[0026] The application is further described below in connection with the embodiments shown in the drawings.

[0027] A manufacturing method of a combined hydraulic amplifier, comprising the following steps:

[0028] (1) preparing materials, the blank material is selected as a cylindrical blank material, which is convenient for machining the upper block and the lower block; Figure 1

[0029] (2) machining the initial structure of the upper block and the lower block; as shown in the drawing; Figures 2-3

[0030] The lower block has a long strip-shaped oil return passage on one side surface and a circular large hole on the other side surface, the circular large hole is communicated with the oil return passage, two symmetrical pin holes are machined on one side of the oil return passage; an oil inlet hole is machined on one side of the oil return passage, the oil inlet hole is located between the two pin holes; two load holes are machined on the other side of the oil return passage.

[0031] The upper block has a long strip-shaped oil return passage on one side surface and a circular large hole on the other side surface, the circular large hole is communicated with the oil return passage, the oil return passage on the upper block is the same in shape as the oil return passage on the lower block and corresponds in position; two symmetrical pin holes are machined on one side of the oil return passage on the upper block, the two pin holes on the upper block correspond in position with the two pin holes on the lower block.

[0032] The circular hole on the upper block, the circular hole on the lower block and the long strip-shaped oil return passage all have the function of passing through the components of the armature assembly, the left and right movement of the armature assembly dynamically distributes the inlet oil into two small water droplets, and the residual part is discharged through the long strip-shaped oil return passage and the circular hole on the lower block.

[0033] ​​The lower block is connected with the components of the valve body, and the valve body also has four holes, one oil inlet hole, two load holes and one large oil return hole. The left and right movement of the armature assembly can change the size of the oil energy accepted by the load hole, so as to change the energy through the valve body to the next stage.

[0034] In addition, the material of the upper block is 9Cr18Mo, and the material of the lower block and the cylindrical pin is 2Cr13. The selection of the materials of the upper block, the lower block and the cylindrical pin can improve the service life of the product, the deformation of the interference object, and the process feasibility of the machining of the parts.

[0035] (3) heat treatment;

[0036] The traditional heat treatment method is used to eliminate internal stress and improve hardness.

[0037] The heat treatment hardness of the upper block is HRC58-62, and the heat treatment hardness of the lower block and the cylindrical pin is HRC26-32. The heat treatment hardness of the upper block, the lower block and the cylindrical pin can improve the service life of the product, the deformation of the interference object, and the process feasibility of the machining of the parts.

[0038] (4) machining a hydraulic amplifier oil passage cavity on the upper block; using electric spark technology, a hydraulic amplifier oil passage cavity is roughly machined on the upper block, and then using femtosecond laser technology, the hydraulic amplifier oil passage cavity is precisely machined, so that the oil passage cavity is communicated with the oil return channel on the upper block, and the fine requirements of the oil passage cavity are ensured.

[0039] The specific operation is: using electric spark technology, 85%-90% of the volume of the oil passage cavity is roughly machined and removed on the upper block. At this time, the oil passage cavity is not completely communicated with the oil return channel on the upper block, and the remaining volume of the oil passage cavity is positioned and precisely machined using femtosecond laser technology, so that the oil passage cavity is communicated with the oil return channel on the upper block. The precise machining of femtosecond laser can realize the machining of microstructure, eliminate machining stress, reduce deformation, and avoid the generation of burrs, shorten the process route, and avoid the secondary flat grinding process after precise machining; as shown in Figures 4-5 .

[0040] As shown in Figure 4 , 5 , the oil passage cavity is three water droplet-shaped cavities, including one receiving port and two jet ports. The receiving port is distributed on one side of the oil return channel of the upper block, and the two jet ports are distributed on the other side of the oil return channel of the upper block. Among them, the depth tolerance of the three water droplet-shaped cavities is ±4μm. Thickness is an important indicator affecting performance. As a pre-stage, it will directly affect the dynamic performance of the entire product. Different thicknesses will affect the consistency of the same batch of products or the same type of products.

[0041] (5) machining two tapered cylindrical pins; the tapered cylindrical pin is thick at one end and thin at the other end, the thick end is used for interference fit with the pin hole of the lower block, and the thin end is used for interference fit with the pin hole of the upper block;

The tapered cylindrical pins ensure different interference amounts with the upper block and the lower block, and reduce the deformation amount of the important parts.

[0043] (8) detecting the pressing quality of the upper block and the lower block to obtain the combined hydraulic amplifier. After the upper block and the lower block are connected by the tapered cylindrical pins, the tapered cylindrical pins do not protrude from the profile surface, the quality of the two joint surfaces is detected by an optical method, and there is no diffraction phenomenon at the two joint surfaces, wherein the surface finish of the upper block and the lower block is not less than 0.8 μm, and the flatness is not less than 0.02 μm. The requirements of surface finish and flatness are to ensure the combination degree of the upper block and the lower block, and to avoid performance out-of-tolerance caused by unevenness, therefore, the detection requirements are increased.

Those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to the embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative labor. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments herein, and improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application should be within the protection scope of the present application.
