Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of precision tool manufacturing, and in particular to a hole machining tool passivation device and method based on a water sandblasting process. Background Art
[0002] During the manufacturing process of hole processing tools such as drills, reamers, and milling cutters, microscopic burrs, curled edges, or sharp edges often exist on the cutting edge, which directly affects the cutting performance and life. Passivation treatment is a key step in finishing. By removing cutting edge defects and forming micro-rounded corners, it can significantly improve the wear resistance of the tool, reduce the risk of chipping, and improve the surface processing quality. Traditional passivation processes include manual oilstone grinding, vibration grinding, dry sandblasting, etc., but they have problems such as low efficiency, poor consistency, and dust pollution. In recent years, water sandblasting technology has gradually become the mainstream process for precision tool passivation due to its advantages in environmental protection, cooling effect, and surface treatment uniformity.
[0003] Current mainstream equipment typically consists of a closed box, a sandblasting system, a workpiece clamping mechanism, and a rotary drive unit. The clamping mechanism often uses a fixed V-block, a three-jaw chuck, or a simple fixture. After the tool is clamped vertically, it is driven by a motor to rotate so that the cutting edge is evenly impacted by the abrasive water jet. Some equipment incorporates a turntable structure to achieve multi-station continuous operation and improve batch processing efficiency, but there are technical drawbacks: The impact force of the sandblasting jet can easily cause slender tools, such as deep hole drills and micro drills, to experience axial movement or radial deflection. Especially when the length-to-diameter ratio (L / D) is greater than 5, the vibration is aggravated. The existing clamping mechanism only constrains the shank, and the drill tip has no rigid support. During rotation, the tool is affected by the centrifugal force and the reaction force of the sandblasting, and is prone to micro-bending and deformation, resulting in uneven thickness of the passivation layer and even damage to the cutting edge.
