Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of end cap processing technology, specifically a special tooling fixture for end cap manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] A head is a component of a container, which is connected to the cylinder by welding. According to different geometric shapes, it can be divided into several types, such as spherical, elliptical, dished, spherical crown, conical shell, and flat cap. Among them, spherical, elliptical, dished, and spherical crown head are collectively referred to as convex head.
[0003] Currently, there are significant dimensional differences between different batches of end caps. Existing end cap tooling fixtures are not adaptable. Often, when the diameter of the end cap increases by more than 20cm, the corresponding tooling fixtures become unsuitable. This leads to the need for a large number of tooling fixtures to accommodate end caps of various sizes.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a special tooling fixture for head fabrication, which effectively supports and fixes the head, ensuring that the head does not wobble during processing. It also improves the stability of the tooling fixture in the absence of external fixation, effectively reduces the impact of external processing equipment on the head, and facilitates combination and adjustment to fit the head's dimensions.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The structures involved in this utility model are not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Example:
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a special tooling fixture for making end caps, including an end cap 1, a fixture assembly 2, and side clamps 6. The fixture assembly 2 and side clamps 6 are in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of fixture assemblies 2 and side clamps 6 are arranged along the outside of the end cap 1. The number of fixture assemblies 2 can be adjusted according to the actual size range of the end cap 1. For example, if the end cap 1 is small, three sets of fixture assemblies 2 are used to form a triangle; if the end cap 1 is medium, two sets of fixture assemblies 2 and two sets of side clamps 6 are used; if the end cap 1 is large, multiple fixture assemblies 2 and multiple side clamps 6 are used to form a polygonal support.
[0023] The clamping assembly 2 is provided with a clamping part 21 at the top. The groove of the clamping part 21 engages with the edge of the end cap 1. The clamping part 21 pushes the clamping block 22 to clamp the edge of the end cap 1 through the clamping screw 23.
[0024] The support block 31 of the support part 3 supports the end cap 1. The clamp assembly 2 has a support screw 33 through it, and the end of the support screw 33 is connected to the support block 31 through the bearing 32. The side wall of the support block 31 is curved and fits against the bottom of the end cap 1. By rotating the support screw 33, the support block 31 fits against the curved bottom surface of the end cap 1, thus effectively supporting and fixing the end cap 1.
[0025] By placing the end cap 1 between the clamping assembly 2 and the side clamp 6, the clamping screw 23 of the clamping part 21 rotates to clamp and fix the edge of the end cap 1 with the clamping block 22. Then, by rotating the support screw 33, the support block 31 fits against the bottom arc surface of the end cap 1 for support, thus effectively supporting and fixing the end cap 1 and ensuring that the end cap 1 will not shake during processing.
[0026] The clamp assembly 2 is equipped with a support part 3 in the middle, which supports the bottom arc surface of the end cap 1. The clamp assembly 2 and the side clamp 6 are connected by their outer ring 41 and fixing rod 4.
[0027] The clamp assembly 2 has a base 5 at its bottom, which increases the counterweight of the clamp assembly 2. The clamp assembly 2 has multiple sets of rings 41 for connecting the fixing rod 4, which fix the fixing rod 4.
[0028] When the size of end cap 1 is a medium size;
[0029] The number of clamping assemblies 2 and side clamps 6 is four sets, and they are arranged in a rectangular pattern in pairs. The two sets of clamping assemblies 2 are diagonally distributed. Each set of clamping assemblies 2 and the two sets of side clamps 6 are fixed in a triangle by a ring hoop 41 and a fixing rod 4. The clamping part 21 and the supporting part 3 of the clamping assembly 2 have the same structure as the clamping part 21 and the supporting part 3 of the side clamps 6.
[0030] Two clamping components 2 and two side clamps 6 are selected and arranged in pairs in a rectangular pattern. The two sets of clamping components 2 are diagonally distributed. Each set of clamping components 2 and the two sets of side clamps 6 are fixed in a triangle by a ring hoop 41 and a fixing rod 4. By placing the end cap 1 between the clamping components 2 and the side clamps 6, the clamping screw 23 of the clamping part 21 rotates to make the clamping block 22 clamp and fix the edge of the end cap 1. Then, by rotating the support screw 33, the support block 31 fits against the bottom arc surface of the end cap 1 to provide effective support and fixation for the end cap 1.
[0031] Working principle of this utility model embodiment:
[0032] Depending on the size of the end cap 1, different numbers of clamping assemblies 2 and side clamps 6 are combined.
[0033] If two clamping components 2 and two side clamps 6 are selected, and they are arranged in pairs in a rectangular distribution, with the two sets of clamping components 2 diagonally distributed, each set of clamping components 2 and the two sets of side clamps 6 are fixed in a triangular shape by a ring 41 and a fixing rod 4, and one set of clamping components 2 and the adjacent set of side clamps 6 are connected and fixed by two sets of ring 41 and fixing rod 4.
[0034] By placing the end cap 1 between the clamping assembly 2 and the side clamp 6, and by rotating the clamping screw 23 of the clamping part 21, the clamping block 22 clamps and fixes the edge of the end cap 1. Then, by rotating the support screw 33, the support block 31 fits against the bottom arc surface of the end cap 1, thus effectively supporting and fixing the end cap 1.
