Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pad processing technology, and in particular relates to a pad grinding and positioning fixture. Background Technology
[0002] The mounting plate is a crucial component of fastening systems on high-speed rail, heavy-haul freight, and urban rail transit lines. The main structure of the mounting plate includes a rectangular plate body and integrally formed support bosses on both sides of the bottom of the plate body, with the support bosses having a U-shaped structure. The plate body has several mounting holes for installation at the equipment's mounting location.
[0003] The main function of the pad is to maintain the stability of the track fastening system and meet the requirements of track safety.
[0004] During the production and processing of pads, irregularly shaped pads are mainly formed by casting. After casting, the surface of the pads has many burrs. Pads with burrs not only cannot be easily installed in the installation position, but the formation of burrs can also easily injure operators during operation.
[0005] Meanwhile, the formation of burrs can easily lead to mismatch with the position of the mounting holes and slots, making installation impossible.
[0006] Therefore, the pad must be cleaned and polished to remove the burrs and roughness on the surface so that the surface quality and dimensions meet the requirements.
[0007] During the polishing process, the polishing force of the polishing wheel causes the pad to become unstable. Specifically, the bottom of the pad has a support boss, and the formation of the support boss makes it difficult for the pad to be placed stably.
[0008] Therefore, in the existing technology, the pad is locked by locking fixtures, such as by using the pressing edge method. However, the drawbacks are also obvious: in order to cope with the high intensity of grinding, it is necessary to lock it fully. After grinding, the locking structure needs to be loosened, which makes the operation too cumbersome. In order to maintain stability during the operation, the locking force of the nut on the locking structure is large, which makes the operation more difficult when loosening the workpiece.
[0009] Therefore, the existing tooling is complicated to operate, and locking and unlocking are time-consuming, resulting in low grinding efficiency of the pad and high difficulty in operation.
[0010] At the same time, due to the differences in the structure of different types of pads, multiple types of clamps are often required to lock the pads in actual work, resulting in poor versatility of the clamps and making them very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0011] Based on the above background, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pad grinding and positioning fixture.
[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0013] A pad grinding and positioning fixture includes a pad loading fixture, wherein the pad loading fixture includes a material table, and a pad lifting mechanism is respectively assembled and connected to both sides of the material table.
[0014] The pad lifting mechanism includes an upper lifting frame for lifting the bottom of the pad, and the pad lifting mechanism also includes several upper lifting cylinders installed at the bottom of the material platform, with the piston rod of the upper lifting cylinder fixedly installed with an upper lifting rod.
[0015] The pad grinding and positioning fixture also includes several support plates for supporting the bottom of the pad. The upper end of the support plate is integrally formed with a support part, and the support part is provided with a limiting support groove that cooperates with the pad.
[0016] The pad grinding and positioning fixture also includes a pressure rod mechanism, which includes a pressure rod that presses down on the pad during the positioning process.
[0017] Preferably, a pair of support plates are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the material platform, with the support plate being supported between the support plates.
[0018] Preferably, the pad has four bends, and the bends are respectively limited and supported in the limiting support grooves.
[0019] Preferably, two upper-mounted cylinders are installed on the left and right sides of the material platform, respectively, with a front-to-back interval;
[0020] The pad grinding and positioning fixture includes two upper support frames for supporting the bottom of the pad, which are respectively fixed between the tops of the upper support rods on both sides.
[0021] Preferably, the pad grinding and positioning fixture further includes a control pressure rod mechanism for pressing down the pad and a stroke indicator switch mechanism for releasing the pad.
[0022] Preferably, the travel indicator switch mechanism includes a switch body, on which a switch arm is mounted;
[0023] After the pad is loaded, the pad presses down the switch arm, and the travel indicator switch mechanism instructs the grinding mechanism to grind. After grinding is completed, the pad is unloaded, the switch arm loses the contact pressure, and the switch arm resets to instruct the grinding mechanism to stop grinding.
[0024] Preferably, the top of the material platform is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped guide plate adapted to the switch arm, and the arc-shaped guide plate and the upper top frame form a switch arm guide space. During the process of the pad pressing the switch arm, the switch arm swings within the switch arm guide space.
[0025] Preferably, a switch mounting base for mounting the switch body is fixedly connected to the top position of the material platform.
[0026] Preferably, a U-shaped base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material platform.
[0027] Preferably, a U-shaped base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material platform.
[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. The tooling structure utilizes a support plate whose shape is adapted to the pad, allowing the pad to be supported and positioned using a support groove on the top of the support plate. The protrusions on both sides of the pad's bottom are positioned on the outer side of the support plate. This design ensures that the pad is adequately supported and positioned using a simple structure, and that the support plate's positioning and blocking protrusions prevent the pad from swaying due to polishing force during grinding. Furthermore, the above device allows for easy material discharge after processing. Therefore, the entire tooling is not only easy to operate and provides stable material clamping, but also facilitates convenient material discharge.
[0030] 2. The tooling disclosed in this utility model has high versatility. It can lock and position any pad structure with a planar main structure during the working process, effectively solving the technical defects of existing tooling such as complicated locking operation, difficult unlocking, and poor tooling versatility.

[0041] Example 1
[0042] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pad grinding and positioning fixture includes a pad loading fixture, which includes a material platform 3. The bottom of the material platform 3 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped base, which is fixedly installed on a workbench in the existing manner via the U-shaped base.
[0043] In order to facilitate the support of pad 1 during the processing and locking process, and to facilitate the lifting of pad 1 for material discharge after processing, thereby increasing processing efficiency.
[0044] The material platform 3 is equipped with a pad-mounting mechanism on its left and right sides respectively.
[0045] The specific structure of the top mechanism on the pad is as follows:
[0046] The pad plate lifting mechanism includes an upper lifting frame 531 for lifting the bottom of the pad plate. The pad plate lifting mechanism also includes several upper lifting cylinders 51 installed at the bottom of the material platform 3. The piston rod 52 of the upper lifting cylinder 51 is fixedly installed with an upper lifting rod 53.
[0047] Specifically, two upper-mounted cylinders 51, spaced apart front to back, are installed on the left and right sides of the material platform 3 (the cylinder barrels are fixedly installed at the bottom of the material platform 3, and the piston rods are slidably connected to the material platform 3); the pad grinding and positioning fixture includes two upper-mounted frames 531 for supporting the bottom of the pad 1, and the upper-mounted frames 531 are respectively fixed between the tops of the upper-mounted rods 53 on both sides. That is, the upper-mounted frames 531 on the left and right sides are parallel to each other. The upper-mounted frames 531 are rod-shaped and are fixed to the top of the upper-mounted rods 53 by welding.
[0048] Meanwhile, in order to support the four corners of the pad, the above-mentioned pad grinding and positioning fixture also includes four support plates 4 for supporting the bottom of the pad 1 (specifically, a pair of support plates 4 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the material table 3, with a front-to-back interval, and the pad 1 is supported between the support plates 4).
[0049] The upper end of the aforementioned support plate 4 is integrally formed with a support part 41, and the support part 41 is provided with a limiting support groove 411 that cooperates with the pad plate 1; when the pad plate 1 is supported on the support part 41, the corner position of the pad plate 1 is limited in the limiting support groove 411 and blocked at the edge of the groove.
[0050] The aforementioned pad grinding and positioning fixture also includes a pressure rod mechanism, which includes a pressure rod 2. During the positioning process, the pressure rod 2 presses down on the pad 1. Specifically, similar to existing blank pressing methods, the pressure rod 2 is mounted on a drive structure such as a cylinder. During operation, the pressure rod 2 is driven down by the cylinder drive structure until it touches the pad.
[0051] Grinding pad 1 according to the existing grinding method, after the grinding is completed, the pressure rod 2 is raised and the pad 1 is released. At this time, the upper lifting cylinder 51 lifts the upper lifting frame 531 to realize the working process, and the processed pad 1 is lifted to disengage from the limit support groove 411 to achieve rapid unloading.
[0052] In the above structure, the support plate 1 is supported and limited by the limiting support groove 411 opened on the top of the support plate 4, which is adapted to the shape of the pad 1. The bosses 11 on both sides of the bottom of the pad 1 are limited to the outside of the support plate 4. In this way, the working process is realized. First, the simple structure fully supports and limits the pad 1. Second, the support plate 4 limits and blocks the bosses 11, avoiding the pad from swaying left and right due to the polishing force during the grinding process. At the same time, the above device allows for material discharge after processing. Therefore, the entire tooling is not only easy to operate, but also provides stable material pressing and convenient material discharge.
[0053] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned tooling is highly versatile, and can be locked and positioned as long as the main structure of the pad is planar, effectively solving the technical defects of existing tooling such as complex locking operation, difficult unlocking, and poor tooling versatility.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is based on the structure of embodiment 1, and is similar to the existing method of pressing down or lifting the control lever 2. According to the existing method, the above-mentioned pad grinding positioning fixture also includes a stroke indicator switch mechanism 7 for controlling the grinding operation of the grinding equipment. The stroke indicator switch mechanism 7 is a conventional stroke indicator switch mechanism 7 disclosed in the prior art, and its main structure includes a switch body, on which a switch arm is installed.
[0056] Similar to the existing travel indicator switch in structure and working principle, during operation, after the pad 1 is loaded, the pad 1 presses down the switch arm, and the travel indicator switch mechanism 7 instructs the grinding mechanism to grind (specifically, under normal circumstances, the switch arm is in position one, but when the pad is loaded, the pad presses down and the switch arm switches from position one to position two. At this time, as in the existing method, the infrared sensor on the machine tool senses the travel indicator switch mechanism 7, and then the grinding equipment works). After grinding is completed, after the pad 1 is lifted and the material is removed, the switch arm loses the contact pressure, and the switch arm (similar to the existing travel indicator switch structure, the switch arm is reset by the spring installed on the switch. Specifically, during the process of pressing down the switch arm, the spring is stretched, and after losing the contact pressure of the pad 1, as in the existing travel switch, the switch arm automatically resets after losing the contact pressure. After reset, the infrared sensor can no longer sense the travel indicator switch mechanism 7 where the external device 2 is located. At this time, the grinding mechanism is instructed to stop grinding.
[0057] Meanwhile, the top of the aforementioned material platform 3 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped guide plate 6 that is adapted to the switch arm. The arc-shaped guide plate 6 and the upper top frame 531 form a switch arm guide space. During the switch arm switching process (from position one to position two), the switch arm swings within the switch arm guide space.
[0058] Meanwhile, a switch mounting base 71 for mounting the switch body is fixedly connected to the top of the material platform 3.
[0059] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
