[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 The torque converter housing fixture includes a base 1, a guide step circle 2 is fixed on the lower surface of the base 1, a plurality of arc grooves 7 are arranged in a circular array on the side wall of the base 1, a support seat 3 is fixed at the center of the upper surface of the base 1, a plurality of lifting rings are fixed in a circular array on the periphery of the upper surface of the base 1, a stop pin 5 is fixed on the periphery of the upper surface of the base 1 and on one side of one of the lifting rings, a plurality of pads 4 and a plurality of pressing members 6 are fixed on the upper surface of the base 1, and a workpiece 8 is placed on the surface of the pad 4.

[0019] The installation positions of the cushion block 4 and the pressing member 6 are distributed and fixed according to the shape of the workpiece 8. Figure 1 .

[0020] The number of the installed cushion blocks 4 is the same as the number of the installed pressing members 6 . In this embodiment, four cushion blocks 4 and four pressing members 6 are used.

[0021] The pressing member 6 includes a stud bolt and a pressure rod fixed on the upper surface of the base 1, and the top of the stud bolt and the pressure rod are jointly mounted with a pressure plate, a waist-shaped through hole is opened on the surface of the pressure plate, the stud bolt is mounted inside the waist-shaped through hole, and one end of the stud bolt extending out of the waist-shaped through hole is threadedly installed with a locking nut, a spring is mounted on the surface of the stud bolt, a docking groove is opened on the lower surface of the pressure plate, and the top of the pressure rod is movably docked with the docking groove.

[0022] The contact end between the pressing plate and the workpiece 8 is chamfered.

[0023] When the device is used, first fix the fixture to the workbench. The fixture base 1 is a stepped disc with a guide step circle 2 below, which is convenient for the installation of the fixture base 1. After the fixture is matched with the machine tool workbench through the guide step circle 2, the fixture is fixed with three soft claws (120° distribution) on the vertical lathe. The workpiece 8 is fixed to the fixture: the support seat 3 is an important guide element on the fixture, which is fixed by bolts installed by three bolt holes. There are four pads 4 of two specifications on the fixture for support. During processing, the workpiece 8 is placed on the four pads 4 through the support seat 3. The position of the workpiece 8 is adjusted, and the straight edge of one end of the workpiece 8 is pressed against the stop pin 5. In this way, the freedom of the workpiece 8 in the up and down directions is determined. The direction of rotation is determined by the stop pin 5, and all the freedoms of the workpiece 8 are determined. For easy installation, all the pressure plate heads are processed with a 30° chamfer 22, and the workpiece 8 is supported by four pads 4 below, and there is a pressure plate above the corresponding position to press. At this point, the workpiece 8 is fixed and waiting for processing.

[0024] Since the maximum diameter of the three-jaw chuck of a general vertical lathe is φ810, but the part is large in size, the overall diameter of the fixture (φ830) is large and cannot be installed on the lathe. The fixture can be used on existing vertical lathes by milling three evenly distributed arcs, solving the problem that parts like this cannot be processed on vertical lathes.
