Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a hydraulic device for drilling keyways in a vertical machining center. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, keyway drilling is a critical process on vertical machining centers, especially for high-precision components such as plungers. The plunger achieves volume change through its reciprocating motion within the cylinder, thereby fulfilling the functions of oil suction and pressure. During this process, the cylindricity of the plunger is fundamental to ensuring a good seal between it and the cylinder, preventing fluid leakage. Therefore, the machining quality and stability of the plunger are of paramount importance.
[0003] Traditional plunger machining involves turning the plunger into a cylindrical shape followed by drilling. This drilling step requires extremely high precision to avoid roughness affecting fluid flow or causing stress concentration. Subsequently, keyways, planes, and other structural features are machined on a vertical machining center. However, this traditional process has several shortcomings:
[0004] 1. High requirements for turning: Not only does it require high-precision machine tools, but when the demand for plungers is large, the processing time is too long, the machine tool occupancy rate is high, and it affects the processing progress of other parts.
[0005] 2. Cumbersome operation: In traditional processes, only one plunger can be clamped at a time, and the workpiece must be fixed by manually tightening the screw, which is complicated and inefficient.
[0006] 3. Waste of Human Resources: This process cannot allow one person to operate multiple machines, increasing the workload of workers and resulting in a serious waste of human resources. In view of the above problems, the market urgently needs a vertical machining center keyway drilling fixture that can simplify operation, improve machining accuracy, and has strong applicability. Especially for the machining of high-precision components such as plungers, developing an efficient hydraulic fixture has become a top priority. Utility Model Content
