Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] To address the problems of low efficiency and poor processing quality in manual machining processes in existing technologies, this invention provides an internal thread machining device, comprising: a fixed connecting plate 22, with a fixing hole 221 in the middle for mounting in a groove of a workbench 1; a first positioning block 21, with a first connecting hole 212 in the vertical direction, wherein when the first connecting hole 212 corresponds to the fixing hole 221, the first positioning block 21 is fixedly connected to the fixed connecting plate 22 via a connector 23; the top surface of the first positioning block 21 is inclined, and the side surface has a first positioning hole 211, wherein when the workpiece to be drilled is inserted into the groove of the first positioning block 21, the first positioning block 21 is fixedly connected to the fixed connecting plate 22 via a connector 23; the top surface of the first positioning block 21 is inclined, and the side surface has a first positioning hole 211, wherein when the slot of the workpiece to be drilled is engaged... A positioning block 21 is provided, and when the side hole 101 of the workpiece to be drilled corresponds to the first positioning hole 211, the workpiece to be drilled is connected to the first positioning block 21 through the positioning member; a second positioning block is provided, and a second connecting hole 242 is provided in the vertical direction of the second positioning block. When the second connecting hole 242 corresponds to the fixing hole 221, the second positioning block is fixedly connected to the fixed connecting plate 22 through the connecting member 23; a second positioning hole 241 is provided on the side of the second positioning block. When the slot of the workpiece to be drilled is installed in the second positioning block, and the side hole 101 of the workpiece to be drilled corresponds to the second positioning hole 241, the workpiece to be drilled is connected to the second positioning block through the positioning member.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the workpiece provided by existing technology. Figure 1 The image shows the side structure of the workpiece, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, each side of the workpiece has four side holes 101, and the top of the workpiece is curved. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the workpiece from another perspective, provided by existing technology. Figure 2 The top surface structure of the workpiece is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, two internal threaded holes 102 form a group, and the completed workpiece includes three groups of internal threaded holes. Figure 2 In the middle, there are internal threaded hole groups located on both sides and between the two internal threaded hole groups, that is, the internal threaded hole group located in the middle of the workpiece. The internal threaded hole group located at the top needs to be opened concentrically. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a workpiece provided by existing technology, such as... Figure 3 As shown, there is a space between the two sides of the workpiece, hereinafter referred to as a slot, which can be mounted on the first positioning component or the second positioning component.

[0035] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal thread processing device provided in this embodiment of the invention during use, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the internal thread processing device 2 needs to be fixed on the worktable 1 for use. After the internal thread processing device is fixed, the workpiece to be drilled is limited on the internal thread processing device, thereby controlling the drill bit of the machine tool to drill from the top of the internal thread hole 102 of the workpiece to be drilled, thereby improving the drilling efficiency. Moreover, because the workpiece to be drilled is precisely limited, the quality of the formed workpiece is improved.

[0036] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal thread processing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is actually a schematic diagram showing the connection between the first positioning block 21 and the fixed connecting plate 22. The connection between the second positioning block and the fixed connecting plate 22 is similar. Figure 5 Similar. For example... Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the fixed connecting plate 22 is disposed in the groove of the workbench 1. When the first connecting hole 212 of the first positioning block 21 corresponds to the fixing hole 221 of the fixed connecting plate 22, the connecting piece 23 can pass through the first connecting hole 212 and connect to the fixing hole 221, thereby fixing the first positioning block 21 and the fixed connecting plate 22 relative to each other. After the fixed connecting plate 22 is connected to the first positioning block 21, the slot of the workpiece to be drilled is locked on the first positioning block 21, and the workpiece to be drilled is moved until the side hole 101 of the workpiece to be drilled corresponds to the first positioning hole 211 of the first positioning block 21. At this time, the positioning piece is inserted, thereby completing the relative fixing of the workpiece to be drilled and the first positioning block 21. Since the top surface of the workpiece to be drilled is arc-shaped, the internal thread holes 102 on both sides need to be set concentrically, that is, not vertically relative to the plane of the workbench 1. Therefore, the top surface of the first positioning block 21 is adaptively tilted according to the concentric angle of the internal thread holes 102. The side of the workpiece to be drilled that is inclined upwards near the top surface of the first positioning block 21 is designated as the machining side, and the top drill bit is used for drilling. After the two internal threaded holes 102 on this side are drilled, the orientation of the workpiece to be drilled is reversed to complete the drilling of the internal threaded holes 102 on the other side.

[0037] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13As shown, after the second positioning block and the fixed connecting plate 22 are fixed through the second connecting hole 242 and the fixing hole 221, the second positioning block and the workpiece to be drilled are fixed relative to each other in the same way as the above fixing method (connected to the side hole 101 of the workpiece to be drilled through the second positioning hole 241). The top surface of the second positioning block is a plane, which is suitable for machining the internal thread hole 102 in the middle of the workpiece to be drilled. Therefore, after the second positioning block is fixed to the workpiece to be drilled, the drill bit can be controlled to drill the two internal thread holes 102 in the middle position.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the fixing hole 221 is a threaded hole; both the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 242 are threaded holes.

[0039] To facilitate the connection and disassembly of the fixed connecting plate 22 with the first positioning block 21 and the second positioning block, the fixing hole 221, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 242 in this embodiment are all threaded holes.

[0040] As an optional implementation, the first connecting hole 212 includes a countersunk hole and a threaded through hole, which are arranged sequentially from the top to the bottom of the first positioning block 21. The countersunk hole and the threaded through hole are coaxial, and the diameter of the countersunk hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded through hole. The second connecting hole 242 includes a countersunk hole and a threaded through hole, which are arranged sequentially from the top to the bottom of the second positioning block. The countersunk hole and the threaded through hole are coaxial, and the diameter of the countersunk hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded through hole.

[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting hole 212 includes a countersunk hole at the top and a threaded through hole communicating with the countersunk hole. The two are coaxial. The diameter of the countersunk hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded through hole. When the connector 23 enters the first connecting hole 212, it can be limited by the countersunk hole and connect the first positioning block 21 to the fixed connecting plate 22.

[0042] like Figure 11 As shown, the second connecting hole 242 also includes a countersunk hole at the top and a threaded through hole communicating with the countersunk hole. The two are coaxial. The diameter of the countersunk hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded through hole. When the connector 23 enters the second connecting hole 242, it can be limited by the countersunk hole and connect the second positioning block to the fixed connecting plate 22.

[0043] As an alternative implementation, the connector 23 is a screw.

[0044] The positioning element is a standard M10 threaded screw.

[0045] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first positioning block 21 has two first positioning holes 211 on its side, and the two first positioning holes 211 are located at the same horizontal height on the side of the first positioning block 21.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the first positioning block 21 has two first positioning holes 211 on its side, and the two first positioning holes 211 are located at the same horizontal height. During positioning, the two positioning components can be used for positioning at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the fixation between the first positioning block 21 and the workpiece to be drilled.

[0047] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second positioning block has four second positioning holes 241 on its side. Two second positioning holes 241 form a group. Two positioning holes in any group are located at the same horizontal height on the side of the second positioning block. The two groups of positioning holes are located at different horizontal heights on the side of the second positioning block.

[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the second positioning block has four second positioning holes 241 on its side, two of which are at the same horizontal level, and the other two are at another horizontal level. During positioning, multiple positioning components can be used simultaneously, thereby improving the stability of the fixation between the second positioning block and the workpiece to be drilled.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the positioning element is a pin.

[0050] The pin is a standard Φ8.5 pin.

[0051] As an optional implementation, the parallelism of the two sides of the first positioning block 21 is no greater than 0.02 mm.

[0052] The two opposite sides of the first positioning block 21 need to be finished by grinding, and the parallelism requirement is ≤0.02mm.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the parallelism of the two sides of the second positioning block is no greater than 0.02 mm.

[0054] The two opposite sides of the second positioning block need to be finished by grinding, and their parallelism requirement is ≤0.02mm.

[0055] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the groove of workbench 1 is a T-shaped groove.

[0056] The operating method of the internal thread machining device is as follows:

[0059] 3. Insert a standard pin with a diameter of 8.5 into the hole (to restrict the longitudinal movement of the workpiece to be drilled).

[0060] 4. Use a radial drilling machine to complete the machining of 2-M10 internal threads.

[0061] 5. Pull out the Φ8.5 locating pin.
