DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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. Example
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a milling fixture for a planetary bracket window of an automobile component is used to clamp and limit a workpiece 8. The fixture includes a base plate 1, on which a center positioning mechanism 2 and an angular positioning mechanism 4 are coaxially mounted. The angular positioning mechanism 4 is located above the center positioning mechanism 2, and the workpiece 8 is sleeved on the outside of the angular positioning mechanism 4.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the workpiece 8 processed by this scheme has a through hole penetrating upward and downward formed in the middle, and three windows 81 connected to the through hole are opened on the surface of the workpiece 8. The window 81 extends radially toward the axis of the workpiece 8 to form a petal end 82. Since the outer diameter of the workpiece 8 is different from top to bottom, a step groove 83 is formed at the intersection of the change of large and small diameters of the workpiece 8.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the center positioning mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21 installed above the base plate 1, and the cylinder 21 is connected to three output shafts 22 that are circumferentially evenly spaced about its axis. The top of the output shaft 22 is connected to a clamping block 24, and the output shaft 22 is in an inclined state relative to the horizontally arranged cylinder 21 and the base plate 1. The inclined direction of the output shaft 22 intersects with the axial direction of the cylinder 21, and the top end of the output shaft 22 is relatively far away from the axis of the cylinder 21, and the bottom end of the output shaft 22 is relatively close to the axis of the cylinder 21. This design enables the three clamping blocks 24 to gradually move toward the axis center of the cylinder 21 when the output shaft 22 moves from top to bottom. Since the workpiece 8 is also located on the axis center of the cylinder 21, the three clamping blocks 24 can simultaneously clamp and limit the workpiece 8 from different directions.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a guide portion 23 is provided above the oil cylinder 21 , and a guide groove is formed on the guide portion 23 corresponding to the motion trajectory of the output shaft 22 , and the guide groove is used to guide and support the contraction of the output shaft 22 .
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a clamping plate 25 is provided at the position where the clamping block 24 contacts the surface of the workpiece 8. The surface of the clamping plate 25 in contact with the workpiece 8 is an arc surface, and the clamping plate 25 is made of elastic material, so that the limit is more stable after the clamping plate 25 contacts the workpiece 8.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a support plate 3 is coaxially mounted on the lower end of the angular positioning mechanism 4, and a fixed foot for supporting and limiting the position of the workpiece 8 is formed on the top surface of the support plate 3, and the fixed foot protrudes upward to support and position the workpiece 8, and the angular positioning mechanism 4 includes a fixed rod 41 and a second cylinder 42 installed on the top of the support plate 3, and the upper end of the fixed rod 41 is rotatably connected to a rotating member 45 through an axle pin 44, and a limiting plate 46 is connected above the rotating member 45, and the second cylinder 42 is located below the rotating trajectory of the rotating member 45, and the second cylinder 42 is upwardly connected to an output shaft 43, and after the output shaft 43 is extended, it abuts against the rotating member 45 and drives the rotating member 45 to rotate about the axle pin 44.
[0033] In this solution, the angular positioning mechanism 4 also includes a shell 47, which is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 41 and the cylinder 42, and the outline of the shell 47 is smaller than the hole of the workpiece 8, so that the workpiece 8 can be sleeved on the outside of the shell 47.
[0034] When the present clamp is clamping the workpiece 8, since the output shaft 2 43 is not in contact with the rotating member 45, the rotating member 45 is in an inclined state and the limit plate 46 is also in an inclined state. At this time, the workpiece 8 is mounted on the support plate 3 from top to bottom. At this time, the angular positioning mechanism 4 is located inside the workpiece 8 and begins to limit the workpiece 8. The oil cylinder 2 42 is started, the output shaft 2 43 is lifted and in contact with the rotating member 45, driving the rotating member 45 and the limit plate 46 to rotate about the axle pin 44 until the limit plate 46 is in contact with the petal end 82, angularly positioning the workpiece 8 to ensure the accurate angular position of the workpiece 8 during the machining process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the machining. Subsequently, the oil cylinder 1 21 is started, and the three output shafts 1 22 move from top to bottom, and the three clamping blocks 24 gradually move toward the axis center of the oil cylinder 1 21 until the three clamping plates 25 are in contact with the outer wall of the workpiece 8, determining the center of the workpiece 8, and preventing the workpiece 8 from shaking during the machining process.
[0035] This solution changes the horizontal clamping into vertical clamping, and uses the angular positioning mechanism 4 to angularly position the workpiece 8 to determine the circumferential position of the window 81, and then uses the center positioning mechanism 2 to clamp the outer diameter of the workpiece 8 to obtain the product center, thereby improving the fixing quality of the workpiece 8 and facilitating the smooth progress of the milling process. The reasonable structural setting improves the processing accuracy and efficiency, and completely avoids the risk of pinching the hand when clamping the workpiece 8. Example
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, a milling fixture for a planetary bracket window of an automobile component is used to clamp and limit a workpiece 8, including a base plate 1, on which a center positioning mechanism 2 and an angular positioning mechanism 4 are coaxially mounted, the workpiece 8 is sleeved outside the angular positioning mechanism 4, the angular positioning mechanism 4 includes a limit plate 46 movably engaged with the inner cavity of the workpiece 8, the center positioning mechanism 2 includes a plurality of clamping blocks 24 movably arranged outside the workpiece 8 at circumferential intervals, and the clamping blocks 24 can move toward the axis of the workpiece 8 along an inclined direction. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference of this embodiment is that: Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, a vertical positioning mechanism 6 is also provided outside the center positioning mechanism 2. The vertical positioning mechanism 6 includes three cylinders 61 circumferentially spaced apart and arranged outside the workpiece 8. An output shaft 62 and a fixed block 63 are connected above the cylinder 61. The top of the output shaft 62 is rotatably connected to one end of a rotating rod 64. The fixed block 63 and the middle part of the rotating rod 64 are movably connected by a connecting rod 65. After the rotating rod 64 rotates a certain angle, the tail end of the rotating rod 64 abuts against the step groove 83 to limit the position.
[0037] After the angular positioning mechanism 4 and the center positioning mechanism 2 limit the workpiece 8, the cylinder three 61 is started, and the output shaft three 62 is lifted upward. Under the limitation of the output shaft three 62 and the connecting rod 65, the tail end of the rotating rod 64 moves from top to bottom toward the workpiece 8 until the step groove 83 at the tail end of the rotating rod 64 abuts, applying pressure to the workpiece 8 from top to bottom to prevent the workpiece 8 from moving up and down during processing, thereby effectively ensuring the height consistency of the three windows 81 of the workpiece 8.
[0038] The present solution also includes a sequence valve 5, which is used to control the action sequence between the multiple output shafts three 62, so that the clamping is more stable and reliable. The present solution also includes a pressure gauge 7, which is used to measure the pressure of the oil cylinder three 61 to ensure that the oil pressure is within a safe applicable range.
