Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile steering knuckle processing, in particular to a precision milling fixture for automobile steering knuckle. Background Art

[0002] The automobile steering knuckle is a key component of the automobile steering system. It is responsible for transmitting steering force and bearing the front load of the automobile to ensure the stable steering of the automobile. Precision milling is an important step in the manufacturing process of the steering knuckle. It involves the use of high-precision milling machines to perform precision machining of the steering knuckle material to achieve the design requirements of size and surface roughness. In the process of precision milling, quality control is crucial. Accurate control of processing parameters, correct selection and use of cutting tools, and strict testing and measurement procedures are all key factors to ensure that the steering knuckle reaches the design accuracy. In order to perform precision milling, a fixture is used to fix the blank on the workbench of the CNC machine tool to ensure stability and accuracy during processing. However, the fixture still has the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0003] When the automobile steering knuckle precision milling fixture is clamped, the steering knuckle needs to be placed on the fixture and then clamped by an additional structure. After clamping, a large area of ​​the steering knuckle is clamped by the fixture, resulting in the need to change the clamping position of some positions during milling, which is not convenient to operate;

[0004] During the operation of the automobile steering knuckle precision milling fixture, the steering knuckle is directly clamped and tightened. During the operation, after milling one surface of the steering knuckle, the steering knuckle needs to be loosened, then turned over, re-clamped, and then milled. It is not convenient to complete the complete milling of the steering knuckle. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Specific embodiment 1

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model is a kind of automobile steering knuckle precision milling fixture, comprising a bottom support plate 1, a fixed frame 2, a fixed sleeve 3 and a lifting electric push rod 4. The bottom support plate 1 is provided with a fixed frame 2 above. When the bottom support plate 1 is working, the fixed frame 2, the fixed sleeve 3 and the lifting electric push rod 4 are supported thereon, and the fixed sleeve 3 is fixed therein through the fixed frame 2. Lifting electric push rods 4 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 2. The limiting plates 402 are driven by the lifting electric push rods 4 to rise to abut against the bottom of the fixed frame 2, and the two limiting plates 402 abut against the two edges of the bottom of the fixed frame 2, so that the fixed frame 2 is restricted in position and kept horizontal. Two fixing sleeves 3 parallel to each other are fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 2, and the fixing sleeves 3 are fixed in the middle of the front and rear of the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. The fixing sleeves 3 are fixed to the horizontal electric push rods 4 through the fixing sleeves 3. A movable push rod 301 is movably connected therein, and a transverse electric push rod 301 is fixed on one side of the fixed sleeve 3 close to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. The inner movable sleeve 302 is driven to move by the transverse electric push rod 301, thereby driving the U-shaped frame 303 to move. An inner movable sleeve 302 is movably connected inside the fixed sleeve 3, and a U-shaped frame 303 is fixed on one end of the inner movable sleeve 302 close to the center of the fixed frame 2. Reinforcing ribs 304 are fixed at the two corners inside the U-shaped frame 303. When the inner movable sleeve 302 is pushed to move, the U-shaped frame 303 is driven to move. A fixed column 305 is vertically fixed on the horizontal part inside the U-shaped frame 303, and an annular groove 306 is fixed on the surrounding side of the fixed column 305. An L-shaped fixed plate 401 is fixed to the telescopic end of the lifting electric push rod 4, and a limiting plate 402 is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped fixed plate 401.

[0026] Specifically, support rods 101 are fixed in the middle of the two long side edges of the top of the bottom support plate 1. The two support rods 101 are symmetrically arranged with a center line parallel to the long sides of the top of the bottom support plate 1. A sleeve hole 102 is opened through the upper inner part of the support rod 101. The bottom support plate 1 provides support for the fixed frame 2 through the support rod 101, and the support rod 101 is movably connected to the rotating shaft 201 through the sleeve hole 102.

[0027] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 201 is fixed in the middle of both end surfaces of the fixed frame 2, and both rotating shafts 201 are inserted into the sleeve holes 102. A rotating frame 202 is fixed to the end of one rotating shaft 201 away from the fixed frame 2. The rotating shaft 201 on the fixed frame 2 is inserted into the sleeve holes 102 on the two support rods 101, so that the fixed frame 2 is supported on the bottom support plate 1 through the support rods 101, and the fixed frame 2 is driven to rotate when the rotating frame 202 rotates.

When the U-shaped frame 303 is pushed to move, the fixed column 305 and the annular groove 306 thereon are driven to move. When the fixed column 305 is working, the reinforcing ribs 304 are used to increase the connection strength between the U-shaped frame 303 and the fixed column 305. When working, the annular groove 306 is embedded with the edge of the steering knuckle that does not need to be processed. Multiple annular grooves 306 are embedded with the edge of the steering knuckle, so that the steering knuckle is confined in the fixed frame 2.

[0030] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when working, first determine the size of the steering knuckle that needs fine milling, put the steering knuckle between all the U-shaped frames 303, and align the edge of the steering knuckle with all the annular grooves 306, start the transverse electric push rod 301, the transverse electric push rod 301 drives the inner movable sleeve 302 to move, and drives the U-shaped frame 303 to move, so that the annular groove 306 on the fixed column 305 is stuck to the edge of the automobile steering knuckle that does not need milling, so that the steering knuckle is clamped during work, and after the steering knuckle is clamped, the milling operation can be carried out.

During operation, when the clamped steering knuckle needs to replace the surface that needs to be milled, the lifting electric push rod 4 is started, and the lifting electric push rod 4 drives the L-shaped fixed plate 401 to descend. When the L-shaped fixed plate 401 descends, the limit plate 402 is driven to descend, so that the fixed frame 2 resumes free rotation. When the fixed frame 2 rotates freely, the rotating frame 202 is rotated to drive the fixed frame 2 to flip, and then the lifting electric push rod 4 is started to drive the L-shaped fixed plate 401 and the limit plate 402 to rise, and rise to abut the bottom of the fixed frame 2 through the limit plate 402, so that during operation, the fixed frame 2 is abutted to the horizontal and is well restricted.
