Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, in particular to an expansion mandrel used for processing and positioning of thin-walled tubes. Background Art

[0002] Pure iron parts are widely used in the fields of electricity, electronics, aerospace, etc. due to their high purity, excellent electromagnetic properties and good processing performance. The material of a certain yoke part is DT4E. Although the material has good ductility and toughness, its strength and hardness are relatively low. It is easy to change during the processing, resulting in the inability to guarantee high-precision holes and outer circles. In addition, there are scratches on the surface of the parts after processing, resulting in unqualified surface roughness of the parts. The traditional clamping method uses a rigid mandrel for clamping. The positioning accuracy of the rigid mandrel and the part clearance is not high; the rigid mandrel has poor adaptability, and multiple mandrels are required for one part; some rigid mandrels slip; scratches are easily generated on the surface of the part, affecting delivery; the clamping process wastes a lot of time to test the adaptability of the mandrel. And the processing qualification rate is not high. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of the utility model: To solve the problems of clamping, variability and scratches on the outer surface of pure iron rotating parts after processing.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] Furthermore, the inner concave portion is an inner cone, and the outer convex portion is an outer cone.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer ends of the two adjusting studs are both external hexagonal structures.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the expansion core forms a journal, and the journal is provided with the threaded hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle of the inner and outer cones is 120°. The larger contact surface increases the friction between the two, preventing the screws from loosening due to centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation of the parts and vibration of the machine tool during processing.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning plane is provided on the mandrel, and the plane is aligned for positioning before the mandrel is used each time.

[0014] Furthermore, a chip removal groove is provided on the outer circle of the core shaft to solve the problem of parts scratching during chip removal.
