Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machinery, in particular to a machining center, and more particularly to a device for quickly switching and accurately positioning a substrate for a machining production line. Background Art

[0002] In heavy-duty engineering vehicles, the key large structural parts of the body, important assembly holes and mounting surfaces of welded parts need to be processed in the machining center:

[0003] 1. The structural parts need to be fixed on a special processing fixture first. The base plate of the special fixture and the workbench of the machining center need to be manually fixed on the workbench with the help of a splint. Before the fixture is fixed, the position of the workpiece relative to the machine tool processing spindle needs to be repeatedly tested to determine.

[0004] 2. When switching processing steps, the fixture needs to be re-fixed on the workbench with a clamp. Before the fixture is fixed, the position of the workpiece relative to the machine tool processing spindle needs to be determined through inspection.

[0005] 3. After processing, the workpiece and fixture will be moved to the inspection and cleaning station, and the operator will fix the fixture position again with a splint;

[0006] The existing technical solutions have the following shortcomings:

[0007] 1. Before the machining center performs machining operations on the same process, the position of the workpiece relative to the spindle of the machining center needs to be measured and determined by the operator with the help of tools before the fixture can be fixed. Operators need to repeat the same operation to perform new machining tasks. The low accuracy of the fixture position determined by manual measurement will affect the machining results, and it cannot be guaranteed that the position of the fixture fixed by the operator is completely consistent each time without deviation.

[0008] 2. When switching the processing steps for the same structural part, the workpiece's reference position and processing position relative to the processing spindle will change. The operator needs to check and re-determine the position of the workpiece relative to the machine tool's processing spindle.

[0009] 3. Low degree of automation and low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model is a device for quickly switching and accurately positioning substrates for machining production lines, comprising a fixture-side quick-change substrate and a fixed-side substrate;

[0028] The fixture-side quick-change base plate includes a fixture mounting plate 11, and the fixture mounting plate 11 is symmetrically provided with a first positioning locking mechanism. The two positioning locking mechanisms each include at least two first support blocks 15, a support and fixing block 12, a guide rail 13, a positioning adjustment Latin and two locking Latins 14. The first support block 15, the support and fixing block 12 and the guide rail 13 are spaced apart from the inside to the outside along the length direction of the fixture mounting plate 11, and the support and fixing block 12 is spaced apart along the width direction of the fixture mounting plate 11. The length direction of the support and fixing block 12 and the guide rail 13 is parallel to the width direction of the fixture mounting plate 11. The positioning adjustment Latin and the locking Latin 14 are spaced apart on the support and fixing block 12 along the length direction of the support and fixing block 12, and the positioning adjustment Latin is located at the end of the support and fixing block 12;

[0029] The fixed side base plate includes a fixed mounting plate 21, and second positioning and locking mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the fixed mounting plate 21. The two second positioning and locking mechanisms each include a lifting mechanism 22, three zero-point positioning units 28, and a guide assembly 23, which are arranged from the inside to the outside along the length direction of the fixed mounting plate 21. The zero-point positioning units 28 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the fixed mounting plate 21. A second support block 26 is respectively provided between any two adjacent zero-point positioning units 28 on the fixed mounting plate 21.

[0030] The zero point positioning unit 28 cooperates with the positioning adjustment Latin and the locking Latin 14 , the guide assembly 23 cooperates with the guide rail 13 , the first support block 15 cooperates with the fixed mounting plate 21 , and the second support block 26 cooperates with the support fixing block 12 .

[0031] Furthermore, the fixed mounting plate 21 is provided with an in-position sensor 27 , a descending sensor 25 and a lifting sensor 24 .

[0032] Furthermore, the number of the first support blocks 15 in one of the first positioning and locking mechanisms is five.

[0033] Furthermore, the positioning adjustment key in one of the first positioning locking mechanisms is positioning key 16, and the positioning adjustment key in the other first positioning locking mechanism is adjustment key 17.

[0034] Specifically, the guide rail 13, positioning adjustment Latin, locking Latin 14, lifting mechanism 22, zero point positioning unit 28, guide assembly 23, in-place sensor 27, descent sensor 25, lifting sensor 24, etc. in this embodiment all adopt well-known solutions in the prior art, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] The fixture of the workpiece is mounted on the fixture mounting plate 11 of the fixture-side quick-change baseplate. The bottom surface of the fixture mounting plate 11 can be machined with mounting holes according to the fixture, which is used to mount the fixture on the fixture-side quick-change baseplate. The fixed-side baseplate is mounted on the workbench of the machining center, the inspection and cleaning station after the workpiece is processed, or other stations required by the process. If the fixed-side baseplate is mounted on the workbench of the machining center, the position of the fixed-side baseplate needs to be measured in advance to meet the machining requirements of the machining center for the workpiece and to be determined. This allows for rapid switching and precise positioning during subsequent machining of the same workpiece.

[0037] After the fixture side quick change substrate is driven into the workstation by the external drive mechanism, it comes to the fixed side substrate. The in-position sensor 27 receives a signal. Under the control of the controller, the external drive mechanism stops driving, the lifting mechanism 22 of the fixed side substrate descends, and the positioning adjustment Latin, locking Latin 14 and zero point positioning unit 28 are positioned. After descending into position, the descending sensor 25 receives a signal. The internal structure of the zero point positioning unit 28 acts to lock the positioning adjustment Latin and locking Latin 14 to achieve the fixation of the fixture side quick change substrate and the fixed side substrate. The first support block 15 is used to support the fixed mounting plate 21, and the second support block 26 is used to support the support fixed block 12. Then the next step can be performed. When the operation of this process is completed, the internal structure of the zero point positioning unit 28 acts to release and unlock the positioning adjustment Latin and locking Latin 14. The lifting mechanism 22 rises to lift the fixture side quick change substrate and the fixture. The lifting sensor 24 detects that the lifting is in place, and the external drive mechanism drives the fixture side quick change substrate and the fixture to leave this station.

[0038] Functional Description:

[0039] The two sets of in-position sensors 27 on the fixed side substrate limit bracket are used for induction of in-position signals of the quick-change substrate on the fixture side;

[0040] The descent sensor 25 of the fixed side substrate is used to detect when the fixture side quick-change substrate has descended into position;

[0041] The first support block 15 of the fixed side base plate is used to support the fixed mounting plate 21 of the fixture side quick change base plate;

[0042] The second support block 26 of the fixed side base plate is used to support the support and fixed block 12 of the fixture side quick-change base plate;

[0043] The fixed side base plate is composed of a push-pull clamp, rollers, and a wheel bracket. The lifting mechanism 22 is used to lift the fixture side quick-change base plate;

[0044] The fixed side substrate descending sensor 25 is used to detect when the fixture side quick-change substrate has descended into position;

[0045] The guide assembly 23 composed of guide wheels is used to guide the guide rail 13;

[0046] The positioning adjustment Latin of the quick-change baseplate on the fixture side matches the corresponding zero point positioning unit 28 of the fixed side baseplate, which can achieve the requirement of repeated positioning accuracy of + / -0.005mm and avoid over-positioning when the upper and lower baseplates are matched;

[0047] The clamping latch 14 of the fixture-side quick-change baseplate matches the zero-point positioning unit 28 corresponding to the fixed-side baseplate, and can fix the position of the fixture-side quick-change baseplate.

[0048] Advantages of this utility model:

[0049] 1. In the same processing step, similar workpieces can be quickly switched and accurately positioned, which greatly reduces production time and thus improves production efficiency.

[0050] 2. When switching processing procedures for the same structural part, rapid switching and precise positioning can be achieved, which greatly reduces production time and thus improves production efficiency.

[0051] 3. The repeatability of the fixture-side quick-change baseplate and the fixed-side baseplate can reach + / -0.005mm, facilitating a wide range of applications.

[0052] 4. High degree of automation.
