Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixture technology, specifically to a multifunctional insulating composite fixture for electromagnetic forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electromagnetic forming is an emerging high-energy-rate forming technology. It is a forming method that uses an instantaneous high-voltage pulsed magnetic field to force the workpiece into shape at high speed under the action of impact electromagnetic force. Electromagnetic forming belongs to the category of high-energy (high-speed) forming technology. There are many types of high-energy forming technologies, but electromagnetic forming eliminates the dangers of explosive forming and is more convenient than electrohydraulic forming. To ensure the stability and accuracy of the high-voltage pulsed magnetic field, the workpiece needs to be clamped by a fixture.

[0003] Common electromagnetic pulse (EMP) fixtures suffer from the following problems: 1. Limited Functionality: Most fixtures are only suitable for workpieces of specific shapes or sizes (e.g., only plates or large-diameter pipes), requiring frequent fixture changes and resulting in low efficiency. 2. Insufficient Insulation: Common fixtures use metal contact surfaces, which cannot prevent current leakage during electromagnetic forming. Fixtures using traditional insulating materials (such as rubber and nylon) have poor high-temperature resistance and wear resistance, leading to insulation failure after long-term use, affecting the safety and accuracy of electromagnetic forming. 3. Poor Clamping Adaptability: Lacking a stable clamping structure for smaller diameter pipes, they are prone to slippage or damage to the workpiece surface. 4. High Maintenance Costs: High-precision fixtures rely on complex structures and precision materials, resulting in high manufacturing costs and requiring professional maintenance, hindering widespread application. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, and innovatively proposes a multifunctional insulating composite fixture for electromagnetic forming equipment, which is not only suitable for flat plates, but also for cylindrical tubular workpieces, and has a wide range of applications.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a multifunctional insulating composite clamp for an electromagnetic forming equipment, comprising a clamp body and a base for fixing on a workbench. The clamp body is equipped with a push rod that drives its opening and closing, and a push head is provided at one end of the push rod near the clamp body. A reciprocating pushing mechanism is provided at the other end of the push rod. A strip-shaped hole perpendicular to the extension direction of the push rod is provided on the push head. The clamp body includes a pair of clamping plates. A pair of connecting members located on both sides of the push rod are provided between the back of the clamping plates and the base. The two ends of the connecting members are respectively hinged to the clamping plates and the base. A slider that is slidably connected to the strip-shaped hole is protruding from the middle of the connecting member.

[0006] The two clamping plates have arc-shaped grooves for clamping tubular parts on opposite sides, and an insulating layer is provided on the clamping sides of the two clamping plates.

[0007] In the above solution, the insulation layer is detachably connected to the clamping plate. This allows for the replacement of the insulation layer, ensuring insulation stability and saving costs.

[0008] In the above scheme: the insulating layer includes an insulating plate, the clamping side of the clamping plate is provided with a positioning groove, the insulating layer is provided with a clamping rib corresponding to the positioning groove, and the insulating plate is also provided with a curved part that fits the arc groove.

[0009] In the above scheme: V-shaped positioning components are provided in the arc-shaped grooves of the clamping plates on both sides, and V-shaped openings are provided on the opposite side of the V-shaped positioning components on both sides. Adjusting bolts are provided on the clamping plates for adjusting the spacing of the V-shaped positioning components, and threaded holes for threaded connection with the adjusting bolts are provided on the clamping plates and the insulating layer. The V-shaped positioning components can adjust the spacing according to the diameter of the tubular workpiece, thus making it suitable for tubular workpieces of different diameters and improving its applicability.

[0010] In the above solution: The side of the V-shaped positioning components on both sides that are far apart from each other is provided with a mounting slot, and the end of the adjusting bolt is provided with a mounting locking part for locking into the mounting slot. This allows for the replacement of the V-shaped positioning components, ensuring insulation stability and saving costs.

[0011] In the above scheme: the insulating layer has an embedding groove corresponding to the V-shaped positioning component, so that the V-shaped positioning component can be embedded and installed into the insulating layer.

[0012] In the above solution, both the insulating layer and the V-shaped positioning component are made of sintered alumina ceramic. Energy loss is reduced by 15%, and the lifespan is increased by 8 times compared to rubber coatings. It avoids forming errors caused by insulation failure, and the hardness and wear resistance are greatly improved.

[0013] In the above scheme: the base is provided with a through hole for the push rod to pass through, and the reciprocating pushing mechanism is located on the other side of the base.

[0014] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the clamping plates are used to clamp the workpiece, and the arc-shaped groove in the middle of the clamping plates is used to clamp tubular parts. It is suitable not only for flat plates but also for cylindrical tubular workpieces, offering a wide range of applications without the need to change fixtures. The insulating layer ensures that the electromagnetic pulse acts only on the workpiece, further guaranteeing the forming effect and thus improving the energy utilization rate and workpiece forming quality during the electromagnetic forming process. The push rod is used to push the two clamping plates closer together for clamping. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the application range is wide.
