Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to piston pinhole processing technical field, concretely is a pinhole processing device of different specifications of piston. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the piston manufacturing industry, as the key component of the engine, the processing quality of the pinhole of the piston directly concerns the performance and reliability of the engine. With the development of industry, the demand for pistons is increasingly diversified. Different specifications of pistons are widely used in various engines. However, the existing piston pinhole processing device has exposed many problems in actual application and needs to be improved. At present, most piston pinhole processing devices have poor universality. Many processing equipment is tailor-made according to specific specifications of pistons. When facing pistons with different diameters, lengths or structures, it is not up to the task. If different specifications of pistons are to be processed, special fixtures need to be replaced. This process is not only complicated and involves the disassembly and installation of many parts, but also takes a long time, frequently interrupts the production line and seriously affects the production efficiency. For example, in some small and medium-sized piston manufacturing enterprises, due to the diversity of piston specifications in orders, frequent replacement of fixtures leads to a significant increase in equipment downtime and prolongs the production cycle, which cannot meet the customer's demand in time. To solve the problem of universality, some enterprises choose to purchase multiple sets of processing equipment of different specifications to process different types of pistons. However, this method ensures the feasibility of processing to some extent, but brings high cost and significantly increases the purchase cost of equipment. At the same time, multiple sets of equipment need to occupy a large amount of production space, which significantly increases the production cost and operating cost of enterprises. For some enterprises with limited funds and space, this solution is not sustainable.

[0003] In addition to the problem of universality, the poor discharge of waste is also a big problem faced by the existing piston pinhole processing device. During the processing, a large amount of metal scraps and other waste will be generated. Some processing devices lack reasonable waste discharge structure and cannot effectively guide and clean the waste. The waste is easy to accumulate in the processing area, which not only interferes with the normal operation of the processing tool and leads to a decrease in processing precision, but also may exacerbate the wear of the tool and shorten the service life of the tool. Frequent replacement of tools not only increases the production cost, but also affects the continuity of production. Moreover, if the accumulated waste is not cleaned in time, it may damage other parts of the processing device, further increasing the maintenance cost of the equipment. SUMMARY
