Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling technology in machining, and in particular to a drilling fixture for a transmission shaft flange fork. Background Technology

[0002] One of the components of an automotive driveshaft assembly is the flange fork (also known as a flange yoke). During machining, the flange fork requires drilling holes in the flange, and positioning and clamping of the flange fork must be completed before drilling. Existing patent CN 113953561 A discloses a positioning and clamping device including a base, a drilling template, a positioning block assembly, and a locking mechanism. The base includes a pedestal and a pair of supports erected on the pedestal, with the supports facing each other and spaced apart. When using this device, a manual handle is required to move the locking components and push the V-block upwards, thereby clamping the workpiece between the V-block and the drilling template. This device uses manual clamping, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and poses safety hazards. Furthermore, when clamping the workpiece, the outer peripheral wall of the eccentric wheel, which is farther from the center, abuts against the bottom of the V-block. However, the radial force generated during drilling can cause vibration, easily causing the eccentric wheel to rotate around its axis, leading to self-locking failure, affecting drilling quality, and even resulting in scrap.
