Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CNC processing, in particular to a CNC processing fixture for special-shaped parts. Background Art

[0002] LiDAR (LiDAR) uses a laser transmitter to emit laser light, then receives the reflected light after it strikes an object's surface. Distance is then measured by measuring the time difference between emission and reception. Because laser beams are narrow, have short wavelengths, and offer extremely high resolution, they can capture a wide range of information, including the target's emission characteristics, distance, and speed. LiDAR is widely used in robotics, intelligent vehicles, and other fields. The radar housing, typically made of metal or plastic, protects and secures the radar equipment. A die-casting rough housing is then processed into a finished product using CNC machining.

[0035] The CNC machining fixture for special-shaped parts of the present invention can stably support and press parts with complex structures and few flat surfaces, ensure the stability of the position of the parts during the machining process, avoid local vibration in the machining area that causes the tool to vibrate and form knife marks, improve the machining quality, and can also achieve machining of the upper and lower machining areas of the parts through one clamping, saving machining steps and improving machining efficiency; further, it can improve the stability of the overall position of the parts by clamping and positioning the material head, and facilitate the removal of the material head after machining and cutting, while avoiding the material head falling after being cut.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] When in use, first place the support plate that can rotate with the substrate in a state where the upper surface is horizontal and facing upward, and at the same time, place the piston rod of the cylinder in an extended state so that the movable pressure plate that moves up and down is away from the support plate, and at the same time, place the spinning cylinder on the support seat in a non-pressing state;

[0038] Next, the part to be processed is mounted on the profiling pad and the supporting pad so that the lower surface of the flange strip on the part is in contact with the upper surface of the supporting pad, and the lower surface of the arc-shaped cover plate on the part is in contact with each profiling pad, thereby achieving support and position limiting for the part.

[0039] At the same time, the lower surface of the parts loading head is in contact with the upper surface of the support base near one end of the support plate and is set in the area surrounded by the two pins and the spinning cylinder;

[0040] Next, the piston rod of the cylinder drives the movable pressure plate to move toward the part until the first and second pressure rods of different lengths respectively come into contact with the surface of the part. At the same time, the spinning cylinder switches to the pressing state, and the pressure block on it rotates to the top of the material head and presses it down.

[0041] By moving the spindle cutter head on the CNC machine and coordinating with the rotation of the base plate, milling is performed on both sides of the clamped part, removing the first and second scrap strips connected to the edge of the part. Other finishing operations such as drilling and deburring are performed in the upper and lower processing areas on the upper and lower sides of the part.

[0042] In the above-mentioned process of processing both sides of the part, the parts with complex structures and few flat surfaces can be stably supported and pressed, ensuring the stability of the position of the parts during the entire process of double-sided processing. It can also avoid the situation where local vibration in the processing area causes the tool to vibrate and form knife marks, thereby improving the processing quality.

[0043] For the material head connected to the part through the second waste strip, the stability of the overall position of the part can be improved by clamping and positioning the material head during the processing, and the rotation of the spinning cylinder can be used to facilitate the removal of the material head after processing, while preventing the material head from falling after being cut.

[0044] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
