Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fixtures, in particular to a five-axis milling fixture which is convenient for curved surface processing. Background Art

[0002] Milling is a mechanical processing method that uses a milling cutter as a tool to process the surface of an object. Milling refers to the use of a rotating multi-edge tool to cut the workpiece. It is a highly efficient processing method. During milling, the cutting force is large, and it is intermittent cutting, resulting in large vibrations. Therefore, the clamping force of the milling machine fixture is required to be large, and the fixture stiffness and strength requirements are relatively high.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent publication number CN215967480U proposes a five-axis milling fixture with a single-shot clamp applier. The fixture can perfectly adapt to raw materials of different lengths, reduce costs, reduce waiting time caused by fixture changeover, avoid clamping errors caused by dimensional errors between raw and unfinished materials, and can adapt to the processing of multiple raw materials, avoiding errors caused by raw material differences. The design and use costs are greatly reduced. However, in actual application, there are still problems when the five-axis milling fixture is used to process curved workpieces. Since the processing of curved surfaces requires the coordination of multiple axes and multi-faceted processing, the clamping requirements of the fixture are relatively high. It is necessary to ensure that the workpiece can be rotated or moved on multiple sides during processing without falling. However, the existing fixture only fixes the workpiece by fixing the side of the workpiece to fix the entire workpiece. This makes the relative position of the workpiece and the fixture easily change when processing certain angles during curved surface processing, resulting in large dimensional errors of the workpiece after processing. Therefore, we disclose a five-axis milling fixture that is convenient for curved surface processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a five-axis milling fixture that is convenient for curved surface processing, so as to solve the problem that the existing fixture is prone to relative movement between the workpiece and the fixture when processing the curved surface of the workpiece, resulting in large dimensional errors of the workpiece after processing.

A workpiece is placed between the fixture base plate and the second clamping plate, and the outer wall of the workpiece is in contact with one side of the first clamping plate. A limiting component is provided at one end of the second clamping plate, and the limiting component fixes the position of the workpiece by limiting the position of the second clamping plate.

[0006] Preferably, both sides of the second clamp are fixedly connected with positioning plates, the bottom end of the positioning plate is penetrated by a first fixing rod, the top end of the clamp bottom plate is provided with several positioning grooves along the movable groove, the lower end of the first fixing rod is provided with a thread, and the positioning groove and the first fixing rod are threadedly connected.

[0007] Preferably, a second fixing rod passes through the upper end of the first fixing rod, a limiting slot is provided in the middle of the positioning plate, the second fixing rod passes through one side of the positioning plate and is movably engaged with the limiting slot, a slot is provided in the middle of the first fixing rod, and a blocking block is fixedly connected to the middle of the second fixing rod, and the blocking block is movably engaged with the slot.

[0008] Preferably, the second fixing rod and the first fixing rod are both T-shaped columns, and the positioning plate is an L-shaped plate.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of limiting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second splint, and the limiting rods are movably sleeved with the corresponding first splints.

[0010] Preferably, the movable groove is a T-shaped groove, the first clamping plate is a T-shaped plate, and two first clamping plates form a group and are respectively fitted with two adjacent side surfaces of the workpiece.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the clamp bottom plate limits the moving position of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate through the moving groove, and the workpiece is restricted by the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, so that the workpiece is not easily shaken when rotating or moving during processing, so that the workpiece is better fixed when processing curved surfaces, and the dimensional error of the workpiece after processing is smaller;

[0012] The positions of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can be adjusted according to the specifications of the workpiece to be processed. After that, the first fixing rod passes through the positioning plate and is fixed relatively to the fixture base plate through the positioning groove. The connection direction of the first fixing rod and the fixture base plate is perpendicular to the movement direction of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate after being subjected to force, so that the position of the first fixing rod after connecting the positioning plate and the clamp base plate is not easy to move, so that the positions of the positioning plate and the second clamping plate are fixed, thereby fixing the position of the workpiece to be processed, making the practicality of the fixture better.

A workpiece 10 is placed between the clamp base plate 1 and the second clamping plate 4, and the outer wall of the workpiece 10 is fitted with one side of the first clamping plate 3. The position of the second clamping plate 4 is fixed by limiting the position of the second clamping plate 4 through the limit assembly. The position of the workpiece 10 is such that the position of the workpiece 10 placed on the top of the fixture base plate 1 is limited by the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 4, so that the workpiece 10 is not easily shaken when it is rotated or moved during processing, so that the workpiece 10 is better fixed when performing curved surface processing, and the dimensional error of the workpiece 10 after processing is smaller.
