Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of chord processing equipment, and in particular relates to an indexable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling processing of a fixed-length chord. Background Art

[0002] In the tower crane industry, chords are typically long, square steel tube welded parts. The chords consist of square steel tubes, onto which are fixedly mounted lugs, several third connecting plates, treads, angle steel, lugs, railing connecting plates, and other components. Different types of chords have different components fixed to the square steel tubes, and require assembly in groups of four fixed-length chords. This places high demands on the hole spacing and positional accuracy of the chord's end faces and connecting holes. In particular, the vertical connecting holes at both ends of the chord require inspection using a 90° special inspection fixture. Existing technology fixes the chords using existing clamping methods. When drilling holes in different directions, the chords can only be removed from the existing fixture and reinstalled by rotating the chords, which is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to design a reversible fixture for the chords that can accommodate multiple chords at once while also achieving rotational positioning of the chords.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two directional rods, and one end of each of the two directional rods is connected to the movable end of the directional oil cylinder through the same second connecting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord. The axial positioning mechanism axially positions the chord through the third connecting plate and the stepping plate, and places the chord on the positioning reference blocks of the three sets of positioning clamping mechanisms. The upper pressing mechanism and the side positioning structure can respectively give the chord a downward and backward force, so that the bottom surface and the back surface of the chord are respectively aligned with the reference surface of the corresponding positioning reference block, so that the chord cannot move in the front-back direction and the up-down direction. Finally, the axial positioning mechanism can axially position the chord through the third connecting plate and the stepping plate of the chord, so that the chord The rod cannot move in the left and right directions. The rotation and fixation of the rotating inner ring can be achieved through the steering mechanism and the directional mechanism. The rotation and fixation of one rotating inner ring can make the other rotating inner rings rotate and fix through the first connecting plate, thereby driving the chord rod to rotate, and thus facilitating further processing of the chord rod. Compared with the existing chord rod clamp, the rotating inner ring provided in the present invention can be rotated by the steering mechanism and fixed by the directional mechanism, thereby realizing rotation positioning after the chord rod is installed, thereby facilitating subsequent processing and being more convenient to use.

[0016] 2. The present invention provides an indexable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord. The two clamping cylinders of the centering clamping device can further center and clamp the chord, making the chord clamped and fixed more firmly.

[0017] 3. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of fixed-length chord rods. The directional mechanism consists of a first mounting plate, a directional oil cylinder, a directional rod and a plurality of directional holes. The first mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the corresponding fixed outer ring, and the plurality of directional holes are evenly distributed on the corresponding rotating inner ring. The directional oil cylinder is controlled to extend, and the directional rod can be driven to move through the second connecting plate, so that the directional rod is moved out of the directional hole. After the rotating inner ring is driven to rotate through the steering mechanism, the directional oil cylinder is controlled to contract, and the directional rod can be inserted into the directional hole aligned with it, thereby realizing orientation. The directional mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0018] 4. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of fixed-length chord rods. The orienting mechanism consists of a first mounting plate, an orienting oil cylinder, an orienting rod and several orienting holes. The first mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the corresponding fixed outer ring, and the several orienting holes are evenly distributed on the corresponding rotating inner ring. The orienting oil cylinder is controlled to extend, and the orienting rod can be driven to move through the second connecting plate, so that the orienting rod is moved out of the orienting hole. Compared with orienting with one orienting rod, orienting with two orienting rods is more secure and can withstand greater force.

[0019] 5. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord rod, which controls the rotation of a steering motor. The rotation of the steering motor can drive the rotation of the rotating inner ring through a gear arc rack transmission structure. The structure of the steering mechanism is simple and easy to produce.

[0020] The cam is fixedly mounted on the drive means, wherein the cam is secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the drive means and the cam is secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the drive means.

[0021] 7. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord. The movable end of the side positioning cylinder contacts the front of the chord, which can give the chord a backward force, thereby causing the back of the chord to contact the side positioning surface of the positioning reference block, thereby realizing the rear positioning and fixation of the chord.

[0022] 8. The present invention provides an example of an indexable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord. When drilling a hole in the end of the chord, the existing drilling equipment will give the end of the chord a forward and backward pushing force, which can easily cause the chord to separate from the positioning surface of the positioning reference block. The side push fixing cylinder can further fix the chord and share the force of the side positioning mechanism and the upper clamping mechanism.

[0023] 9. An example of the present invention is a rotatable fixture for realizing automatic drilling and milling of a fixed-length chord rod, wherein the third connecting plate on the chord rod without a tread plate is clamped between the second mounting plate on the right side, and the handle is pushed to the left to compress the spring, so that the positioning block can be pushed out of the corresponding slot. The rotating handle can drive the positioning block to rotate through the connecting shaft, thereby causing the positioning block and the slot to be misaligned. After releasing the handle, under the elastic force of the spring, the right side of the positioning block fits into the inner side of the right plate of the second mounting plate on the right side, controlling the extension of the axial positioning cylinder on the right side, and the movable end of the axial positioning cylinder contacts the left side of the third connecting plate and pushes the right side of the third connecting plate to contact the positioning block, thereby realizing the positioning of the chord rod without a tread plate. When positioning the chord rod with a tread plate, the hand needs to be rotated. The handle aligns the positioning block with the slot, and under the action of the elastic force of the spring, the positioning block is received in the slot. When the chord rod needs to be axially positioned through the left tread, it is only necessary to adjust the positioning bolt on the left to control the extension of the axial positioning cylinder on the left. The axial positioning cylinder on the left can push the chord rod to the left through the third connecting plate, thereby enabling the left tread to contact the positioning bolt on the left, thereby realizing the chord rod positioning of the left tread. Conversely, if the chord rod needs to be axially positioned through the right tread, according to the above description, it is sufficient to adjust the positioning bolt and the axial positioning cylinder on the right. The axial positioning mechanism can respectively position the chord rods with and without treads, and can perform chord rod positioning work on treads in different positions, and has strong applicability.

The first mounting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding fixed outer ring 5, and several directional holes 14 are evenly distributed on the rotating inner ring 7. The directional cylinder 12 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting plate 11, and the movable end of the directional cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the directional rod 13 through the second connecting plate. The directional rod 13 passes through the first mounting plate 11 and is clearance-fitted. The directional rod 13 can be inserted into the directional hole 14 and contact-fitted. The orientation mechanism is composed of a first mounting plate 11, an orientation cylinder 12, an orientation rod 13 and several orientation holes 14.

The orientation cylinder 12 is controlled to extend, and the orientation rod 13 can be driven to move through the second connecting plate, so that the orientation rod 13 is moved out of the orientation hole 14. After the rotating inner ring 7 is driven to rotate by the steering mechanism, the orientation cylinder 12 is controlled to contract, and the orientation rod 13 can be inserted into the orientation hole 14 aligned with it, thereby achieving orientation. The orientation mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, further preferably, there are two directional rods 13, one end of each of the two directional rods 13 is connected to the movable end of the directional oil cylinder 12 through the same second connecting plate, and the other end of each of the directional rods 13 is a truncated cone structure, which facilitates the insertion of the directional rods 13 into the corresponding directional holes 14. The directional mechanism is composed of a first mounting plate 11, a directional oil cylinder 12, a directional rod 13 and a plurality of directional holes 14. The first mounting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding fixed outer ring 5, and the plurality of directional holes 14 are evenly distributed on the rotating inner ring 7. The directional oil cylinder 12 is controlled to extend, and the directional rods 13 can be driven to move through the second connecting plate, so that the directional rods 13 are moved out of the directional holes 14.

The upper clamping mechanisms are arranged one in front and one behind on the rotating inner ring 7. The two groups of upper clamping mechanisms can respectively press down and position the front and rear parts of the top surface of the chord. By controlling the extension of the movable end of the upper clamping cylinder 16, one end of the clamping plate 17 can be lifted upward for a certain distance, thereby causing the other end of the clamping plate 17 to move downward, and then the bottom surface of the other end of the clamping plate 17 can be brought into contact with the top surface of the chord, thereby giving the chord a downward force, so that the bottom surface of the chord is brought into contact with the bottom positioning surface of the positioning reference block 8, thereby realizing the bottom positioning and fixation of the chord.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, further preferably, the side positioning mechanism is a side positioning cylinder 19, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating inner ring 7 and arranged in the front-to-back direction. The movable end of the side positioning cylinder 19 contacts the front of the chord, which can apply a backward force to the chord, thereby causing the rear of the chord to contact the side positioning surface of the positioning reference block 8, thereby achieving the rear positioning and fixation of the chord.

[0041] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, further preferably, a side-thrust fixing cylinder 20 is fixedly installed on the fixed outer ring 5 of the left positioning clamping mechanism 1 and the right positioning clamping mechanism 3. When drilling, existing drilling equipment will apply a forward and backward pushing force to the end of the chord, which easily causes the chord to separate from the positioning surface of the positioning reference block 8.

The positioning bolts 24 are fixedly mounted on the left positioning clamping mechanism 1 and the right positioning clamping mechanism 3. The bolts 24 pass through the corresponding positioning plates 23 and are threaded together. The bolt heads of the positioning bolts 24 are located on the opposite sides of the two positioning plates 23.

The movable end of the axial positioning cylinder 22 contacts the left side of the third connecting plate and pushes the right side of the third connecting plate to contact the positioning block 25, thereby realizing the positioning of the chord without the tread. When the chord with the tread is positioned, the handle 28 needs to be rotated to make the positioning block 25 Aligned with the slot, the positioning block 25 is retracted into the slot under the elastic force of the spring 27. When the chord rod needs to be axially positioned through the left tread, it is only necessary to adjust the positioning bolt 24 on the left to control the extension of the axial positioning cylinder 22 on the left. The axial positioning cylinder 22 on the left can push the chord rod to the left through the third connecting plate, thereby enabling the left tread to contact the positioning bolt 24 on the left, thereby achieving the chord rod positioning work of the left tread. Conversely, if the chord rod needs to be axially positioned through the right tread, according to the above description, it is sufficient to adjust the positioning bolt 24 and the axial positioning cylinder 22 on the right. This axial positioning mechanism can respectively position the chord rods with and without treads, and can position the chord rods of treads in different positions, and has strong applicability.
