plate are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the front side of the main mounting hole;
[0011] The movable plate comprises an extrusion part arranged on the front side of the main fixing plate, and a locking part is vertically arranged on the side of the extrusion part away from the nozzle of jet engine;
[0012] A screw hole is arranged on the locking part, and a locking bolt is horizontally assembled in the screw hole;
[0013] The movable plate is adjusted in relative position through the cooperation of the locking bolt and the main fixing plate;
[0014] A secondary fixing plate is arranged on the front side of the front straightening mechanism, and the main fixing plate and the secondary fixing plate are detachably connected through fastening bolts.
[0015] The auxiliary mounting hole on the auxiliary fixed plate accommodates the front end of the front part of the jet engine nozzle;
[0016] The extrusion part is provided with a bolt hole for avoiding the fastening bolt.
[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, the main mounting hole fixes the rear part of the front part of the nozzle, and the auxiliary mounting hole fixes the front end of the front part, forming an axial constraint system to avoid stress concentration caused by overall rigid clamping. The two are arranged apart from each other, and the front straightening mechanism is located between the main fixed plate and the auxiliary fixed plate. The intermediate position of the positioning plate responsible for extrusion straightening and the movable plate straightening nozzle front part cooperates with the extrusion part of the movable plate to form a progressive force applying mechanism. The operator can control the straightening force by torque to avoid the instantaneous overload caused by traditional hammer straightening. The bolt hole design ensures that the fastening bolt and the straightening mechanism do not interfere with each other. The side of the bolt hole close to the nozzle is open. In order to facilitate the approach from the direction away from the nozzle, the fastening bolt is avoided in this process, realizing the parallel operation of straightening and fixing. At the same time, the bolt hole itself also plays a limiting role. When tightened to the mechanical stop position, the distance between the positioning plate and the extrusion part is not greater than the design width of the jet engine nozzle. Through the mounting holes on the main fixed plate and the auxiliary fixed plate, uniform force is applied to the complex geometric shape, avoiding excessive extrusion in local area, so that the part to be straightened is fully supported without relying on manual adjustment, and the consistency is good.
[0018] In further embodiments, the upper rear end of the bottom plate is vertically provided with a support plate;

The setting of the upper mounting plate enables the straightening tool to simultaneously constrain and straighten the large end and the small end of the nozzle, improving the comprehensiveness and precision of straightening.
[0024] In further embodiments, the upper straightening mechanism includes a tightening part and a pressing part;
[0025] A gasket is coaxially arranged above the upper mounting hole, and a tightening portion is arranged above the gasket;
[0026] The tightening portion and the pressing portion are fixedly connected through a bolt;
[0027] A slope corresponding to the small end of the jet engine nozzle is arranged below the pressing portion.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the gasket disperses the pressure of the tightening portion, avoiding local stress damage to the nozzle surface. The tightening portion is connected to the pressing portion through a bolt, forming an adjustable pressing force. The design of the slope makes the contact between the pressing portion and the small end of the nozzle more conformable, and applies uniform radial force, avoiding deformation or scratches caused by point contact. At the same time, different tightening portions are replaced, and the slope can adapt to the small end of the nozzle at different angles, improving the versatility of the tooling.
[0029] In further embodiments, the positioning plate is an L-shaped plate, and the top of the L-shaped plate supports the upper mounting plate.
[0030] The inner bent side of the L-shaped plate cooperates with the extrusion portion to press the jet engine nozzle.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the L-shaped plate supports the upper mounting plate, enhancing the stability of the upper mounting plate and avoiding shaking of the upper mounting plate during the straightening process. The inner bent side of the L-shaped plate cooperates with the extrusion portion to form a clamping space, which can simultaneously straighten the lateral and radial directions of the nozzle, improving the efficiency and effect of straightening. The L-shaped structure also facilitates installation and disassembly, simplifying the operation process.
[0032] In further embodiments, the rear side of the main fixed plate is provided with a supporting mechanism.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting mechanism can assist in supporting the rear part of the nozzle, avoiding drooping or deviation of the nozzle during the straightening process. The supporting mechanism cooperates with the main fixed plate to form a multi-point support system, further improving the stability and precision of straightening. At the same time, the supporting mechanism can be adjusted according to different models of nozzles, enhancing the adaptability of the tooling.
[0034] In further embodiments, the hole diameter of the main mounting hole is larger than the hole diameter of the auxiliary mounting hole.
[0035] By adopting the technical scheme, the different hole diameters of the main mounting hole and the auxiliary mounting hole can adapt to the gradually changing diameter of the front part of the nozzle, the larger hole diameter of the main mounting hole facilitates the preliminary positioning and installation of the nozzle, and the smaller hole diameter of the auxiliary mounting hole provides more accurate fixing, so that the axial sliding of the nozzle during the straightening process is avoided, the segmented hole diameter design makes the straightening force distribution more reasonable, and the local stress that is too large to cause the deformation of the nozzle is avoided.
