Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of CNC machining quick clamping and positioning fixture equipment technology, specifically a locking structure for CNC machining quick clamping and positioning fixture. Background Technology

[0002] CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a high-precision machining method used to manufacture various parts and components. During this process, fixtures are required to maintain the stability and accuracy of the workpiece. CNC machining quick-clamping and positioning fixtures use locking structures to achieve rapid workpiece positioning and locking in CNC machining. A common CNC machining quick-clamping and positioning fixture locking structure includes a base, a clamp, and a positioning pin. Using this structure, the workpiece can be quickly placed in the desired position and fixed in place by the clamp.

[0003] However, this device may apply significant pressure to the workpiece during clamping, leading to localized deformation or warping. This is especially true for flexible workpieces or thin sheet materials, where the pressure applied during clamping can cause deformation or inaccurate machining results, thus affecting workpiece quality and manufacturing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a locking structure for a CNC machining quick clamping and positioning fixture, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to a locking structure for a CNC machining quick clamping and positioning fixture, comprising a base plate, with circular holes on both sides of the top of the base plate, main holes on both sides of the top of the base plate near the circular holes, first holes on both sides of the top of the base plate near the main holes, and a plurality of first locking holes on both sides of the top of the base plate near the first holes, with four first locking holes in total. The invention also includes a clamping and positioning locking mechanism, comprising a secondary structural block fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, with second holes at both ends of the top of the secondary structural block, the bottom of the second holes communicating with the top of the first holes. A reciprocating assembly is provided on one side of the top of the base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the reciprocating assembly includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base plate. The inner wall of the L-shaped plate has second locking holes at both ends. During installation, the main hole in the base plate aligns with the second main groove in the main structural block, the first hole in the base plate aligns with the second hole in the secondary structural block, the second locking hole in the L-shaped plate aligns with the first locking hole in the base plate, and the first precision hole in the main structural block aligns with the second precision hole in the cover plate. The opening of these holes greatly improves installation efficiency and accuracy, saving significant installation time. The bottom of the second locking hole is connected to the top of the first locking hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a cylinder is fixedly connected through and to one side of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate. Activating the cylinder causes the connecting rod to reciprocate, which in turn causes the connecting block to reciprocate, which in turn causes the push rod to reciprocate. One end of the push rod is supported by a secondary structural block, preventing it from falling off during movement. An arc-shaped groove on the top of the main structural block allows the push rod to move in a circular motion along its arc-shaped trajectory. A cover plate prevents the push rod from moving up and down. The cooperation between the secondary structural block and the cover plate makes the movement of the push rod more stable. Through the coordinated operation of these parts, it can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the flexibility and reliability of the CNC machining quick-clamping positioning fixture are improved. Operators can activate the cylinder to adjust the position as needed to adapt to different workpiece sizes and shapes, and maintain stability during processing. A hexagonal nut is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the L-shaped plate, with the inner wall of the hexagonal nut located on the outer wall of the cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, and a locking component is provided at one end of the connecting rod. The locking component includes a connecting block that passes through and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod passes through the connecting block and extends into the interior of the connecting block, and one end of the side wall of the connecting block is provided with an arc-shaped hole, which is arranged in two corresponding arc-shaped grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, a push rod is fitted and movably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped hole. This device uses the push rod for clamping, which reduces the pressure on the workpiece during operation and reduces the probability of local deformation or deformation. Especially for flexible workpieces or thin sheet materials, the reduced pressure during clamping can reduce the probability of deformation and improve the accuracy of workpiece processing. The device can also perform automated processing, eliminating the need for manual operation when the fixture is clamped on the left and right, thus improving production efficiency and avoiding clamping injuries caused by improper operation by workers. One end of the push rod is movably connected to the top middle of the secondary structural block, and auxiliary components are provided on the top of the base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes a main structural block fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base plate, with an arc-shaped groove on one side of the top of the main structural block and a first main groove on each of the two ends of the top of the main structural block.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner wall of the first main groove is connected to a second main groove, one end of which penetrates the main structural block and extends to the outside of the main structural block, and the bottom of the second main groove is connected to the top of the main hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the main structural block has first precision holes at both ends near the top of the first main groove. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the main structural block. The cover plate has second precision holes at both ends of its top. The bottom of the second precision hole is connected to the top of the first precision hole.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) In this invention, the cylinder is activated, which drives the connecting rod to reciprocate. The connecting rod drives the connecting block to reciprocate, and the connecting block drives the push rod to reciprocate. One end of the push rod is supported by the secondary structural block, which prevents the push rod from falling off during the movement. Through the arc groove set on the top of the main structural block, the push rod forms a circular reciprocating motion along the arc trajectory of the arc groove. The cover plate prevents the push rod from moving up and down. Through the cooperation of the secondary structural block and the cover plate, the movement of the push rod is more stable. Moreover, through the cooperation of the above parts, it can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the flexibility and reliability of the CNC machining quick clamping and positioning fixture are also improved. The operator can activate the cylinder to adjust the position as needed to adapt to the size and shape of different workpieces and maintain stability during the machining process.

[0017] (2) In the installation process, the main hole in the base plate is aligned with the second main groove in the main structural block, the first hole in the base plate is aligned with the second hole in the secondary structural block, the second locking hole in the L-shaped plate is aligned with the first locking hole in the base plate, and the first precision hole in the main structural block is aligned with the second precision hole in the cover plate. By opening the above holes, the installation efficiency is greatly improved, the installation accuracy is enhanced, and a lot of installation time is saved.

[0018] (3) In this invention, the device uses a push rod for clamping, which reduces the pressure on the workpiece during operation and reduces the probability of local deformation or deformation of the workpiece. Especially for flexible workpieces or thin plate materials, the reduced pressure during clamping can reduce the probability of workpiece deformation and improve the accuracy of workpiece processing. In addition, the device can perform automated processing operations, so that the jig does not need manual operation when locking the left and right sides, which improves production efficiency and avoids clamping injuries caused by improper operation by the staff.
