Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of long-stroke auxiliary support devices for hydraulic fixtures, and specifically relates to a long-stroke auxiliary support device for hydraulic fixtures. Background Technique

[0002] In machining, in addition to machine tools, cutting tools, and measuring tools, machine tool fixtures are also required during batch production. They are the connecting devices between the machine tool and the workpiece, enabling the workpiece to obtain the correct position relative to the machine tool. The quality of the machine tool fixture will directly affect the position accuracy of the machined surface of the workpiece. Usually, the process of determining the correct position of the workpiece on the machine tool or in the fixture is called positioning. After the workpiece is positioned, in order to prevent it from being damaged due to the action of cutting force, gravity, etc. during machining, a certain mechanism or device should be used to fix the workpiece. The operation of keeping the workpiece in the positioned position during machining is called clamping. The process of positioning and clamping the workpiece is called fixturing. Whether the workpiece is fixtured correctly, quickly, conveniently, and reliably will directly affect the machining quality, production efficiency, manufacturing cost, and operation safety of the workpiece. Machine tool fixtures are widely used in production. The functions of machine tool fixtures can be summarized as follows: ensuring machining accuracy, improving production efficiency, and reducing labor intensity. The basic requirements that machine tool fixtures should meet include the following aspects: ensuring machining accuracy, the overall scheme of the fixture should be adapted to the annual production program, being safe, convenient, reducing labor intensity, having smooth chip removal, and the fixture should have good strength, stiffness, and structural manufacturability. However, when facing special-shaped products, traditional clamping components will hinder the support and handling of the workpiece.

[0003] Such problems have been found in the machining of steering gear housings. The workpiece is taken and placed horizontally to achieve workpiece switching. If traditional support rods are assembled on the fixture, when on-site personnel take and place the workpiece, the traditional support rods will interfere with the steering end bowl mouth, and it is inevitable that product bumps and scratches will occur on-site. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects mentioned in the background technique and provide a long-stroke auxiliary support device for hydraulic fixtures.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: A long-stroke auxiliary support device for hydraulic fixtures, including an outer cylinder body, a primary support cylinder, and a secondary support cylinder. The outer cylinder body is fixed on a fixed seat, and the fixed seat is fixed on the fixture. The primary support cylinder is installed inside the outer cylinder body, and the secondary support cylinder is installed inside the primary support cylinder. A push rod is installed at the upper end of the secondary support cylinder, and the front end of the secondary support cylinder jacks up the workpiece to the workpiece support surface position. A sealing cover is installed at the upper end of the outer cylinder body, a liquid outlet pipe orifice is opened on the outer cylinder body on the side of the sealing cover, and a liquid inlet pipe orifice is opened at the bottom of the outer cylinder body.

[0006] Furthermore, a pressing ring installed at the port of the outer cylinder is provided at the upper end of the sealing cover, and a flow groove with a groove structure is provided below the pressing ring, and the position of the flow groove corresponds to the position of the liquid outlet pipe orifice.

[0007] Furthermore, the first-stage support cylinder is a T-shaped cylindrical structure, and the second-stage support cylinder installed at the upper end of the first-stage support cylinder slides up and down on the first-stage support cylinder. And a hydraulic cylinder cover is provided at the upper end of the first-stage support cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a flow pipeline is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the first-stage support cylinder, and second-stage pipelines are provided on both sides of the flow pipeline.

[0009] Furthermore, a safety locking device is further included, and the device is arranged between the second-stage support cylinder and the ejector rod. When the ejector rod reaches a predetermined support position, the safety locking device can lock the ejector rod.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0011] Through a delicately designed adjustment mechanism, namely the combination of the outer cylinder, the first-stage support cylinder, the second-stage support cylinder and the ejector rod, the device significantly improves the placement and taking efficiency of workpieces on the machine tool fixture. When the oil cylinder is in the released state, all support components are retracted into the outer cylinder, providing an open operation space for on-site personnel and enabling the workpiece to be conveniently and quickly installed on the fixture. Once the workpiece is placed, by simply operating the start button, the device can automatically complete the support operation, greatly shortening the adjustment time and thus improving the overall work efficiency. During the taking and placing process of workpieces, traditional support rods often interfere with components such as the turning end bowl mouth, resulting in frequent occurrence of product bumps and scratches. However, this hydraulic fixture long-stroke auxiliary support device avoids this interference phenomenon through optimized structural design. During the installation and disassembly of the workpiece, the support components can be completely retracted or expanded without causing any unnecessary contact or collision to the workpiece, effectively reducing the risk of product damage and improving the yield rate of the product. During the machining process, the workpiece needs to bear various forces such as cutting force and gravity. If the workpiece has insufficient rigidity, it is prone to deformation or displacement, thus affecting the machining accuracy. Through the coordinated action of the first-stage support cylinder and the second-stage support cylinder, the device can accurately lift the ejector rod to the workpiece support surface position, providing stable and reliable support for the workpiece. This support method not only ensures the rigidity of the workpiece during the machining process but also helps to improve the machining accuracy and surface quality. Description of the Drawings

The flow-through groove 132 with a groove structure: is used to allow liquid to flow inside the outer cylinder body. The groove design of the flow-through groove not only helps the smooth flow of the fluid, but also increases the structural stability.

[0020] Reinforcing rib structures are provided inside the outer cylinder body 1 to enhance the strength and rigidity of the fixed seat. The reinforcing rib structures are arranged along the length direction and the width direction of the fixed seat to form a stable support framework, effectively preventing deformation or damage caused by uneven force during the workpiece support process, and improving the overall stability and service life of the device;

[0021] The primary support cylinder 2 is a T-shaped cylindrical structure, and the secondary support cylinder 3 installed at the upper end of the primary support cylinder 2 slides up and down on the primary support cylinder 2.
