The invention discloses a three-axis numerically-controlled milling
machine milling method and device for a semi-
open type impeller of variable-cross-section twisted blades. The method comprises the following steps that 1, a three-dimensional model of the semi-
open type impeller is made through
software (Solidworks) and stored in the IGS format, and UG4.0 is introduced for
programming; 2,
machining before milling is conducted on a
forge piece through a lathe; 3, the piece obtained through
machining before milling is vertically placed on a milling
machine workbench in the mode that the piece is axially parallel to the Z-axis direction of a milling
machine and the shaft disc surface is upward and then unloaded after an
equilateral polygon of which the edge number is equal to the number of the blades is milled, and a
central spindle and a connecting disc are installed and then fixed after being leveled and aligned; 4, a first program and a second program are introduced for
machining; 5, a blank obtained through the first program and the second program is fixed to an indexing disc through the connecting disc, leveling and aligning are conducted through an
impeller chuck, the indexing disc and the
equilateral polygon arranged on a shaft disc, and machining achieved through a third program is completed; 6, a reserved technological face of the shaft disc and the technological chuck are removed, and then impeller machining is completed. Compared with a method for machining the semi-
open type impeller through a five-axis milling machine, the milling method has the advantages that the machining cost is greatly reduced while the machining precision is guaranteed.
