Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Embodiment 1
[0023] As shown in the attached Figures 1 to 3 drawings, a milling fixture for an automobile rear axle housing includes a support platform 1, load-bearing piles 5, and a flipping assembly 11. Bases 4 are arranged on both sides of the support platform 1. The load-bearing piles 5 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the upper end surfaces of the two groups of bases 4. Moving slides 10 are respectively arranged on one sides of the two groups of load-bearing piles 5. The flipping assemblies 11 are respectively arranged on the upper end surfaces of the two groups of moving slides 10;
[0024] The flipping assembly 11 includes a connecting plate 1101. The connecting plate 1101 is arranged on the outer side of the load-bearing pile 5. A second motor 1102 is arranged on the left side of the connecting plate 1101. A transmission shaft 1103 is arranged on the right side of the connecting plate 1101. The output end of the second motor 1102 penetrates through the connecting plate 1101 and is connected to the transmission shaft 1103. A clamping disc 1104 is arranged on the right end surface of the transmission shaft 1103.
[0025] Wherein: Two groups of load-bearing piles 5 respectively support both ends of the rear axle housing 7. Both groups of flipping assemblies 11 drive the transmission shaft 1103 to rotate through the output end of the second motor 1102 passing through the connecting plate 1101, thereby driving the clamping disc 1104 to rotate. Then, when the moving slide 10 moves horizontally on the outer surface of the screw rod 9, the two clamping discs 1104 approach both ends of the rear axle housing 7 and abut against them. Subsequently, the clamping disc 1104 rotates, so that the rear axle housing 7 is flipped to the other side for processing, enabling both surfaces of the workpiece to be processed. Embodiment 2
[0026] Based on Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 will be further refined and introduced in combination with the following specific working modes, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, and the details are described below:
[0027] As a preferred implementation manner, fixing plates 8 are provided on the outer sides of the upper end surfaces of the two groups of bases 4. First motors 51 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two groups of fixing plates 8. A screw rod 9 is provided between the load-bearing pile 5 and the fixing plate 8. Both ends of the screw rod 9 are respectively abutted against the load-bearing pile 5 and the fixing plate 8. The output end of the first motor 51 penetrates the fixing plate 8 and is connected to the screw rod 9; further, the load-bearing pile 5 and the fixing plate 8 are connected by the screw rod 9, and then the first motor 51 is connected to the screw rod 9 at one end of the load-bearing pile 5, thereby driving the screw rod 9 to rotate.
[0028] As a preferred implementation manner, the outer surface of the screw rod 9 meshes with the inner surface of the moving slide 10; further, when the screw rod 9 rotates, due to the meshing of the moving slide 10, but the moving slide 10 is on the upper end surface of the base 4, when the screw rod 9 rotates, the moving slide 10 will move horizontally along with the rotation of the thread and will not rotate together with the screw rod 9.
[0029] As a preferred implementation manner, an electric telescopic column 2 is provided on the upper end surface of the support platform 1. Limit blocks 3 are provided on both sides of the upper end surface of the electric telescopic column 2. The rear axle housing 7 is provided on the upper end surface of the limit block 3; further, the electric telescopic column 2 adjusts its own telescopic length, thereby adjusting the height of the limit block 3. The limit block 3 is adjusted in height by the electric telescopic column 2 and is inserted into the center of the rear axle housing 7 for limiting, so as to avoid instability after the adjustment jig is flipped.
[0030] As a preferred implementation manner, an installation groove 6 is provided on the upper end surface of the load-bearing pile 5. The outer surfaces at both ends of the rear axle housing 7 are respectively abutted against the installation groove 6; further, the two groups of load-bearing piles 5 support and limit both ends of the rear axle housing 7 through the installation groove 6, restricting the movement range of the rear axle housing 7, and enabling it to rotate along with the flipping assembly 11 on the inner surface of the installation groove 6.
[0031] The working process of the present utility model is as follows: First, the rear axle housing 7 is placed in the load-bearing piles 5 above the two groups of bases 4. The load-bearing piles 5 limit the movement range of both ends of the rear axle housing 7 through the installation grooves 6. Subsequently, the first motor 51 drives the screw rod 9 between the load-bearing pile 5 and the fixing plate 8 to rotate. Since the base of the moving slide 10 contacts the base 4, when the screw rod 9 rotates, through the meshing effect, it will drive the moving slide 10 to move horizontally. Both groups of moving slides 10 drive the clamping disks 1104 of the flipping assembly 11 above to align with both ends of the rear axle housing 7 for abutting. The output end of the second motor 1102 passes through the connecting plate 1101 and then drives the transmission shaft 1103 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping disks 1104 abutting against both ends of the rear axle housing 7 to rotate, so that the rear axle housing 7 is flipped to the other side. After the flipping is completed, the electric telescopic column 2 above the support platform 1 starts to work. By controlling the operation of the motor, the telescopic length of itself is adjusted, thereby driving the limit block 3 to adjust the height. The limit block 3 is inserted into the inner cavity at the center of the rear axle housing 7 for limiting. After adjusting to the required height, it is locked at the fixed height through the internal locking system to avoid instability. The above is the working principle of the milling fixture for an automotive rear axle housing.
[0032] Finally: The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
