Принадлежит: Акционерное общество (АО) "Научно-исследовательский институт "Лопастных машин" ("НИИ ЛМ")

Полезная модель относится к машиностроению, а именно к соединениям охватывающих и охватываемых деталей и может быть использована в устройствах для их соединения по посадочным поверхностям с натягами или малыми зазорами.В отверстии 1 с диаметром Д охватывающей детали 2 (далее охватывающая деталь именуется диском 2) выполнены продольные канавки 3 в виде участков поверхности вращения 4, например, цилиндрической поверхности 5 с радиусом R, образующие продольные выступы 6.В охватываемой детали 7 (далее охватываемая деталь именуется валом 7) выполнены выступы 8 с наружным диаметром Д, по которому обе детали установлены с натягом. Причем на валу выступы 8 образованы лысками 9 в виде плоскостей 10, выполненных по обе стороны относительно каждого выступа 8.При сборке соединения на начальной стадии диск надевают на вал, предварительно установив их так, чтобы выступы диска размещались напротив лысок вала и передвигают диск по валу до занятия диском нужного положения, а затем, прикладывая крутящий момент к диску и валу (для чего необходимы лыски на валу), проворачивают диск до совмещения вершин выступов 6 втулки 2 диска и выступов вала 8. В результате образуется соединение с натягом.Применение канавок в диске в виде участков поверхностей вращения позволит по сравнению с известным техническим решением легко изготовить выступы в диске:а) на фрезерных станках;б) на шлифовальных станках;в) вручную с помощью абразивного круга и пневмодрели.Применение вала с лысками позволит легко изготовить выступы на валу:а) на фрезерных станках;б) на шлифовальных станках;в) вручную напильником или с помощью абразивною круга и пневмодрели.При этом нет необходимости делать специальные фаски - их роль выполняют простые по форме поверхности канавок и лысок.Использование полезной модели позволяет повысить технологичность изготовления соединения охватывающей и охватываемой деталей с натягом. 2 ил.

Methods and Apparatus for Digital Composites

Номер: US20120094060A1

Автор: Kenneth Cheung, Neil Gershenfeld

Принадлежит: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

In exemplary implementations of this invention, a digital material comprising many discrete units is used to fabricate a sparse structure. The units are reversibly joined by elastic connections. Each unit comprises fiber-reinforced composite material. Each unit is small compared to the sparse structure as a whole. Likewise, in a sparse structure made from this digital material, the number of types of units is small compared to the total number of units. The digital material is anisotropic. This anisotropy may be due to different fiber orientations within each unit. Furthermore, different units in a single sparse structure may be oriented in different directions and in different, non-parallel planes. In some cases, the digital material is reinforced with carbon fibers, and connections between units are stronger than the units themselves. The small discrete units may be assembled into a strong, lightweight sparse structure, such as an airframe.
