The overall body not only has good rigidity, but the verticality of the crosshead slideway and the spindle hole can be guaranteed by the machine tool, and the workload of mechanical processing and installation is small. However, the existing device structure is complex, with many processing steps, and many tools are required to complete the processing during processing. Three different tools are required for processing the oil groove, the card slot and the plane. Therefore, the tool on the boring machine needs to be replaced during processing, which is inconvenient to use and affects the processing speed. Summary of the invention

After machining, machine the plane on the outer side of the reinforcing ring through the boring machine tool; S4) Finish machining of the workpiece: Machine the end of the piston connection head. First, fix the device on a drilling machine, and then the drilling machine can drill the threaded connection through hole and the threaded connection blind hole. After drilling, machine the internal threads of the threaded connection through hole and the threaded connection blind hole with a threaded drill bit.
[0008] Further, when machining the holes of the workpiece, connect the reference inner circle at the lower end of the piston connection head with the positioning part to ensure the device.
[0009] Further, a composite tool is used when machining the oil groove, snap ring retaining groove and the plane on the outer side of the reinforcing ring. The tool includes a tool shank.
