Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an electric actuator, in particular to a special clamping tool for a lower shell of the electric actuator. Background Art

[0002] The lower housing is the main load-bearing part of the electric actuator (2SQ8T). The lower housing is divided into four core parts (namely the main transmission hole, control hole, manual transmission hole and wiring hole), which are used to carry the main transmission components, control components, manual transmission components and wiring components respectively.

[0003] During the tooling design process, the main difficulty lies in the complex structure of the lower shell, and the upper and lower outer cylindrical surfaces of the part (i.e., the main transmission hole and the control hole) are not concentric. The conventional processing method is to use a horizontal or vertical lathe to process the lower shell, and an eccentric tool is also used to clamp the outer circle of the positioning stop of the lower shell on the lathe, which has high requirements for repeated positioning of the tool (clamping the outer circle of the positioning stop 9, and it is necessary to manually find the eccentric position of the lower shell each time, which takes a long time). If vertical lathe processing is used, the spindle rotates, and the overall eccentric force of the lower shell and the tool is large, resulting in vibration marks on the turned surface of the part.

[0004] Moreover, when clamping the outer circle of the lower shell, it is easy to cause out-of-roundness due to the thin wall thickness, and the part size requirements cannot be met; when the eccentric position of the lower shell is not found accurately, the parts will have misaligned edges and seams when matched with other parts after processing, reducing product reliability. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a special clamping tool for the lower housing of an electric actuator which has a simple structure, is convenient for positioning and processing, and has improved reliability.
