[0029] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 5 A multi-angle adjustable milling cutter fixture for machining automobile crankshafts includes a base 3, an adjustment mechanism 1 on the top of the base 3, and a clamping mechanism 2 on the top of the adjustment mechanism 1.

[0032] The adjustment mechanism 1 includes a horizontal flipping component 11, a vertical flipping component 12, a reset component 13, and a positioning component 14. The horizontal flipping component 11 is located on the top of the base 3, the vertical flipping component 12 is located on the top of the horizontal flipping component 11, the reset component 13 is located on the left side of the vertical flipping component 12, and the positioning component 14 is located on the top of the reset component 13.

[0033] The lateral tilting assembly 11 includes a support rod 1101, which is fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the base 3. A connecting block 1102 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support rod 1101, and an arc-shaped slide rail 1103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 1102. An inertial slide rail 1104 is slidably connected to the outer ring of the arc-shaped slide rail 1103. The longitudinal tilting assembly 12 includes a boss 1201, which is fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the inertial slide rail 1104. A retaining shaft 1202 is rotatably connected to the top of the boss 1201, and a worktable 1203 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the retaining shaft 1202. The reset assembly 13 includes a fixing box 1301, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the boss 1201. Inside the fixed box 1301, a slide cylinder 1302 is slidably connected. A compression spring 1303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide cylinder 1302. A movable slide rod 1304 is fixedly connected to the left side of the slide cylinder 1302. The movable slide rod 1304 is slidably connected to the left side of the fixed box 1301. A pull rod 1305 is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable slide rod 1304. The positioning component 14 includes a locking block 1401. The locking block 1401 is located on the left side of the worktable 1203. The locking block 1401 is fixedly connected to the left side of the locking shaft 1202. A turntable 1402 is fixedly connected to the left side of the locking block 1401. A torsion piece 1403 is locked inside the outer ring of the locking block 1401. The torsion piece 1403 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide cylinder 1302.

[0034] Furthermore, the operator can adjust the horizontal rotation of the worktable 1203 by sliding the inertial slide rail 1104 along the outer ring of the arc-shaped slide rail 1103. The friction generated by the large-area contact between the inertial slide rail 1104 and the arc-shaped slide rail 1103 keeps the inertial slide rail 1104 stable during movement. The operator only needs to push the lever 1305 downward and then turn the turntable 1402 to complete the vertical rotation of the worktable 1203. This allows the operator to adjust the tilt angle of the worktable 1203 as needed, increasing the applicability of the device and making it simple and convenient for operators to use.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a driving component 21, a transmission component 22, and a clamping component 23. The driving component 21 is disposed at the bottom of the longitudinal flipping component 12, the transmission component 22 is disposed at the outer ring of the driving component 21, and the clamping component 23 is disposed at the top of the transmission component 22.

[0037] Drive assembly 21 includes a drive motor 2101, which is located below the worktable 1203. A fixed arm 2102 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the drive motor 2101, and the fixed arm 2102 is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1203. A rotating shaft 2103 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive motor 2101 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the worktable 1203. A bevel gear 2104 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating shaft 2103. Transmission assembly 22 includes a second bevel gear 2201, which meshes with the outer ring of the first bevel gear 2104. A threaded shaft 2202 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second bevel gear 2201, and the outer ring of the threaded shaft 2202 is located outside the second bevel gear 2201 and rotates. A first support rotating frame 2203 is connected to the bottom of the worktable 1203. A second support rotating frame 2204 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the threaded rotating shaft 2202. The second support rotating frame 2204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 1203. The clamping assembly 23 includes a threaded cylinder 2301, which is threadedly connected to the outer ring of the threaded rotating shaft 2202. A second movable slide rod 2302 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 2301. The second movable slide rod 2302 is slidably connected inside the worktable 1203. A limit piece 2303 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the second movable slide rod 2302. The limit piece 2303 is slidably connected to the top of the worktable 1203. A clamping cylinder 2304 is rotatably connected to the outer ring of the second movable slide rod 2302.

[0038] Furthermore, the operator only needs to start the drive motor 2101 to drive the multiple clamping cylinders 2304 to move inward or outward simultaneously, so that the device can quickly complete the clamping and fixing of the milling cutter during use. At the same time, the clamping cylinders 2304 are arranged in a triangular arrangement at equal intervals, so that the device can fix different types of milling cutters during use. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use.

[0039] In actual operation, when this device is used and it is necessary to fix the milling cutter, the operator first places the milling cutter in the middle of the top of the worktable 1203. Then, the operator starts the drive motor 2101. The start of the drive motor 2101 drives the first bevel gear 2104 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2103. The rotation of the first bevel gear 2104 drives the threaded shaft 2202 to rotate through the second bevel gear 2201. The rotation of the threaded shaft 2202 drives a plurality of threaded cylinders 2301 to move inward synchronously. The inward movement of the threaded cylinders 2301 drives the clamping cylinders 2304 to move inward through the second sliding rod 2302. The plurality of clamping cylinders 2304 move inward synchronously and contact the outer ring of the milling cutter to complete the fixing of the milling cutter. At this time, the installation of the milling cutter is completed.

[0040] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the fixed milling cutter, the operator only needs to slide the inertial slide rail 1104 on the outer ring of the arc slide rail 1103 to flip the milling cutter on the top of the worktable 1203 left and right to complete the lateral angle adjustment of the milling cutter.

[0041] When the milling cutter needs to be longitudinally rotated for angle adjustment, the operator first moves the pull rod 1305 downward. The downward movement of the pull rod 1305 drives the torsion plate 1403 downward through the sliding rod 1304 and the sliding cylinder 1302. The torsion plate 1403 moves downward and retracts into the fixed box 1301, disengaging from the locking block 1401. Then, the operator rotates the turntable 1402. The rotation of the turntable 1402 drives the locking block 1401 to rotate. The rotation of the locking block 1401 drives the worktable 1203 to rotate through the locking shaft 1202. After the worktable 1203 is rotated to the appropriate angle, the limit on the pull rod 1305 is released. At this time, the sliding cylinder 1302 drives the torsion plate 1403 to move upward under the action of the compression spring 1303. The torsion plate 1403 moves upward and engages in the outer ring of the locking block 1401. This completes the positioning of the worktable 1203 and the longitudinal rotation adjustment of the worktable 1203.

[0042] 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.
