Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of piston ring processing technology, specifically a method for processing the rounded corners of piston ring edges. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the inner and outer edges of piston rings are generally machined by turning or grinding. However, these two methods have the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1. Turning is only suitable for machining with low precision requirements and inner and outer corner radii of at least 1mm due to the influence of tool marks on measurement accuracy. It is not suitable for machining with high precision requirements and corner radii of less than 1mm. In addition, due to the influence of positioning accuracy, it is difficult to achieve tangency between the machined arc and the edge, so there is an intersection at the edge, and it is impossible to achieve a completely smooth transition.

[0004] 2. Although grinding improves precision by one level compared to turning, it is only suitable for piston rings with a cylinder diameter of Φ50 or greater and inner and outer corner radii of at least 1mm. It is not suitable for piston rings with a cylinder diameter less than Φ50 and a corner radius of less than 1mm.

[0005] 3. The CNC lathe rounded corner programming machining method needs to consider the tool tip compensation problem. The forming tool used in the CNC lathe rounded corner forming tool machining method and the forming template used in the grinding process both require high-precision optical curve grinding machine or slow wire EDM machine. The equipment is expensive, the process is complex, and the cost is high.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to adopt a new processing method to process the rounded corners of piston ring edges. Summary of the Invention

Then, put the first piston ring into the vortex grinder and inject water until the grinding stone is completely submerged in water. Then, start the vortex grinder to grind the chamfer on the outer edge of the piston ring. After grinding, the second piston ring is obtained.

[0011] S3: Remove the chamfer on the inner round edge of the piston ring: After taking out the second piston ring, install it into the ring, and then put the ring with the second piston ring into the vortex grinding machine to grind the chamfer on the inner round edge of the piston ring.

[0012] Preferably, the conditions for manganese phosphating in the overall phosphating treatment of the piston ring in step S1 are: total acidity: 40-60 Pt, free acidity: 6-16 Pt, temperature: 90-105℃, and manganese phosphating time: 60s with an extension of 60s.

[0013] Preferably, the optimal ratio of the brown fused alumina oblique triangular abrasive stone to the brown fused alumina circular abrasive stone is 5:4.

[0014] Preferably, the eddy current grinding machine has a frequency conversion speed regulation of 24-28Hz for both outer and inner cylindrical grinding.

[0015] Preferably, the grinding time of the eddy current grinding machine is 25 min to 30 min for both outer and inner circle grinding.

[0016] Preferably, the amount of the grinding fluid added is 50ml to 100ml.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] In this invention, eddy current grinding is used to grind the inner and outer edges of the piston rings, which can achieve tangency between the edge arcs and the edges, and realize a seamless transition without any intersection points, thereby improving the machining accuracy of the inner and outer edges of the piston rings.
