DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 And specific embodiments discuss the present invention in detail.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a processing tool for fixing rail members is installed on a machine tool workbench 1. A plurality of parallel T-slots 10 are provided on the machine tool workbench 1 to facilitate clamping other positioning components. Two electromagnetic clamps 2 are installed on the machine tool workbench 1. The electromagnetic clamps 2 are conventional and include an electromagnetic magnetic base 20, a bottom magnetic pad 21, and a side magnetic pad 22. The installation directions of the two electromagnetic clamps 2 are opposite.

[0029] A processing tool for fixing rail members includes a main connecting plate 3 and two ground rails 4. The two ground rails 4 are respectively adsorbed on the left and right electromagnetic clamps 2, the bottom surface of the ground rail 4 is adsorbed on the bottom attraction magnetic pad 21, and the side surface of the ground rail 4 is adsorbed on the side attraction magnetic pad 22, thereby fixing the position of the ground rail 4; a limiting groove 40 is opened in the ground rail 4, the main connecting plate 3 is clamped in the limiting groove 40, and the side wall of the main connecting plate 3 is pressed against the groove wall of the limiting groove 40, thereby limiting the displacement of the main connecting plate 3 in the length direction of the ground rail 4.

[0030] A main connecting plate positioning mechanism 5 is provided on the main connecting plate 3. The main connecting plate positioning mechanism 5 includes two groups of first positioning components 50 and multiple groups of second positioning components 51. The first positioning component 50 includes an abutment plate 500 and a fixing plate 501. The abutment plate 500 and the fixing plate 501 are both fixedly connected to the side wall of the main connecting plate 3. The abutment plate 500 and the fixing plate 501 are located on both sides of the two ground rails 4. The abutment plate 500 abuts against the side wall of one of the ground rails 4. A first fixing nut 502 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 501. A tightening bolt 503 is threadedly connected to the inner thread of the first fixing nut 502. The tightening bolt 503 abuts against the side wall of the other ground rail 4, thereby limiting the displacement of the main connecting plate 3 on a horizontal plane perpendicular to the length direction of the ground rail 4. The two groups of first positioning components 50 are located at both ends of the main connecting plate 3.

[0031] Multiple groups of second positioning components 51 are arranged between the main connecting plate 3 and the machine tool worktable 1. The second positioning components 51 include a support column 510. The top of the support column 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main connecting plate 3. The bottom end of the support column 510 is installed on the machine tool worktable 1 through two T-slot bolts 511, thereby limiting the vertical displacement of the main connecting plate 3 and improving the stability of the main connecting plate 3; the T-slot bolts 511 slide in the T-slot 10 of the machine tool worktable 1, thereby adjusting the position of the support column 510.

[0032] A plurality of parallel T-shaped mounting grooves 30 are provided on the top surface of the main connecting plate 3. The mounting grooves 30 are provided along the length direction of the T-shaped grooves 10. A plurality of pads 6 are placed on the top surface of the main connecting plate 3. The plurality of pads 6 are arranged in sequence in the same mounting groove 30. A rail member 7 is placed on the pad 6. The rail member 7 is placed along the length direction of the ground rail 4. After the initial installation of this tooling on the machine tool workbench 1 is completed, in order to eliminate cumulative errors, the pad 6 is usually self-milled before the rail member 7 is processed to ensure the overall flatness and positioning accuracy of the tooling.

[0033] A rail positioning mechanism 8 is provided on the main connecting plate 3, and the rail positioning mechanism 8 includes an end positioning member 80, multiple side positioning members 81, several third positioning components 82 and several fourth positioning components 83. The end positioning member 80 abuts against one of the end faces of the rail member 7. The end positioning member 80 is used to position the installation position of the rail member 7 on the main connecting plate 3. The other end of the rail member 7 does not need to be limited because the milling force of the machine tool is not that large, and there is friction between the third positioning component 82 and the fourth positioning component 83 and the rail member 7, which is sufficient to ensure the stability of the rail member 7; the multiple side positioning members 81 are all located on the same side of the rail member 7 and abut on the rail waist of the rail member 7 at the same time, and the third positioning component 82 is located on the side away from the rail member 7 On one side of the surface positioning member 81, the third positioning assembly 82 includes a support plate 820, which is slidably arranged in the installation groove 30. A second fixing nut 821 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 820, and a positioning bolt 822 is threadedly connected to the second fixing nut 821. One end of the positioning bolt 822 is pressed against the waist of the rail member 7, and a sleeve 823 is rotatably connected to the end of the positioning bolt 822 close to the rail member 7. The positioning bolt 822 is abutted against the rail member 7 through the sleeve 823, and the sleeve 823 can reduce the damage of the positioning bolt 822 to the rail member 7; the third positioning assembly 82 and the side positioning member 81 press against the rail member 7 from both sides of the rail member 7, thereby limiting the displacement of the rail member 7 in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the length direction of the rail member 7.

[0034] The fourth positioning assembly 83 is also located on the side of the rail member 7 away from the side positioning assembly 81. The fourth positioning assembly 83 includes a Z-shaped pressure plate 830. The end of the pressure plate 830 away from the rail member 7 is vertically threadedly connected with a height adjustment bolt 831. The bottom end of the height adjustment bolt 831 is set in the mounting groove 30, and the height adjustment bolt 831 can adjust the height of the pressure plate 830; the end of the pressure plate 830 close to the rail member 7 is pressed on the rail bottom of the rail member 7. A T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 is vertically passed through the pressure plate 830. The T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 is located between the height adjustment bolt and the rail member 7. The bottom end of the T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 is set in the mounting groove 30. The T-shaped quick-release bolt 832 presses the pressure plate 830 downward, so that the pressure plate 830 presses the rail bottom of the rail member 7, thereby limiting the displacement of the rail member 7 in the vertical direction; the pressure plate 830 is set to be Z-shaped to reduce the height of the pressure plate 830 and the T-shaped quick-release bolt 832, thereby avoiding milling interference.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two rail members 7 and two sets of rail positioning mechanisms 8 are installed on the main connecting plate 3, which can be adapted to a dual-axis CNC machine tool and process two rail members 7 at the same time; of course, in other embodiments, the number of rail members 7 installed on the main connecting plate 3 can be adjusted according to the type of CNC machine tool, and it is only necessary to open a corresponding number of installation slots 30 on the main connecting plate 3.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the pressure plate 830 does not directly press the rail member 7 downward. The fourth positioning assembly 83 also includes a positioning and pressing column 833. The positioning and pressing column 833 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure plate 830 close to the rail member 7. The rail member 7 is provided with a bolt hole 70 in the previous process. The positioning and pressing column 833 is inserted into the bolt hole 70. The pressure plate 830 presses the rail member 7 downward through the positioning and pressing column 833; this method is used to press the rail member 7 with the missing rail bottom. The pressure plate 830 cannot directly press the rail bottom of the rail member 7, so the pressure plate 830 presses the rail member 7 downward through the positioning and pressing column 833.

[0038] The above further describes the present invention with the help of specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
