When the anti-shift pressure plate 830 is below the anti-shift shaft 810, the anti-shift elastic telescopic rod 850 is in a stretched state, and its tightened elastic force always pulls the side connecting column 840, so that the anti-shift pressure plate 830 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the double slide rail part 200, and the anti-shift convex strip 8 60 is inserted into the recessed portion between two adjacent anti-movement protrusions 210, thereby limiting the movement of the support frame assembly 300 relative to the double slide rail portion 200; when the anti-movement pressure plate 830 is on the upper side of the anti-movement shaft 810, the anti-movement elastic telescopic rod 850 is still in a stretched state, and its tightened elastic force pulls the side connecting column 840 to limit the anti-movement pressure plate 830 from rotating to below the anti-movement shaft 810, thereby ensuring that the support frame assembly 300 can move unobstructed on the double slide rail portion 200.

[0029] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the synchronous connection component 400 includes a plurality of cross rod groups, and the plurality of cross rod groups are equidistantly distributed and connected to each other, and the cross rod group includes a central node 420 and two rotating rods 410, and the two rotating rods 410 cross each other and are rotationally connected through the central node 420 at the middle position, and the central node 420 in the cross rod groups at the two ends is rotationally connected to the bottom of the chassis 310, and the central node 420 in the cross rod group in the middle is rotationally connected to the center plate 500; the ends of the rotating rods 410 of the two adjacent cross rod groups are hinged; in the embodiment of the present invention, the central node 420 in the middle cross rod group will not move, and when one of the support frame assemblies 300 moves, the rotating rods 410 in the plurality of cross rod groups are used to rotate around the central node 420 to transmit the driving force, so that the two support frame assemblies 300 move synchronously and rotate in opposite directions; using the cross rod group as a connecting transmission member can increase the moving stroke without increasing the size of the entire mechanism.

[0030] The above embodiment provides a fixed tooling for producing an automobile drive axle, and its working principle is as follows: 1. Initial adjustment phase Bracing assembly 300 synchronous adjustment Depending on the length of the drive axle body 100, the operator manually moves one of the support assemblies 300 along the dual-slide rail portion 200. Because the synchronous connection assembly 400 is fixed to the midpoint of the dual-slide rail portion 200 via the center plate 500, the two support assemblies 300 move synchronously and in opposite directions through the linkage of the cross-bar assembly rotating rod 410 and the center node 420, ensuring that they are always symmetrical about the midpoint of the dual-slide rail portion, thus accommodating drive axle bodies 100 of different lengths.

[0031] Blocking assembly 800 locked position After the adjustment is completed, the anti-shift pressure plate 830 of the anti-shift assembly 800 is flipped to the bottom of the anti-shift shaft 810. The elastic force of the anti-shift elastic telescopic rod 850 forces the anti-shift protrusion 860 to be stuck in the recessed part of the side wall of the double sliding rail part 200, locking the position of the chassis part 310 to prevent the support frame assembly 300 from sliding during processing.

[0032] 2. Drive axle positioning and fixing stage Hoisting and initial placement The drive axle body 100 is placed on the supporting plates 710 on both sides through a hoisting device. At this time, the side push actuator 720 is in an open state and is acted upon by the outward rotation spring 772 , and the support surface of the drive axle contacts the supporting plates 710 .

[0033] Automatic positioning of side thrusters Power input: The power end 630 rotates the end shaft 610 to drive the long gear shaft 620 to rotate.

[0034] Transmission process: the long gear shaft 620 drives the vertical rack 775 to move downward, pushing the movable block 773 to slide along the lower slide rod 771, and the shifting column member 774 drives the frame rod member 724 to make the lower support arm 723 rotate around the side support 760.

[0035] Execution action: The side thrust block 722 of the upper arm 721 contacts the positioning and load-bearing part 110 of the drive axle on the inclined surface, applying a lateral thrust, and the drive axle body 100 moves axially until the positioning and load-bearing parts 110 on both sides are in contact with the side thrust execution component 720, realizing automatic centering and positioning of the midpoint of the drive axle body 100 and aligning it with the center plate 500.

[0036] Final tightening Fastening bolts are used to pass through the mounting holes 740 of the supporting plate 710 and connect to the positioning lugs 120 of the drive axle body 100 to ensure that the drive axle body 100 has no risk of displacement or falling off during processing.

[0037] 3. Collaboration among key institutions Synchronous connection component 400 The cross-rod structure ensures symmetrical movement of the two support frame assemblies 300, avoids manual adjustment errors, and improves positioning efficiency.

[0038] Side thrust drive assembly 600 and side thrust actuator 720 The rack-and-pinion transmission converts the rotational motion into the swing of the side thrust actuator 720, and realizes the axial fine adjustment of the drive axle through the inclined surface contact, thereby automatically completing the precise positioning.

[0039] Blocking assembly 800 The elastic locking design takes into account both adjustment flexibility and processing stability, and the cooperation between the anti-shift ridge 860 and the anti-shift protrusion 210 provides reliable locking.

[0040] 4. Reset and reuse After the processing is completed, loosen the fastening bolts, reverse the power end 630 to reset the side push actuator 720 and assist the rebound with the outward rotation spring 772, release the lock of the blocking assembly 800, and adjust the position of the support assembly to adapt to the next workpiece.
