  • Patent number: 11318544
    Abstract: The invention relates to a double-sided drilling fixture for die-forged pistons and a double-sided drilling process thereof. It overcomes the defects of low efficiency and accuracy of the double-sided drilling operation for die-forged pistons in the prior art. The invention comprises a die-forged piston, a fixture base assembly, an upper load-resisting assembly and a lower expansion-resisting assembly. The upper load-resisting assembly is installed on the fixture base assembly and disposed above the die-forged piston. A fixation base, whose upper surface shape is the same as internal surface shape of the die-forged piston, is installed above the fixture base assembly. The die-forged piston is sleeved on the fixation base. The invention achieves simultaneous drilling on both sides of the two rear skirt surfaces of die-forged pistons and delivers quick clamping and automatic fixation, significantly reducing the difficulty in the assembly of drilling plate and workpiece and increasing the alignment accuracy.
