Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of crankshaft processing, and particularly relates to a fixture for deep hole machining of a crankshaft. Background Art

[0002] The crankshaft, as a key component of a diesel engine, is known as the heart of the diesel engine. The dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerance accuracy requirements for each part of the crankshaft are quite high. Since the main oil passage holes of the crankshaft intersect and connect with the straight oil holes and inclined oil holes, running through the main journal and crank of the entire crankshaft, in the prior art, the fixture has no guiding device and axial limiting device, and only supports and clamps the journal at both ends and the middle journal of the crankshaft. There are still problems when drilling the main oil passage holes of the crankshaft. Due to the high hardness of the crankshaft and the poor rigidity of the tool, during the continuous drilling of the spaced cranks, the tool will sink, resulting in the drilling hole position being lower, ultimately leading to a decrease in the machining accuracy of the main oil passage holes or even exceeding the tolerance. At the same time, during the drilling of the main oil passage holes, the crankshaft bears the axial force from the tool, which is extremely likely to cause insufficient clamping force of the support block, resulting in a series of problems such as tool breakage and chipping. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing fixture. Summary of the Invention
