[0002] From the attached drawings in the instruction manual Figure 4 It can be understood that the end cap workpiece is flat at both the top and bottom, with a sloping surface in the middle. Holes need to be drilled on the sloping surface. However, in the existing technology, when machining the sloping holes on the end cap, multi-axis machining centers are usually used to machine the sloping holes. However, the equipment resources of multi-axis machining centers are difficult to allocate, and the concentration of processes is not conducive to batch processing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that multi-axis machining centers are required for drilling inclined holes in end caps, the present invention proposes a positioning device and drilling method for machining inclined holes in end caps.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A positioning device for machining oblique holes in end caps, comprising: A connecting base, the connecting base including a planar end connected to the machining plane of the drilling machine and a machining end for fixing the end cap workpiece, the end face of the machining end being at a certain angle to the horizontal plane; A workpiece fixing assembly is disposed on the end face of the processing end and is used to fix the end cap workpiece. A drilling auxiliary component is disposed on the planar end, and the auxiliary end of the drilling auxiliary component is located at the upper end of the processing end.

[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: An optimized version of the above technical solution is that a product limiting groove is provided on the end face of the processing end, and the workpiece fixing assembly is located in the product limiting groove.

[0006] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that a waste collection tank is also provided inside the product limiting groove.

[0007] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that the workpiece fixing assembly includes a pull rod screwed to the end face of the processing end, a pressure cap slidably disposed on the pull rod, and a fixing nut screwed to the other end of the pull rod and located above the pressure cap.

[0008] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that the lower part of the pressure cap is stepped, which matches the upper opening of the end cap assembly.

[0009] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that the drilling auxiliary assembly includes an auxiliary bracket vertically arranged on the plane end and located on the side of the processing end, a positioning block horizontally and vertically arranged on the auxiliary bracket, and a drill sleeve arranged at the other end of the positioning block. The drill sleeve is vertical and located at the upper end of the processing end.

[0010] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that the upper end of the positioning block is provided with an adjustment waist hole, and the positioning block and the auxiliary support are connected by an adjustment bolt passing through the adjustment waist hole, and the front-to-back distance of the positioning block is adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the adjustment bolt.

[0011] An optimized version of the above technical solution is that a positioning groove is provided on the lower surface of the front end of the positioning block.

[0012] An optimized solution to the above technical solution is that the auxiliary bracket and the flat end are positioned by a positioning pin and then fixedly connected by a positioning screw.

[0013] The present invention also provides a drilling method using the aforementioned positioning device for machining oblique holes in end caps, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Place the flat end of the connecting base on the surface of the drilling machine table; Step 2: Install the auxiliary bracket on the upper flat end of the connecting base; Step 3: Screw the pull rod into the inclined surface of the machined end of the connecting base; Step 4: Insert the end cap workpiece through the tie rod, with the bottom contacting the inclined surface of the processing end. Then, insert the pressure cap through the tie rod to fit the upper end of the end cap workpiece, and screw the fixing nut to the upper end of the tie rod to apply pressure to the end cap workpiece to achieve a pre-tightened state. Step 5: Install the drill bushing onto one end of the positioning block, and after determining the drilling position of the end cap workpiece using the drill bushing, install it onto the auxiliary bracket using the adjusting bolts. Step 6: Loosen the fixing nut, gently rotate the end cap workpiece, move the positioning block forward so that the position of the inclined hole on the spherical surface of the end cap workpiece matches the positioning groove at the end of the positioning block, and then tighten the fixing nut to fix the end cap workpiece, and tighten the adjusting bolt to fix the bracket. Step 7: Then, the drilling machine work platform is used to fix the connecting base, and the drilling machine is used to drill holes in the end cap workpiece; Step 8: Loosen the fixing nut and adjusting bolt to allow the end cap workpiece to rotate. Step 9: Repeat steps 6 to 8 to drill holes in the entire end cap assembly.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: The device provided by this invention places the end cap workpiece on the inclined surface of the base. The base in the positioning device keeps the plane of the inclined hole of the end cap workpiece consistent with the machining plane of the drilling machine. Then, the positioning block installed on the bracket restricts the positioning of the inclined hole in the circumferential direction of the product. After the product is positioned and pressed, the device uses the outer circle of the bottom plane of the end cap and the shape of the inclined hole to form a positioning principle of one surface and two pins, thereby realizing the machining of the inclined hole on a conventional drilling machine. This solves the problem that the existing technology requires the use of a multi-axis machining center to drill holes, which is beneficial for the batch processing of end cap workpieces.

[0020] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, this technical solution mainly aims to solve the problem of... Figure 4 The inclined drilling of the head workpiece 9 is achieved by machining the outer dimensions of the head workpiece 9 after the outer dimensions have been machined. The inclined hole is then machined using the outer dimensions for positioning. This technical solution mainly consists of three parts: the connecting base 1, the workpiece positioning, and the workpiece drilling aid, as detailed below: The connecting base 1 mainly consists of two parts: a flat end 11, which is used to connect with the drilling platform and is rectangular in shape, and a machining end 12. The cross-section of the machining end 12 is a right-angled triangle, and the inclined surface of the machining end 12 is the placement surface. A product limiting groove 13 is provided on the placement surface for placing the end cap workpiece 9. A waste collection groove 14 is also provided in the middle of the product limiting groove 13 for collecting waste generated during the drilling process.

[0021] The workpiece drilling auxiliary part mainly includes two parts: auxiliary bracket 5 and positioning block 6. The side of the bottom surface of the auxiliary bracket 5 with the positioning pin 52 hole is aligned with the position of the positioning pin 52 hole of the connecting base 1. The positioning pin 52 is inserted, and the auxiliary bracket 5 is connected to the connecting base 1 by positioning screw 51 and fixed on the connecting base 1.

[0022] The upper end of the positioning block 6 is provided with an adjustment waist hole 61, and an adjustment bolt 62 passes through the adjustment waist hole 61. Thus, the positioning block 6 is connected to the auxiliary bracket 5 through the adjustment bolt 62. The front end of the positioning block 6 is provided with a drill sleeve 7 and a positioning groove 8, and the positioning groove 8 is located below the drill sleeve 7. For the workpiece positioning part, there is mainly a pull rod 2 that is vertically screwed to the inclined surface of the processing end 12. A pressure cover 3 is slidably set on the railing. At the same time, a fixing nut 4 is screwed on the pull rod 2. The fixing nut 4 is located at the upper end of the pressure cover 3 and is used to apply pressure to the pressure cover 3. Meanwhile, the cross-section of the pressure cap 3 is stepped, mainly to match the end cap 9 and better limit the end cap 9.

[0023] The specific steps of the drilling method using this technical solution are as follows: Step 1: Place the flat end 11 of the connecting base 1 on the surface of the drilling machine table; Step 2: Align the side of the auxiliary bracket 5 with the hole for the positioning pin 52 drilled on the bottom with the position for the hole for the positioning pin 52 drilled on the top of the connecting base 1, insert the positioning pin 52, and then connect the auxiliary bracket 5 with the connecting base 1 through the positioning screw 51 and fix it on the connecting base 1. Step 3: Screw the pull rod 2 into the threaded hole on the bevel of the machined end 12 of the connecting base 1, thus completing the assembly of the base assembly; Step 4: Insert the end cap 9 through the pull rod 2 and embed the bottom into the product limiting groove 13. Then, insert the pressure cap 3 through the pull rod 2 to fit the upper end of the end cap 9, and make clearance fit with the small hole at one end of the end cap. Then, screw the fixing nut 4 to the upper end of the pull rod 2 to apply pressure to the end cap 9 and achieve a pre-tightened state. Step 5: Install the drill sleeve 7 onto one end of the positioning block 6, and after determining the drilling position of the end cap workpiece 9 using the drill sleeve 7, install it onto the auxiliary bracket 5 using the adjusting bolt 62. Step 6: Loosen the fixing nut 4, gently rotate the end cap workpiece 9, move the positioning block 6 forward so that the position of the inclined hole on the spherical surface of the end cap workpiece 9 matches the positioning groove 8 at the end of the positioning block 6, thereby tightening the fixing nut 4 to fix the end cap workpiece 9, and tightening the adjusting bolt 62 to fix the bracket. The oblique holes on the end cap workpiece 9 are quickly and accurately positioned due to the constraints of the auxiliary support 5 and the positioning block 6. The assembly state of the parts has formed a positioning consistent with the principle of one side and two pins.

[0024] Step 7: Then, the drilling machine work platform is fixed to the connecting base 1, and the drilling machine is used to drill holes in the end cap workpiece 9; Step 8: Loosen the fixing nut 4 and adjusting bolt 62 to allow the end cap workpiece 9 to rotate. Step 9: Repeat steps 6 to 8 to drill holes in the entire end cap assembly.

[0025] The device developed by this company utilizes the principle of one side and two pins to place and clamp the product on an inclined plane, enabling inclined plane machining on a conventional drilling machine. This device is stable and reliable.
