AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the orientation requirements of the eccentric oil hole and the mounting bolt hole during the rocker arm shaft machining process result in a long alignment and correction time. The universal V-type fixture cannot be axially oriented, which makes it difficult to clamp the parts, causes the positional accuracy to exceed the tolerance, and can only process one part at a time.
An automatic alignment and clamping device with an eccentric hole on the end face of the rocker arm shaft is adopted. It utilizes the cooperation of the L-end face positioning block, fixture, pressure plate, internal hex bolt, cylindrical pin, mandrel fixing block, thrust spring, automatic alignment device body and diamond tapered pin to achieve automatic alignment through four-pin orientation, thereby eliminating the form and position errors of the shaft hole and fixture.
It achieves automatic alignment of the eccentric hole on the end face of the rocker arm shaft, improves processing efficiency, ensures accurate positioning and position of parts, and enables the simultaneous processing of multiple parts.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology of automatic rocker arm shafts for methanol and natural gas new energy exhaust, specifically an automatic alignment and clamping device for the eccentric hole on the end face of the rocker arm shaft. Background Technology
[0002] In typical rocker arm shaft machining, there is usually a single through-hole in the center. This through-hole is symmetrical, eliminating the need to determine orientation during machining. The machining process allows for rapid clamping, resulting in a simple body structure. After clamping with a V-clamp, the surface is milled, drilled, and tapped. However, in the process of upgrading engine technology to improve fuel economy, the rocker arm shaft structure has been changed. The central oil hole has been replaced with an eccentric single-hole or multi-hole structure. Currently, the most common rocker arm shaft structure is the double eccentric oil hole structure on the end face. Taking the double eccentric oil hole structure on the end face as an example, the eccentric oil hole and the mounting bolt hole have orientation requirements during machining. An eccentric positioning block needs to be made according to the eccentric shaft of the part for alignment. The eccentric positioning block is aligned with the eccentric hole of the rocker arm shaft, and the eccentric positioning block is aligned using a dial indicator before clamping the part. Only one part can be clamped at a time, and the alignment process is relatively time-consuming.
[0003] General-purpose V-type fixtures can only position the workpiece at the end face, not axially. Traditional fixtures have directional rigid pin holes on the end face stops. If the position of the oil hole on the end face is off, the workpiece cannot be clamped. If forced clamping is attempted, the end face will not be flat due to the misalignment between the end face locating pin and the shaft hole. Manually reducing the size of the end face locating pin hole will cause the positional tolerance of the machined workpiece to exceed the tolerance. For workpieces with misaligned oil holes, manual alignment is required, and only one workpiece can be machined at a time. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-7 The embodiment provided by this utility model: an automatic alignment and clamping device for the eccentric hole on the end face of the rocker arm shaft, including a base plate 1, an automatic alignment device body 9, a machined part 16 and an unmachined part 18. Three sets of clamps 3 are provided on the top of the base plate 1. An L-end face positioning block 2 is provided on one side of the top of the base plate 1. An internal hexagon bolt A5 is threaded to the middle of the top of the clamp 3. A pressure plate 4 is sleeved on the top of the outer side of the internal hexagon bolt A5. A pressure plate spring 17 connected to the pressure plate 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the internal hexagon bolt A5.
[0024] The inner side of the automatic alignment device body 9 is fitted with two sets of spindle fixing blocks 7. One side of the automatic alignment device body 9 is provided with an internal hex bolt B10 that is threadedly engaged with the spindle fixing block 7. The inner side of the spindle fixing block 7 is fitted with a set of cylindrical pins 6 and a set of rhomboid tapered pins 11. A thrust spring 8 is provided on one side of the cylindrical pins 6 and rhomboid tapered pins 11.
[0025] Furthermore, the top ends of the three sets of clamps 3 are provided with locating pins A13, and the edge of the top of the clamps 3 is provided with six sets of internal hex bolts C12 that are threaded with the floor 1. The locating pins A13 are used to position the clamps 3, and the internal hex bolts C12 are used to thread the clamps 3.
[0026] Furthermore, two sets of positioning pins B15 are provided on one side of the top of the L-end face positioning block 2, and hexagon socket head cap screws D14 are provided at the four corners of the top of the L-end face positioning block 2 to be threadedly connected to the floor 1. The positioning pins B15 are used to position the L-end face positioning block 2, and the hexagon socket head cap screws D14 are used to thread-fix the L-end face positioning block 2.
[0027] Furthermore, the body 9 of the automatic alignment device is U-shaped, and a set of mandrel fixing blocks 7 are slidably engaged with the body 9 of the automatic alignment device. By loosening the hexagonal socket bolts B10, a set of mandrel fixing blocks 7 can slide along the inner side of the body 9 of the automatic alignment device, so that one set of the two sets of mandrel fixing blocks 7 is a fixed pin end and the other set is a movable pin end, which facilitates the orientation of the workpiece.
[0028] Furthermore, the installation height of the three sets of fixtures 3 is consistent with the plane, which can ensure that the parts automatically align with the horizontal plane.
[0029] Furthermore, V-shaped grooves are provided at both ends of the top of the fixture 3 to facilitate the positioning of the parts.
[0030] Working principle: This device is used to align and tighten the eccentric hole on the end face of the rocker arm shaft;
[0031] 1. Place the part on the fixture 3 and rotate it freely 360° without jamming. The pressure plate spring 17 automatically pushes the pressure plate 4 upward to prevent the pressure plate from falling downward due to gravity when loading and unloading parts, which would affect the efficiency of disassembling and assembling parts.
[0032] 2. Use the automatic alignment device body 9 to initially align the eccentric shaft hole of the part. The eccentric auxiliary fixture has an error prevention function. If the positioning pin hole cannot be aligned when clamping the part, it means that the part is installed in the wrong direction. Re-clamp the part correctly.
[0033] 3. Align the shaft hole of one part in fixture 3 with the mandrel fixing block 7 of the fixed pin, place it horizontally, rotate the other part so that the eccentric shaft hole of the other part is aligned with the mandrel fixing block 7 at the end of the movable pin, and push the whole part toward the L end face positioning block 2 so that the end face of the part is flat against the L end face positioning block 2.
[0034] 4. Shake the automatic alignment device body 9 left and right to observe the part body and the fixture 3 and then pre-tighten the internal hex bolt A5.
[0035] 5. Finally, use a torque wrench to tighten the right bolt, left bolt, and middle bolt in sequence, and then repeat the tightening once more. Manually remove the automatic alignment device body 9.
