Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camshaft processing, in particular to a milling fixture for camshaft keyways. Background Technique
[0002] A camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing of the valves. Although the rotational speed of the camshaft is half of that of the crankshaft in a four-stroke engine (the rotational speed of the camshaft is the same as that of the crankshaft in a two-stroke engine), generally its rotational speed is still very high and it needs to bear a large torque. Therefore, in the design, the requirements for the camshaft in terms of strength and support are very high, and its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. Since the valve motion law is related to the power and operating characteristics of an engine, the grinding process of the camshaft is a very important processing operation.
[0003] During the clamping process of the camshaft during cutting processing, a three-jaw chuck is used for clamping, resulting in inconvenient and unstable clamping and positioning of the camshaft. The workpiece may be damaged during the clamping process, and manual alignment is required before clamping. Such an operation not only has the problem of low efficiency but also has a large potential safety hazard in operation. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a milling fixture for camshaft keyways, which can realize automatic clamping and fixing of the camshaft. When clamping and fixing, the keyway and eccentric wheel of the camshaft are fixed separately, effectively ensuring the machining accuracy of the workpiece.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0006] Camshaft keyway milling fixture, characterized in that: it includes a fixed frame, a fixed V-shaped frame and a movable V-shaped frame. The fixed V-shaped frame is fixed on the upper end surface of the fixed frame. A lifting column is installed at the bottom of the movable V-shaped frame. The movable V-shaped frame is movably installed on the upper end surface of the fixed frame through the lifting column. Positioning grooves are respectively provided on the fixed V-shaped frame and the movable V-shaped frame. When the camshaft is placed in the positioning groove on the fixed V-shaped frame, the eccentric cam on the camshaft is located in the positioning groove on the movable V-shaped frame. It also includes a movable jaw, a driving cylinder and a driving shaft. An output shaft is installed on the driving cylinder, and the driving shaft is installed on the output shaft. The movable jaw includes a first jaw and a second jaw. First long strip-shaped through holes and second long strip-shaped through holes are respectively inclined on the first jaw and the second jaw. The first jaw and the second jaw are respectively hinged on the fixed V-shaped frame and are located on both sides of the positioning groove thereon. The driving shaft is arranged through the first long strip-shaped through hole and the second long strip-shaped through hole. When the output shaft moves up and down, the driving shaft moves up and down accordingly, and drives the first jaw and the second jaw to move away from or close to each other through the first long strip-shaped through hole and the second long strip-shaped through hole. The lifting column and the driving shaft are on the same vertical line. When the driving shaft moves upward, the driving shaft jacks up the lifting column upward, and the movable V-shaped frame rises accordingly. It also includes a fixed plate and an axial positioning pin. The fixed plate is vertically fixed on one side of the fixed frame, and the axial positioning pin is fixed on the fixed plate. The axial positioning pin and the positioning groove are on the same horizontal line. When the camshaft is placed in the positioning groove, the keyway at the end of the camshaft is inserted on the axial positioning pin.
[0007] In the above structure: The camshaft keyway milling fixture proposed in this application includes a fixed frame, a fixed V-shaped frame, and a movable V-shaped frame. The fixed frame is used to install and fix the fixed V-shaped frame and the movable V-shaped frame. Positioning grooves are respectively provided on the fixed V-shaped frame and the movable V-shaped frame. Among them, the fixed V-shaped frame is used to place the camshaft, and the movable V-shaped frame is used to place the eccentric wheel. An active jaw, a driving cylinder, and a driving shaft are also provided. The driving shaft is installed on the output shaft, and the up and down movement of the driving shaft is realized through the driving cylinder and the output shaft. A first long strip-shaped through hole and a second long strip-shaped through hole are respectively inclined on the first jaw and the second jaw. The first jaw and the second jaw are respectively hinged on the fixed V-shaped frame and are located on both sides of the positioning groove thereon. The driving shaft passes through the first long strip-shaped through hole and the second long strip-shaped through hole. By driving the up and down movement of the output shaft by the driving cylinder, when the output shaft moves up and down, the driving shaft will also move up and down accordingly. Through the first long strip-shaped through hole and the second long strip-shaped through hole, the first jaw and the second jaw are driven to move away from or close to each other, so as to realize the clamping and fixing of the camshaft in the positioning groove. Among them, the lifting column and the driving shaft are on the same vertical line. When the driving shaft moves upward, the driving shaft jacks up the lifting column. At this time, the movable V-shaped frame rises accordingly, realizing the fixed tightening of the eccentric wheel. A fixed plate and an axial positioning pin are also provided. The fixed plate is vertically fixed on one side of the fixed frame, and the axial positioning pin is fixed on the fixed plate. When the camshaft is placed in the positioning groove, the keyway at the end of the camshaft is inserted on the axial positioning pin.
[0008] Principle of use of this application:
[0009] The driving cylinder is in the retracted state. At this time, the first jaw and the second jaw are in the open state. The camshaft is placed on the fixed V-shaped frame. At this time, the eccentric cylindrical surface on the camshaft faces downward, so that the positioning groove on the movable V-shaped block is aligned with the eccentric cylindrical surface for angular positioning, that is, angular positioning of the eccentric wheel. At this time, the axial direction of the camshaft is positioned by the axial positioning pin. The axial direction of the camshaft is connected to the axial positioning pin to ensure the accurate axial position of the keyway. After starting the driving cylinder, the output shaft is driven to move upward by the driving cylinder, and the output shaft drives the driving shaft to move upward together. The driving shaft drives the first jaw and the second jaw to approach each other to clamp the camshaft in the positioning groove on the fixed V-shaped frame. When the driving shaft rises, it jacks up the lifting column, and the rising of the lifting column causes the movable V-shaped frame to rise accordingly to tightly hold the eccentric wheel in its positioning groove. By driving the output shaft to descend by the driving cylinder, the first jaw and the second jaw move away from each other to loosen the camshaft in the positioning groove on the fixed V-shaped frame. At this time, the lifting column will also descend, loosening the eccentric wheel in the positioning groove on the movable V-shaped frame, and loosening the axial positioning pin, and then the camshaft can be removed.
[0010] Further: It further includes a fixture base body, on the upper end surface of which the fixing frame and the driving cylinder are respectively fixed. The fixing frame is of a convex structure, and the driving cylinder is located below the fixing frame.

There is one movable V-shaped frame, and the movable V-shaped frame is located between the first fixed V-shaped frame and the second fixed V-shaped frame and is close to the second fixed V-shaped frame.
[0017] In the above structure: There are two fixed V-shaped frames, namely the first fixed V-shaped frame and the second fixed V-shaped frame, which make the fixation of the camshaft more firm. The movable V-shaped frame is located between the first fixed V-shaped frame and the second fixed V-shaped frame and is close to the second fixed V-shaped frame, facilitating the fixation of the eccentric wheel on the camshaft.
[0018] Further: The positioning grooves are respectively opened at the central positions on the first fixed V-shaped frame, the second fixed V-shaped frame, and the movable V-shaped frame.
