[0002] Castings are the base for installing the main reducer, differential, half-axle and wheel assembly. Its main function is to support and protect the main reducer, differential and half-axle. Generally speaking, the ordinary non-disconnecting drive axle casting is a rigid hollow beam supported on the left and right drive wheels. The main reducer, differential, half-axle and other transmission parts are installed in it. The casting is connected to the frame or car body through the longitudinal leaf spring. It is an important part of the drive axle and one of the main components of the running system.

[0003] In the production process of castings, the outer shell is formed by casting. When the molding process is laid out, multiple risers are provided on the periphery of the casting. The riser is a cavity set in the mold to store the shrinkage-feeding molten metal. The main function is to prevent shrinkage and shrinkage defects in the casting. It also has the functions of adjusting the temperature field of the casting, overflowing the cold molten metal, removing gas and collecting slag. After molding, the riser needs to be cut off. In the prior art, industrial robots are generally used to cut the risers. After the casting is fixed as a whole by a hydraulic automatic clamping tool, it is sent into the industrial robot for riser cutting. Since there are many types of castings, and each casting corresponds to a tool, the manufacturing cost of using the corresponding hydraulic automatic clamping tool is high. At the same time, the cut riser residue cannot be taken out and will stay in the robot, especially the large pouring system that cannot be cut off. If too much accumulation occurs, it will affect the normal operation of the robot. Therefore, the applicant proposed a casting flash cleaning tool. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides a casting flash cleaning tool, and the casting in this embodiment is a bridge shell product.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, a casting flash cleaning tool comprises:

[0032] A bottom plate 1, on which a surrounding plate 2 is disposed, and the surrounding plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 form a collecting tank 101;

[0033] A first fixing mechanism is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the first fixing mechanism comprises a first supporting plate 4 and a first pressing member 6, the first pressing member 6 is detachably connected to the first supporting plate 4, and the first pressing member 6 is used to fix one end of the casting;

[0034] The second fixing mechanism is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and comprises a second supporting plate 14 and a second pressing member 17. The second pressing member 17 is detachably connected to the second supporting plate 14, and is used to fix the other end of the casting.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two ends of the casting are fixed manually, which is convenient and has an excellent fixing effect. When fixing, it is only necessary to manually fix the casting on the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 14 by using the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 17. Compared with the hydraulic tooling, the design cycle for various types of castings is shorter, the manufacturing cost is lower, the stock of tooling is larger, and it can meet the mass production of enterprises.

[0036] At the same time, in this embodiment, by setting the enclosure 2, after the tooling fixes the casting and sends it into the industrial robot, the riser cut off by the robot will fall into the collecting trough 101 formed by the enclosure 2 and the base plate 1. When the tooling is sent out, the riser is sent out along with the tooling, thereby effectively avoiding the riser residue from being retained inside the robot and ensuring the normal operation of the robot.

[0037] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, during the process of fixing the casting, it is necessary to ensure that the entire projection of the casting is on the base plate 1, that is, the entire vertical position of the casting is located in the collection tank 101, ensuring that the riser of the casting can directly fall into the collection tank 101 after being cut off for collection, so as to facilitate the removal of the riser residue from the industrial robot.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, a first fixing block 5 is provided on the first support plate 4, and the first fixing mechanism also includes a first screw 7, which can pass through the first support plate 4 and the first clamping block and be threadedly connected to the first fixing block 5, and a first gasket is provided on the first screw 7, wherein when the first screw 7 is tightened with the first fixing block 5, the first gasket abuts against the first clamping member 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting up the first fixing block 5, the position of the first screw 7 in the vertical direction can be adjusted so that the first screw 7 can be moved downward as a whole, and the first clamping member 6 is pressed against the first support plate 4 through the first gasket. After the first clamping member 6 is fixed, the casting can be fixed.

[0040] Illustratively, in this embodiment, an avoidance groove is provided on the first clamping block, and the avoidance groove allows the first screw 7 to pass through the first clamping block, and the first gasket in this embodiment is mounted on the first screw 7 in a fixed connection or threaded connection manner. When the first screw 7 continues to move downward and can no longer move, it proves that the first clamping block has fixed one end of the casting.

[0041] Exemplarily, the first support plate 4 is detachably connected to the first support member 8, and the first pressing member 6 is provided with a first pressing portion, which enters the casting to press one end of the casting onto the first support member 8. Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamping member 6 is overall "L"-shaped, and the first clamping portion is the short side portion of the first clamping member 6, which enters the inner wall of the casting during installation. After the first clamping member 6 is fixed, the first clamping portion abuts against the inner wall of the casting.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, a second fixing block 15 is provided on the second support plate 14, and the second fixing mechanism also includes a second screw 16, which can pass through the second support plate 14 and the second clamping block and be threadedly connected to the second fixing block 15, and a second gasket is provided on the second screw 16, wherein when the second screw 16 is tightened with the second fixing block 15, the second gasket abuts against the second clamping member 17.

[0043] By setting the second fixing block 15, the vertical position of the second screw rod 16 can be adjusted so that the second screw rod 16 can move downward as a whole, and the second clamping member 17 is pressed against the second support plate 14 through the second gasket. After being fixed, the second clamping member 17 can fix the casting.

[0044] For example, in this embodiment, the second clamping block is provided with an escape groove, and the escape groove is provided so that the second screw 16 can pass through the second clamping block, and the second gasket in this embodiment is sleeved on the second screw 16 in a fixed connection or threaded connection manner. When the second screw 16 continues to move downward and cannot move any further, it proves that the second clamping block has fixed the other end of the casting. Its installation method is the same as that of the first screw 7.

[0045] For example, the second support plate 14 is detachably connected to a second support member 18, and the second pressing member 17 is provided with a second pressing portion, which enters the casting to press the large port of the casting onto the second support member 18. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the second clamping member 17 is also "L"-shaped as a whole, and the second clamping portion is the short side of the second clamping member 17, which enters the inner wall of the casting during installation. After the second clamping member 17 is fixed, the second clamping portion abuts against the inner wall of the casting.

[0046] Exemplarily, a support frame is provided on the bottom plate 1, and the second support plate 14 is mounted on the support frame. In this embodiment, the second support plate 14 needs to fix the large end of the casting, so a support frame is provided on the bottom of the second support plate 14 to prevent the bottom plate 1 from being damaged by locally bearing large stress.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the clamping parts of the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 17 need to be set according to the specific type of casting. When the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 17 are fixed, it is ensured that the first clamping part and the second clamping part respectively abut against the inner walls at both ends of the casting, so that the casting is firmly abutted against the first support member 8 and the second support member 18, so as to achieve stable positioning and fixation of the casting.

[0048] It is also necessary to explain, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 14 are both "Z"-shaped as a whole, which is convenient for installing the clamping parts and the supporting parts. At the same time, the clamping parts and the supporting parts in this application adopt a detachable installation method because they need to frequently contact the castings. Specifically, threaded connections can be used for easy replacement and installation.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, a support column 19 for supporting the casting is provided on the base plate 1, and an auxiliary pressing piece 20 is rotatably connected to the support column 19, and a fixing screw 21 is threadedly connected to the auxiliary pressing piece 20. The fixing screw 21 can pass through the auxiliary pressing piece 20 to make the casting rest against the support column 19.

[0050] In this embodiment, the support column 19 is mainly used to assist in supporting the casting. Since the casting is generally large, the fixing effect of the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism alone may cause insufficient supporting force. Therefore, the support column 19 is provided to support the casting through the top of the support column 19. In this embodiment, the support column 19 is mainly used to support the large mouth section of the casting. The setting position can be adjusted according to the type of casting. It is fixed to the base plate 1 by screws.

[0051] For example, the auxiliary pressing member 20 in this embodiment is mounted on the supporting column 19 by bolts, and can be rotated. After the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism fix the two ends of the casting, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary pressing piece 20 is rotated, and the fixing screw 21 on the auxiliary pressing piece 20 is rotated so that the fixing screw 21 passes through the auxiliary pressing piece 20 and abuts against the casting to achieve further fixation.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, a mounting seat 9 is provided on the bottom plate 1 , a positioning block 10 is provided on the mounting seat 9 , and a positioning groove 1001 capable of being engaged with the casting is provided on the positioning block 10 .

[0053] In this embodiment, since the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism provided in the present application have fixed the two ends of the casting, the middle section of the casting can be positioned and supported by the provided positioning block 10. At the same time, the positioning block 10 in this embodiment is installed on the mounting seat 9 in a detachable connection manner to facilitate replacement.

[0054] Illustratively, the positioning groove 1001 in this embodiment is based on the characteristics of the casting itself, and is engaged with the protruding part of the casting itself to limit and support the casting, so as to improve the stability of the casting.

[0055] It is worth noting that the mounting seat 9 in this embodiment is fixed by bolts, and its position on the base plate 1 can be changed. Similarly, for different types of castings, the number of mounting seats 9 can be increased to achieve the function of enhancing the supporting force.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of limit assemblies are provided on the base plate 1, and the limit assemblies include a limit seat 11, a limit block 13 and a contact block 12, wherein the limit block 13 and the contact block 12 are both arranged on the limit seat 11, wherein the limit block 13 is used for limiting the casting, and the contact block 12 is in contact with the casting.

[0057] In this embodiment, by setting up a limit assembly, the function of improving the positioning of the casting during the installation process is achieved, and the supporting force of the casting can also be improved. In this embodiment, the contact block 12 is a wear-resistant part, which is fixed to the limit seat 11 by bolts to facilitate its replacement.

[0058] It is worth noting that the limit seat 11 in this embodiment is installed on the base plate 1 by bolts, and different numbers of limit assemblies can be set according to different types of castings to enhance the supporting force and limit effect on the castings.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of dustproof guard plates 3 are provided on the bottom plate 1. In this embodiment, the guard plates 3 are mainly distributed on both sides of the tooling along the track direction. Since the entire tooling needs to enter the interior of the industrial robot through the track, the guard plates 3 can play a role in preventing track dust.

[0060] In summary, the utility model can quickly position and fix the casting manually by setting up the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism, and each component for supporting and positioning the casting in the present application can change its position according to the type of casting. Each positioning component is easy to install, and the design cost and manufacturing cost are lower. The collection groove 101 formed by the base plate and the enclosure plate is also used to collect the riser residue to ensure the normal operation of the robot.

[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
