However, in existing processes, clamping devices often employ a constant high-strength clamping method to prevent workpiece displacement during milling. As the milling depth gradually increases, the stress state of the workpiece changes. If a high-strength clamping force is maintained, it can easily cause elastic or plastic deformation of the sheet metal, leading to a decrease in the dimensional accuracy of the thin-walled areas of the mid-frame, and even irreversible machining defects.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.

[0017] Depend on Figures 1 to 7 As can be seen, the milling device for the faceplate support 1 described in this embodiment includes a machine base 2; the machine base 2 is provided with a clamping device; and the machine base 2 is provided with a milling cutter 21 on the top of the clamping device. The clamping device includes a clamping seat 3; a fixed clamping arm 31 is provided on the top of the clamping seat 3; a sliding seat 4 is slidably provided on the clamping seat 3 in the horizontal direction; a sliding clamping arm 41 is provided on the top of the sliding seat 4; a clamping groove 42 for clamping the faceplate support 1 is formed between the fixed clamping arm 31 and the sliding clamping arm 41. The sliding clamping arm 41 is equipped with a gripper 5 that extends and retracts horizontally at one end near the fixed clamping arm 31; the sliding seat 4 is equipped with an adsorption seat 6; the top of the adsorption seat 6 is equipped with an adsorption disk 61; the adsorption disk 61 is located in the clamping groove 42; the adsorption seat 6 is detachably connected to a sealing sleeve 7; the sealing sleeve 7 protrudes from the adsorption disk 61; and a linkage component is provided between the sealing sleeve 7 and the gripper 5.

[0018] Specifically, in this embodiment, the milling device for the faceplate support 1 is used by first placing the faceplate support 1 in the clamping groove 42 between the fixed clamping arm 31 and the sliding clamping arm 41. The faceplate support 1 is provided with an insertion hole 11 that cooperates with the sealing sleeve 7. The insertion hole 11 of the faceplate support 1 is aligned and inserted with the sealing sleeve 7, and the sealing sleeve 7 plays a positioning role. Then, the sliding seat 4 is driven to move, so that the jaws 5 of the sliding clamping arm 41 cooperate with the fixed clamping arm 31 to clamp the faceplate support 1. Then, the milling cutter 21 is started to mill the faceplate support 1. When the faceplate support 1 is milled to a certain extent, the milling cutter 21 mills the sealing sleeve 7, thereby triggering the linkage component to reduce the clamping force of the jaws 5 on the faceplate support 1, thereby preventing the faceplate support 1 from deforming. After the milling is completed, the faceplate support 1 is unloaded and a new sealing sleeve 7 is replaced.

[0019] This embodiment describes a milling device for a faceplate support 1. The adsorption seat 6 has an adsorption cavity 62; the adsorption disk 61 has multiple adsorption holes 63 communicating with the adsorption cavity 62; and the sliding seat 4 has an adsorption vacuum tube 64 communicating with the adsorption cavity 62. With this configuration, when the faceplate support 1 is placed in the clamping groove 42 between the fixed clamping arm 31 and the sliding clamping arm 41, a vacuum is drawn at the adsorption vacuum tube 64, thereby firmly adsorbing the faceplate support 1 onto the top of the adsorption disk 61.

[0020] This embodiment describes a milling device for a faceplate support 1. The adsorption seat 6 has a lower cavity 81 and an upper cavity 82. The upper cavity 82 is located at the top of the lower cavity 81. A partition 85 is provided between the upper cavity 82 and the lower cavity 81. The adsorption seat 6 has a lower vacuum tube 83 communicating with the lower cavity 81 and an upper vacuum tube 84 communicating with the upper cavity 82. In this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 7 has an upper air passage 71 and a lower air passage 72. The top of the upper air passage 71 is higher than the top of the lower air passage 72. The upper air passage 71 communicates with the upper cavity 82, and the lower air passage 72 communicates with the lower cavity 81.

[0021] The milling device for a faceplate support 1 described in this embodiment includes a sliding clamping arm 41 with a clamping sealing cavity 91; a clamping jaw 5 including a clamping part 51, a connecting part 52, and a sliding part 53; the sliding part 53 is slidably disposed in the clamping sealing cavity 91; the clamping part 51 protrudes out of the clamping sealing cavity 91; the clamping part 51 is connected to the sliding part 53 through the connecting part 52; a sealing spring 54 is provided between the end of the sliding part 53 near the clamping part 51 and the clamping sealing cavity 91. This embodiment describes a milling device for a faceplate support 1. The linkage assembly includes a linkage cavity 92 disposed in a sliding seat 4 and a piston head 93 movably disposed in the linkage cavity 92. One end of the piston head 93 is provided with an upper piston rod 94 and a lower piston rod 95. The upper piston rod 94 is movably disposed in an upper cavity 82. The lower piston rod 95 is movably disposed in a lower cavity 81. The linkage assembly also includes an air pipe 96 disposed in the sliding seat 4. The other end of the piston head 93 is connected to the cavity between the linkage cavity 92 and one end of the air pipe 96. The end of the sliding part 53 near the clamping part 51 is connected to the cavity between the clamping and sealing cavity 91 and the other end of the air pipe 96. The cavity between the piston head 93 and the linkage cavity 92 is connected to the atmosphere.

[0022] Specifically, in the milling device for the faceplate support 1 described in this embodiment, when in use, the sealing sleeve 7 is first installed in the positioning through hole 86 of the partition plate 85, and the bottom of the sealing sleeve 7 is sealed to the positioning through hole 86, while the middle part of the sealing sleeve 7 is sealed to the clearance through hole 65; then the faceplate support 1 is placed in the clamping groove 42 between the fixed clamping arm 31 and the sliding clamping arm 41, wherein the faceplate support 1 is provided with an insertion hole 11 that cooperates with the sealing sleeve 7. The insertion hole 11 of the faceplate support 1 is aligned and inserted with the sealing sleeve 7, and the sealing sleeve 7 plays a positioning role. Then the sliding seat 4 is driven to move, so that the jaw 5 of the sliding clamping arm 41 cooperates with the fixed clamping arm 31 to clamp the faceplate support 1; at this time, the volume of the cavity between the other end of the piston head 93 and the linkage cavity 92 is small, and under the action of the sealing spring 54, the sliding part 53 is in a position away from the fixed clamping arm 31; Next, a vacuum is drawn at the adsorption vacuum tube 64 to firmly attach the faceplate support 1 to the top of the adsorption plate 61. At the same time, a vacuum is drawn at both the upper vacuum tube 84 and the lower vacuum tube 83, that is, negative pressure is generated in the upper cavity 82 and the lower cavity 81, which applies a pulling force to the upper piston rod 94 and the lower piston rod 95 respectively, causing the piston head 93 to move towards the upper cavity 82 and the lower cavity 81. Meanwhile, the sliding part 53 moves towards the fixed clamping arm 31 through the air tube 96, thereby driving the clamping part 51 to move towards the fixed clamping arm 31. At this time, the gripper 5 applies the maximum clamping force to the faceplate support 1, and stably clamps the faceplate support 1.

[0023] Then, the milling cutter 21 is started to mill the face shell support 1. When the face shell support 1 is milled to a certain extent, the milling cutter 21 mills the sealing sleeve 7 until the top of the upper air passage 71 is milled off. Then, the upper cavity 82 is connected to the outside atmosphere through the upper air passage 71, thereby eliminating the tension with the upper piston rod 94. At this time, the piston head 93 can be reset a certain distance away from the upper cavity 82 and the lower cavity 81. Thus, through the air pipe 96, the sliding part 53 and the clamping part 51 are reset a certain distance away from the fixed clamping arm 31, so that the clamping claw 5 reduces the clamping force applied to the face shell support 1. After the milling cutter 21 mills off the top of the lower air passage 72, the lower cavity 81 is connected to the outside atmosphere through the lower air passage 72, thereby eliminating the tension with the lower piston rod 95. At this time, the piston head 93 can be completely reset in the direction away from the upper cavity 82 and the lower cavity 81, thereby allowing the sliding part 53 and the clamping part 51 to be completely reset in the direction away from the fixed clamping arm 31 through the air pipe 96, so that the gripper 5 further reduces the clamping force applied to the face support 1.

[0024] Through the above-described configuration, this embodiment can gradually reduce the clamping force of the jaws 5 on the faceplate support 1 as the milling depth of the faceplate support 1 increases, thereby effectively reducing the risk of deformation of the faceplate support 1 under stress.

[0025] This embodiment describes a milling device for a faceplate support 1. The adsorption plate 61 has a through-hole 65; the partition plate 85 has a through-hole 86; the bottom of the sealing sleeve 7 is detachably connected to the positioning hole 86; the middle portion of the sealing sleeve 7 passes through the through-hole 65; the bottom of the sealing sleeve 7 is sealed to the positioning hole 86; and the middle portion of the sealing sleeve 7 is sealed to the through-hole 65. The sealing sleeve 7 is assembled and disassembled using the above-described configuration. The connection between the bottom of the sealing sleeve 7 and the positioning hole 86 can be a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a detachable interference fit, etc.

[0026] The milling device for the faceplate support 1 described in this embodiment has multiple adsorption holes 63 evenly distributed on the adsorption plate 61. This arrangement allows the faceplate support 1 to be stably fixed to the adsorption plate 61.

[0027] The milling device for the faceplate support 1 described in this embodiment includes a vise 22 on the machine base 2; the vise 22 has a fixed end and a movable end; the fixed end of the vise 22 is connected to a fixed clamping arm 31; the movable end of the vise 22 abuts against a sliding clamping arm 41; the above arrangement can provide an initial clamping force to the faceplate support 1.

[0028] The machine base 2 is equipped with a transverse movement mechanism 23 for driving the vise 22 to move laterally and a longitudinal movement mechanism 24 for driving the vise 22 to move longitudinally. In this embodiment, a milling device for a faceplate support 1 is provided, wherein the machine base 2 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 25 for driving the milling cutter 21 to move up and down. The transverse movement mechanism 23, the longitudinal movement mechanism 24, and the lifting mechanism 25 can be linear modules, cylinders, or linear motors, etc.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
