Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature alloy processing technology, specifically to a tooling for contour machining of thin-walled irregular ring parts. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature alloys face significant cutting forces during machining, approximately 30% higher than those for commonly used steels, making machining more challenging. This difficulty is exacerbated when machining complex shapes. For instance, a ring-shaped part with an S-shaped cross-section, thin walls, and a large diameter is prone to uneven stress during machining, leading to deformation.

[0003] Currently, traditional tooling for machining such parts typically requires changing to a different type of tooling base, making it difficult to complete machining of all surfaces in a single clamping state. Therefore, changing tooling wastes time, increases the workload of operators, and extends manufacturing time. Furthermore, there is currently no suitable tooling in the machining tooling field capable of simultaneously clamping such parts from multiple angles. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a tooling for contour machining of thin-walled irregularly shaped ring parts.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A tooling for contouring thin-walled irregular ring parts includes a tooling base and a plurality of limiting members arranged around the upper surface of the tooling base.

[0007] The limiting component includes a limiting bolt and a limiting plate. The limiting bolt passes through a threaded hole on the limiting plate and is then connected to the internal thread of the tooling base.

[0008] The tooling base has a groove around its bottom outer end face.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting member is disposed on a positioning plate provided on the upper surface of the tooling base.

[0010] Note: Each limiting component is fixed by a positioning plate.

[0011] Furthermore, there are a total of 10 to 15 limiting members.

[0012] Note: By optimizing the number of limiting components, a better limiting effect and uniform clamping force can be ensured.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting plate is divided into two parts: a front plate and a rear plate. The threaded hole is located on the rear plate, and the rear end of the front plate is provided with a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the threaded groove provided in the middle of the front end of the rear plate.

[0014] Note: The position of the front plate can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod, thereby enabling the clamping of parts of different sizes.

[0015] Furthermore, the depth of the groove is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the height of the tooling base, and the width of the groove is 1 / 10 to 1 / 8 of the radius of the tooling base.

[0016] Note: The depth and width of the groove are based on the shape of the part to be processed, but should be controlled within a reasonable range.

[0017] Furthermore, a ring of positioning holes is provided at the outer edge of the tooling base, and the number of positioning holes is 10 to 20.

[0018] Note: The positioning holes are used to keep the tooling base fixed and stable.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] (1) The thin-walled irregular ring part contouring machining fixture of this utility model is designed with two-stage precision milling contouring fixture to process the “S” surface of the part in stages. After the part is rough turned, rough turned outer surface and rough turned inner surface to obtain the rough machined part, the outer surface is first precision turned by the forward clamping method. Then the part is clamped to the groove of the part on the back of the base and the inner surface is processed by the reverse clamping method, so as to achieve the purpose of processing the S-shaped surface and preventing the part from deforming.

[0021] (2) The thin-walled irregular ring part contouring tooling of this utility model optimizes the structure of the limiting part, so that when the outer surface is precision machined by the forward clamping method, the appropriate clamping position can be selected according to the different internal lengths of the part. The length adjustable limiting plate can fix the part on the upper surface of the tooling base or the positioning plate. Attached Figure Description

[0036] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the limiting component 2 includes a limiting bolt 21 and a limiting plate 22. The limiting bolt 21 passes through the threaded hole 23 on the limiting plate 22 and is threadedly connected to the inside of the tooling base 1.

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0054] Experimental Example

[0055] The working principle of the tooling of this utility model will be briefly explained below using the actual machining steps of the workpiece as an experimental example.

[0056] The drawing of the part to be processed is as follows Figure 7 As shown, the annular surface is S-shaped, with an outer radius of only 6mm and an inner radius of only 4.5mm at the bend. The difficulty in machining the S-shaped irregular surface lies in its complexity. Due to its wall thickness of only 2mm and a maximum diameter of 750mm, the part is large and thin-walled, making it extremely prone to deformation under stress during machining.

[0057] We denote the machining of the outer end face as step A, during which the part is clamped using limiter 2. The machining of the inner end face is denoteed as step B, during which the part is fixed using groove 11. After upsetting and punching, the bar stock undergoes three rounds of ring rolling to obtain a forging with dimensions of Φ700×Φ670×140mm. Rough turning then creates a base for easy clamping. Figure 8 As shown, the outer profile and inner profile are obtained by rough machining. Figure 9 The rough-machined surface is shown.

[0058] First, clamp the part onto the production surface of tooling A. Then, rotate the limiting bolt 21 to raise it, placing the bottom of the part's inner end face below each limiting plate 22. Adjust the length of the front end plate 221 extending beyond the rear end plate 222 as needed, rotating it a multiple of 360° to ensure the front end plate 221 is parallel to the rear end plate 222. Then, rotate the limiting bolt 21 in the opposite direction to press the limiting plates 22 down, maintaining the clamping of the part. Finally, precision machine the outer surface, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the wall thickness of the part is 4mm at this time.

[0059] Then, the fixture base 1 is inverted and fixed through the positioning hole 13. Each limiting bolt 21 is screwed until it is flush with the limiting plate 22. The part is then clamped onto the production surface of fixture B for internal surface finishing. At this time, the groove 11 of the fixture base 1 conforms to the shape of the part, supporting it and preventing deformation during tooling. After finishing, the part wall thickness is 2mm, resulting in an S-shaped machined surface, as shown below. Figure 11 As shown.
