Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wire cutting auxiliary processing, in particular to a steel ball center wire cutting self-centering fixture. Background Art

[0002] The steel balls used in friction experiments need to be tested for the friction morphology and other physical and chemical parameters of the vertex contact area, which are important indicators reflecting the friction and wear performance. Since the steel ball is round as a whole, it is not easy to be fixed, and it may slide during the friction process. It is also easy to accidentally touch the friction contact area on the top of the steel ball during the clamping process, causing human contamination and interfering with the analysis accuracy. This requires wire cutting through the center surface of the steel ball, which not only ensures that the contact area of ​​the steel ball remains stably at the top during the friction process, but also facilitates the placement and removal of the steel ball during characterization and analysis. However, the conventional wire cutting clamping method cannot cut multiple steel balls at the same time and cut to the core along the center surface of the steel ball, and the clamping process will cause wear of the contact area on the top of the steel ball, affecting the accuracy of subsequent experimental detection. Therefore, designing a wire cutting fixture that can be stable and accurate and will not damage the top of the steel ball during the cutting and clamping process is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.
