[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the automatic positioning fixture for the motor front cover machining center disclosed in this embodiment includes a worktable 1, a support 2, a center positioning component 3, and a clamping component 4. The support 2 is disposed on the top of the worktable 1, supporting the edge of the motor front cover and forming an accommodating space together with the worktable 1. The center positioning component 3 is disposed on the top of the worktable 1 and located in the center of the accommodating space, used to position the bearing holes of the motor front cover. The clamping component 4 is disposed on the worktable 1 and used to clamp the motor front cover onto the support 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the automatic positioning fixture for the motor front cover machining center is used by first placing the motor front cover on the support 2, at which point the bearing hole is aligned with the center positioning component 3. Then, the clamping component 4 is activated to press down and clamp the motor front cover. The center positioning component 3 then positions the bearing hole of the motor front cover, achieving automatic centering and ensuring the concentricity of the bearing hole. After positioning, the motor front cover can be directly machined. The entire process requires no manual positioning, is simple to operate, highly automated, and improves production efficiency and product quality. This achieves automatic centering and ensures the concentricity of the workpiece's shape and inner hole.

[0031] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 includes a top plate 11 and two legs 12 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the top plate 11. The support part 2 and the center positioning component 3 are both mounted on the top plate 11. The legs 12 support the top plate to facilitate installation and to provide a certain height for the top plate 11, which facilitates the installation of the first linear drive part 32 of the center positioning component 3. The support part 2 is a support ring with the same diameter as the front cover of the motor, and the support ring has a certain thickness to support the edge of the front cover of the motor.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The center positioning component 3 includes a first linear drive unit 31 located at the bottom of the worktable 1, a tapered pull rod 32 connected to the output shaft of the first linear drive unit 31, and an outer support member 33 located at the top of the worktable 1. The tapered pull rod 32 is fitted inside the outer support member 33. When the tapered pull rod 32 moves, it can drive the outer support member 33 to open outwards and thus tighten the bearing hole of the motor front cover for positioning. In this embodiment, the center line of the tapered pull rod 32 is collinear with the center line of the bearing hole, and the tapered pull rod 32 extends upwards out of the bearing hole with its tapered surface facing downwards. During positioning, the bearing hole can be directly fitted onto the tapered pull rod 31, and then the first linear drive unit 31 can be activated to drive the tapered pull rod 32 downwards and thus open the outer support member 33, causing the outer support member 33 to open outwards and tighten the bearing hole, thereby positioning the motor front cover. The operation is simple and quick.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 4 The outer support 33 includes a base plate 331 mounted on the top of the workbench 1, multiple elastic plates 332 mounted on the base plate 331, and multiple tensioning edges 333 mounted on the multiple elastic plates 332. The base plate 331 has a through hole in its center for the tapered tie rod 32 to pass through. The multiple elastic plates 332 are axially arranged along the through hole, and the upper parts of the multiple elastic plates 332 are bent outwards to form a sloping conical surface, which fits into the conical surface of the tapered tie rod 32. When the tapered tie rod 32 moves downwards, the two conical surfaces press against each other, causing the multiple elastic plates 332 to expand outwards, and the tensioning edges 333 to press against the edge of the bearing hole to position the front cover of the motor. When positioning is not required, the first linear drive unit 31 drives the tapered tie rod 32 upwards until the two conical surfaces disengage, at which point the elastic plates 332 return to their original position under their own elasticity. Preferably, the base plate 331, multiple elastic sheets 332, and multiple supporting edges 333 are integrally formed. This integrally formed structure has no splicing points or connections, reducing weak points caused by welding or bolt connections, resulting in higher overall strength and making it less prone to loosening or deformation during long-term use, thus improving stability. Furthermore, the base plate 331 has multiple through holes, and the top plate 11 has multiple threaded holes. The through holes and threaded holes are opposite each other; during fixing, screws are passed through the through holes and corresponding threaded holes to secure the outer support member 33.

[0034] In this embodiment, two clamping components 4 are provided, which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the worktable 1, thereby improving the stability of the motor front cover positioning. Specifically, the clamping component 4 includes a first mounting base 41, a second linear drive unit 42 disposed on the first mounting base 41, and a pressure rod 43 disposed on the output shaft of the second linear drive unit 42. When clamping is required, the second linear drive unit 42 drives the pressure rod 43 to move downward to clamp the edge of the motor front cover, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0035] The automatic positioning fixture for the motor front cover machining center in this embodiment also includes a side positioning component 5. The side positioning component 5 includes a second mounting base 51, a third linear drive unit 52 mounted on the second mounting base 51, and a positioning block 53 mounted on the output shaft of the third linear drive unit 52. The third linear drive unit 52 drives the positioning block 53 to move towards the side of the motor front cover. In practical use, the third linear drive unit 52 drives the positioning block 53 to approach the side of the motor front cover, thereby positioning the clamping direction of the motor front cover to be processed, facilitating subsequent processing. The side of the positioning block 53 is provided with a positioning groove 531 that matches the ear plate of the motor front cover. When different clamping directions are required, the positioning groove 531 can be matched with different ear plates. By fitting the positioning groove 531 against the ear plate, the positioning stability is further improved. The inner wall of the positioning groove 531 is provided with a buffer pad, which converts the hard friction between the positioning block 53 and the ear plate into soft friction, reducing damage to the motor front cover caused by the positioning block 53. Of course, buffer pads can be installed on the pressure rod 43 and the tensioning edge 333 to further ensure the integrity of the motor front cover and prevent scratches. The buffer pads can be rubber pads.

[0036] In summary, the automatic positioning fixture for the motor front cover machining center in this embodiment automatically positions the motor front cover from the middle to the side through the cooperation of the center positioning component 3 and the clamping component 4. No manual operation is required, the positioning is accurate and time is short, thus improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0038] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
