Description

Large-diameter and large-thickness hole finishing equipment and method TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of machining equipment, and particularly relates to a large-diameter and large-thickness hole finishing equipment and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composite materials (CFRP) and alternating load-resistant metal materials (such as titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, etc.) are preferred for weight reduction and efficiency improvement of high-end aerospace equipment. To ensure high-reliability assembly and high-performance service of CFRP and laminated structures, thousands of high-precision and high-surface-quality connecting holes need to be efficiently machined. Since the hole making process is usually carried out on site, it is limited by space, and traditional numerical control machine tools and industrial robot arms have poor accessibility and are difficult to apply. If necessary, manual and hand-operated machining methods are used, and the feed speed and perpendicularity during drilling need to be controlled depending on the experience of workers, which makes it difficult to ensure the stability of hole making precision. Moreover, when the hole diameter is too large or high-strength materials such as titanium alloy are drilled, the excessive axial force makes it impossible for workers to manually feed, which is low in efficiency and difficult to ensure the machining quality. Therefore, large-load and high-precision automatic feed drilling equipment needs to be applied to aerospace drilling to realize the working conditions that cannot be completed manually.

[0003] Foreign research on automatic hole finishing equipment has been carried out early, and there are many automatic feed drilling products on the market. For example, the AFD drill of Desoutter Company in France adopts a pneumatic motor driving mode, and the power is output to the spindle through gear transmission to realize fixed rotational speed and feed speed. The entire mechanism is driven by a pure mechanical method, which is high in reliability. However, the spindle is provided with a guide drill sleeve, the diameter of the drill is limited by the inner diameter of the guide sleeve, and the drill cannot be clamped, which makes it difficult to meet the demand for large hole drilling. Ge Zhen-tao et al. of Qingdao Front Guard Pneumatic Tool Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. invented a rotary offset head automatic feed drilling device, with a patent number of CN201920069233.5. The device adopts a pneumatic motor, a two-stage speed reducer, a feed mechanism and an offset head to realize automatic drilling, reaming and reaming in a narrow space. The transmission shaft is connected with the gear box through threads, and the output gear is connected with the drill bit through threads. However, the torque generated by the transmission is small, the stability of the drill bit is low, and the machining capacity is weak, which limits its application in large hole machining. Yang Xin-liang et al. of China Aviation General Technology and Trading Co., Ltd. South China Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. invented a machining device for aircraft wing-body connecting holes, with a patent number of ZL202223047466.6. The device includes an automatic feed drill, a drill jig and a boring tool. The two ends of the boring tool are connected with the automatic feed drill and the drill guide hole, respectively. The automatic feed drill and the drill guide hole are combined to select appropriate rotational speed and feed speed for machining. The spindle is provided with a drill sleeve. During the drilling process, the drill bit has a large jumping range, and the work is easily affected by the chips, which is not conducive to the stable work of the spindle.

[0004] In summary, in order to meet the requirements of lightweight, stability and precision of the large hole drilling equipment in the aerospace assembly site, a large-diameter and large-thickness hole finishing equipment and method with more simple and reliable, large torque and high precision are needed to be developed.
