Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a parts processing fixture, and more particularly to a machining fixture for the crossbeam of an aero-engine tail nozzle. Background Technology
[0002] A schematic diagram of the general structure of the tail nozzle crossbeam of an aircraft engine is attached to the instruction manual. Figure 6 As shown, the front view resembles a small boat. When machining the blank of the aircraft engine exhaust nozzle crossbeam, the main steps required are as shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 5 The holes a, b, c and d shown are machined, and the bosses also need to be milled. These machining operations are generally performed in a machining center.
[0003] To facilitate machining and ensure the machining accuracy of parts, the blanks of aero-engine exhaust nozzle crossbeams often need to be fixed in special fixtures. However, since aero-engine exhaust nozzle crossbeams are irregularly shaped parts with many machining surfaces, and the material of the machining surfaces is generally thin, their clamping, fixing, and anti-deformation support pose considerable challenges to the machining process.
[0004] The main technical problem in the current machining of aero-engine tail nozzle crossbeam blanks is the unreasonable design of the fixing fixture, which leads to inaccurate positioning, low clamping firmness, poor support, and the possibility of deformation, resulting in low machining accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0019] The second support column of this solution is connected to the base by a thread, and its height is adjustable, making it more flexible, more rationally designed, and more convenient to use.
[0020] Preferably, in the aforementioned aero-engine tail nozzle crossbeam machining fixture, two support columns are provided between the first centering clamp and the pressure plate, and the two support columns are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base length direction.
[0021] This solution improves the support effect, reduces processing deformation, and increases precision by setting two support columns to support the machining points at the end of the tail nozzle crossbeam.

[0025] 1. This utility model uses the second center clamp as the positioning point in the length direction, the support base, the first center clamp and the pressure plate as the longitudinal fixing points, and the first center clamp and the second center clamp as the lateral fastening and positioning points. The overall design is reasonable, the positioning accuracy is higher, and the clamping is more secure.

Detailed Implementation
[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0038] Embodiments of this utility model
[0039] A machining fixture for the crossbeam of an aircraft engine exhaust nozzle, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a base 1, and a first centering clamp 2 and a second centering clamp 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the base 1 along its length. The center lines of the first centering clamp 2 and the second centering clamp 3 coincide. The upper end surface of the first centering clamp 2 is higher than the upper end surface of the second centering clamp 3 and contacts the lower top surface of the tail nozzle crossbeam.
[0040] A support base 4 is provided between the first split clamp 2 and the second split clamp 3 on the side near the second split clamp 3. A pressure plate 5 is provided between the support base 4 and the first split clamp 2, which fits against the bottom of the inner cavity of the tail nozzle crossbeam. A fastening screw 6 is connected through the pressure plate 5 from top to bottom. A first threaded hole 7 that mates with the fastening screw 6 is provided on the base 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, when fixing the crossbeam 15 of the aircraft engine tail nozzle, firstly, the first split clamp 2 and the second split clamp 3 are separated outwards, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 The F-side shown is in close contact with the right side of the second centering clamp 3. The B-side and E-side are pressed onto the first centering clamp 2 and the support base 4, respectively. Then, the adjusting screws of the first centering clamp 2 and the second centering clamp 3 are rotated to clamp the tail nozzle crossbeam. During the clamping process, the tail nozzle crossbeam is prevented from moving to the right. Finally, the pressure plate 5 is pressed into the hollow bottom of the tail nozzle crossbeam, and the fastening screw 6 is screwed into the first threaded hole 7 and tightened to completely fix and position the tail nozzle crossbeam.
[0042] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, the first split clamp 2 has two support columns 8 on its outer side relative to the second split clamp 3, and the two support columns 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1 along its length. (See attached diagram) Figure 5 As shown, support column 8 rests on surface A of the tail nozzle crossbeam. Surface A is exactly the area of drill hole a. Supporting it can prevent deformation.
[0043] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, the lower section of the support column 8 is a threaded column, and the base 1 is provided with a second threaded hole 9 that mates with the support column 8. When the surface of the tail nozzle crossbeam 15A is uneven, causing the support height to change, the support column 8 can be rotated to adjust it to meet the support requirements.
[0044] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, the top of the support column 8 is provided with a recessed hole 14. The diameter of the recessed hole 14 is larger than the diameter of the drill hole a. At this time, even if the end of the drill bit exceeds the lower end face of the drill hole a, it will not cause damage to the support column 8.
[0045] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, two support columns 10 are provided between the support base 4 and the pressure plate 5, and the two support columns 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1 along its length. The support points of the support columns 10 are attached. Figure 5 As shown on surface D, the left side of this position is the machining point for borehole c. The strength near borehole c is enhanced by the support of support column 2 10 to prevent deformation.
[0046] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, the lower section of the second support column 10 is a threaded column, and the base 1 is provided with a third threaded hole 11 that mates with the second support column 10. Similarly, when the surface of surface D is uneven, causing the support height to change, the support height can be adjusted by rotating the second support column 10.
[0047] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, two support columns 12 are provided between the first dividing clamp 2 and the pressure plate 5, and the two support columns 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1 along its length. The support points of the support columns 12 are attached. Figure 5 As shown on surface C, the right side of this position is the machining point for borehole b. The strength near borehole b is enhanced by the support of support column 312 to prevent deformation.
[0048] Further implementation, for example, is attached. Figure 1-4 As shown, the lower section of the support column 12 is a threaded column, and the base 1 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 13 that mates with the support column 12. Similarly, when the surface of surface C is uneven, causing the support height to change, the support height can be adjusted by rotating the support column 12.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
