Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, in particular to a processing positioning device and a processing system for a brake caliper casting. Background Art

[0002] The brake caliper is the motion transmission part in the hump vehicle reducer. It is used in the hump marshaling yard and is an important force-bearing part that slows down the carriages when the train carriages are marshaled. The downward gravity of the carriages is transmitted to the brake caliper through other parts.

[0003] See also Figure 1 As shown, for a finished brake caliper 100, a caliper arm (i.e., arm) 105 is disposed at the top of the left end thereof, and the top of the caliper arm 105 is used to set the brake rail in the reducer; a brake rail contact vertical surface 102 is disposed at the right rear of the caliper arm 105;

[0004] The brake caliper 100 is provided with a spindle mounting cylinder 106 below the caliper arm 105; a spindle hole 103 is longitudinally penetrated through the spindle mounting cylinder 106; the bottom surface of the right end of the brake caliper 100 is the tail bottom surface 104;

[0005] For the brake caliper, the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm 105, the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 close to the caliper arm 105, the main shaft hole 103 and the tail bottom surface 104 are all related to the assembly of components and the movement of the whole machine. Therefore, machining is required to meet the dimensional accuracy and positional accuracy requirements of the workpiece to ensure the assembly accuracy.

[0006] Among them, the main shaft hole 103 is the reference for processing the other three planes (i.e., the clamp arm upper surface 101 of the clamp arm 105, the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 and the tail bottom surface 104). It should be noted that the processing procedure of the main shaft hole 103 is subsequently carried out using other processing techniques, which is not involved in the present invention.

[0007] Since the brake caliper blank is a casting with poor surface quality (for example, the surface is rough and the roughness is large), in order to obtain the finished brake caliper 100, the brake caliper casting needs to be milled. The specific requirements are: the caliper arm upper surface 101 and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 of the caliper arm 105 are milled to make the surfaces of the two surfaces smooth and improve the surface quality to obtain the finished brake caliper (it should be noted that the processing step of the tail bottom surface 104 is carried out by other processing techniques, and the tail plane 104 has been processed in advance, which is not involved in the present invention).

[0008] It should be noted that the brake caliper casting (i.e., the brake caliper blank) is basically the same as the finished brake caliper 100, with the only difference being that the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm 105 and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 are milled, and the surface quality of these two surfaces is poor and rough, while everything else is the same).

[0009] The processing technology requirements are: the brake caliper casting needs to be positioned based on the spindle hole 103, and then the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm 105 and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 are processed.

[0010] However, there is no device currently which can position the brake caliper casting to be processed based on the spindle hole 103 and ensure the positioning accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0011] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a machining positioning device and a machining system for a brake caliper casting in view of the technical defects in the prior art.

[0012] To this end, the present invention provides a machining and positioning device for a brake caliper casting, which includes a clamp body;

[0013] A horizontally distributed vertical plate is vertically arranged at the front and rear ends of the top of the clamping body;

[0014] A clamping limit pin and a clamping screw are respectively longitudinally provided through the upper left ends of the two vertical plates;

[0015] The clamping screw is located in front of the clamping limit pin;

[0016] A pressure plate is provided at the opposite end of the clamping limit pin and the clamping screw;

[0017] A set screw is longitudinally provided through the upper right ends of the two vertical plates;

[0018] A third stud bolt is vertically arranged at the middle of the front and rear ends of the clamp body;

[0019] Two third stud bolts are located on opposite sides of the two vertical plates;

[0020] The upper parts of the two third stud bolts are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the longitudinally distributed pressure plate;

[0021] The left and right ends of the top of the clamp are respectively provided with a V-shaped block and a limit block;

[0022] The V-shaped block and the limit block are located between the two vertical plates;

[0023] A support seat is vertically arranged at the front and rear ends of the clamp body respectively;

[0024] A first adjustable supporting portion is arranged on the upper portion of each supporting seat.

[0025] In addition, the present invention also provides a brake caliper casting processing system, comprising the brake caliper casting processing positioning device as described above, and a milling machine;

[0026] The milling machine is used to perform multiple milling processes on the upper surface of the caliper arm and the brake rail contact vertical surface of the brake caliper casting by using the face milling cutter thereon.

[0027] It can be seen from the technical solution provided by the present invention that, compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a processing positioning device and a processing system for a brake caliper casting, which are scientifically designed and can position the brake caliper casting to be processed based on the spindle hole to ensure the positioning accuracy, thereby facilitating further processing operations on the upper surface of the caliper arm and the brake rail contact vertical surface of the caliper arm, ensuring the quality of processing, and having great practical significance.

[0028] It should be noted that, for the present invention, the concentricity of the spindle mounting cylinder (i.e., the outer circumference of the spindle hole) and the spindle hole is considered, so the spindle mounting cylinder (i.e., the outer circumference of the spindle hole) is used for positioning, which can reduce the difficulty of positioning and clamping the device;

[0029] In addition, the present invention guides the brake caliper tail by means of a slot limiting method to ensure the verticality of its arm (caliper arm). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0101] It should be noted that, for the present invention, the top height of the first adjustable support portion 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the depth of the screw of the first adjustable support portion 8 screwed into the threaded hole in the support seat.

[0102] Furthermore, the screw at the bottom of the first adjustable support portion 8 is also threadedly connected to a hexagonal nut 17 , and the bottom surface of the hexagonal nut 17 abuts against the top surface of the support seat 5 (ie, is in close contact with each other).

[0111] The bottom surface of the first nut 19 located below abuts against the top surface of the pressure plate 14 (i.e., they are in close contact).

[0112] In specific implementation, the upper portion of the third stud bolt 15 located in the front is threadedly fixedly connected with a shouldered hexagonal nut 16;

[0113] The bottom surface of the shouldered hexagonal nut 16 abuts against the top surface of the pressing plate 14 (i.e., they are in close contact with each other);

[0115] A third stud bolt 15 located in the front, vertically penetrates through the bolt and is pushed into the open groove 140;

[0116] It should be noted that after the upper parts of the two third stud bolts 15 are installed with the pressure plate 14, the third stud bolt 15 located at the rear is fixed with two thin first nuts 19 (specification M20), and then the third stud bolt 15 located at the front is pushed into the bolt opening groove 140 of the pressure plate 14, and then fixed with a shouldered hexagonal nut 16.

[0117] In the present invention, see Figure 5 , a vertical plate hole 1-01 and a nut 1-011 are respectively longitudinally penetrated at the upper left ends of the two vertical plates 1-0;

[0118] Nut 1-011, located in front of the vertical plate hole 1-01;

[0119] A clamping and limiting nail 6 is provided through the vertical plate hole 1-01;

[0125] In the present invention, a second adjustable supporting portion 9 is provided at the upper right end of the limiting block 3 .

[0126] In specific implementation, the upper right end of the limit block 3 is provided with a limit block internal threaded hole 301 with a top opening;

[0127] The second adjustable support portion 9 has a screw at the bottom thereof, which is threadedly connected to the inner threaded hole 301 of the limit block;

[0128] It should be noted that, for the present invention, the top height of the second adjustable support portion 9 can be adjusted by adjusting the depth of the screw of the second adjustable support portion 9 screwed into the threaded hole 301 in the limit block.

[0129] Furthermore, the screw rod provided at the lower part of the second adjustable support part 9 is also threadedly connected with a hexagonal nut 17 , and the bottom surface of the hexagonal nut 17 abuts against the top surface of the limit block 3 (ie, they are in close contact with each other).

[0130] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the height of the upper plane of the second adjustable support portion 9 is the same as the height of the top surfaces of the two inspection blocks 4 and is located on the same horizontal plane.

[0131] It should be noted that since the brake caliper blank is a casting with a rough surface, a second adjustable support portion 9 that can be fine-tuned is designed to adapt to different castings. Moreover, the upper surface of the second adjustable support portion 9 is a circular surface with a concave middle, which is also to reduce the contact area and prevent the roughness of the casting (i.e., the casting) from affecting the machining.

[0132] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, support plates are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the V-shaped block 2;

[0133] The upper parts of the two support plates are respectively provided with longitudinally distributed working support grooves 202;

[0134] Between the two support plates, there is a protrusion exposed groove 201 which is distributed transversely and opens upward;

[0135] The protruding portion exposed groove 201 is used to accommodate the protruding portion 1030 of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103) of the brake caliper casting 100-0;

[0136] The working support groove 202 abuts against (is in close contact with) the lower portion of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103) of the brake caliper casting 100-0;

[0137] The longitudinal width of the protrusion 1030 is smaller than the longitudinal width of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103);

[0138] The longitudinal width of the protruding portion exposed in the groove 201 is smaller than the longitudinal width of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (ie, the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103 ).

[0139] It should be noted that see Figure 6d As shown, the front and rear support plates of the V-shaped block 2 are respectively provided with through holes for the first stud bolts 121 to pass through at positions corresponding to the first stud bolts 121 .

[0140] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, a workpiece passing groove 302 is provided at the top of the left end of the limit block 3;

[0141] The workpiece passes through the groove 302 to laterally pass through the right end of the brake caliper casting 100-0; the second adjustable support portion 9 at the top of the limit block 3 contacts the tail bottom surface 104 of the right end of the brake caliper casting 100-0.

[0142] It should be noted that, in order to avoid over-positioning, the top of the limit block 3 is milled down to avoid air gaps, and only the second adjustable support portion 9 is used to abut against the tail bottom surface 104 of the brake caliper casting 100-0.

[0143] In a specific implementation, the right end of the tail bottom surface 104 of the brake caliper casting 100 - 0 also abuts against (ie, is in close contact with) the upper plane of the second adjustable support portion 9 ;

[0144] Based on the machining and positioning device for a brake caliper casting provided by the present invention, the present invention further provides a machining system for a brake caliper casting, which comprises the machining and positioning device for a brake caliper casting as described above, and a milling machine;

[0145] The milling machine is used to perform milling processing on the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 of the brake caliper casting 100-0 in batches through the face milling cutter thereon, so that the two surfaces are processed into smooth surfaces and the surface quality is improved.

[0146] In the present invention, in specific implementation, a milling machine refers to a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to process various surfaces of a workpiece. It is a well-known mechanical processing equipment in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0147] In order to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention, the working process of the present invention is described below.

[0148] First, Figure 4a The upper plane of the second adjustable support part 9 is leveled by a height gauge and two inspection blocks 4, that is, adjusted to the same horizontal height;

[0149] It should be noted that when the brake caliper casting 100-0 is placed on the working support groove 202 on the upper part of the V-block 2, the top height of the inspection block 4 is the same as the center point height of the main shaft hole 103 of the brake caliper casting 100-0. In other words, the top surface height of the inspection block 4 is the center point height of the main shaft hole 103 of the brake caliper casting 100-0, which is used as a reference.

[0150] It should be noted that, through the adjustment of the second adjustable support portion 9, the center point height of the spindle hole 103 of the brake caliper casting 100-0 can be made the same as the height of the tail bottom surface 104 at the right end of the brake caliper casting 100-0.

[0151] Then, the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103) of the brake caliper casting 100-0 is abutted against the working support groove 202 on the upper portion of the V-block 2 in the device of the present invention, and at the same time, the tail bottom surface 104 of the brake caliper casting 100-0 falls into the workpiece passing groove 302 of the limit block 3, and the tail bottom surface 104 of the brake caliper casting 100-0 is abutted against the upper plane of the second adjustable support portion 9;

[0152] At the same time, a pressure plate 7 located at the rear of the device of the present invention is directed toward the rear side of the brake caliper casting 100-0, and is abutted against the rear side of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103) of the brake caliper casting 100-0, see Figure 4a shown.

[0153] Then, adjust the two first adjustable support parts 8 in the device of the present invention so that the upper plane of the first adjustable support parts abuts against the surface of the lower groove 1050 of the arm (i.e., the caliper arm 105) of the brake caliper casting 100-0. At this time, use a probe to measure whether the front and rear ends of the caliper arm 105 (arm) are on a longitudinal straight line. If so, the clamping operation can be performed. Specifically, first tighten the clamping screw 10 located in the front so that the two pressure plates 7 cooperate with each other front and back, and abut the front and rear side surfaces of the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer cylindrical part of the spindle hole 103) of the brake caliper casting 100-0. Then, use two set screws 11 to simultaneously clamp the front and rear side surfaces of the right end (i.e., the tail) of the brake caliper casting 100-0. Figure 4c The middle pressure plate 14 rotates to abut against the top of the middle section of the brake caliper casting 100-0, and the shouldered hexagonal nut 16 is screwed downward until the pressure plate 14 abuts against the top of the middle section of the brake caliper casting 100-0, completing the clamping operation of the brake caliper casting 100-0 to be processed;

[0154] Then, start the milling machine and use the face milling cutter to perform milling on the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 close to the arm of the workpiece to be processed (i.e., the brake caliper casting 100-0) in batches, so that the two surfaces are processed into smooth surfaces, the surface quality is improved, and a brake caliper 1 with the upper surface 101 of the caliper arm and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 processed is obtained.

[0155] Compared with the prior art, the machining and positioning device for brake caliper castings provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0156] 1. The present invention can position the spindle mounting cylinder 106 (i.e., the outer circumferential portion of the spindle hole 103) by using a V-block 2. Through this positioning, the upper surface 101 of the clamp arm 105 and the brake rail contact vertical surface 102 are processed, which is beneficial to ensure the relative processing size and shape and position tolerance of the workpiece.

[0157] 2. By applying the present invention, the marking process of workers can be reduced, which is conducive to further realizing the processing operation of the brake caliper and improving the processing efficiency;

[0158] 3. By applying the present invention, the problem of processing brake caliper castings is solved. The present invention has a reasonable structure, convenient and fast operation, accurate and reliable processing accuracy, and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0159] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
