Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a combination tooling and machining method for rapid clamping of hydraulic chucks. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic chucks are commonly used for clamping and machining parts. However, due to the large number of teeth and small tooth pitch of the jaws as they move axially within the chuck, the part must be placed at the center of the chuck during operation, and multiple adjustments must be made using a depth gauge to ensure that the three jaws move the same distance. This means the center point of the clamped part must be aligned with the center point of the chuck, preventing misalignment. Repeatedly adjusting the jaws' movement consumes a significant amount of preparation time, and readjustment is required for parts of different specifications, resulting in low overall machining efficiency. Therefore, a combination tooling that enables rapid clamping with a chuck is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a combination tooling for quick clamping of a hydraulic chuck includes a hydraulic chuck 2, a three-jaw 3, and a V-shaped combination tooling 1 designed for quick clamping and fixing based on the shape of the hydraulic chuck 2 and the movement mode of the three-jaw 3.
[0032] Furthermore, the V-shaped assembly tooling 1 is mainly composed of an upper V-shaped clamp 4, a lower V-shaped clamp 5, and a positioning strip 6.
[0033] The V-shaped upper clamp 4 is made of hard aluminum alloy and is manufactured according to the shape of the hydraulic chuck 2, with the two fitting tightly together. The V-shaped upper clamp 4 is symmetrical about its central axis; the V-shaped upper clamp 4 is provided with a circular arc groove 41 manufactured in accordance with the shape.
[0034] The V-shaped upper clamp 4 is formed by wire cutting and is formed by the intersection of a first arc edge 43 and two first inclined edges 42; the intersection of the two first inclined edges 42 is located on the central axis of the hydraulic chuck 2.
[0035] The upper V-shaped clamp 4 is provided with four first threaded holes 44 for screw connection with the lower V-shaped clamp 5.
[0036] The V-shaped lower clamp 5 is manufactured by mimicking the shape of the V-shaped upper clamp 4. The V-shaped lower clamp 5 is made of hard aluminum alloy and is symmetrical about the central axis. The shape of the V-shaped lower clamp 5 is formed by wire cutting and is formed by the intersection of the second arc edge 53 and two second inclined edges 52. The intersection of the two second inclined edges 52 is located on the central axis of the hydraulic chuck 2.
[0037] The V-shaped lower clamp 5 is provided with four second threaded holes 55, the positions of which match the positions of the four first threaded holes 44, so as to realize the V-shaped upper clamp 4 and the V-shaped lower clamp 5 through screw engagement.
[0038] Furthermore, a movable groove 54 is provided in the middle of the V-shaped lower clamp 5. The movable groove 54 is composed of a semi-circular arc 541 and a straight edge 542, with the semi-circular arc 541 and the straight edge 542 being tangent. A limiting hole 51 is provided at the upper end of the movable groove 54. The limiting hole 51 is a threaded hole, which is used to position the positioning strip 6 by means of a screw. The diameter of the positioning strip 6 is approximately smaller than the diameter of the semi-circular arc 541, and the two are in clearance fit.
[0039] The positioning strip 6 is made of alloy steel. Scale lines 61 are set on the surface of the positioning strip 6 by laser engraving, with the bottom end being the starting point and the scale being zero. The bottom end of the positioning strip 6 is circular in shape to avoid scratching the operator.
[0040] A machining method for a combination tooling for quick clamping of a hydraulic chuck, comprising the following steps:
[0041] Step 1: The fixture is made of cemented carbide. In this invention, the shape of the fixture is related to the diameter of the metal wire in the wire electrical discharge machining. The machine tool uses φ0.2mm molybdenum wire for machining. To prevent the wire electrical discharge from burning the surface of the part, external liquid cooling is used to fully cool the workpiece. In addition, the wire electrical discharge machining is a non-contact discharge machining. There is no macroscopic cutting force between the tool electrode and the workpiece, and there will be no error caused by mechanical deformation. To ensure the surface quality and machining efficiency of the formed workpiece, a positive polarity machining method is used.
[0042] Step 2: Set the machining parameters: machining current 3-5A, pulse width 30-50μs, duty cycle 1:5-1:7. These parameters ensure high dimensional accuracy of the machined fixture and the formation of a molten metal layer on its surface. This molten metal layer effectively protects the operator from prolonged contact that could lead to aluminum alloy passivation.
[0043] Step 3: Based on the processing method used in Step 1 and the processing parameters set in Step 2, process the V-shaped upper clamp 4 and V-shaped lower clamp 5 from the cemented carbide material used in Step 1, install the V-shaped upper clamp 4 on the hydraulic chuck 2, and then install the V-shaped lower clamp 5 on the V-shaped upper clamp 4.
[0044] Step 4: Make the positioning strip 6 using alloy steel, and make scale lines 61 on the surface of the positioning strip 6 by laser engraving, with the lower end as the starting point and the scale being zero.
[0045] Step 5: Install the positioning strip 6 into the moving groove 54. Calculate the movement value L using the theoretical overall length formula: L=R1+R2+h1. After moving the positioning strip 6 a specific distance, fix the positioning strip 6 with screws at the position of the limiting hole 51.
[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely prisms of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
