The present disclosure relates to the technical field of hole machining in assembly of aerospace vehicles, in particular to a portable helical milling unit and an eccentric adjustment method.
Difficult-to-machine materials including composite materials, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys and high-strength steel, as well as different forms of laminated structures composed of at least two materials, are widely used in aerospace vehicles. There are a lot of requirements for hole machining in assembly process of aircraft components. A new hole machining method is to use a special end mill for helical milling, with a principle that the tool rotates on it axis at a high speed while feeds along the helical path, so that a circular hole with a diameter larger than the tool is machined on the workpiece. For the hole machining of new-type materials including composite materials and titanium alloys, because the axial cutting force of the helical milling is smaller than that of drilling, helical milling is superior to traditional drilling. Helical milling is applied to aircraft assembly instead of traditional drilling to machine some holes with high quality requirements, such as bolt holes and rivet holes. The application scope of helical milling is expanding. The tool needs to feed along the helical path during helical milling whereas the existing hole machining device usually does not have this function. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a special helical milling equipment. However, there are some problems of the current helical milling device: (1) the overall size of the helical milling device is large and heavy, which is not suitable for helical milling under complex space conditions; (2) the helical milling device has complex structure and high cost, which is not suitable for batch manufacturing; (3) the main processing object of the existing helical milling device is small aperture (with a diameter of no more than 20 mm) without pre-hole; for the reaming process of the large-diameter intersection hole (with a maximum diameter of more than 28 mm) with pre-hole, the processing equipment needs to have greater power and structural stiffness, which increases the design difficulty. Different from traditional drilling, the processing aperture of helical milling not only depends on the diameter of the tool, but also directly relates to the eccentricity of the tool. The processing aperture of the helical milling is equal to the diameter plus twice the eccentricity of the tool. The existing helical milling device usually adopts a dual eccentric sleeve to adjust the eccentricity, and the eccentricities of the inner and outer sleeves cannot be changed. The eccentricity adjustment range has been determined after the device is manufactured. However, regardless of the eccentricity adjustment range, the eccentricity of the tool is changed by changing the relative rotational angle between the inner and outer sleeves during operation, and the eccentricity is changed from the minimum value to the maximum value during the relative rotation by 180 degrees between the inner and outer sleeves. When the eccentricity adjustment range is large, the eccentricity will change greatly if the inner and outer sleeves relatively rotate a small angle. It is difficult to realize a micro eccentricity adjustment so as to affect the eccentricity adjustment accuracy. When the eccentricity adjustment range is small, it is necessary to relatively rotate the inner and outer sleeves a larger angle to change the eccentricity by the same value, which makes it easier to realize the micro eccentricity adjustment and improve the eccentricity adjustment accuracy. However, due to the small eccentricity adjustment range, the aperture range processed by the helical milling device is also reduced accordingly. Therefore, for the eccentricity adjustment method of the existing helical milling device, it is contradictory to improve the eccentricity adjustment accuracy and increase the adjustment range, and it is difficult to achieve both at the same time. The main difficulties of the eccentricity adjustment of the existing helical milling device include that: (1) inaccurate adjustment of eccentricity will result to unqualified machining aperture. In order to process a qualified hole, the helical milling device should adjust the eccentricity to a small enough error with the theoretical value through the eccentricity adjustment mechanism to ensure that the actual machining aperture is qualified. (2) If the variation range of the machining aperture is large, it is necessary to ensure that the eccentricity adjustment range is large enough. Otherwise, during the machining process, tools with different diameters need to be replaced to meet the machining requirements of different apertures, which reduces the machining efficiency and increases the cost. Therefore, the design difficulty of the helical milling device is to ensure that the eccentricity has a large enough adjustment range and a high enough adjustment accuracy.

The present disclosure provides a portable helical milling unit including a tool 2, an eccentric spindle 1, an outer sleeve 12, a sleeve housing 14, and a plurality of transmission mechanisms for providing power. The eccentric spindle 1 is detachably sleeved in an inner hole of output section of the outer sleeve 12. Each of the eccentric spindle 1 and the outer sleeve 12 has a pre-set eccentricity. The tool 2 is in connection with the output side of the eccentric spindle 1. The eccentric spindle 1 is detachably connected in the outer sleeve 12. The outer sleeve 12 is installed in the sleeve housing 14 through a sliding bearing 13. An input side of the outer sleeve 12 is in connection with a first transmission mechanism and a third transmission mechanism, and an input side of the eccentric spindle 1 is in connection with a second transmission mechanism. The third transmission mechanism is used to drive the outer sleeve 12 to rotate relative to the outer sleeve housing 14 to enable the tool 2 to rotate around the axis of the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 12. The first transmission mechanism is used to drive the outer sleeve 12 to move back and forth relative to the axis direction of the sleeve housing 14 to achieve the feed motion of the tool 2. The second transmission mechanism is used to drive the eccentric spindle 1 to rotate so as to rotate the tool 2.
The output section of the outer sleeve 12 is an eccentric structure, i.e., the axis of the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve has a certain eccentricity e0 with the axis of the inner hole of the output section of the outer sleeve 14. The middle section and the input section of the outer sleeve are concentric, i.e., the axis of the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve is concentric with the axes of the inner holes of the middle section and the input section of the outer sleeve 12.
The structure of the eccentric spindle 1 has three solutions as follows:
For solution M1 as shown in
For solution M2 as shown in
For solution M3 as shown in
The first transmission mechanism includes a first motor 15 and a lead screw 18. The first motor 15 is horizontally installed on the sleeve housing 14. The output end of the first motor 15 is in connection with the lead screw 18 through a lead screw coupling 16. One end of the lead screw 18 is installed in a mounting hole of a lead screw support base 17, and the other end is sleeved in a lead screw nut 22.
The lead screw support base 17 is horizontally installed on the sleeve housing 14, and the lead screw nut 22 is installed on a translational plate 20.

The third transmission mechanism includes a third motor 32 and a first synchronous cog belt, the input end of the outer sleeve 12 is installed with a third synchronous cog belt wheel 26. The third synchronous cog belt wheel 26 is in connection with a fourth synchronous cog belt wheel 27 installed at the output end of the third motor 32 through the first synchronous cog belt.
The outer side of the input section of the outer sleeve 12 is in connection with the translational plate 20 through a revolution bearing 30.
The second motor 19 and the third motor 32 are installed on the translational plate 20. The input end of the transmission shaft 28 is installed with the second synchronous cog belt wheel 25 which is in connection with the first synchronous cog belt wheel 24 installed on the output end of the second motor 19 through the second synchronous cog belt.
The second transmission mechanism further includes an encoder 23 for measuring a rotational speed of the spindle 5. The encoder 23 is installed at the output end of the second motor 19 or the output end of the transmission shaft 28. The housing of the encoder 23 is fixed on the translational plate 20 through an encoder support base 21.
The transmission shaft 28 is installed at the input section of the outer sleeve 12 through a transmission bearing 29. A circular shaft of the output end of the transmission shaft 28 is in connection with the input end of a universal joint coupling 35 through a key joint, and the output end of the universal joint coupling 35 is in connection with the input end of the spindle 5. The universal joint coupling 35 is a double cross-shaft universal joint coupling and located in the inner hole of the middle section of the outer sleeve 12. This structure makes the two shafts not on the same axis, and can realize continuous rotation of the two linked shafts in the case of axis offset and reliably transmit torque and motion.

An outer side of the output end of the sleeve housing 14 is fixed to the housing 36 through a flange, and both sides of the housing are installed with handles 34.
The front side of the flange is fixed with a positioning shaft sleeve 38.
The working principle of the revolution motion of the portable helical milling unit is as follows: the third motor 32 drives the outer sleeve 12 to rotate relative to the sleeve housing 14 and the translational plate 20 by the synchronous cog belt wheel and the cog belt, so as to drive the inner sleeve 9 to rotate; when the outer sleeve 12 and the inner sleeve 9 are relatively stationary, the eccentricity e of the tool 2 relative to the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 12 keeps constant to realize the revolution motion of the tool 2.
The working principle of the feed motion of the portable helical milling unit is as follows: the first motor 15 drives the translational plate 20 to move along the axis direction through the lead screw 18 so as to drive the outer sleeve 12 to move along the axis direction relative to the sleeve housing 14 to realize the axial feed motion of the tool 2.
During the process of the second motor 19 driving the transmission shaft 28 to rotate, the position of the axis of the transmission shaft 28 remains unchanged when the third motor 32 drives the outer sleeve 12 to rotate, which is convenient for the second motor 19 to transmit power to the transmission shaft 28 through the synchronous cog belt wheel.

The encoder 23 detects the real-time rotational speed of the tool 2.
As for the solution M2, the second motor 19 drives the transmission shaft 28 to rotate through the synchronous cog belt wheel and the cog belt, and the transmission shaft 28 concentric with the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 12 transmits power to the spindle 5 eccentric with the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 12 through the universal joint coupling 35, so as to drive the first gear 6 at the front end of the spindle 5 to rotate, and the first gear 6 drives the second gear 7 to rotate through meshing to realize the rotation of the tool 2 at the front end of the second gear 7. The encoder 23 detects the real-time rotational speed of the spindle 5.

The encoder 23 detects the real-time rotational speed of the spindle 5.
The working principle of the eccentricity adjustment of the portable helical milling unit is as follows:
As shown in
The helical milling unit is equipped with a plurality of eccentric spindles 1 having different specifications, i.e., the eccentric spindles 1 have different eccentricities en from each other. According to the size of the eccentricity to be adjusted, en is changed by replacing the eccentric spindle 1 with different specifications to roughly adjust the eccentricity. The outer circumferential surface of the front end of the eccentric spindle 1 is engraved with an eccentricity adjustment scale ring. Rotate the eccentric spindle 1 to produce a relative rotation between the eccentric spindle 1 and the outer sleeve 12, i.e., to change the relative position of the eccentric spindle 1 and the outer sleeve 12. Adjust the scale ring, i.e., adjust the relative angle θ between the outer sleeve 12 and the eccentric spindle 1 to finely adjust the eccentricity, so that the eccentricity e of the tool 2 relative to the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 12 is changed so as to obtain different eccentricities e of the tool 2, e=√{square root over (e02+en2−2e0en cos(θ))}, wherein the value range of e is |en−e0|≤e≤|en+e0|. After completion of the angle adjustment, the eccentric spindle 1 and the outer sleeve 12 are fixed.

Based on a maximum resolution ratio of a scale line of a dial size on a scale ring of the eccentric spindle 1, a corresponding eccentricity adjustment range value em within a maximum measuring range of the scale ring of an eccentric spindle 1 is determined, and the eccentricity e0 of the outer sleeve 12 is determined and satisfies e0≤em/2;
S12. According to processing requirements including a type and a diameter range of the tool 2 to-be-used and an aperture range of the hole to-be-processed, the eccentricity adjustment range ex to ey of the helical milling unit is determined;
S13. A minimum number n of the equipped eccentric spindles 1 is determined that
(n takes an integer upwards);
S14. According to the eccentricity adjustment range ex to ey determined in step S12 and the number n of the eccentric spindles 1 calculated in step S13, the adjustment eccentricity range ea to eb corresponding to the n eccentric spindles 1 is determined and satisfies ea˜eb∈ex˜ey, that is, [|e1−e0|,|e1+e0|]∩[|e2−e0|,|e2+e0|]∩ . . . ∩[|en−e0|,|en+e0|]∈[ex,ey];
S15. According to the eccentricity e0 of the outer sleeve 12 determined in step S11 and the adjustment eccentricity range ea to eb corresponding to the n eccentric spindles 1 determined in step S14 (i.e., |e1−e0| to +e0|,|e2−e0| to |e2+e0|, . . . |en−e0| to |en+e0|), the eccentricities of then eccentric spindles 1 are determined to be en(e1, e2 . . . en);
The adjustment solutions of M2 and M3 are basically the same as that of M1. As for the solution M2, the eccentricity adjustment method includes the following steps that:
The helical milling unit is equipped with a plurality of eccentric spindles having different specifications, i.e., the models of the first gear and the second gear of different eccentric spindles are different, which results in different distances en between axes of the first gear and the second gear. According to the size of the eccentricity to be adjusted, the distance en between axes is changed by replacing the eccentric spindle with different specifications to roughly adjust the eccentricity. By rotating the eccentric spindle to enable it to rotate relative to the outer sleeve, the relative angle θ between the outer sleeve and the eccentric spindle is adjusted to finely adjust the eccentricity so as to change the eccentricity e of the tool relative to the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve, so that different eccentricities of the helical milling unit are obtained to be e=√{square root over (e02+en2−2e0en cos(θ))}, and the value range of e is |en−e0|≤e≤|en+e0|.
