Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fixture tooling, in particular to a crankcase body jointing machining fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the processing of the motorcycle engine case body as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The cylinder body joint surface 8 of the case body cannot be perpendicular to the processing tool when the cylinder body joint surface 8 is processed if the case body is directly fixed on the fixture with the joint cover surface 83 downward.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the inventor designs a fixture for oblique fixing of the engine case body, which compensates for the included angle of the engine case body through the oblique angle of the fixture, so that the cylinder body joint surface 8 of the engine case body can be perpendicular to the processing tool after the engine case body is obliquely fixed on the fixture for processing.

[0004] Because the product adopts an upper and lower case jointing structure, the positioning reference surface is the jointing surface 84, that is, the interface position of the upper and lower case jointing. Therefore, in the positioning process, the lower case body 86 needs to be accurately dropped into the positioning members to ensure accurate cooperation of the positioning members with the jointing surface 84 and complete positioning. This positioning method puts forward very high requirements on the feeding accuracy, and the product must be dropped into the positioning members without deviation, thereby increasing the complexity and difficulty of the feeding operation and reducing the clamping efficiency. In addition, the product is easy to collide with the positioning members during the dropping process, thereby increasing the risk of paint surface damage. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model intends to provide a crankcase body jointing machining fixture to align the product, so that the cylinder body joint surface of the product is perpendicular to the tool for convenient processing and solving the problems of great feeding difficulty and great risk of paint surface damage in the processing process.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] The crankcase body jointing machining fixture comprises a fixture body, the fixture body comprises an inclined main plate and a supporting plate parallel to the main plate, a plurality of clamping members are arranged on the main plate, the supporting plate is arranged between the plurality of clamping members and can be lifted in the direction perpendicular to the main plate, a lifting driving member for driving the supporting plate to lift is arranged on the main plate, a guide mechanism is connected between the supporting plate and the main plate, and a positioning mechanism is arranged on the supporting plate.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the clamping member comprises a supporting seat, a clamping cylinder and a supporting block are arranged on the supporting seat, and the supporting block is used for supporting below the edge of the workpiece to cooperate with the clamping cylinder to clamp the workpiece.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the main plate is further provided with a positioning seat, the positioning seat is provided with a positioning rod, and the supporting seat is also provided with a positioning rod.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the supporting block is provided with an airtight detection hole, and the airtight detection hole is in communication with an airtight detection mechanism of the machine tool.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the supporting seat is three and is distributed in a triangular shape.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the positioning rod on the positioning seat and the positioning rod on the supporting seat are oppositely arranged.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the positioning mechanism comprises a positioning pin, an equal-height block and a limiting block, the limiting block is used for inserting into the inner contour of the workpiece to limit the workpiece, and the height difference between the limiting block and the equal-height block is 40-50mm.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the guiding mechanism comprises a guiding rod, the guiding rod is vertically arranged in the supporting plate, the surface of the supporting plate is fixed with an anti-dropping block, the anti-dropping block is fixedly connected with the guiding rod, the main plate is provided with a guiding hole, and the guiding rod is slidingly connected in the guiding hole.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the device further comprises a quick-change base plate, the quick-change base plate is connected with the rotating center of the machine tool, the clamping body is detachably connected on the quick-change base plate, and the clamping body is fixed with a lifting ring.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the inclination angle of the main plate is 30 degrees.

[0017] The principle and beneficial effects of the scheme are as follows:

[0018] 1. According to the scheme, the main plate and the supporting plate are inclined by 30 degrees, so that the workpiece can be aligned after being clamped on the clamping body, the cylinder body joint surface is in a vertical state, and the machining tool is kept vertical, thereby facilitating accurate machining.

[0019] On this basis, the supporting plate is designed to be lifted vertically along the main plate to optimize the clamping process of the workpiece. In actual operation, first, the supporting plate is lifted to a position higher than the clamping part, and the positioning mechanism on the supporting plate is used to preliminarily position the workpiece. Then, the supporting plate is lowered, so that the workpiece is stably placed on the supporting block, and finally, firm clamping is achieved through the clamping cylinder. This design avoids the complex operation of directly placing the workpiece into the space between multiple clamping parts, reduces the risk of interference between the workpiece and the clamping part, and simplifies the workpiece positioning process. At the same time, this method effectively prevents the problem of paint damage caused by the collision between the workpiece surface and the clamping part. If the lifting supporting plate is not set, the workpiece must be accurately placed into the space surrounded by multiple clamping parts. Since the space has a certain depth, it is difficult to accurately place the workpiece, and the workpiece surface is easily damaged due to improper operation. At the same time, the main plate and the supporting plate inclined at an angle of 30 degrees also facilitate the loading of the workpiece. Compared with placing the workpiece on a positioning table with a larger inclination angle or horizontally, the worker loads more easily.

[0020] In summary, the design of the lifting supporting plate not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of workpiece clamping, but also significantly reduces the risk of workpiece surface damage, improving the overall machining quality.

[0021] 2. The positioning pin is used to insert into the corresponding positioning hole of the workpiece, and the equal height block is used to level the surface of the workpiece in contact with the supporting plate, so that the workpiece is better positioned. The limiting block is used to insert into the inner contour of the workpiece to limit the workpiece, avoid the workpiece from sliding down, and ensure the stability of the workpiece positioning. When the height difference between the limiting block and the equal height block is between 40-50㎜, the limiting block can provide good limiting effect. If the height is less than 40㎜, the workpiece may fall and slide. If the height is greater than 50㎜, it will interfere with the contour.

[0022] 3. After the workpiece is lowered into place with the supporting plate, in addition to being clamped by several clamping cylinders, it is further positioned by inserting two positioning rods into the workpiece, which has good positioning effect. The three clamping cylinders are distributed in a triangular shape, and the two positioning rods are oppositely arranged, which can make the workpiece more balanced and stable in clamping.

[0023] 4. The air-tight detection hole provided on the supporting block can detect the air tightness of the clamping part of the workpiece through the air tightness detection mechanism of the machine tool, to judge whether the workpiece is clamped in place, and to ensure the accuracy of the workpiece clamping.

[0024] 5. When the supporting plate is lifted, it is guided by the guide rod, which can ensure that the workpiece is accurately placed between the clamping cylinders, so that the workpiece is accurately in contact with the supporting block and the clamping cylinder, improving the clamping accuracy. The anti-disengagement block provided on the top of the supporting plate is connected with the guide rod, which can make the guide rod move with the supporting plate, avoiding the disengagement of the guide rod and the supporting plate.

[0025] 6、The scheme adopts a quick-change bottom plate connected with the machine tool rotating center, and the clamp is rotated by the machine tool rotating center to realize the processing switching between the cylinder body joint surface of the workpiece and the bearing bush hole. Specifically, after the bearing bush hole processing is completed, the clamp only needs to be rotated by 90 degrees to perform subsequent processing on the cylinder body joint surface and the cylinder hole, without the need to re-clamp the workpiece, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency. In addition, the clamp is horizontally rotated by the machine tool rotating center to switch the processing position, which ensures that the cylinder body joint surface and the bearing bush hole are on the same horizontal line, meets the strict processing requirements, saves the traditional horizontal position adjusting step, and further improves the processing convenience and precision. In order to enhance the universality of the scheme, the clamp body can be replaced as a whole in actual application to realize the quick conversion of different workpieces. This quick-change design not only simplifies the clamp replacement process, but also reduces the non-processing time, thereby improving the overall efficiency and flexibility of the production line.

[0033] In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the main plate 12 is provided with a plurality of clamping pieces 3, and the number of clamping pieces 3 in the embodiment is three and the three clamping pieces 3 are distributed in a triangular shape. The clamping piece 3 comprises a supporting seat 31, the supporting seat 31 is bolted on the main plate 12, and the supporting seat 31 is integrally formed with a supporting block 32, one side of the supporting block 32 is bolted with a clamping cylinder 33, the supporting block 32 is used to support below the edge of the workpiece to cooperate with the clamping cylinder 33 to clamp the workpiece, and the clamping cylinder 33 in the embodiment adopts a lever type oil cylinder.

A positioning seat 4 is bolted between the two clamping cylinders 33, the positioning seat 4 is integrally formed with a positioning rod 41, and the supporting seat 31 where the other clamping cylinder 33 is located is also integrally formed with a positioning rod 41. The two positioning rods 41 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the main plate 12, that is, the two positioning rods 41 are oppositely arranged.

[0034] The supporting plate 13 is arranged between the plurality of clamping pieces 3 and can be lifted in the direction perpendicular to the main plate 12. The main plate 12 is provided with a lifting driving piece 5 for driving the supporting plate 13 to lift, and the lifting driving piece 5 in the embodiment adopts an oil cylinder. The supporting plate 13 is connected with a guide mechanism 6 between the main plate 12, and the supporting plate 13 is further provided with a positioning mechanism. The guide mechanism 6 comprises a guide rod 61, the guide rod 61 is vertically connected on the supporting plate 13, the surface of the supporting plate 13 is bolted with an anti-dropping block 62, the anti-dropping block 62 is bolted and connected with the guide rod 61, the main plate 12 is provided with a guide hole, and the guide rod 61 is slidingly connected in the guide hole. The positioning mechanism comprises a positioning pin 71, four equal-height blocks 73 and four limiting blocks 72. In the embodiment, the positioning pin 71 is two, the equal-height block 73 is four, and the limiting block 72 is four. The limiting block 72 is used to be inserted into the inner contour of the workpiece to limit the workpiece, and the height difference between the limiting block 72 and the equal-height block 73 is 40-50mm, and the preferred value in the embodiment is 43mm.

[0035] In actual use, the lifting driving member 5 drives the supporting plate 13 to rise to be higher than the clamping cylinders 33, so as to avoid the interference of the clamping cylinders 33 with the workpiece. After the supporting plate 13 is raised to the position, the workpiece is placed on the supporting plate 13, the cylinder body joint surface 8 of the workpiece faces the machining tool, the cover joint surface 83 of the workpiece is located on the supporting plate 13, the cover joint surface 83 is leveled by the equal-height blocks 73 on the supporting plate 13, the positioning pin 71 is inserted into the positioning hole on the cover joint surface 83, and the limiting block 72 is inserted into the inner contour on the cover joint surface 83 to limit the workpiece, so that the workpiece is preliminarily positioned on the supporting plate 13.
