[0008] In the above technical solution, further: A pair of axially symmetric set screws are used to fasten and install the stop block at the top of the V-block, and an axial positioning screw is installed at the center of the stop block.

The clamping is convenient, without the need to use a dividing head for alignment, which can greatly reduce the processing difficulty and improve the processing efficiency.

[0020] 2.

Specific embodiments

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Figures 1-6

[0031] A milling keyway tooling for a shaft-like part with an angular relationship between a keyway and a flat position, (as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 ) has a V-block 5. Among them, the V-shaped sinking groove 501 of the V-block 5 has good centering performance, which can center the positioning reference axis of the workpiece on the symmetric plane of the two inclined planes of the V-block, and there will be no offset in the left and right directions.

[0032] One end of the V-shaped groove 501 of the V-block 5 is installed with a stop block 12, and the other end is installed with a flat-position positioning block 4; the stop block 12 is rotatably installed with an axial positioning screw 10, and the axial positioning screw 10 abuts against the end face of the shaft of the shaft part 6 for axial positioning of shaft parts 6 with different lengths. Among them, the combined use of the stop block 12 and the axial positioning screw 10 can achieve accurate axial positioning of shaft parts 6 with different lengths. The axial positioning screw 10 abuts against the end face of the shaft of the shaft part 6 to prevent the workpiece from axially moving during the milling process and improve the machining accuracy.

[0033] The upper end face of the flat-position positioning block 4 is provided with a flat-position positioning inclined surface 401, and the inclination angle α (in combination with Figure 5 ) of the flat-position positioning inclined surface 401 is equal to the included angle between the keyway 601 and the flat position 602 of the shaft part 6 (in combination with Figure 1 ), and the flat-position positioning inclined surface 401 is in surface contact and fits with the flat position 602 of the shaft part 6 (such as Figure 2 ).

[0034] Among them, for the flat-position positioning inclined surface 401 on the upper end face of the flat-position positioning block 4, its inclination angle α is equal to the included angle between the keyway 601 and the flat position 602 of the shaft part 6, ensuring that the flat position can be accurately positioned. The flat-position positioning inclined surface 401 is in surface contact and fits with the flat position 602 of the shaft part 6, further improving the accuracy and stability of the positioning.

[0035] The V-block 5 is installed with a pressing plate 9 (such as Figure 3 ), and the pressing plate 9 presses down the shaft part 6 and presses and fixes the shaft part 6 in the V-shaped groove 501 of the V-block 5.

[0036] Among them, the pressing plate 9 presses down the shaft part 6 and presses and fixes the shaft part 6 in the V-shaped groove 501 of the V-block 5 to achieve firm clamping of the workpiece. The design of the pressing plate 9 makes the clamping operation more simple and fast, improving the work efficiency.

[0037] Therefore, the tooling of the present invention can adapt to shaft parts 6 with different lengths and sizes, has strong versatility and adaptability, and can achieve accurate positioning and clamping of workpieces with different specifications by adjusting the stop block 12, the axial positioning screw 10 and the flat-position positioning block 4. In addition, the tooling of the present invention ensures the stability and accuracy of the shaft part 6 workpiece during the milling process through accurate positioning and clamping, thereby improving the machining accuracy and avoiding machining errors and scrap rates caused by improper clamping of the shaft part 6 workpiece.

[0038] In the above-mentioned embodiment, further: (such as Figure 3 ) The V-block 5 is provided with two axially symmetric V-shaped grooves 501, and the V-shaped grooves 501 are used for arranging two shaft parts 6 side by side, and the two shaft parts 6 are pressed by one pressing plate 9.

[0039] Among them, since the V-block 5 is designed with two axially symmetric V-shaped grooves 501, two shaft parts 6 can be installed side by side at the same time. This means that two workpieces can be processed simultaneously during a single clamping process, thereby further significantly improving production efficiency. Using a single pressing plate 9 can press two shaft parts 6 simultaneously, reducing the number of clamping operations and time, which helps to shorten the processing cycle and improve the overall production efficiency. Using a single pressing plate 9 to press two shaft parts 6 simultaneously can ensure that the two workpieces receive the same pressing force, which helps to ensure the consistency of the processing accuracy and surface quality of the two workpieces. By installing two shaft parts 6 side by side and using a single pressing plate 9 to press, the number and cost of tooling fixtures can be reduced. At the same time, due to the improvement of production efficiency, the processing cost per unit product can also be reduced. The double-axisymmetric design enables the two shaft parts 6 to be installed compactly side by side, thus saving processing space, which is particularly important for processing environments with limited space. The operation process of installing two shaft parts 6 side by side and using a single pressing plate 9 to press is relatively simple and clear, which helps to reduce operation errors and improve work efficiency.

[0040] In the above embodiment, preferably: the pressing plate 9 is connected to the V-block 5 integrally through the U-shaped groove 901 (as Figure 6 ) made on it, and the pressing plate screw 8 and the gasket 7 are screwed into the threaded hole 505 of the V-block to fasten the pressing plate 9 and the V-block 5 together (in combination with Figure 2 , Figure 3 ).

[0041] Among them, the design of the U-shaped groove 901 enables the pressing plate 9 to be more firmly connected to the V-block 5. By screwing the pressing plate screw 8 and the gasket 7, the tightness between the pressing plate 9 and the V-block 5 can be ensured. The use of the gasket 7 can also prevent the loosening of the pressing plate screw 8, further enhancing the reliability of the connection. The threaded hole 505 on the V-block 5 matches the pressing plate screw 8, making the connection more precise and stable. The design of the U-shaped groove 901 and the threaded hole 505 of the V-block enables the pressing plate 9 to be easily installed on the V-block 5 without complex operation steps.

[0042] In the above embodiment, further: the stopper 12 is firmly installed at the top of the V-block 5 using a pair of axially symmetric stopper set screws 11; the axial positioning screw 10 is installed at the center of the stopper 12.

[0043] Among them, a pair of axially symmetric set screws 11 of the stoppers are used to fasten and install the stopper 12 at the top of the V-block 5. This design can ensure that the stopper 12 maintains a stable position after installation and is not prone to deviation or loosening. The set screws 11 of the stoppers, as fastening elements, can provide sufficient fastening force to ensure a firm and reliable connection between the stopper 12 and the V-block 5. The set screws 11 and the axial positioning screws 10 can facilitate the installation and adjustment of the stopper 12. This installation method does not require complex operation steps and saves installation time.

[0044] In the above embodiment, preferably: (such as Figure 4 ) A block base 502 is made at the bottom end of the V-block 5 for installing the flat-positioning block 4. The block base 502 is used to increase the overall stability of the tooling. The block base 502 is made with a through base pin hole 503 (such as Figure 2 ), and the guide pin 1 is concentrically installed in the base pin hole 503. The guide pin 1 is concentrically pinned to the positioning block pin hole 402 made on the flat-positioning block 4.

[0045] Among them, the block base 502 is made with a through base pin hole 503 for installing the guide pin 1. This design makes the tooling structure more compact and reduces unnecessary space occupation. The guide pin 1 is concentrically pinned to the positioning block pin hole 402 made on the flat-positioning block 4. This matching method can ensure the position accuracy of the flat-positioning block 4 during installation and prevent it from deviating or shaking. The design of the guide pin 1 also enables the flat-positioning block 4 to maintain a stable movement track during adjustment, further improving the positioning accuracy.

[0046] A sink 403 is made at the bottom end of the flat-positioning block 4, and a spring 3 is installed between the sink 403 and the upper end face of the block base 502.

[0047] Among them, the spring 3 installed between the sink 403 and the upper end face of the block base 502 can play a buffering role and reduce the impact on the positioning accuracy caused by the impact force generated during workpiece clamping or processing.

[0048] A positioning block threaded hole 404 is also made at the bottom end of the flat-positioning block 4. The block base 502 is made with a stepped through hole 504. The stepped through hole 504 and the positioning block threaded hole 404 are concentrically arranged. The positioning block adjustment screw 2 passes through the stepped through hole 504 and then is screwed into the positioning block threaded hole 404 to adjust the height of the flat-positioning block 4.

[0049] Among them, this adjustment method enables the tooling to adapt to workpieces of different sizes and shapes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the tooling. Collaborating with the guide pin 1, the concentric arrangement of the stepped through hole 504 and the positioning block threaded hole 404 ensures the stability of the positioning block adjustment screw 2 during adjustment and prevents it from tilting or deviating.

[0050] In addition, the guide pins 1, springs 3, positioning block adjusting screws 2, stop block set screws 11, washers 7, and pressure plate screws 8 used in the tooling are all standardized components, which are easy to purchase and replace. This design reduces the maintenance cost of the tooling and improves work efficiency. The structural design of the tooling makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the components, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair work.

[0051] In the above embodiment, further: (as Figure 3 shown) the V-shaped sinking groove 501 is provided with a shoulder sinking groove 5011, and the shoulder sinking groove 5011 is adapted to receive the shoulder 603 of the shaft part 6 to ensure the levelness of the shaft part 6.

[0052] Among them, this embodiment is specifically used to adapt to the shoulder 603 of the shaft part 6, and this precise adaptation relationship can ensure the horizontal and precise positioning of the shaft part 6 during the installation process.

[0053] The present invention also claims a method for using a milling keyway tooling for a shaft keyway and flat position with an angular relationship. Clamping the shaft part 6 with any of the above toolings includes the following steps: At the same time, this usage method is also the clamping working principle of the tooling of the present invention.

[0054] S1. Before clamping, adjust the height of the flat position positioning block 4 by adjusting the positioning block adjusting screw 2, so that the flat position positioning inclined surface 401 of the flat position positioning block 4 is higher than the axis height of the shaft part 6 and ensure the levelness of the shaft part 6.

[0055] Among them, through the fine-tuning function of the positioning block adjusting screw 2, the height position of the flat position positioning block 4 can be accurately controlled. This precise adjustment ability ensures the relative position relationship between the flat position positioning inclined surface 401 and the axis of the shaft part 6, thereby improving the clamping accuracy. After the height position of the flat position positioning block 4 is adjusted, its stability is enhanced, maintaining the stable position of the shaft part 6 during the subsequent processing and preventing displacement caused by vibration or impact. By adjusting the height position of the flat position positioning block 4, the tooling can adapt to shaft parts 6 with different diameters and shapes. This flexibility makes the tooling have a wider application range and improves its versatility. Since the tooling can adapt to shaft parts of different sizes, when replacing parts of different sizes, there is no need to replace the tooling or make complex adjustments, which helps to reduce the changeover time and improve production efficiency.

[0056] S2. Place the shaft part 6 into the V-shaped sinking groove 501.

[0057] S3. Use the stop block set screw 11 to firmly install the stop block 12 at the top of the V-shaped block 5, and realize the axial positioning of the shaft part 6 by adjusting the length of the axial positioning screw 10.

[0058] S4. When clamping, use the pressure plate screw 8 to pass through the U-shaped groove 901 and then screw it into the V-block threaded hole 505 to press down the pressure plate 9 on the shaft part 6. Initially, make the flat part 602 of the shaft part 6 contact with a part of the flat positioning inclined surface 401 of the flat positioning block 4. Continuously rotate the pressure plate screw 8 to gradually press down the pressure plate 9. The tangential force generated by the pressure plate 9 acts on the shaft part 6, causing the shaft part 6 to rotate independently within the V-shaped sunk groove 501 until the flat part 602 of the shaft part 6 rotates to completely fit the flat positioning inclined surface 401 of the flat positioning block 4, automatically completing the circumferential alignment of the shaft part 6.

[0059] Among them, during the process of continuously rotating the pressure plate screw 8 to gradually press down the pressure plate 9, the tangential force generated by the pressure plate 9 acts on the shaft part 6, causing the shaft part 6 to rotate independently. This characteristic of independent rotation enables the shaft part 6 to automatically adjust its position until the flat part 602 of the shaft part 6 completely fits the flat positioning inclined surface 401 of the flat positioning block 4, thus realizing the circumferential automatic alignment of the shaft part 6. This process requires no manual intervention, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of clamping. The automated alignment process reduces the time for manual adjustment and verification, making the entire clamping process more efficient, contributing to enhancing the overall production capacity of the production line and reducing production costs. Through the tight fit between the flat positioning block 4 and the flat part 602 of the shaft part 6, precise circumferential positioning is achieved. This positioning method ensures the position accuracy of the shaft part 6 during the machining process and improves the machining quality.

[0060] S5. Continuously rotate the pressure plate screw 8 to make the pressure plate 9 continue to press down until the generatrix of the shaft part 6 is in tight contact with the V-shaped sunk groove 501, and the shaft part 6 is tightly fixed in the V-shaped sunk groove 501 of the V-block 5, completing the positioning and clamping of the shaft part 6.

[0061] Among them, the tight fit between the generatrix of the shaft part 6 and the V-shaped sunk groove 501 ensures the centering position accuracy of the part during the clamping process. This clamping method is easy to operate. Workers only need to continuously rotate the pressure plate screw 8 to complete the clamping process, reducing the operation difficulty, improving the work efficiency and operation convenience of workers. Precise clamping and positioning reduce the adjustment time during the machining process and improve production efficiency. Precise clamping and positioning help reduce machining errors, improve machining quality, contribute to reducing the scrap rate and rework rate, and reduce production costs. Tight clamping and positioning help prevent the shaft part from falling off or shifting during the machining process, thus reducing the risk of safety accidents.

[0062] In the above embodiments, further: by replacing the flat positioning block 4 of the flat positioning inclined surface 401 with different α inclination angles, the adaptive positioning and clamping of different included angles between the keyway 601 and the flat position 602 of the shaft-like part 6 can be realized; by rotating the adjusting positioning block adjusting screw 2 to adjust the height of the flat positioning block 4, the adaptive positioning and clamping of shaft-like parts 6 with different diameters can be realized; by rotating the adjusting axial positioning screw 10 to adjust the protruding length, the axial adaptive positioning and clamping of shaft-like parts 6 with different axial lengths can be realized.

[0063] Among them, by replacing the flat positioning inclined surface 401 with different α inclination angles, the included angle between different keyways 601 and the flat position 602 on the shaft-like part 6 can be accurately matched. This flexibility ensures that the tooling can adapt to shaft-like parts with a variety of different design requirements, greatly expanding its application range. Whether it is by replacing the flat positioning block 4, adjusting the height of the flat positioning block 4 or adjusting the axial positioning screw 10, high-precision positioning of the shaft-like part 6 can be achieved. This precise positioning helps to reduce errors during the machining process, improve machining quality and product consistency. The adjustment process of the tooling is intuitive and easy to operate. Workers can start without complex training, simplifying the operation process and reducing the requirements for workers' skills. The versatility and flexibility of the tooling reduce the dependence on tooling of different sizes, reduce inventory costs and the frequency of replacing tooling. At the same time, due to the reduction of adjustment time and scrap rate, the production cost is also indirectly reduced.

[0064] It can be found from the above description that: during the clamping of the present invention, the tangential force generated during the pressing process of the pressing plate 9 acts on the shaft-like part 6 to make the shaft-like part 6 rotate independently in the V-shaped sinking groove 501 until the flat position 602 of the shaft-like part 6 rotates to completely fit the flat positioning inclined surface 401 of the flat positioning block 4, and the circumferential alignment of the shaft-like part 6 is automatically completed. The clamping is convenient and does not require the use of a dividing head for alignment, which can greatly reduce the machining difficulty and improve the machining efficiency.

[0065] In the present invention, the stop block 12 and the axial positioning screw 10 are used in cooperation to ensure the axial positioning of the shaft-like part 6; the flat positioning block 4, the spring 3, the guide pin 1, and the positioning block adjusting screw 2 work together to ensure the angular positional relationship between the keyway 601 and the flat position 602 of the shaft-like part 6; the pressing plate 9, the pressing plate screw 8, and the gasket 7 work together to ensure the pressing of the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from displacing; the present invention realizes the axial and circumferential positioning of the shaft-like part 6 product.
