Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a method for machining a single ring-shaped thin-walled part. Background Technology

[0002] For thin-walled ring components such as sliding rings, after assembly with the flywheel flange, if wear occurs during actual use, only the sliding ring needs to be replaced. Therefore, the inner diameter of the sliding ring is relatively large and it needs to have good cylindricity to facilitate assembly with the flywheel flange. The outer circle of the sliding ring needs to be fitted with a sealing ring, which plays a sealing role after assembly. Therefore, the outer circle has good runout requirements for the inner hole, and the outer circle roughness requirements are high, requiring good wear resistance.

[0003] The existing technical requirements for sliding rings during machining are as follows: inner hole diameter φD, inner hole cylindricity requirement 0.04, outer diameter φd, outer circle runout relative to the inner hole requirement 0.02, outer circle surface roughness requirement Ra0.4, and outer circle carburized and hardened hardness of [missing information]. Carburized layer depth 500HV10=δmm, width L, wall thickness 3mm~4mm, see appendix for details. Figure 1 To meet the technical requirements of sliding rings, the parts need to be carburized and quenched, and the inner hole and outer circle need to be ground. Since sliding rings are large thin-walled parts (inner hole diameter ≥ φ145, wall thickness 3mm~4mm) and need to be heat treated, the dimensional tolerances and positional tolerances of the inner hole and outer circle are high, and deformation is easily generated during the processing. Therefore, it is particularly important to control and eliminate deformation.

[0004] Existing machining methods involve direct clamping with fixtures, which results in significant part deformation and fails to guarantee the final dimensions and positional tolerances of the sliding ring. Using internal hole positioning and pressure plate to press the end face only allows grinding of the outer diameter of the part, not the inner hole, thus failing to guarantee the cylindricity and tolerance requirements of the inner hole, as well as the runout requirements of the outer diameter relative to the inner hole. Using a head support for inner hole machining results in low material utilization. All of the above machining methods have defects and cannot meet the usage requirements of the sliding ring. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a processing method for an integral ring-shaped thin-walled part, which can effectively control the deformation of the ring-shaped thin-walled part during the processing, and ensure the final dimensional tolerance and positional accuracy requirements of the part, thus effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0019] S13: Aging treatment: to remove stress generated during quenching, second semi-finish turning, and finish turning;

[0020] S14: Grinding 1: Grind the inner hole of the middle connecting part of the soft chuck support, and grind the outer circle and inner hole of the other end of the connecting part against the inner hole end face of one end of the connecting part in one clamping to ensure the final technical requirements of the inner hole and outer circle.

[0046] S3: Rough turning 2 (turning over to turn the end face, outer diameter, inner hole, and chamfer): The inner hole and end face machined in step S2 are flattened by the soft chuck support. The remaining material is removed from the outer diameter, the other end face of the connecting piece, the inner hole, and the inner hole of the middle connecting part. A 1.6mm allowance is reserved in the outer diameter direction, a 17.9mm allowance is reserved in the inner hole diameter direction, and a 10mm allowance is reserved in the inner hole diameter direction for the middle connecting part.

[0060] S17: Cutting: Cut along the inner hole of the soft chuck support's central connecting part, close to the flat end face of the inner hole, at the connecting part, to machine two sliding ring parts. Leave a 0.1mm allowance at the cut end face of the parts. See attached document. Figure 7 ;

[0061] S18: Surface Grinding: The end face of the part is held in place by a magnetic chuck on a surface grinder, and the cutting surface is ground to ensure the final width dimensions and technical requirements of both end faces of the part are met.

[0062] S19: Overall deburring and cleaning;

[0063] S20: Final inspection;

[0064] S21: Rust prevention treatment, packaging, and warehousing.

[0065] After machining the inner hole and end face of one end of the assembly in steps S2, S3, S5, S6, S8, and S9, use this as a reference to clamp the assembly and machine the inner hole, end face, and outer circle of the other end of the assembly. This ensures good consistency and positional accuracy at both ends of the assembly. During the turning process, the machining allowance is gradually removed, which effectively reduces deformation.

[0066] Steps S4 and S10 involve carburizing and quenching to achieve the design requirements for the hardness and carburized layer depth of the outer surface of the sliding ring.

[0067] Steps S7 and S13, through stress-relieving tempering and aging treatment, minimize the stress generated during cutting and heat treatment, effectively control deformation, and prepare for finishing on the grinding machine.

[0068] Steps S14, S15, S17, and S18 use the inner hole of the intermediate connecting part as the precision reference, support the inner hole of the intermediate connecting part, and flatten the end face of the inner hole at one end. The part is then clamped and precision machined and ground in one go, avoiding direct clamping of the part. During precision machining, grooves are cut on the outer circle and inner hole, ensuring a single-sided allowance of 1 to 1.5 mm for the groove. This allows the cutting stress to be released as much as possible at the groove, effectively controlling deformation and ensuring the design requirements of the sliding ring are well met.

[0069] In step S17, the inner hole of the connecting part is supported and the end face of the inner hole is flattened. The connecting part is cut to form two sliding ring parts. A 0.1mm allowance is reserved at the cut of the parts. In step S18, the cut surface is ground so that the width of the two end faces of the parts meets the design requirements.

[0070] This invention solves the problem of deformation of thin-walled ring-shaped parts by gradually removing machining allowances through integral machining, relieving stress through heat treatment, and performing fine machining on the inner hole of the integral part during clamping. While controlling the deformation of the parts, it ensures the tolerance of the outer circle dimensions, the runout of the outer circle relative to the inner hole, the outer circle roughness, the inner hole dimensional accuracy and cylindricity, thus guaranteeing the final product quality of the parts.

[0071] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
