Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workholding fixtures, and more specifically, to a workholding fixture for difficult-to-machine external circle grinding. Background Art

[0002] In the process of grinding and processing workpieces, there is often a kind of solid round bar product with a thin step. The characteristics of this product are: the value of height divided by diameter is less than 0.25 mm, it is flat, and the larger the diameter, the higher the grinding processing difficulty.

[0003] The processing requirements for this product are as follows:

[0004] The outer circle surface of the product needs to be ground, and the tolerance requirements for dimensions A and B are ±0.02; the thickness of the product and the step size need to be surface-ground, and the surface roughness requirement is Ra0.4.

[0005] The difficulties in grinding and processing this product are as follows:

[0006] 1. This product has no inner hole and is a solid round bar product with a step. It is impossible to install and clamp with a core rod for external circle grinding;

[0007] 2. The step size is small, and when performing external circle grinding, it is impossible to use a three-jaw chuck for clamping and processing.

[0008] There are three common existing processing methods, which are respectively:

[0009] 1. Using a high-precision coordinate grinder or a CNC machining center for grinding; this method can ensure the precision dimensions and geometric tolerance dimensions of the product, but it requires relying on high-precision processing equipment, with a long processing time, high processing cost, and expensive consumables.

[0010] 2. Increasing the product schematic dimension C by 10 to reserve the clamping position of the three-jaw chuck;

[0011] This method increases the outer circle clamping position of the product, facilitating the clamping and processing of the product's outer circle. However, it wastes materials, is not suitable for batch product processing, and requires adding a wire cutting process to remove the excess materials.

[0012] 3. Designing the blank as two products combined back to back, and adding a center hole to the product. The finished product is processed into two parts from the middle by a wire cutting process; this method can be used for batch production and processing, but the blank processing is difficult, time-consuming, and causes material waste.
