TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of machining auxiliary tools, in particular to a milling and drilling centering rod. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of machining, especially in the process of drilling and milling machines, accurately determining the center position of the workpiece (centering) is the basic link to ensure the machining accuracy. Currently, there are three common centering methods. The first is the scratch centering method: the center position is marked on the surface of the workpiece by scratching, and the milling cutter is aligned with the scratch mark for processing. This method is simple to operate but has low precision, and is suitable for single-piece processing or scenarios with low precision requirements. The second is the trial cutting method: the workpiece surface is slightly cut, the cutting mark is observed to adjust the position, and the position is gradually positioned through multiple trial cutting. This method is flexible but has low efficiency, and is suitable for rough machining or equipment debugging stage. The third is the dial gauge centering method: the relative position of the workpiece axis and the milling cutter is measured by using the dial gauge, and the readings on both sides are made consistent by adjusting the workbench. This method has high precision but is complicated to operate, and is suitable for high-precision part processing.
[0003] For the machining of rod parts, the traditional centering method is complicated to operate and has low precision. It mainly relies on the contact of the tool symmetric structure with the high point of the workpiece to find the center. The finding process depends on manual visual sense and feeling, and the precision is greatly affected by the operation experience. Therefore, it is easy to have a deviation of more than ±0.1mm, and thus there is an urgent need to innovate the structure to improve the precision, efficiency and scene adaptability of the centering and finding.

[0023] The connecting holes are arranged on the herringbone positioning plate and the clamping rod, the herringbone positioning plate and the clamping rod are connected through bolts at the connecting holes, the bolts are screwed into the rotating shaft of the herringbone positioning plate, and a certain gap should be reserved between the herringbone positioning plate and the clamping rod during connection, so that the herringbone positioning plate can rotate freely.
