Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fixture for machining side holes of irregularly shaped parts in a four-axis machining center, belonging to the field of mechanical processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] For a certain part, due to the large distance between the two holes on its side and the hollow shape in the middle, high coaxiality and hole precision are required. Single-sided machining cannot guarantee the required accuracy, and the cutting tool is not long enough. Using an extended tool would result in insufficient tool rigidity, leading to misalignment of the machined hole axis. Furthermore, the part is an irregularly shaped and complex part, making positioning difficult. Therefore, this invention proposes a dedicated four-axis machining center fixture for machining the side holes of irregularly shaped parts. This dedicated fixture completes the machining of both sides of the part in a single positioning operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of machining extended holes at both ends of the side of irregular parts. The holes on both sides need to be coaxial. If the machining is done from one end, the long drill bit will cause the axis to be skewed when machining the lower hole, and the coaxiality requirement cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, the extended drill bit has insufficient rigidity and low machining efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a fixture for machining side holes of irregular parts on a four-axis machining center, which can complete the machining of both holes in one clamping on the four-axis machining center.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model proposes a fixture for machining side holes of irregular parts in a four-axis machining center, comprising: a fixture body, a pressure plate locking pin, a wedge-shaped pressure plate, an adjustable self-positioning conical pin, the irregular part, and a cylindrical fixture body.

[0006] The clamping body consists of a vertical plate, a horizontal plate, and a cylinder. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are integrally formed into an L-shape. The vertical plate is the positioning surface 1. The horizontal plate is divided into two parts: a flat part near the vertical plate, forming a 90° right angle with the vertical plate, which is the positioning surface 2; and a sloped part, which mates with the sloped surface of irregularly shaped parts. The vertical plate has two pressure plate pin holes of different heights. The sloped part of the horizontal plate has two positioning holes. The clamping body cylinder is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate.

[0007] Two pressure plate locking pins are pre-inserted into the two pressure plate pin holes on the fixture body. The two pressure plate locking pins are fixed components and are not disassembled during use. The irregular part is placed on the positioning surface 2, and the inclined surface of the irregular part fits against the inclined surface on the horizontal plate of the fixture body. Then, two adjustable self-positioning conical pins are inserted into the two positioning holes through the insertion holes at both ends of the inclined surface of the irregular part. When the adjustable self-positioning conical pins are inserted downwards, the irregular part will automatically come into close contact with the positioning surface 1. At the same time, the two adjustable self-positioning conical pins restrict the axial freedom of the irregular part. Finally, a wedge-shaped pressure plate is inserted into the gap between the two misaligned pressure plate locking pins and the irregular part. The wedge-shaped pressure plate locks the irregular part with the irregular part using the self-locking principle.

[0008] Working principle

[0009] On a four-axis machining center, a three-jaw chuck is used to clamp the cylindrical fixture body for connection and positioning with the machine tool. A dial indicator is used to straighten and align the positioning surface of the fixture body. The irregularly shaped part is placed on the fixture body, and then two adjustable self-positioning conical pins are inserted into the two positioning holes through the insertion holes at both ends of the inclined surface of the irregularly shaped part. By utilizing the conical surface fit of the two adjustable self-positioning conical pins, the positioning reference of the part is brought close to the positioning surface of the fixture body when inserted downwards, thus fulfilling the positioning requirements. Then, using the self-locking principle of the wedge plate, the wedge plate is inserted into the gap between the locking pin and the irregularly shaped part to complete the locking. Finally, the machine is started to machine the holes on the side of the irregularly shaped part. The clamping method is convenient and quick, and the operation can be completed manually.

[0010] After processing, first remove the wedge-shaped pressure plate, then pull out the adjustable self-positioning conical pin to remove the irregularly shaped parts. Then repeat the operation for batch processing.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] The fixture proposed in this utility model solves the problem of machining holes with different axes at both ends of such irregularly shaped parts, achieving a 100% yield rate. It is also easy and quick to disassemble, improving processing efficiency and making it suitable for mass production. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example

[0024] Combination Figures 1-8 The present invention proposes a fixture for machining side holes of irregular parts in a four-axis machining center, comprising: a fixture body 1, a pressure plate locking pin 2, a wedge-shaped pressure plate 3, an adjustable self-positioning conical pin 4, an irregular part 5, and a fixture body cylinder 6.

[0025] The clamping body 1 consists of a vertical plate, a horizontal plate, and a cylinder. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are integrally formed into an L-shape. The vertical plate serves as the positioning surface 1. The horizontal plate is divided into two parts: a flat surface near the vertical plate, forming a 90° right angle with the vertical plate, which serves as the positioning surface 2; and an inclined surface that mates with the inclined surface of the irregularly shaped part 5. The vertical plate has two pressure plate pin holes of different heights. The inclined surface of the horizontal plate has two positioning holes. The clamping body cylinder 6 is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate.

[0026] Two pressure plate locking pins 2 are pre-inserted into the two pressure plate pin holes on the fixture body 1. The two pressure plate locking pins 2 are fixed elements and are not disassembled during use. The irregular part 5 is placed on the positioning surface 2. The inclined surface of the irregular part 5 fits against the inclined surface on the horizontal plate of the fixture body 1. Then, two adjustable self-positioning conical pins 4 are inserted into the two positioning holes through the insertion holes at both ends of the inclined surface of the irregular part 5. When the adjustable self-positioning conical pins 4 are inserted downwards using the conical surface characteristics, the irregular part 5 will automatically come into close contact with the positioning surface 1. At the same time, the two adjustable self-positioning conical pins 4 restrict the axial freedom of the irregular part 5. Finally, the wedge-shaped pressure plate 3 is inserted into the gap between the two misaligned pressure plate locking pins 2 and the irregular part 5. The wedge-shaped pressure plate 3 and the irregular part 5 are locked together by the self-locking principle.

[0027] Working principle

[0028] On a four-axis machining center, a three-jaw chuck is used to clamp the cylindrical fixture 6 for connection and positioning with the machine tool. A dial indicator is used to straighten and align the positioning surface of the fixture 1. The irregular part 5 is placed on the fixture 1, and then two adjustable self-positioning conical pins 4 are inserted into the two positioning holes through the insertion holes at both ends of the inclined surface of the irregular part 5. By utilizing the conical surface fit of the two adjustable self-positioning conical pins 4, the positioning reference of the part is brought close to the positioning surface of the fixture, thus fulfilling the positioning requirements. Then, using the self-locking principle of the wedge plate 3, the wedge plate 3 is inserted into the gap between the two misaligned locking pins 2 and the irregular part 5 to complete the locking. Finally, the machine is started to machine the holes on the side of the irregular part. The clamping method is convenient and quick, and the operation can be completed manually.

[0029] After processing, first remove the wedge-shaped pressure plate 3, then pull out the adjustable self-positioning conical pin 4, and remove the irregular part 5. Then repeat the operation for batch processing.
