Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision boring fixture technology, specifically a precision boring fixture for automotive connecting rods. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex structure of a car engine, the connecting rod is a crucial yet often overlooked component. Like a loyal messenger, it precisely transmits power between the piston and crankshaft, ensuring the engine operates efficiently and stably; it is a key part of the car's powertrain.

[0003] Generally, connecting rods are divided into a large-hole end plane and a small-hole end plane. The thickness of the two ends is sometimes the same, and sometimes one side is thicker than the other. Because the positioning height of the fixture has a tolerance, and the thickness of the two ends of the connecting rod itself has a symmetry tolerance, the two end planes of the connecting rod may not be on the same horizontal plane after the connecting rod is installed and positioned. This makes it difficult to control the parallelism of the precision boring process. Utility Model Content

[0023] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 4 A precision boring jig for automotive connecting rods includes a base plate 8, a side plate 9 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 8, a support plate 10 fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 9, and a top plate 11 fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 9.

[0025] A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 8. A threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. A threaded cylinder 14 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 13. A support platform 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 14. A slide cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform 15. A slide rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 11. A telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 18. A movable block 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the telescopic rod 18. A movable plate 20 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable block 19. A large end pressure plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 20. A small end positioning pin 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 15. A telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 11. A floating support 3 is set inside the support plate 10. A large end pad 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 11. A workpiece 1 is set on the top of the large end pad 5. A small end pressure plate 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the telescopic rod 21. A movable plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 21. A large end positioning pin 6 is set inside the large end pad 5.

[0026] Furthermore, the small end pressure plate 4 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable plate 22, so that the telescopic rod 21 can drive the small end pressure plate 4 to change its angle.

[0027] Furthermore, workpiece 1 is located at the bottom of the large end pressure plate 7, workpiece 1 is movably connected to the outer wall of the large end positioning pin 6, and workpiece 1 is located at the top of the floating support 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the movable plate 20 is located at the top of the telescopic rod 18, allowing the movable block 19 to change its angle, and the movable plate 20 can serve as a limit.

[0029] Furthermore, the support plate 10 has a circular hole inside, through which the threaded cylinder 14 passes and moves, allowing the threaded cylinder 14 to move through the circular hole.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer wall shape of the slide rod 17 matches the inner wall shape of the slide cylinder 16, and the slide cylinder 16 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 17, so that the slide cylinder 16 can be stably slidably limited on the outer wall of the slide rod 17.

[0031] Determine the positioning method for the large hole:

[0032] To facilitate workpiece placement, the large hole is designed with expansion pins for positioning, and the gap between the expansion pins can be 0.3-0.4mm;

[0033] Because the large hole needs to be machined, the expansion pin needs to be pulled down after positioning to make room for machining;

[0034] Next, consider the pinhole positioning method:

[0035] If both the large and small holes are expanded with pins, the workpiece will move with the side subjected to greater force. Therefore, only the large hole expansion pin is designed, and the small hole is designed as a fixing pin, but it should be diamond-shaped, only controlling the radial restriction. The copper bushing allowance is only 0.4-0.5mm, and the pin gap should not be too large, otherwise it will not be able to be machined or will be machined off-center.

[0036] Even small holes need to be machined, so the small hole locating pin needs to be pulled down to make room for machining.

[0037] The last step is the crucial one:

[0038] After the large and small holes are positioned, the large end plane is also positioned. Because the small end plane is uneven, a hydraulic support cylinder needs to be designed to quickly push up before the small end pressure plate presses down, but it cannot push the workpiece. When it touches the workpiece, it locks and holds it, thus achieving the purpose of floating positioning surface. In this way, the processing will not be affected by the unevenness of the two end planes, and the pass rate is improved.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
