Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, more particularly to a head crescent boss machining method of a pin shaft structure-free bite cutting forceps. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bite cutting forceps are mainly used for repairing meniscus of knee joints, and meniscus injury is the most common orthopedic disease in knee joint sports trauma, and the surgical treatment is relatively difficult due to the complex anatomical position and large individual variation. At present, with the gradual development of arthroscopic technology in the clinic, arthroscopic surgery has the advantages of small trauma, clear vision and fast postoperative recovery, and is gradually becoming one of the main surgical methods for treating meniscus injury. The bite cutting forceps are indispensable surgical instruments in meniscus shaping surgery.
[0003] The head of the bite cutting forceps is made of 455 stainless steel, and the plasticity and toughness of 455 material are very large. Under high temperature and high pressure, the affinity of stainless steel with other metals is strong, and adhesion phenomenon is easy to occur, and accumulation nodules are formed, which not only aggravates tool wear, but also causes tearing phenomenon and makes the machined surface deteriorate. The affinity effect in the process of cutting stainless steel will cause adhesion and diffusion between the tool and the cutting surface, resulting in adhesive wear and diffusion wear of the tool, and the tool rake face will form a crescent depression, and the cutting edge will also form a small flake and a gap. In addition, the hardness of the carbide such as TiC particle in the stainless steel is very high, which directly contacts and rubs with the tool during cutting, scratches the tool, and also has work hardening phenomenon, which all aggravates tool wear.
[0004] Moreover, the crescent structure on the head of the bite cutting forceps has annular grooves and protrusions on the left and right sides, and the crescent structure is complex, small in size, high in cooperation precision, and difficult to process. When the existing technology is processed, the crescent structure obtained by the segmented processing method will cause deviation in the size and coaxiality of the left and right annular structures, and the cooperation of the forceps head after installation is not firm, which cannot meet the bite cutting demand. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a head crescent structure machining method of a pin shaft structure-free bite cutting forceps, which can complete the machining of the crescent structure at one time, and ensure the machining efficiency, precision and stability.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] The head of the bite cutting forceps is provided with a window, and the two side walls of the window are provided with crescent bosses protruding inward in a semicircular shape; the two bosses are concentric arcs; and the center line of the two bosses is a center line;
[0008] The head crescent boss machining method of the pin shaft structure-free bite cutting forceps comprises the following steps:
[0009] The head of the cutting forceps is age hardened, and the heat treatment temperature is 480-500 DEG C;
[0010] Before machining the boss, the head of the 455 stainless steel cutting forceps is age hardened, and the heat treatment temperature is 480-500 DEG C, which can increase the hardness of the head of the cutting forceps. On the one hand, the adhesion to the tool is small during machining, prolonging the service life of the tool; on the other hand, the boss is movably connected with the upper forceps head, and the wear of the head of the cutting forceps is large, so that the hardness of the head of the cutting forceps is increased, the wear resistance of the boss is improved, and the service life of the cutting forceps is further improved. The residual stress in the material processing after age hardening is small, and the deformation is not easy;
[0011] (2) clamping the workpiece, clamping the lower forceps pipe of the cutting forceps on the five-axis engraving machine;
[0012] (3) detecting the workpiece, detecting whether the clamping of the workpiece on the tool is in place;
[0013] (4) detecting the end mill, running the program, and rough machining the head of the lower forceps pipe to form the window;
[0014] (5) detecting the T-shaped milling cutter I, using the tool detector to detect the wear of the tool in the machine, and judging whether the tool wear exceeds the limited value, if the tool wear exceeds the limited value, the machine automatically alarms, prompting the operator to replace the tool;
[0015] (6) running the program, machining the outer arc surface,
[0016] (7) replacing the tool with the T-shaped milling cutter II, and detecting the T-shaped milling cutter II again, the detection steps being as shown in step (5);
[0017] (8) running the program, machining the inner arc surface;
[0018] The T-shaped milling cutter I and the T-shaped milling cutter II comprise a cutting part, a connecting part and a rod part; the top end of the rod part is a circular truncated cone, the connecting part is arranged at the center of the top end of the rod part; the cutting part is connected with the rod part through the connecting part; and the cutting part and the rod part form an inverted T shape.
[0019] The five-axis engraving machine is used to clamp the workpiece once to complete the machining of the outer arc surface and the inner arc surface of the boss, and the T-shaped milling cutter is used to machine the inner and outer arc surfaces. The advantages of one-time machining are that the machining cost is reduced, the consistency of the function and the size is good, and the assembly position gap of the upper and lower forceps is less than 5 microns. In addition, the in-machine detection system can realize the corner compensation of the edge machining tool and the online compensation of the ball cutter contour deviation, and the tool can be directly matched after being taken out of the machine.
[0020] Preferably, the rotation axis of the T-shaped milling cutter I coincides with the center line during machining of the outer arc surface;
[0021] The rotating axis of the T-shaped milling cutter II coincides with the center line when machining the inner arc surface.
[0022] Preferably, the boss thickness is 0.6 mm; the distance between the two bosses is 0.55 mm.
[0023] Preferably, the machining method further comprises a polishing treatment.
[0024] In the machining, a special polishing fiber wheel is used to polish the boss part.
[0025] In order to improve the smoothness of the crescent part, a special polishing fiber wheel is used to polish the boss part in the machining, so as to remove burrs and sharp edges and reduce roughness.
[0026] Preferably, the machining method further comprises using fluid grinding to clean burrs generated in the machining process.
[0027] In order to reduce the difficulty in machining this part due to the small feature, ordinary mechanical polishing cannot remove burrs and reduce roughness from 1.6 μm to 0.8 μm, fluid grinding is considered to process this position. Roughness from 1.6 μm to 0.8 μm will greatly improve the smoothness when the parts are matched with each other; at the same time, due to the reduction of roughness, the storage of residual liquid on the boss surface is reduced, and the corrosion risk caused by high temperature and high pressure sterilization of the product is reduced.
[0028] According to the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] The machining result of the method of the present application is that: the assembly position gap of the upper and lower jaws is less than 5 μm; the in-machine detection system is used to realize the corner compensation of the blade edge finishing tool and the online compensation of the ball cutter contour deviation, and the product can be directly matched after being taken off the machine.
[0030] The product produced by using the machining method has stable size and good structural consistency; the workpiece is clamped once, avoiding the error caused by multiple clamping; the waste rate is low during product manufacturing; the tool wear is small; the product quality is improved, and the production cost of the product is reduced.
