Abstract

A groove processing device, which processes a cylinder groove to an inner circumference of a cylinder to protrude from an inner circumferential surface toward an outer circumferential surface side and extend in a center line direction of the cylinder, includes: a first groove processing unit that process both end portions of the cylinder groove in a circumferential direction thereof, and a second groove processing unit that processes a center portion of the cylinder groove in the circumferential direction thereof, wherein an outermost circumferential portion of each of the first groove processing unit and the second groove processing unit being formed to be a chevron shape so that a center portion thereof in the circumferential direction of the cylinder protrudes, and an inclination angle from a vertex portion in the outermost circumferential portion of the first groove processing unit is larger than that of the second groove processing unit.

Claims (5)

1. A groove processing device for processing a cylinder groove to an inner circumference of a cylinder, the cylinder groove protruding from an inner circumferential surface toward an outer circumferential surface side and extending in a direction of a center line of the cylinder, the device comprising:

a groove processing member that moves in the direction of the center line while contacting the inner circumference of the cylinder, the groove processing member including a first groove processing portion and a second groove processing portion in a single body, the first groove processing portion processing both end portions of the cylinder groove in a circumferential direction thereof, and the second groove processing portion processing a center portion of the cylinder groove in the circumferential direction thereof,

wherein an outermost circumferential portion of each of the first groove processing portion and the second groove processing portion is formed to be a chevron shape so that a center portion thereof in the circumferential direction of the cylinder protrudes, and an inclination angle from a vertex portion in the outermost circumferential portion of the first groove processing portion is larger than an inclination angle from a vertex portion in the outermost circumferential portion of the second groove processing portion.

2. A groove processing method for processing a cylinder groove to an inner circumference of a cylinder, the cylinder groove protruding from an inner circumferential surface toward an outer circumferential surface side and extending in a direction of a center line of the cylinder, the method comprising:

moving a groove processing member in the direction of the center line while causing the groove processing member to contact the inner circumference of the cylinder, the groove processing member including two groove processing portions in a single body, each of which being formed to be a chevron shape so that a center portion thereof in the circumferential direction of the cylinder protrudes, and an inclination angle from a vertex portion in one of the groove processing portions is smaller than an inclination angle from a vertex portion in the other one of the groove processing portions.
