[0029] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A piston ring opening cutting device, the device comprising: a worktable 1, a piston ring fixing mechanism 2, and an opening cutting mechanism 3, wherein the piston ring fixing mechanism 2 is disposed on the worktable 1, and the opening cutting mechanism 3 is disposed on one side thereof; wherein, the piston ring fixing mechanism 2 comprises: an arc-shaped fixing frame 201, a first arc-shaped hinge frame 202, a second arc-shaped hinge frame 203, and an adjusting component 204, wherein the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 are respectively hinged to opposite ends of the arc-shaped fixing frame 201, and the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 are connected by the adjusting component 204, the adjusting component 204 being used to adjust the opening size of the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203.

[0031] In this application, the adjusting component 204 is used to enlarge the opening between the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203. Then, the piston rings are stacked and placed between the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203. Subsequently, the adjusting component 204 is used to reduce the opening between the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203, thereby fixing the stacked piston rings. Then, the opening cutting mechanism 3 is used to uniformly cut the openings of the stacked piston rings; this fixing method is relatively simple to operate and improves work efficiency.

[0032] Refer to Figure 3 : The adjusting component 204 includes: a connecting piece 20401 and an adjusting wrench 20402. One end of the connecting piece 20401 is hinged to the outer end of the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202, and the other end is hinged to the middle part of the adjusting wrench 20402. One end of the adjusting wrench 20402 is hinged to the outer end of the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203.

[0033] In this application, by掰动 adjusting wrench 20402, the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 are driven to move away from or close to each other through the connecting piece 20401, thereby adjusting the opening size between the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 : The connecting piece 20401 is in a "U" shape.

[0035] In this application, this design is adopted to prevent the connecting piece 20401 from being cut off together when the opening cutting mechanism 3 is working.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 : The adjusting wrench 20402 is in a "厂" shape.

[0037] In this application, the "厂" shape structure optimizes the mechanical conduction path, making it more ergonomic for the user to掰动 the adjusting wrench 20402. It can reduce the deviation of the hand force application angle and achieve fast and precise adjustment. This design avoids the defect of the traditional straight rod type adjusting device that requires multiple fine adjustments.

[0038] Refer to Figure 4 : The opening cutting mechanism 3 includes: a rotating frame 301, a rotating shaft 302, a cutting wheel 303, and a driving component 304. One end of the rotating frame 301 is rotatably arranged on one side of the piston ring fixing mechanism 2, and the other end is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft 302 through the driving component 304. The cutting wheel 303 is coaxially and rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 302.

[0039] This application starts the drive assembly 304 to drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, thereby driving the cutting wheel 303 to rotate. Then, the rotating frame 301 is rotated so that the cutting wheel 303 rotates to the opening of the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 to cut the piston ring.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 At least two cutting wheels 303 are coaxially spaced on the rotating shaft 302.

[0041] This application uses a design that allows for the direct cutting of the piston ring opening in one operation, eliminating the need for adjustments to the piston ring or the cutting wheel 303, and requiring multiple cuts.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 The drive assembly 304 includes a rotary motor 30401, a first synchronous pulley 30402, a second synchronous pulley 30403, and a synchronous belt 30404. The rotary motor 30401 is mounted on the rotating frame 301, and its output shaft is coaxially mounted with the first synchronous pulley 30402. One end of the rotating shaft 302 is coaxially mounted with the second synchronous pulley 30403. The synchronous belt 30404 is respectively sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 30402 and the second synchronous pulley 30403 at opposite ends.

[0043] This application starts the rotary motor 30401 to drive the first synchronous pulley 30402 to rotate, thereby driving the second synchronous pulley 30403 to rotate via the synchronous belt 30404, and then driving the cutting wheel 303 to rotate via the rotating shaft 302.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The opening cutting mechanism 3 also includes a reset elastic element 305. One end of the reset elastic element 305 is located at the end of the rotating frame 301 away from the cutting wheel 303, and the other end is located at the lower side of the rotating frame 301 away from the cutting wheel 303.

[0045] The reset elastic element 305 of this application stores potential energy through preload, automatically driving the rotating frame 301 back to its initial position after the cutting operation is completed. Compared with traditional manual reset devices, it can reduce the number of operation steps by more than 50%.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 A handle 30101 is horizontally provided on one side of the rotating frame 301.

[0047] The user of this application can achieve the opening cutting of the piston ring by holding the handle 30101 to drive the rotating frame 301 to rotate against the pulling force of the reset elastic element 305.

[0048] In use, the device provided by this utility model adjusts the openings of the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 by adjusting the component 204, then stacks the piston rings between the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203, and then adjusts the openings of the first arc-shaped hinge frame 202 and the second arc-shaped hinge frame 203 by adjusting the component 204 to fix the stacked piston rings. Finally, the opening cutting mechanism 3 uniformly cuts the openings of the stacked piston rings. This fixing method is relatively simple to operate and improves work efficiency.

[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0051] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
