Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to electric actuators, in particular to a special clamping tool for the lower housing of an electric actuator. BACKGROUND

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

[0003] In the tool design process, the main difficulty lies in the fact that the structure of the lower housing is relatively complex, and the upper and lower two outer circular 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 housing, and an eccentric tool is also used to position the outer circle of the stopper of the lower housing clamped in the lathe, which requires high repeated positioning of the tool (clamping and positioning the outer circle 9 of the stopper, which needs to manually find the eccentric position of the lower housing each time, which takes a long time). If a vertical lathe is used, the main shaft rotates, and the eccentric force of the lower housing and the tool as a whole is large, causing vibration marks on the turned surface of the part.

[0004] Moreover, when clamping the outer circle of the lower housing, the wall thickness is relatively thin, which can easily cause the circle to be lost, and cannot meet the size requirements of the part; when the eccentric position of the lower housing is not accurately found, the part will produce misalignment and misfit after processing, which reduces the reliability of the product.
