Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tractor rear axle housing processing equipment, specifically a tractor rear axle housing processing positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] As a core load-bearing and transmission component in the tractor chassis system, the rear axle housing typically has a slender cylindrical or irregularly shaped structure. Both ends and the middle section are equipped with precision holes for mounting key transmission components such as bearings and half-shafts. The machining accuracy of these holes directly determines the assembly quality, transmission efficiency, and service life of the rear axle assembly. Therefore, high-precision and high-efficiency hole machining is crucial in the manufacturing process of the rear axle housing.
[0003] Currently, the common method used in the industry for boring tractor rear axle housings is to clamp and fix them from both ends. While this traditional clamping method provides a certain positioning reference and clamping force, it has the following significant drawbacks in actual machining:
[0004] Limited machining area necessitates multiple fixture changes: Because the fixture clamps from both ends of the housing, the fixture body inevitably obstructs or occupies machining space near the holes at both ends of the housing. This means that in a single clamping state, boring can usually only be performed on the holes located in the middle of the housing. When machining holes at both ends of the housing is required, the current fixture must be disassembled and replaced or adjusted to another fixture specifically for machining end holes, or the workpiece must be re-clamped and positioned. The aforementioned process of repeatedly disassembling and replacing fixtures and repositioning the workpiece is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also requires a high level of skill from the operator, making it prone to clamping errors due to human factors. Frequent fixture changes severely disrupt the continuous machining process, significantly reducing the overall boring efficiency. At the same time, the conversion of positioning references during multiple clamping processes inevitably introduces repetitive positioning errors. The accumulation of these errors affects the relative positional accuracy between different hole systems, posing a potential threat to the final assembly performance of the rear axle housing. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a tractor rear axle housing machining and positioning device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a tractor rear axle housing processing and positioning device, comprising a base; the number of bases is two, the two bases are symmetrically arranged left and right, a base is provided on the upper surface of the base, a positioning groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base, a hinge bracket one and a hinge bracket two are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base, the hinge bracket one is rotatably connected to an L-shaped clamping plate through a pin shaft one, the hinge bracket two is rotatably connected to an arc-shaped pressure plate through a pin shaft two, a hydraulic telescopic rod one for controlling its rotation around the pin shaft one is installed on the hinge bracket one, and a hydraulic telescopic rod two for controlling its rotation around the pin shaft two is installed on the arc-shaped pressure plate.
[0007] Preferably, the base is fixed to the base by bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the inner side of the positioning groove has the same shape as the outer side of both ends of the rear axle housing of the tractor to be processed.
[0009] Preferably, each of the bases has two hinge brackets one and two hinge brackets two on its upper surface, and the two hinge brackets one and two hinge brackets two are arranged symmetrically front and back.
[0010] Preferably, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer side of the L-shaped clamp by bolts.
[0011] Preferably, the arc-shaped pressure plate is fixedly connected to a positioning clamping block by bolts located at the upper end of its outer side surface.
[0012] Preferably, the fixed end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is mounted on the outer side of the base via a hinge support, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to the outer end of the L-shaped clamp via the hinge support.
[0013] Preferably, the fixed end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod is mounted on the outer side of the base via a hinge support, and the telescopic end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to the outer end of the arc-shaped pressure plate via the hinge support.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0015] 1. This device innovatively adopts a clamping and fixing method from the side of the rear axle housing. This structure completely avoids the obstruction of the two ends and the middle area of the housing, so that the mounting holes at both ends of the housing and the mounting hole of the main reducer in the center are fully exposed after one clamping. Therefore, without disassembling the workpiece or changing the fixture in the middle, the boring of all key holes can be completed continuously under the same clamping state, which fundamentally solves the problem of limited processing area and forced division of process caused by traditional two-end clamping.
[0016] 2. The device adopts a hydraulic telescopic rod to drive the clamping mechanism, which realizes the fast and automated clamping action. The operator only needs to control the pneumatic system to complete the positioning, clamping and releasing of the workpiece, which greatly shortens the auxiliary clamping time and effectively improves the overall efficiency of boring operation.
[0017] 3. The machining of all key holes is completed in one clamping, which minimizes the inevitable repeated positioning errors during multiple clamping processes. The design of the positioning groove and the outer side of both ends of the housing are consistent. Combined with the stable clamping force provided by the L-shaped clamping plate, the arc-shaped pressure plate and the optional positioning clamping block, the positioning reference of the workpiece is consistent and stable throughout the entire machining process.
