Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of boring bars, and in particular relates to a flexible boring bar. Background Art

[0002] The wire boring bar is a must-have tool for machining spindle holes and camshaft holes in the mass production of diesel engines. Currently, most diesel engines are made of vermicular iron, which has poorer cutting performance than gray iron, but has higher strength. Conventional boring cutters have poor stability and cutting performance when machining vermicular iron. Wire boring bars have huge advantages over conventional boring cutters in terms of processing quality, production cycle, and tool life.

[0003] However, the existing boring bars have poor versatility and a long production cycle. The length of the tool bar needs to be customized according to the length of the product being processed. The adjustable range of the tool holder diameter is generally not greater than 0.2mm, and the production cycle is generally 2-4 months. In the current diesel engine market, the diameters of the spindle holes and camshaft holes of engines of the same displacement but different types generally differ by more than ten millimeters or even dozens of millimeters, and the length difference of the engine is even greater. With the increasing number of engine types and faster iterations, the shortcomings of conventional wire boring bars, such as long production cycle, high procurement cost, and poor versatility, have become increasingly prominent. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the modularization of wire boring bars. Utility Model Content
