Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vertical wire cutting fixture and operation method for piston rings, belonging to the clamping technical field of vertical wire cutting of mechanical ring-shaped parts. Background Art

[0002] Piston rings are vulnerable parts of diesel engines. Although their structural shapes are simple, the geometric tolerances of the two planes and the outer circle are required to be relatively high, belonging to relatively precise parts. Since the cutting process of the piston ring lap joint is at the end of the entire manufacturing process flow, that is, when cutting and separating, other structural shape elements have been finely processed in place, it is necessary to ensure that operations such as clamping in the cutting and separating process do not damage the dimensions and geometric tolerances that have been processed in place before.

[0003] Due to the inclined lap joint, "Z"-shaped or "S"-shaped overlapping lap joint shapes required for the wire cutting fracture of the piston ring, it is necessary to make the central axis of the piston ring perpendicular to the wire cutting electrode molybdenum wire, that is, to vertically clamp the piston ring perpendicular to the wire cutting workbench surface. The conventional clamping methods of general tools are difficult to operate, cumbersome and complex, and have low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new vertical wire cutting fixture and operation method for piston rings to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

A sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the vertical rod, and a limiting bolt is threadedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve. The two sides of the sliding sleeve away from the limiting bolt are respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the limiting plate through a rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, both the lower pressing plate and the upper pressing plate are L-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing rib plate is provided at the bottom end of the fixed seat.

[0011] Preferably, an avoidance groove for cooperating with the workpiece is provided on one side of the limiting plate.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, there is a base 1. Installation grooves 2 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the base 1. Fixed bolts 3 are provided in the installation grooves 2 of the base 1. The upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly installed with a main body plate 4. A cutting groove 5 is opened in the middle of one side of the base 1. A limiting mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the main body plate 4. A workpiece 7 is press-fitted on the limiting mechanism 6. The limiting mechanism 6 includes: support blocks 8. Two support blocks 8 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The top of the support block 8 is installed with a lower pressing plate 9 through a first installation bolt 10. A first mating hole 11 that is threadedly connected and matched with the first installation bolt 10 is equidistantly opened on one side of the top of the support block 8.

[0027] It should be noted that: First, the staff assembles the equipment. After the assembly is completed, the staff then places the workpiece 7 on the limiting mechanism 6, and the limiting mechanism 6 completes the limitation and pressing and fastening of the workpiece 7, so as to more conveniently and accurately cut the workpiece 7.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in

[0029] It should be noted that: The symmetrically arranged support blocks 8 can provide stable and balanced support for the workpiece 7. In addition, the inclined surface provided at the top of the support block 8 can provide better support for the circular workpiece 7.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 As shown in

[0031] It should be noted that: Lift the limiting plate 21 to the top of the vertical rod 17. Then, lower and rotate the limiting plate 21 to support the workpiece 7 on the support block 8. When the limiting plate 21 moves to a suitable position, at this time, the staff restricts the position of the sliding sleeve 19 through the limiting bolt 20. When the limiting plate 21 restricts the top end of the support block 8, the staff can press and fasten the workpiece 7 through the lower pressing plate 9 and the upper pressing plate 12 without supporting the workpiece 7, so as to realize the restriction of the position of the workpiece 7, and then cut the workpiece 7. The fixed seat 15 and the reinforcing block 16 can fixedly install the vertical rod 17, and the vertical rod 17 is convenient for the sliding sleeve 19 to move vertically along the vertical rod 17.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in

[0033] It should be noted that: The L-shaped lower pressing plate 9 and upper pressing plate 12 can press and fasten the workpiece 7.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, reinforcing rib plates are provided at the bottom end of the fixed seat 15.

[0035] It should be noted that: The reinforcing rib plates provided at the bottom of the fixed seat 15 facilitate increasing the installation stability of the fixed seat 15, and thus better support and install the vertical rod 17.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an avoidance groove that cooperates with the workpiece 7 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 21.

[0037] It should be noted that: The avoidance groove provided on one side of the limiting plate 21 can prevent the workpiece 7 from being squeezed when the limiting plate 21 restricts the workpiece 7.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an installation post that cooperates with the limiting plate 21 is provided at one end of the sliding sleeve 19 away from the limiting bolt 20.

[0039] It should be noted that: The installation post provided on one side of the sliding sleeve 19 facilitates the rotational installation of the limiting plate 21.

[0040] The present invention also provides an operation method for a piston ring vertical wire cutting fixture, including:

[0041] 1), Equipment assembly. The staff places the base 1 flat on the platform, and then fixes and installs the base (1) through the fixing bolts 3, and installs the limiting mechanism 6.

[0042] 2), Workpiece clamping. Lift the limiting plate 21 to the top of the vertical rod 17. Then, place the workpiece on the support block 8. Then, lower and rotate the limiting plate 21 to support the workpiece 7 on the support block 8. Then, the staff presses and fastens the workpiece 7 through the lower pressing plate 9 and the upper pressing plate 12 to restrict the position of the workpiece 7, and then perform the cutting work on the workpiece 7.

[0043] The working principle of the piston ring vertical wire cutting fixture provided by the present invention is as follows: The staff places the base 1 flat on the platform, and then fixes and installs the base 1 through the fixing bolts 3. When installing the limiting mechanism 6, when it is necessary to clamp the workpiece 7, first place the workpiece 7 on the support block 8. Then, lift the limiting plate 21 to the top of the vertical rod 17, and then lower and rotate the limiting plate 21 to support the workpiece 7 on the support block 8. When the limiting plate 21 moves to a suitable position, at this time, the staff restricts the position of the sliding sleeve 19 through the limiting bolt 20. After the limiting plate 21 restricts the top end of the support block 8, the staff can press and fasten the workpiece 7 through the lower pressing plate 9 and the upper pressing plate 12 without supporting the workpiece 7, so as to restrict the position of the workpiece 7, and then carry out the cutting work on the workpiece 7.
