Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fixtures for drilling forgings, and more particularly to an automated fixture and control method for drilling forgings. Background Technology

[0002] Forgings are metal parts formed through forging processes. They have advantages such as high strength and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for automotive components that need to withstand high loads. Therefore, forgings are widely used in automobile manufacturing, involving engines, transmission systems, chassis components, etc. Drilling holes in forgings is the process of drilling holes in forgings.

[0003] Currently, fixtures play a very important role in mechanical industrial production. Existing fixtures for drilling forgings basically require manual rotation of the fixture to tighten the workpiece. After the workpiece is processed, the fixture must be manually unscrewed. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses safety hazards, thereby reducing people's work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated fixture and control method for drilling forgings, which solves the problem in the prior art that relies on manual rotation of the fixture to tighten the workpiece, and then manual unscrewing of the fixture after the workpiece is processed. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses safety hazards and reduces people's work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automated fixture for drilling forgings, comprising a base, a machining disk, a clamping block, a fixed shaft, an adjusting assembly, a sliding assembly, and a driving assembly. The machining disk is engaged with the base and located on one side of the base. The clamping block is slidably connected to the machining disk and located on the side of the machining disk away from the base. The fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the base and located on the side of the base close to the machining disk. The adjusting assembly is located inside the machining disk. The driving assembly is located on one side of the adjusting assembly. The sliding assembly is located on the side of the adjusting assembly close to the base.

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes three adjustment blocks, a drive block, and a driven block. The adjustment blocks are fixedly connected to the clamping block and are located on the side of the clamping block near the processing disk. The drive block is slidably connected to one of the adjustment blocks, and the driven block is slidably connected to the remaining two adjustment blocks, both located on one side of the adjustment blocks.

[0007] The adjusting block, the driving block, and the driven block are provided with protruding strips.

[0008] The adjusting assembly further includes a rotating rack, a driven rack, and a toothed ring. The rotating rack is fixedly connected to the driving block and located on the outer wall of the driving block. The driven rack is fixedly connected to the driven block and located on the outer wall of the driven block. The toothed ring is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft and located on the outer wall of the fixed shaft. The rotating rack, the driven rack, and the toothed ring mesh with each other.

[0009] The sliding assembly includes a slider and a slide rail. The slide rail is fixedly connected to the base and located inside the processing tray. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail and located on the inner surface wall of the slide rail. The slider is fixedly connected to the driving block and the driven block respectively.

[0010] The drive assembly includes a threaded rod, a stop plate, and a drive motor. The threaded rod is slidably connected to the drive block and is located inside the drive block. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod and is located on one side of the threaded rod. The stop plate is fixedly connected to the threaded rod and is located on the side of the threaded rod away from the drive motor.

[0011] This invention also includes an automated fixture control method for drilling forgings, comprising the following steps:

[0012] The forging is placed in the center of the processing plate, and the control signal is activated to start the drive motor. The drive motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the drive block slides on the threaded rod.

[0013] The movement of the drive block causes the rotating rack to move as well. Since the rotating rack meshes with the toothed ring, it drives the toothed ring to rotate on the fixed shaft.

[0014] The driven rack meshes with the toothed ring, thereby driving the driven block to slide along with the driven rack;

[0015] The movement of the driven block and the driving block causes the protrusions on the driven block and the driving block to push the protrusions on the adjusting block to move, thereby causing the adjusting block to slide on the processing disk;

[0016] The movement of the adjusting block causes the clamping block to slide toward the center of the processing disc, thereby clamping and fixing the forging.

[0017] This invention discloses an automated fixture and control method for drilling forgings, comprising a base, a processing disk, a clamping block, a fixed shaft, an adjusting component, a sliding component, and a driving component. The processing disk is engaged with the base, the clamping block is slidably connected to the processing disk, and the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the base. The adjusting component is located inside the processing disk, the driving component is located on one side of the adjusting component, and the sliding component is located on the side of the adjusting component close to the base. By activating the driving component, the adjusting component moves within the processing disk, and the clamping block slides within the processing disk, thereby clamping the forging in the processing disk. This avoids the inefficiency and safety hazards associated with manual operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The first embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automated fixture for drilling forgings according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the processing disc according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The main view.

[0029] This invention provides an automated fixture for drilling forgings, comprising a base 101, a processing disc 102, a clamping block 103, a fixed shaft 104, an adjusting assembly 105, a sliding assembly 118, and a driving assembly 106. The adjusting assembly 105 includes three adjusting blocks 107, a driving block 108, a driven block 109, a rotating rack 110, a driven rack 111, and a gear ring 112. The sliding assembly 118 includes a slider 113 and a slide rail 114. The driving assembly 106 includes a threaded rod 115, a stop plate 116, and a drive motor 117. This solution solves the problem in the prior art where manual rotation of the fixture is required to tighten the workpiece, followed by manual unscrewing after workpiece processing. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also poses safety hazards, thus reducing work efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, the processing disk 102 is engaged with the base 101 and located on one side of the base 101. The clamping block 103 is slidably connected to the processing disk 102 and located on the side of the processing disk 102 away from the base 101. The fixed shaft 104 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and located on the side of the base 101 near the processing disk 102. The adjusting component 105 is located inside the processing disk 102. The driving component 106 is located on one side of the adjusting component 105. The sliding component 118 is connected to the adjusting component 105 near the base 101. On the side, the platform 101 is provided with an annular groove 119, which facilitates the insertion of the processing disk 102 into the annular groove 119. The sliding component 118 is used to limit the movement of the adjusting component 105 in the processing disk 102. By activating the driving component 106, the driving component 106 drives the adjusting component 105 to move in the processing disk 102. The driving component 106 causes the clamping block 103 to slide in the processing disk 102, thereby clamping the forging in the processing disk 102. This avoids the situation where manual operation reduces work efficiency and poses safety hazards.

[0031] The adjusting block 107 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 103 and located on the side of the clamping block 103 near the processing disk 102. The driving block 108 is slidably connected to one of the adjusting blocks 107. The driven block 109 is slidably connected to the remaining two adjusting blocks 107 and is located on one side of each adjusting block 107. The adjusting block 107, the driving block 108, and the driven block 109 are provided with protruding ribs. The rotating rack 110 is fixedly connected to the driving block 108 and located on the outer wall of the driving block 108. The driven rack 111 is fixedly connected to the driven block 109 and located on the outer wall of the driven block 109. The gear ring 112 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 104 and located on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 104. The rotating rack 110 and the driven rack 111 mesh with the gear ring 112. The adjusting block 107... The protrusions on the driven block 109 and the protrusions on the driving block 108 engage with each other. When the driving block 108 moves, the rotating rack 110 also moves with the driving block 108. At the same time, since the gear ring 112 meshes with the rotating rack 110, the gear ring 112 rotates on the fixed shaft 104. The driven rack 111 meshes with the gear ring 112, causing the driven block 109 to slide with the driven rack 111. The movement of the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 causes the protrusions on the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 to push the protrusions on the adjusting block 107 to move, thereby causing the adjusting block 107 to slide on the processing disk 102. The movement of the adjusting block 107 drives the clamping block 103 to move towards the center of the processing disk 102, clamping and fixing the forging.

[0032] Secondly, the slide rail 114 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and located inside the processing disk 102. The slider 113 is slidably connected to the slide rail 114 and located on the inner surface of the slide rail 114. The slider 113 is fixedly connected to the driving block 108 and the driven block 109 respectively. When the driving block 108 and the driven block 109 move in the processing disk 102, they will drive the slider 113 at the lower end of the driving block 108 and the driven block 109 to slide in the slide rail 114, thereby limiting the movement of the driving block 108 and the driven block 109.

[0033] Meanwhile, the threaded rod 115 is slidably connected to the drive block 108 and located inside the drive block 108. The drive motor 117 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 115 and located on one side of the threaded rod 115. The stop plate 116 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 115 and located on the side of the threaded rod 115 away from the drive motor 117. The stop plate 116 is used to limit the movement of the drive block 108. By starting the drive motor 117, the drive motor 117 drives the threaded rod 115 to rotate, thereby allowing the drive block 108 to slide on the threaded rod 115, thus adjusting the position of the drive block 108.

[0034] When using the automated fixture for drilling forgings according to this embodiment, by starting the drive motor 117, the threaded rod 115 is rotated by the drive motor 117, thereby causing the drive block 108 to slide on the threaded rod 115. The rotating rack 110 also moves with the drive block 108. At the same time, since the gear ring 112 meshes with the rotating rack 110, the gear ring 112 rotates on the fixed shaft 104. Furthermore, the driven rack 111 meshes with the gear ring 112, thereby... The driven block 109 slides along with the driven rack 111. The movement of the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 causes the protrusions on the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 to push the protrusions on the adjusting block 107 to move, thereby causing the adjusting block 107 to slide on the processing disk 102. The movement of the adjusting block 107 drives the clamping block 103 to slide towards the center of the processing disk 102, clamping and fixing the forging. This avoids the situation where manual operation reduces work efficiency and poses safety hazards.

[0035] The second embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0036] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automated fixture for drilling forgings according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention provides an automated fixture for drilling forgings, which further includes a fixing component 201, the fixing component 201 including a mounting ring 202 and a fixing bolt 203.

[0038] The mounting ring 202 is fixedly connected to the processing disk 102 and is located on the outer wall of the processing disk 102. The fixing bolt 203 is rotatably connected to the mounting ring 202 and passes through the mounting ring 202. The base 101 is provided with a threaded hole 204. The processing disk 102 is inserted into the annular groove 119, so that the fixing bolt 203 on the mounting ring 202 is aligned with the threaded hole 204. By rotating the fixing bolt 203, the processing disk 102 is fixed on the base 101. The above connection method facilitates disassembly to inspect the internal condition of the processing disk 102.

[0039] The third embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0040] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of an automated fixture control method for drilling forgings according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] This invention provides an automated fixture control method for drilling forgings, comprising the following steps:

[0042] S301: Place the forging at the center of the processing disk 102, activate the control signal to start the drive motor 117, and drive the threaded rod 115 to rotate, and also cause the drive block 108 to slide on the threaded rod 115.

[0043] S302: The movement of the drive block 108 drives the rotating rack 110 to move as well. Since the rotating rack 110 meshes with the toothed ring 112, the toothed ring 112 is driven to rotate on the fixed shaft 104.

[0044] S303: The driven rack 111 meshes with the toothed ring 112, thereby driving the driven block 109 to slide along with the driven rack 111;

[0045] S304: The movement of the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 causes the protrusions on the driven block 109 and the driving block 108 to push the protrusions on the adjusting block 107 to move, thereby causing the adjusting block 107 to slide on the processing disk 102;

[0046] S305: The movement of the adjusting block 107 causes the clamping block 103 to slide toward the center of the processing disk 102, thereby clamping and fixing the forging.

[0047] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
