Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tooling and fixture technology, and specifically relates to a multi-station fixture for processing brake calipers. Background Technology

[0002] Brake calipers are clamp-like devices that slow down, stop, or keep a moving wheel stationary. They are generally used in disc brake systems. Brake calipers are attached to the front and rear of the brake disc. There are one or more pistons in a car brake caliper. When braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the pistons in the brake caliper, pressing the brake pads against the brake disc to produce a braking effect.

[0003] During the production of brake calipers, the position of the brake calipers needs to be fixed by a fixture to facilitate the processing of the brake caliper surface. However, most fixing fixtures use two clamps to clamp the surface of the brake caliper, which may affect the processing of the brake caliper surface.

[0004] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN217668054U) that provides a fixture for machining automotive brake caliper blanks, comprising: a base plate, a clamping assembly, a first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate; the clamping assembly is disposed on the base plate and clamps the workpiece to be machined, and there are four clamping assemblies, two of which are disposed on the top surface of the base plate and two of which are disposed on the bottom surface of the base plate; both ends of the base plate are connected to the cantilever of a horizontal axis turntable via the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, respectively;

[0005] The aforementioned prior art, by setting a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate at both ends of the base plate and mounting them to the horizontal axis rotary table, enables the base plate to be flipped, facilitating simultaneous machining by the dual spindles of a horizontal machining center and simplifying clamping. By setting four clamping components on the base plate to clamp the workpieces, four workpieces can be clamped at a time, improving machining efficiency.

[0006] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 A prior art brake caliper 1 includes a connecting cylinder 11, a fixing plate 12, and a connecting plate 13. The connecting cylinder 11 and the fixing plate 12 are connected by the connecting plate 13. A mounting groove 10 for placing a brake disc is formed between the connecting cylinder 11, the fixing plate 12, and the connecting plate 13. Two symmetrical ear plates 14 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 11, and a through positioning hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 10. In addition, a positioning groove 17 is provided at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 11, and two positioning slots 16 are provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 13. The aforementioned brake caliper 1 requires machining of the front end faces of the connecting cylinder 11 and the ear plates 14, and also requires machining of the bottom surface of the mounting groove 10. Therefore, both sides of the brake caliper 1 need to be machined.

[0007] The existing technology for processing the aforementioned brake calipers has the following drawback: it can only process one end face of the brake caliper. If it is necessary to process the other end faces of the caliper, other clamps are required, which makes the processing steps more complicated. Therefore, it is urgent to improve this shortcoming.

[0020] Furthermore, the four-axis rotary table drives the fixed frame to rotate, which enables the machining of the connecting cylinder and the front face of the lug of the brake caliper, as well as the machining of the bottom face of the mounting groove on the brake caliper. This eliminates the need to change fixtures, making the machining more convenient and efficient. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figure 3 - Figure 9As shown, a multi-station fixture for machining brake calipers includes a worktable 2, on which a four-axis rotary table 21 and a tailstock 22 are mounted. The four-axis rotary table 21 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A drive shaft is driven onto the four-axis rotary table 21, and a fixing frame 23 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft. A connecting shaft 321 is mounted at the other end of the fixing frame 23. The connecting shaft 321 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft and rotatably mounted within the tailstock 22. A clamping device for holding brake calipers 1 is mounted on the fixing frame 23. The clamping device includes a first clamping mechanism 3, a second clamping mechanism 4, and a third clamping mechanism 5. A first support member 7 and a second support member 8 are mounted on the fixing frame 23. 01, the first support member 7 is used to support the bottom of the ear plate 14, the second support member 801 is used to support the bottom of the fixing plate 12, the first clamping mechanism 3 is used to abut against the upper end of the ear plate 14, the first clamping mechanism 3 cooperates with the first support member 7 to clamp the ear plate 14 of the brake caliper 1, the second clamping mechanism 4 and the third clamping mechanism 5 are used to abut against the upper end of the connecting plate 13, the second clamping mechanism 4, the third clamping mechanism 5 and the second support member 801 cooperate to clamp the connecting plate 13 of the brake caliper 1, and the movement of the brake caliper 1 on the Z-axis is restricted by the cooperation of the first clamping mechanism 3, the second clamping mechanism 4, the third clamping mechanism 5, the first support member 7 and the second support member 801.

[0033] The fixing frame 23 has a fixing base 24 installed at its bottom. The first clamping mechanism 3 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 31 installed on the fixing base 24. The first hydraulic cylinder 31 drives a first push rod 32. The first push rod 32 is provided with a connecting shaft 321. A T-shaped block 33 is provided on the outside of the connecting shaft 321. The T-shaped block 33 is provided with an oblong hole 331 for the connecting shaft 321 to slide. The fixing frame 23 is provided with a connecting frame 34. The middle part of the T-shaped block 33 is hinged to the connecting frame 34. A clamping claw 35 is fixedly installed on the block 33. The clamping claw 35 includes a connecting block and two claw blocks 351. The claw blocks 351 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting block. The claw blocks 351 respectively cooperate with the corresponding ear plates 14, and a processing space is formed between the two claw blocks 351 for processing the front end face of the connecting cylinder 11. The claw blocks 351 have an abutment groove 352, which abuts against the upper end face of the ear plate 14. It should be noted that the connecting block and the claw blocks 351 are integrally formed.

[0034] Specifically, the first hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the clamping claw 35 to swing back and forth in a first position and a second position. When the clamping claw 35 is in the first position, the abutting groove 352 abuts against the upper end surface of the ear plate 14; when the clamping claw 35 is in the second position, the abutting groove 352 disengages from the upper end surface of the ear plate 14.

[0035] The upper surface of the fixing frame 23 is provided with a connecting seat 40, and the second clamping mechanism 4 and the third clamping mechanism 5 are both disposed on the connecting seat 40.

[0036] The second clamping mechanism 4 includes a first rotary cylinder 41, on which a first pawl 42 is mounted. The first pawl 42 has a protruding first abutment block 43, which is used to abut against the upper end of the connecting plate 13. The first rotary cylinder 41 drives the first pawl 42 to swing back and forth between a third position and a fourth position. When the first pawl 42 is in the third position, the first pawl 42 abuts against the connecting plate 13. When the first pawl 42 is in the fourth position, the first pawl 42 disengages from the connecting plate 13.

[0037] The third clamping mechanism 5 includes a second rotary cylinder 51, on which a second pawl 52 is mounted. The second pawl 52 has a protruding second abutment block 53, which is used to abut against the upper end of the connecting plate 13. The second rotary cylinder 51 drives the second pawl 52 to swing back and forth between the fifth and sixth positions. When the second pawl 52 is in the fifth position, the second pawl 52 abuts against the connecting plate 13. When the second pawl 52 is in the sixth position, the second pawl 52 disengages from the connecting plate 13.

[0038] It should be noted that the first rotating cylinder 41 and the second rotating cylinder 51 will move axially while rotating, thus ensuring that the first abutting block 43 and the second abutting block 53 can abut against the fixing plate 12 of the brake caliper 1 after rotation.

[0039] The first support member 7 includes two second hydraulic cylinders 71, each of which is provided with an abutment shaft 72. The abutment shaft 72 abuts against the bottom of the brake caliper 1, and the two abutment shafts 72 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the position of the claw block 351.

[0040] The second support member 801 includes two fixing blocks 81, each of which is provided with a shaft 82. The two shafts 82 are respectively inserted into the two positioning slots 16 on the brake caliper 1.

[0041] The fixing frame 23 is equipped with a first positioning component 9, which includes a connecting platform 91. The connecting platform 91 is provided with a positioning block 92 that cooperates with the positioning hole 15. The positioning block 92 is inserted into and positioned in the positioning hole 15.

[0042] The fixing frame 23 is also provided with a second positioning component 802. The second positioning component 802 includes a mounting block 83 and a positioning post 84 that cooperates with the positioning groove 17 at the upper end of the mounting block 83. When the brake caliper 1 is clamped, the positioning post 84 is inserted into the positioning groove 17.

[0043] The movement of the brake caliper 1 in the X and Y axes is restricted by the insertion and engagement of the insert shaft 82 with the positioning slot 16, the engagement between the positioning block 92 and the positioning hole 15, and the engagement between the positioning post 84 and the positioning groove 17.

[0044] A third positioning component 6 is installed on the fixing frame 23. The third positioning component 6 includes a first mounting base 61 and a second mounting base 62. The first mounting base 61 and the second mounting base 62 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the positioning block 92. The first mounting base 61 and the second mounting base 62 are arranged along the X-axis. A first top shaft 63 is installed in the first mounting base 61, and a third hydraulic cylinder 64 is installed in the second mounting base 62. A second top shaft 65 is driven to be installed on the third hydraulic cylinder 64. The first top shaft 63 abuts against the side wall of the connecting plate 13, and the second top shaft 65 is used to abut against the other side wall of the connecting plate 13. When the first top shaft 63 and the second top shaft 65 abut against the connecting plate 13, the movement of the brake caliper 1 in the X-axis direction is restricted.

[0045] When installing the brake caliper 1: First, align the positioning hole 15 of the brake caliper 1 with the positioning block 92 on the mounting bracket 23. Then, through the insertion and engagement of the insert shaft 82 with the positioning slot 16, the engagement between the positioning block 92 and the positioning hole 15, and the engagement between the positioning pin 84 and the positioning groove 17, the brake caliper 1 is positioned. Next, by activating the first hydraulic cylinder 31, the first hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the first push rod 32 to move, thereby causing the T-shaped block 33 to swing, which in turn causes the clamping claw 35 to swing from the second position to the first position. This causes the abutment groove 352 on the claw block 351 to abut against the corresponding ear plate 14. Then, by activating the first rotary cylinder 41 and the second rotary cylinder 51, the first pawl 42 moves from the fourth position to the third position, and the second pawl 52 moves from the sixth position to the fifth position, thereby causing the first abutment block 43 on the first pawl 42 and the second abutment block 53 on the second pawl 52 to abut against the upper end of the connecting plate 13. The system first engages the brake caliper 1 by activating the second cylinder 71, which in turn engages the abutment shaft 72 with the bottom of the brake caliper 1. Then, by activating the third cylinder 64, the second top shaft 65 engages with the brake caliper 1. This engagement is achieved through the insertion of the insert shaft 82 into the positioning slot 16, the engagement between the positioning block 92 and the positioning hole 15, and the engagement between the positioning pin 84 and the positioning groove 17. This allows the brake caliper 1 to move in the X and Y axes. The engagement between the claw block 351 and the abutment shaft 72 restricts the movement of the connecting cylinder 11 in the Z axis. The engagement between the first abutment block 43 and the second abutment block 53 and the insert shaft 82 restricts the movement of the connecting plate 13 in the Z axis. The engagement between the first top shaft 63 and the second top shaft 65 and the brake caliper 1 restricts the movement of the brake caliper 1 in the X axis. Through multi-point positioning and engagement, the brake caliper 1 is fixed.

[0046] Furthermore, the four-axis rotary table 21 drives the fixed frame 23 to rotate, thereby enabling the machining of the connecting cylinder 11 and the front end face of the ear plate 14 of the brake caliper 1, as well as the machining of the bottom surface of the mounting groove 10 on the brake caliper 1. This eliminates the need to change fixtures, making the process more convenient and efficient.
