Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and fixture technology, and in particular to a tooling and fixture for milling holes in a semi-circular guide tube. Background Technology

[0002] Metal conduits play a crucial role in aero-engines, used to transport media such as fuel, lubricating oil, oxygen, and compressed air. The manufacturing technology for conduits imposes stringent acceptance standards on aspects such as surface quality, dimensional tolerances, and geometric tolerances.

[0003] Semi-ring conduit products require small holes to be machined at angles on the conduit wall. Accurate positioning and secure clamping are necessary before milling these holes using a five-axis machining center. Traditionally, a groove is milled into the base plate, and the product is placed into the groove and pressed. Due to individual product variations, placing the product into the groove is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Deformation and slight rotation can easily occur during clamping, leading to inaccurate positioning and significant hole deviations after clamping. Poor clamping force can also cause surface damage and deformation of the conduit, resulting in defective products.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, it is necessary to study and design a new type of tooling fixture for milling holes in semi-circular guide tubes, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The existing technology addresses the technical problems of surface damage and deformation of semi-circular guide tubes due to individual differences in the guide tubes, which can easily lead to significant hole position deviations and defective products if the clamping force is not properly controlled. This invention provides a tooling fixture for milling holes in semi-circular guide tubes. This utility model primarily utilizes a pressure plate and a conforming plate to circumferentially press the semi-circular guide tube, ignoring individual deviations generated during product forming. The clamping plates act as a shaping element during pressing, and their conforming design ensures a sufficiently large contact area with the product. This eliminates the need for special control of clamping force during pressing, preventing damage and deformation risks. The fixture ensures perfect conformity between the product and the product, resulting in high-precision hole positions, stable positional tolerances, convenient operation, and reduced preparation time.

[0006] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0007] A tooling fixture for milling holes in a semi-circular guide tube includes: a shaped plate, a pressure plate, and a base plate;

[0008] Furthermore, the symbol plate is an arc-shaped plate structure, which is assembled onto the base plate by fixing pins and internal hexagon screws;

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure plate is evenly distributed on the arc-shaped side of the shaped plate by positioning pins, fixing the semi-circular conduit between the two and positioning the semi-circular conduit.

[0010] Furthermore, the shaped plate has an arc-shaped plate structure with semi-circular grooves machined on its arc-shaped sides, which are used to clamp and position the semi-circular guide tube in conjunction with the pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the pressure plate closest to the symbol plate is machined with an arc-shaped concave edge that matches the symbol plate;

[0012] Furthermore, a semi-circular groove is machined on the concave side of the arc, which, together with the semi-circular groove on the arc side of the shaped plate, forms a near-circular structure for tightening and positioning the semi-circular guide tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the curved edge of the shaped plate is machined with recessed milling slots for milling holes in the semi-circular guide tube;

[0014] Furthermore, the milled slot is located at the middle of the mating edge between the shaped plate and the pressure plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a milling slot is machined in the middle of the concave side of the pressure plate, which cooperates with the milling slot on the shaped plate to mill the semi-circular guide tube.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting plate is machined at one end of the arc-shaped side of the shaped plate to limit the end of the semi-circular conduit.

[0017] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0018] First, the shaped plate is assembled onto the base plate using fixing pins and hex socket screws. Then, a semi-circular guide tube is installed in the semi-circular groove on the arc edge of the shaped plate. The front end of the semi-circular guide tube rests against the limiting plate to limit the position of the semi-circular guide tube.

[0019] Then, press the pressure plate from the outside towards the arc edge of the shaped plate. The semi-circular guide tube is pressed by the pressure plate and the semi-circular groove on the shaped plate. After pressing, the pressure plate is positioned by the positioning pin.

[0020] Third, after assembly, mill the semi-circular guide tubes exposed in the milling slots on the pressure plate and the shaped plate;

[0021] Finally, remove the pressure plate and take out the milled semi-circular guide tube before proceeding to the next milling operation.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The tooling fixture for milling holes in semi-circular guide tubes provided by this utility model uses the pressure plate and the semi-circular groove on the shaped plate to press and position the semi-circular guide tube. Individual deviations generated during product forming can be ignored. It plays a shaping role during pressing. Moreover, the clamping surfaces are all shaped and have a large enough contact area with the product. There is no need to specially control the clamping force during pressing, and there is no risk of pressure damage or deformation.

[0024] 2. The tooling fixture provided by this utility model for milling holes in semi-circular guide tubes will press the semi-circular guide tubes circumferentially, so that the product and the tooling are perfectly matched. The machined holes have high positional accuracy, stable positional tolerance, convenient operation and save preparation time.

[0025] 3. The tooling fixture for milling holes in semi-circular guide tubes provided by this utility model can fit tightly with the surface of the semi-circular guide tube, correct individual deviations in shape, provide accurate positioning, and is simple to operate, highly efficient, and practical.

[0026] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problem in the prior art where, due to individual differences in round tubes, poor control of clamping force easily leads to surface damage and deformation of the guide tube, large hole position deviations, and the easy occurrence of defective products.
