Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fixing jigs, and particularly relates to a four-axis processing fixing jig for shell-shaped parts. Background Art

[0002] Due to the shape characteristics and end face structure form of the shell-shaped parts, conventional clamping and fixing methods such as flat plates and points cannot achieve effective fixing. Therefore, during the production and processing process, the clamping accuracy is not high, and the clamping stability is poor. Therefore, generally, a single curved surface seat is used to fit the outer shell surface of the shell-shaped part as the clamping and fixing structure form. However, when machining the inner or outer shell surface of the shell-shaped part to be processed, this method cannot be used, and different clamping jigs need to be converted to realize the machining of the inner and outer shell surfaces. The two clamps will lead to a reduction in machining accuracy, and at the same time, the operation process is increased, significantly reducing the production efficiency.

[0052] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a fixed fixture for the four-axis machining of a shell-shaped part 8 includes:

[0055] A base 1 provided with a plurality of mounting bolt holes 11;

[0056] Two columns 2 are provided on the base 1;

[0057] A fixing member, the two ends of which are rotatably provided on the two columns 2; an annular groove 331 for accommodating the end face of the shell-shaped member 8 is provided on the fixing member;

[0058] A bottom support assembly is provided on the base 1, directly below the fixing member, and can be lifted up and down to approach or move away from the fixing member;

[0059] A top suction assembly is provided on the fixing member to adsorb the inner side surface of the shell-shaped member 8 accommodated in the annular groove 331;

[0060] A flipping control assembly is provided on the base 1 to control the flipping and limit of the fixing member.

[0061] The end face of the shell-shaped member 8 is limited. When machining the inner shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped member 8, the bottom support assembly is combined with the fixing member to limit the end face of the shell-shaped member 8 to realize complete limit fixation of the shell-shaped member 8, and it does not affect the machining of the inner shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped member 8. When machining the outer shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped member 8, the top suction assembly adsorbs the inner wall of the shell-shaped member 8, and then the end face of the shell-shaped member 8 is limited by combining with the fixing member to realize complete limit fixation of the shell-shaped member 8, and it does not affect the machining of the outer shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped member 8.

[0062] When machining the inner shell-shaped surface and the outer shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped member 8 respectively, by flipping the fixing member, the orientation of the surface to be machined is controlled, which is convenient for the four-axis machining equipment to machine, reduces the machining difficulty, and improves the machining efficiency. After flipping, the flipping control assembly ensures the stability after flipping and guarantees the machining accuracy.

[0063] In this embodiment, the fixing member includes:

[0064] A tail rod 31, which is sleeved in the column 2 through a rotary bearing inner ring;

[0065] A head rod 32, which is sleeved in the other column 2 through a rotary bearing inner ring; the head rod 32 and the tail rod 31 are coaxial;

[0066] A fixing ring 33 is located between the two columns 2 and is fixedly connected to the tail rod 31 and the head rod 32; an annular groove 331 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing ring 33; the bottom support assembly is provided directly below the fixing ring 33;

[0067] An inner rod is provided in the fixing ring 33, and both ends are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 33; the top suction assembly is provided on the inner rod.

[0068] In this embodiment, a chamfer is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 331 and the upper surface of the fixing ring 33; a buffer coating 332 is coated on the inner wall of the annular groove 331.

[0069] The buffer coating 332 can be made of a relatively thin rubber material with a certain elasticity to avoid damaging the end face of the shell-shaped part 8 and also avoid damaging the annular groove 331.

[0070] In this embodiment, the bottom support assembly includes:

[0071] At least three bottom support cylinders 41, vertically arranged upward on the base 1;

[0072] A bottom support plate 42, horizontally arranged at the upper end of the bottom support cylinder 41;

[0073] A bottom support cushion layer 43, arranged on the upper surface of the bottom support plate 42; the bottom support cushion layer 43 has a certain elastic deformation ability.

[0074] The bottom support cushion layer 43 is made of rubber with a relatively high hardness and a relatively large elastic coefficient, and is not easy to damage the shell-shaped part 8 when supporting and extruding the shell-shaped part 8. At the same time, its deformation ability can make it properly fit the shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8 to ensure the stability of the support.

[0075] In this embodiment, the top suction assembly includes:

[0076] A top suction cylinder 51, arranged on the inner rod, perpendicular to the bottom plate;

[0077] A suction cup 52, arranged on the telescopic end of the top suction cylinder 51, and the suction cup 52 is communicated with a negative pressure device.

[0078] The top suction cylinder 51 can contract, so that the suction cup 52 is separated from the inner shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8, providing a certain machining space for the four-axis machining tool.

[0079] In this embodiment, the top suction assembly further includes a rotary cylinder 53, and the rotary cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the inner rod; the axis of the rotary cylinder 53 is parallel to the axis of the head rod 32; the top suction cylinder 51 is arranged on the rotary end of the rotary cylinder.

[0080] The rotary cylinder 53 can move the top suction cylinder 51 away from the inside of the shell-shaped part 8, providing more machining space for the four-axis machining tool.

[0081] In this embodiment, the inner rod includes a left rod 341 and a right rod 342. The left rod 341 and the right rod 342 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed ring 33, and the left rod 341 and the right rod 342 are collinear with the head rod 32; there is a gap between the left rod 341 and the right rod 342;

[0082] There are two rotary cylinders 53 in the top suction assembly; the two rotary cylinders 53 are relatively arranged on the left rod 341 and the right rod 342 respectively, located in the gap between the left rod 341 and the right rod 342; the rotation axes of the two rotary cylinders 53 are collinear with the axis of the head rod 32;

[0083] The top suction assembly further includes a top suction base 54, and the top suction base 54 is connected to the rotating ends of two rotating cylinders 53; the top suction cylinder 51 is arranged on the top suction base 54.

[0084] By arranging the two rotating cylinders 53 oppositely and controlling the top suction cylinder 51 simultaneously, the adsorption stability of the top suction cylinder 51 on the inner wall of the shell-shaped part 8 can be made more stable. And it can be achieved that the top suction cylinder 51 and the inner rod are coplanar, reducing the occupation of space, lowering the tool path difficulty of the four-axis machining tool, and at the same time ensuring the center of the shell-shaped part 8 in the adsorption area of the suction cup 52, so that the shell-shaped part 8 is more stable in the clamping process.

[0085] In this embodiment, the flipping control assembly includes:

[0086] Four control plates 61, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the head rod 32 and the tail rod 31, and the plate surface of the control plate 61 is parallel to the plane where the bottom of the annular groove 331 of the fixed ring 33 is located;

[0087] Four control cylinders 62, which are arranged on the base 1 and are located directly below the four control plates 61; the end face of the telescopic end of the control cylinder 62 is spherical; an anti-impact coating is coated on the end face of the telescopic end of the control cylinder 62.

[0088] By restricting the rotation of the head rod 32 and the tail rod 31 through the four control plates 61, the anti-impact coating can be an ultra-thin silicone coating.

[0089] In this embodiment, a flipping drive assembly is further included, and the flipping drive assembly includes a handwheel 71, which is arranged at the end of the fixing member and is located outside the column 2.

[0090] The four-axis machining shell-shaped part 8 fixing fixture in this embodiment is used as follows: control all the control cylinders 62 to shorten, use the handwheel 71 to turn the annular groove 331 on the fixed ring 33 upwards, and then control the four control cylinders 62 to extend to make the fixed ring 33 horizontal.

[0091] Buckling the shell-shaped part 8 to be machined into the annular groove 331, then controlling the rotating cylinder 53 to rotate until the top suction cylinder 51 is vertically upward, and then controlling the top suction cylinder 51 to extend so that the suction cup 52 is in close contact with and presses against the inner wall of the shell-shaped part 8, and then evacuating the air inside the suction cup 52 to make the suction cup 52 in a negative pressure state.

[0092] At this time, the clamping and fixing of the shell-shaped part 8 is completed, as Figures 6 - 10 shown, and then control the four-axis machining equipment to machine the outer surface of the shell-shaped part 8.

[0093] After the machining of the outer shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8 is completed, control the control cylinder 62 to shorten, then rotate the handwheel 71 so that the annular groove 331 of the fixing ring 33 faces downward, and control the synchronous rotation of the rotating cylinder 53 during this process. Then control the four control cylinders 62 to extend so that the fixing ring 33 is horizontal, as Figure 4 , 5 shown.

[0094] Subsequently, control the bottom support flagpole to extend so that the bottom support cushion layer 43 squeezes and supports the outer shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8. After the support of the shell-shaped part 8 is completed, inject air into the suction cup 52 so that the inside of the suction cup 52 is no longer in a negative pressure state, then control the top suction cylinder 51 to shorten, and then control the rotating cylinder 53 to rotate so that the top suction cylinder 51 is vertically upward, evacuating the internal space of the shell-shaped part 8. Finally, control the four-axis machining equipment to machine the inner shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8.

[0095] After the machining of the inner shell-shaped surface of the shell-shaped part 8 is completed, control the bottom support cylinder 41 to shorten to remove the machined shell-shaped part 8, or reverse the above steps to reset the shell-shaped part 8 to the Figure 6 positive buckle state shown and then remove it.

[0096] Embodiment 2:

[0097] As Figure 11 shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is only that the flipping drive assembly includes a servo motor 72, which is arranged on the base 1, and the rotating end is connected to the fixing member to control the rotation of the fixing member in the column 2.
