Therefore, achieving high-quality, rapid internal chamfering or rounding of stepped pin seat pin holes has become a significant technical challenge in the industry.

This results in long debugging times, long processing times, poor fillet or chamfer effects after processing, and high manufacturing costs.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a method for easily machining the inner chamfer or rounding of piston pin holes is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The combined electrode consists of several basic electrodes. By adjusting the relative positions between the basic electrodes, the working surface of the combined electrode can correspond to the machining surface contour of the piston pin hole. The piston pin hole is filled with electrolyte, and the two power poles of the power supply system are connected to the piston pin hole and the combined electrode, respectively.

[0015] The working surface of the combined electrode after being limited is set towards the machined surface of the piston pin hole, and a uniform gap is ensured between the two.
[0016] Fill the piston pin hole with electrolyte, then connect the combined electrode to the negative terminal of the power supply, and connect the outer surface of the piston pin hole to the positive terminal of the power supply.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] Reference manual attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 , attached Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the combined electrolysis device provided in the embodiment of this application, which is disposed in the piston pin hole. Figure 2 This is a front view of the assembled combined electrodes provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a top view of the assembled combined electrode provided in an embodiment of this application. The combined electrolysis device is applied to the machined surface of the piston pin hole 5 and includes: a shaping sleeve 1, a combined electrode 2, a clamp 3, and a power supply system. The combined electrode 2 is sleeved on the circumference of the shaping sleeve 1, and the clamp 3 is sleeved on the outside of the combined electrode 2. The shaping sleeve 1 is configured as an annular sleeve, and the clamp 3 tightens and limits the combined electrode 2 to the outside of the shaping sleeve 1, forming an electrode ring.
[0038] The aforementioned combined electrode 2 includes several basic electrodes 21. By adjusting the relative positions between the basic electrodes 21, the working surface of the aforementioned combined electrode 2 can be made to correspond to the machining surface contour of the aforementioned piston pin hole 5. The aforementioned piston pin hole 5 is filled with electrolyte, and the two power poles of the aforementioned power supply system are respectively connected to the aforementioned piston pin hole 5 and the aforementioned combined electrode 2.
[0039] The combined electrode 2 is shifted as a whole, so that its working surface faces the machining surface of the piston pin hole 5, ensuring a uniform gap between them. This uniform gap allows for high-precision contouring of the working surface of the combined electrode 2 and the workpiece machining surface. The purpose of this uniform gap is to ensure that there is a certain distance between the working surface of the combined electrode 2 and the machining surface during electrolytic machining. If the electrode comes into contact with the workpiece, it will cause a short circuit and burn out the electrode. The uniformity of the gap ensures the quality of the machining, i.e., the uniformity of the chamfer.
[0040] By adjusting the different combinations of electrodes 2, the system can adapt to various workpiece sizes, specifications, and shapes. The tooling has low manufacturing costs, is easy to maintain and manage, and facilitates adjustments to the profiles for individual workpiece machining. Furthermore, the electrode combination 2 has a simple structure, easy switching operations, and short assembly time. Utilizing electrolytic machining methods, the system offers short setup time, high efficiency, and good quality.
[0041] Further, refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of one of the basic electrodes and the piston pin hole provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a top view of the combined electrode provided in the embodiment of this application. One end of the base electrode 21 is provided with an inclined trapezoidal working surface, and several base electrodes 21 are arranged in parallel.
[0042] The sides of several of the aforementioned base electrodes 21 are sequentially attached, and the end faces on the same side are all attached to the circumference of the aforementioned shaping sleeve 1. The high-precision contour of the machining surface of the piston pin hole 5 is shaped by the inclined trapezoidal working surface, thereby forming a uniform gap between the cathode of the working surface of the combined electrode 2 and the anode of the machining surface of the piston pin hole 5. After energizing, the current density is consistent, and the electrolytic dissolution rate of the anode pin hole machining surface contour is consistent, ultimately forming a uniform inner chamfer 51 or rounded corner of the pin hole. In one embodiment of this application, the combined electrode 2 is formed by n base electrodes 21, which can be determined according to the size of the piston pin hole and the shape of the pin seat; the overall diameter of the combined electrode 2 can be adjusted by different n values; the overall cross-sectional shape of the combined electrode 2 is first determined according to the size of the piston pin hole workpiece by shaping sleeve, and then enclosed; multiple base electrodes 21 are adjusted in the vertical direction according to the shape of the piston pin hole machining surface, and then clamped with clamp 3; each base electrode 21 is tightly attached to each other, ultimately forming an integral combined electrode 2.
[0043] Further, refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 , Figure 6 A top view of the combined electrode provided in the embodiments of this application after adding a reduced-diameter electrode. Figure 7This is a top view of the combined electrode provided in the embodiment of this application after adding the diameter-expanding electrode. The combined electrode 2 also includes: a diameter-reducing electrode 22 and a diameter-expanding electrode 23 interposed between the base electrode 21.
[0044] Both the aforementioned reduced-diameter electrode 22 and expanded-diameter electrode 23 contract or expand along one end face to the other end face, and both the reduced-diameter electrode 22 and expanded-diameter electrode 23 have a slanted trapezoidal working surface at one end. By using different numbers of base electrodes 21, reduced-diameter electrodes 22, and expanded-diameter electrodes 23, different specifications of combined electrodes 2 can be formed, achieving electrode reuse and meeting the rapid switching of various specifications of different products with the minimum number of electrodes.
[0045] Furthermore, both ends of the aforementioned clamp 3 are provided with protrusions, and the two protrusions are connected through a tightening bolt 4. The engagement method between the aforementioned clamp 3 and the tightening bolt 4 can be referred to the prior art, and will not be elaborated here.
[0046] Furthermore, the power cathode of the power supply system is connected to the combined electrode 2, and the power anode of the power supply system is connected to the outer surface of the piston pin hole 5.
[0047] An electrolytic processing method, applicable to any of the above-mentioned combined electrolytic devices, see attached instruction manual. Figure 8 , Figure 8 The flowchart of the electrolytic processing method provided in the embodiments of this application includes:
[0048] S1: Assemble the combined electrode 2 according to the machining surface of the piston pin hole 5, so that the working surface of the combined electrode 2 conforms to the contour of the machining surface of the piston pin hole 5, and limit the combined electrode 2 on the shaping sleeve 1 by the clamp 3.
[0049] S2: Set the working surface of the combined electrode 2 after limiting it to face the machined surface of the piston pin hole 5, and ensure that there is a uniform gap between them;
[0050] S3: Fill the inside of the piston pin hole 5 with electrolyte, connect the combined electrode 2 to the negative terminal of the power supply, and connect the outer surface of the piston pin hole 5 to the positive terminal of the power supply.
[0051] Specifically: The working surface of the combined electrode 2 is adjusted to align the relative positions of several base electrodes 21 until the shape of the working surface of the combined electrode 2 corresponds to and fits the contour of the machined surface of the piston pin hole 5; the sides of several base electrodes 21 are sequentially attached, with the same-side end face of the base electrodes 21 attached to the circumferential surface of the shaping sleeve 1, while the clamp 3 is fitted onto the outer side of the other end face of all the base electrodes 21, achieving high-precision contouring between the working surface of the combined electrode 2 and the contour of the machined surface of the piston pin hole 5, and the combined electrode 2 is limited on the shaping sleeve 1 by the clamp 3; the working surface of the combined electrode 2 after being fixed and limited is translated to the contour of the machined surface of the piston pin hole 5, maintaining a uniform gap between the working surface and the machined surface. Since the contouring of the working surface and the machined surface is consistent, ensuring a uniform gap ensures that the distance between each corresponding point is equal, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect. The piston pin hole 5 is filled with electrolyte, and then the two electrodes are energized to achieve electrolytic processing.
[0052] Further, regarding step S1 above, the combined electrode 2 is assembled according to the machining surface contour of the piston pin hole 5, so that the working surface of the combined electrode 2 conforms to the machining surface contour of the piston pin hole 5, and the combined electrode 2 is limited on the shaping sleeve 1 by the clamp 3. Specifically, this can be described as follows:
[0053] Adjust the relative positions of several of the above-mentioned basic electrodes 21 until the working surface shape of the above-mentioned combined electrode 2 and the machining surface contour shape of the above-mentioned piston pin hole 5 correspond to each other, so as to achieve high-precision contouring of the working surface of the combined electrode and the machining surface contour of the piston pin hole.
[0054] The sides of several of the aforementioned base electrodes 21 are sequentially attached, and the same-side end face of the aforementioned base electrodes 21 is attached to the circumferential surface of the aforementioned shaping sleeve 1, while the aforementioned clamp 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end face of all the aforementioned base electrodes 21.
[0055] Furthermore, the step of adjusting the relative positions of the aforementioned basic electrodes 21 until the working surface shape of the combined electrode 2 and the machining surface contour shape of the piston pin hole 5 correspond to and fit together further includes:
[0056] A reduced diameter electrode 22 or an expanded diameter electrode 23 is added between the basic electrodes 21. The diameter of the entire combined electrode 2 is adjusted by making one side of the reduced diameter electrode 22 or the expanded diameter electrode 23 thicker. The specific number and position of the electrodes can be changed according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated in this article.
