Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing fixtures, in particular to a box horizontal hydraulic fixture. Background Art
[0002] The requirements for outboard motors are very high, such as light weight, high power, long life, etc. This will inevitably put pressure on its main components, such as the gear box (such as Figures 8-9 As shown in the figure, the company has put forward higher requirements. Under the high requirements of lightweight, high-performance aluminum is used first, and its wall thickness must be uniform and small, which makes it strange in shape and not conducive to positioning and clamping in mechanical processing. The small wall thickness leads to easy deformation and even cracking. In order to pursue high power and long life, its dimensional accuracy is constantly raised, which challenges the limits of manufacturers again and again, and is also the biggest problem currently troubling.
[0003] Existing processing fixtures are generally open manual fixtures. Although it is convenient to load and unload products, the support of the small end is always unstable. Due to the strange shape, only point support can be used. If there are too few support points, the support effect is not good. The size is unstable during processing. If there are too many support points, the operation is time-consuming and laborious. There are also hydraulic fixtures that increase the support points. Although the support effect is improved, the overall rigidity of the fixture is insufficient, resulting in large fluctuations in product size. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model mainly solves the technical problems of unstable support in the prior art. For this purpose, a horizontal hydraulic clamp for a special-shaped gear box is designed. Considering the high dimensional accuracy of the special-shaped gear box, a high-precision horizontal machining center is selected to focus on the fine machining of the gear box. A frame-type main structure is adopted, which has sufficient rigidity to set various mechanisms on it. Except for the key inner hole of the large end of the gear box, other positioning surfaces and pin holes have been processed. For this purpose, positioning pins, positioning blocks, support cylinders and other mechanisms are set on the vertical plate of the frame to complete the clamping of the gear box in this clamp. However, its small end is in a suspended state. For this reason, support cylinder seats and support cylinders are set on the clamp bottom plate and horizontal plate of the frame to provide all-round support for the small end. The above clamping scheme completely eliminates the clamping deformation of the gear box product and provides a guarantee for subsequent stable processing. In addition, a through hole is opened at the position of the vertical plate corresponding to the large end of the gear box body to expose the unprocessed inner hole. In this way, through the rotation function of the horizontal machining center worktable, all key dimensions can be clamped and processed at one time, so that the dimensional accuracy of the gear box body reaches a high-precision level. Coupled with the advantages of high efficiency and stability of the hydraulic clamp, this clamp solution is the preferred one, and it can also be applied to most horizontal machining centers, can be widely used, and can fundamentally solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The horizontal machining center hydraulic fixture for a special-shaped gearbox body of the utility model mainly includes functions such as a high-rigidity frame, positioning blocks that can position both the surface and holes, rough limit and clamping protection, all-round support, elastic push wheels, and high-life hydraulic components. It is used on a high-precision horizontal machining center, with high efficiency and stability, and is a very preferred solution.
[0006] This fixture is realized as follows: The high-rigidity frame, which is the main body of this fixture, is mainly composed of a fixture base plate, vertical plates, rib plates, and cross plates. All are made of thick steel plates and are connected to each other by large-sized hexagon socket head cap screws and cylindrical pins, having sufficient rigidity, especially providing guarantee for the support of the small end of the gearbox body.
[0007] There are a total of four positioning blocks that can position both the surface and holes. Their top planes form a large plane for surface positioning with the bottom surface of the large end of the gearbox body. Among them, a cylindrical pin is set on the top surface of the upper right positioning block, and a diamond pin is set on the top surface of the lower left positioning block. These two pins are used for hole positioning with the positioning holes of the large end. Through the integration of components, the fixture is both streamlined and functional.
[0008] For rough limit and clamping protection, this fixture is provided with three rough limit blocks and two rough limit posts, all made of high-hardness and high-wear-resistant plastic materials. Even if there is a collision with the gearbox body product during the process of loading and unloading the product, it will not cause any damage to the product, effectively protecting the product. In addition, the rough limit posts adopt an eccentric design. By rotating the rough limit posts, the rough limit space can be adjusted. Especially when there are reasonable fluctuations in the blank surfaces of products in different batches, this fixture can easily adjust to ensure a reasonable rough limit space, having a certain flexibility. The material of the pressing nail is also selected as the same plastic, which can not only ensure sufficient clamping force but also protect the product. In addition, a single-acting rotary clamping cylinder is selected, which not only plays a clamping role but also simplifies the hydraulic oil circuit, is easy to process the fixture parts, and is more conducive to subsequent maintenance and repair.
[0009] For all-round support, fixed seats, support cylinder seats, and support cylinders are set on the base plate of the frame, and support cylinder seats and support cylinders are set on the cross plate. A total of nine support cylinders are set here to provide all-round support for the small end of the gearbox body product, completely eliminating the risk of tremor during the machining process of the small end, and thus ensuring high precision of the product dimensions. When the gearbox body product is placed in the fixture and completed positioning and clamping, all the support cylinders will support the product. At this time, a closed loop is formed between the fixture and the product, and there is no suspended part, which improves the overall rigidity and is conducive to subsequent stable machining.
[0010] The elastic pushing wheel will come into contact with the pushing wheel first when the gearbox body product is loaded into the fixture. As the product continues to move, it will push against the pushing wheel and cause it to retract. After the product is completely loaded into the fixture, the pushing wheel will extend under the action of the spring force and get stuck on the rounded surface inside the large-end flange of the product to pre-clamp the product, making preparations for subsequent clamping.

[0045] Working principle of the utility model: First, the hydraulic clamp is hoisted onto the workbench 1 of the high-precision horizontal machining center, and the clamp bottom plate 2 is positioned and clamped with the workbench 1. Then, the large end of the gear box product is facing the vertical plate 3, and it is placed in the clamp horizontally with both hands. Be careful not to collide with the parts on the clamp during the placement process. When the product is roughly within the range of the coarse limit block 4 and the coarse limit column 5, the product is moved toward the vertical plate 3. It will first contact with the push wheel 6. Continue to move the product, and the push wheel 6 retracts. Then the positioning hole 7 of the product contacts and positions the cylindrical pin 8 and the diamond pin 9. Finally, the large positioning surface 10 of the large end contacts and the top surface of the positioning block 11 to complete the surface positioning. At this time, the push wheel 6 will extend out under the action of its internal spring elastic force, and get stuck on the fillet surface 12 on the inner side of the flange of the large end of the product to pre-clamp the product.
[0046] Next, insert the outlet pipe of the hydraulic station into the quick-change joint 14 of the oil circuit block 13, turn on the switch valve 15 on the fixture, and press the pressure switch of the hydraulic station to start pressurizing. First, the four single-acting rotary clamping cylinders 16 start to act, rotate and lower the pressure plate to clamp the gearbox body product. Subsequently, under the action of the sequence valve 17, the nine support cylinders 18 start to act, push the blank surface at the small end of the ejector rod and hold the ejector rod tightly to complete the all-round support of the small end.
[0047] Finally, confirm whether each positioning part and clamping part are correct and reliable. After passing the inspection, turn off the pressure switch of the hydraulic station and the switch valve 15 on the fixture, and then pull out the oil pipe of the hydraulic station. At this time, the accumulator 19 located on the bottom plate 2 starts to function to balance the oil pressure in the fixture and keep it within the set range all the time. Thus, the clamping of the gearbox body product is completed, and the gearbox body product can be debugged and processed.
[0048] When the machining of the gearbox body product is completed, first blow off the residues such as chips and cutting fluid on the fixture, then insert the return pipe of the hydraulic station into the quick-change joint 14 of the oil circuit block 13, turn on the switch valve 15 on the fixture, and start depressurizing. The pressure plates on all the single-acting rotary clamping cylinders 16 retract to the initial position, and the ejector rods of all the support cylinders 18 also retract to the initial position under the action of the spring force inside them. Turn off the switch valve 15 on the fixture, pull out the oil pipe of the hydraulic station, and finally move the gearbox body product in the direction away from the vertical plate 3, and slowly take it out outward after passing over the pressure plate of the single-acting rotary clamping cylinder 16.
