Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Hard chrome plating sphere is widely used in automobile, aviation, mechanical equipment and other fields, and is usually used to reduce friction, improve wear resistance and prolong service life. In traditional fixing device, mechanical clamp or manual clamping method is usually used, but these methods have some shortcomings, such as insecure clamping, slow clamping speed, and difficult to guarantee processing precision. Liquid expansion mandrel fixing device realizes automatic clamping of sphere through hydraulic system, and can adjust clamping force and clamping position according to needs, with high flexibility and adjustability. Its core technical principle is to inject liquid into mandrel, and use hydraulic action to expand mandrel, so as to realize accurate clamping of sphere. This device not only can provide uniform and stable clamping force, but also can greatly improve processing efficiency, reduce manual operation and improve production automation level.

[0003] Existing liquid expansion mandrel usually adopts single-chamber hydraulic expansion structure, which pushes mandrel to expand and clamp workpiece through oil pressure, and has the following shortcomings: single-chamber design causes clamping force to concentrate in local area, which is easy to damage plating layer; mandrel positioning accuracy is limited by center hole machining error (such as cylindricity>0.003mm); oil leakage causes pressure fluctuation, affecting clamping stability.

[0020] Further, the main body of the mandrel is in a cylindrical structure, and the surface corners are all designed as obtuse angles.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned improvement scheme are that the main body of the mandrel is in a cylindrical structure, and the surface corners are all designed as obtuse angles. This design not only improves the mechanical strength of the mandrel, but also prevents instability or damage caused by sharp corners during work. The design of obtuse angles enhances the durability and safety of the mandrel.

[0022] Further, the expansion chamber adopts a multi-stage structure to further improve uniformity.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned improvement scheme are that the expansion chamber adopts a multi-stage structure to further improve the uniformity during expansion. Through the multi-stage expansion design, the expansion process can be more accurately controlled, avoiding the uneven problem caused by single-stage expansion, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping force and the accuracy of the ball processing.
