Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of positioning devices, and more specifically, to an automatic positioning device suitable for T-shaped pull rod blanks in the mechanical processing industry. Background Art

[0002] "T"-shaped tie rod is a relatively important part in mechanical power devices. It is often used in operating systems and is used in conjunction with other parts. The basic form of the "T"-shaped tie rod is that the long horizontal rod and the short vertical rod are perpendicular to each other. The two rod parts are machined in two processes. The processing process is: Process A: Turn (mill) the right end face of the blank and punch the center hole; Process B: Process the long horizontal rod with the vertical short rod in the blank state as the reference; Process C: Use the processed long horizontal rod as the precise reference to process the two outer circles of the short vertical rod. The blanks of "T"-shaped tie rod parts are produced according to the batch size. There are blanks, castings, forgings, etc. Most of them are formed in large batches by casting and forging. The existing fixture cannot balance the blank error when positioning the "T"-shaped tie rod. When there is an error in the blank, accurate positioning cannot be achieved.

[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0015] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an automatic positioning device suitable for T-type pull rod blanks in the mechanical processing industry, including a clamping cylinder 1, a mounting plate 2 is provided on one side of the clamping cylinder 1, a fixed V-block 3 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 2, and floating V-blocks 4 are provided on the top and bottom of the fixed V-block 3. A limiting seat 8 is provided on the side of the floating V-block 4 away from the fixed V-block 3, a threaded seat 5 is provided inside the limiting seat 8, and a locking nut 6 is provided on the end of the threaded seat 5 away from the floating V-block 4, a reset spring 7 is provided on the outer side of the threaded seat 5, a limiting fixed block is provided on the floating V-block 4, and the limiting fixed block is fixed to the mounting plate 2 by screws.

[0016] One end of the threaded seat 5 close to the floating V-block 4 is fixedly mounted on the floating V-block 4 .

[0017] The two floating V-blocks 4 are symmetrically arranged on the top and bottom of the fixed V-block 3 .

[0018] The limiting seat 8 is fixed on the mounting plate 2 by screws.

[0019] The locking nut 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded seat 5 , and the floating V-block 4 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 2 .

[0020] The specific implementation method is as follows: when using the utility model, the fixed V-block 3 is used as the main positioning to complete the X and Z direction positioning of the short vertical rod and provide the power for the workpiece rotation. The floating V-block 4 and the return spring 7 are used together as the auxiliary positioning of the workpiece and are arranged in the orthogonal direction of the workpiece to achieve symmetrical floating positioning of the workpiece. The two coaxial and symmetrically arranged return springs 7 act on the rear ends of the two floating V-blocks 4 respectively. The deviation of the workpiece in the up and down directions automatically slides to the spring force balance position after contacting the inclined surface of a floating V-block 4, and the two floating V-blocks 4 are balanced to achieve the opposite synchronous movement, symmetrical floating positioning of the workpiece, and ensure that the center position remains unchanged, thus completing the Y direction positioning of the V-block short vertical rod. The threaded connection structure is used to adjust the two threads. The position of the seat 5 can compensate for the difference in the force of the reset spring 7 and the processing error of the two floating V-blocks 4, so that the oblique surfaces of the two V-blocks are symmetrical to the rotation center line of the lathe. The lower structure of the floating V-block 4 is provided with a raised falcon block, so that the floating V-block 4 can slide in the groove of the clamping body mounting plate 2. On the side of the floating V-block 4, a set of limit fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the floating V-block 4 can stably slide along the straight line of the groove and limit its tendency to flip. The angle design of the floating V-block 4 must ensure that there is sufficient component force in the sliding direction to ensure that the two floating V-blocks 4 slide smoothly and synchronously. The processing of the floating V-block 4 is mainly based on simultaneous clamping processing, so that there is no angle processing error. The focus of the angle design of the floating V-block 4 is to reduce friction resistance The higher the hardness of the V-block and the better the surface roughness, the smaller the friction with the workpiece and the smaller the workpiece positioning error. The material of the workpiece is mainly steel, with a small amount of copper and aluminum. Considering the friction coefficient between these materials and the V-block and actual use, the angle of the V-block is preferably 53°-57°. The size changes of workpieces in different batches are also automatically adapted by the floating V-block 4 floating back and forth. The top of the lathe tailstock supports the top hole on the right end of the long crossbar of the workpiece, and gradually approaches the fixed V-block 3. When the main positioning is completed, the floating V-block 4 also completes the auxiliary positioning at the same time. The workpiece is fully positioned. The fixture uses a lathe chuck as the whole, and the clamping end clamps the cylinder 1. The geometric center of the fixture is the rotation center of the lathe. The long crossbar positioning is achieved by using the top of the machine tailstock. The top hole on the right end face of the workpiece is pressed against the top hole, so that the fixture and the workpiece are fully positioned and connected to the lathe as a whole, with sufficient rigidity to meet the actual processing needs. This enables the utility model to utilize the principle of automatic reset of V-blocks and springs, and to design a set of fixed V-blocks 3 for the fixture as the main positioning to achieve local positioning and transmit the power of workpiece rotation. Another set of floating V-blocks 4, together with the reset spring 7, are used as auxiliary positioning and are arranged in the orthogonal direction of the workpiece to achieve symmetrical floating positioning of the workpiece. The top of the lathe tailstock presses against the top hole on the right end of the long cross bar of the workpiece and gradually approaches the fixed V-block 3. When the main positioning is completed, the floating V-block 4 also completes the auxiliary positioning at the same time. The workpiece is fully positioned and the fixture is fixed with the lathe chuck.Providing rotational power provides the actual processing conditions, so that the present invention can balance the errors of the blanks and achieve accurate positioning regardless of the actual errors of the blanks supplied.

Another set of floating V-blocks 4, together with the reset spring 7, is used as auxiliary positioning and is arranged in the orthogonal direction of the workpiece to achieve symmetrical floating positioning of the workpiece.
