Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser processing, and in particular to a laser processing device and method for a cracking groove of a fractured connecting rod. Background Art

[0002] An engine connecting rod consists of two main components, a connecting rod body and a connecting rod cap, connected by bolts. It connects the crankshaft and piston in the engine, converting the piston's reciprocating motion into rotational motion. Its machining precision and strength are crucial to engine performance. Currently, the latest technology in connecting rod manufacturing is the expansion-fracture connecting rod processing. Compared to traditional split-piece connecting rod manufacturing, this technology leverages the naturally formed, jagged three-dimensional morphology of the expansion section to achieve a precise fit between the connecting rod body and the connecting rod cap. This effectively improves the connecting rod's load-bearing capacity, shear resistance, and stability, while reducing the number of manufacturing steps and costs. The expansion-fracture connecting rod manufacturing principle involves first machining two symmetrical cracking grooves in the inner wall of the connecting rod's big end hole (with the line connecting the two cracking grooves passing through the center of the big end hole) to create a stress concentration effect. Then, a load is applied to the big end hole perpendicular to the pre-set expansion section, causing cracks to initiate at the bottom of the cracking grooves and propagate along the pre-set expansion section, splitting the connecting rod into the connecting rod body and connecting rod cap without deforming it.

[0003] The manufacturing process for a fractured connecting rod generally includes rough grinding of the connecting rod body's side surfaces, semi-finish boring of the large and small head holes, and fine boring of the small head holes, drilling and tapping of bolt holes and oil channel holes, cleaning, machining of the cracking groove, directional cracking, bolt assembly, pressing of the small head bushing, and bushing finishing, finishing of the side surfaces, finishing of the large and small head holes, honing of the large and small head holes, cleaning, and final inspection. Fracture groove machining is a key process in fractured connecting rod manufacturing. Compared to mechanical machining and wire-cutting fracture groove machining, laser machining offers advantages such as narrow kerf, high speed, pollution-free operation, and excellent stability. It has become a trend in fractured connecting rod manufacturing and holds broad application prospects. Currently, both domestic and international laser fracture groove machining technologies use multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms or multi-axis motion platforms to control the laser head's machining path. These technologies present challenges such as high equipment cost, complex operation and programming, and large footprint. Furthermore, the commonly used single-station laser fracture groove machining equipment requires additional loading time (i.e., processing time and loading time do not overlap), resulting in low processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a laser processing device and method for the cracking groove of the expanded connecting rod with a simple structure and easy operation, so as to reduce production costs and operating difficulty, reduce the equipment footprint, and improve processing efficiency.

[0082] like Figure 22 As shown, a light exit hole 51 is opened on one side of the bottom of the laser head 5, and when the laser head 5 does not rotate, the axis of the light exit hole 51 is parallel to the Y axis.

[0083] like Figures 18 to 21 As shown, the guide groove 4101 on the disc cam 410 is divided from 0° to 360° in sequence: 0° to 50° is the first pushing stage, 50° to 100° is the first return stage, 100° to 180° is the first rest stage, 180° to 230° is the second pushing stage, 230° to 280° is the second return stage, and 280° to 360° is the second rest stage.

[0084] The movement principle of the laser head movement mechanism 4 driving the laser head 5 is as follows: when the laser head movement mechanism 4 is in the initial position, the guide rod 481 on the angular connecting rod 48 is located at the 0° position of the guide groove 4101 of the disc cam 410, and the stop rod 411a of the dial 411 is located at the entrance of the first U-shaped groove 4951 of the cylindrical cam 495.

[0085] Start the second motor 45 to rotate. When the second motor 45 rotates from 0° to 50°, the stop rod 411a of the dial 411 rotates into the first U-shaped groove 4951 of the cylindrical cam 495 to limit the rotation of the cylindrical cam 495. At the same time, the disc cam 410 rotates through the first push stage. With the cooperation of the angular connecting rod 48, the connecting ring pin 493, and the cam shaft 492, the laser head 5 is driven by the cam shaft 492 to move down from the upper limit position of the Z axis to the lower limit position along the Z axis. When the laser head 5 moves down, the light outlet 51 emits light from the first cracking groove of the processing connecting rod 8. When the laser head 5 moves down to the lower limit position, the light outlet 51 stops emitting light.

[0086] When the second motor 45 rotates from 50° to 100°, the stop rod 411a of the dial 411 rotates out of the second U-shaped groove 4952 of the cylindrical cam 495, and at the same time the disc cam 410 rotates through the first return stage, driving the laser head 5 from the lower limit position of the Z axis to the upper limit position along the Z axis through the cam shaft 492.

[0087] When the second motor 45 rotates from 100° to 180°, the disc cam 410 rotates through the first rest stage, and the camshaft 492 does not move to keep the laser head 5 in the extreme position on the Z axis. At the same time, the lever 411b of the dial 411 slides through the first guide groove 4955 of the cylindrical cam 495 and drives the cylindrical cam 495 to rotate 180° forward. The cylindrical cam 495 drives the camshaft 492 to rotate 180° forward, and then drives the laser head 5 to rotate 180° forward through the camshaft 492 and point to the second cracking groove.

[0088] When the second motor 45 rotates from 180° to 230°, the stop rod 411a of the dial 411 rotates into the third U-shaped groove 4953 of the cylindrical cam 495 to limit the rotation of the cylindrical cam 495; at the same time, the disc cam 410 rotates through the second push stage, and drives the laser head 5 to move down from the upper limit position of the Z axis to the lower limit position along the Z axis through the cam shaft 492. When the laser head 5 moves down, the light outlet 51 emits light to the second cracking groove of the processing connecting rod 8. When the laser head 5 moves down to the lower limit position, the light outlet 51 stops emitting light.

[0089] When the second motor 45 rotates from 230° to 280°, the stop rod 411a of the dial 411 rotates out of the fourth U-shaped groove 4954 of the cylindrical cam 495, and at the same time the disc cam 410 rotates through the second return stage, driving the laser head 5 from the lower limit position of the Z axis to the upper limit position along the Z axis through the cam shaft 492.

[0090] When the second motor 45 rotates from 280° to 360°, the disc cam 410 rotates through the second rest stage to keep the laser head 5 at the upper limit position of the Z axis. At the same time, the lever 411b of the dial 411 slides through the second guide groove 4956 of the cylindrical cam 495 and drives the cylindrical cam 495 to reverse 180°. The cylindrical cam 495 drives the cam shaft 492 to reverse 180°, and drives the laser head 5 to reverse 180° through the cam shaft 492 to reset to the initial position.

[0091] Moreover, when the laser head 5 is at the upper limit position of the Z axis, the light exit hole 51 of the laser head 5 is slightly higher than the upper end surface of the connecting rod 8; when the laser head 5 is at the lower limit position of the Z axis, the light exit hole 51 of the laser head 5 is slightly lower than the lower end surface of the connecting rod 8, so that the laser can process the cracking groove of the complete length.

[0092] like Figure 17 As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a cylinder 61 disposed on the second bracket 41 and located below the third bracket 42, and a clamping block 62 disposed on the piston rod of the cylinder 61 and used to press against the connecting rod 8. The side of the clamping block 62 away from the piston rod of the cylinder 61 is provided with a circular arc concave surface 621 that contacts the outer wall of the large end of the connecting rod 8. When the cylinder 61 is activated to extend the piston rod, the clamping block 62 can clamp the connecting rod 8 to be processed after it is positioned by the small head hole positioning pin 31 and the large head hole positioning block 32; when the cylinder 61 is activated to retract the piston rod, the clamping block 62 can release the processed connecting rod 8.

[0093] like Figure 22 As shown, a laser processing device for a cracking groove of a broken connecting rod in another embodiment of the present invention further includes a laser focusing mechanism 7;

[0094] The laser focusing mechanism 7 includes a connecting block 71 arranged at the bottom of the camshaft 492, a focusing guide rail 72 arranged at the bottom of the connecting block 71, and the focusing guide rail 72 is parallel to the Y-axis; a focusing slider 73 slidably arranged on the focusing guide rail 72, and a locking bolt 74 arranged on the side wall of the focusing slider 73 and used to tighten the focusing guide rail 72, the side wall of the focusing slider 73 is provided with a threaded hole, the locking bolt 74 passes through the threaded hole and tightens against the outer wall of the focusing guide rail 72, thereby locking the focusing slider 73 to the focusing guide rail 72; the laser head 5 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the focusing slider 73 and corresponds to the connecting rod 8 at the laser processing position; and the axis of the light outlet 51 and the axis of the focusing guide rail 72 are in the same plane. By sliding the focusing slider 73 on the focusing guide rail 72 and locking the focusing slider 73 on the focusing guide rail 72 through the locking bolt 74, the distance between the light outlet hole 51 on the laser head 5 and the inner wall surface of the large end hole 82 of the connecting rod 8 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the focal length of the laser processing cracking groove.

[0095] Another embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for laser processing a cracking groove of a fractured connecting rod, comprising the following steps:

[0096] S1. Set the initial position of the laser processing device for the cracking groove of the expanded and broken connecting rod: start the first motor 23 on the double-station mechanism 2, and make the first station 27 in the laser processing position, and the second station 28 in the loading and unloading position, and set this state as the initial position of the double-station mechanism 2; when the clamping mechanism 6 does not clamp the connecting rod 8, it is set to the initial position of the clamping mechanism 6; start the second motor 45 on the laser head movement mechanism 4, and make the guide rod 481 on the angular connecting rod 48 be at 0° of the guide groove 4101 on the disc cam 410, and at the same time make the stop rod 411a on the dial 411 be at the entrance of the first U-shaped groove 4951 of the cylindrical cam 495, and set this state as the initial position of the laser head movement mechanism 4; further adjust the required focal length of the laser head 5 for cracking groove processing on the connecting rod 8, and set the laser parameters as needed;

[0097] When the laser head movement mechanism 4 is in the initial position, make the focusing guide rail 72 of the laser focusing mechanism 7 parallel to the Y-axis, loosen the locking bolt 74, and adjust the position of the focusing slider 73 on the focusing guide rail 72 so that the distance between the light outlet hole 51 on the laser head 5 and the inner wall surface of the large head hole 82 on the connecting rod 8 is the focal length required for the laser head 5 to process the cracking groove of the connecting rod 8. Set this state as the initial position of the laser focusing mechanism 7.

[0100] S3. The first station 27 and the second station 28 are interchanged: the first motor 23 is started to rotate forward, and the first station 27 is moved to the laser processing position, and the second station 28 is moved to the upper unloading position. After the two stations are moved into place, the first motor 23 stops rotating, and the connecting rod 8 to be processed on the first station 27 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 6;

[0101] The cylinder 61 is started to extend the piston rod, so that the clamping block 62 clamps the connecting rod 8 to be processed on the first work station 27.

After the processing is completed, the clamping mechanism 6 is reset; at the same time, the next connecting rod 8 to be processed is placed on the second station 28, and the connecting rod positioning mechanism 3 is used to position the connecting rod 8 to be processed;

[0103] The second motor 45 is started to rotate once, causing the laser head motion mechanism 4 to control the laser head 5 to machine the cracking groove of the connecting rod 8 to be machined at the first station 27 according to the set path and beam emission time (the movement principle of the laser head motion mechanism 4 driving the laser head 5). After the machining is completed, the cylinder 61 is activated to retract the piston rod, causing the clamping block 62 to release the machined connecting rod 8 at the first station 27. While the laser machining of the cracking groove is proceeding, a new connecting rod 8 to be machined is manually placed on the second station 28 and positioned using the small-end hole locating pin 31 and the large-end hole locating block 32.

[0104] S5. The first station 27 and the second station 28 are interchanged: the first motor 23 is started to rotate in the opposite direction, and the first station 27 is moved to the upper unloading position, and the second station 28 is moved to the laser processing position.

After the processing is completed, the cylinder 61 is started to retract the piston rod, causing the clamping block 62 to release the processed connecting rod 8 at the second station 28.
