Background
For a certain type of aircraft engine nozzle part, two small holes with different axial directions need to be machined in the same axial section, and the axial directions of the two small holes form an included angle. Therefore, in the machining process, the fixed angle of the nozzle needs to be changed to enable the two small holes to be respectively arranged in the vertical direction for machining. In contrast, the conventional fixing methods for the electric discharge machine tool of the nozzle part mainly include the following three methods:
firstly, two sets of electric spark anchor clamps of direct design divide the twice process to process the part, put the vertical processing that carries out respectively with the parts machining position through two sets of different anchor clamps, and this fixed knot constructs can have following problem: (1) due to the existence of positioning errors of the clamp, the axes of two small holes machined after two times of clamping are not on the same plane, and the position precision between the two holes is low; (2) the time for clamping the part at one time is increased, so that the processing time is prolonged, and the processing efficiency is low.
Secondly, design a set of electric spark anchor clamps of taking the graduated disk, rotate two apertures respectively through rotatory graduated disk and process to vertical direction, realized the target that a clamping just can process two holes, nevertheless adopt this fixed knot to construct and can have following problem: (1) the clamp with the index plate has a complex structure, the matching precision requirement among all the parts is high, and the clamp is expensive; (2) because the precision requirement on the dividing plate is high, the dividing plate needs to be frequently rotated in the machining process, so that the dividing plate and the bolt are quickly abraded, the precision of the dividing plate is reduced, and the maintenance frequency and the maintenance cost of the clamp are high.
Thirdly, a set of special fixture which can support the nozzle part by different bearing surfaces is designed, and the special fixture is turned over to the bearing surfaces to enable the corresponding small holes on the nozzle part to be arranged along the vertical direction, but the fixing structure still has the following problems: (1) the processing process of each part needs to be aligned for many times, and due to the conversion of the bearing surfaces, when different small holes are processed, the corresponding guide sleeves need to be aligned, so that the processing efficiency is lower when the parts are processed in batches; (2) the problem that the positioning reference is not uniform exists, the positioning reference of the small holes at different positions of the nozzle has difference, and the axial direction of the processed small holes has deviation from the actual requirement.
