Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine cylinder detection, in particular to a hydraulic clamp for multi-angle milling of engine cylinders. Background Art

[0002] The engine block is an important component of the engine. During and after the processing, multiple key dimensions of the engine block need to be tested to ensure that the engine block meets production standards. Among them, the roundness and cylindricity of the cylinder bore and crankshaft hole of the engine block are key measurement dimensions.

[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese patent document engine cylinder clamp with publication number CN217046117U proposes to fix the engine cylinder in the installation space by combining a flat plate and a positioning pin, so that the operator can measure the relevant dimensions of the engine cylinder. The measurement is convenient and quick, which improves the measurement efficiency. However, consistent with the traditional method, when it is necessary to clamp a workpiece with a complex shape, traditional clamping tools are usually difficult to directly adapt to its different angle requirements, resulting in poor clamping effect, or the need to use multiple clamps for clamping at different angles, which not only reduces work efficiency but also increases the complexity of operation. In addition, the fixing method of traditional clamping tools is often relatively simple, mainly relying on a single clamping method, such as mechanical clamping or simple spring clamping. This fixing method may not be suitable for workpieces of various sizes and shapes, especially for workpieces with irregular shapes or that require precise positioning. Utility Model Content

The drive assembly includes two hydraulic rods fixedly installed on one side of the base plate, and the telescopic ends of the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to one side of the operating table.

[0008] Preferably, the driving assembly also includes sliding grooves on both sides of the base plate, and sliding columns are slidably installed inside the two sliding grooves.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] 1. This type of hydraulic clamp for multi-angle milling of engine cylinder blocks is equipped with a drive component and a clamping component. The clamping component achieves precise clamping of the engine cylinder block through the coordinated work of components such as the shell, contact block, clamping claw and push block. The contact block slides through the contact roller, pushing the clamping claw inward and clamping the engine cylinder block in the obtuse-angle groove. At the same time, the cooperation between the bottom of the clamping claw and the limiting wheel, as well as the squeezing of the third return spring, provide double clamping force.

Under the action of the fourth return spring, the two abutment blocks apply a clamping force to the engine cylinder block, which can not only clamp the surface of the cylinder block at multiple angles, but also further fix the engine cylinder block.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this utility model belongs.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the hydraulic clamp for multi-angle milling of engine cylinder blocks includes: a base plate 3 and an operating table 1 slidably mounted on the base plate 3; a clamping assembly, which is disposed on the top surface of the operating table 1 and is used to clamp the engine cylinder block; and a drive assembly, which is disposed on one side of the base plate 3 and is used to drive the clamping assembly to move. The drive assembly includes two hydraulic rods 2 fixedly mounted on one side of the base plate 3, with the telescopic ends of the hydraulic rods 2 fixedly connected to one side of the operating table 1. Several universal ball joints 8 are disposed in the middle of the operating table 1.

[0030] First, place the engine cylinder block on the operating table 1, adjust the clamping assembly to ensure that the cylinder block is firmly clamped, then start the driving assembly, and drive the clamping assembly to clamp the cylinder block through the telescopic movement of the two hydraulic rods 2. After the milling is completed, retract the hydraulic rods 2, restore the operating table 1 and the clamped cylinder block to their initial positions, release the clamping assembly, and remove the processed cylinder block. During the entire operation, the smooth drive of the hydraulic system and the support and sliding of the universal ball head 8 are utilized to achieve efficient and precise multi-angle milling processing, thereby improving work efficiency and processing quality.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly also includes sliding grooves 5 opened on both sides of the base plate 3, and sliding columns 7 are slidably installed inside the two sliding grooves 5. Notches 6 adapted to the sliding columns 7 are opened on both sides of the operating table 1. Two first return springs 4 are fixedly installed on the side of the base plate 3 away from the hydraulic rod 2. The other ends of the two first return springs 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the operating table 1. The two sliding grooves 5 are opened in an inclined shape and are arranged opposite to each other.

[0032] Turn on the drive assembly, and through the telescopic movement of the hydraulic rod 2, the output end of the hydraulic rod 2 pushes the operating table 1 away from the hydraulic rod 2. While the operating table 1 moves forward along the sliding grooves 5 on both sides of the base plate 3, the clamping assembly also moves outward. Since the sliding grooves 5 are inclined, the operating table 1 will automatically adjust its angle during movement to achieve multi-angle milling operations. By adjusting the pushing distance of the hydraulic rod 2, engine cylinders of different specifications can be conveniently clamped to meet various processing requirements. After the milling operation is completed, the hydraulic rod 2 is closed, and the two first reset springs 4 start working to reset the operating table 1 to its initial position. During the reset process, the operating table 1 moves in the opposite direction along the sliding grooves 5 to ensure that the clamping assembly and the cylinder body return to their original positions and prepare for the next operation.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly comprises two housings 9 slidably mounted on both sides of the operation table top 1, the two housings 9 are oppositely arranged, and the side of the housing 9 away from the center of the operation table top 1 is provided with a mounting hole 10 fixedly sleeved with the sliding column 7, the middle part of the housing 9 is slidably mounted with a contact block 16, one end of the contact block 16 is rotatably mounted with a contact roller 19, the inside bottom end of the housing 9 is fixedly mounted with a second reset spring 12, the other end of the second reset spring 12 is fixedly connected with the other end of the contact block 16, both sides of the housing 9 are rotatably mounted with a clamping jaw 20, both sides of the inside of the housing 9 are fixedly mounted with a first limiting block 13, one side of the middle part of the contact block 16 is fixedly mounted with a second limiting block 17, the bottom of the second limiting block 17 is matched with the top of the first limiting block 13, the other side of the middle part of the contact block 16 is fixedly mounted with two pushing blocks 18, the outer side of the two pushing blocks 18 is protruding and matched with the bottom of the clamping jaw 20, both ends of the inside of the housing 9 are fixedly mounted with a fixed plate 11, one side of the fixed plate 11 close to the contact block 16 is obtusely arranged, one side of the fixed plate 11 close to the contact block 16 is provided with a third reset spring 15, one end of the third reset spring 15 is fixedly connected with the fixed plate 11, the outer side of the two second limiting blocks 17 is obliquely arranged, the bottom of the clamping jaw 20 is rotatably mounted with a limiting wheel 26 matched with the outer side of the second limiting block 17;

[0034] When the engine block is placed on the clamping assembly, the engine block contacts the contact roller 19, under the action of external force, the contact block 16 slides inward through the rotation of the contact roller 19, when the contact block 16 slides to the maximum clamping range, the second limiting block 17 contacts the first limiting block 13, the contact block 16 stops sliding, at this time, the sliding of the contact block 16 will push the pushing block 18, and then push the clamping jaw 20 to close inward, in the process of the clamping jaw 20 closing into the obtuse angle slot of the fixed plate 11, the bottom of the clamping jaw 20 is matched with the limiting wheel 26, and the third reset spring 15 is extruded, realizing double fixation, this clamping mechanism not only ensures the stable clamping of the engine block, but also makes the clamping process more accurate and stable, effectively improves the operation efficiency of the clamping assembly, reduces the dependence on manual operation, and improves the safety and reliability in the clamping process.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 The end of the two clamping jaws 20 away from the limiting wheel 26 is rotatably mounted with a clamping arm 21, the clamping arm 21 is L-shaped, both ends of the clamping arm 21 are rotatably mounted with a roller 22, one side of the clamping arm 21 is fixedly mounted with a plurality of telescopic columns 23, the telescopic end of the plurality of telescopic columns 23 is fixedly connected with an abutting block 24, the bottom surface of the abutting block 24 is fixedly mounted with a fourth reset spring 25, the other end of the fourth reset spring 25 is fixedly connected with the clamping arm 21, the top surface of the abutting block 24 is outwardly convexly arc-shaped;

[0036] The engine cylinder body contacts the roller 22 and continues to be pushed inward. The two clamping arms 21 rotate relative to each other to cause the two abutment blocks 24 to contact the engine cylinder body. Under the action of the fourth return spring 25, the two abutment blocks 24 apply a clamping force to the engine cylinder body, which can not only clamp different surfaces of the cylinder body, but also further fix the engine cylinder body.

[0037] This application realizes stable clamping and locking of the engine cylinder at different angles through a clamping device composed of a return spring and a limiting wheel 26, combined with the composite movement of the sliding groove 5 inclination angle and the clamping structure, which is sufficient to provide sufficient clamping force for milling operations.
