Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Purpose of the Invention (1) Industrial Field of Use The present invention provides for inserting an insert into a hole in a workpiece until it is regulated by the open end surface of the hole to determine the axial position, and After fitting the guide pin of the insert into the positioning hole of the insert to determine the circumferential position, the piercing punch held in the insert is driven radially outward of the hole to create a small diameter hole on the wall of the workpiece. The present invention relates to a method for drilling a small diameter hole in a wall of a workpiece having a hole, in which the hole is bored and the inner peripheral edge of the small diameter hole is curved.

(2) Conventional technology Conventionally, when drilling a small-diameter hole in the wall of a workpiece that has a hole, it is common to use a drill to drill from the outside of the workpiece. In order to avoid bumps and edges from forming at the inner end of the small diameter hole, insert an insert into the workpiece, drive the piercing punch held by the insert radially outward of the hole, and insert the insert into the workpiece. There is also a technique in which a small diameter hole is bored in the wall and the inner peripheral edge of the small diameter hole is curved.

(3) Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, the master cylinder of the brake device is a workpiece, and when drilling a return port to the reservoir as a small diameter hole in the wall of the master cylinder, it is necessary to The hole diameter of the return port is very small, and the rigidity of the piercing punch becomes a problem. In particular, it is necessary to improve the positional precision of the perpendicularity and backlash of the piercing punch relative to the master cylinder wall during punching. However, in the above-mentioned conventional drilling process, the piercing punch is relatively large and has sufficient strength relative to the wall thickness and inner diameter of the workpiece, so the accuracy is not a big problem, and therefore, special No consideration has been given.

However, if the conventional method was applied as is to drilling the return port of the master cylinder, there would be a gap between the insert and the inner surface of the hole for attaching and removing the insert, and the fitting accuracy of the guide pin and positioning hole would be relatively poor. Due to the roughness, the insert may wobble or pivot radially within the hole during the punching operation. In addition, the insert itself has become elongated and has a free end, making it easy to bend, so the piercing punch may not operate at right angles to the workpiece, or may become bent during punching. The piercing punch may be damaged due to bending force when it is returned later.

In order to solve such problems, it is possible to increase the hole diameter of the small diameter hole, that is, the outer diameter of the piercing punch, or to set the length of the piercing punch as short as possible. However, if the outer diameter of the piercing punch is increased, the small diameter hole will not be able to fully perform its function. In addition, when polishing and regenerating a piercing punch, if the length of the piercing punch is short, the curved part under the neck of the piercing punch must be precisely corrected to form a curve around the inner edge of the small diameter hole. However, it becomes expensive.

Also, when inserting the insert into the hole, it is desirable that there is a large gap between the inner surface of the hole and the outer surface of the insert.
In order to position the workpiece, it is desirable that the gap be sufficiently small, and moreover, it is desirable that the gap be uniform along the circumferential direction.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a wall of a workpiece having a hole, which facilitates insertion and removal operations, and firmly positions the inserter in the workpiece to prevent damage to the piercing punch. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for drilling small-diameter holes in parts.

B. Structure of the Invention (1) Means for Solving the Problems According to the method of the present invention, the diameter of the tip of the insert is enlarged and brought into contact with the inner surface of the hole, and the insert is received and inserted at the open end surface of the workpiece. The axial position of the body can now be determined.

(2) Effect In the method of the present invention, the insert is received at the open end surface of the workpiece with its tip enlarged in diameter and brought into contact with the inner surface of the hole, so the insert is substantially integrated into the workpiece. . Therefore, the insert can be firmly and reliably positioned, and the outer diameter of the insert can be made relatively small to facilitate insertion and removal operations.

A support plate 106 is erected at the front end of the moving table 105, that is, the end on the insert body 37 side, and a pair of guide tubes 107, 108 extending horizontally toward the insert body 37 are provided on the upper part of the support plate 106. Fixed. These guide tubes 107 and 108 correspond to the large diameter holes 29 and 31 of the cylinder body 1, and correspond to the large diameter holes 29 and 31 of the cylinder body 1.
It is fixed to the support plate 106 with an interval corresponding to 9 and 31. In addition, a support column 1 is provided at the rear end of the movable table 105.
09 will be erected. Further, a piston rod 111 of a cylinder 110 having an axis parallel to the guide rails 103 and 104 is connected to the rear end of the moving table. As a result, the movable table 105 moves to the cylinder 11.

A frame 112 is supported on the upper part of the column 109 so as to be movable relative to the movable table 105, and this frame 112 is driven by a drive means (not shown). A head 113 provided at the front end of the frame 112 has a pair of spindles 114,
115 are arranged, and these spindles 1

8 is fixed and supported.

The guide tubes 107, 108 are the drill 101,
102, and their lengths are set so that they simultaneously abut against the outer surface of the cylinder body 1 at portions corresponding to the large diameter holes 29, 31.

In FIG. 10, each drill 101, 102
is a small-diameter spiral blade portion 11 at the tip of the guide shaft portion 116.
7 is provided, and the spiral blade part 117

9 and 31, respectively.

Next, to explain the operation of this embodiment, when drilling the first and second return ports 23 and 26 in the cylinder body 1, the bottomed hole 5 and the first and second oil reservoir chambers 21 and 26 are The cylinder body 1, which has a concave portion corresponding to the cylinder body 1, is horizontally clamped between a punch unit 40 and a clamp unit 41. At this time, the insert 37 of the punch unit 40 is inserted into the bottomed hole 5, and the cylinder body 1 is substantially integrated with the insert 37. That is, the clamp unit 41 is a pressing member 44 fitted into the center hole 43 of the cylinder body 1;
The cylinder body 1 is punched until the expanding diameter member 78 at the tip of the insert body 37 comes into pressure contact with the closed end surface 5a of the bottomed hole 5, is compressed in the axial direction, expands in the radial direction, and comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottomed hole 5. Support frame 3 of unit 40
8 side, and the abutting member 49 touches the cylinder body 1.
Positioning in the axial direction is performed by abutting against the opening end surface 1a of. On the other hand, the tip portion 95 of the guide pin 90 floatingly supported by the flange portion 55 of the insert body 37 tapers into the receiving surface 36 of the insertion hole 33 provided in the flange portion 32 of the cylinder body 1 . Therefore, the circumferential relative position of the cylinder body 1 with respect to the insert 37 is determined. Moreover, since the guide pin 90 is elastically biased by the spring 95, even if there is some variation in the dimensions of the flange portion 32 that is not subjected to finishing processing, the tip portion 95 can reliably abut against the receiving surface 36. , the circumferential position is reliably determined.

In this state, the cylinder body 1 is supported horizontally between the punch unit 40 and the clamp unit 41 with the wall portions where the first and second return ports 23 and 26 are to be formed located on the drill unit 42 side. Mobile platform 10 of unit 42
A pair of large diameter holes 29 and 31 are bored in the wall of the cylinder body 1 by moving the spindles 114 and 115 toward the cylinder body 1 and rotationally driving the spindles 114 and 115, respectively. At this time, the guide tubes 107 and 108 are also moving so as to come into contact with the outer wall of the cylinder body 1, and each drill 10
1 and 102 rotate while being guided by their guide tubes 107 and 108 to drill large diameter holes 29 and 31 in the wall of the cylinder body 1.

By the way, if the large diameter holes 29, 31 are deviated from their normal positions, the tip angle α of each drill 101, 102 will be
The resulting deviation of the conical bottom acts as uneven thickness during the subsequent punching process, acts as a bending force on the piercing punches 56, 57, and may cause breakage of the piercing punches 56, 57.
However, when the eccentricity accuracy is constant, the bending force due to the uneven thickness increases as the tip angle α becomes smaller.
From the viewpoint of preventing damage to the tip 57, the larger the tip angle α is, the more advantageous it is. On the other hand, the small diameter holes 28 and 30 in the first and second return ports 23 and 26 are required to prevent the piston cups 7 and 11 from being eaten away.
It is necessary to secure a predetermined length of the shear plane of 8.30. However, the small diameter holes 28, 30 are punched only with the pierce punches 56, 57 without using a die, and moreover, the small diameter holes 28, 30 are
Since the curve forming of the inner end periphery is also performed at the same time, it is necessary to improve the rigidity of the cylinder body 1 as a workpiece in order to ensure the hole diameter accuracy and shear surface length of the small diameter holes 56 and 57. It is better to reduce the tip angle α of each drill 101, 102.

As described above, there are mutually contradictory requirements regarding the tip angle α, and these requirements cannot be satisfied under conventional machining accuracy. However, under conditions in which the drills 101 and 102 are guided by guide tubes 107 and 108 to improve the precision of the machining position using the relatively long drills 101 and 102, the tip angle α
By setting the angle between 90 and 120 degrees, it becomes possible to balance and satisfy the above two contradictory requirements.

In FIG. 11, curve A shows the life of the piercing punch with respect to the tip angle α, and curve B shows the change in the ratio l/d of the shear surface length l of the small diameter hole to the inner diameter d of the small diameter hole with respect to the tip angle α. Here, the target level is that the lifespan of the piercing punch is 1000 shots or more, and the l/d is 1 or more.In order to satisfy these conditions, the tip angle α must be 90 to 120 degrees as shown in Figure 11. It is good if it is within the range of . When the tip angle α is determined in this way, the piercing punch 56,
Not only will the lifespan of 57 be satisfactory,
The precision of the small diameter holes 28, 30 is also satisfactory.

After drilling the large diameter holes 29 and 31 in this manner, by moving the cam slider 73 toward the tip side, the piercing punches 56 and 57 are made to protrude toward the wall of the cylinder body 1, and the small diameter holes 28 and
Punch out 30. As a result, the large diameter holes 29, 31
The small diameter holes 28 and 31 are coaxially connected to form first and second return ports 22 and 26,
Curved shaping of the inner end peripheral edges of the first and second return ports 23 and 26 is also performed at the same time.

At this time, since the cylinder body 1 is substantially integrated with the insert 37 with its circumferential and axial positions determined, the piercing punches 56 and 57 are perpendicular to the wall of the cylinder body 1. It operates in the direction. Therefore, it is possible to avoid bending force acting on the piercing punches 56, 57, and to prevent damage to the piercing punches 56, 57 as much as possible, thereby improving the life of the piercing punches 56, 57. be able to. Moreover, even if the length of the perforation part 70 in each piercing punch 56, 57 is made relatively long, it is possible to prevent breakage as much as possible, and only the tips need to be polished when repolishing the piercing punches 56, 57. , there is no need to modify the curved step portion 71. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform re-polishing at low cost.

After the punching process of the earring punches 56 and 57 is completed, the cam slider 73 moves toward the rear side,
Each piercing punch 56, 57 is returned within the insert 37. Then, the insertion member 37 is pulled out from inside the cylinder body 1 to release the clamped state of the cylinder body 1 by the punch unit 40 and the clamp unit 41, thereby completing the series of drilling operations.

By expanding the diameter of the tip of the insert 37 and positioning it in this manner, the radial position of the insert 37 within the bottomed hole 5 can be reliably determined even if the outer diameter of the insert 37 is relatively small. This makes it easier to insert and remove the insert 37 into the bottomed hole 5, and prevents scratches from being caused by the insert 37 on the inner surface of the bottomed hole 5 during insertion and removal.

FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the insert body 37 has a coaxially protruding shaft portion 120 having a tapered outer surface that becomes larger in diameter toward the front. A plurality of diameter-enlarging pieces 121 having an inner surface that slides on the outer surface of the shaft portion 120 is attached to the shaft portion 120 . A shaft portion 120 is provided on the outer surface of each expanded diameter piece 121.
A ring-shaped elastic member 12 is in sliding contact with the outer surface of the ring-shaped elastic member 12.
2 are wound around each other, and the outer surface of each expanded diameter piece 121 has a cylindrical shape as a whole. Moreover, a synthetic resin abutment piece 123 is fixed to the outer surface of each enlarged diameter piece 121, respectively.

In this embodiment, when inserting the insert body 37 into the bottomed hole 5, each diameter expansion piece 121 is brought into contact with the closed end surface 5a of the bottomed hole 5 and pressed in the axial direction. The piece 121 expands radially outward against the spring force of the elastic member 122 and comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottomed hole 5 . Therefore, it is possible to achieve the same effects as in the embodiments described above.

FIG. 13 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, in which cam holes 74, 7 of a cam slider 73' are shown.
5 is formed so that when the cam slider 73' is moved forward, the piercing punches 56 and 57 are operated for punching, contrary to the previous embodiment.

At the tip of the cam slider 73', a shaft section 125 is provided which has an outer surface that becomes larger in diameter toward the front, and a plurality of diameter-enlarging pieces 121' each having an outer surface that makes sliding contact with the outer surface of the shaft section 125 is attached to the shaft section 125. be done. Furthermore, each diameter-enlarging piece 121' is urged radially inward by an elastic member 122', and an abutment piece 123' is fixed to the outer surface of each diameter-expanding piece 121'.

In this embodiment, when the cam slider 73' is moved forward, each piercing punch 5
As the punching operations 6 and 57 are performed, each diameter-expanding piece 121' expands radially outward and comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottomed hole 5. Therefore, the same effects as those of the above embodiments can be achieved, and
It can also be applied to holes that do not have closed end faces.

C. Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the method of the present invention, the diameter of the tip of the insert is enlarged to abut the inner surface of the hole, and the axial position of the insert is determined by receiving the insert at the open end surface of the workpiece. As a result, the workpiece and the insert are substantially integrated, and in this state, the piercing punch can always operate in a direction perpendicular to the wall of the workpiece, and a bending force is applied to the piercing punch. This makes it possible to prevent damage to the piercing punch by avoiding this as much as possible, and it also becomes possible to inexpensively repolish the piercing punch. In addition, the outer diameter of the insert body can be made relatively small to facilitate insertion into and removal from the hole, and it is possible to prevent scratches from forming on the inner surface of the hole during insertion and removal. Furthermore, the gap between the insert and the inner surface of the hole can be made uniform over the entire circumference, resulting in more accurate positioning.
