[0024] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: This fixture adopts a hydraulic design, with a maximum hydraulic design pressure of 100 bar and an operating pressure of 50-70 bar. One hole Φ53 and surface of the bearing part are used as a positioning reference, and another hole Φ32 is used for angular positioning. The positioning hole Φ53 and the angular hole Φ32 are positioned using a hydraulic expansion mandrel and a diamond-shaped positioning pin. The bearing part is placed on the fixture, the hydraulic power source is connected, the hydraulic mandrel first tensions the part, pulls down the hydraulic cylinder, and presses the bearing; after the bearing is machined, the hydraulic lines are depressurized, and the bearing part can be removed.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bearing part is composed of multiple assembly holes and fork lugs. It has high requirements for dimensional accuracy, surface quality and spatial form and position tolerance. Its hole diameter Φ53 is the positioning hole of the hydraulic tooling, and the Φ32 hole at the position of the fork lug is the angular hole for positioning of the hydraulic tooling.

[0029] The pressure block 7 is a cylinder with a diameter of Φ80. It has a rectangular groove in the middle through which the pressure rod assembly 9 passes. There is a cylindrical pin 12 on it, which is used to limit the pressure rod assembly 9.

[0030] The fixture body 11 is a box with a height of 140mm, which raises the installation height of the shaft seat parts, making it easier to process and preventing the machine tool spindle from colliding with the tooling. At the same time, the intermediate cavity can be used to arrange the sequence valve 5 and the pressure regulating valve 6. The upper surface of the fixture body 11 is fixed with screws to the hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 and the diamond-shaped locating pin 10.

[0031] The base 1 is connected to the clamping body 11 by screws. The clamping body 11 is equipped with a pressure rod assembly 9. The pressure rod assembly 9 is equipped with a hydraulic pressure block 7, a hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 and a diamond-shaped positioning pin 10. The hydraulic pressure block 7 is connected to the pressure rod assembly 9. The hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 passes through the positioning hole Φ53 of the bearing part. The diamond-shaped positioning pin 10 is located in the angular hole Φ32. After pressurization, the hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 first tightens the bearing part, and then the pressure rod assembly 9 drives the hydraulic pressure block 7 to press the bearing part, thereby realizing the clamping of the bearing part.

[0032] Furthermore, the hydraulic gauge 3 in the shaft bearing hydraulic tooling fixture monitors the system pressure value.

[0033] Furthermore, the accumulator 4 in the hydraulic tooling fixture of the shaft seat compensates for leakage in the hydraulic system to maintain stable system pressure.

[0034] Furthermore, in the hydraulic tooling fixture, the sequence valve 5 controls the action sequence of the hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 and the pressure rod assembly 9, ensuring that the hydraulic expansion mandrel expands and tightens the parts first, and then the pressure rod assembly pulls down to fix the hydraulic pressure block 7.

[0035] Furthermore, the pressure regulating valve 6 in the shaft seat hydraulic tooling fixture is connected to the external hydraulic pipeline to reduce the inlet pressure to the required outlet pressure.

[0036] Furthermore, the hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 in the shaft seat hydraulic tooling fixture can realize the functions of contraction and expansion, thereby fixing the shaft seat parts.

[0037] Furthermore, in the hydraulic tooling fixture for the shaft seat, the pressure rod assembly 9, under the action of hydraulic pressure, pulls the rod downward, causing the pressure cover to press down, thereby realizing the function of pressing the hydraulic pressure block 7.

[0038] Furthermore, the diamond-shaped locating pin 10 in the hydraulic tooling fixture for the shaft seat is confined within the Φ32 hole of the shaft seat, thereby achieving angular positioning and also providing auxiliary support.

[0039] In summary, the present invention provides a hydraulic tooling fixture for a shaft seat, the positive effects of which are:

[0040] 1. Reliable clamping: Controlling the clamping force makes the deformation of the parts more stable during clamping, ensuring the behavioral tolerance of the parts after machining.

[0041] 2. After positioning, the clamping block can automatically clamp, greatly reducing the operator's operation steps and improving the efficiency of parts clamping.

[0042] 3. Precise positioning ensures a smooth machining process. Quantified indicators guarantee the stability of part quality.

[0043] Example 2

[0045] Step 1: Install the hydraulic fixture for the shaft seat on the machining platform of the horizontal five-axis CNC machine tool.

[0046] Step 2: With the hydraulic fixture in a de-hydraulic state, place the shaft seat part on the jig, ensuring that the bottom surface of the shaft seat part is tightly fitted with the fixture mounting surface. The hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 passes through the Φ53 hole. The diamond-shaped locating pin 10 engages with the Φ32 hole in the shaft seat part to achieve angular positioning of the part. Finally, place the hydraulic pressure block 7 on top and rotate it 90°.

[0047] Step 3: Connect the hydraulic power source and observe the hydraulic pressure gauge 3 to reach 55 Bar. Control the clamping force by adjusting the sequence valve 5 and the regulating valve 6. The accumulator 4 maintains stable pressure. The hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 first tightens the shaft seat parts, and the pressure rod assembly 9 drives the hydraulic pressure block 7 to press the shaft seat parts.

[0048] Step 4: Begin machining the bearing seat part. After machining, depressurize the hydraulic lines, and the hydraulic expansion mandrel 8 will loosen the bearing seat part. The pressure rod assembly 9 will then drive the hydraulic pressure block 7 to loosen the bearing seat part. Remove the bearing seat part.

[0049] In summary, the present invention provides a hydraulic tooling fixture for a shaft seat, which adopts a positioning method of two pins on one side. After positioning, the hydraulic pressure block can automatically clamp, which greatly reduces the operator's operation steps, improves the part clamping efficiency, better controls the clamping force, and reduces the deformation of the part during clamping.
