A method and a device for removing the chips of a connecting rod. The large end part of the connecting rod is placed on the step part of a pedestal, and the small end part thereof is placed on a pedestal formed of a vibration damping material. An air vibrator is energized to continuously supply compressed air to vibrate the large end part together with the pedestal until the vibrated large end part is brought into contact with a contact plate member. When chips fall from the rod body and the cap part of the connecting rod, the chips are collected to a transparent collection bag through a suction hose by a dust collector. The operations above are performed in a sound isolation box closed by a cover member. Then, the chips are separated from the broken-out sections of the rod body and the cap part by using, for example, a brush.
A method of removing a fragment from a connecting rod obtained by forming a one-piece rod containing a shank, a smaller end provided at one end of said shank and having a first through hole, and a larger end wider than said smaller end provided at another end of said shank and having a second through hole larger than said first through hole, and cracking said larger end to form a rod body and a cap, the method comprising the steps of:
