[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides an assembly tool for a generator end cover machining center, comprising a mounting base plate 1, an axial clamping assembly 2, a radial clamping assembly 3 and a second support column 5. The mounting base plate 1 can be fixed to the machine tool by bolts or the like; two pairs of first support columns 4 are evenly installed on the top surface of the mounting base plate 1; the axial clamping assembly 2 is installed on the two pairs of first support columns 4; the radial clamping assembly 3 is installed above the axial clamping assembly 2, and the radial clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping member 31 and a support member 32 that are closely arranged and engaged with each other; the second support column 5 is provided as a pair, for fixing the radial clamping assembly 3 on the axial clamping assembly 2; wherein the axial clamping assembly 2 is used to clamp the axis in the middle of the generator end cover The radial clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the outer edge of the generator end cover in cooperation with the axial clamping assembly 2, which is the secondary clamping. The secondary clamping is based on the primary clamping, and the axial clamping assembly 2 drives the generator end cover close to the radial clamping assembly 3, and finally clamps it. Through the two clamping operations, compared with the single clamping of the prior art, the clamping operation on the outer edge of the generator end cover is added, so that when processing the generator end cover with a thinner shell wall, the tightening and fixing ability of the end cover can be improved, and the occurrence of shaking and the like during the end cover processing can be reduced, thereby ensuring higher processing accuracy and improving the product yield.

[0034] Specifically, the axial clamping assembly 2 includes a mounting cross seat 21, a linear drive member 23 is installed in the narrow gap in the middle of the mounting cross seat 21, and a chuck 22 is installed on the linear drive member 23; the chuck 22 is specifically composed of three parts: a chuck body, a movable jaw and a jaw driving mechanism. The chuck body, the movable jaw and the jaw driving mechanism are mature technologies in the existing technology, so they are not described in detail here. The movable jaws move together to the side away from the axis of the chuck body to achieve the purpose of clamping the bearing mounting hole in the middle of the generator end cover; the linear drive member 23 can be realized by using a mature ball screw pair structure in the existing technology, which is mainly composed of a screw and a nut. It is the most accurate and most commonly used transmission device in the transmission machinery, so it is not described in detail here. The purpose is to bring the end cover after the last clamping of the axial clamping assembly 2 close to the radial clamping assembly 3, and finally achieve the purpose of tightening, thereby completing the secondary clamping.

[0035] Furthermore, the clamping member 31 includes a fixed plate 311 and a movable plate 312, and two movable plates 312 are provided, and are respectively located on both sides of the fixed plate 311 close to the end of the axial clamping assembly 2; the two movable plates 312 and the fixed plate 311 together form a "V"-shaped front end, which is used to perform secondary clamping on the generator end cover after the axial clamping assembly 2 is clamped once; the "V"-shaped front end is particularly suitable for clamping the outer edge of the circular end cover, so that the secondary clamping purpose of the more common circular end cover can be quickly achieved, and the processing accuracy of the subsequent end cover can be guaranteed.

[0036] In a further embodiment, in actual processing operations, circular end caps are more common, but there are also many rectangular end caps. In order to improve the versatility and applicability of the device, the specific structure of the radial clamping assembly 3 is further improved as follows: Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the movable plate 312 is composed of a plurality of closely adjacent sub-movable pieces 3121. The movable plate 312 is normally set as a right-angled triangle structure as a whole. The lengths of the sub-movable pieces 3121 in the same movable plate 312 gradually decrease; the two ends of each sub-movable piece 3121 are sequentially set as inclined surfaces and planes, so that when the sub-movable pieces 3121 of the same group are in the initial state, multiple inclined surfaces are pieced together to form a hypotenuse of a deep "V"-shaped groove, thereby achieving a better clamping purpose for the circular end cover, and the flat end of each sub-movable piece 3121 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 3122, and a rod 3123 is inserted into a group of connecting rings 3122 on the same side, and the rod 3123 is away from one end of the axial clamping assembly 2. The two fixing sleeves are all provided with a connecting block 3124; a rectangular opening 323 is provided at one end of the support member 32 close to the axial clamping assembly 2 for the movement of the axial clamping assembly 2 for feeding, and two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 321 are symmetrically provided on the surface of the support member 32 about the rectangular opening 323. Two groups of limiting slots 322 matching the two groups of sub-movable pieces 3121 are respectively provided in the two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 321. The right-angled trapezoidal grooves 321 are specifically a combination of a rectangle and a right-angled triangle. The two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 321 and the two groups of limiting slots 322 are used to provide support and limitation for the two groups of sub-movable pieces 3121 in the two movable plates 312 after deformation and restoration, thereby improving the structural strength and pressure resistance of each single sub-movable piece 3121;

[0037] The sub-movable piece 3121 can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the telescopic cylinder 3131 in the limiting slot 322 for sliding insertion.

[0038] In addition, the clamping member 31 also includes a telescopic member 313, which includes a telescopic cylinder 3131 fixed on the top of the fixed plate 311 and a beam 3132 fixedly installed on the output end of the telescopic cylinder 3131, and two connecting blocks 3124 are respectively fixed at both ends of the beam 3132. The telescopic output end of the telescopic cylinder 3131 can drive the beam 3132 to move in the direction of translation of the chuck 22, thereby driving the two insertion rods 3123 to be gradually pulled out or inserted back from the two sets of connecting rings 3122.

[0039] The above structural design corresponds to two working conditions. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 When the cam 312 is in the closed position, the two guide rails 312 are in the closed position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the cam 312 is in the open position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the cam 312 is in the open position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the cam 312 is in the open position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the cam 312 is in the open position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the cam 312 is in the open position, and the guide rails 312 are in the closed position, so that the guide rails

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the chuck 22 can also be used to clamp the bearing mounting hole in the middle of the rectangular end cover once. Then, when the rectangular generator end cover is clamped for the second time, the axial clamping assembly 2 drives the upper rectangular end cover to translate to the right, and the rectangular end cover presses against the overall oblique edges of the two movable plates 312. Due to the special structure of the right-angled edges of the rectangular end cover, after they are pressed against the overall oblique edges of the two movable plates 312, the clamping effect is very general. After the processing force is applied, vibration will occur. Therefore, the two movable plates 312 need to be adaptively deformed at this time.

[0042] Specifically, the telescopic cylinder 3131 is started to drive the crossbeam 3132 to move horizontally to the side away from the chuck 22, so that the two insertion rods 3123 can be gradually drawn out from the two sets of connecting rings 3122, cooperating with the right-angled sides of the rectangular generator end cover to push back the corresponding sub-movable pieces 3121 on both sides. This is due to the end structural design characteristics of the sub-movable pieces 3121, that is, the lengths of the sub-movable pieces 3121 in the same movable plate 312 are gradually reduced, and the two ends of each sub-movable piece 3121 are sequentially set to be inclined surfaces and flat surfaces; then the two movable The plate 312 will deform adaptively; the sub-movable piece 3121 will be pushed back under the restriction of the corresponding limiting slot 322, that is, it will move perpendicularly to the axis of the telescopic cylinder 3131. In this way, the pushing and retreating action of the sub-movable piece 3121 is more orderly, and subsequent reset is more convenient. In addition, the two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 321 symmetrically arranged in the supporting limit member 32 serve to store and support the sub-movable piece 3121 after the push and retreat, preventing the sub-movable piece 3121 from falling, achieving the purpose of order and regularity, and promoting the use of the device with high stability, high efficiency and reliability.

[0043] Finally, when the sub-movable pieces 3121 on both sides do not push back any further, the right-angled sides of the rectangular end cover will press against the sliding side surfaces of the last sub-movable piece 3121 that "can no longer be pushed back", thereby pressing the pressed end surface of the rectangular end cover and the sliding side surfaces of the last pair of sub-movable pieces 3121 that "can no longer be pushed back" tightly together. When the two planes are pressed together, there will be no jumping vibration or shaking. At this point, the two movable plates 312 cooperate with the axial clamping assembly 2 of the feed to achieve the purpose of secondary clamping of the outer edge of the rectangular generator end cover, thereby reducing the occurrence of shaking during the processing of the rectangular end cover, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy of subsequent end covers and improving the product yield.

[0044] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
