Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casing processing technology, specifically to tooling for processing thin-walled casings. Background Technology

[0002] In aero engines, the casing is a key component that bears the load and contains the engine. It is a typical thin-walled structure, and its materials are mostly high-temperature resistant and difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys. Therefore, the casing manufacturing process is very complex and difficult.

[0003] Currently, when milling the outer shape of the casing, the casing is usually only clamped and positioned, without any support for the inner and outer walls. Therefore, the casing is very prone to deformation during the milling process. Utility Model Content

[0030] Working principle of this utility model:

[0031] First, the thin-walled casing is placed on the fixed frame 2. When the moving rod 15 moves towards the sleeve 13, the pair of rotating shafts move away from each other. The movement stops at a suitable position. The limiting shaft 14 passes through the side wall of the sleeve 13 and enters the limiting hole 16 on the moving rod 15. The first rotating block 5 and the second rotating block 9 move with the first rotating shaft 4 and the second rotating shaft 8. The first rotating block 5 can drive the first abutment 7 on the first connecting plate 6 to abut against the inner wall of the thin-walled casing. The second rotating block 9 can drive the second abutment 11 on the second connecting plate 10 to abut against the inner wall of the thin-walled casing. The connecting rod 12 stabilizes the first rotating shaft 4 and the second rotating shaft 8 during rotation. The first abutment 7 and the second abutment 11 support the inner wall of the thin-walled casing to prevent deformation during processing. When the outer wall of the thin-walled casing needs to be fixed, the rotating plate 18 is rotated. The rotating plate 18 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate on the base frame 1, and the rotating gear 21 rotates accordingly. When shaft 17 rotates, the first rack 24 and the second rack 27 approach each other under the action of the rotating gear 21. The first rack 24 and the second rack 27 can respectively drive the first sliding frame 23 and the second sliding frame 26 to slide on the first guide rail 22 and the second guide rail 25. The first clamping frame 28 and the second clamping frame 29 move with the first sliding frame 23 and the second sliding frame 26 to clamp and fix the outer wall of the thin-walled casing. The clamping shaft 20 rotates with the rotating plate 18 and stops at a predetermined position. The clamping shaft 20 passes through the side wall of the rotating plate 18 and enters the clamping hole 19 on the base frame 1, thereby fixing the rotating shaft 17 and fixing the first clamping frame 28 and the second clamping frame 29 to prevent them from loosening during the clamping process. The first clamping frame 28 and the second clamping frame 29, together with the first abutment 7 and the second abutment 11, can fix the inner and outer walls of the thin-walled casing to prevent deformation during processing and make it more stable during processing.
