[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this utility model proposes a special fixture for milling automotive parts, including a fixed table 1, a positioning component, and a clamping component. The middle position of the upper end face of the fixed table 1 is used to connect the positioning component. In use, the positioning component positions and restricts the compressor housing to facilitate subsequent fixing and clamping. The expansion component in the positioning component can expand outward to increase the diameter of the positioning component, thereby adapting to compressor housings of various sizes. The outer side of the fixed table 1 is used to connect clamping components distributed circumferentially with the central axis of the positioning component as the center. In use, the clamping component moves towards the positioning component to clamp and fix the workpiece sleeved on the outer side of the positioning component. The lower end face of the fixed table 1 is used to connect multiple pads, which support a certain space under the fixed table 1 to accommodate the expansion component.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figures 2-4As shown, this utility model proposes a special fixture for milling automotive parts. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning post 2, a clamping cover 3, and an expansion component. The positioning post 2 is connected to the middle position of the upper end face of the fixed table 1. A threaded hole is opened on the upper end face of the positioning post 2. A threaded post is connected to the lower end face of the clamping cover 3. The threaded post is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The expansion component is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 2 and is connected to the upper end face of the fixed table 1. When the expansion component is in use, the expansion component increases or expands the outer diameter of the positioning post 2 to accommodate workpieces of different sizes.

[0025] The expansion assembly includes a rotating shaft 4, a driving gear 5, a fixed shaft 6, a driven gear 7, an expansion plate 9, a connecting plate 10, a control assembly, and a fixing assembly. One end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to a through hole in the fixed platform 1, and the other end of the rotating shaft 4 passes through the fixed platform 1 and is connected to the driving gear 5. The control assembly is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 4. In use, the control assembly drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate to adjust the outer diameter of the positioning post 2. The fixed shaft 6 is located on the lower end face of the fixed platform 1, with the fixed shaft 6 and the positioning post 2 having the same center. The driven gear 7 is connected to the outside of the fixed shaft 6 and is connected to the driving gear 5. The driven gear 5 is engaged in a transmission connection. The fixed platform 1 has multiple equally spaced guide grooves 13. The support block 12 is slidably connected in the guide grooves 13. The two ends of the support block 12 are connected to the expansion plate 9 and the connecting plate 10, respectively. One side wall of the connecting plate 10 is used to connect with the sliding block 11. The sliding block 11 is slidably connected in multiple circumferentially distributed arc-shaped adjustment grooves 8 on the driven gear 7. The fixed component is connected to the rotating shaft 4. In the initial state, the fixed component rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 4. In the use state, the fixed component is slidably connected to the fixed platform 1 to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft 4.

[0026] The control assembly includes a connecting rod 14 and an adjusting handwheel 15. The adjusting handwheel 15 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 14, and the other end of the connecting rod 14 is connected to a protrusion. The protrusion and the groove are detachably connected. The connecting rod 14 can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate by interlocking the protrusion and the groove on the rotating shaft 4. At the same time, it can be freely disassembled to prevent interference with the expansion plate 9.

[0027] The fixing assembly includes a rotating ring 16, a limiting ring 17, a limiting bolt 18, and a guide rod 19. The rotating ring 16 is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 4. The limiting ring 17 is located below the rotating ring 16 and is arranged parallel to the rotating ring 16. The lower end face of the rotating ring 16 is connected to the circumferentially distributed guide rod 19. The guide rod 19 is slidably connected to the through hole opened on the limiting ring 17. The limiting bolt 18 passes through the through hole on the rotating ring 16 and is threadedly connected to the limiting ring 17.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the fixed platform 1 is provided with a receiving groove 20, which is used to connect a scale 21; the scale 21 facilitates observation of the current outer diameter of the expansion plate 9 and facilitates subsequent adjustments.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a special fixture for milling automotive parts. Compared with Embodiment 2, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a telescopic device 22, a mounting plate 23, and a clamping plate 24. Multiple telescopic devices 22 are evenly distributed and connected to the upper surface of the fixed table 1. The telescopic device 22 is selected from, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 22 is used to connect with the mounting plate 23, and the clamping plate 24 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 23.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of dovetail blocks 25 arranged side by side are connected to the side wall of the clamping plate 24, and the dovetail blocks 25 are slidably connected to the dovetail grooves 26 opened on the mounting plate 23; the clamping plate 24 can be moved vertically to disengage from the mounting plate 23, which facilitates the replacement of the clamping plate 24 with compressor housings of different shapes.

[0032] In summary, when using this utility model, the compressor housing to be processed is placed on the fixed platform 1. The positioning pin 2 and the expansion plate 9 are passed through the through hole on the compressor housing. Then, the threaded pin below the clamping cover 3 is inserted into the threaded hole to restrict the vertical movement of the compressor housing. The clamping cover 3 can also be replaced according to the shape of different compressor housings. The expansion plate 9 is adjusted according to the size of different through holes. The protrusion on the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the groove at the top of the rotating shaft 4. By rotating the adjusting handwheel 15, the connecting rod 14 is driven, thereby driving the protrusion and the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The driving gear 5 on the rotating shaft 4 rotates, driving the driven gear 7 on the fixed shaft 6 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 7 causes its adjustment groove 8 to rotate. The sliding block 11 slides along the adjusting groove 8. Driven by the connecting plate 10, the support block 12 moves linearly along the guide groove 13 opened on the fixed platform 1. The expansion plate 9 thus moves away from the central axis of the positioning column 2, thereby increasing the outer diameter of the positioning column 2, which facilitates positioning of compressor housings of more sizes. The operator starts the telescopic device 22. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 22 drives the mounting plate 23 and the clamping plate 24 to move. The clamping plate 24 clamps and fixes the compressor housing that has been positioned. Depending on the shape of different compressor housings, the clamping plate 24 can be moved upward to disengage it from the mounting plate 23. Changing the clamping plate 24 to a different shape can achieve a better clamping effect.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
