The invention discloses a reference hole arrangement method. The method comprises the steps of (S1) measuring the deformation of an assembled segment-mounted part through a
measuring instrument, (S2)dividing reference holes into two types which comprises (1) part
assembly position measurement reference holes for feeding back an actual
assembly position of a part and (2) part deformation measurement reference holes for feeding back the deformation condition of the part, and (S3) arranging the reference holes in the part according to an error allocated to a hole site correction link, wherein ahole error distributed to the hole site correction link through tolerance is
delta 0 when measured part maximum deformation is
delta max, the reference holes are only arranged in two ends of the partwhen the deformation of the part is small and a condition (
delta max) / (delta 0) is smaller than 1 is satisfied, the reference holes are arranged in the two ends of the part when a condition (delta max) / (delta 0) is larger than or equal to 1 is satisfied, and the reference holes for measuring the deformation of the part are arranged between the reference holes in the two ends. The reference hole arrangement method has the advantages that the actual
assembly condition of the part can be accurately reflected to an automatic
drilling system, the drilling hole position precision is improved, that corrected drilling hole positions meet a precision requirement is guaranteed, meanwhile, the number of the reference holes can be effectively reduced, the reference hole measurement complexity is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
