The diameter of the boss a is matched with the groove width of the T-shaped groove on the surface of the workbench. A spring is arranged in the mandrel. One end of the spring touches the transition surface of the inner diameter dimension of the mandrel, and the upper part of the spring touches the bolt head of the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt passes through the spring and is connected to the T-shaped nut.

[0008] Threads are arranged on the outer cylindrical surface of the thinner part of the mandrel. The diameter of the thicker part of the mandrel is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole a in the middle part of the base.

[0009] An axial keyway a is arranged on the outer cylindrical surface of the thicker part of the mandrel. An axial keyway b is arranged on the inner side of the through hole a of the base.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0026] The structure of the fixture for milling the valve body groove of the shear pin type safety valve of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown, and it includes a workbench 1. A plurality of parallel T-shaped grooves are provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1. A T-nut 8 is provided in the T-shaped groove. A base 2 is provided on the workbench 1. A through hole a perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 2 is provided in the middle part of the base 2. A mandrel 9 is arranged in the through hole a.

[0027] The mandrel 9 is a cylindrical structure that is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. The inner diameter of the bottom of the mandrel 9 is smaller than the inner diameter of its upper part. A boss a is provided at the bottom end of the mandrel 9. The diameter of the boss a matches the groove width of the T-shaped groove on the surface of the workbench 1. The cooperation between the boss a and the T-shaped groove of the workbench 1 plays a limiting role. A spring 10 is installed in the mandrel 9. One end of the spring 10 touches the transition surface of the inner diameter dimension of the mandrel 9, and the upper part of the spring 10 touches the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 11. The adjusting bolt 11 passes through the spring 10 and is connected to the T-nut 8.

[0028] Through slots a are provided at both ends of the base 2. An eccentric wheel 3 perpendicular to the mandrel 9 is connected in the through slot a through a pin shaft 15. The eccentric wheel 3 slightly protrudes from the bottom surface of the base 2. A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the eccentric wheel 3. The handle 4 is perpendicular to the connection line between the center point and the rotation point of the eccentric wheel 3, and the rotation point of the eccentric wheel 3 is located closer to the through hole a of the base 2. Hole retaining rings 14 are provided at both ends of the pin shaft 15.

[0029] A boss b is provided on the side surface of the base 2 close to the through hole a. The boss b is connected to the L-shaped limit block 6 through a threaded pin shaft 7 for cooperation with the base 2 for limiting. The longitudinal section of the L-shaped limit block 6 is L-shaped, and a pair of connecting pairs are provided on its side surface. The two connecting pairs are connected to the boss b through the threaded pin shaft 7.

[0030] The diameter of the thinner part at the upper part of the mandrel 9 is adapted to the inner diameter of the vertical threaded hole of the valve body 5 to be machined. Threads are provided on the outer circular surface of the thinner part of the mandrel 9. The diameter of the thicker part of the mandrel 9 is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole a in the middle part of the base 2. An axial keyway a is provided on the outer circular surface of the thicker part of the mandrel 9. An axial keyway b is provided on the inner side of the through hole a of the base 2. The guide key 12 is simultaneously in the keyway a and the keyway b, and the guide key 12 is fixedly connected to the keyway a.

[0031] The method for machining the valve body groove using the fixture for milling the valve body groove of the present invention is as follows, specifically including the following steps:

[0032] Step 1, machine the vertical threaded holes, horizontal threaded holes and end faces on the valve body 5;

[0033] Step 2, fix the mandrel 9 on the workbench 1, align its axis as the coordinate origin, install the base 2 assembly on the mandrel 9, perform tool setting on the A reference plane on the base 2, which is the upper surface of the base 2, and compile the machining program;

[0034] Step 3, as Figure 4 shown, install the vertical threaded hole of the valve body 5 with the to-be-machined groove machined in Step 1 on the mandrel 9, manually screw the thread to make the lower end face of the vertical threaded hole of the valve body 5 fit with the upper surface of the base 2, that is, fit with the A reference plane. Rotate the L-shaped limit block 6 so that its end face is simultaneously flush with both sides of the circular end face of the horizontal threaded hole of the valve body 5. If one end is not flush, rotate the valve body 5 in the reverse direction until both end faces are flush. At this time, it can be determined that the valve body 5 has been aligned, and the L-shaped limit block 6 restricts the rotation of the valve body 5. Pull the handles 4 on both sides of the base 2 to rotate the eccentric wheel 3 to drive the base 2 to rise and tightly hold the valve body 5;

[0035] Step 4, call the preset machining program to machine the groove;

[0036] Step 5, after machining the groove of the valve body 5, pull the handles 4 on both sides of the base 2 to rotate the eccentric wheel 3 to drive the base 2 to descend, loosen the valve body 5, and rotate to remove the valve body 5.

[0037] The machine tool is an ordinary vertical milling machine, boring machine or vertical machining center, CNC boring machine.

[0038] Set the axis of the mandrel 9 as the machine tool coordinate origin, and the A reference plane of the base 2 is the tool setting reference when the device of the present invention is connected to the machine tool. The B reference plane on the L-shaped limit block 6 is the alignment reference, and the B reference plane is the end face of the L-shaped limit block. Since the distance from the A reference plane to the machining surface at the bottom of the valve body groove is a fixed value, during machining, only the valve body 5 needs to be aligned and tightly held, call the preset program, and perform machining by walking the coordinates.

[0039] The fixture for milling the valve body groove of the present invention can realize the milling machining of valve body grooves of various specifications, has a compact structure, is safe and reliable, and is convenient to use. It solves the problems of difficult clamping and alignment during the machining of valve body grooves, and meets the design requirements of the dimensions, geometric tolerances and surface quality of the valve body grooves. It effectively guarantees the dimensions and geometric tolerances of the valve body grooves, improves the surface quality and machining efficiency, and provides a new idea and method for the machining of valve body grooves.
