[0028] See Figs. 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a finishing fixture for a multi-lobed workpiece A, comprising: a base plate 1, equipped with an adjustable positioning connection assembly; pads 2, multiple pads 2 detachably connected to the base plate 1, the connection position of the pads 2 and the base plate 1 being adjustable according to the outer ring size of the workpiece A, the pads 2 supporting the bottom of the workpiece A; limiting structures 4, multiple limiting structures 4 disposed on the base plate 1 and connected to the adjustable positioning connection assembly, the connection position of the limiting structures 4 and the adjustable positioning connection assembly being adjustable according to the inner ring size of the workpiece A; and interlayers 3, multiple interlayers 3 disposed on the pads 2 and connected to the outer side of the limiting structures 4. The aforementioned finishing fixture for the multi-lobed workpiece A, through the connection between the adjustable positioning connection assembly on the base plate 1 and the limiting structures 4, achieves adjustment of the connection position between the limiting structures 4 and the base plate 1, ensuring that the connection position of the multiple limiting structures 4 satisfies the limiting of the inner ring of the workpiece A. The pads 2 are detachably connected to the base plate 1, and the connection positions of multiple pads 2 and the base plate 1 can be adjusted to ensure stable support for the entire bottom of workpiece A. The interlayer 3 is placed on the pads 2 and connected to the outside of the limiting structure 4. The limiting structure 4 limits the inner ring of workpiece A, and the interlayer 3 directly contacts the inner ring of workpiece A, ensuring stable and uniform force distribution on workpiece A. Simultaneously, it protects the surface of workpiece A, preventing damage during precision machining and ensuring the quality of the finished surface.

[0029] In one embodiment, the adjustable positioning connection assembly includes multiple second fasteners 6 and positioning pins 7, and the limiting structure 4 is detachably connected to the second fasteners 6 and the positioning pins 7. Multiple connection holes are provided on the base plate 1. By adjusting the connection between the limiting structure 4 and the connection holes at different positions on the base plate 1, and by quickly positioning and fastening it with the second fasteners 6 and positioning pins 7, the position of the limiting structure 4 relative to the base plate 1 can be adjusted to satisfy the limiting of the inner rings of different workpieces A by the multiple limiting structures 4.

[0030] In one embodiment, a first fastener 5 is also included, through which the interlayer 3 and the limiting structure 4 are connected. The first fastener 5 passes through a through-hole in the interlayer 3 and is screwed into the limiting structure 4, thereby tightly fixing the interlayer 3 to the limiting structure 4. This connection method allows the interlayer 3 to be installed and removed independently, and an appropriate shape of interlayer 3 can be replaced according to different workpiece A shapes and sizes to accommodate the limiting clamping of different workpieces A, reducing reliance on different specifications of tooling and saving tooling change steps.

[0031] Optionally, the first fastener 5 is a tension bolt or screw, and each interlayer 3 is connected to the limiting structure 4 by two, three, or four first fasteners 5, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the interlayer 3 and the limiting structure 4. Optionally, the screw is a countersunk screw.

[0032] In one embodiment, the interlayer 3 is an aluminum pad with a certain degree of toughness, which can protect the surface of workpiece A and prevent the surface of workpiece A from being scratched or indented.

[0033] In one embodiment, the shape of the inner arc surface of the interlayer 3 matches the shape of the outer arc surface of the limiting structure 4, ensuring a tight fit between the inner side of the interlayer 3 and the outer side of the limiting structure 4; the shape of the outer arc surface of the interlayer 3 matches the shape of the inner arc surface of the workpiece A, ensuring a fit between the outer side of the interlayer 3 and the inner arc surface of the workpiece A. By forming a uniform surface contact, rather than point contact, between the interlayer 3, the limiting structure 4, and the workpiece A, the clamping force and processing stress are dispersed, reducing local stress concentration on the workpiece A. This makes the workpiece A more stably and evenly stressed during processing, preventing deformation or surface damage to the workpiece A, and meeting the precision machining requirements of thin-walled or easily deformable workpieces A. It is understood that the outer arc surface of the interlayer 3 and the inner arc surface of the workpiece A are at least partially in contact, or may be in full contact, depending on the shape of the inner structure of the workpiece A. As long as the outer arc surface of the interlayer 3 can reliably limit and stably support the inner arc surface of the workpiece A, it is acceptable. Fig. 2 As shown, the outer arc surface of the interlayer 3 can fit tightly with the inner circular surface of the annular structure of the inner ring of workpiece A, thus providing reliable positioning and stable support for workpiece A without having to directly contact the entire inner wall of the internal cavity structure of workpiece A.

[0034] In one embodiment, the limiting structure 4 includes a bottom, a rib, and a sidewall. The two sides of the rib are respectively connected to the bottom and the sidewall. The bottom is detachably connected to the adjustable positioning connection assembly to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0035] In one embodiment, the base plate 1 is annular or near-annular in shape and has four extensions evenly distributed circumferentially. Each extension has multiple connection points. There are four pads 2, each detachably connected to one of the four extensions. By selecting different connection points on the extensions, the radial position of the pads 2 on the extensions can be adjusted to accommodate changes in the outer size of the workpiece A, providing comprehensive support for the bottom of workpieces A of different sizes and ensuring stability and reliability.

[0036] In one embodiment, there are four limiting structures 4, which are respectively connected to four extensions. When workpiece A needs to be divided into four petals, this connection scheme can be selected to meet the installation requirements when dividing the four-petal workpiece A.

[0037] Optionally, there are six limiting structures 4. Two of the six limiting structures 4 are respectively connected to two opposite extensions, and the other four limiting structures 4 are arranged in pairs on the other two opposite extensions. This connection scheme can be selected when workpiece A needs to be divided into six pieces, which meets the installation requirements when dividing the six-piece workpiece A. After workpiece A is divided, as follows... Fig. 3 It has six petals as shown.

[0038] Optionally, a limiting protrusion is provided on the side of the pad 2 away from the interlayer 3 to achieve limiting from the outer ring of the workpiece inward.

[0039] The aforementioned multi-lobed workpiece A finishing fixture is connected to the limiting structure 4 via an adjustable positioning connection component on the base plate 1. This allows for adjustment of the connection position between the limiting structure 4 and the base plate 1, ensuring that the connection positions of the multiple limiting structures 4 can satisfy the limiting of the inner ring of workpiece A. The pads 2 are detachably connected to the base plate 1, and the connection positions of the multiple pads 2 and the base plate 1 can be adjusted to provide stable support for the entire bottom of workpiece A. The interlayer 3 is placed on the pads 2 and connected to the outside of the limiting structure 4. The limiting structure 4 limits the inner ring of workpiece A, and the interlayer 3 directly contacts the inner ring of workpiece A, ensuring stable and uniform force distribution on workpiece A. Simultaneously, it protects the surface of workpiece A, preventing damage during finishing and ensuring the quality of the finished surface.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
