[0002] A shift fork is a component of a car's transmission, also known as a shift fork. Connected to the shift handle, it's located at the bottom of the handle. Shifting the intermediate shift wheel changes the input / output speed ratio. A shift fork on a machine tool is used for speed changes, primarily in the operating mechanism. It shifts two meshing gears apart and then shifts one of the gears, which slides on the shaft, to the other gear to achieve a different speed. This involves changing the position of the lathe's sliding gear to achieve speed changes, or controlling the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, thereby controlling lateral or longitudinal feed. Shift forks are widely used in transmissions, but after production, the fork and slot plate must be polished. During this polishing process, the fork must be limited.

[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a clamping slot opened at one end of the adjustment seat 17, one side of the splint 4 is overlapped with one side of the adjustment seat 17, and a clamping block 13 is installed on one side of the splint 4 and is slidably connected to the clamping slot. An abutment groove is opened on one side of the clamping slot inside the adjustment seat 17, and the inner side of the abutment groove is connected to the inner side of the clamping slot. The inner side of the abutment groove is slidably connected with an abutment plate 14. First, move one side of the splint 4 closer to one side of the adjustment seat 17, let the clamping block 13 enter the inner side of the clamping slot, and perform preliminary clamping on the splint 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two groups of second springs 18 are arranged and installed between one side of the abutment plate 14 and the inner wall of the abutment groove, and the abutting ends of the abutment plate 14 and the block 13 are provided with inclined surfaces that fit each other. Then, the block 13 is gradually pushed into the inner side of the groove, and the protruding end of the block 13 contacts the protruding end of the abutment plate 14. The two groups of inclined surfaces force the abutment plate 14 to retract into the inner side of the abutment groove, and the two groups of second springs 18 are squeezed until the block 13 is completely pushed into the inner side of the groove, and one end of the abutment plate 14 is no longer blocked. The two groups of second springs 18 drive the abutment plate 14 to pop out to one side of the protruding end of the block 13 to abut, thereby completing the assembly of the splint 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pull rod is installed on one side of the abutment plate 14 between the two groups of second springs 18, and the pull rod is slidably connected to the adjustment seat 17. An operating slot is provided at the top of the adjustment seat 17, and the pull rod extends to one end inside the operating slot and is rotatably connected to a pull ring 19.

Furthermore, when removing the splint 4 for replacement, it is only necessary to buckle the pull ring 19 to drive the pull rod to slide inside the adjustment seat 17, so that the abutment plate 14 retracts to the inside of the abutment slot again, squeezing the two groups of second springs 18. After the protruding end of the abutment plate 14 is away from the protruding end of the block 13, the pull ring 19 can be deflected at a certain angle to hang it obliquely on the protruding end of the hanging column 20. At this time, the splint 4 can be directly pulled out for replacement, and the pull ring 19 can be removed after removal to reset it.
[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rotating assembly includes a damping shaft 5 rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed column 2, one end of the damping shaft 5 is installed with a rotating rod 6, the outer side of the rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to a docking plate 7, one side of the docking plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed column 2, the interior of the docking plate 7 is located on the outer side of the rotating rod 6 and a reset groove is provided, the inner side of the reset groove is slidably connected with a reset plate 8, a first spring 9 is installed between the two ends of one side of the reset plate 8 and the inner wall of the reset groove, the reset plate 8 is slidably connected to the rotating rod 6, a movable sleeve 10 is installed on one side of the reset plate 8, the movable sleeve 10 is slidably connected to the docking plate 7, the movable sleeve 10 is slidably connected to the rotating rod 6, a plurality of groups of positioning holes are arranged on one side of the docking plate 7, the protruding end of the movable sleeve 10 is installed with a positioning column 11, the positioning column 11 and the positioning The hole is a sliding connection, and a limiting groove is provided on one side of the rotating rod 6 inside the movable sleeve 10. A limiting block 12 is installed on one side of the rotating rod 6 to be slidably connected to the limiting groove. A handle is installed on the other end of the movable sleeve 10. Furthermore, holding the handle at one end of the movable sleeve 10 can drive it to move. When the movable sleeve 10 moves, it drives the reset plate 8 to compress the two groups of first springs 9 to retract, so that the positioning column 11 is disengaged from the inside of the positioning hole, and then cooperates with the limiting groove and the limiting block 12 and the damping shaft 5 to drive the positioning column 11 and the splint 4 to rotate. After the speed fork clamped between the two groups of splints 4 is rotated to the specified grinding angle, the handle can be loosened back, so that the two groups of first springs 9 rebound and drive the positioning column 11 to enter the positioning hole in the corresponding position, thereby positioning the adjusted position.

Furthermore, after placing the speed change fork between the rubber pads on the two sets of splints 4, starting the motor for forward or reverse rotation can drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate, and the two sets of adjusting seats 17 then perform opposite or reverse movement on the inner side of the adjusting slot. During the opposite movement, the rubber pad can fit the outer wall of the speed change fork to clamp it in position and wait for grinding.
[0031] The implementation principle of the speed change fork clamp of the present application is as follows: one side of the clamping plate 4 is moved closer to one side of the adjustment seat 17, the clamping block 13 is allowed to enter the inner side of the clamping groove, the clamping plate 4 is preliminarily clamped, and the clamping block 13 is gradually pushed into the inner side of the clamping groove. The protruding end of the clamping block 13 contacts the protruding end of the abutting plate 14, and the two sets of inclined surfaces are used to force the abutting plate 14 to retract into the inner side of the abutting groove, and the two sets of second springs 18 are squeezed until the clamping block 13 is completely pushed into the inner side of the clamping groove, and one end of the abutting plate 14 is pressed against the clamping block 13. No longer obstructed, the two sets of second springs 18 drive the abutment plate 14 to pop out to one side of the protruding end of the block 13 to abut, and then complete the assembly of the splint 4. When removing the splint 4 for replacement, it is only necessary to buckle the pull ring 19 to drive the pull rod to slide inside the adjustment seat 17, so that the abutment plate 14 retracts to the inside of the abutment groove again, squeezing the two sets of second springs 18. After the protruding end of the abutment plate 14 is away from the protruding end of the block 13, the pull ring 19 can be deflected at a certain angle to be hung obliquely on the hanging column. When the gear shift fork is clamped between the two sets of splints 4, the handle can be loosened back so that the two sets of first springs 9 rebound and drive the positioning post 11 into the positioning hole of the corresponding position to position the gear shift fork. After the gear shift fork is placed between the rubber pads on the two sets of splints 4, the motor can be started to rotate forward or reverse to drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate, and the two sets of adjusting seats 17 will then perform opposite or reverse movements inside the adjusting groove. During the opposite movement, the rubber pad can be fitted against the outer wall of the gear shift fork to clamp it in position, waiting for grinding.
[0032] The control method of the present invention is to control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. Moreover, the present invention is used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection are no longer explained in detail in the present invention.
