Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milling machine tooling and fixture technology, and more specifically, to a tooling and fixture for horizontal milling machine processing. Background Technology

[0002] A horizontal milling machine is a type of machine tool in which the spindle is parallel to the worktable and is in a horizontal position. Its main features include convenient operation, reliable performance, and the ability to process various planes, inclined surfaces, grooves, etc. with various milling cutters. The processing range can be expanded by adding machine tool accessories such as universal milling heads, indexing heads, and circular worktables. Before processing parts, the parts need to be clamped and fixed with fixtures to ensure the stability of the parts during processing.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have found that the existing tooling fixtures have a relatively simple fixing method, which is generally adjusted by rotating the clamps with threads. During operation, the clamps are prone to shaking or even falling off the milling machine, resulting in low stability and consequently low work efficiency and machining accuracy. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have studied and improved the existing structure to provide a tooling fixture for horizontal milling machine machining, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tooling fixture for horizontal milling machine processing. This solution is equipped with a bidirectional adjustable clamping component, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can quickly clamp and fix the workpiece. At the same time, the adjustable component is set at an inclination, which reduces the penetration of machining debris and facilitates subsequent cleaning. In addition, a positioning component is set, which can adjust the clamping distance according to the size of the workpiece, thus expanding the application range of the clamping fixture.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A tooling fixture for horizontal milling machine processing includes a support plate, a drive motor fixedly connected to one end of the support plate, and a pair of clamping plates slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate. Sliding plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the clamping plates. An adjustment groove is centrally located inside the support plate, and a pair of side grooves are located on both sides of the inside of the support plate. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a pair of ball bearing sliders are sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw. Support rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the ball bearing sliders, and a support block is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod. A positioning mechanism is provided on one side of the support block.

[0009] The positioning mechanism includes a connecting rod, with a pull ring fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod and a positioning rod fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod. A return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the lead screw is located inside the adjustment groove, and the lead screw is movably connected to the adjustment groove.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the support rod on the outer side passes through the adjustment groove, and the support rod is slidably connected to the adjustment groove, which is inclined.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the lead screw is provided with two rotating threads of the same length but opposite direction, and the two rotating threads are respectively adapted to two ball sliders.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting rod is slidably connected to the support block in a vertical direction, the sliding plate passes through the support block, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the support block in a horizontal direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the sliding plate has several positioning grooves inside, and the positioning rod is engaged with the positioning groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the return spring are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support block and the connecting rod, respectively.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) This solution uses the rotation of the lead screw, which, in conjunction with the two rotating threads, causes the two ball sliders to drive the two pairs of support rods to move synchronously in opposite directions. This allows the two clamping plates to cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the workpiece. At the same time, the support rods, in conjunction with the adjustment groove, protect the lead screw. Compared with the prior art, the bidirectional adjustment clamping component is simple in structure and easy to operate. It can quickly clamp and fix the workpiece. In addition, the adjustment component is set at an angle, which reduces the penetration of machining debris and facilitates subsequent cleaning.

[0019] (2) By setting up a positioning mechanism, pull the pull ring upward to separate the positioning rod from the sliding plate. Then, adjust the connection position between the clamping plate and the support block through the sliding plate. Then, release the pull ring. Under the action of the return spring, the connecting rod and the positioning rod are reset. The positioning rod is re-engaged with the sliding plate, and the position of the clamping plate is fixed, thus completing the adjustment of the clamping distance. Compared with the prior art, setting up a positioning component allows for the adjustment and positioning of the clamping distance according to the size of the workpiece, thus expanding the application range of the clamping fixture.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 A tooling fixture for horizontal milling machine processing includes a support plate 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 1, a pair of clamping plates 3 slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate 1, sliding plates 4 fixedly connected to both ends of the clamping plates 3, an adjustment groove 5 centrally opened inside the support plate 1, and a pair of side grooves 6 opened on both sides of the inside of the support plate 1, a lead screw 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, a pair of ball sliders 8 sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 7, support rods 9 fixedly connected to both sides of the ball sliders 8, a support block 15 fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 9, and a positioning mechanism 10 provided on one side of the support block 15;

[0028] The positioning mechanism 10 includes a connecting rod 11, a pull ring 12 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod 11, and a positioning rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 11. A return spring 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the connecting rod 11. The positioning mechanism 10 is provided to facilitate the adjustment of the spacing of the clamps.

[0029] See Figure 2 The lead screw 7 is located inside the adjustment groove 5 and is movably connected to the adjustment groove 5. When the drive motor 2 is started, the lead screw 7 is driven to rotate.

[0030] See Figure 2One end of the support rod 9 passes through the adjustment groove 5 on the outer side, and the support rod 9 and the adjustment groove 5 are slidably connected. The adjustment groove 5 is set at an angle. By cooperating with the adjustment groove 5, the debris generated during processing is prevented from entering the support plate 1 and affecting the lead screw 7.

[0031] See Figure 3 The outer surface of the lead screw 7 is provided with two rotating threads of the same length but opposite direction. The two rotating threads are respectively matched with two ball sliders 8. The rotation of the lead screw 7, in conjunction with the two rotating threads, causes the two ball sliders 8 to drive the two pairs of support rods 9 to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby causing the two clamping plates 3 to cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the workpiece.

[0032] See Figure 4 The connecting rod 11 is slidably connected to the support block 15 in a vertical direction. The sliding plate 4 passes through the support block 15 and is slidably connected to the support block 15 in a horizontal direction. The connection position between the clamping plate 3 and the support block 15 is adjusted by the sliding plate 4.

[0033] See Figure 4 The sliding plate 4 has several positioning grooves inside, and the positioning rod 13 is engaged with the positioning groove. The positioning rod 13 cooperates with the positioning groove to fix the position of the sliding plate 4.

[0034] See Figure 4 The two ends of the return spring 14 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support block 15 and the connecting rod 11, respectively. Pulling the pull ring 12 upwards separates the positioning rod 13 from the sliding plate 4. Then, the pull ring 12 is released, and the connecting rod 11 and the positioning rod 13 are reset under the action of the return spring 14.

[0035] In use: Place the workpiece on the support plate 1, start the drive motor 2, and drive the lead screw 7 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 7, in conjunction with the two rotating threads, causes the two ball sliders 8 to drive the two pairs of support rods 9 to move synchronously in opposite directions. This causes the two clamping plates 3 to cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the workpiece. The support rods 9, in conjunction with the adjusting groove 5, prevent the processing debris from entering the support plate 1 and affecting the lead screw 7. Then, the workpiece can be processed by a milling machine. Depending on the specifications of the workpiece, the pull ring 12 can be pulled upward to separate the positioning rod 13 from the sliding plate 4. Then, the connection position between the clamping plate 3 and the support block 15 can be adjusted by the sliding plate 4. Then, the pull ring 12 can be released. Under the action of the return spring 14, the connecting rod 11 and the positioning rod 13 will reset, and the positioning rod 13 will re-engage with the sliding plate 4. The position of the clamping plate 3 will then be fixed, completing the adjustment of the clamping distance.
