Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crankshaft machining and manufacturing, and in particular to a crankshaft oil hole EDM positioning tooling. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining of large crankshafts, drill bit breakage in oil holes is an extremely common and troublesome technical problem, directly affecting machining efficiency, cost, quality, and even equipment safety. The core issue of drill bit breakage in the machining of oil holes for large crankshafts lies in the combined effect of deep holes, angled holes, and difficult-to-machine materials, resulting in a severe imbalance of drilling forces, extremely difficult chip removal, difficulty in ensuring cooling and lubrication, and the drill bit being subjected to huge bending / torsional stress and thermal stress.

[0003] Conventional methods for removing broken taps and drill bits embedded in tools include manual chipping, breaking them, gas welding followed by unscrewing, and even acid etching or flame cutting. However, these methods are often ineffective and can damage the workpiece. Furthermore, large crankshafts differ from small crankshafts, especially those with angled oil holes, which are small and deep, making conventional methods ineffective for removing broken drill bits. Therefore, electrical discharge machining (EDM) can be used to remove broken drill bits or taps from workpieces. EDM is a method that uses pulsed discharge to efficiently machine various types of steel, iron, and cemented carbide. When using electrical discharge machining (EDM) to remove taps or drill bits from crankshaft oil holes, it is essential to ensure that the EDM electrode and the oil hole on the crankshaft are in the same vertical direction. However, the angles of the inclined oil holes on the crankshaft connecting rod journals vary, making it extremely inconvenient to position the complex angled oil holes on large crankshafts each time. This not only requires lifting the large crankshaft and repeatedly adjusting the angle, resulting in high workload, but also poses serious safety hazards during the lifting process due to the large crankshaft being suspended in the air. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a crankshaft oil hole EDM positioning tooling to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A crankshaft oil hole EDM positioning tooling includes: a base mechanism, a sliding displacement mechanism, a length adjustment mechanism and a support reinforcing rod. The sliding displacement mechanism is slidably mounted on the base mechanism. The length adjustment mechanism is vertically fixed at the top of the sliding displacement mechanism. The support reinforcing rod is inclined and its two ends are fixedly connected to the top of the sliding displacement mechanism and the side wall of the length adjustment mechanism, respectively.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sliding displacement mechanism is conducive to adjusting the position of the length adjustment mechanism on the base mechanism, and at the same time, in conjunction with the different lengths that the length adjustment mechanism can adjust, thereby adjusting the posture of the crankshaft that is tilted on the base mechanism and the length adjustment mechanism, so that the inclined oil hole on the crankshaft connecting rod journal is in the same vertical direction as the electrode of the EDM machine, which makes it convenient to use EDM to remove the tap or drill bit broken in the crankshaft oil hole. In addition, the supporting reinforcing rod helps to improve the strength of the tooling when the crankshaft is tilted on the base mechanism and the length adjustment mechanism, and avoids the sliding displacement mechanism from sliding on the base mechanism or the length adjustment mechanism from tipping over due to the excessive weight of the crankshaft, thus enhancing the safety factor.

The support reinforcing rod 4 is inclined and its two ends are fixedly connected to the top of the sliding displacement mechanism 2 and the side wall of the length adjustment mechanism 3, respectively.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two ends of the crankshaft are respectively fitted onto the lower crankshaft limiting block 13 in the base mechanism 1 and the upper crankshaft limiting block 33 in the length adjustment mechanism 3. At this time, the crankshaft is in an inclined state, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown;

[0037] To further ensure the safety of the machining process and prevent the crankshaft from falling, multiple slings are used to cover the crankshaft throughout the machining process, and these slings are connected to the overhead crane for secondary protection. However, it should be noted that the weight of the crankshaft during machining is borne by the lower crankshaft limit block 13 and the upper crankshaft limit block 33. The slings are only placed on the crankshaft and do not bear the weight of the crankshaft. The slings only bear the weight of the crankshaft when the crankshaft tilts or falls.

In addition, the supporting reinforcing rod helps to improve the strength of the tooling when the crankshaft is tilted on the base mechanism and the length adjustment mechanism, and avoids the sliding displacement mechanism from sliding on the base mechanism or the length adjustment mechanism from tipping over due to the excessive weight of the crankshaft, thus enhancing the safety factor.

The upper rolling limiter helps to limit and guide the displacement of the sliding assembly along the length of the I-shaped steel, thereby improving the stability of the sliding assembly when sliding on the I-shaped steel.

[0054] Preferred, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper rolling limiting member 214 includes an upper rolling rod 2141 and two upper fixing blocks 2142. The two upper fixing blocks 2142 are fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the sliding plate 211. The upper rolling rod 2141 is rotatably disposed between the two upper fixing blocks 2142. The upper rolling rod 2141 rolls with the top end of the upper horizontal plate of the I-shaped steel 12.

[0056] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the length adjustment mechanism 3 includes: an outer adjustment cylinder 31, an inner adjustment rod 32, and a crankshaft upper limit block 33.

[0062] The working process of this embodiment is described below:

[0063] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, before hoisting a large crankshaft, it is necessary to ensure that the tooling is in the work area and that all casters 111 are in the braked state.

[0066] Then slowly place the crankshaft on the fixture, that is, place the two ends of the crankshaft one by one into the grooves on the lower limit block 13 and the upper limit block 33 of the crankshaft;

[0067] Next, check whether the inclined oil hole on the crankshaft connecting rod journal and the electrode of the EDM machine are in the same vertical direction. If they are not in the same vertical direction, lift the crankshaft slightly, loosen the first locking adjustment component 34, and fine-tune the height of the length adjustment mechanism 3, or loosen the second locking adjustment component 212 and fine-tune the position of the sliding displacement mechanism 2 on the I-beam 12. After fine-tuning, tighten the first locking adjustment component 34 and the second locking adjustment component 212 again until the inclined oil hole on the crankshaft connecting rod journal and the electrode of the EDM machine are in the same vertical direction.

[0068] Finally, after checking that all bolts on the fixture are tightened, EDM work can be carried out. Throughout the operation, a crane and slings are used to provide secondary protection for the crankshaft to avoid the risk of falling.

[0069] This embodiment has the following advantages:

[0070] When machining large crankshaft oil holes, especially oblique oil holes on connecting rod journals, if the drill bit suddenly breaks off inside the crankshaft, it can be removed using electrical discharge machining (EDM). Multiple products and models of crankshafts can share a single tooling to achieve EDM positioning machining, reducing the losses to the company caused by drill bits or taps breaking off inside the crankshaft and avoiding the scrapping of crankshaft products.
