Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive valve plate manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing automotive valve plates. Background Technology

[0002] A valve plate for automotive parts is disclosed. The valve plate is a circular plate with a pair of symmetrically arranged oblong holes that penetrate the plate. A through hole is also provided at the core of the plate. The valve plate is mounted on a valve body and rotates relative to the valve body. When the oblong holes on the valve plate overlap with the channel of the valve body, they form an open state; when they are staggered, they form a closed state. This allows the valve plate to open or close the valve body. Therefore, the parallelism of the two sides of the valve plate is required to be 0.05 mm, and the surface roughness is required to be Ra0.1 to ensure that the valve plate meets the working requirements. In the existing production process of automotive valve plates, most of them are directly precision-machined by cutting and punching with a cutting machine, and then ground on one side with the outer edge as the reference after clamping. This affects the performance of the automotive valve plate. At the same time, no hard anodizing treatment is performed at the end of production. After long-term use, the surface of the automotive valve plate may become uneven, which will affect the use of the valve plate. Summary of the Invention
