Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machining center tooling, in particular to a tooling fixture for a high-speed machining center curved surface die. Background Art

[0002] In the field of high-speed machining centers, machining of curved workpieces is becoming increasingly common. Currently, traditional fixtures have many limitations when machining curved workpieces. On the one hand, the contact area between existing fixtures and curved workpieces is small, making it difficult to provide sufficient clamping force during machining, causing the workpiece to easily shift, affecting machining accuracy and surface quality, and even causing machining accidents. On the other hand, for complex workpieces with curved surfaces on both sides, traditional fixtures cannot effectively clamp them. Special fixtures are often required based on the specific shape of the workpiece, which not only increases production costs, but also extends production cycles, reduces production efficiency, and brings great inconvenience to actual production.

[0003] In addition, in order to achieve convenient adjustment and fixation of the fixture and the workbench, most of the current fixtures are tightened by screws and fixed by friction. However, during high-speed processing, due to the influence of factors such as cutting force and vibration, this fixing method can easily cause the fixture to shift in the fixed position, resulting in a decrease in the positioning accuracy of the workpiece, which in turn affects product quality and processing consistency, and is difficult to meet the modern manufacturing industry's demand for high-precision and high-efficiency processing. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of tooling fixture that can effectively solve the above problems to improve the processing quality and efficiency of curved workpieces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fixture for a high-speed machining center curved surface mold to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] The top end face of described sliding panel also is provided with an interlocking structure, and the interlocking structure of described sliding panel also is provided with an interlocking structure.

[0006] Preferably, both sides of the top of the workbench are provided with sliding grooves matching the baffle, and a clamping groove is provided above the sliding grooves.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting member includes a spring, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the bottom end of the pull rod, and the top of the spring is connected to the bottom end of the sleeve, a protrusion is fixed to the bottom end of the spring, and the protrusion is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod, a connecting rod is fixed on the inner side of the protrusion, a limiting block is fixed on the inner side of the connecting rod, and the limiting block is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting block is hexagonal in shape and matches the slot provided above the workbench.

[0009] Preferably, the driving member includes a threaded block, which is fixed to the top of the support block. The internal thread of the threaded block is connected to a first screw rod, and the inner side of the first screw rod is rotatably connected to the push plate through a bearing shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping member includes a fixed block, which is fixed on the inner side of the limiting rod, the inner side of the fixed block is rotatably connected to a first rotating block, the inner side of the first rotating block is rotatably connected to a second rotating block, and the inner side of the second rotating block is fixed with a top block.

[0011] Preferably, the first rotating block and the second rotating block are semicircular in shape.

[0012] Preferably, an arc-shaped limiting groove is provided inside the fixed block, and the inside of the arc-shaped limiting groove is connected to the first rotating block via a sliding block.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping piece on the left is inclined outward, the clamping piece on the right is inclined inward, and the clamping piece on the right is slightly wider than the clamping piece on the left.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The workbench is made of high-strength cast iron, providing a solid and stable base platform for the entire fixture, ensuring stability during processing. The support block can slide freely in the T-shaped slot of the workbench through the cooperation of the fixed rod and the baffle, facilitating quick position adjustment. At the same time, the design of the spring, bump, connecting rod and limit block in the limiter enables the support block to be precisely positioned after installation, effectively preventing loosening and offset between the support block and the workbench during processing, and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0016] A pull ring is provided at the top of the pull rod to facilitate manual operation by the operator. The cooperation between the pull rod and the spring and other components enables the support block to be quickly positioned and fixed without the need for complex tools. This significantly improves the installation and adjustment efficiency of the fixture, shortens the preparation time, and improves the processing efficiency.

[0017] The cooperation between the first screw in the driving part, the threaded block and the push plate can accurately control the movement of the push plate, thereby driving the limit rod and the clamping part to move inward. The clamping part adopts a combined structure of a fixed block, a first rotating block, a second rotating block and a top block. The first rotating block and the second rotating block can be slightly rotated so that the top block can contact the curved surface of the workpiece over a large area, effectively improving the clamping stability and fit of the curved workpiece, avoiding displacement of the workpiece during processing, and ensuring the processing quality. The second screw at the center of the slot plate can adjust the position of the ball so that it can move to the center of the curved workpiece for support, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the tooling fixture to curved workpieces of different shapes and sizes; at the same time, the clamping parts designed with different inclination angles and widths on the left and right sides can meet the clamping needs of various curved workpieces, expand the scope of application of the tooling fixture, and improve equipment utilization.

The baffle 4 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed rod 3, and the side wall of the support block 2 is fixed with a sleeve 5. A sliding hole is opened inside the sleeve 5 to ensure that the pull rod 6 slides inside. The pull rod 6 is inserted into the inside of the sleeve 5, and a pull ring is provided on the top of the pull rod 6 to facilitate manual operation by the operator. By cooperating with the spring 7, the protrusion 8 and other components, the support block 2 can be quickly positioned and fixed. A limit piece is provided at the bottom end of the pull rod 6;

[0029] The top of the support block 2 is provided with a driving part, and a push plate 13 is fixed on the inner side of the driving part, and a limit rod 14 is fixed on the inner side of the push plate 13. When the limit rod 14 moves inward, the movement inside the slot plate 15 can limit the movement of the clamping part.

[0030] The limiting part includes a spring 7, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the bottom end of the pull rod 6, and the top of the spring 7 is connected to the bottom end of the sleeve 5. The spring 7 is used to provide a downward thrust to the protrusion 8. The bottom end of the spring 7 is fixed with a protrusion 8, and the protrusion 8 is used to transmit the downward thrust to the limiting block 10 through the connecting rod 9. The limiting block 10 is hexagonal in shape and matches the slot opened above the workbench 1 to ensure that it can fit tightly after installation to achieve precise limiting of the support block 2, and the protrusion 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod 6, and the connecting rod 9 is fixed on the inner side of the protrusion 8. The limiting block 10 is fixed on the inner side of the connecting rod 9, and the limiting block 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 3.

The clamping member on the left side is inclined outward, and the clamping member on the right side is inclined inward, and the clamping member on the right side is slightly wider than the clamping member on the left side.

[0033] Working principle: When a tooling fixture for a curved mold of a high-speed machining center is put into use, when it is necessary to support the curved workpiece, the user first picks up the support block 2 and aligns the baffle 4 with the slide position of the workbench 1. After alignment, the pull rod 6 is pulled upward. When pulling, the protrusion 8 moves upward to squeeze the spring 7. When the protrusion 8 moves upward, it drives the limit block 10 to move upward at the same time on the outer wall of the fixed rod 3 through the connecting rod 9. Then the baffle 4 is inserted and the support block 2 is moved to the appropriate position. The fixing rod 3 is rotated by the tool. When the fixing rod 3 rotates inside the support block 2, the baffle 4 is driven to move upward, thereby achieving support between the baffle 4 and the support block 2. When the baffle 4 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the workbench 1, the support block 2 is fixed above the workbench 1. Then the user releases the pull rod 6 and pushes the protrusion 8 downward by the reaction force of the spring 7. When the protrusion 8 moves downward, it drives the limit block through the connecting rod 9. When the workpiece is to be fixed, the center of the curved surface of the workpiece is first fitted with the ball 21, and then the user rotates the first screw 12. When the first screw 12 rotates, it moves inward inside the threaded block 11. When moving, the limit rod 14 is driven inward by the push plate 13. The limit rod 14 drives the fixing block 16 to move inward and fit the curved surface of the workpiece. When fitting, when different positions of the curved surface contact the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 18, the first rotating block 17 and the second rotating block 18 rotate slightly, thereby achieving a large area of ​​contact between the top block 19 and the curved surface of the workpiece. Then the user installs the clamp on the right side above the worktable 1, and then slides it to the left to contact the side wall of the workpiece, thereby fixing the workpiece.
