[0025] This specific embodiment of the present invention is written in a progressive manner.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a double-station housing 1 processing fixture provided in this embodiment has a specific structure including: a base 2, a pull-down clamping mechanism 3, a supporting mechanism 5, and a hydraulic mechanism; In this embodiment, the base 2 is used as a bearing platform for the fixture installation. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, two processing stations are provided on the base 2 for clamping the housing 1, and each of the processing stations is provided with the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 and the supporting mechanism 5 along the axial direction of the central circle pin of the housing 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 is horizontally placed on the base 2. Since the outer surface is an irregular arc shape, it is positioned and clamped by providing the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 and the supporting mechanism 5; The hydraulic mechanism coordinates and controls the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 and the support mechanism 5 in the two processing stations to ensure that the clamping force is evenly applied and can maintain the clamping force so that there will be no loosening during the processing; In order to accurately position and clamp the housing 1, the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 in this embodiment is described. A pull nail 4 is inserted into the process hole on the outer surface of the housing 1, and then the pull nail 4 is pulled down and clamped by the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 to provide a downward pulling force for fixing. Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the clamping, in this embodiment, a supporting structure is also provided on the base 2 to abut and support the outer surface of the shell 1 to keep it fixed; The hydraulic mechanism is disposed on the base 2 and is connected to the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 and the supporting mechanism 5 to provide power for the clamping and holding actions thereof.

[0027] As a preference, the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 described in this embodiment is further limited, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the specific number of the pull-down clamping mechanism 3 is three groups, and they are distributed according to the triangular three-point positions of the first position 6, the second position 7, and the third position 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first position 6 is parallel to the second position 7 and is arranged on the base 2 through the mounting seat 9. The third position 8 is arranged on the other side of the mounting seat 9, forming a triangular layout to tighten and fix the parts of the housing 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell 1 is arranged on the mounting seat 9, so that the shell 1 can be raised relative to the base 2 to avoid interference in processing, and the mounting seat 9 is also designed with a V-groove structure according to the arc shape of the outer surface of the shell 1, so that the shell 1 can be placed more stably and fixedly.

[0028] Furthermore, the connection method of the rivet 4 described in the present embodiment is further limited. In the present embodiment, since the process hole on the outer surface of the shell 1 is provided with an internal thread, the rivet 4 is installed into the original process threaded hole, and then the shell 1 equipped with the rivet 4 is aligned with the three positioning holes of the pull-down clamping mechanism 3. Special attention is paid to whether there are iron filings on the positioning surface of the positioning hole. During the installation of the rivet 4, brute force should not be used to prevent the rivet 4 from being twisted off. After observing whether it fits, the hydraulic mechanism is used to provide pressure to tighten the shell 1 to the clamp.

[0029] Furthermore, the support mechanism 5 described in this embodiment is further limited, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the present embodiment, the support mechanism 5 is specifically a hydraulic support device. Specifically, a movable support head 10 is provided at the end thereof. Under the action of the pressure provided by the hydraulic mechanism, the outer surface of the shell 1 is abutted and supported to avoid unstable clamping of the shell 1 during the processing of the shell 1, which causes shaking and causes the size to fail to meet the requirements of the drawing.

[0030] Furthermore, the support mechanism 5 described in this embodiment is further limited, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the specific number is four groups, such as Figure 3 As shown, three groups correspond to the pull-down clamping mechanism 3, and are distributed according to the three-point positions of the triangle of the fourth position 11, the fifth position 12, and the sixth position 13; more specifically, the fourth position 11 is set in the middle of the first position 6 and the second position 7, the fifth position 12 and the sixth position 13 are set on one side of the third position 8, and are tilted on the base 2 through the mounting seat 9, and the last group of the support mechanism 5 is set parallel to the plane of the base 2 through the floating support 14, to abut and support the arc-shaped outer surface of the shell 1.

[0031] As a preference, the specific structure of the hydraulic mechanism described in this embodiment is further limited, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the hydraulic mechanism specifically includes: a non-leakage pressure-maintaining valve 15, a sequence valve 16, a non-leakage automatic coupler 17, an accumulator 18, and a pressure-reducing display oil gauge 19; The non-leakage pressure-maintaining valve 15 is provided with a clamping oil supply port 20 of the hydraulic mechanism, and the base 2 is provided with an oil cylinder cleaning port 21, forming a complete hydraulic circuit; In this embodiment, the specific hydraulic circuit is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the accumulator 18, the sequence valve 16, the leak-free automatic connector 17, and the pressure reduction display oil gauge 19 are arranged on the base 2, and are connected to the clamping mechanism through a hydraulic pipeline. Under the pressure of the hydraulic oil, the sequence valve 16 is used to control the clamping and fixing of the shell 1, and the accumulator 18 is used to keep the clamping stable.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to inspect the housing 1 during clamping and clean it during processing, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an air path mechanism is also provided on the base 2, and the air path mechanism specifically includes: a cleaning air supply port 22, an airtightness detection air supply port 23, and a nozzle 24; The airtight detection air supply port 23 and the clamping mechanism form an airtight circuit, which is used for the air circuit mechanism to confirm the clamping state of the processing station to ensure stable clamping; The nozzles 24 are arranged on the base 2 around the periphery of the processing station for blowing and cleaning the shell 1 after processing, so as to facilitate cleaning of the waste residues and stains remaining on the surface of the shell 1 .

[0033] Preferably, the double-station design of the processing station brings convenience to the processing of the shell 1 and can improve the processing efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the double-station switching processing, the layout structure of the processing station is further limited. In this embodiment, the two processing stations are symmetrically arranged on the base 2, and are more specifically designed to be centrally symmetrical. Through such a design, the machine tool pallet can process another part only after rotating, thereby reducing the debugging time.

[0034] Preferably, the structural arrangement of the base 2 is further limited, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a positioning pin hole 25 and a bolt hole 26 are also provided on the base 2. The positioning pin can be conveniently inserted into the machine tool pallet to roughly position the fixture, and then the bolt is inserted into the bolt hole 26 to fasten the fixture to the machine tool pallet, so that the fixture is firmly installed.

[0035] Furthermore, the structural arrangement of the base 2 is further defined, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a lifting ring 27 is also installed on the base 2. When the fixture needs to be removed from the machine tool workbench or installed on the workbench, a transport tool such as an overhead crane can be used to lift the fixture by passing a rope through the lifting ring 27.

[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
